Eleven

As Ichigo walked back to the café, she couldn't help but feel alone. It was weird. She had never felt like that before when she was alone. So why did she feel like that now? As Ichigo walked back she looked all around her. At the clouds, trees, and flowers. It all seemed to remind her of that certain little alien… Why was that?

"Sigh… What's wrong with me?" Ichigo sighed. She looked in front of her to find the others had already gotten a lot of distance between them. They were farther in front of her. Ichigo stood there, taking in all of her surroundings. She stopped in her footsteps and held her hand close to her bosom. A breeze passed by and the loose strands of her hair flowed into her face.

"Kish-kun…" Ichigo whispered to herself. 'Am I… having, feelings for… Kish?' Ichigo thought and stared up at the unending sky, 'I can't… I just can't… He's the enemy, I'm a Mew, I'm not suppose to…' Ichigo clutched the collar of her shirt, 'and that dream… What does it have to do with everything? Why am I so confused? This gujun, baka, kubikazari started it all!'

"Naze?" Ichigo yelled up at the sky.

"Ichigo?" Ryo heard her from the front door of the café. He ran back towards where he last saw her. She was gone.

"Ichigo…" he whispered.

Ichigo was running down the sidewalk of Tokyo. She was crying all at the same time. She was breathing hard and making her way through heavy crowds with not even a simple 'Sumimasen'.

"Ichigo?" Kish could hear Ichigo's cries. Kish made his way to over where Ichigo was running. He flew above her and watched her run.

"What's wrong with Ichigo?" he asked himself. Ichigo ran into a deep part of the woods. Kish followed close above her. She ended up stopping in the middle of a bunch of trees. She sat herself down and planted her face in her knees, and started crying. Kish landing and quickly went over to her.

"Ichigo." He called. She simply looked up and glared at him.

"Ichigo, doushita no?" he reached his hand out toward her.

"Don't touch me, akudama!" she yelled.

"Akudama?" he repeated to himself, "what are you talking about?"

"You heard me, donkusai!" Ichigo stood up to her feet, wiping away her last tears.

"What's wrong with you?" he yelled.

"You!"

"MEW MEW STRAWBERRY! META-!"

"Sit!" Kish yelled angrily.

"Ah! Nya!" Ichigo plopped to the ground face first. She peeped up at him standing in front of her, with her one eye partially bruised.

"Iyagaru, Kish!!!" She yelled so loudly, that it echoed through the trees.

"Ichigo?" His eyes glowed with angry fire, "Roll over!" Ichigo's body quickly turned over and she lay on her back with her paws in the air.

"Nya!" she moaned, "Why can't you just leave me alone?" she yelled.

"Because… Aishiteru, Ichigo…" he said in a softer tone.

"Don't say that!" Ichigo said loudly, trying to hold back her tears, but they soon began to fall anyway, "… Don't say… -that…" she said softly with tears now streaming down her face.

"Ichigo-san…" he took a couple steps back, "stand." He said with almost no motion whatsoever in his voice. Ichigo quickly stood, with water still wetting her cheeks constantly. Without any words, Kish just reached out and hugged Ichigo tightly. She stared blankly at the forested area behind him. Behind him there was a waterfall, flowing beautifully. Ichigo's eyes grew big as Kish just stood there hugging her…

FLASHBACK

"W-where am I?" she said, and sat up looking all around her. She reached her hand out above her to feel the air. As she did a small petal landed on her finger. She smiled at its beauty as she stood up to her feet. She felt a sense of comfort around her. It made her feel warm. She walked around the field and came in contact with an eloquent, flowing waterfall. The fall of the water sounded like the beauty of the song of one million lovebirds in spring. As she came up closer towards the waterfall, she saw a shadowy figure next to it. Ichigo grew curious and continued walking. As she brought herself closer, and closer to the individual, she saw pointy ears, and pale skin. The figure walked up to Ichigo and hugged her tightly. 'W-why is he hugging me?' she thought. He slowly released and looked into her eyes.

"Ichigo, I've missed you… I-I couldn't live without you…" And without a moment's notice the individual placed his lips on Ichigo and kissed her passionately. She just stood there with her eyes wide open, not knowing whether to embrace him or not. As the figure released, she was able to see him clearly… For some reason she couldn't explain, tears began to stream down her face, and sadness overwhelmed her.

"Kish…" she let out softly…

END OF FLASHBACK

"Kish…" she let out in a soft tone. Ichigo just stood there hugging him back.

"Everyone! Ichigo tried transforming a while ago but failed! She must be in danger!" Ryo was in the main room of the café and yelling at the others, "Mew Mews! Ikimasho!" The girls just shook their heads.

"MEW MEW PUDDING! METAMORPHOSIS!"

"MEW MEW MINT! METAMORPHOSIS!"

"MEW MEW ZAKURO! METAMORPHOSIS!"

"MEW MEW LETTUCE! METAMORPHOSIS!"

The girls dropped to the ground and began to run out of the café. Keiichirou walked into the main room to see what was going on. Ryo was heading towards the door and just motioned for him to follow. He simply shook his head and did so.

"Ichigo…" Kish said.

"Hai, Kish-kun?"

"Aishiteru." Kish smirked. Ichigo smiled a bit and stopped her tears a little.

"I love-."

"Windy Thunder Fan!" they quickly felt a large gust heading towards them. Kish grabbed Ichigo and darted away. He sat her down and looked up in the air to find Taruto and Pai.

"You'll pay, Kish." Pai stated firmly. Kish glared at him.

"Dragon Swords!" Kish summoned his swords and stood his ground.

"I never thought this day would actually come Kish." Pai smirked, "Where a day ends up being in your demise…"

"I doubt that." Kish snarled. Ichigo glared at Pai and Taruto.

"Why can't you just leave us alone?" Ichigo yelled.

"Simple. You have what we want." Pai replied.

"Well I would give it to you, if I could!" Ichigo yelled.

"We don't want you to take it off." Taruto spoke up.

"We have a powerful Mew Mew we could control, what could be better?" Pai smirked, crossing his arms.

"That's it gujun!"

"MEW MEW STRAWBERRY! METAMORPHOSIS!" Ichigo glowed and her pink overtop appeared. Her pink skirt popped up and her boots were on. Her tail popped out as well as her ears. She stood there with her paws in the air.

"For the earth's future, I'll be of service, Nya!" she smiled and prepared for battle.

"Even better. We get the mew form." Taruto smiled.

"Strawberry Bell Bell!" she summoned her Strawberry Bell and held it close.

"Ichigo!" Ryo and the others came running through the woods and found Ichigo. Ichigo turned around and saw the others. She smiled a bit.

"Ichigo!" Ryo caught up to her, "What happened? Daijyoubu?" Ichigo smirked.

"Nothing, genki-desu." She smiled. Pai and Taruto laughed evilly.

"We'll stop you!" Ichigo yelled, with a smile. All the mew mews lined up beside Ichigo and Kish. Kish looked over and smirked at Ichigo. Ichigo smiled back.

"Ready?" Kish asked.

"Hai!"
