(A/N: It's not too often that I write more than one story at once, put the plot bunnies have been multiplying like crazy, forcing me to begin this story before I finished the last one. As you should know, this is a Tokyo Mew Mew story that takes place after the anime with a rather interesting twist to it. Please keep in mind that since this isn't the only story I'm working on, it may take a little longer for me to update than usual.)

"ALIEN ICHIGO"

Chapter 1: Kish's Birthday Present

Kish tapped his finger impatiently on the table as he looked out the window at the stars. Somewhere out there, on a planet called Earth, his little kitten was going about her normal life. Then again, what was normal for a Mew Mew?

When he spoke of Mew Mews, he was referring to the earthlings that had been, for lack of a better word, spliced with animal DNA, giving them strange supernatural powers. The earthling he was thinking about, Ichigo Momomiya, had been spliced with a cat, hence the reason for him caller her 'kitten'.

But it had been gene splicing that had given him the idea. And with his race's superior technology, and with a genius like his friend Pie to help, he had a plan that would allow him to finally claim Ichigo as his.

Turning to the older alien, he asked, "Hey, Pie, is it ready yet?"

The normally emotionless alien glared at him. "Unless you want to finish it yourself, I suggest you stop asking."

Kish growled and turned away to find the youngest member of their group floating in front of him. "Why are you so obsessed with her anyway?"

Kish smirked at him and flicked him on the forehead. "You're one to talk, Taru-Taru. Especially for the way you are with the monkey."

Tart turned red. "D-Don't call me Taru-Taru! And Pudding and I are only friends!"

"Mmm hmm." Kish muttered slyly. "Is that why I find you watching her through the MegaScope?"

The MegaScope was a super telescope that was so powerful that it allowed the aliens to zero in on the people of earth. They had wanted to keep an eye on their… friends.

Within the two years since Deep Blue's defeat, Ichigo had left the Mew Mews to go away to college. The others currently had a new leader named Berry, who seemed to take over Ichigo's role of leadership rather well. But Kish could care less about them. His kitten was his top priority when he used the MegaScope.

And his kitten had grown up to be beautiful. Kish would become very jealous when he saw other guys hitting on her. Especially that stupid Mayasa, Ichigo's boyfriend. Or should he say ex-boyfriend. While the two of them had been a couple, they're paths in life separated them. Mayasa went overseas to study, while Ichigo had gone away to another college. Sadly, long distant relationships don't work out so well, so the two decided to put their relationship on hold. After they graduated, they planned on meeting again and seeing if they still had feelings for one another, and if so, they would get back together.

'Stupid human.' Kish thought. 'He loved his career choice more than he loved Ichigo. Well, his lose is my gain. And I won't be stupid enough to let her go.'

"It's finished." Said Pie.

Kish jumped up and hurried over to his friend. "It is? Really?"

"Really. Though I would suggest testing it before using it."

Kish smiled. "Of course."

He reached for the gun-shaped device, but Pie pulled it out of his reach. Kish gave him a questioning look, cocking his head to the side.

"I'm not saying not to use it." Pie told him. "I just want you to think about this before you make a decision. She will not be happy about this."

Oh, Kish was certain about that. His kitten would be absolutely furious. And if the other Mew Mews found out what he was going to do, oh boy would there be trouble. Good thing his kitten was miles away from them.

"I have thought about it." Kish assured him. "Sure things will be… rough at first. But I'm confident that things will work out in the end." He snatched the device from Pie. "And besides, once I use this on her, she won't have much of a choice."

Pie sighed. "This is wrong and you know it. If it wasn't for you personally requesting it for your coming of age present, I never would have agreed."

Kish slapped him on the back. "Hey, you worry too much. I appreciate your work and thank you for it, but I'll take things over from here."

Tart appeared behind him. "It's not just her you have to worry about. What about the rest of our race? A lot of them hate humans for stealing our planet, even if they did help us in the end." He looked outside. "Although, I personally think our planet is a lot nicer than Earth now that we used the Mew Aqua to fix it. Just think, we could have solved our planet's problems a lot faster if we had just taken the Mew Aqua and not used it on Deep Blue… Pie!"

The oldest alien stubbornly looked away. He had been Deep Blue's biggest supporter, completely devoting himself to the evil god. He was just glad he had seen the error of his ways before he had gotten them all killed.

Kish waved off Tart's worries. "They'll accept her. They won't have much of a choice. How could they deny on of the three 'saviors of our race'? They wouldn't separate him and the one he loves."

"They may accept her," said Pai, "but they may also treat her differently. She could be harassed."

Kish's eyes narrowed. "I will protect her. Anyone who dares to mess with my kitten will have to answer to me." He suddenly became cheerful again. "Enough chit chat. We've got a long journey to Earth. Lets get going."

"Remember," cried Tart, "you promised that I could visit Pudding."

"Yeah, yeah. We'll make a stop at your girlfriend's house."

"S-Stop it Kish! We're just friends… Really… just friends…"

Pie shook his head. 'Why do I get the feeling that this is a very bad idea.'

(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)-(-)

Late again. It didn't matter if she was at the café or at college, Ichigo always seemed to be running late. At least her teachers couldn't dock her pay like Ryou could.

'But what if they raise my tuition few!' she thought worriedly. 'Can they do that? Oh, hurry, Ichigo, hurry.'

But she was delayed further when she saw an empty soda can on the ground. She picked it up and threw it in the nearest garbage can without even thinking. She had a thing about keeping the environment clean. She wanted to do her part, as she knew that Mayasa, being the environmentalist that he was, was doing his.

Her thoughts turned to her (ex?)boyfriend. Not for the first time she wondered if the reason he was so protective of the planet was because he was Deep Blue's vessel. Or perhaps human incarnation would be a better way of putting it. She didn't know. It was all so confusing. From what she could gather of the whole situation, Deep Blue was a god who created a human version of himself, Mayasa, until he could rise to power as a god again and emerge through his human vessel. But then what did that make the Blue Knight?

Feeling a headache from the heavy thinking coming on, she pushed those thoughts aside. 'I shouldn't worry about it. Deep Blue is gone, and only Mayasa is left. I shouldn't dwell on the past. It will only make me- Wait, I'm still late!'

She put on a burst of speed and ran towards the college. Why did her dorm have to be so far away from her first class? Everyone else was already in their classes, how come she could never make it in time?

"Hello, kitten."

The unexpected comment caught Ichigo off guard and she tripped over her own feet, falling face first on the ground.

"Ow, that hurt!" she cried. "What? Who is it? Who's their?" She looked around, but saw no one. "G-Ghost?"

"No, up here."

Ichigo looked up to find a familiar yet more mature green haired alien floating right above her. Her mind went blank for a moment until the alien quickly kissed her. Shocked, she jumped back, falling on the ground again.

"W-W-What the?" She blinked, looking at the laughing alien. "Kish? Oh my gosh! Kish, is that you?"

Kish chuckled. "The one and only. Did you miss me?"

Ichigo was speechless. She hadn't seen the alien who claimed to be in love with her for two years. She didn't think she would ever see him again. Now, with his sudden unexpected appearance, she didn't know what to think.

"What are you doing here?"

Kish pouted. "You don't call, you don't write. How do I know you're doing alright?"

Ichigo glared at him. "We live on different planets! How am I supposed to communicate with you?" Her anger drained away as she realized something. "Wait, how'd you know how to find me?"

Kish floated over to her and tapped her on the nose. "I have my ways, kitten."

Ichigo pulled away. "I'm not your kitten! We haven't even seen each other for two years. And now you suddenly appear in my life again. What is it you want?"

Kish smirked. "Just picking something up."

Ichigo blinked. "Picking something… Oh, do you need more Mew Aqua for your planet?"

Kish shook his head. "Oh no, kitten. My planet is doing quite well. Better than yours actually. No, I'm just getting something of mine I left behind."

"Something you left behind? What'd you forget? And why would you be here? Wouldn't you want to look in Tokyo for- Wait a second, I don't have time to play catch up! I'm running late! Sorry, Kish, we'll have to talk after my class."

A mischievous grin appeared on Kish's face as he watched Ichigo run off. He teleported in front of her, blocking her path.

"K-Kish! Get out of my way! I have to get to class."

The green haired alien laughed. "Oh, you don't need to worry about your classes anymore." He assured her, reaching for something behind his back.

Ichigo looked confused. "I won't? Why?"

Kish pulled out the device Pie had made for him, pointing the gun-like object at Ichigo. "You're dropping out?"

"What-"

Zap!

Kish fired and Ichigo collapsed. He smirked as he caught her, holding her securely in his arms. "You're mine now, kitten." He said, nuzzling her affectionately. "And unlike that stupid Masaya, I won't let you go."

And he teleported away with her.

(A/N: Finally taking matters into his own hands, Kish finally got Ichigo. She's not going to be happy when she wakes up. Especially when she finds out what he has planned for her.)
