56Ichigo sat on her knees, watching as Kisshu confidently confirmed that Deep Blue would not and never would have her. She felt a deep, passionate flutter in her heart that used to only happen with Masaya, but in this moment, she could not think completely straight. Kish—Kisshu… he was the enemy! This wasn't allowed! They could not love eachother, they could not be friends! She tries to grasp onto this fake reality, because in that moment, she had no idea what to think anymore… All Ichigo could do was sit there, watching with tearing eyes, as if she collapsed on the cold spaceship's floor.
Her eyes widened in complete and utter shock as Kisshu thrust a Dragon Blade towards Deep Blue's chest, determined to protect her. It all happened too fast for her eyes to track.
"KISSHU!"Ichigo screamed as the harsh reality struck her, but all was silent.
Kisshu's body was pushes limply towards her in such an uncaring manner, as if nothing more than a squashed bug beneath someone's careless foot with disgust.
Not knowing what else she could do, the Mew team leader held Kisshu's fading body close to her own, streaks of violent tears flowing freely down her soft cheeks, until at last, the alien was still. His skin's temperature reminded her of cold ice, the kind which animals were trapped under until they, too, drowned and died.
"KISSHU!" Ichigo screamed as she woke up. Looking around, she realized that it was still before that the sun had just now faded below the horizon, only a pitiful hour since she faded into a fitful asleep in her pink hued bed. She looked around and noticed that the picture of Masaya and her, hugging each other with cheerful smiles as they stood in front of a Ferris wheel as the feline-like mew clutched a pink balloon, was no longer at her bedside table. It took a few minutes of absolute confusion before she snapped into fully awake mode and the memories of the past few months, a year after the Final Battle, came flooding back to her. She began to cry as she remembered only a few weeks ago that her Masaya had been killed in a car crash, his body burnt to ash when the car was set afire, all because of that stupid drunk truck driver.
Now all Ichigo could do was sit in her bed, shivering from a solemn mixture of cold and sadness. She thought she saw a rustle of the thick, shadow laced leaves outside her bedroom window, but shook her head,' It's just a squirrel, stop being paranoid.'
-{( At The Spaceship... )}-
Kisshu sat on his dark green bed inside the spacecraft, tossing wildly as he tried to get some sleep, settling every which way in hopes of finding a perfect position. It had been this way since he left Earth and its loveable kitten, and he was getting restless from being so far away. The green haired boy groaned in tired frustration as he heard his brothers enter the room.
"You sound and smell like a Chimera Animal." Taruto remarked, a smug smirk on his slightly more matured face, ignoring the older alien's glare as he peaked from behind Pai's tall body, closing the door behind them both.
Pai shook his head warily at his still extremely immature teammates and rolled his eyes,"I know why you're disturbed, Kisshu. Taruto and I talked it over (Yes, without you) and we've come to a conclusion that you'll probably be very happy with. The ship will be arriving at Earth in four hours, so try to sleep so in your mind, we get there faster."As he walked back out of the room, dragging a reluctant Tart with him, but not before the young alien could grab a strange stuffed alien and stare accusingly at Kish.
"I knew you stole this!" he said, proud that he figured out the mystery, before Pai grabbed his hand and finally teleported them both away, not forgetting to shut the door.
Kisshu was practically jumping with joy before the two others had even finished speaking. 'I know EXACTLY why you two want to go to Earth as well!' Kisshu thought with an inward laugh and began to yell at the top of his lunges in a mocking, sing song voice," TARUTO AND PUDDING SITTIN' IN A TR-" he gulped guiltily as Taruto teleported behind him and covered his mouth, hissing in embarrassment and irratation,"SHUT UP!"Kisshu just laughed loudly into his hand and Pai rolled his eyes as he heard the two all the way from down the hall.
"This is going to be a longgggg trip…" Pai mumbled, rubbing his aching head with one hand as he began to steer the ship back on course towards Earth with the other, having gone off track from his absence while explaining the situation to Kisshu and talking it out over a late dinner with the redhead, as he had honorably nicknamed the child.
