I do not own Tokyo Mew Mew.

Ok, thank you all who reviewed so far. Now, on with the story.

When Ichigo woke up the next morning, it felt as if every muscle in her body was on fire. Ichigo sighed and sat up, every fiber in her screaming with pain. "Good morning Ichigo," Kish called out cheerfully, holding some food on a plate. Looking at it, Ichigo decided that she wasn't hungry. The food looked a lot like dried dog food.

Kish tried to hand it to Ichigo, but she ignored the plate. Sighing, Kish gave it up and placed the food on the ground. He turned around and walked quickly out of the room. Ichigo got up and smelled the food, almost gagging. If it looked bad, it smelled worst. Ichigo picked up the plate and threw the food away. She set the plate by the door and thought about her situation.

Kish had to take her home and break off the marriage, that much was a given. Unfortunately, that wasn't the main problem. Ichigo hadn't made Kish release her from something else. She didn't know what, but it troubled her more then the thought of seeing him again. Every time she saw Kish now, all she felt was raw hatred for him. She didn't have anymore time to think when the door opened.

Kish came into the room with a grin on his face. But the smile disappeared when he saw the look that Ichigo gave him. "Now, there is no need for you to still be angry at me Ichigo," Kish tried to explain before Ichigo held up a hand for him to stop.

"Shut the hell up Kish. I don't care about your attempts at making me forgive you. You have a promise to keep, and I want it done soon. Then, I can go back to defending the earth against attacks from you and your damn friends." Ichigo said with bitterness, her thoughts on how she was still hurting.

Kish started to open his mouth, but reconsidered what he was going to say and closed it with an audible snap. "Well? What the hell are you waiting for?" Ichigo snapped, her anger evident in her voice.

Kish didn't say anything, instead walking over to Ichigo and teleporting them to the street in front of her house. Ichigo immediately started to walk towards her house before Kish grabbed her by the wrist and forcing her to look at him. "I'm sorry Ichigo. I truly am. If I could…" He began to say before Ichigo broke free of his grip and walked into her house before slamming the door.

Kish stood there for a few minutes before floating up into the sky. He held his position and watched as Ichigo transformed back into her human self. He often watched Ichigo get dressed, but today he averted his eyes away as her clothes disappeared. "I used to love this," Kish said with a frown, not in the mood for perverted actions. "Now, all I see is the girl who wants me to leave and never come back."

It came into his mind that the best possible way to win her back was to just go on with life, but Kish knew deep down that Ichigo would foster this hatred of him forever. It would be pointless to continue to attack the earth if all he was going to do is fight a girl who he loved yet who hated him back.

"Maybe I'll stay away from her for a little while and see if she seems to get better," Kish said to himself as he glanced back down into Ichigo's room. She was wearing pink pajamas and was sleeping on top of her bed. It was too hot out to be sleeping under the covers Kish supposed. The sky was clear of all clouds, and the temperature was quite warm.

After a few more minutes of watching Ichigo, Kish floated over to a tree to hide. He followed her for a few days, and discovered that Ichigo was still feeling bitter towards Kish. In fact, every time that someone brought up anything sounding close to Kish, she would immediately say that Kish was nothing but a bastard.

"Wow, she really does hate me," Kish said to himself as Ichigo stormed out of school. She didn't see him when he floated over her as she walked to Café Mew Mew. After a few minutes, she noticed a shadow on the ground and looked up, but Kish had teleported to behind a tree. "Close," Kish mumbled as Ichigo stomped a foot on the ground in anger before continuing her walk.

Kish waited a few minutes before walking out from behind the tree, only to be hit with something. He went flying into the air before a purple energy whip came out from a tree and wrapped around Kish's ankle. He started to reach for it when it dragged him down and into the tree. After a flurry of movement, Kish was tied up to the base of the tree.

Zakuro finally stopped tying the energy whip around Kish and stared at him with open hatred. "Hey bastard, ready to know what pain really is like?" Zakuro asked with open anger, her wolf tail slightly wagging with anticipation.

Even though Kish knew that Zakuro wanted to kill him, he still couldn't help but say in defiance, "Aw, what's wrong wolf girl? You wanted to be taken prisoner instead of Ichigo and live with me?"

A few strong punches to the mouth shut Kish up. Zakuro then moved to reveal a long stick lying on the ground behind her. "You hurt my friend bastard," Zakuro said calmly as she picked up the stick. She then began to slap Kish across the face with it, leaving deep slashes on his cheeks, neck, and forehead.

"Don't worry about those cuts, it won't kill you…yet. I want you to know the definition of pain before you die." Zakuro said as she threw salt on Kish's wounds. Kish cried out in pain as the salt touched the still bleeding gashes.

Zakuro came face to face with Kish and kissed him on the lips. "How does it feel bastard? Like the pain? Like the humiliation?" Zakuro growled as she pulled back.

Kish spat out the taste of her lips and said with a grin, "I wouldn't know…why don't you go ask Ichigo?" Kish realized his mistake a little too late as Zakuro pulled out a dagger and stabbed Kish in the left kidney. He screamed at the white hot pain.

Grabbing Kish's hair, Zakuro pulled his head to the left and cut off his right ear. "Bastard," Zakuro hissed as she wiped off the blood on his shirt and walked away, her back stiff with desire to kill Kish.

The energy whip disappeared after a few minutes, causing Kish to fall to the ground and hold the side of his head where his ear used to be. "Damn that girl," Kish mumbled weakly with anger as he teleported to his ship to have Pai re-grow his ear and kidney.

That's about it for this chapter. Please review, thanks!
