Trapped In Serenity

Some time after book five, not a specific timeframe thought, fits in several points of the story.

Disclaimers: I don't own Ichigo, Kish or anything Tokyo Mew Mew. Only the plot is mine, but I haven't trademarked it, but…- oh well… You get the idea.

----------------------

Chapter 1

Ichigo walked through the deserted hallways of the mall's big basement, her cat ears wide, searching for sounds of her opponents. The basement was painted grey, and with its coldness and darkness it wasn't a pleasant place. That was why Ichigo was little afraid, as she looked frantically around, searching for signs of any aliens that might attack her. That was also why Ichigo almost screamed when a warm hand took a hold of her shoulder, drawing her near the body of the owner of the hand.

Kish.

"Ah, my favourite kitty... did I scare you?" Kish asked his flirty smile on his face as always. Ichigo looked at him irritated, but didn't remove his hand from her shoulder.

"No. And I am not your kitty!" Ichigo snapped. Kish continued smirking, shrugging the insult off.

"Oh, but you are... now where were we? Right, I was wondering why you are here?" Kish said quirking an eyebrow and smirked at the blushing Ichigo. Ichigo's brows furrowed in irritation.

"What a stupid question! To stop you of course!" She snapped. A look of pure surprise spread to Kish's features as he stuttered;

"B-but we... we weren't going to attack here! I just followed you!" Ichigo just stared at Kish calculating, as if trying to decide ether believe him or not.

"Well, the machine Keiichiro had said there was some weird alien activity here! And there were these new aliens upstairs!" Ichigo tried to explain. Kish got a weird look in his eyes, but Ichigo had no time to ask about it, because suddenly there was an arrow sticking out of her shoulder, just beside her heart, where it would have immediately killed her. Kish just stared at Ichigo in shock as he tried to steady her. She fell to her knees, and she looked with misty eyes at something behind Kish's shoulder.

"D'arvit!" The guy behind Kish cursed. The guy, no, alien, as he had identical ears to those of Kish, raised his bow once more.

The young man was quite tall; His black hair was longer than Kish's, reaching mid-back, though held in similar fashion as Kish's. The man had had similar outfit too, but his was in black and dark green. Kish's eyes widened in realization.

"Eoin!" Kish said, utterly shocked as he stared at the man he knew all too well. Even though he was shocked, he still moved to cover Ichigo with his own body, by standing in the way of the bow. Irritation showed in Eoin's face as he said in a deep voice;

"Move over Kish. Your last chance." Eoin said his Black eyes cold, and his voice hard. Kish considered his options in mere seconds before gathering Ichigo in his hands and teleporting back to his ship. The barely conscious Ichigo didn't protest. Eoin lowered his bow, and just as they teleported away, Kish could hear Eoin's last words;

"Oh, and Kish! I visited Serenity!" Shock spread through Kish as he heard the name of his ship, but by then it was too late.
