'What does she want?' Taruto asked in an annoyed voice.

'How many times have I told you to not treat guests like that?' Kisshu said.

Taruto shrugged, 'I am telling Pie.'

Kisshu and Ichigo stared at Taruto who flew out of the room.

Kisshu took Ichigo's hand and both of them went into his room.

Soon Pie came into the room to see what was going on. He didn't look at all pleased. He waited for Ichigo to enter Kisshu's room, 'We need to talk.'

Kisshu looked at Pie for a moment, trying to figure out what he wanted to talk to him about but like always, Pie's face was expressionless and completely blank. It was juts impossible to tell what was going through his mind. Kisshu sighed, Pie was always like that. He just had to wait and find out.

'What?' Kisshu said looking at Ichigo for a moment. He smiled at her and gestured her to wait. Ichigo nodded at him and sat down. So Kisshu closed the door and turned to face Pie.

'Yeah, what do you want?'

'Why is she here?'

'What do you mean why? Isn't she allowed to come here?'

Pie sighed, 'I know that you probably hate me by now for getting onto you so much about Ichigo. But really, I am trying to help you.'

'What are you on about?' Kisshu said confused.

'We know that you like her so we won't stop you from being with her. All we are trying to do is to make you understand the fact that you will have to leave her. And once you do, it could be extremely painful for you.'

Kisshu didn't say anything for a while. He knew Pie was right and he hated it when he was. He will leave her, no matter how much he wanted to stay with her, he couldn't. He couldn't keep the promise he made to her. Now he was feeling angry. Not at Pie or Taruto, but at himself. For making that stupid promise to her. He was angry at the fact that he will break her heart one day. That was just as bad as what Aoyama did to Ichigo, if not that, then worse.

'I know,' Kisshu silently whispered.

Pie put his hand in his shoulder, 'It might not look like it, but we all care for you. We all worry about you,' Pie told him, 'We are trying to help you. So if there is anything bothering you, keeping it to yourself will just make things worse.'

Kisshu gasped when he looked at Pie. He saw something. Or at least he thought he did. Even if it was just a small one. If he wasn't mistaken – which he probably was – he just saw a smile in his face. Being used to seeing Pie so serious all the time nearly made Kisshu forget that Pie could still smile. He still had the right to be happy, it was just a shame that he didn't do that very often. Or at least, he didn't show it very often anyway.

'Pie…Did you just…'

'Did I just what?' Pie's face soon turned back to being serious.

Kisshu was about to ask him something but stopped himself, 'Oh…Um…Nothing. Thanks.'

Kisshu nodded at Pie and went back in his room, not believing what he saw before. He soon took that out of his mind when he saw Ichigo look around his room.

'Hi,' Kisshu said as he hugged her.

'What took you so long?' Ichigo asked.

'Nothing,' Kisshu replied with a kiss.

Ichigo soon broke the kiss with another question, 'What were you and Pie talking about?'

'Just some stuff that needed sorting out.'

'This stuff was to do with me?'

'Not at all.'

'Well, is it sorted out then?'

Kisshu thought for a moment, remembering what Pie told him, 'Yeah, I would say it is.'

Ichigo smiled at him and went back to finish the kiss from earlier. Kisshu happily kissed back, trying not to think that it could be their last kiss before he had to leave. Kisshu tightened his grip so he could focus on the kiss instead.

'Ichigo,' Kisshu said.

'What is it?'

'I need to tell you something.'

'Go on then.'

'I've thought a lot about this. And I decided that I will have to leave and go back to my planet.'

Ichigo stared at him, 'Kisshu…'

'But that's only if you want me to,' Kisshu added, 'If you say that you don't want me to go and stay with you instead, I won't go. I will do exactly what you say, even if Pie and Taruto try to stop me.'

'Kisshu…I…'

'Don't lie to me, Ichigo. Please.' Kisshu whispered.

'Kisshu, you can go. I mean, it's your planet. And I know you can't stay here forever. You…You should go,' Ichigo smiled him.

'Ichigo, I told you not to lie to me.'

'I am not lying,' Ichigo protested, 'Really, I mean it.'

'This could be our last time together. If I will be leaving, I will be leaving tomorrow.'

'Then we should stop wasting our time together.'

Kisshu gave her another kiss, 'Are you sure this is alright with you.'

Ichigo nodded, 'Of course it is!'

Ichigo forced another smile, because it wasn't.
