-1Me: I am so sorry! That last chapter was WAY to short. No reviewers for Chapter Three yet.

Kishu: Help me!

Me: What's wrong?

Kishu: Pai's going to kill me!

Me: No he's not.

Kishu: Yeah he is.

Me: Nuh uh! Here.

Retasu: What am I doing here?

Me: Now, just hide behind her or something.

Kishu: Ok.

Taruto: Ayame does not own Tokyo Mew Mew.

"They have alias. Mamoru go keep an eye on them."

"Yes master."

Now on with Chapter Four

Ichigo and Kishu had just gotten home from the movies. Cherri opened the door and smiled, "So, how'd it go?"

"I hate to admit it, but it was great! Kishu was actually nice!"

Purin giggled, "Ichigo, you should have given him a chance sooner."

"Yeah! But I have to get to know more of the nice Kishu before I'll be his girlfriend."

"Awe… but Koneko."

"No buts Kishu."

Retasu smiled sweetly at the two. "Maybe we should eat lunch."

Ichigo nodded, "I only got a little popcorn and some soda."

Uke watched this and couldn't help but notice the sorrow in her mother's eyes. She followed her into the kitchen, "What's wrong, I know you're upset."

Her mother sighed, "I waited for this day for so long, but now I have to fight again… Not only that but it doesn't feel right." She looked at her daughter in the eyes, "I love him… but I've hurt him. Uke, I kissed Ryou in front of him, I can't just tell him I did that to save him. That my kiss brought Ryou back to life… he wouldn't believe me."

Uke's eyes softened, "Even at your age you are having problems with love, even when what you did happened seventeen years ago, you can't forgive yourself." Uke smiled, "Mother, he is my father, simply by the fact Fate chose me to be born. Have you noticed my appearance, my attitude towards people who threaten me, and how I seem to know more then humanly possible." Retasu's eyes widened, "I know enough by what you have told me about them to compare myself to him. I may act like you most of the time, but I have my moments."

Retasu nodded, her eyes softening, "I guess you're right. There are times when you seem to be cold." She blinked, "But why? I… I don't understand."

"Look at Cherri, who other than Ichigo does she remind you of?"

"Kishu…"

"And Momo?"

"Taruto and Purin…"

"See, we where born to protect this world and the Cyliclons. Fate is not as cruel as you think, I've been having dreams and now I know why."

"Uke…"

"No, mother, we must fight. Not just for humans and Earth, but also for the Cyliclons and their planet." Retasu's filled with understanding, she nodded, and they began to prepare the meal.

With Pai.

Pai had heard some of the conversation.

I love him…

It took him a while to find out who she was talking about.

He's my father…

Pai couldn't believe that. But the way she explained seem to make sense. He stood up and walked into the kitchen when it was quiet. Uke noticed him first and she smiled warmly. Pai realized she was stronger than her mother, probably in every category by the way she acted. Retasu turned around and blushed. His eyes softened. Ichigo came in and began to help Retasu and Uke with the dishes. Pai decided to help as well and picked up a bowl of ramen and brought it out. Purin was talking to Taruto none stop, Ichigo was telling Kishu not to eat with his hands, and the three daughters were sitting together and whispering to themselves. He sat beside Retasu, causing her to blush darker.

With Ichigo

Kishu noticed Retasu's reaction to Pai and smiled. "Does she like him?"

"What do you mean?" Ichigo asked.

"Look." He motioned to Pai and Retasu.

"Yes, she does. But don't pick on her about it, it took her twelve years to tell us."

"Twelve?"

"Yep."

"Whoa. It took me, what a week to admit you were more than a toy?"

"Maybe a little longer."

"Yeah…"

"Hey Kishu?"

"Yeah?"

"Why did you choose me?"

"I used to think it was because you were leader but then I remembered I had felt some kind of pull toward you or something."

"Ok…"

"It's hard to explain."

"I know. That's life, I just thought you would have a better explanation."

"Hey, I don't know everything, not even about myself."

"I'm just saying…"

"Koneko-chan look." Ichigo blushed but looked at Purin and Taruto who were now smiling and laughing about something, "He finally gave in.."

"What do you mean?"

"He let himself believe in his feelings for her."

"Awe… the runts blushing."

Kishu chuckled, "Now all we have to do is get Pai to tell Retasu how he feels."

"Huh?"

"Oh come on koneko. Am I the only one who realizes he likes her?"

"No."

"Uke!?!"

"I noticed at the door."

"What? It took me weeks to finally realize he liked her and it took you what a minute?"

"1.657849 minutes."

"You're scaring me."

"You'll get over it. She's like that at times."

"Ok."

"It's best if you don't ignore me."

"Hi?"

"Nice try. Momo, Cherri, come here." The two girls walked over to her.

"Yeah."

"They need help getting Mi momu ande dedo together."

Cherri smiled, "Awesome! We're in!"

Me: Sorry this is so short! I have to go though.

Pai: -glares at Kishu-

Kishu: And when Taruto was five he learned how to use his click-clack toy as a weapon.

Retasu: Really?

Taruto: Hey! Stop talking about me!

Me: Bye!
