Hi! Second chapter is here! only a day after the first too... but anyway. I'm thinking of posting a new story, even though I'm only into the second chapter. I would ask for people to review, and tell me what they think there, but I don't actually think I've got many readers. If any.

But anyway. R&R PEOPLE!

Enjoy.

P.s: I know it's short. They will get longer after about chapter 5. I hope.

When Ichigo awoke next morning, she kept her eyes firmly shut. She did not want the dream (Kishu's dream) to fade, as dreams always did. Ichigo opened her eyes, looked at her feet and sighed. Suddenly, her body let out a large JOLT of realization.

"I…. I love him." She repeated the sentence, louder this time, and stood up, pausing only for the brief head rush she got. Her gaze was towards the window, where a gorgeous alien slept. Ichigo fell back on to the bed. 'Arigato.' She thought. 'Arigato.' Ichigo lay back and took to watching her beautiful godsend slumber, wondering, but not caring, why he was there. Kishu slowly and sleepily opened one eye. He was awake. Ichigo's eyes widened as she sat up again.

"You're awake." Ichigo stated the obvious.

"Yeah"

"I… I missed you." Ichigo said it nervously, like she wasn't sure what to expect.

"I missed you too kitten." Ichigo took an almost comical double take, and said:

"Where've you been?"

"What?"

"What I mean is, How's your planet? And how come you're not there? Wherever it is."

Of course, This exited Kishu Greatly, Because it meant she was INTERESTED! Ichigo was interested in him? His Ichigo? Kishu raised an eyebrow.

"What is it you want to know then, kitten?

"Anything. Everything!"

"Uhh... Alright, But that really doesn't give me much to work off." Ichigo put on her stubborn face when he said it. "Fine, Fine. Don't get youre tail in a twist." Ichigo had to laugh at that. It was purely coincidence of course, or at the very least he would SAY it was a coincidence, That Kishu brushed her shoulder, causing her ears and tail to pop out. Kishu laughed as loud as he dared. It was such a.. such a free sound it made Ichigo blush from ears to tail. Kishu raised both his eyebrows. At last, he was back with her.

"How's thing with" Kishu cringed. "AOYOMA." Ichigo smile creased into a confused frown.

" Kishu.. Oh Kishu, I don't think I love him anymore." Kishu frowned too, but Ichigo could see quite clearly he was celebrating. With Streamers. Big ones. Ichigo nearly smiled. Very nearly, but then sighed.

"What's up?"

"It's just..."

"Yeah?"

"Well, I forgot how easy it was to be with you."

Kishu's frown became real. He loved Ichigo. Deeply and truly, he did. He wasn't sure if Ichigo would return the favour. Still, at least the odds were with him, for now at least.

"So, what have you been up to, Koneko-Chan?" Ichigo frowned again.

"Well.. The Café is still open, and my mum and dad went to England because my aunt is ill, and apart from that, struggling in a sea of homework."

"Nothing interesting then?"

"No. But I did hear that Pai and Retasu were together."

"Me too. How'd you think its going?"

" Retasu has never been happier all the time I've known her. I can't think of anything else that would make her so happy…" Ichigo watched Kishu's liquid amber eyes. She did love him but.. that scared her. It really did. All those times he'd tried to make her understand. Aoyoma would leave her. She knew it now. He'd been separating himself from her for quite a while. Ichigo pulled her head back and stared at the ceiling. Which suddenly seemed very high up.

"Koneko-Chan??" Kishu's voice rang out.

"Wha?"

"Ichigo?"

"Yes?"

"You just turned into a cat, sweetheart."

Ichigo's little (big, actually) kitty eyes widened, and she stared down at herself. She was indeed a cat. She had turned into a familiar black cat with a bell on its tail. Ichigo began to hyperventilate, but paused to cock an eyebrow at the alien she now knew she loved. Kishu noticed with some difficulty (she was a CAT after all.) that Ichigo was trying to communicate with him.

"How come you can understand cat?"

"I'm an alien Ichigo."

Ichigo meowed an exaggerated 'oh' of a gasp. Kishu chuckled, and moved his head to face the ceiling, mimicking Ichigos previous action. Ichigo blushed furiously, but Kishu was at a loss. He loved her, but it was taking all his self restraint not to make a play for her. The alien inwardly screamed. He was totally, and utterly in love with her. At the very least he had a moment to think whilst kitty was exactly that- a kitty. Kishu sat up and picked up the unruly black cat, and proceeded to hug the little neko, expecting a scratch or a struggle., but none came. Instead, Ichigo folded back her ears and purred. He pulled back, with a eyebrow cocked. Ichigo had a paw over her mouth, and a blush was just visible through her fur. Her ears and tail stood sharp straight, and her eyes were hugely wide, shocked at her kitty behaviour. Kishu smirked. He loved her, and now there was a chance she felt the same, judging by her reactions.

POP!

Ichigo was back.
