This is my first fanfic! Hopefully it isn't too bad ...

A Box Of Chocolates

"Life is a box of chocolates...you never know what you're going to get". Or Who...

It was one of those days; one of those days where nothing goes the way you want it to. It was ten to eight in the morning, but so far nothing had gone to plan for Ichigo. She'd stubbed her toe getting out of bed, there was nothing for breakfast, she'd ripped her favourite dress pulling it out of her wardrobe and to top it all off, it was a bad hair day!

As Ichigo tried to tug the brush through her unruly locks (it resembled a bird's nest!) the cat-girl began to think. It was a year since Kisshu and his friends had left and things had slowly began to return to normal, although Ichigo's tail popped out when she was scared, nervous or excited.

Kish...

The green-haired alien had visited a couple of times since then, but not for very long and only in the most inappropriate places and times (such as when she was getting undressed)! The redhead sighed. "Maybe I shouldn't have chosen Masaya" She couldn't help wondering what could've happened if she'd left Masaya and begged Kisshu to stay. What then?

Kisshu...

As if answering her thoughts, the alien that Ichigo had spent so much time thinking about (although she wasn't sure why) appeared silently behind her, resting his hands on her shoulders. Ichigo froze, scared stiff and her cat ears and tail popped out; ears flat back against her head and tail fluffed.

"Miss me?" Kish's warm breath tickled the cat-girls ear. He loved her reaction, although it was quite painful.

Only then did the girl with flaming hair notice that she had stuck her claws into his thighs, as any frightened cat would do. She retracted them slowly, pricked her ears up and the fur on her tail smoothed back down. Said tail curled gently around the alien's left ankle, but Ichigo was still frozen in place.

Although it had only been a matter of seconds, the cat-girl hadn't taken a breath since the unexpected (but not necessarily unwelcome) "guest" had arrived.

"Let me." Kish said softly taking the forgotten brush from her unresisting hands. He slipped a sly hand around the shocked girl's waist and began to brush her crimson hair. As if by magic, all the knots melted away, and without an ounce of pain!

Kisshu removed his hand from around Ichigo's waist and stroked her hair tenderly.

"I'm sorry...did I scare you?" the alien whispered, leaning in so close that Ichigo could feel the heat radiating from his skin. The sly alien moved his hand across to the cat girl's furry ear and began to stroke it slowly. She began to purr and a rosy glow crept to her checks. He was enjoying this.

Then suddenly, as if someone had hit the "play" button, Ichigo spun round, the spell Kisshu had created, broken. She reached up to slap him but paused, a millimetre from his face.

"Yes..." Ichigo said quietly, dropping her suspended hand. Suddenly the floor was very interesting to look at.

"Sorry..." he whispered again. The green haired alien cupped her chin and lifted it. He leant in closer so she can feel his breath and warmth. Their lips were barely a centimetre apart. The cat-girls tail was still curled around his ankle.

Ichigo blushed furiously, the colour red a tomato would envy!

"I....I've got to go..." she stuttered, removing herself quickly but reluctantly from his gentle grasp. She ran out of her room, startled by how embarrassed she'd been.

Shaking his face from her thoughts, she ran out of the house with a hasty "bye mom!". Hopefully she wouldn't be late meeting Masaya; he said he had something important to tell her...

Distracted by these thoughts, Ichigo ran headlong into a certain someone. Picking herself up gingerly from the floor, checking her scraped hands, the cat-girl lifted her head to apologize. She was shocked by who she saw and fell back.

Just before she hit the ground, a strong arm slid round her waist to catch her.

"Thought you'd leave without saying goodbye?" Kisshu asked innocently, helping her to her feet. A playful grin was etched onto his handsome face. How had Ichigo not noticed how good-looking he was before?

Looking away, so that Kish wouldn't see the blush returning with a vengeance, she began to walk in a hurry. "Good...goodbye"

"Where you going?" the alien asked playfully, teleporting in front of her. He was blocking her path so Ichigo had no choice but to stop.

"To see Masaya...he-he needs to talk to me"

A frown crossed Kish's handsome face. Why? Why, after so long, was Ichigo, his kitten, his, still with that tree hugging b..... The alien's thoughts were shattered when he felt the wind of Ichigo running by. He turned around quickly, but she was already gone...

Ichigo struggled to regain her breath as she entered the park, slowing to a walk. Kisshu had made her late! She huffed angrily.

There he is!!!

The cat girl sped up to a fast walk when she saw Masaya...

I wonder what he wants to tell me...

Tears streamed down the cat-girls face as she yelled at him. "Him" took a step back in shock. What had he done? What monster had he unleashed on Tokyo?

"You no good son of a ****! How could you do this to me? I thought I loved you! You can...." angry, hateful words spewed from Ichigo's mouth. She marched up to Masaya (yes, he is "him") and slapped him hard across the cheek. Before he had a chance to recover, the angry redhead backhanded him across his other cheek. Without pausing for breath, Ichigo kneed him in the "private area" and then stormed of, tears blurring her eyes.

Masaya groaned and dropped to the floor, rolling about in agony.

Why.....?
