THREE

"My, my, my Ichigo… You still are a stubborn little kitty… But, that won't last long…" Kish smiled, sitting in the other dimension…

Ichigo was sweeping the floors of the café while the other girls were serving the hungry customers. As Ichigo stood there sweeping, she kept looking down at her necklace. Just glancing at it to see its shining beauty. Ichigo smiled for a second… 'Wait! No stop smiling! This is a bad necklace!' Ichigo told herself, in her thoughts. She quickly wiped the smile off her face and just continued with her work. Ryo and Keiichirou were upstairs in the computer lab trying to figure out what the aliens were up to next.

"Why would the alien just give Ichigo the mew aqua?" Ryo asked rhetorically.

"The aliens wouldn't just 'give it up'. They'd have to have some sort of purpose for it…" Keiichirou rubbed his chin.

"The better question is… Why won't it come off?"

Ichigo and the mews got off of work early because of the fact it was a weekend, something for them to enjoy. Ichigo put back on her clothes and walked out of the café. She continued walking through the park until the street was visible. She held her head down, while she was walking. She kept glancing down at her necklace, and wondering what Kish was planning and why she sat on command. She wasn't a dog… She was a cat! 'It's this stupid necklace,' she thought.

As she walked on the freshly paved sidewalk the wind blew and everything around her seemed to grow quiet. That's when she felt that something was wrong. She quickly brought her head up and took a quick look behind her. Nothing was there. She turned back around, feeling paranoid. She clenched her fists and bit her lower lip. She still walked at the same pace, but wanted to go faster. It was like her legs just didn't want to move. It's like her brain wasn't functioning right with her nerves…

"Konnichiwa… Ichigo…" Ichigo stopped dead in her tracks and turned around. Right there stood Kish with his arms crossed, smirking.

"Kish…!" Ichigo glared at him, "Why won't you just leave me alone?" she said biting her tongue, trying not to say something she might regret.

"Why would I do that, now? I have you right here in front of me…" he smiled and walked up to her. His eyes met with Ichigo's.

"You have the cutest magenta eyes, Ichigo…" he slid his hand down her cheek. Ichigo grabbed his wrist and threw it back down by his side.

"Leave, me, alone!" she yelled and began to run as fast as she could without turning back. Her sweat, from running, dripped down her face. It was no use. Kish flew right in front of her. Ichigo just stopped and turned back around, and continued running. She ran all the way back to the, now empty, park. She stopped and waiting for Kish. He finally landed down in front of her.

"Why do you persistently run, my little kitten?" he walked in her direction.

"That's it Kish!"…

"MEW MEW STRAWBERRY! METAMORPHOSIS!"

Ichigo landed onto the ground and looked at Kish with her lust filled eyes. She stood her ground as Kish stopped in front of her.

"… Tisk, tisk, tisk, Ichigo…" He shook his finger in the air. It just made Ichigo angrier. She summoned her Strawberry Bell and jumped into the air. The rod connected with her Strawberry Bell, as she prepared her attack…

"RIBBON… STAWBERRY… SURP-!"

"Sit." Kish stated.

"Si-! Ah!" Ichigo plopped face-first to the ground. She sat up straight and looked at Kish, with dirt all on her face.

"Itai…" She rubbed her cheek, "that hurt!" she yelled at him.

"Ichigo just transformed and just tried to use her attack without succession!" Ryo yelled from the computer lab. The rest of the mew mews dropped their current position and ran to see what Ryo was talking about.

"What's wrong?" Mint peeped over his shoulder. Keiichirou casually walked in, listening to them.

"Something's happening to Ichigo!" Ryo turned and looked at all the mew mews.

"Where's her location?" Zakuro asked.

"It's not too far from her. The signal's coming from somewhere around the entrance of the park!" he stared over at Keiichirou, "Mew Mews! Let's go!" all the mews shook their heads in agreement and ran out of the café.

"MEW MEW LETTUCE! METAMORPHOSIS!"

"MEW MEW ZAKURO! METAMORPHOSIS!"

"MEW MEW MINT! METAMORPHOSIS!"

"MEW MEW PUDDING! METAMORPHOSIS!"

"Walk." Kish said. Ichigo, not wanting to, stood up and walked over to Kish. She looked up at him with confused eyes.

"How do you keep doing that?!" Ichigo asked angrily. Kish smiled at her question.

"It's that wonderful Mew Aqua you have around your neck," he pointed to her necklace. Ichigo quickly looked down around the necklace, and held the Mew Aqua, staring at it.

"How…?"

"Now, that's something you have to figure out on your own. Now come with me." He held out his hand, kindly.

"Why are you even asking me that after what you've done to me?" Ichigo looked into his eyes.

"Do it, or else, Ichigo. You have no choice. I control you now…" Ichigo's cat ears gloomed down along with her tail. She untransformed and reached for his hand.

"Ichigo!" she heard Ryo call. She had never been so happy to hear his voice. She quickly pulled her hand back and ran towards them. The Mew Mews prepared for their attack.

"I'll see you later, Ichigo… I won't forget…" Kish teleported away…

Ichigo slid down to the ground and sat on her knees. The other Mew Mews untransformed and went to talk to her.

"What happened?" Ryo asked before the other girls were able to say anything.

"Kish…" she paused.

"Kish what?" Mint interrupted. Ryo stared at Ichigo awaiting her answer.

"Kish… Can, control me." She looked up at everyone. There was an awkward silence.

"That's impossible, Onii-chan…" Pudding said.

"It's very possible…" Ichigo stood up, holding on to her sanity, "it's possible because of this…" Ichigo held up the Mew Aqua. Ryo glared at it.

"The Mew Aqua is very powerful… I never thought it'd be this powerful, though…" Ryo turned and walked away, heading back to the café to do some research. Keiichirou walked over to Ichigo and looked at her with kind eyes.

"Don't worry… We'll get you out of this…" he assured her. Ichigo smiled a bit. Everyone let out as sigh and started on their way back to their homes. Ichigo followed closely behind.

The sun was going down and it got dark. Ichigo's house was soon within her sight. She smiled a little bit and walked a little faster, anticipating getting some sleep. Ichigo continued and made it to her doorway. She opened her door and walked inside. She saw her mom in the kitchen washing dishes. She smiled at Ichigo as she walked upstairs to her room. Ichigo got up to her room and shut the door. She walked over and sat on her bed. Then, her phone started to beep. She stood up and walked over to her bag, and pulled out her phone. It said: '1NEW MESSAGE'. She pressed okay. It flipped over to her text message…

It read:

"Hello Ichigo! It seems like forever since I've seen you. Please meet me by the train station at eleven tomorrow. See ya' there!

-Love,

Masaya

Ichigo smiled at the thought of the message. She jumped up and down excitedly, holding the phone to her bosom.

"I get to see Masaya! I get to see Masaya!" she said happily. She put her phone back in her bag and jumped back onto her bed. She sprawled out and closed her eyes, awaiting the new day….
