He Returns

Chapter 4: Home Alone

Ichigo moaned as she was coming out of a deep sleep.

"Where am I?" she asked sleepily.

"Oh, my little kitten is awake." As soon as she heard that voice, she knew she was in danger. She awoke, and found herself tied to a post. She wore her pink Mew outfit. "Time for the show!" said Kisshu.

"What's going on? Where am I? What are you doing? LET ME GO!" she yelled in anger.

"On the contraire honey, you haven't seen the entertainment yet. Up first: Mint Aizawa!"

Mint stumbled in, a little bloody and with her hands tied behind her back. Tears were streaming down her face as she fell to her knees.

"Ichigo…" she said with pleading, tear filled eyes.

"Let's get this party started." said the alien boy. "So, how would you like to die today Mint? Slice to the throat or drowned? Your choice."

The blue Mews confidence shot up tremendously. "I would like to die fighting you." she said picking up her head.

"Well… that's not one of the options so… slice to the throat it is!" Kisshu was saying these things as though he was the host of a game show, and Ichigo was the audience.

The green haired boy grabbed a knife off of the table that Ichigo hadn't noticed. He put it to Mint's neck. "Any famous last words?"

"Ichigo, tell everyone that I love them. I want to thank you for everything you have done to help me get where I am today. I'm sorry for the trouble that I have caused you." She said her final last words. Tears formed in her eyes and they fell on top of her dried ones.

"Time's up!" said Kisshu. He took the sharp butcher knife and sliced it through Mint's tiny neck. She lay on the ground with her life draining onto the floor.

"MINT!" Ichigo started to cry heavily.

"Next up: Pudding Fong!"

"NOOO!" Ichigo held her head in shame."I can't let another one of my friends die." She thought for a moment. "What do you want?"

"What was that kitten? I couldn't quite hear you."

"What do you want?" she yelled angrily.

Kisshu stepped closer to where he was only a few inches away from her face. "I want to see you suffer."

Ichigo awoke in a cold sweat. She looked around her room and finally heard her alarm clock. It read five o'clock.

That was the worst dream ever. Great, now I have to go to school. I can tell this is going to be a bad day.

Unfortunately, she was right. To start off the day, a dog chased her all the way to school, and then she forgot to do the homework assignment for her first class. She also forgot her lunch money at home and when she started walking to the café, the same dog chased her again. There was no way her day could get any worse… until she got to the café. Ichigo walked in and what she saw was horrifying.

The place was packed full. Lettuce was dropping plates all over the floor, Pudding was breathing fire on a giant ball, and Mint was sitting, drinking tea, and doing nothing.

The Mew stomped into the changing station and dressed into her uniform. Then she walked into the café from hell. Ichigo tried to change her attitude and put on a smile, but all of that ended as soon as soon as a customer asked her a question. She sighed angrily and got the customer their drink and then stormed off into the kitchen.

Ichigo put on her puppy dog eyes and walked into the kitchen.

"Hey Keiichiro? I'm not feeling well so is it ok if I leave early?"

"Yes that's fine. Feel better Ichigo." he said with a smile.

"I will. Thank you!"

Ichigo left the café and walked home. She turned into the driveway and saw that her parents weren't home yet. She also realized that the light in her room was on.

I must have left the light on. Wait… I never leave the light on! She saw a shadow pass the second story window. Someone is definitely in there.

Ichigo took the pendent out of her jacket pocket and unlocked the door to her house. She slowly and quietly walked up the stairs to her room and then opened her bedroom door softly. She saw someone sitting at her desk, reading.
