Ichigo x Kishu

Cat Fight

Ichigo saw Kishu standing over her. She knew it was over.

"You poor thing. Did the dog hurt you?" He knelt down to pet her.

Ichigo thought He'd seen her like this but guess he can't tell the difference.

"Here. I'll take you to my place. You can sleep there for the night. It's getting really dark." He said picking her up and carrying her in.

Ichigo saw the inside of Kishu's apartment. It was surprisingly clean and neat.

"Here you go." He set her down on a big quilt. She guessed it was his bed.

"I'll get you some milk. I think I still have some cooked fish." He went to get the milk and food and was back in just a few minutes.

Ichigo wasn't going to complain but she felt like this was wrong.

"You are a sweet kitty. Too bad you not my kitty." Kishu said petting her.

"Ichigo. She isn't my kitty. But I wish she would. I wished she's let me in." Ichigo was hearing this from him.

"But she hates me. I tease and joke around too much. And I took her first kiss. I thought that's how you claim one you love. But not here. There isn't any girl like her." Kishu was being gentle with every stroke he pet on her back.

Ichigo almost felt relaxed.

"But she won't open up to me. I know she is hiding something. Ever since Blue knight broke her heart. I wanted to know what happened. I didn't tell her that I beat the hell out of him. I found out what he did you her." Ichigo froze. He knew!

"He did that to her. I wanted to kill his so badly. But I knew she would be upset and cry. The thought of her crying makes me want to beat myself up. I wish I could have been there for her. But I guess with the way I am...She'll never open her heart to me." Kishu wiped a single tear from his eyes.

"Your a good listener." He said.

Ichigo didn't know just how much Kishu knew. Or how much he was hurting because he knew and she didn't tell him.

She didn't want anyone to know about that. The fact that she was used. All her innocence gone.

"If it were me...I would have treated her with more respect then what he did. No one uses my kitty as a toy but me!" Kishu clenched his fist.

Ichigo wanted to scratch him... But she couldn't.

She cuddled up in his lap.

"Your a good listener." He smiled.

That night Ichigo slept with Kishu (As a cat!) and got to know him a lot better.

By the next morning...

"You okay?" Ryo asked Ichigo.

"Yeah. I'm sorry for the way I was acting. Or catting. But I think it's time I told the guys." She smiled.

Ryo smiled back at her. "You went to him place didn't you?" Ryo asked.

Ichigo didn't answer but her red face gave him the clue that she must have.

"Kishu." She called him.

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry for exploding on you. I guess I have been holding on to so much that it just needed to come out. I really didn't mean to be so mean." She said.

Kishi patted her head. "Thanks for telling me. I'm sorry too. I should have been more considerate of your feelings. And the way I've treated you..."

"Don't. I know you try to cheer me up and make the place more lively." She says.

The two smile and head back to work.

"Hey... Pie. Do you notice soemthing different about Kishu and Ichigo?" Taruto asks.

Pie smiles as the two give glances at each other.

"I believe they have come to an agreement on something." He says.

Break time...

"Hey Kishu." Ichigo calls. "Want to head over to the park and share some sandwiches?"

Kishu was shocked but he didn't show it. "Sure."

And the two begin anew.

The End.
