Kisshu watched as Ichigo stared at him and sensed a rather rare feeling in the air.

"I—" Kisshu began.

"Baka!" she interrupted, "You stupid stupid baka! Because of you I now have to get married and it's not even to Masaya!"

"I didn't want this to happen kitten, I just wanted to mess around with you and have fun until finally you were mine. This is way too fast for me aswell." he explained.

Ichigo frowned, "This is your fault, undo it!"

"I can't." Kisshu replied.

Ichigo sighed and went and sat on her bed, Kisshu took a step forward but stopped when she threw a pillow at him.

"You better not tell anyone about this!" she warned.

"Define anyone..." Kisshu replied smiling slyly.

"I mean anyone!" she shouted back, "Masaya, the mews, my parents! No one is to know until this is sorted!" she cried.

Kisshu felt slightly annoyed when she mentioned the loser's name but nodded weakly.

"Now go away!" she shouted.

Kisshu transported away, although he hadn't meant this to happen he was interested in what would happen. If Ichigo did marry him then it would be like a dream come true and that Masaya would have to deal with it.

Ichigo sat on her bed frowning, no matter what it took she would get out of this contract! Glancing at the locket around her neck she tucked it into her shirt so no one would see it. Sighing, she stood up and decided to go for a walk to clear her mind.

-X-

Whilst walking through the park she spotted something and looked to see Mint and Pudding coming to her.

"Mint! Pudding!" Ichigo shouted running up to them.

"Huh Ichigo?" Mint asked.

"Hi how are things at the café?" Ichigo said.

"Good no thanks to you going off early!" Mint said.

"But Ryou said I could go early." Ichigo protested.

"Huh whats the shiny thing around your neck?" Pudding suddenly asked.

Ichigo put a hand to her neck to cover it and took a step back, "N...nothing!"

"Is that a necklace?" Mint added.

Ichigo looked from one to the other as they came closer, "Come on guys let's just leave it!" Ichigo stammered.

Before she knew it the two girls were tackling her until they had her pinned and Pudding pulled the necklace forward to try and get it off.

"Hey that hurts!" Ichigo cried knowing it wouldn't come off no matter what.

"Eh what's that say?" Mint asked.

"Kisshu and Ichigo?" Pudding stated.

"What is this?"

"If you let go of me I'll tell you!" Ichigo shouted back.

The two girls stepped away and Ichigo stood back up and took a deep breathe in, however as soon as she had done so she turned and ran away.

"Hey come back!" Mint shouted running after her with Pudding.

Where to go? Where to go? Where to go!?

"Perfect!" Ichigo cried turning a corner and running into an alley till Mint and Pudding ran straight past. Ichigo peeped around to make sure they had gone, the last thing she needed right now was those two finding out anything about the contract.

"Having fun?"

Ichigo turned around to the familiar voice, "Kisshu what are you doing here! I thought I told you to go away!"
Kisshu came down and touched the ground, "Well I wanted to see how my bride to be was doing."

Ichigo growled angrily, "Leave me alone you moron!"

Kisshu sighed, "Guess you're still in a mood... guess you don't want to hear more information about the locket..."

"Huh?" Ichigo asked, "There's more?"

Kisshu nodded, "Yup."

"Well tell me then." Ichigo said.

Kisshu smiled, "Well apparently we have three weeks to get married or we both die..."

"Three weeks!" Ichigo exclaimed, "That's no where near enough time to think of a way out!"

Kisshu shrugged then smiled slyly, "There's one more thing..."

"What?" Ichigo asked.

Kisshu stepped forward, "If we don't kiss by midnight on the day the contract was made... we both die automatically..."

Ichigo's eyes widened, "Eh! Have you forgotten that if i kiss someone i turn into a cat!" she shouted.

Kisshu smiled, "Don't worry kitten, the contract you're in overpowers that so we can kiss as much as we want."

Ichigo stared horrified, "But... i..." she stammered trying to find an excuse.

Kisshu took another step forward, "So... I think we better kiss... unless you want to die that is."

Ichigo took a step back as he stepped forward and put her hands up, "H...hang on! You can't just expect me to—"

"You'll die..." he interrupted smiling and Ichigo knew he was enjoying this.

"You mean we have to kiss?" she asked.

Kisshu nodded, "On the lips."

Ichigo felt herself shudder and after straightening herself up gave a slight nod.

Kisshu smiled in delight and leant forward to Ichigo; Ichigo meanwhile shut her eyes tightly and could only think to Masaya. Why was this happening to her? If only Masaya would come back... then everything would soon be sorted...

Ichigo opened her eyes again only to see him a mere inch away until he finally...

--

Yeah! A good cliffy I think. Yuk I can't believe she still likes Masaya... what actually does she see in him? I wish Kisshu would just give up on her and come with me as at least I would accept him!

Kisshu: For the last time no!

Me:Huh? Kisshu! Yeah you're here, are you finally going to marry me then! If so I have all the preparations!

Kisshu: No now stop ringing me at night and stalking me...

Me:Awwww... but...

Kisshu: Just stay away... alright?

Me: (Pouts) Fine then I guess I'll just have to do this the crazy fangirl way! (Gets long coil of rope out and grins)

Kisshu: (Gulps) What are you going to do? Why are you coming closer? Stay away! Why do you have such an evil look in your eye? Aghhhhhhh! Someone who isn't insane and who is reading this help me!
