Hello people! I'm back! Everyone must be very happy! Anyway…I'm sorry the chapters are coming up so slowly, I can't think of any ideas. There's WAY too much dialogue in my other chapters. And this one too. Again, thank you to my reviewers for chapter three:

Applecake

Mew-Sahara

Tokyomewmewgal

FallenGoth13

PM me if I missed you.

Please please please help me! I NEED chapter titles, and I can't think of any ideas either. Thanks Tokyomewmewgal for the titles…they're awesome, and I'll probably use them, but I'll try to gather more suggestions first. Very much appreciated…I'm currently writing a RyouxIchigo story too right now, just not very fast, haven't worked on it for a month or so, so please be patient! Thanks!

BTW, I'm going to add more PuddingxTaruto fluff in the next chapters, and IchigoxKish, if you don't like the pairings then too bad I love them.

Oh, and read Clover of Damnation's stories. They're AWESOME.

Last Time

"How long are you staying on Earth for?" Pai asked, looking slightly afraid. A few months?"

"Nope," came the cheerful answer. "One year."

"Oh God," Ryou murmured and slumped into a chair dramatically.

"Enough questions about us…you can question Taruto when he gets here. For now, where is my neko-chan?"

Everyone groaned in unison. "At home, and you're not going there." Ryou replied.

"Oh yeah?" Kish challenged, and teleported off.

"This is going to be a long, long day," Ryou muttered and went upstairs.

Now

At Ichigo's house

Kish teleported into Ichigo's kitchen, with that flawless timing that he always has, just as her parents walked in. (A/N she lives on her own, and her parents are visiting for supper that day)

Her mom almost dropped the plate she was carrying. "W-what is that…that thing!"

Kish drew himself up, looking indignant. "I am NOT a thing! I am an intelligent…person!"

Ichigo sighed. "He's an…acquaintance, Mom. Could you give us a minute?"

"Of course." Ichigo's formerly way overprotective father led her mother out. He had faith in Ichigo, and knew she would never cheat on Masaya. He would never let her date again if she did, even though she had moved out. (A/N It almost killed me to write that…I HATE MASAYA! Anyway…)

After they were gone, Ichigo exploded. "Kish what are you doing here? Didn't the Mew Aqua heal your planet? WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT!"

Kish looked mildly surprised at her outburst, but the surprise rapidly disappeared as he smirked at her again. He quickly teleported behind her, spun her around and kissed her.

"K-KISH!" Ichigo broke away and scratched him hard on the face. She had turned into a cat again.

"Ow, what was that for? Is neko-chan upset?" Kish kissed her again and she turned back to normal.

"Of course I'm upset, you retard! You couldn't have waited until my parents left?" Ichigo swiftly remembered her parents were there and quieted down slightly. "Shut up before they come in and investigate. My father will kill you. "

"He can try." Kish grinned arrogantly. "He's just a human. What could he possibly do?"

"You'd be surprised," Ichigo muttered. "What would he do if he saw me as a cat?"

Why did he have to show up now, of all times? 'I would have loved to see him some other time…no! What am I thinking! I don't like Kish…I definitely don't love him! Right! I'm with Masaya…not that horrible, arrogant, evil, extremely hot alien!…ARGH no he's NOT hot I love Masaya, I love Masaya, I love Masaya…'

While Ichigo was wrapped up in her thoughts, Kish had been staring at her, thinking something different. 'How did I fall in love? I was supposed to destroy her…I might have been able to before, but I'll never be able to do it now…just like Pai will never kill Lettuce and Taruto will never kill Pudding. We can't. It's too hard.'

After those thoughts, Kish broke out of his reverie. "Well, I better get going, Kitten. I need to find a place to stay." He really just wanted to see her reaction to that.

Ichigo's head snapped up. "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY! YOU'RE STAYING ON EARTH!"

Kish grinned. "Yup. I've been exiled. Now I get to spend more time with my Kitten! And Taruto will be able to spend time with Pudding, and Pai with Lettuce! This will be fun!"

"Kish, you have a seriously twisted idea of fun. How long are you…living here…for?"

"One year," was the happy reply.

"WHAT!" was Ichigo's reply. "I'm stuck with you for a whole year! Ooooh…Masaya's not going to be happy about this!" the last part was a kind of taunt for Kish, but when she saw how his face fell, she felt genuinely guilty.

"You're still with him? Well then, I'd better go Kitten…see you later…" With that he teleported off.

'Now I feel terrible…what an idiot I am! He'll probably be at the Café…I'd better go there anyway, or I'll be late.'

Ichigo got her purse and hurried out the door. Unconsciously she went toward the shortcut through the alley she had been avoiding since she turned into a cat.

"Well, look what we have here! A pretty little girl with a purse!" A man stepped out of the shadows. He was shabbily dressed, but looked strong and tough. He had seen a lot.

More men started coming out of the shadows. There were five of them, dressed the same as the first.

"Leave me alone!" Ichigo shouted, looking afraid. She was strong, but not enough to take on these six, unless she transformed which she obviously couldn't do.

One of the men came charging at her, knocking her down hard. He stood triumphantly over her-and then fell with a gasping noise.

"Leave her alone!" A voice yelled. 'Kish!' Ichigo thought. He teleported behind another man and knocked him down with the hilt of one of his Dragon Swords. He then teleported to Ichigo, scooping her up in his arms bridal-style. Ichigo whispered, "Kish?" before he teleported away and everything went black.
