Thank you if you have read my other story called 'Stars In The Night Sky'. A special thank you to kisshuismylife for being the first person to review the story. Anyway, here is chapter 8. Enjoy.

'Why do you keep bringing me these roses?' Ichigo asked.

'Because they remind me of you and they are pretty, just like you,' Kisshu replied.

'That's so sweet!' Ichigo smiled.

'So…What were you doing?' Kisshu asked trying to start a conversation.

'Oh I just went out with the rest of my friends and I came back home just now,' Ichigo answered, 'so, is there a specific reason for you coming here or did you just come here to visit me?'

'Both.'

'What's the reason then?'

'I was bored.'

Ichigo laughed. That was probably the best reason the alien will ever give.

'Can I ask you a question?' Ichigo asked.

'You just did.'

'I will take that as a yes,' so Ichigo took Kisshu's hand and made him sit down in her bed. Ichigo sat down with him.

'Question number one: Where are you living?'

'I thought you just asked if you could ask me a question and not a thousand,' Kisshu mumbled.

'That isn't answering my question.'

'How many questions are there?'

'That doesn't answer my question either.'

'Why do you love questions so much?'

'I don't.'

'It shows that you have an inquisitive mind.'

'And that's meant to be a bad thing?' Ichigo raised one of her eyebrows.

'It shows that you are curious.'

'What's wrong with being curious?'

'Ever heard of the phrase 'curiosity killed the cat'?

Ichigo groaned. Kisshu always found a way of changing the subject without her even realising and that can be very annoying sometimes.

'It's not like you are going to kill me anyway,' Ichigo muttered.

'We are living in a house,' Kisshu finally decided to answer her question after giving a sigh.

'In a house?' Ichigo repeated.

'Yeah.'

'Wait, on Earth?' Ichigo tried to make sense of what Kisshu was saying.

'Well no Ichigo, it's on Jupiter!' Kisshu said sarcastically, 'where else would it be?'

'But…How?'

'What do you mean how?'

'How did you manage to get a house on Earth?'

'We came here and we just rented a house.'

That wasn't making any sense to Ichigo. He was an alien. People nearby would soon notice that there was an alien living in that house. What if he gets caught? What will happen to Pie, Taruto and Kisshu once people find out that they aren't humans but some aliens who once tried to kill every single human existing on Earth?

'Don't worry. We have our own way of disguising ourselves so no one will find out who we really are,' he said calmly reading Ichigo's thoughts.

'Disguise yourself?' This was getting more confusing for Ichigo.

'Wear a hat then the ears are done with and wear sunglasses and the eye problem is solved,' he explained.

Ichigo stared at Kisshu for a moment, she blinked a few times, made sense on what Kisshu said one more time and started laughing he head off making Kisshu confused. A few seconds later she stopped laughing just to see Kisshu's confused expression on his face. He didn't say anything, he just gave Ichigo a questioning look hoping she would tell him what was so funny. But Ichigo didn't. Instead, she started laughing again.

'Ok, what exactly did I say that was so funny?' Kisshu had enough of her laughing all of a sudden. It was making her look like a weirdo and that itself was making him want to laugh too. But then the whole situation would just look awkward and meaningless and then he would have to explain why he was laughing and they might start a useless argument if he says that she was looking weird. He needs to know what she was laughing at since it was clear that she was laughing at him.

'I never knew you were so stupid,' Ichigo was still laughing, 'you seriously think that's going to work?'

'Do you think it won't?'

'Kisshu, your ears are massive, there is no way it will cover up if you wear some stupid hat. And that means you have to wear a hat and sunglasses every time you go outside, even when it's cold, it's going to make you look stupid. And what are you going to do about your fangs? How will you hide them? And what if your hat falls off and your ears are seen. What are you going to do then? There are so many things that could go wrong with this.' Ichigo calmed down a little but she looked like she might start laughing again.

'If people do see us then we will just teleport away. It's no big deal.'

'That will cause too much hassle, especially if you are in a place with lots of people and everyone sees you,' Ichigo sighed, 'and that's not all. Number one, you are going to look hilarious. Number two, you are going to look hilarious and number three, did I mention that you are going to look hilarious?'

'Ok that's enough now stop making fun of me.'

'I wasn't making fun of you,' Ichigo stopped laughing.

'Listen, I need to go now,' Kisshu said.

'What, already?' Ichigo asked surprised.

Kisshu gave a nod and before Ichigo could say anything else he teleported away. Ichigo hoped that Kisshu wasn't mad at her. But he didn't even say goodbye, now she wished she hadn't laughed at him so much.

When Kisshu left Ichigo's laughter was replaced with a moment of regret. Maybe he was mad at her for laughing at him. But she wasn't laughing at him, she was laughing at his plan. She didn't mean to hurt his feelings. Ichigo sighed thinking at what all of her friends had said. Maybe she does need a boyfriend, someone who can make her happy. She just wasn't sure if that person could be Kisshu. Besides, he might not like her anymore since he asked her to be his friend. And even if he did, they couldn't be together, Kisshu had to go back to his planet. But the moment Kisshu was gone, Ichigo realised her heart was beating fast again.

Ichigo laid down in her bed and sighed. She realised she has been sighing a lot lately. Kisshu was a good friend. He made her happy and she liked his company when she felt lonely. But she was having strange feelings towards him. She didn't know what it was. She remembered when she first saw Kisshu in her room and her heart was beating fast. The moment he came she started smiling. He made her happy when she was feeling tired and depressed.

Ichigo felt like she was in a big mess. She can't figure out what it was. Why she was having strange feelings. She can't stop thinking about Kisshu. She has been worried about him more and missed him a lot.

'It's probably because I haven't seen him for a long time so I miss him,' she thought, 'Yeah, that's definitely the reason. It has to be. I just missed him, that's all. But what is it isn't? What is it's something else. What else could it be? '

After hours of thinking, Ichigo gasped in realisation.

'No, it can't be,' she thought, 'Why? It doesn't make sense. It couldn't be that, could it?'

Ichigo realised that she liked Kisshu, but not as a friend. She realised she liked him. A lot. No matter how stupid and cofusing this was to her, she realised that she has fallen in love with him. Ichigo took the rose Kisshu gave her. She stared at its beautiful red petals.

'Kisshu,' Ichigo whispered, 'why are you doing this to me?'

Ok, I know that 'Ichigo's moment of realisation' was pretty short and I don't know if it looked kind if rushed (sorry if it did). I need to put Pie and Taruto in the story too because so far its just Ichigo and Kisshu. Anyway, I hope you liked it. Please keep reading!
