Chapter 9: The fight for love

It was sunny and warm the next day, it was pretty unusual for February.

The sound of Ichigo's alarm clock went off and she was the first to hear it. She opened her eyes slowly and yawned, looking down at the two aliens sleeping on her bed. Kisshu's head was on Ichigo's chest and Taruto was lying next to Kish with one leg hanging out of the bed. The red head smiled and poked them both. "Time to get up" she said, Shaking both of them gently. Taruto woke up straight away.

"Morning…" he said- rubbing his eyes

"How did you sleep?" she asked while stretching her arms and back

"Fine" Taruto mumbled

"Kisshu, time to get up" said Ichigo- shaking him again

He didn't budge, he kept his eyes closed and didn't bother to get up. "He's always like this" said Taruto, as he slapped Kish to wake him up, "he's so lazy in the morning, he often stays in bed till one in the afternoon…"

Ichigo laughed and continued to shake Kish. She looked at the time, 'why am I always so late?' she thought to herself' If Kish didn't wake up she would be late for school again!

"Kisshu if you don't wake up, were going to be late for school!" she hissed

"I have an idea, just pour cold water on his face and he'll get up. It works every time" giggled Taruto

"That's a bit mean" laughed Ichigo, "maybe I could just push him off of the bed, and he might wake up"

The red head stretched her arms and with all her mite, she pushed him off of her bed and he landed on the floor with a massive bump! Taruto chuckled and Kisshu opened his eyes, "hey!" he mumbled- his eyes half closed, Ichigo dragged him by the collar, "Kish wake up! We're going to be late! Taruto, make sure you keep yourself hidden from my parents, they both go to work at 9:00" she said, as she dragged Kish along the floor and out of her bedroom. The cat girl got Masaya's hat and put it on Kisshu.

Taruto looked at Kish with astonishment, "Kisshu! You look like a human!"

Kisshu yawned and slowly stood up, "I'm tired Ichigo…"

"Me too, but we have school, and we can't just skip it, good bye Taruto, we'll see you later, and remember to keep yourself hidden"

Taruto grinned and nodded, closing the door behind Ichigo and Kisshu

They both walked downstairs and into the kitchen.

"Morning mum" said Ichigo

"Good morning Ichigo and good morning Kish!" she replied, spreading some strawberry jam on two pieces of toast, she looked at Kisshu who's golden eyes were half closed and his hair was still scruffy. Ichigo's mum laughed, "He is a sleepy head isn't he?"

Ichigo giggled and nodded her head, taking the toast from the table and shoving it in her mouth. Kish slowly reached out and took a bite from the piece of toast, "thanks for the food…" he mumbled, rubbing his eyes.

Ichigo picked up her phone and her school bag, her phone said '1 new message – Masaya'

"Masaya…" mumbled Ichigo- her heart breaking as she remembered the angry look on his face from when she missed their date. She slowly pressed open and read the message from Masaya,

Hi Ichigo,

Don't worry, I'm not mad at u or anything, I was just worried. Even though u couldn't make it to our date, it is Valentine's Day tomorrow, so we could meet at the park after school if u want? Masaya x x x

Fireworks exploded in Ichigo's head, 'Masaya is so sweet' she thought to herself, She smiled and giggled, taking Kish's hand and walking out of the door, "Good bye mum!"

Ichigo hummed a happy tune and skipped along the path to school, Kish stared at her, confused a why she was so suddenly happy. They walked the whole way to school, Ichigo humming wedding tunes and Kish examining her.

When they arrived at Ichigo's big, modern school, Kish stood there, like he always did. Ichigo skipped away when she saw Masaya, a chill shivered down Kisshu's spine. He couldn't hear what they were saying because they were far away, but all he could see was Masaya and Ichigo smiling at each other and Ichigo hugging him tightly. Kisshu sighed when a pretty blonde girl came up to him. Her hair was bright and beautiful; her eyes were bright blue, the colour of a clear blue sky

"Hello" she said smiling at him while fiddling with the end of her silky hair

Kisshu stared at her and replied, "Hi?"

She blushed as she looked up at him, "Y-you're really cute" she said

Kisshu looked at her, with a what-the-hell-do-you-want expression on his face.

Ichigo glanced over from her beloved boyfriend to see where Kisshu was, and he was standing next to the "prettiest" girl at school. All the boys fall for her, she once even went out with Masaya before they broke up. Ichigo felt butterflies in her stomach, why on earth was she talking to Kish? What would happen if he fell in love with her? She started to feel sick and nervous, but why? She should be happy that Kish found another girl, she never returned her love to him, and she always told Kish to get lost, so why would she care if he found someone else to love?

The red head walked away from her boyfriend, giving a quick hug. She walked closer to them, secretly spying and ease- dropping on them.

"I know we've only just met but, my name's Yuki. And what I wanted to ask was, would you go out with me?"

Kisshu stood there, not saying a word. Ichigo's teeth clenched together as she walked over to Kish, grabbing his arm. "Excuse us Yuki, but we must go"

Yuki glared at Ichigo, "I was just in the middle of an important conversation with my… BOYFRIEND" hissed the blonde girl- pulling Kisshu into her

The cat girl clenched her fists and pulled Kisshu away, "He doesn't like you! So leave him alone!"

Why would you care? You're already going out with Masaya! It's almost as if you love Kish instead!" snapped Yuki

Ichigo blushed a bright shade of red; she walked away, pulling Kish behind her. Kisshu smirked and chuckled. Ichigo looked round at Kish "just so you know, I don't like you ok? I love Masaya." She said, lying.

Ichigo walked away, making sure Yuki was nowhere to be seen. She walked back over to Masaya. "Sorry about that, would you like to go to the fair today? I hear it's really good" smiled Ichigo, looking up at her boyfriend. Masaya smiled back and nodded his head. "Happy Valentine's Day, my Princess" He leaned forward slowly and gave Ichigo a loving kiss on the lips. Ichigo blushed a bright shade of red. Little did she know, Kisshu was looking at them the whole time.

Kisshu's heart sank down to the bottom of his stomach, he fell down to his knees, cursing Masaya's name. 'Me and Ichigo were getting so close as well' he thought, "Curse that damn Masaya! It's his fault I feel this pain, it's his fault Ichigo doesn't love me… IT'S ALL HIS FAULT"

Masaya and Ichigo were talking for a while until the bell rang, "sorry Ichigo, I got to go, I can't be late for maths!" he said, Ichigo smiled at him, 'Masaya cares so much about school and work, I really wish I could be like him' thought Ichigo

Masaya walked into the school building until someone came and stood right in front of him. It was Kisshu. Masaya glared at the alien, knowing deep down that Ichigo loved him. "What do you want?" he said, firmly but calmly. Kisshu was silent; he walked around Masaya slowly, examining him from head to toe. "Why does she love you?" he snapped, "Who would ever love a weak, ugly person like you?"

Masaya tensed up, still glaring at him. "Who are you? Why are you staying at Ichigo's house?" Kisshu laughed and kept silent. "Do you know how much pain I have been through because of you?" Masaya looked at Kish, confused at what he was talking about. They only met a few times before, right?

"You're the whole reason me and Ichigo can't be together!" he hissed

"I-I don't know what you're talking about" stammered Masaya

Kish put up both of his hands, his two dragon swords appeared from thin air. Kish clutched onto them, "this time… you'll be the one to feel pain!" he hissed.

Kisshu charged up to Masaya- holding his dragon swords right out in front of him. Ichigo turned round to look for Kisshu when she saw what was happening. "KISSHU STOP!" she screamed at the top of her voice. Kisshu ignored her and charged straight towards Masaya, when a bright blue light stopped him, throwing him back onto Ichigo. They both stared at Masaya, who was in the middle of a bright light, what was happening? He stood up.

He was no longer the tanned skinned, black haired boy anymore; instead he had blue eyes, long blonde hair and blue clothes. He was the blue knight…

Ichigo's jaw dropped as her eyes widened. No way could Masaya be blue knight! Kisshu got off of Ichigo and growled, 'it was him all along!' he charged towards the blue knight when he stopped him with his big blue sword. "If you think you're going to get Ichigo, think again!" yelled Masaya, he flung Kisshu away and he hit a tree trunk. Blue knight walked up to him again, "For giving Ichigo so much trouble… I'll make you pay!" he hissed, holding the sword near Kisshu's head. Kish looked up at the blue knight, "Kill me then!" he snapped – shutting his eyes while waiting for the sword to go through him and kill him on the spot. Masaya raised the sword, it was just a few centimetres away from killing Kish when he heard Ichigo's scream.

"STOP!" she shrieked, pushing blue knight over. "I-Ichigo?" said Kisshu

"Stop it both of you!" she cried, "Why? Why do you have to fight?" a tear rolled down her rosy cheek. Kisshu's heart stopped as he saw her shining tear roll off of her beautiful face. "Ichigo… I-I'm sorry" he said, as he remembered when Ichigo told him to keep a promise that he'd never fight anyone at school. Scratches and bruises covered Kisshu's body. He slowly got up. Ichigo wiped a tear away and sniffed as Kish walked towards her and hugged her tightly, stroking her hair like a kitten.

"I know you probably hate me even more now but… don't cry" he whispered in her ear. Ichigo sniffed again and shook her head. "K-Kisshu… I made a promise to myself that I'd try and see things from your point of view instead of blaming you for everything… But Kisshu, you don't have to go crazy if you're angry or jealous… the best thing to do is talk to someone."

Kish looked down at the red haired girl, shocked that she didn't go mental.

"But Kish, I'm still angry at you for trying to hurt Masaya"

Kisshu nodded his head.

"Masaya, I'm a-also angry at you b-because you tried to kill Kisshu…" she said

Masaya rubbed his head and sighed, "Ichigo… I'm sorry" he said, "I'm really late now, I gotta hurry to maths"

Ichigo stared at him, he just had a big fight and now he's just heading off to class without saying a word about it?

Ichigo and Kisshu followed behind in silence...

When they arrived outside their classroom, Ichigo knocked on the door, they were 25 minutes late, she didn't know how she could explain this time…

A tall, red haired, blue eyed teacher opened the door; she looked very young and was very pretty.

She sighed as she saw Ichigo standing there, Late once again.

"Ichigo Momomiya, I'm not sure how many times you have been late for class… I think you have the record for the most lates in the school"

Ichigo lowered her head, "I'm sorry"

The teacher looked at Kish, "Oh hello, are you new?" she asked

"Yeah." He said

"Yes Miss." She corrected him

The teacher gestured a hand single for both of them to sit near the back.

At Ichigo's house

"I'm so bored" thought the little alien, looking out of the window. That's all he done since Ichigo and Kisshu left the house. He sighed, gazing at the pink blossoms on the tree's outside Ichigo's window.

"come on Heicha!" said a familiar voice from outside.

Taruto stuck his head out more. It was Pudding and her little sister!

Taruto's heart pounded. "W-w-what is she doing here?" he said, spying on the yellow monkey girl who was now jumping along the path.

Her little sister, Heicha was busy eating a big bar of chocolate.

"Hey! It's Ichigo onee-chan's house!" she said, giggling and looking up.

She glanced at Taruto and he ducked out of sight but it was too late.

"TARU TARU!" she screamed, jumping up and waving her arms in the air.

'I'm so dead now!' thought Taruto, poking his head up again. "TARU TARU! WHY ARE YOU IN ICHIGO ONEE-CHAN'S HOUSE?" she yelled. Taruto disappeared and teleported behind pudding, covering her mouth.

"Sssh! Be quiet!" he hissed

Pudding looked round and gave him the tightest hug ever. Taruto blushed and pushed her away. "S-stop it!" he snapped. Pudding giggled and bounced around. "Pudding's got some more candy from the store! Pudding has strawberry laces, candy drops, gummy bears, heart shaped chocolate, bubble gum, gummy sugar balls, pocky-"

"Ok! Ok!" said Taruto, he blushed as he remembered the time when pudding gave him candy and he kept it on his bed side table.

"Taru- Taru, you can have this!" she said, handing him a heart shaped piece of chocolate. Taruto snatched it off of her, pretending he didn't care.

"Wait a minute!" said Pudding, "If Taru- Taru was in Ichigo's house that means you were being naughty! And even though you're my friend, I still have to punish you for doing bad things!" Pudding banged her fist on Taruto's head.

"HEY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" he shouted, sticking his tongue out and rubbing his head, "Ichigo told me to stay in her house, she's looking after me and Kisshu!" he quickly covered his mouth, he forgot her wasn't meant to tell anyone!

Pudding's jaw dropped, "If Ichigo onee-chan is letting you in her house that means you must be a good guy now!" She hugged Taruto tightly and he rolled his eyes.

"Pudding, don't tell anyone about this, ok? You can't tell anyone except Ichigo" he whispered

Pudding thought for a bit and then nodded her head. "I will keep it a secret, because you're my friend!"

Taruto blushed again and flew up, "Whatever, I'm going, and remember, don't tell anyone about this" Pudding smiled and nodded her head. "Bye Bye Taru Taru!"

"I told you not to call me that!" he snapped, but before she could say anything, he teleported away.

At school

The maths lesson seemed to last hours to Kisshu, he found it drop dead boring. All he done was copy Ichigo's work, flirt with her, have random girls talk to him and get in trouble.

"Kitten?"

Ichigo looked at him, "Don't call me that!" she whispered, angrily

"Are you mad at me, you seem quiet" Said Kisshu, Not caring that the whole class was silent and he was the only one talking loudly.

"Kisshu, I'm being quiet because I'm in a lesson" she whispered

A few girls were glaring at Ichigo, they thought she was lucky that Kish was talking to her.

"I know, but I'm bored Kitty cat" he said

Ichigo blushed, Kish called her "Kitty Cat" in front of the whole class, she was sure she heard a few people giggle.

"Kish, If you cannot keep silent, I'm afraid I'm going to have to send you out again" said the teacher

Kisshu got sent out about 4 times in one lesson...

After a long day, it was finally time to go home, Ichigo was relieved, it was all Kisshu's fault that everyone had started to call her Kitten.

They both walked down the street, leading to Ichigo's house. And of course, Kish was being stalked by a bunch of crazy girls. Nothing made Ichigo angrier than them weird girls that had crushes on Kish. 'Why don't they get a life and stop stalking him? Kisshu is mine! Wait, no… what am I saying?' thought Ichigo, blushing. She remembered her date with Masaya tonight after school, but for some reason, she wasn't excited at all…

Sorry if this chapter sucks

I'll make it up to you!
