He Returns

Chapter 3: The Start of a New Beginning

Ichigo walked to the end of the street. She expected Kisshu to be there, but instead, found a large drunken man. She tried to walk by quickly, but the man stepped in front of her, blocking her path.

"Where's a pretty gal like you going at this time in the morning?"

"Please move." Ichigo said with her head down.

"Why don't you come with me? We can have some fun." The drunken man grabbed her arm and she snatched it away. She started to back away but the man stepped forward. Ichigo started to run and the man followed. They ran for about a minute and then she thought of it.

"KISSHU!" she screamed.

If you want to get out alive,

Oh, run for your life.

If you want to get out alive,

Oh, run for your life.

-Get Out Alive by Three Days Grace

The alien showed up a few feet beside her and Ichigo ran right past him. Kisshu realized what was going on and he took out his two swords and shot a bright ball of light at the man. The light also hit Ichigo and she flew about ten feet and landed in the grass. The alien ran over, obviously forgetting he could teleport.

"Ichigo, are you alright. What happened?" he asked in a panic.

The girl sat up. "I'm ok. I was walking to school and then that man… tried things." She couldn't even say it.

Kisshu hugged her. She gasped quietly and just sat there.

"I'm just glad you're OK." He backed away and helped Ichigo off of the ground. "I promise you, I will always be here every morning and afternoon to protect you."

"Is he going to be OK?" Ichigo pointed to the man who was only a few feet away from them.

"Yeah. He's only knocked out. Now let's get you to school."

The two walked to Ichigo's school and she was right on time. She started to walk but suddenly stopped and turned towards the alien boy.

"Hey, Kisshu? Thank you for this morning." The boy smiled as she walked to her class.

He saved me. He was there for me. I guess I'm lucky to have him around after all. Maybe he has changed…

She thought to herself and before she knew it, she was in her last class of the day.

After an hour of algebra, she walked out of her school and, just as Kisshu promised, he was there.

"Hey." said Ichigo with a small smile. The Mew was starting to warm up to the boy.

"Hey. So you are sure you are OK?"

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. So how was your day?"

"Besides this morning, it was still boring. After I dropped you off, I walked around the outlet mall for a while and then I went to the park. So how was yours." he asked.

"My day went fine. I have a question."

"Shoot."

"Where do you stay at night? Because I know you don't go back to the ship. Right?"

"Well I normally teleport to the park and I sit in the trees until I eventually doze off."

"So you basically sleep in trees?"

Kisshu thought about that for a few moments. "Yeah I guess so." They both giggled. The two finally got about thirty yards from cafe and they stopped.

"See you in a few."

"I'll be here."

Ichigo then went to work until six in the evening and she finally walked outside.

"So how was work?" asked Kisshu.

"Well there weren't as many people today but Mint compensated for it by being twice as bitchy."

Kisshu laughed and Ichigo shared a small smile.

They arrived at her house twenty minutes later.

"Thank you again, Kisshu. For everything."

"No problem."

She walked inside and closed the door. She ate dinner by herself and went to bed. For the first time in two years, her dreams were pleasant.

The next morning, Ichigo woke up very late and she had only twenty minutes to get ready and get to school. She ran out of the house with ten minutes to get to school. Kisshu stood outside and saw she was running late.

"Ichigo!" he called as she started to run to school. "I can just teleport you there."

She ran back to him.

"Ok. Let's go." she said desperately.

They teleported outside of Ichigo's school.

"You are a life saver." She ran inside.

He stood there for a few moments and checked to see if anyone was looking, then Kisshu teleported into Ichigo's room.
