CHAPTER 7!

Disclaimer: I do not own Tokyo Mew Mew.

Last time:

Ichigo sighed and threw her school bag on the floor. "Ok Kish we have the house to ourselves tonight…"

Chapter 7: two alone at home

Kish flew up and done a back flip in mid-air. "This is great! We can have so much fun!" he cheered

He threw his hat off so his alien ears sprang out. Ichigo was quite happy to see him look more like himself again.

"No Kish, I have homework to do, and so do you!"

Kisshu pouted and crossed his legs, still floating in mid-air. "But kitten… that's boring" he moaned

"I know Kish, but we have to do it, you don't want detention do you?" replied Ichigo

Kish sat on top of a high shelf in the living room.

"Kisshu! Get off of there!" yelled Ichigo

Kish jumped off and accidently knocked some books off of the shelf, he landed face first onto the sofa, moving it half way across the room and laughed.

Ichigo tried not to laugh but she couldn't help it, she ended up bursting out laughing.

"Oh come on Kish, stop acting like a 6 year old" laughed Ichigo as she bent down to pick up the books he dropped, but before she could pick one up Kish grabbed her hand.

She quickly looked away from his gold eyes before she got lost in them.

"Kitten, come on, we have the house all to ourselves, why don't we play a game" he whispered as he lifted her chin up with his thumb so she was looking at him. Ichigo looked into Kisshu's eyes, they were so amazing and bright, she absolutely adored them.

"w-what kind of game?" the cat girl asked

"Why don't we play… truth or dare?" he replied with a cheeky smirk on his face.

"H-how do you know what that is?"

Ichigo didn't expect an alien to know what truth or dare was!

"Look Ichigo, humans were playing it at your school. I know how it works" he replied- calmly

Ichigo felt nervous for some strange reason.

"My turn to ask first, Koneko-chan!" said Kisshu, "truth or dare?"

'Who knows what he'd make me do if I say dare… I better go with truth' thought Ichigo

"T-truth" stammered the red head

Kisshu thought for a few seconds when the perfect question popped into his head.

"Do you love me?"

Ichigo's heart pounded like a rocket, and a deep blush ran across her cheeks. She knew she had some feelings or him, but she would never tell him. Besides, she was already going out with Masaya…

"I- I… um, I… well…"

"It isn't a hard question Ichigo, what's you answer, Kitten?" asked Kisshu- curiously

'I have to say no! I can never, ever tell Kish that I have a little bit of feelings for him. I just have to say no…' she thought to herself

"N-no… I don't…" she whispered – looking away from him while trying to hide the blush on her face.

Kisshu's ears drooped down very slightly, and seemed to have a sad painful look in his eyes. Ichigo could tell however Kish was feeling- just by looking into his eyes.

Kisshu leaned forward towards Ichigo as her heart beat a mile a minute; she thought he was going to kiss her, so her cat ears and tail popped out. Kish smirked as he saw her fluffy cat ears appear. Instead of kissing her, he whispered something in her ear, "I will make you love me Ichigo"

Ichigo's eyes widened and her heart boomed in her chest.

"B-But Kish… I'm going out w-with Masaya"

Kish ignored her and flew up again. It felt nice to be able to fly around again, he hadn't been able to do that in ages!

Ichigo sighed, trying to get rid of the deep red blush on her cheeks. She got her homework out of her school bag, sat down at the table and looked at the maths sheet.

Kisshu's wounds were pretty much better. Sometimes they would hurt a bit if he touched them roughly but all in all, it was practically healed which only meant one thing, he'd have to go back… he knew he had to tell Ichigo about Pai and Taruto, and how he would at least have to pay them a visit. The only thing was, he injured Pai. Who knows what would happen to Kish if he went back? Pai would probably kill him there and then.

"Kitten…" said Kish, floating above her while trying to see what she was doing

"Hm?"

"We have to talk about something…"

Ichigo's eyes were still glued to her homework while she was trying to count in her head.

"That means it must be 13.005… no, that can't be right" she mumbled to herself

"ICHIGO" yelled Kish, trying to get her attention

Ichigo snapped out of homework land and instantly looked at Kisshu.

"w-what is it?" snapped Ichigo, "I can't even remember the answer now!"

Kisshu ignored her.

"It's about Taruto and Pai…" said Kish- as he pulled out a chair and sat next to her

Ichigo looked up and listened.

"I've betrayed Pai and Taruto. I injured Pai, I broke my promise with Taruto and now I'm not even helping to get earth back for our people. The thing is, I want to go back, and say sorry, I don't even care if we get earth back or not, I just want them to know that I haven't turned against them… but what's the point? They must hate me anyway, even if I go back, Pai would kill me. Literally"

Ichigo looked at Kish; she could tell he was sad, confused and troubled. She knew how he felt, and she wanted to do something about it. But what could she do? She wouldn't be able to help at all, she had no advice.

Kisshu sighed, "look, never mind. I'll think of something…"

Ichigo really did want to help Kisshu but she was clueless of what to do. "Kisshu, I don't have anything to say that would really help but… I'll think of something, when I go to bed"

Kisshu smiled kindly at her and she smiled back at him.

Ichigo never saw Kisshu smile in a kind way before; normally he would have a perverted smirk or a cheeky grin on his face.

"Ok Ichigo… let's have some fun"

Ichigo was about to say something when she remembered it was Valentine's Day tomorrow, and she had her date with Masaya! How could she forget? She rushed to her school bag and grabbed her phone out of her bag.

'12 missed calls, 5 voice messages'

Ichigo's heart pounded, she checked to see who they were from. And just as she thought, they were from Masaya…

The red head listened to the voice messages,

"Message one. Ichigo? I was wondering if we could meet in the park by the big blossom tree instead? Please call me back as soon as you hear this message."

Kish looked round to see the panicked cat girl listening to Masaya's voice.

"Message two. Ichigo Why aren't you picking up? Are you ok? I've rang about five times now! Please call me back! Our date is tomorrow! I'll call in about half an hour, ok?"

"Message three. ICHIGO! Please, please answer your phone! I'm getting seriously worried now! Are you ignoring me? Or has that weird boy that was staying at your house done something to you? PLEASE ICHIGO! YOUR MAKING ME WORRIED SICK!"

Ichigo started shaking, Masaya must be really mad now! She should never have kept her phone on silent!

"Message four. ICHIGO PLEASE PICK UP YOUR PHONE! It's been about an hour and you haven't picked up…"

"Message five. Ichigo, are you at the café? I'm going to contact Shirogane now if you don't pick up."

"No! Masaya!" cried Ichigo as she quickly tried to call him back

"What is that fool talking about?" hissed Kisshu

"Masaya is mad at me! He might break up with me! And now he's contacting Ryou! He might find out your staying at my house! This is bad!"

Ichigo's heart pounded as she called back Masaya and waited for him to pick up.

"sorry, but you don't have enough credit to make this call right now, to top up, press 1, to use a voucher press 2, to-" Ichigo hung up and put her face in her hands.

"NO CREDIT!" she screamed.

"This means, I will have to run to the café" Said Ichigo, standing up and patting her skirt, "B-but, what if I don't make it there on time!" she cried, looking like tears were about to fall down her face any minute. Kisshu didn't want to see her cry, so he got up from his seat and walked over to her.

"Ichigo…" he said softly

Ichigo looked up into Kisshu's golden eyes.

"Have you forgotten? I can teleport you know."

Ichigo's face lit up as she rubbed her chocolate brown eyes.

"W-Will you, teleport me there?"

"of course Koneko-chan!" replied Kish, "this is going to feel a bit weird for you, seen as you're a human, but… just hang on tight and don't let go"

Ichigo stepped forward next to Kish

He pulled her closer to his chest and put his arms tightly round her waist.

Suddenly, Ichigo felt a cold breeze on her arms, her hair blew everywhere and she felt like she was spinning around. Ichigo saw blue and green patterns everywhere, she closed her eyes and put her arms tightly round Kish, she was scared she would fall and get lost.

When Ichigo didn't feel a strong breeze any more she slowly opened her eyes, and there she was, a few meters away from café mew mew.

She was still looking around, when she heard Kisshu laugh; she looked up at him - still stunned at what had happened.

"You know, you can let go of me now" he said, smirking at her

Ichigo noticed she was till hugging his waist for dear life.

She blushed and quickly let go. "I didn't mean to cling onto you, ya know!" hissed the cat girl, as she fixed her hair, "Kisshu, go and hide somewhere!"

Kisshu teleported away, Ichigo had no clue where he went but she turned to face the café and slowly walked in.

"H-hello…" said Ichigo- opening the large, pink door of café mew mew. She looked up and there stood Ryou, Keiichiro, and Masaya.

Masaya had an angry, but also worried expression on his face.

"Where were you Ichigo?" he yelled, "I was so worried!"

"I- I'm sorry…" replied Ichigo, fixing her eyes to the floor.

"ICHIGO! YOU MISSED A WHOLE DAY OFF WORK! WHAT WERE YOU DOING?" screamed Ryou

"huh? W-when?" asked Ichigo

"TODAY!" he snapped

Ichigo forgot all about work! How could she?

"I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU THESE DAYS BUT YOU'RE STARTING TO ACT LIKE A TOTAL IDIOT!"

"Now, calm down Ryou" said Keiichiro, "I'll make you a nice cup of tea. Just remember, at least Ichigo is safe, that was the main thing you were worried about wasn't it?"

A slight blush ran through Ryou's cheeks.

"Masaya, Ryou, Keiichiro, I'm so sorry" said the cat girl

"Now, just get out Ichigo, remember, you better come to work next time or you'll be so dead!" hissed Ryou

Ichigo ignored them and slowly headed for the door, closing it behind her.

The wind blew her red hair around so much that it started to look almost like fire. She shivered and quietly called Kisshu's name, she felt an even stronger breeze as Kisshu teleported right in front of her.

"So? How did it go?" he asked

"W-well, they were mad, but, I guess it went alright" she replied clinging onto Kisshu as she waited for him to teleport her back into her pretty pink room again.

As soon as she felt the nice warmth of her bedroom she let go of Kish and slumped onto her pink bed, still stained with Kisshu's blood. She was already extremely tired.

"I'm exhausted Kish, I'm going to bed, ok?" sighed Ichigo, taking the hairbands out of her hair. Kish wasn't sleepy at all. Infact, he felt very awake, but seen as Ichigo was going to bed, he might as well do so too.

"Ok, me too" he said- stretching his back, "good night, Koneko-chan"

He walked out and shut the door behind him, leaving Ichigo to get dressed into her pink pyjamas. Kisshu walked into his room and fell onto the bed.

When Ichigo was fast asleep, Kisshu was still awake, he thought about Ichigo, Masaya, Pai and Taruto and the rest of the mew mews. He stared at the ceiling and purposely fell off his bed out of boredom.

'I think she's asleep now' he thought to himself, standing up from his bed. He opened the door and headed straight for Ichigo's room. He smirked, looking at the cat girl sleeping innocently in her pink bed. He crept into her room and stood beside her bed. 'She sleeps so sweetly' he thought to himself as he slowly lifted up the pink duvet and got in beside her. He could feel her breath on his face, he could smell her heavenly scent. It was perfect. Kish slowly closed his eyes and went to sleep.

About half an hour later, the two teenagers were sleeping peacefully, until Kisshu kicked Ichigo in his sleep. Ichigo wasn't a very heavy sleeper and woke up straight away, to see Kisshu sleeping there beside her.

"KISSHUUUUU!" she screamed at the top of her lungs

This gave Kish a shock and he woke up instantly, his heart pounding from the shock.

"W-w-w-what are you doing?" hissed Ichigo, who was now at the other end of the bed.

"I was cold in that bed. But this bed is really warm" he whispered, as he casually went back to sleep again.

"Idiot…" mumbled Ichigo

Kisshu rolled over so he was right next to her.

"Kisshu! Stop it! You're freezing as well!" snapped Ichigo, blushing.

"Quit moaning and get to sleep" he mumbled

"Kisshu! Your arms are freezing cold! Get out!" snapped Ichigo

"I know. That's why I came into your bed, to get warm."

"IM NOT YOUR HUMAN WATER BOTLE YA KNOW!" hissed Ichigo

"Ichigo… I feel cold and unwell" he moaned, putting on a voice that sounded like he was in pain.

Ichigo sighed

"Good night, Koneko-chan. I love you" he whispered, before closing his eyes and going to sleep.

Ichigo's heart pounded again at the words Kisshu said. "I love you"

She sat there for about 10 minutes, still looking at Kisshu- fast asleep. 'I'm so sleepy… but I can't sleep with Kisshu in my bed…' thought Ichigo, 'I'll just forget he's here..'

Ichigo sighed and lay down next to Kisshu.

About an hour later, Ichigo was still awake. She couldn't get to sleep with Kisshu in her bed!

'Why the heck am I letting him sleep in my bed?' thought Ichigo – pulling the duvet more to herself, she tossed round on her bed and looked at Kisshu. He looked so peaceful. He always looked peaceful when he was sleeping. She reached out and gently touched a strand of his hair. 'His hair is so soft… thought Ichigo.

A moment later the red head heard the door open. 'It must be my parents!' Ichigo panicked, what would happen if they saw Kish in her bed? They would both go mental and Ichigo's dad would probably explode! Her heart raced as she shook Kish to wake him up. It was no use; he would just let out a quiet moan and face the other way.

"Kisshu!" hissed Ichigo- poking his cheek

'What am I gonna do?' thought Ichigo, trying quickly to put the whole duvet over Kisshu's head so they couldn't see him.

She heard slow footsteps coming up the stairs; Ichigo's heart was beating a mile a minute! She was so dead now.

She glanced over at the door knob of her bedroom door, and saw it slowly turning…

Well, that's the end of this chapter ^_^

Are Ichigo's parents going to see Kisshu in Ichigo's bed?

What's going to happen tomorrow? It is going to be Valentine's Day after all!

STAY TUNED xD
