'You are worried about her aren't you?' Taruto walked over to Kisshu.

'Why are you here?' he asked annoyed.

'I don't know.'

Kisshu groaned.

'Why do you like her so much?' Taruto sighed.

'Like who?' Kisshu asked pretending he didn't know what he was talking about.

'Stop pretending you don't know what I am talking about.'

'I am not pretending.'

'Yes you are.'

'No I am not.'

'Ichigo! Why do you like Ichigo so much?!' Taruto gave up.

'I don't like her,' Kisshu didn't look at Taruto.

'Stop lying.'

'I am not.'

'Why are you lying?'

'I am not.'

'Yes you are.'

'I am not lying.'

'What do you see in her?'

'Nothing.'

'Nothing?' Taruto repeated.

'Yes. Nothing.'

Taruto gave another sigh. Kisshu was hopeless. And the whole conversation was getting annoying and he knew Kisshu was just as much annoyed as he was. So he decided to leave Kisshu alone and do whatever he was doing, right now he was doing nothing but staring into space, but he left him to do that anyway. If it made him feel any better about the whole situation, he might as well do.

But he wasn't getting anywhere with trying to find Ichigo. No one had any idea where she was. They all tried to call her but for some reason, she wasn't answering. Now they didn't know what to do.

They tried to tell everything to Ichigo's parents yesterday. But that didn't go very well. Ichigo's parents wouldn't hear any of those 'nonsense' about aliens and Ichigo being a Mew Mew. They were worried about the fact that she went missing for over three days now but they just couldn't believe the rest of the story.

So now Lettuce and Kisshu were told to go to Ichigo's house again and have another attempt at trying to explain everything to her parents. This whole thing was starting to get really annoying. Ichigo was nowhere to be found and instead of trying to look for her they all have to talk to her parents about the issue.

Sure, they needed to know. But whose parents would believe that their daughter had been fighting aliens while they weren't looking and suddenly fell in love with one? They will never believe them!

This was getting stupid! If this carried on, they will never find Ichigo. Not that Taruto cared about her anyway. Ichigo can be gone forever or dead for all he cared, he knew Pie felt the same way too. But if that human was the only person that could make Kisshu happy then he might as well help at least. But right now, he doubted Ichigo will even make him happy. What if Kisshu gets worse by just going near her?

'Kisshu, go to Ichigo's house with the Lettuce,' Ryou ordered.

'Why do I have to go?' Kisshu complained.

'Because, you idiot, we planned that you show her parents that stupid aliens like you do exist. They won't believe you exist unless you show them the proof, which in this case, is you. Were you even listening to our plan?'

'Yes,' Kisshu lied. He wasn't listening to anything anyone was saying. He was busy daydreaming. Daydreaming about Ichigo.

'Why are you standing there? Go!' Ryou yelled.

'You better stop giving us orders like that or we won't help you look for Ichigo,' Pie growled angrily. Only because he was helping them didn't mean he thought anyone there as friends or planned to get along with them, Ryou especially. He was only doing this for Kisshu.

'Ok, ok! I'll go! Calm down!' Kisshu went out of the door with Lettuce walking with him.

'Ok, can we actually try to look for Ichigo now instead of fighting?' Zakuro asked giving a sigh. She looked at Pie and Ryou, both of them have been going on each other's nerves for the whole day.

'Yes, we might not get along with each other very well but we need to work together or we won't find Ichigo,' Mint took another sip from her cup of tea.

'Not like you have been trying anyway, what help have you been?' Taruto mumbled.

'Excuse me?' Mint asked shocked and angry, 'I have been a lot of help unlike you!'

Taruto was about to say something else but Pie soon stopped him. Zakuro calmed Mint down as well.

Meanwhile, Lettuce and Kisshu were heading towards Ichigo's house. Kisshu was still hurt about everything and he had no idea why he was looking for her. He didn't care about her. Or at least that's what he told himself anyway. He knew deep down that he still loved her but he kept telling himself that. It wasn't making him feel any better, in fact worse. But he did it anyway.

'You love Ichigo, don't you?' Lettuce asked looking down to the ground.

'I used to.'

'You still do,' Lettuce smiled.

'Why does everyone think that?'

Lettuce smiled again, 'you just make it obvious.'

Kisshu looked away, trying to hide a tear from his eye. At that moment, when he was walking with Lettuce, he realised something. Something he has been trying to deny from the beginning but it ended up being true after all. He still loved Ichigo. Everyone was right. He tried to forget her but he failed. Memories of Ichigo kept springing back. He will always love her. Always.
