Chapter 3 - Beautiful Stranger

She walked closer and caught a glimpse of them. The first one a green haired alien she knew all too well. But she didn't recognize the girl. She was about thirteen years old (AN: Ichigo is seventeen in this fanfic) and had bright red hair with black streaks in it and fell to about three inches above her waist. Her face was covered in black makeup but her blue eyes sparkled in the sunlight. She wore a black tank top with a long sleeve black fishnet shirt over top of that. Her black and red stockings stretched from black combat boots to her short black skirt.

" Leave me alone you demon!" the girl screamed. Not of fear but annoyance. She tried to walk away but Kish teleported in front of her.

" Don't walk away from me now, sugar. Not after all we've been through," he said chuckling as he picked her up. 'Uh oh better transform before this gets ugly' Ichigo thought. Once she was in her Mew Mew gear, she waited ever so quietly behind the trees.

" I don't even know who the hell you are! And your insane to think that I have any powers whatsoever," said the girl squirming in Kish's arms. 'Ok no it's time to act'

" Hey Kish! Why don't you go pick on someone of your own species?" she called out.

" Why if it isn't my favourite little kitty cat. Where's the rest of your little gang? Did they finally ditch you?"

"Let her go Kish. What'd she ever do to you?" she asked. "Strawberry Bell Full Power!" it only wounded him a little but he let go of the girl.

" You may have won this round kitty, but I'll be back and next time it won't be so easy," he said then teleported away.

"Then I can actually make an effort to kick your ass," she mumbled under her breath. 'Oh crap, the girl'

"Hey are you all right?" she said rushing to the girl's side.

"Yeah I'm fine. Who the hell was that guy and how the hell could he do those things," the girl asked. She winced when she tried to stand up. 'Poor thing must have gotten her ankle hurt when she landed from her fall'.

" Well you see he's… an alien. Yes they do exist and I'm the one who has the gift to protect all of mankind from them," she explained.

" Hence the superhero outfit?" the girl asked.

"Yeah. Hey you never told me your name," said Ichigo.

"It's a stupid name. People make fun of my name where I live," the girl said quietly.

"Well when I went to America people made fun of my name. I think it was because they couldn't pronounce it properly. I'm Ichigo and you are?" she said as she extended her hand out. The girl was quiet was quiet for a minute, then took Ichigo's and shook it.

" Hi, I'm Sugar," she said. "I know it's a weird name. My mom kept having sugar cravings when she was pregnant with me," she said.

" But how did Kish, I mean the alien know your name?" she asked.

" Probably just wanted to annoy me with a typical pet name," said Sugar trying to get up but fell back down as soon as she felt the pain on her ankle.

"Here let me help," she said putting Sugar arm over top of her own shoulder, helping her to stand. Suddenly it started to drizzle.

"Come on let's get you to the café," she said. Even though Sugar was light, it was hard to walk fast. And then rain started coming down harder

Ryou was driving through the rain. He hadn't meant to say those things to Ichigo. He was just upset that she was throwing her life away on alcohol and smoking. Not to mention she had gotten into the habit of harming herself. And for all he knew she could be on drugs. 'Jeez this rain is sure hard to see through' he thought and turned on his headlights. Suddenly something caught his eye. A bright pink blur walking in the rain. He pulled the car onto the side of the road. There he saw her soaked, makeup running down her face and still transformed. And there was a girl holding onto Ichigo for dear life and limping. He got out of the car and ran towards her.

" Come on, let's get you and you friend to the café before you both die of a cold," he said reaching out towards her. But she pulled away and kept walking. She wasn't going to let him help her. She would show him she could handle herself without his help.

Haven't you heard?

There's some kind of beautiful stranger

"Ichigo come back here this minute," he shouted. He went to her, blocking her path.

"Get out of my way, she said. GO AWAY! I don't need your help."

"Sorry to burst your bubble missy, but your coming with me," he said picking her and Sugar up and put them in the car. Sugar was as white as a sheet and shaking like crazy. Ichigo kept quiet and held back the urge to sneeze. She didn't want Ryou to see how sick she really was.

You could be good for me

I've had the taste for the danger

If I'm smart then I'll run away

But I'm not, so I guess I'll stay

Heaven forbid, I take a chance on a beautiful stranger

When they got back to the café both the girls were shaking and almost blue in the face.

"Wait here," he said as he went into the café. Seconds later he and Keiiercho came out came out and carried the girls in. Keiiercho took Sugar into his room and Ryou took Ichigo into his. He laid her on the bed and covered her with blankets.

Ichigo's P.O.V

I feel like hell, I'm freezing, my head is pounding and I can't breathe out of my nose. Ryou puts me down on his bed and I feel warm blankets cover me. I clutch them and look up at him.

I looked into your eyes

And my world came tumbling down

His ice blue eyes look worried for me. No, I'm probably just thinking that.

"Here take this, it will help you feel better," he said handing her two little blue pills. I swallow them and take a sip of water from the glass he hands me. I suddenly feel sleepy. Then everything turns black.

Ryou's P.O.V

Her head hit the pillow about five seconds after she swallowed the medicine. She looks so beautiful when she's asleep. Wait, no she's my employee and three years younger than me. Whatever happened earlier didn't mean anything. Nothing, nada, zip, zilch, zero. Maybe I should go check out what Keiiercho found out about the girl. I saw him and he pointed towards the kitchen

End of P.O.V's

"Who is this girl and what was Ichigo doing revealing her identity to her?" asked Ryou

"I'm not sure exactly sure. Her name is Sugar, but she wouldn't give a last name. She said a green haired alien tried to take away and Ichigo saved her," said Keiiercho

"Kish! But I thought he was dead" said Ryou.

"Apparently not. But I found this in her bag. No I.D or anything, just this and some makeup and money," he said handing him some sort of an amulet. Attached to a black string there was a big gold circle with a star in it and on each point of the star there was pink jewel. Ryou was sure he had seen it before.

You're the devil in disguise

That's why I'm singing this song

"What do you think it is," asked Ryou

" I have no idea, let's just hope it isn't evil," answered Keiiercho.

She walking down a fancy hall in a strapless black gown and her hair was pink and was down to her waist. She saw a familiar face, one with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was dressed up in a tux and looked rather handsome.

My name is Ditta

I'll be your mistress tonight

"Ryou! Thank goodness. Where is everyone? What's going on?" he was silent for a minute.

I'd like to put you in a trance

If I take you from behind, push myself into your mind

When you least expect it

Will you try to reject it?

Suddenly he threw her against the wall and pushed his mouth against hers, his body pressed up against hers. The familiar sensation filled her body once again. His tongue clashing with hers.

If I'm in charge and I treat you like a child

Will you let yourself go wild?

Let my mouth go where it wants to?

His hands pulled down the front of her dress, his hands feeling her boobs. Ichigo broke this kiss.

"Ryou what the hell are you…?" she didn't even finish because pulled her back into a passionate kiss. She reached and pulled off his jacket and shirt. Her hand glided over his muscular chest

Erotic, erotic

Put you hands all over my body

Erotic, erotic

Put you hands all over my body

Suddenly images started flashing. Church bells ringing, herself in pain, a little girl in a pink ruffle dress, Sugar a bit older wearing a strange necklace and something terrifying happening to her. Then there was flash of white light. She woke up dripping in sweat, her heart pounding her chest.

'What the hell just happened' she thought. Then the door opened and scared Ichigo so much that she fell onto the floor.

"Are you all right Strawberry?" asked Ryou. Ichigo rubbed her head, nodded and climbed back into the bed.

" Is Sugar all right," she asked.

"Yeah she's fine. Her fever dropped and she's still asleep. Also we found this in her bag. Look familiar to you," he asked pulling out the necklace. Her eyes went wide and she squeaked and hid under the covers. Gulp! Not a good sign.

"Ichigo, what's wrong? You look like you were just forced to marry Kish," Ryou joked.

"Not funny," came a muffled voice from under the covers.

" Then tell me the reason for hide and seek," he said pulling the covers off of her.

"Because in my dream she was wearing that necklace and she was covered in blood and dead".
