'I didn't get to say goodbye to him, I could only save Masaya... I failed...' Ichigo silently cried in her bed. 'Why... I wanted to save him too! I failed!' She continued to cry into her pillow, memories of his face flooding into her mind. Masaya and her had broken up when he moved to America after the aliens had left. There's nothing for her here anymore. She only has the mew mews and she didn't feel like hanging out with them anymore. She doesn't even show up for work or answer there worried text messages. She shut herself off from the world and didn't want to do anything anymore.
Kisshu sat up in his bed, wiping his eyes from sleep and tears. Dreams of Ichigo consumed him now. He knew she was dead but he couldn't stop thinking of her. He sighed and got off his black sheeted bed. He needed to take a shower for he was in a cold sweat from the nightmares. His dreams would be happy one moment with them kissing, hugging and having a great time together. Then it would switch to awful images of her limp body in Masaya's arms. Her pale face and closed eyes. He remembered her in only her mew form now since that is what he last saw of her.
He dragged his feet to his bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. His green hair was greasy and face more pale from lack of nutrients. He growled at his reflection and turned the shower on and and tripped his clothes off. He needed new clothes he reminded himself.
Kisshu slipped into the shower and stood under the shower head for a long while before he began to wash himself. He started with his hair, massaging his scalp. he rinsed his head, his hair clinging to the side of his face. He began to scrub his body with soap trying to forget Ichigo but he couldn't. He sighed and rinsed himself and leans against the cool wall of the shower. He shivered at the cold touch, but it allowed his mind a moment of rest from painful thoughts. Kisshu groaned and shut his eyes when the memory's of Ichigo came back to him.
He turned the shower off and stepped out into the steamy room. He wiped the fog off the bathroom window. He sighed and wrapped a towel around his bare waist and walked out to his room and put new clothing on himself and flopped back down on his bed.
Kisshu heard his door swing open and a new food tray was set on the night stand.
"At least you took a shower" Taruto's voice was herd and kisshu turned to look at his little friend. "You were really starting to stink."
"I want to go back to Earth, too see Ichigo's grave" Kisshu mumbled. Taruto let out a sigh, hearing the request for the hundredth time.
"I'll talk to Pai about it okay? you need closure, don't you Kisshu?" Taruto asked, a worried expression on his face. Kisshu only nodded in return. Taruto left the room, mumbling a quiet; 'eat the damn food' and left. Kisshu sat up in bed and looked at the foor. 'strawberry's? Really Taruto? Maybe that's just for encouragement, linking it to Ichigo'. He grabbed the bowl and started to eat them.
"Ichigo's lips tasted like Strawberry's" Kisshu sighed and set the half eaten bowl aside. "Please allow me to go Pai. I need too..."
Okay that was the first remade chapter of 'complications between the lovers' Yay!
