Whew…..are we on chapter 5 already? Anyway, this chapter may not be what you expected from me; I am having major writers block right now. I have all this stuff for later chapters and I can't even plan out chapter 5. There might be lots of skipping. It depends on how far I get.

I do not own TMM.

Ichigo buried her head into Ryou's chest that night. He held her tight and stroked her red hair gently. Ariel and her baby sister were already asleep. Ichigo whispered to Ryou, "What should we name it?" Ryou opened his eyes which were half closed when Ichigo asked that question. He sighed and said, "I don't know….how do we know what it's going to be?" Ichigo thought about this for a moment, then silently said, "Well, if it's a boy, I want to name it something short….like Tori or Riley….and if it's a girl…..i like the name Kaguya or Kimi…." Ryou chuckled and held her even closer. "If that's what you want to name it….boy or girl…...go ahead…" he stated. He closed his eyes again and fell into a deep sleep.

Kish was sitting in a dark room. It was quiet and the best place he could think of to try and think. Pai and Tart were thinking of new ways to destroy the Mew Mew's. But something puzzled him. At that girl's concert, Ichigo never changed form. It was like it was too dangerous to change for one thing or another. So, he decided to go down to Earth and see what exactly was going on.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Kish popped himself in front of Ichigo's house. He then teleported himself inside of her room. It was strange though; it was like she had never lived there. Everything was gone. Her bed was still there but she was not in it. He wondered, "Was it possible she was working really late?" He decided to pop into Café Mew Mew. The lights were off. No one was there. So he silently teleported into the café. He checked everywhere. He decided to give up when he heard Ichigo's voice.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Ichigo screamed. She had just had one of the worst nightmares of her life. It was so horrible; she didn't even want to think about it. Ryou heard her scream and soon, Ariel was up and so was Naieesha; bawling her eyes out. Ariel got up and went downstairs, but somehow, she didn't see Kish. Ichigo started crying as Ryou pulled her close for comfort and started stroking her hair again. Ichigo didn't want to talk about it, but she seemed glad that he was there.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Kish had silently walked up the stairs and peaked into where he heard her voice come from. He avoided Ariel and to his horror and displeasure, she saw him in the arms of another guy. But his wasn't the black haired guy; this was the blonde guy. And she was sleeping. In his bed. WITH HIM!! Kish became outrage and heard footsteps coming up the stairs. He wasn't quick enough to escape; Ariel saw him standing there. He then smirked and teleported back to the spaceship.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Ariel just stood there in amazement. Kish had found out. She knew he had a crush on Ichigo and that the sight of her and Ryou together would tick him off. She barged into the room. Ichigo had finished crying, but Ryou was still holding her. "Bad news you two….Kish knows…" she said.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

It turns out; Kish had not teleported to the spaceship. He actually teleported to a phone booth. He could use this to his advantage if that one guy knew. He called the operator who instantly gave him a number. Masaya answered. "Hello?" he asked. Kish smirked. "Come see me in the alley a block away from your house; 10 minutes. I think I can help with your problem," he said and hung up. Sure enough, Masaya was there in 10 minutes. Kish hid himself in the shadows so he wouldn't be seen.

"Glad you made it," said Kish. Masaya knew from the voice who he was, but he didn't let him know that. "As you know or may not know, we have a little problem on our hands. Mainly, it has to do with Ichigo and her affair with that blonde boy." Masaya backed away. How did he know? He hesitated to answer, but finally, "Yes….what should we do?"

"I'm willing to make a pact to eliminate this problem…..and in return…..Ichigo's heart will be yours," Kish explained. He made his last statement short and to the point. "So do we have a deal?" asked Kish, holding out his hand. Masaya didn't hesitate like he did before. "Yes, we do," said Masaya as he grabbed Kish's hand. "Excellent, now lets think of a plan to eliminate this problem," stated Kish, smirking.

4 months and 27 days later…………………

Ichigo's cram exams were coming up. She was wondering if she would remember it all. Luckily, she had Ryou, and he helped her study. Her stomach was growing bigger by the day, and Moe and Miwa had already started reporting to her what others were saying. "I heard Aleena saying you must be a prostitute or something," said Miwa one day. This hurt Ichigo a lot, but she had to remain strong. Every day she started hearing even nastier things said about her, and every day, there were more. Luckily, in three days, she would be graduating and leave the school for good.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Masaya couldn't concentrate in his Algebra 1 class. All he did was run through the plan in his mind. They decided to have a sort of kidnapping and do it in a crowd so know one would think anything unusual. He actually started drawing out the plan. Luckily, Ariel was sitting in on the class to see what her high school would be like next year. Everyone thought she was a regular student. Once the bell rang, Masaya accidentally dropped the paper and Ariel picked it up. She was heading back to the middle school, when she heard fire-trucks zooming by and a certain alien in the sky not far from there. She stuck the note in her pocket and transformed and went down there.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Kish wasn't launching Kirema Anima's like usual. He decided he wanted to try something new. He started launching fire crackers he had supposedly "picked up" on the way. Ariel saw she was the only one there. She could not handle this by herself. All the others either didn't get the message or couldn't get out of school. Then she remembered something really important. Kish had a crush on Ichigo. "Double Whiplash Attack!" she shouted and her whips grabbed a hold of Kish's feet. Once one was firmly secured, she took one off and secured it to his right hand; pulling him in. She then did the same with the other one, until their faces were only inches apart. She pulled him a little closer until their lips touched. She knew this was one way she could get rid of him fast.

Second later, they pulled apart and Kish teleported back to the spaceship with a face of disgust. Ariel came back down to the ground, only to find Zakuro, Mint, and Lettuce staring at her in amazement. Not to mention, the media that was surrounding her. "Mew Pear, is there any relation between you and the alien?" asked one reported. "Is this going to keep you from fighting because you will be battling your lover?" asked another. Ariel blushed and started to run, the other girls following.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Ryou was enraged. Two days later, he threw a paper in front of Ariel's face. It showed a close-up picture of her kissing Kish. It was on the front page with the title "Mew Mew Engaged in Love Affair With Enemy". Ariel blushed again. Ryou turned on the TV and the news crew had actually taped it. It showed the clip; it had been showing it for a couple days now. Ariel blushed even more. "What were you thinking?" he shouted at her. She shrugged. "Um….i needed to get back to the middle school and I needed to do get rid of him fast before I was late." Ryou was even madder now. "Ariel, I will let you do any method of fighting you want but kissing the enemy? What are you actually lovers behind my back?" he shouted. The last remark took Ariel off guard.

"Excuse me, but he killed my family! Do you think I would fall in love with a creep like that!" she hollered back at him. Ok, so maybe she did feel something between them but…what was she thinking?!! She was not falling in love with him….was she?

She sat down and heard a crinkling noise in her pocket. The paper!! She showed it to Ryou and it was like he knew what the paper was talking about. "This paper says they're going to kidnap Ichigo at her graduation party tommarow!" said Ryou. He needed to think of something quick. If Ichigo didn't show up, they would suspect something. Ryou then looked back at Ariel and smirked. "Fine, if you want to be with you lover, here's your chance. You are going to dress up as Ichigo and go to that graduation party," he explained calmly.

"Are you nuts!!? Kish is not my lover!! Besides, Ichigo and I don't look anything alike!" she yelled back. Ryou's smug loom did not come off his face. "It's a couple of inventions called contact lenses and hair dye. You'll look like her twin," he said. "Besides, you owe me for that thing you pulled off." Ariel sighed. "Fine, I'll do it," she said.

Ok, that was chapter 5. And I bet you want an explanation on why Ryou is so ticked off. If Ariel were to fall in love and switch sides, they would be into a lot of deep shit. Reasons why? 1. Ichigo is unable to battle. 2. Ariel leaving would mean four against four. 3. Ariel leaving would mean four against four. Those work two ways. The first one means the aliens would have an extra member. The other means the Mew Mew's would be short one member. Anyway , read and review, over and out. –Nibzo
