A/N: Yeah, yeah stop nagging I finally wrote another chapter. I realized that I should let people know that this story isn't dead. So in this chapter I tried to make up for it by putting a little development in Ichi and Kish's relationship. Hope you like. :)

My Kitten's Every Wish

.::Eight::.


The sound of a ringing alarm clock sounded throughout Ichigo's now-alert ears. Slowly but surely, she opened her eyes, which gave a slight scowl at the ringing digital clock.

"Baka, no…" She mumbled as she took her pillow and placed it over her head, while she buried her face in her sheets.

Ring, ring!

Kish's ears twitched as a small, perpetual ringing while he sat on the branch of the tree outside Ichigo's window. Yawning a bit, he opened one eye partially to the sun shining down upon him. He closed his eye again, only to open both of them back open and sat up fully on the branch. Kish watched as Ichigo stood up from her bed with a loud yawn. A smirk sank into his face.

Ichigo turned and began to take steps towards her door, ready to go to the bathroom, when a voice startled her.

"Morning, kitten."

She sighed heavily.

"Quiche, not now—it's too early…" She said, her voice sounding peculiarly not annoyed. "Even for a Guardian An—" A sudden smile crossed her face. She turned to Kish with a grin. He raised an eyebrow at her.

"What is it koneko-chan?"

"That's it," she stated.

"What's it?" Kish looked at her bewildered.

"I know what my third wish will be." She said, with confidence replacing her groggy, tired look. "I wish I didn't have school today."

"Okay," Kish replied.

"Well," Ichigo looked at him.

"Well what?"

"Aren't you going to like snap your fingers or something?" She asked.

"Oh, right," a sweat drop ran down the back of his head. "I'll have your third wish done in a second," he stated as he turned towards the window, about to jump out.

"Why are you leaving?" Ichigo questioned.

"Well, you see," Kish began as one leg stuck out the window. "I have to, uh… consult my… master… before I—make your wish." He smiled big.

"Your master? Guardian Angels have masters?" The thought boggled her mind a little. "Is that why you always leave before completing my wishes?"

"Uh—Yes," he grinned, trying to fit his other leg out.

"Wait—where is your master?"

"Um," Kish took his leg back in the room for a minute as he thought. "He uh—well… he… lives in that tree." He pointed to the tree right outside her window.

"Really?" she asked.

"Yes," Kish smiled, knowing he had gotten himself out of a mess.

"Where is he? Can I see him?" she asked.

Kish stood there for a moment. When did koneko-chan get so annoying? he thought. "Well… I, uh…"

"Well, I just figured since I can see you that it might be possible that I can see him too," she explained. "So, can I?"

"See, this really must be done alone." Kish stood up straight with his arms crossed and eyes closed. "It's like one of the rules of Guardian-ism."

"You've never told me that before—that was never one of the rules of wishing," She brought up.

"Look, it just is, okay?" He raised his voice a little.

"Fine, nya," Ichigo turned her back to him. Geez—I still wonder about him sometimes, she thought…

Kish climbed out of the window and flew behind the tree. Turning his head, he looked and made sure Ichigo wasn't watching from the window he had just left. He let out a sigh. Who knew Ichigo was full of so many questions, he thought, laughing a little.

"Chip cheep," a voice greeted Kish.

"Huh?" He looked up and saw the little squirrel above him on a limb. With big eyes, it stared down at him. "You again," his voice didn't seem to be full of enthusiasm. "Well since you're here I might as well tell you what I am supposed to do now…" He sighed with a slight smirk coming along his tightly-structured face. "She now wants me to make sure she doesn't have school today—have any ideas?"

The squirrel stayed quiet for a moment.

"I don't have all day, fur ball," Kish stated.

"Chip chip cheep chip," the squirrel said.

"That is possible; I hadn't thought of that." Kish placed his hand under his chin. "Or I could always make sure that there's no school to go to…" A mischievous smirk gleamed across his face. The squirrel tilted its head as it stared down at him.

"Your third wish is taken care of, Koneko-chan." Kish smiled as he stood in the middle of Ichigo's room. She had just finished brushing her hair as she turned and faced him.

"Good then, nya! No school today." She smiled.

"Well—yeah, you could definitely say that," Kish grinned…

—

"Honey, come here, look at this on the news!" Ichigo's dad yelled.

"What is it, dear?" Ichigo's mom came over and stood beside him.

Hello, this is Keira Kuruigi for Channel Six News reporting. And I am sad to report, that for many young students, there will be no school for a while. I am standing in front of the building as we speak. There are strange and colossal damages that are quite unexplainable. Half of the building has mysteriously disappeared…

"What is the world coming to, dear?" Ichigo's mom asked with a slight shake of her head.

—

"Thank you, Quiche," Ichigo smiled brightly. Kish couldn't help but smile back at her.

"Anything to make my koneko-chan happy," he replied.

"Your what?" Ichigo asked.

"Oh nothing, haha," A sweat drop snuck its way down his neck.

Ichigo sighed.

"Well, since I don't have school today, I wonder what I can do… hm," Ichigo sat there and thought for a moment. "Oh, nya, why can't I think of anything to do?" She pounded her head lightly with balled-up fists.

Kish watched her as she entertained his eyes. But he merely seemed to be more entertained by her beauty than what she was actually doing.

"I know," she stuck her first finger in the air as an idea came to mind. "I want to go shopping!" A large smile took over Ichigo's face.

"Shopping, ne?" Kish looked at her.

"Yes Quiche. Shopping, nya," Ichigo replied. "I will finished getting ready and you can come with me."

"Okay?" Kish still seemed a little unsure by her idea of shopping. And quite frankly, he still wasn't sure what the term meant.

Kish stood with his back against the tree in Ichigo's front yard as he waited for her to exit the house. Shopping? He thought. Is that a flavor of ice cream or something? NO! I got it. It's probably a brand of tampon or something. That's got to be it.

"Quiche?" Ichigo looked around as she closed the front door behind her, while she stood there fully and neatly dressed.

"Yes, kitten?" Kish smirked as he appeared in her vision, stepping aside from the tree.

"Why must you continue to refer to me as that?" She asked.

"As what koneko-chan?"

"That!"

"What, is something behind me?" He turned, and saw there was nothing, and faced Ichigo again.

"No… never mind," Ichigo looked as if she was beating herself mentally. "Let's just go."

"Go where?" he asked, still bewildered.

"Just follow me." Ichigo rolled her eyes as she continued down the sidewalk, Kish following close behind.

Then, she suddenly stopped in her footsteps. Kish nearly bumped into her from the sudden stop in motion. She turned toward him.

"People can't see you right?" She asked.

"Oh um… No—of course not, haha," he smirked.

"Okay good, I don't want people looking at me weird because I have a blue-haired elf following me." She replied and started to walk again.

"Wait—a blue-haired what?" He followed after her…

"Well, here we are." Ichigo stopped in the middle of a big strip mall down through the mid-section of Tokyo.

"Where are we exactly?" Kish asked.

"A shopping mall," she simply stated with a smile. Her smile seemed to give him a warm feeling of satisfaction. "Ooh, look at that!" Ichigo planted her face against a glass window, which contained a pink ribbon inside. It had little golden fringes around the rims that complimented the shade of pink.

"What is it, koneko-chan?" Kish stood by her as she stared in the window.

"I want it so bad," she turned to him and whined. He just stared at her like she was crazy, as well as did the people that walked by. "But I just have any money… wait! I don't need money, I have you," Ichigo said, smiling at Kish.

"Huh?"

"I want to use my fourth wish." She smiled big.

"On what?" he asked.

"I wish I had that ribbon," She pointed to the pink ribbon through the glass window.

"Okay…" He hesitated, riding off the ending of his last word. "Now turn around and cover your ears."

"Why?" she asked, looking at him peculiarly.

"Because I have to go consult my Master," he explained.

"How does that involve me covering my—?"

"Please—who's the Guardian Angel here?" Kish interrupted.

Ichigo rolled her eyes with a quick, "Fine." She then, turned around, so she was facing the street and put her hands on her ears…

Ten Minutes Later…

"Here, koneko-chan." Kish stood in front of Ichigo and smiled really big. Ichigo slowly opened her eyes. "Did I hear screaming and broken glass?" She asked.

"No, no, must be your ears," he smiled.

She then stared down at his outstretched hand, which contained the pink ribbon.

"Thank you, Quiche-chan!" Ichigo hastily wrapped her arms around his neck in a tight hug. Kish stood there, a bit shocked, while, in his mind, the hug lasted for longer than mere seconds. To him, everything else was going in slow motion…

Ichigo then released her arms from around him and took the ribbon from his hand. After a few moments of standing there, Kish shook his head and put his hand on her back, directing her to go forward.

"What are you doing?" She asked as he began to walk forward, making her do the same.

"We need to get far away from here…"

"Why?" She looked at him.

"Just go," he smirked.

Behind them was a broken display glass and a fire truck coming from down the street…

Kish and Ichigo walked further south of downtown Tokyo. Ichigo noticed a lot of that people kept staring at them as they passed by. Then a mother with a young boy holding her hand passed. The boy turned his head all the way around, staring at Kish.

"Mommy, is it Christmas?" The boy asked his mother.

"No, honey, why?" The mother asked.

"There's elves—see?" The boy pointed back at Kish, now a few feet behind them. The mother turned and looked at Kish.

"He's probably just trying on his Halloween costume, sweetie," she smiled and continued to walk with him…

Ichigo stopped upon hearing their conversation and turned to Kish.

"I thought you said people couldn't see you?" she asked.

"Well uh… I thought you were talking about something else… hehe," he laughed a bit.

"What else would I have meant Quiche?" Ichigo asked, her voice rising a little.

"I don't… know." He stared at her.

Ichigo smacked her forehead as she continued walking. Then, suddenly, something caught her eye. She stopped once more and looked up into the sky.

"What's wrong, Ichigo?" Kish asked.

"Look, Kish!" Ichigo pointed up into the sky to a pink hot air balloon high above them. He looked up. It was a hot pink air balloon traveling hundreds of feet above them.

"My fifth wish is… that I can see it up close." She smiled.

Kish gently took her hand in his.

"Don't you have to consult your master first?" she asked.

"Not this time—I don't need him for this wish." He winked at her as her feet began to lift from the ground. She looked up at him with frightened eyes. "It's okay koneko-chan, I've got you." He gripped onto her hand more tightly as they flew higher into the air. They took off upward into the sky and a smile began to form on Ichigo's face. She turned and looked at Kish's face as they headed towards the balloon. He looks so focused. At the same time he looks so…cute… Ichigo smiled. Wait! What the heck am I saying?

"There it is Ichigo-chan." Kish interrupted her thoughts. He pulled her up beside him and held her close in his arms. Ichigo peered down, seeing the pink balloon just below them. But from this far up, she seemed to now be more interested in the rest of her surroundings than the balloon. The clouds were so fluffy and white. They were so close you could touch them. And below them was all of downtown Tokyo, including the beautiful green park…

"It's so… beautiful from up here," she whispered.

"So are you, Koneko-chan…" he whispered back.

Ichigo turned around in his arms and their bodies were tightly against each other's. She stared into his golden amber eyes. The distance between their faces lessened until their noses brushed passed each other. She felt her face turn bright red. Then…

Ring, ring!

Ichigo's eyes widened as she heard her cell phone ring. She backed away from Kish a little.

"Take me back down, please," she requested.

Kish said nothing as he lowered them both back down to the ground. Gently, Ichigo's feet touched the sidewalk and she reached into her pocket and grabbed her phone.

"It's a text message from Aoyama-kun," she stated as she began to read it.

Ichigo, hey. I miss you already. Since school is out, why don't I take you to lunch?

-Masaya

"Aw," Ichigo's face lit up as she started to call him.

Stupid human, Kish thought as he tightened his fists.

"Hello?" Masaya answered.

"Hi Aoyama-kun—I got your text message." Ichigo smiled.

"Really?" You could sense his smile through his voice. "Well, what do you say then?"

"Of course," she replied.

"All right then, meet me at the Sushi Bar," he stated.

"Okay, bye."

"Bye, Momomiya-san."

Ichigo hung up the phone and turned to Kish. "He wants to meet me at the Sushi Bar," she began. "You can go back to my house and I will go when I return from there."

"Whatever," Kish said while as he flew into the air and left Ichigo standing in the middle of the sidewalk. She watched him as he nearly began leaving her field of vision. Did we almost…Ichigo touched her lips. No… no, of course not. She continued walking down the sidewalk towards her destination…
