'Where are you going now?' Kisshu asked.

'Kisshu, let my hand go,' Ichigo told him.

'But why are you leaving?'

'I am not leaving! I am going to school. I will be back in a couple of hours so let my hand go or else.'

'Or else what?'

'If my dad sees us like this he is definitely going to kill you.'

'You have to give me a hug before you go.'

'Forget it! I don't have time for hugs, I am going to be late for school!'

Kisshu sighed letting her hand go, 'Fine…'

Ichigo gave a sigh of relief and looked at her watch. She was late. Again. The only thing that she can do to avoid another after school detention was to run for her life – possibly, skip breakfast as well – and hope that she would reach her school in time.

Kisshu, as always, was being a real pain and decided to not listen to Ichigo (like he does every morning before she goes to school). So the first thing she did when Kisshu let her go she ran out of her door.

Kisshu gave another sigh when she left. He hated it when Ichigo wasn't with him. He felt lonely and bored all at the same time. When Kisshu was about to go to bed and sleep, since he didn't have anything better to do, he heard the door open. Kisshu turned around to see who it was.

'Um…Kisshu…?' Ichigo said quietly as she came in the room.

'What are you doing here? Aren't you going to be late for school?' Kisshu asked confused.

'Are you mad at me?'

'Why would I be mad at you?'

Ichigo came running into him and give him a hug, 'I will be back as soon as school finishes. So please don't be angry.'

Kisshu grinned, hugging her back, 'I am not, I got my hug.'

Kisshu gave her a quick kiss on the lips. Ichigo looked back at him smiling.

'Bye,' she said before she ran out of the room.

Kisshu looked at the door for a moment. He heard Ichigo say 'goodbye' to her parents and slam the door downstairs. He looked out of the window when she had gone out, Ichigo was running to school. He didn't take her eyes off her until he couldn't see her anymore.

Kisshu's wound was healing fast. He could already walk and get out of bed easily. At times, he would get tired and end up in bed again, but he is starting to get stronger so he is out of bed most of the time.

Kisshu sighed when he remembered what happened a few days ago. He remembered the promise from last time. He promised her that he will never leave her. But he also promised Pie and Taruto that he would go back to their planet when they found Ichigo. What was he going to do?

Kisshu stared at the clear, cloudless sky. He missed his friends back in his planet. What will his people think if he didn't come back just because of some human girl. That human girl meant the world to him, but will everyone understand that? They might not think it that way.

Was he ready to give up his planet just for Ichigo? The truth was, he could do anything for her. Anything. But he would miss Pie and Taruto as well. He couldn't lose them, could he? He fought with them for a long time. They became very close friends. They were like brothers. How was he going to leave them? They would probably think that he was stupid for doing all of this just for some girl. But they didn't how it feels like to fall in love. They didn't know how painful it is, to love someone.

'Ichigo,' Kisshu thought, 'Why do always you do this to me?'

Back at school, Ichigo managed to come to school in time. If she was just a second late, she would be dead. Her teacher looked at her and them glanced the clock. Ichigo gave her a nervous smile, hoping she wasn't in trouble. Much to Ichigo's relief, her teacher just pointed at her seat, signalling her to sit down.

'You did it!' Moe and Miwa whispered at Ichigo from the other side of the room, giving her a thumbs up.

'Thanks,' Ichigo whispered back and sat down.

Ichigo took her books and her pencil case out. This was going to be a long day…

'So what are you doing after school?' Moe asked Ichigo at lunch.

'I don't know…'

'Have you finished all your homework?' Miwa took her book out and started reading something in it.

'No…'

'Have you even started them yet?'

'Er…No…'

Moe and Miwa sighed. Ichigo will never change.

'So…Have you seen Aoyama lately?' Moe said, changing the subject.

'A…Aoyama?' Ichigo repeated.

'Yeah. You said a few days ago that he came to visit you.'

Moe and Miwa kept asking her about what happened when she went missing. She couldn't tell them that she was kidnapped. It was too long of a story and she didn't want to make them worried. So every time, they tried to ask her about it, she would ignore the question or try to change the subject.

'I don't know…I haven't seen him…' Ichigo lied. She hoped that her friends didn't realise that she was lying. She was horrible at lying and it was pretty obvious when she did. But her friends didn't seem to notice.

When school was finally over, Ichigo took her bag and started walking home. Another day was over. Now she had to go home and do her homework. She wasn't particularly looking forward to that, but it was something that just had to be done.

'I am home!' Ichigo shouted.

She was welcomed home by her parents.

'I am going upstairs to change,' Ichigo said as she went upstairs.

'You are home,' Kisshu smirked when he saw Ichigo coming in the room.

'Get out, I am going to change.'

Kisshu didn't move an inch. He just stood there staring at her. So Ichigo took her clothes and decided to change in the bathroom instead.

'Ichigo, wait.'

'I will be back in a moment.'

But Kisshu closed the door so she couldn't go out.

'What are you doing? Let me go out! If you don't I will-' Ichigo was interrupted by a kiss and a hug.

'Or what? I missed you,' Kisshu said after the kiss but he didn't let go of her.

Ichigo gave him a smile, 'I missed you too.'

'Ichigo, do you love me?'

'Of course I do.'

Kisshu smirked, 'Then come on a date with me,' he whispered.

So...How was it...?
