Seven

Kish teleported down to earth and walked through the park, down to the mew mew's hideout. He walked up to the front door and saw a crack through the door. He peeped through and saw everyone conversing. He scowled as he saw Masaya there. He watched everyone closely…

"I swear, that Shirogane-san…" Ichigo crossed her arms. Masaya giggled a little. Ryo walked back into the other room where the mew mews were. He peeped into his pocket pulling out the booklet he had found earlier.

"Hmm…" he looked at it. Then, he gently placed it back in his pocket without Kish noticing. Ichigo sat down on a chair to rest, while Masaya sat down beside her.

"So, Momomiya-san, how's your day been so far?" Masaya smiled. Ichigo blushed.

"Um… Ii desu yo!" she smiled back.

"Great." Ryo walked over and stood beside Mint, "Well, I should probably go now, Momomiya-san." Masaya smiled, standing up.

"You're leaving already?" she frowned.

"Hai. Dewa mata!" he said walking towards the door. Kish quickly moved against the wall, seeing Masaya was coming. Then, he quickly jumped back and stared through the peephole. He opened the door, and didn't notice a thing.

"She acts like she likes him a lot, yet she doesn't even hug him…" Ryo spoke up. Suddenly, Ichigo turned around and wrapped her arms around Ryo in a hug. Ryo stood there stunned and wide-eyed staring at Ichigo. She did the same. Suddenly, he just pushed her away and yelled, "What are you doing?" Ichigo just dusted off her dress and said, "It's not like I wanted to!"

"Then, why did you just hug me?"

"I don't know! I don't control my body!" Ichigo made a funny face realizing what she just said.

"Really? Well, don't let it happen again." He crossed his arms and walked into the kitchen.

"Ichigo…" Mint smirked.

"Don't you even think of looking at me like that! I didn't want to hug him!"

"Really, Ichigo-san?" she kept smirking; "because actions speak louder than words…" she then took a small sip of her tea.

"Shut up!" she yelled and crossed her arms, not knowing what to say.

"That's strange…" Zakuro spoke up.

"Huh?" Ichigo looked over at her.

"You said Kish would command you, right?"

"Um… I guess…" Ichigo uncrossed her arms.

"Well, what would he do to do that? What would he say?"

"Like 'sit' and 'stand' I guess…"

"Certain words?"

"Yeah, I think so…" Zakuro scratched her chin at Ichigo's answer.

"And just now, when Ryo said something about a 'hug', you hugged him?"

"He said something about a hug?" Ichigo looked at her dumbfounded.

"Hai, Ichigo-san." Lettuce added, nodding her head.

"That's strange…" Ichigo said. Then, Kish's eyes grew wide.

"That stupid human has it!" he whispered. While the mew mews were talking, the doors busted open and Kish came flying in.

"Kish?!" Ichigo shouted. He smiled and winked at Ichigo.

"I can't let you go that easy now can I?" he smirked, "Where is that blonde-haired human?" Kish looked around the room. Soon, Keiichirou and Ryo came in wondering what the fuss was about.

"Alien!" Ryo shouted. Then, Masha started going crazy, "Alien! Alien!"

"Little late for that, Masha, don't you think?" Ichigo complained.

"There you are!" Kish shouted, "Hand it over!" he pointed at Ryo.

"Hand what over?" he shrugged.

"Baka! Give it to me! Or I'll do it by force!" Kish summoned his swords and went flying at Ryo.


"MEW MEW STRAWBERRY! METAMORPHOSIS!" Ichigo jumped into action and grabbed Ryo out of the way of Kish's attacks.

"Bad kitty!" Kish yelled, "I'll punish you, when I'm done!" He continued to slash at Ryo, and Ichigo summoned her Strawberry Bell and blocked his attacks.

"Some help guys?" Ichigo looked at the others.

"MEW MEW LETTUCE! METAMORPHOSIS!"

"MEW MEW ZAKURO! METAMORPHOSIS!"

"MEW MEW PUDDING! METAMORPHOSIS!"

"MEW MEW MINT! METAMORPHOSIS!"

All the mew mews landed on the ground and went over to help Ichigo. Through all of Kish's swings at Ryo, he kept moving every which way behind Ichigo.

"Take this!" Kish swung really hard, almost grazing the side of Ryo's face, but he was able to avoid it. At that moment, the brown booklet fell out of Ryo's pocket. Kish saw it out of the glimpse of his eye. He smiled. The others ran in front of Ryo and Ichigo.

"Leave!" Zakuro commanded.

"I will now." Kish smirked and put away his swords. He dived down at the booklet and grabbed it.

"Sore dewa!" Kish waved and teleported away…


Ichigo and the others untransformed and gathered around Ryo. Ryo stood up breathing heavily. He was fine though.

"What did he want, Shirogane-san?" Lettuce asked sheepishly.

"The book…" he said and placed his hands in his pockets.

"Book?" Ichigo looked at him funny.

"That book that he grabbed at the last moment…"

FLASHBACK OF KISH GRABBING THE BOOK

Kish dives down and grabs the book…

END OF FLASHBACK OF KISH GRABBING THE BOOK

"That book, I think, has something to do with everything. Especially that necklace." He pointed to Ichigo's neck.

"Oh that book?" Ichigo finally remembered, "How did you even get it?"

"After you and your boyfriend were here last…"

"He's not my-!"

"And I stepped on it and grabbed it…" Ryo interrupted Ichigo's rage.

"That makes sense…" Zakuro spoke up.

"Huh?" everyone looked at Zakuro.

"Think about it," she continued, "When did Kish's commands stop working? When did you hug Ryo?"

"Oh…" Ichigo finally got it, "So since we've got the book… He can't control me anymore!" she smiled.

"Hold it there Kitty…" Ryo interrupted, "He just took the book, remember? You're the one who let him…" A throbbing vein appeared on Ichigo's forehead.

"Don't you start with me-!" Ichigo held up her finger.

"Let it go." Zakuro said and walked away.

"Where are you going?" Ichigo asked.

"Home. Shift's over." She said and grabbed her jacket. Everyone followed and proceeded to leave.

"Matte!" Ichigo shouted, "I'm not safe! What if Kish grabs me?"

"Let him…" Ryo smirked. Ichigo's face grew red with steam.

"Actually you should…" Ryo said again.

"Why is that?" Ichigo crossed her arms.

"Let him take you. Then, gain his trust, and get him to bring you back to earth… Then, transform and we'll track you, and get back the book and gain a mew aqua…"

"Wow…" you really thought this through…" Ichigo said.

"No, not really…" He said.

"Um… Ii yo…" Ichigo said nervously and grabbed her jacket. Ichigo headed out of the door, and closed it slowly, looking all around. It was starting to get pretty dark. Ichigo gulped. She let out a sigh, and reassured herself with an, "Okay!"

Ichigo held tight to her jacket, squeezing it around her body. She was getting more paranoid by the second. She still hadn't made it to the street yet, and was still walking through the park area. As she looked around, she began to grow calmer, and finally she let out a sigh of relief…

"Hi, Honey!"

"Ah!" Ichigo tripped and fell. Kish popped out of a tree, hanging upside down from a branch. Ichigo shook her head and stood back up. He smiled at her.

"Time to go, Kitten." Ichigo then remembered to 'play it cool'…

"Right…- Oh! Um… Of course!" she smiled, "I've been waiting for you. You left me!" Ichigo hugged his waist and thought she was going crazy.

"My, my, Ichigo… I've got to say, I like this side of you… Haha…" he smirked, "I've got you something." He smiled. Ichigo grew curious and let go of his waist. 'He got me something?' she repeated in her head.

"Here!" Kish pulled out some roses from nowhere. Ichigo's eyes sparkled.

"Utsukushii!" she quickly grabbed them. Ichigo hugged him again. 'Wait… Did I just hug him out of my own free will?' she thought…

"Of course they're no where near as beautiful as you…" he smirked and crossed his arms. 'Does he get these lines from cereal boxes?' she thought.

"Now come, Ichigo." He held out his hand, and Ichigo held onto him. He teleported away into the other dimension…
