A Reprinted Version of A La Mode??
There's been no word on it yet, and I'm questioning wether it's going to happen. As many of us know Kodansha has been reprinting Tokyo Pop's 7 TMM books and combining 2 or 3 of them into Tokyo Mew Mew Omnibus. I was hoping they would do this with A La Mode too, but nothing on their website (or an other website) has confirmed it yet. That leads me to this question:Would you like to see TMM A La Mode reprinted by Kodansha?
Oh, and on a side note, I was wondering if you guys would be interested in starting a caption contest. If you are, just tell me in the comments.

Kiss of A Strawberry: Chapter 3 and 4!
Okay guys, this time I'm posting the next two chapters. But before that, I'll tell you what I think of the story so far. It seems like a good concept to start out with. Afterall, couples that started seeing each other don't always stay together for long. The structure is pretty good too, and it makes me want to keep reading. The whole Kish and Ichigo thing is cute too. However, the things that bugged me were that, it can be very predictable. Althought this fanfic does not have an ending yet, I could predict how some of the events were going to turn out in the story. (The Ayoma bashing is not my favorite part of the story either.) Read on and you might see what I mean.
Chapter 3
Ichigo froze in place at the sight she was seeing. Floating in front of her, just outside her window, was Kisshu. Kisshu, the very alien who tormented her five years ago, turned countless animals and humans into Chimera animals, was here, just grinning his mischievous grin. "W-Wha…H-how can this…w-why are you even…?" Ichigo stuttered as she tried to piece together everything happening right now. Still wearing his signature grin, Kisshu moved forward, and sat down on her windowsill,
"Kitty-cat, it's been such a long time, my my how much you've…grown." Kisshu said as his eyes scanned her up and down. He saw just how more developed and taller Ichigo has gotten, along with her longer cherry hair, she was looking more like a grown woman than ever. And still, her breathtaking beauty didn't tarnish over time. Ichigo, on the other hand, was too busy gazing at the now full-grown Kisshu. He sure has grown a lot these past five years, since he was no longer a short and skinny kid, but much taller, was muscular yet slender framed and looked more like a young man than a young boy. To put it plain and simple, he was handsome.
"K-Kisshu I…I can't believe it's you." Ichigo muttered in shock. Kisshu smirked and stood up, "Believe it Kitten, I'm right here and now." As he stood up, however, his cloth bands to his pants got caught on a nail, and in his hurry, he accidentally tripped and collided with Ichigo. Ichigo squealed as he did so, and was trying to squirm her way out of his weight, "Get off!" she cried out, but Kisshu chuckled and leaned in closer, "Why? I kind of like this little position." He said in a low, flirty tone. As he looked down at her, he noticed by her head was a piece of a ripped photograph. Picking it up, he saw that it was Masaya's face inside, and when he looked around the room, saw more pieces just like it, "What's this all about Kitten?" he asked half-laughingly, but his face fell when he saw the tearstains on her cheeks and her red puffy eyes. "Ichigo, why are you crying, did…something happen with Aoyama-kun?" Kisshu questioned her. Ichigo, unable to hold back any longer, wrapped her arms around him and broke down crying, "K-Kisshu, *sob*…I...*sob*..."
As she sniffled and sobbed, Ichigo spilled out everything that happened to her, from the beginning of the date, to the end when Masaya dumped her. And Kisshu, well, he couldn't believe what he was hearing. That sickeningly perfect human, Masaya Aoyama, broke up with Ichigo? And he thought the two were inseparable. Kisshu's heart pounded with rage how could he? How could he just throw away his precious Ichigo like that? He knew that Aoyama was a fiend to begin with. But Ichigo, his beloved Ichigo, she didn't deserve that. Yet all he could do right now, was wrap his arms around her in a gentle hug.
She didn't mind, she was too busy crying to care. He even stroked through her maroon locks of hair, like petting a cat, just to make her feel better.
Finally, after 30 more minutes of crying her eyes out, Ichigo pulled back and wiped her eyes, "Thank you, Kisshu, for staying here. I know I don't deserve it…" she said sadly, but Kisshu spoke back sternly, "No you listen to me Ichigo; that Masaya was scum to begin with. Yes he may have been the so-called 'perfect boyfriend' of your dreams, but trust me Ichigo, you deserve better than him. You deserve…." Kisshu stopped at that last sentence, not wanting to spill the beans about his feelings for her too soon. Ichigo sniffed and grabbed a tissue, smiling back at Kisshu,
"I know, I know. I should just stop being so gloomy about all this. Yet, me and Masaya have been dating for quite a long time, I just, I don't really know how to move on." Looking down at her as she dried her tears off, Kisshu lifted his hand to gently cup her chin, "Then, how about this?" he said as he gently pressed his lips to hers, catching her completely by surprise. Strangely enough, she wasn't resisting like she used to. In fact, she kind of liked it. It lasted for about five minutes, and then he let go, giving her a gentle smile as he did so, "Ichigo, will you go on a date with me?." Ichigo instantly gasped and pulled back, "Kisshu, I-", "-You don't have to answer right away, you can tell me when you're ready. Think it over." he told her calmly, "A-Are you sure?" Ichigo pondered to him, surprised by his rather gentle demeanor. This was not the Kisshu she once knew five years ago. Pulling out a card with a phone number on it, Kisshu handed it over to Ichigo, "When you're ready to answer, just call okay?". She nodded solemnly and said one more thing to him, "Kisshu...thank you." And with a swish of the wind, he teleported away.
Standing over the park bridge, and gazing into the water, Masaya was looking back over the last couple of days. Truthfully he did feel guilty breaking things off with Ichigo like that, but what else could he do? The truth is, he simply didn't love her the same anymore. After transforming back from Deep Blue and coming back from his near-death experience, everything about him and Ichigo, changed. The realization that he was Deep Blue made him very cautious and worried about his relationship with his red-haired lover. Thoughta about somehow losing control and changing back into Deep Blue made him scared. These past five years didn't help much at all either. Even with Ichigo he was too focused on those dark thoughts. And with that, his love for Ichigo Momomiya, faded away.
"Hey, Aoyama-kun." called a distinctive familiar voice, snapping Masaya out of his trance and making him look around. Looking up, he saw that frightenly familiar face of Kisshu, the Alien sworn enemy of the Mew Mews. His face had a look of serious rage in it's features, and the glow in his eye made Masaya more frightened, "W-What the...What are you doing here?" he gasped in confusion. Narrowing his eyes, the full-grown Alien swooped down and grabbed Masaya by the collar of his shirt, holding him over the edge of the stream, "You, you're the one who broke my sweet Neko's heart." he hissed darkly at the human, who was quivering and struggling to get out of his grasp. Smirking, Kisshu effortlessly threw him several feet across the park, making him land in a pile of thorny bushes. Fortunately for him, his Alien roots left him remarkable invulnerability, so a landing like that left him only a few bruises and scrapes.
Gritting his teeth in dissatisfaction, Kisshu swooped down again and kicked Aoyama in the sides, making him groan, "I'm telling you this once, Masaya Aoyama, never go near Ichigo again!" he yelled at him angrily, then teleported away, leaving the human boy all alone. The only emotion he thought of right now, was regret.
Chapter 4
Back at Café Mew Mew, Ichigo and the gang were getting ready to call it a day. Lettuce, Pudding, and Ichigo helped put away the dishes, Zakuro and Mint were sitting by themselves, as usual, and Berry was busy wiping the counters down. The past five years has changed each of the girls dramatically.
Lettuce was now taller, curvier, and let her hair grow out to her elbows, and now she wore contacts so she won't have to wear glasses anymore. Mint was still short admittedly, but she was growing to look more like a young lady than ever, with her last year of high-school starting after the summer. Zakuro still looked the same, albeit with slightly shorter hair and being a bit taller. Even Berry herself looked different than before, since she was taller and she even had a full bust now, almost bigger than Lettuce, if that was even possible. But most of all, Pudding had changed the most out of all the Mew Mews. Now that she's 15 and starting high school soon, Pudding has became a very pretty young girl with shoulder-length blonde hair, a well-developed figure, and even grew a little taller, though she's still pretty short compared to the others.
"Wow, what a day it's been." Lettuce exhaled as she put the last of the dishes into the sink. "We've haven't had that many customers in weeks, boy what a party." Pudding exclaimed. "Well we're the only ones who could get it done ladies, so we might as well work our very hardest." Mint told the two, all the while sipping tea in her favorite chair. "You're the one to talk Mint, you barely do any work!" Berry chided to the rich girl, who just smirked and went back to sipping her tea, "Why of course I am, I'm supervising."
Lettuce and Pudding laughed a little and turned to Ichigo for a cheery response, but she wasn't saying anything. Ichigo was looking blankly at the ceiling, with a thoughtful look on her face. "Huh, Onee-chan? Earth to Onee-chan?" Pudding chanted to Ichigo, to try and snap her out of her trance. Sighing, Ichigo closed her eyes and looked down, still very much lost in thought. "Hey Ichigo, what's the matter? You're usually very perky on these kinds of days." Berry questioned to the red-haired girl. Reluctantly, Ichigo placed her hand in her front pocket, pulling out a thin green card with the phone number on it. "Ichigo, what's that?" Mint questioned suspiciously. Ichigo at first didn't want to tell them the truth, but their suspicious glares made her relent and sigh.
"I-It's a card, with Kisshu's number on it." Ichigo muttered out, making all of the Mew Mew's gasp. "W-Wha? You're kidding right Ichigo?" Lettuce asked, in an unsure voice. Ichigo sighed and shook her head, "No I'm not Lettuce. Kisshu dropped in and he gave me his card." Mint looked shocked at that, "You mean he's HERE, on planet earth?". Pudding, the only one to actually look happy, went up to Ichigo, "Did he bring Taru-Taru with him?" she asked hopefully, but Ichigo didn't say anything, so she was disappointed. "Sorry for asking, but who's Kisshu?" asked a confused Berry. Zakuro turned her head to her and said, "He was a former enemy of ours from a long time ago. His leader almost tried to destroy the earth." Berry gasped and went for her Berry rod, "Well in that case let's go get him!"
"NO!" Ichigo cried to her, making everyone turn and face her, "He's not evil anymore guys, he's really changed these past five years. A-And he tried to cheer me up after Masaya dumped me. So please guys, promise me you won't hurt him, please?" Lettuce had a look of concern on her face. Why is Ichigo the one defending Kisshu like this? She was his number one target five years ago. "So why do you have his phone number then Ichigo?". Gulping, Ichigo turned red and nervously spilled out, "He…um…asked me on a date." The Mew Mews gasped, again.
"What? You mean he came all this way just to ask you out? So what did you say?" questioned Mint. "Well I didn't give him an answer yet, he told me to call him when I figure it out." Berry went up to Ichigo, "So you're going to tell him 'no' right? Right?". Ichigo gulped again and looked down, "Well no…it's not that I just…uhh…". Pudding's eyes widened, "You mean you're gonna say 'yes'?". Ichigo blushed more and turned away, "So it's true! You ARE gonna say 'yes'! I knew it!" cried Pudding as she danced around Ichigo in joy. Zakuro, who was quiet this whole time, spoke out to the blushing girl, "Either way, it's none of our business whether she decides to go or not. So why don't we all just leave her alone and let her decide for herself." Taking a sigh of relief, Ichigo grabbed the green card and got up from the chair, "Well my shift is over for now, thank you everyone, for your support, ~nya!" she cheered to them as she walked out the door and waved goodbye. As soon as she left, the other Mew Mew's sighed as well.
"Let's hope this doesn't become a disaster." Berry said, the other girls nodding in agreement.
Back at her house, Ichigo was sitting on her bed, looking down at the little green card she was holding. In her mind, she was deciding whether or not to just call Kisshu right now and give him her answer. But the other half of her was arguing no, that it'd be stupid if she just flat out told him. And yet, her little pink cell-phone was sitting right next to her side, so tempting and so resisting. But Ichigo decided, "Sigh, I guess I should just call him now." She muttered as she flipped her phone open and dialed the number.
221-754-6767-0932
What a strange number, Ichigo thought as the phone began to ring on the other line. Just a few minutes later, a voice picked it up, and it sounded strange, "Hello, who is this?" it demanded. Ichigo gulped and took a deep breath, "Um, t-this is Ichigo Momomiya, calling for Kisshu the Alien, is he there?". The voice boomed back to her, "This is a private non-authorized and heavily armed Alien territory, no humans are allowed to be contacting us." Ichigo was disappointed, "Oh, okay then I'll just-".
"-WAIT!" cried a familiar voice who snatched the phone from the other person, "I-Ichigo, is that you? Please forgive me, that was one of the guards here and he probably thought you were a spy." Ichigo giggled into the phone, "Oh it's okay Kisshu, everything's fine, don't worry ~nya!" Smiling at the other end, Kisshu spoke up again, "So my little Kitten, why have you called?". Ichigo got a little nervous when he said that, but bravely she told him, "Well Kisshu, I have the answer that you asked for." Kisshu leaned in closely to hear her,
"I would…like to go on a date with you."

Kisshu, the very alien who tormented her five years ago, turned countless animals and humans into Chimera animals, was here, just grinning his mischievous grin.

Fanfic: Kiss of A Strawberry Chapter 2!
Hey guys! I gave you a few days to read chapter one, so here's chapter 2! Let's review it!
Chapter 2
It was a busy day back on the desert planet for one particular alien. The alien in-question was Kisshu, who was overlooking the landscape of his home. For the first time in five years, the planet was flourishing with life and beauty, no longer a barren wasteland but a planetary paradise. And it was all thanks to that small drop of Mew Aqua. Kisshu remembered that day fully; when his former master Deep Blue went mad and was destroyed along with the rest of the Chimera Animals, and then the Mew Mews nearly lost one of their own. Ichigo. Oh how that name still rung through Kisshu's mind to this day. Even after the passing of five years, he still couldn't get her out of his mind. Since he was now nineteen years of age, Kisshu has had plenty of Alien nobles come up to him to ask him to marry one of their daughters. Not that he was interested of course. While those girls may be pretty and all, they could never compare to the beauty of his cherry haired neko-girl, Ichigo Momomiya.
Pulled out of his thoughts by the sound of a guard calling him, Kisshu turned around to face him, "Master Kisshu, Lord Gateau du Rowa would like to have a word with you." Groaning at the sound of that, Kisshu rolled his eyes but politely dismissed the guard. The meetings he had with Gateau never did work out that well. Yes, Gateau was his maternal uncle (he's the twin brother of Shima, Kisshu's late mother), but Kisshu and him still had some animosity towards one another. Which was why after his parents' demise, Kisshu rejected Gateau's offer to stay at his manor, and instead chose to live with Pai and Tart for the time being. This is also the reason why Kisshu never referred to him as his "uncle", but just as his master. Speak of the devil, Kisshu thought as he met face to face with the great Lord Gateau du Rowa, "Ah, my beloved nephew Kisshu has arrived. Come, meet with your uncle." he called while outstretching his arms.
"Stop it my Lord, just tell me why you've called me here." Kisshu demanded in an annoyed tone, making Gateau grunt and sit back down, "Sheesh, such an ill-tempered whelp, alright I'll tell you why you're here. As you and I are both aware, when you, Pai, and Tart returned with the sample of the Mew Aqua, our planet has been flourishing with lush forests, oceans, and more life than it ever has been," he paused for a moment, then got up and turned to the long glass windows on the walls. Peering out to look at the view outside, he continued his speech, "However, a small group of our people have chosen to go and colonize on the planet known as 'earth'. Why they would go and colonize on a simple planet such as that and abandon our beautiful paradise is beyond me, but they've made up their mind already, and for the past three years they've been living quite peacefully. So that brings up why I've called you here today."
Kisshu looked up at Gateau, who turned his head back at him, "Kisshu, my one and only nephew, I have called you to meet with the alien colony on earth for me." At that statement, Kisshu gasped and his eyes widened, "Earth? You mean, you want to send me there?" Gateau merely smirked and nodded his head, "Why of course, after all, your victory of bringing the mew aqua and restoring our planet has made you quite a hero among our people, so it's only natural for me to send you to the planet to meet with them. You may also bring along Pai and Tart if you wish I mean, they did help you after all." Kisshu, for the first time in years, was actually happy with what his uncle was trying to tell him. He, Kisshu, was actually going to return to Earth! To his one and only Ichigo! He turned around and started to head out the door when Gateau called out to him,
"Before you leave Kisshu, I have one more thing to tell you. For once, at least try to behave elegantly when you get there. I mean, I'd hate to see you make a bad impression of my sister-I mean, your mother." For once, Kisshu ignored that snide comment, not like he used to do, because he was just far too excited about actually being able to go back to the planet earth. Two hours later, once he told Pai and Tart about the exciting news, the trio headed off to the colony ships, and from there, started their journey back to earth…
Back on planet Earth, inside of her bedroom, with tearstained cheeks, Ichigo was venting out her pent up rage from the last two days, "GRRAHH! HOW DARE HE? Why…WHY?" Ichigo yelled at the top of her lungs, as she trashed up her room with her cat claws, and looking at her dresser top, saw the numerous pictures that she and Masaya took over the past five years. When they were still…dating. "Bastard…" Ichigo muttered under her breath, "BASTARD!" she screamed as she pounced on the pictures and ripped them all to shreds, scratching out the smiling faces of Masaya as she did so. She considered burning them, but she might get in trouble with her parents, so this was her only option, "Hmpf, I bet if his face was all jacked up he wouldn't be smiling so much." Ichigo proclaimed as she reached for her sharpie marker and began scribbling all over Masaya's image, "Hehehe, how do you like that now bastard? Hehehe…hehehe.". As she continuously defiled Masaya's face, more tears came streaming down like never-ending rivers.
Ichigo had never felt so much heartache before in her life, not even when her teammates almost died in the battle against Deep Blue, or when both she and Masaya were mere inches away from death. It never affected her that much, since they all turned out alright in the end, but this. This was just, too much for Ichigo to bear. At only 18, her heart was crushed by the one guy who was everything she dreamed about. He was perfect, but was she? Ichigo even got around to thinking that…maybe she was to blame for Masaya dumping her. No, No! That can't be, Ichigo never did anything wrong to upset Masaya, and even the times when she was annoying he'd forgive her right off the bat. What she wondered was why, why would he do this to her, after five years of dating?
"Masaya…I hate you." Ichigo began to sob, "I hate you. I hate you, I hate you, I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU!" now she was really balling, huddled in a fetal position and crying her heart out. Unbeknown to her, a certain shadow was casted outside of her window. Hearing a faint chuckle, Ichigo lifted her head up to look around for the noise. When she looked out the window, all she could do was gasp.
"Good to see you, Ichigo-san."
Chapter 2
It was a busy day back on the desert planet for one particular alien. The alien in-question was Kisshu, who was overlooking the landscape of his home. For the first time in five years, the planet was flourishing with life and beauty, no longer a barren wasteland but a planetary paradise. And it was all thanks to that small drop of Mew Aqua. Kisshu remembered that day fully; when his former master Deep Blue went mad and was destroyed along with the rest of the Chimera Animals, and then the Mew Mews nearly lost one of their own. Ichigo. Oh how that name still rung through Kisshu's mind to this day. Even after the passing of five years, he still couldn't get her out of his mind. Since he was now nineteen years of age, Kisshu has had plenty of Alien nobles come up to him to ask him to marry one of their daughters. Not that he was interested of course. While those girls may be pretty and all, they could never compare to the beauty of his cherry haired neko-girl, Ichigo Momomiya.
Pulled out of his thoughts by the sound of a guard calling him, Kisshu turned around to face him, "Master Kisshu, Lord Gateau du Rowa would like to have a word with you." Groaning at the sound of that, Kisshu rolled his eyes but politely dismissed the guard. The meetings he had with Gateau never did work out that well. Yes, Gateau was his maternal uncle (he's the twin brother of Shima, Kisshu's late mother), but Kisshu and him still had some animosity towards one another. Which was why after his parents' demise, Kisshu rejected Gateau's offer to stay at his manor, and instead chose to live with Pai and Tart for the time being. This is also the reason why Kisshu never referred to him as his "uncle", but just as his master. Speak of the devil, Kisshu thought as he met face to face with the great Lord Gateau du Rowa, "Ah, my beloved nephew Kisshu has arrived. Come, meet with your uncle." he called while outstretching his arms.
"Stop it my Lord, just tell me why you've called me here." Kisshu demanded in an annoyed tone, making Gateau grunt and sit back down, "Sheesh, such an ill-tempered whelp, alright I'll tell you why you're here. As you and I are both aware, when you, Pai, and Tart returned with the sample of the Mew Aqua, our planet has been flourishing with lush forests, oceans, and more life than it ever has been," he paused for a moment, then got up and turned to the long glass windows on the walls.

Why they would go and colonize on a simple planet such as that and abandon our beautiful paradise is beyond me, but they've made up their mind already, and for the past three years they've been living quite peacefully. So that brings up why I've called you here today."
Kisshu looked up at Gateau, who turned his head back at him, "Kisshu, my one and only nephew, I have called you to meet with the alien colony on earth for me." At that statement, Kisshu gasped and his eyes widened, "Earth? You mean, you want to send me there?"

Fanfic: Kiss Of A Strawberry (Chap 1)
Alright guys, here is our first fanfic to read and review. I posted chapter 1, so we can reveiw a chapter at a time. It's called, Kiss of A Strawberry. It takes place 5 years after the Deep Blue was defeeated.
This was not written by me! It was written by PurfectPrincessGirl. She gets the credit fro writing this.
Chapter 1
It was morning here at Tokyo, Japan, and one girl in particular was especially excited to be awake. It was none other than Ichigo of course, waking up with a cheery smile on her pretty face. At eighteen years old, Ichigo Momomiya, fresh out of high school, was meeting with her longtime boyfriend, Masaya Aoyama. Aoyama-kun, he was the ideal boyfriend of any girl's fantasy. Handsome, intellegent, and athletic, he was simply the perfect guy. And Ichigo felt like the luckiest girl in the world to be dating him, she made any girl in her direction envious when she was with him. And today was a day of much importance. It was the five year anniversary of when Deep Blue was defeated, and the earth was saved from destruction. If it weren't for Masaya that day, Ichigo wouldn't even be here.
Standing in front of her mirror, Ichigo checked herself out. At eighteen, Ichigo has grown into quite a lovely young lady. Her body was much curvier and developed, with longer cherry red hair, and she was alot taller than she used to be too. At this age, her Mew Mew powers still existed, and whenever she got excited, scared, or happy, her furry cat ears and tail would pop out like usual. Anyway, Ichigo stared into the mirror as she put on her lipgloss, "Hmm, this color would go great with this eyeliner." she commented as she tied up her hair in two pigtails. She looked in the mirror again and smiled. Perfect, she thought, now all she needs is an outfit for the day. Heading to her dressor, Ichigo opened and looked through the line of clothes. "Too poofy, too short, too long, too flashy..." she murmured as she tossed the clothes aside, "Oh this one is perfect!" she exclaimed as she pulled out a pastel green sundress which was linned in pink, along with a pink sash going across the waist. Pulling it over her, Ichigo put on some light pink open two sandals and lastly, picked up one last accessory.
Her cat collar, the same red ribbon with a gold bell attached, was still in good condition even after five years. Tying it to her neck just like she always did, Ichigo grabbed her purse and headed out the door, "Bye Mama, Bye Papa! See you later!" she called to her parents as she left the house. Since she just graduated from High School, Ichigo still lived with her parents, Shintaro and Sakura, but Ichigo will be attending college in the following year, so for now it was staying with her folks and working at the Cafe Mew Mew for her.
After crossing the streets and reaching the subway trains, Ichigo looked down and checked her watch, 11:35, "GAHH! 11:35? I'm supposed to meet Masaya at 11:30! Curse my Mew Mew ways..." she cursed under her breath, making sure no one in the train heard her little outburst. Once the train reached her destination, Ichigo hurried out and exited the station, looking around for her beloved Aoyama-kun. Low and Behold, there he was, leaning against a lamp-post, holding a gift box. In the past five years, Masaya Aoyama was still as handsome and dashing as before, only looking much more taller and mature than before, "Masaya-chan! Over here!" Ichigo called, making Masaya turn his head to greet her, "Ichigo, there you are, a little late as usual." he said in a teasing tone. Ichigo gave him an annoyed look, but brushed that off immediately when she noticed the brightly colored box he was holding.
"What's in there?" she asked in cat curiousity, but Masaya shook his head at her, "I can't show you yet Ichigo, it's for later." Ichigo pouted, but relented and grabbed a hold of his arm, "Okay then, lets go already!" she chirped to him, looking up and expecting him to smile back. Only, he didn't. Instead, his face looked, blank. It wasn't like Masaya-chan, was he in a bad mood or something? Ichigo couldn't tell, but brushed that off again as she lead him around the town. Store after store they visited, looking at random objects such as clothes, pastries, and even stuffed animals. Not that Ichigo had money to buy them of course, but she loved to just look at them. Once in awhile she would look back at Masaya to see if he would like them too, but again he had that strange blank look. It was out of the ordinary, but Ichigo ignored that for the rest of the date. It looked like he had alot on his mind, but what?
It was sun-down, all the shops were closing and the couple rested on a park bench after a long day of browsing the city, "So Masaya-chan, I had a great time today. What a great way to celebrate the five-year anniversary of our victory!" Ichigo said to him with a laugh. Yet still, when she looked at him, he wasn't even trying to laugh, something was on his mind for sure, but what was it? Why won't he tell her? "Here, open it." he said to her, handing her the gift box. Instinctively, Ichigo tore it open and gasped at what she saw. It was a heart shaped gold locket, with a little strawberry symbol in the middle. Inside it, what she found was a picture of her and Masaya, on each side, "Masaya, this is..this is so beautiful. I don't know what to say..." Ichigo muttered as she tried desperately not to tear up in front of him. "It's so you could...remember me by." Masaya said to her, in a monotone kind of voice.
She turned to him, wanting to thank him, so she leaned in close enough so she could kiss him, only to be stopped by him brushing her off, "Stop it Ichigo, I'm not in the mood." he stated, leaving Ichigo surprised. Why wasn't he not in the mood? What's going on here?, "Look Ichigo, the reason why I brought you here today, wasn't for the five year anniversary, nor was it for a date..." Ichigo looked up at him, waiting for what he was trying to say.
Sighing, Masaya placed both hands on her shoulders, and looked her straight in the eye, "Ichigo...I'm breaking up with you."
At that instant, Ichigo's entire world, shattered into a million pieces.

Fanfic Reveiws?
Hey guys, I think it's time for a new idea for this blog. I've been going to http://www.fanfiction.net/ recently, and I've seen some pretty good TMM fanfics on that website. Though it's nothing official, I was wondering if you guys would want to start a weekly story review with me. Here's how it would work:
*Me, (or one of you guys) would pick out a TMM story and we could read a chapter every week.
*We would review that chapter here.
* If for some reason you could not access fanfiction.net, I would post the chapter here.
* Once we finished the fanfic, I would start a knew page titiled story archives where I would post the name of the story and the author. (I will not take any credit for a fanfic I didn't write.)
I have one fanfic that I'm really enjoying so far, so I would pick out the first fanfic to read on this blog. So what do you say? Would you like to start?

Kodansha: My Review
If you haven't read the TMM Omnibus Books yet, now would be the time. I have recently just finished reading books 1 and 2, and I was quite impressed. I liked all the graphics and dialouge in the book. There was even a little key in the back that gave the meaning to some Japanese words and phraces in the book. I've never actually seen a TMM book made by the other publisher Tokyo Pop, but I've seen from some reviews that the Kodansha version is better. (You should check out Hika Yagami's reviews. She made Youtube videos about them!) So which do you like better, Kodansha's version of TMM, or Tokyo Pop's version? And would you like to see TMM A La Mode be re-printed by Kodansha?

Aren't they nice tea cups? Although it's ironic I couldn't find an image of a mug with Mint on it. :P
