'So you think he is the one who kidnapped her?' Pie asked raising one of his eyebrows questioningly.
'No, I didn't say that! It's just…' Kisshu protested.
They both knew that it was highly unlikely that Aoyama was the one who kidnapped Ichigo. And if what Kisshu said about Ichigo and Aoyama kissing was true then the situation was even more unlikely. That's what they thought anyway.
'I still don't understand,' Pie shook his head.
Kisshu was starting to get even more frustrated, 'I don't understand either.'
'What do you want to do?'
'I don't know…It's just….There is this feeling. Like Ichigo was there. I could sense she was there, but I couldn't see her or hear her. But it felt like she was with me.'
'I still don't understand.'
Kisshu sighed, 'I can't explain it, but I know Ichigo is close by. I don't have that feeling anymore but she was close to me before but we completely missed her while we were looking for her.'
'So what you are trying to say is…' Pie said trying to figure it out.
'Pie, I know where Ichigo is.'
Both of the aliens stayed quiet for a moment. Pie just looked at him confused at everything. If he knew where Ichigo was then he should be happy and he should have told everyone else so they all can work together to find her. Why was he just telling him?
'Pie, I am only telling you because I think Ichigo is with that stupid treehugger,' Kisshu said reading his mind. Pie's eyes widened in surprise, 'And if we tell the Mew Mews they might not believe us, we might just as well just find her ourselves.'
Ichigo gave a sigh. She has finally stopped crying. The room was very quiet and she felt lonely. She missed everyone and she really wanted to escape but right now she can't think of any plans. This made her even more annoyed. She was tired of sitting there all day doing nothing. Aoyama only came to visit her a few times and most of the time they would start an argument. But she stopped talking to him since a few days ago. She still couldn't believe that Kisshu was right there outside the room.
The thought of him made Ichigo more upset. A small tear appeared in her eyes. She wished she was there with him. She wished he was here. She remembered when Kisshu would appear so suddenly out of nowhere and leave with saying a word at times. She wished now was one of those times when he appeared right in front of her without any sort of warning, like he always did.
But that didn't happen, of course. The door would open a few times and Ichigo would perk up hoping that miraculously, the person coming in was Kisshu. And if it wasn't him - because usually that was the case - she would hope that it was anyone that could get her out of there. Anyone. But then she would see that it's Aoyama instead and she would be left with nothing but disappointment.
Ichigo looking out of the window giving a sigh. Why did her life always have so many adventures in it? Why was she left to solve so many problems? Life was already complicated just the way it is.
'Are you sure that this is a good idea?' Pie asked teleporting behind Kisshu. They were on top of a big, tall building. It was very high but the height didn't bother the aliens. They were all used to it with flying and teleporting all the time.
'No,' Kisshu chuckled.
'Me neither,' Pie muttered. But they all went on with it anyway, 'you know we really should be going back.'
'We can't, we already came too far to turn back.'
'This is probably one of the most stupid ideas that you probably ever had. What if everything goes wrong? What if she isn't in there? What if it turns out that Aoyama isn't really the one who kidnapped Ichigo?'
Kisshu was ignoring all of Pie's question. Instead, he looked up at the sky and enjoyed that wonderful feeling when the wind blew in his face.
He knew Ichigo was there. If it wasn't in Aoyama's house, then she would be nearby. Something in his heart told him so. All he was doing was following his heart. She had doubts himself. He isn't expecting to find Ichigo. He probably won't. That was what is more likely to happen anyway.
'What exactly was our plan again?' Pie suddenly realised that Kisshu hadn't told him what he had in mind.
Kisshu looked at Pie and grinned, 'that's the fun of it,' he said, 'we don't have one.'
Ichigo sat in her bed daydreaming to herself. Sometimes, time seems to pass more quickly when you have something to do and right now Ichigo couldn't think of anything to do except from escaping into a world of her own. That was the only world she could escape to. But the only problem with that is that she would always have to come back to the real world.
A loud, familiar noise interrupted her thoughts and bought her back to Earth straight away. She didn't know what it was but it sounded like a teleporting noise. Before she could turn around to see who was there, two arms wrapped themselves around Ichigo. Then erything happened too fast.
Before Ichigo could even think, get anything into her brain or realise what was happening, she heard a low playful whisper in her ears, 'I finally found you kitten.'
Ichigo's eyes widened and she could hear herself gasp, she didn't dare move. She didn't want to turn around either. She just stayed still.
'My sweet, little koneko-chan, how have you been?' Kisshu whispered smirking.
Ichigo smiled, 'Kisshu, it's you isn't it?'
'Who else would it be?' Kisshu's smirk widened.
Ichigo finally found the courage to turn around. Indeed, it was Kisshu. She couldn't believe Kisshu was here! It felt like all of the loneliness was replaced with happiness that she didn't experience in a long time. She hasn't seen him for weeks but it felt like even longer.
'I am so happy to see you!' Ichigo said hugging him.
'It looks like my kitty-cat missed me.'
'I did miss you,' Ichigo laughed, 'a lot.'
Aoyama was downstairs, he was just about to go up to Ichigo's room and give her lunch that he prepared earlier for her. But he heard some noise from upstairs. He looked up confused, but then shrugged. It was probably Ichigo. He took the plate of food up to her room. He unlocked the door and went inside.
But as soon as he came in, the plate he was holding slipped from his hands and soon shattered into thousands of pieces. Just like his heart broke into a thousand pieces when he came inside the room. He couldn't believe his eyes. The room Ichigo was in, it had nothing in it. It had no one in it. Ichigo wasn't there. It was empty.
