Disclaimer: I don't own TMM because if I did Masaya would mysteriously disappear and Kish would have Ichigo. .
So in the last chapter, I decided to make it into a crossover. Please tell me what you think about this, comments, suggestions. Anything. Oh, and forgive me ahead of time for any little bashing on Kish's and Ichigo's ditsyness. R&R.
Chapter 7 – Lots of Talking
Ichigo stared at her friend in horror. What had come over her? Her eyes were glowing white, and she knew that wasn't part of her Mew DNA. Right? 'Oh, this is bad. Where's Shirogane when you need him? Serena looks about ready to kill me!'
Serena leaned forward, eyes intent on her prey. One more step…
She ungracefully lunged, her inner beast yearning for this human's blood. Growling as it vanished, she sniffed the air, and smelled an intruder.
Ichigo screeched as Serena lunged and the earth fell away. Glancing up at her savior, she was shocked to see Kish, his face for once serious and not flirtatious.
"Kish, what's going on!?! Kish?"
Kish stared at Serena. How had things gotten out of hand? Already, Pai had evacuated the premises, so that was all right. But what to do with this, this thing in front of him? Remembering he still held a squirming girl in his arms, he looked down at Ichigo.
"I don't know kitten. Something like this wasn't supposed to happen."
"That's right! What was supposed to happen? Why did you do this to us?"
Kish sweat dropped. "What was I trying to do with this?" Ichigo stared at him. Kish wasn't that stupid. Was he? (A/N: I blanked. Ahaha. So sue me.)
Serena watched in confusion as the two creatures in front of her conversed. Why weren't they attacking her? Obviously, this was a battlefield. She remembered the green haired one. He smelled like the green swirly monster that had brought her here. But already she was beginning to calm down, after she realized no one here wanted to hurt her, or the human girl, whom she identified as her property.
Pai floated down to meet Kish and the confused Mews. It was obvious what they had to do. He just didn't see why Kish hadn't figured it out yet. It was so simple. Then again, it was Kish….
"Kish, it's obvious that you need to transport the Mews back to Earth. I have no clue as to why you started this in the first place, other than to see your human, but they need to go. Now."
Ichigo protested. "You guys made Serena act like this! We can't have her on Earth until she's normal again, or she might hurt someone, or get hurt herself!"
"What do you suggest human? How about we just give you to her, since you seem to be what she wants."
"Guys."
"Hey, just because you're the evil alien prick with the big ego, doesn't mean you can treat me like that!"
"Guyys."
"Kish, just drop the annoying human."
"No way! Just because you gave up on the wolf Pai , doesn't mean I have to give up on my kitten!"
"GUYS!!!!"
Everyone turned to see Serena staring at them in exasperation, her arms crossed. "You three are impossible."
"Serena!" Ichigo jumped down, throwing herself heedlessly into her friend's arms. Serena returned the embrace.
"Hey, I'm really sorry about what happened. I'll explain everything after we get back home. Which we will be going back to soon, right boys?" Narrowing her eyes, she glared at the two fidgeting aliens. Neither one wanted to see Serena the way she was just a moment ago.
Kish nodded. "Yeah, but you're explaining it to me too."
"No way."
Ichigo looked at Serena pleadingly. The tiger sighed. 'I guess I have caused enough trouble for one day.'
"Fine. But take us home now."
Kish opened the portal, and motioned for the girls to walk in. Before they moved though, a shy voice asked them a question.
"Could you say hi to Pudding for me?"
Ichigo smiled kindly. "Of course I could Tart. I'm pretty sure she'd be happy to hear from you."
"All right girls, you wanted to get going right? So go." Ichigo stuck her tongue out at Kish, who just smirked, probably thinking something perverted, as he was famous for doing.
The portal wasn't as strange as last time, since they knew they were going home, but the two Mew girls kept a watchful eye out on the perverted alien that had accompanied them. The area around them began to grow lighter, and the worried faces of the other four Mews were becoming visible.
"Ichigo! You're back! Where were you? Why is Kish with you? And you never explained who the new girl was." While Ichigo was answering the questions, Serena decided to have a talk with the alien.
"So, your name is Kish?"
Kish eyed her. She was interested in him? "Yeah. I was one of the aliens who tried to take over Earth a few years ago."
"Oh. Ummm, sorry about what happened back there. I hope I didn't…well…kill anyone." Kish raised an eyebrow at this remark. She was obviously a fighter, why would she care if she killed anyone? His attention drawn back to Ichigo who was making her way over to them the fact that she shouldn't have pointed ears in her de-transformed state slipped his mind.
"Serena, the girls are going back to the café, but you said you were going to explain, the um, incident, so I thought we could take a walk?"
"Did you…you know." Serena pretended to hiss and flexed her claws. (Another thing Kish overlooked. Man, these guys have got to be more observant!)
"No, I didn't. I thought you'd prefer to keep it private."
"Thanks. It's not often I lose control, but when I do, I don't like people knowing about it. So, where shall we walk?"
Ichigo remembered that there was a forest that would make for a good private walk, and it's not like they couldn't protect themselves if it came to it. But all she could remember was it was near a shrine.
Kish and Ichigo were panting by the time they had finished climbing the hill. Kish had refrained from flying to keep himself inconspicuous. He was different looking enough already, without him floating around like a ghost.
"Just…pant…near…pant...a shrine, huh?" Kish moaned, unused to walking. Ichigo giggled, while Serena smirked.
So far, they had been walking for quite some time, and still couldn't find it. Now they were nearing a small café where they thought they could rest for a minute.
"Why don't we get some water and ask for directions?" Serena suggested.
Kish thought. "Do we even know the name of it?" Ichigo grimaced as they sat down at the nearest table.
"I think the name of the shrine was Higushi? Higashi? Hirashi? Arghhh, I can't remember!" She flinched under the gaze of her companions.
From a near by table, a certain raven haired girl couldn't help but overhear their conversation. She got up and made her way to their table.
"Excuse me." The three teens looked up at her. One stare confused, one appraising, and one with shock on her face. "I couldn't help but overhear your conversation and wonder if the shrine you are looking for isn't the Higurashi shrine?"
"Yeah, that's the one!" Ichigo exclaimed. "Can you take us there?"
The girl thought for a second, and Serena saw a flash of worry cross her face, but it was soon replaced with her kind smile. "Of course I could take you there. I actually live there, since it's my family's shrine. My name is Kagome Higurashi."
Hey guys, Silver Mew here. Did I spell Kagome's last name right? I hope you like it so far. Writers block is evil. Very, very evil. Don't forget to review. It's just a button away. It's waiting….see the button? It wants you…
Alright, enough with the weirdness, and on with the story!
