"Wanna go upstairs?"

"...N...NYA?!" Ichigo fell back, tripping over her feet as she went. Two furry black ears protruded from her head. "Wh-What's that supposed to mean?! You can't mean what I think you mean! I'M BARELY FIFTEEN YEARS OLD!!" She yelled waving her arms around frantically.

Ryou was leaning over. Clenching and unclentching his fists. Ichigo stared wide-eyed, curious as to what his reaction would be. His shoulders were shaking slightly and blonde bangs covered his eyes.

"R-Ryou..."

"Pfft! AHAHA!!" He looked up and Ichigo jumped slightly. Ryou clutched his stomach laughing. "Yeah right! And you call me perverted!"

"RYOU!!" Ichigo growled and her face turned bright red.She jumped back to her feet and stood angrily in front of him. "Don't imply things like that!"

"I...I wasn't implying anything. I asked a simple question." he said as his laughter died down, but he still smiled brightly at her. Making her blush some more.

They had been going out for about four months now and during that time Ichigo had seen a great change in Ryou. He was much more open with her and everyone else. She knew had it been a year ago he would've never laughed like that in front of her. And her heart beat faster everytime she saw him smile like this. A genuine smile, and not his usual smirk.

"Hey...I know I'm handsome and everything, but there's no need to stare." And once again the smirk took over.

"JERK!! I can't believe I even thought that...even if you were insinuaiting it..." she trailed off trying to fold her cat ears down.

"You were thinking it..." he challenged. His smirked widened slightly and he tilted her chin up. "But you know if you want me all you have to do is ask."

"Ah..."

POOF!

"Really. You're too much." He chuckled at picked up the small black kitten that now lay at his feet. She flicked her tail impatiently, waiting for him to change her back. "Your less of a hazard this way, you know. Maybe I'll keep you like this for awhile."

"Oh, just hurry up and kiss me already!" she mewed, narrowing her eyes slightly.

"Well somebody's being bold today." he carried her in his arms up the stairs, calling out behind him. "KAKO!! We're going up!" He stopped waiting for a response. Then again it all depended on Kako's mood. "Kako!" he tried again.

"Maybe she went for a walk." Ichigo suggested, settling down in his arms since it looked like he wouldn't be changing her back anytime soon. That...and it was kind of comfortable.

"Maybe...Wait." he listened closely. "Did you hear something?" Ichigo listened too, hearing an unmistakable mew of a distressed cat.

"Kako?!"

"HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!" A voiced called followed my a terrified kitten. Kako came in, seemingly out of nowhere, sprinting towards Ryou and Ichigo. Ichigo jumped down from his arms to try and block her.

"What's wrong?!"

"He's gonna get me!!" She yelled running past Ichigo and hiding behind Ryou who, by this time, had come back down the steps.

"Who?"

"CUTIE!! Where'd ya go!" A familiar, yet disgusting voice called, also followed by a familiar, yet disgusting cat.

"Oh God no..." Ichigo shivered as her eyes widened in fear. Please don't be him! ANYONE BUT HIM!!

"Your Francis wants a kissy!" A large orange cat came running towards them all. Ryou sweatdropped. You've gotta be kidding me...

"Ryou! Get him!" Ichigo yelping jumping behind him as well. Painful flashbacks entered her mind, making her fur stand on end.

"I've found you Cutie!" he panted ignoring Ryou and winking at Kako who was peering from behing one of Ryou's legs. "Oh!" Out of the corner of his eye Ichigo's black tail came into view. "I've found you too Honey! Long time no see! We never did get to go on our date."

He dove for both, but was leaning more in Ichigo's direction when Ryou decided it was time to intervene. He scooped up both of his kittens who were clinging too him in fear. "Sorry. These are mine."

"Hey!" Francis attached himself to Ryou's leg. "Give them back! They both owe me a kiss!" he hissed angrily. Ryou merely shook him off and went to the front door, holding it open.

"Out."

"No." He shook out his fur and glared at Ryou, while also staring hungrily at the poor, defenseless kittens in his arms. Kako huffed.

God he's creepy! But we gotta get him outta here somehow...I know! She whispered something to Ichigo and she nodded. "Fine!" she mewed, jumping out of the blonde's arms. "You want me, come and get me!" she yelled running outside and stopping just beyond the doorway.

Needless to say, Francis immediately went after her, also going outside.

"Ryou! The door!" Ichigo mewed and he nodded, slamming it shut. Ichigo nodded to herself and went over to the open window and jumped up on the ledge. This must be how he got in the first time. As planned she peered out and saw Kako coming towards her with Francis trying to keep up.

"Now!" Kako commanded and Ichigo nodded. Kako jumped inside and using all her kitty strength, Ichigo closed the window just as their stalker jumped. Causing him to slam against the glass harshly.

"YEAH!!" Kako and Ichigo cheered and started to make faces at the poor misguided Francis(HA!).

"Alright, alright." Ryou smirked, picking them up again. "That's enough excitement for tonight. All kittens must be in bed by 11pm."

"Hmph..." Ichigo huffed, adjusting the ribbon on her neck. Pretty hard when you don't have aposable thumbs. "Kako!" she piped, turning her attention to her pet. "How on Earth did that monster find you too?!"

"I'm not even sure! I was coming back from my walk and all of a sudden I felt something breathing down my neck, and there he was!" Kako explained, shuddering slightly at the memory. Ichigo stuck out her tongue in disgust. Ryou didn't seem to care much either way.

He carried them both up to his room, placing them on the bed to continue their conversation.

"I'm going to go take a bath. No peeking." he said casting Ichigo a suspicious glance.

"L-Like I'd ever!"

"Heh. Who said I was talking to you?" He smirked knowing he had her. She blinked. "You and your perverted mind. I'll be out in a minute. Don't get any ideas." he said closing the door behind him.

"Ah...ARGH!! He can't go a day without messing with me!" She hissed into his pillow while Kako watched with a semi-amused expression. It was like a comedy show with these two for everyone but them. "And he STILL hasn't changed me back!"

"Ah...well I've had enough 'fun' for today. Night." Kako yawned and curled herself up at the edge of the bed. Ichigo watched silently then decided to follow suit. It's not like she had anything better to do.

"Ichigo?" Ryou re-entered to fing Ichigo and Kako both asleep at the edge of his bed. He smiled. She really does make an adorable kitten. He gently picked her up and brought her to his face, kissing her. In a matter of seconds she had transformed and remained asleep in his arms.(CUTE! Gomen. Had to say that.)

She stirred slightly as he placed her in bed next to him. He pulled up the covers around them and tucked an arm around her waist.

"Goodnight, Ichi." he whispered while kissing her lightly on the cheek. She smiled in her sleep.

Heh...She's going to freak out in the morning...Again.

Cuxie: O.o I have NO clue where this chapter came from. Somewhere in the recesses of my mind...

Ryou: It's kinda cute...even if I am a little OOC.

Cuxie: Agreed! REVIEW MINNA-SAN!!
