Em: Story Time!

Ryou struggled up the stairs of Café Mew Mew, the girls and Keiichiro had opened the café downstairs. He was trying his best not to disturb Ichigo, but he hadn't been lying, she really was heavier than she looked. He reached the hallway at the top of the stairs and managed to open the door of his room. He made his way over to his bed and gently set her down, pulling his blanket up over her. He ran his hand through her hair a wistful look in his eyes. Ichigo murmured in her sleep and squirmed slightly. Barely thinking Ryou leaned down and brushed his lips over her cheek before retreating to the door. He glanced back at her sleeping form and sighed as he left and went down to the café.

There was a large crown and the Mews were bustling around to serve everyone, even Mint was working. As Ryou reached the foot of the stairs Lettuce paused in front of him, concern obvious on her features. "Is Ichigo going to be ok?" He turned toward her seemingly coming out of deep thoughts, "I'm sure she will be fine, she was still unconscious when I left her in my room" the ghost of a smile played across his face as he remembered the feel of her hair between his fingers and his lips on her cheek. Lettuce turned a pale pink and a voice cut in "Excuse me, miss" Lettuce got flustered and stammered, clutching her tray to her stomach "I-I better go and um, go serve, er ah, the c-customers" He nodded and she hurried off.

Kish hovered outside the kitchen door of the café, debating whether to check on 'his kitten' or send an attack while the mews were missing a member. The door swung open and knocked hard into Kish, sending him sprawling to the ground. Mint walked through in the process of taking out a bag of broken dishes (In her worry Lettuce was worse than ever and Pudding was working on a new trick to help Ichigo feel better) to put in the rubbish. She heard the door connect with something and whirled around. When she saw it was Kish she dropped the bag and there was a loud crash as the dishes shattered even further. Kish grinned wolfishly at her and picked himself up off the ground "Hey there bluebird, no reason to look so surprised" Mint transformed with a flash of brilliant light and aimed her bow at him. He transported himself away from the imminent threat and reappeared right behind her "Now, now my little lorikeet, no need to for that" he murmured in her ear. Mint felt herself flush pink at his proximity and whirled around, gracefully jumping back a few steps. She smiled lightly and replied "Maybe, but I see a definite need for this" She leaped elegantly toward him in a precision attack, it was a direct hit and caught off guard Kish was once again sent to the ground. She prepared to launch another attack, but Kish just grinned despite the already forming bruises and transported away. Mint stared at the spot he had been a bit a longer 'What just happened! Why did he just affect me like!' she mentally screamed at herself, 'This is KISH!' she mentally slapped herself, pushing these disconcerting thoughts out of her mind. She detransformed and picked up the bag of dishes.

Ichigo rolled over and burrowed into the pillows, her eyes opened and she slowly took in her surroundings. She bolted upright when she realized she wasn't in her bedroom. The battle came back to slowly and she recognized the room as Ryou's. 'What? When did I get here' she tried to remember. 'Okay, I was hit from behind by that Kirema and … then …' she figured she must have fainted, but then the image of a captivating blue swam through her mind soon followed by a flash of familiar blonde 'Shirogane, he must have brought me here' she fell back against his soft pillows and snuggled into his blanket, she inhaled and her senses were filled with a scent that was unmistakably Ryou's. A smile spread across her face, unbidden and she exhaled with a content sigh. Her eyes closed and she let her mind wander.
