The End of His World

Disclaimer: Don't own anything, so don't sue.

The third and final part in my Tokyo mew mew trilogy. You should read 'Trapped in Serenity' and 'Against Each Other' first though, otherwise a lot of things aren't going to make sense.

So, this is finally the awaited final of my trilogy, in this part I finally get to put Kish and Ichigo into lots of other embarrassing situations, and you, my people, finally get to read who Eoin is. As you probably noted, I tried putting a bit of Retasu/Pai and Mint/Ryo on 'Against each other', and I can easily admit it didn't turn out well. Probably would've turned out better if the story would've been longer, so I could've really tackled all the issues behind mew/alien relationship, along with mew/her boss relationship. But then again, I got Ichigo and Kish to work with, so what else do I really need?

Sorry about the slightly 'gayishh' part before. Sorry if it offended anyone, I mean. I'm a bit of a 'free soul' (or so everyone says) so I thought of putting it there, as it is something I can use to bring a rift between Ichigo and Kish. Which I love, as you've probably noted…

This is AU, as you probably noticed, but I hope it's still readable. Give me at least two weeks after each chapter before you start nagging about updates… I got four other stories to update too.

Umm…have fun reading this, will ya?

And review! It makes the chapters post faster, you know?

---------------------------------

Kish sat at the head of the table, his father sitting on his right, with Laa-Laa standing behind the emperor in the shadows. When the emperor spoke, his voice was strained. The council members seemed unaffected. Either they didn't realize the danger or didn't care. Kish betted on the first, while inside shaking his head. Sometimes the council members could act like mindless sheep.

"We have to act on the matter now!" The emperor said harshly, his low voice echoing in the big council hall. The debating council members froze. "The rebel armies are closing in on Nebulosa, and have already taken over Azoth."

"WHAT?" The council members bellowed, Azimuth, Azoth's representative being the loudest. Kish raised an eyebrow at the represantive. The quality of chairmen had become too bad lately. All of them were old men who hadn't even visited their states in many years, instead deciding to enjoy the easy life of Nebulosa.

Kish noticed his father nodding at him from the side and stood up. Everyone silenced. He didn't often speak in meetings like these, and when he did, it usually was something serious.

"Hearing what chairman Azimuth's reaction was, am I to take this as that you don't know what is happening in your state? The few last years I've noticed the state and their represantives drifting apart."

"Considering the resent happenings you must all travel to your point of origin and send one battalion on earth, to be ruled under me." The chairmen started to whisper in outrage and fear. Outrage at actually being forced to do something, and fear at what this could mean.

"It has come to my attention that… Eoin… will be trying to take control over earth in the few following months."

"I hereby declare, as the commander of Nebulosa's armies, that we are in war." Exited whispers followed Kish's statement, as the chairman started to plan the upcoming war.

"This meeting is adjourned."

---------------------------------

"Got an old Smiths' record
and I put it on endlessly.
To mourn a lethal fascination
of a girl named Valerie."

Kish sung softly, his voice low and his gaze locked on the girl below him. He was sitting on the roof of one of the school buildings, eating his lunch bento. He revelled in the soft wind and the slightly chilly autumn sun. Ichigo was sitting down on a blanket with her friends by an oak tree. She shivered slightly and Kish flinched.

Before he would have walked over, offered his jacket and cherished the slightest possibility to get a thank you kiss. But he couldn't do that now. He had to stop acting like the lovesick puppy he felt like and start acting more like the commander of the army of Nebulosa, Kisshu Kaibutsu.

Kish sighted as Ichigo's gaze blanked and she stopped in the middle of eating the strawberry, the berry almost touching her lips. Reiko, her friend asked if everything was fine. She didn't answer. She had done that a lot recently. Stopped in the middle of what she was doing, just to remember something that reminded her of him.

Kish didn't know whether to joy that he had such an impact on her, or cry because he was hurting her so much. Kish sighted again.

And when did I start sighting anyway? When did my happy exterior whither and die?

Kish sent out his senses to sense any enemies, like he did every five minutes. He felt nothing. Kish packed away the bento and threw it into a nearby thrash can. Watching over Ichigo ripped out his heart, but it had to be done, and he couldn't give the responsibility to anyone else. Not after what happened to Xara. And there was a possibility Xian would try to assassinate Ichigo, her still being officially Kish's fiancée.

Kish pushed his bangs out of his eyes and gathered his school uniform jacket. The soft black fabric glimmered in the light softly. Kish shook his head. The black fitted him maybe too well. The girl's in Ichigo's school tended to notice him a bit too much for his tastes. He pushed his bangs to the sides again. Now that they weren't in their usual strings the landed freely on his face, getting into his eyes.

He resisted the urge the urge to scratch his ear. His human ear.

There is no way in hell I'm going to scratch it. I'm no animal. But god-damn-it did the ears scratch!

Kish walked to the other side of the roof and jumped swiftly to the tree next to it. He landed on the branch like cat before sliding down along the trunk and landing on the ground with a small thump. Some of the junior high-school students that had been studying under a nearby tree looked startled at him but relaxed who it was. He always ate one the roof so the juniors who often ate under the tree had gotten used to him jumping from the roof to the three.

Kish walked along the wall for a while before coming to the entrance. He leaned on one of the pillars by the entrance doors, enjoying the cool stone in his back and the slight breeze that seemed to pass by the archway. Of course it wasn't as windy as in the roof, but Kish took what he could. He would have to wait ten or so minutes before Ichigo's lunch was over and he had to avoid certain places in the school so that the mew mew wouldn't spot him, but so that he could still make sure she was safe.

He was startled out of his broody thought considering the resent revelations about the rebel army and Eoin by nearing steps. He automatically glanced up and then resumed his brooding, before realizing what he had seen. His eyes widened slightly as he forced himself resist the urge to look at Ichigo again. His thoughts were in turmoil and going faster than in the last heated weeks.

"…Ichigo! You listening me?" Reiko asked from Ichigo, shaking her hand in front of the girls face. Ichigo frowned before smiling slightly.

"Sorry, Reiko-Chan. I've had a lot in my mind lately, that's all." She said moving some of her bang behind her ear. Reiko snorted.

"Well, yeah. I've noticed, you know?" She said almost sarcastically. Ichigo blushed and looked away.

"Yes. I guess I've been a little distracted lately." Ichigo added.

"Little? Yeah right. What's been with you lately, anyway? Is it because of Masaya's disappearance—?" Reiko inquired.

"No! It's not him!" Ichigo blurted out before she realized she had spoken. She had said it quite loud and some of the other students were staring at her. Ichigo covered her mouth with her hand while blushing slightly. Reiko seemed quite surprised it wasn't because of Masaya's disappearance, and then smirked mischievously at Ichigo.

"Not Masaya? Ah, well, then, who is it? Come on girl, I'm insulted! You got guy trouble and you don't even tell your best pals?" Yaone, Reiko's sister said. Ichigo forced the slight blush off her cheeks. She cast a sidelong glance at the school ground, when her breath hitched in her throat. Against the pillar was leaning a boy. His resemblance to Kish was uncanny, Ichigo decided.

But Kish would never step into a human school of course, and this boy had human ears, his eyes covered by black bangs that looked slightly greenish in the sunlight. A coincident, she decided and dismissed the thought of her head, turning back to her friends.

"It's not like that. Kish… He… He's different. He actually cared you know. But because were from totally living on different planets it could never work." She sighted, leaving her friends looking slightly clueless behind her. Yaone and Reiko looked at each other.

"From different planets? Well, damn, it isn't news exactly that women are from Venus and men from mars." Yaone huffed. Reiko slapped her on the back of her head.

"Clean your mouth, Yaone-Chan! Mama would scorn you if she were here." Reiko snapped. Yaone huffed.

"Well, good thing she isn't here then." Yaone said her voice full of scorn, before hurrying after Ichigo. Reiko stood still for a moment before running after her sister, frowning and deep in thought.

Kish threw a look over his shoulder, leaning on the side slightly so he could see from behind the pillar. Phew! That had been close. A little too close for comfort. Kish sighted, summoning his old smirk on his face. Not time to mope now. Kish pulled his shin back so that he was looking at everybody with s slight downward angle. He closed his eyelids slightly, and peered though his long black eyelashes at some girls sitting near the fountain. Some of the girls turned to look at him, giggling and blushing furiously.

Kish smirked to himself. He, I still got it.

Kish absent minded sent his senses around to check the perimeter, and was surprised, when he this time felt something.

Oh shit.

--------------------

Ichigo cursed to herself as she rummaged through her locker. She moved her biology books to the side to take a look at the papers under them, while balancing her back bag over one shoulder and her Chemistry books with the other. She sighted when the papers she had just discovered were buried by her Math book.

She leaned her forehead against the blue locker door and closer her eyes for a second, while trying to stifle a sob.

Gods, why did everything have to be so difficult today…? First I get interrogated by Reiko and Yaone, of something I really didn't want to talk about… Then I can't even find my Chemistry essay. And to top it off, it's so blasted hot!

She opened her eyes slightly, looking at the mess that was the bottom of her locker while wiping a tear from the corner of her eye.

God, Kish, when did it come to this?

Ichigo sniffed, forcing the pile in the back of her throat and the tremors that threatened to shake her body off. She had so gotten tired of crying over this. She wasn't going to cry anymore, god damn it!

Ichigo drew a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. She let go of her biology books, letting them drop on top of the pile of school things she had at the bottom of her locker. She pushed her pink locks behind her ear, rearranged the shoulder strap of her back bag on her shoulder. She drew another deep breath, raised her chin high and put her chemistry books in her back. She searched for the other shoulder strap behind her back, grabbed it, and situated it on her other shoulder so that the back bag was on her back evenly. She pulled the trinkets of her wrists and hanged them on a loose screw on the left side of her locker, before making a pile of the books hindering her, mainly the two heavy books in biology, and the math book that was hardly a book, more like a brick really.

Ichigo smiled slightly to herself as she succeeded in avoiding a mental breakdown and started to shuffle through the pile of papers. Her eyes frowned as her eyes settled on the bright red marks on the corner of her papers, her mind pulling out from the haze it had been in the last couple of weeks. Her eyes widened as she looked at her latest English paper.

A big red F for Failure stood in the right corner of the paper, along with a note of the teachers concern for her 'recent lack of concentration and focus'. Ichigo flinched, but continued to shuffle through the papers. She had been so out of it lately that school work just hadn't seemed to matter. Not with being Mew Mew almost fulltime. She missed a lot of her classes weekly because she was summoned to the café.

She worked at the café every day after school, only to get home, take a shower and pass out on her bed. What ever amount of money she had succeeded to spare because of her working at the café, she had no time to use, being too exhausted to shop on the evenings. She finally found the essay that she had done in the middle of the night in frantic panic the day before, and slammed the locker door closed.

The sound echoed in the half full hallway, but nobody paid any heed. Not like nobody was actually gentle with their lockers. She rolled up the essay that would probably grant her a weak 'accepted' with all the work she put into it and sighted.

"I really need a holiday." She muttered to herself sullenly.

"I agree. How about you take it right now?" A voice from her left she recognized said, Ichigo's head snapping on other side as she turned to look at the newcomer.

There, standing in a school outfit, human ears, purple eyes and green hair pulled into a pony-tail, was Xian.

She sneered at Ichigo down her nose, smiling with a grin that didn't suit her face. Ichigo gulped her eyes still slightly wide with shock. Xian took a firm hold of Ichigo's upper arm and started to drag the pink haired mew out of the school doors. Ichigo tried to pull her arm back to herself, but was stopped by Xian's surprisingly strong hold and her fingernails digging into her arm. Ichigo hissed in pain, while Xian threw her an amused look.

"Now, now, mew Ichigo, no need to struggle. One wrong move and I'll have my men to kill your classmates." Xian giggled. Ichigo's vision started to haze on the edges, the exhaustion she had been holding at bay creeping in. She had however, time to see the shocked face's of Reiko, Yaone and few others of their classmates as they heard Xian call her Mew Ichigo.

Some part of her wanted to cry that they knew.

The other part wanted to snort at their shocked gazes. Really, it couldn't have been that hard to figure out could've it? She was called Ichigo just as Mew Ichigo, she had pink hair only a shade lighter than mew Ichigo, and she disappeared mysteriously on the exact intervals Mew Ichigo appeared.

Really.

Ichigo sighted. Somehow she got the feeling this was going to be a really long day.

A/N: All right! It's finally up! Now remember to review! I was actually quite shocked when the last chapter of 'Against Each Other' had been read 500 times, but I only got two reviews. Huh…
