Tokyo Mew Mew

Pie went home with Kishu and Taruto to a place they rented.

"What is it you want to talk to us about?" Taruto asked.

"Ichigo isn't just mad at you, Kishu. It's all three of us." Pie then explained what he had heard her say to Ryo.

Kishu was most hurt. Why was Masaya ignoring- No. Neglecting Ichigo? She was a sweet girl. So why was he doing it? She risked everything,,,Her own life for crying out loud. And he's doing this.

Kishu was so mad.

"We need to make it up to her." Pie said.

"How? I mean it's not like we left without saying anything. We had to fix what Deep Blue had done." Taruto said.

Kishu wanted to help. She was hurting because of that human. Masaya. clinching his fist he tried to not hit himself or hit the wall and hurt himself.

"Maybe there's something we can really help with this whole...Christmas, new years thing." Pia said.

So all three agreed.

Heading to the cafe the next day Ichigo dreaded going to see Kishu, Pie, and Taruto's faces.

When she went in the back way she changed her cloths and was right on time for work.

"Morning." Ryo said.

"Morning."

"Feeling better this time?" Ryo asked.

Ichigo sighed. "No. But I can't keep doing this. Hating Kishu, Pie, and Taruto. Wanting Masaya to answer me. I need to grow up. Right?" Ichigo rolled her eyes.

"No. You don't need to. You already are. It's just the pain your holding on to." Ryo said.

He was right. Ichigo was holding onto the pain of not seeing Masaya. But there was more pain then Ryo knew about. "I'll be fine. I'm going to work on my tart." She said.

She headed into the kitchen. As she did Kishu came in through the door. "Your here early." Ryo said. "Well, I have to keep up with my job don't I?" Kishu smiled.

Ryo didn't say or show anything. He just turned on his heels and went to the basement.

"Okay then." Kishu said. He walked into the kitchen and saw Ichigo working. "Whata doin?" He asked grinning.

Ichigo rolled her eyes but ignored him. She looked all over the place for her ingredients to make her tart. "Okay, Sugar, flour, and...where did Lettuce put the strawberries?" She was talking to herself.

Kishu thought it best to watch and let her do her thing.

Ichigo was working hard on her tart. She had to make an effort on what was for the Christmas and New Years specials.

"You need any help there?" Kishu asks.

Ichigo ignores him still. She just focused on her tart.

"Ichigo. I know you hate us. Look. I know things aren't great. What we did. Have done to you and the girls. But we had to go. We had to fix what we were promised. You understood." Kishu spoke to her.

Ichigo sighed and stopped what she was doing. "I know you had to leave. I know you three had to go home and fix what Deep Blue lied to you about. Saving your people. But did it have to be so long?" She asked.

Kishu didn't say anything.

"You could have sent a letter. A message. Anything to let us know. To tell us you were home safe. Fixing everything. Living in peace now." Ichigo was holding herself together. She wasn't going to break down like yesterday.

"We couldn't. We didn't have the tech to send you all anything." Kishu said.

"Well. Now your just here to try and make up for everything, Right?" Ichigo went back to making her tart.

"I'm sorry Ichigo." Kishu said.

"I tried to contact you. If I had known you couldn't talk back, I wouldn't have tried so hard to talk to you." Ichigo said.

Kishu was shocked. But he didn't say anything.

"Ichigo." Kishu spoke. "What happened to Masaya?" He dared to ask.

Ichigo was finishing her tart. "He's in college. In London. Where he's been for almost five years. We faked married after you left. He promised to love me." She hid her face. "But he's not talked to me in so long. And when I finally get to him, he's saying he's busy. Can't talk."

Kishu wanted to hug her. He could tell she was in such pain. He left her.

"Ichigo. I know I'm not Masaya. But, I am here for you. As a friend. Just like you were there for me when I died." He hated mentioning it. But it was when Masaya was Deep Blue and Ichigo had to save them both at her own life.

"Thank you." Ichigo said. She rubbed her eyes. "Would you like to help me with the rest of the treats?" She asked.

Kishu smiled. "Sure." He said.

Soon everyone came in for work and Ryo was getting the menu ready. Soon it was Christmas time and the specials were off.

"I wonder what to get?" Asked a girl.

"I don't know. Wish we could ask." Said the guy with her.

"Are we all set?" Asked Kishu.

"Do you have any preference with these new Berry Christmas treats?" The girl asked.

Kishu smirked. "The Carrot Sweeties are in both Vanilla and Chocolate. From my friend their," Pointing to Taruto. "He loves the Vanilla the best." He said.

"But the Cream fluff. What is that?" The guy asked.

"The cream fluff is like a cream puff. But with flavored cream. And it's a surprise for each one. Only the one who made it knows whats in them." Lettuce and Ryo did excellent work to getting them all right. "There should be about five different ones." Kishu said.

"What is Lemon Suckers?"

"Like a cake pop from America. But these are pink lemonade flavors. They are really sour." Kishu said. "And the other one is a blueberry pound. Like pound cake. But with blue dye and blueberries. If you want I think she could make other berry cakes like it." Kishu added.

"I see. All of these are so good." The guy said.

"I suggest this one." Kishu pointed to the tart on the bottom.

"The Berry New Christmas tart?" The girl asked.

"Yes. It may look odd, but I can tell you it's more sweeter then any sugar cane in the world." Kishu said.

"We'll take that." They both said.

Kishu nodded and went into the kitchen.

"Two of the tarts." Kishu said.

"Coming up." Ichigo said. She was more happy now.

Kishu smiled. He loved seeing her this happy. And with Masaya gone. He still might have a chance to win her back.

"Kishu! Get back to work!" Ryo shouted. "Coming boss." He said.

Ichigo laughed. Maybe she could move on from this now. Now they he was here.

The End

Wow! This took me WAY too long.

But it's finally finished. What a fluffy story right?

Hope you loved this two shot tale.
