REVIEW when it's over! :D

Ichigo stood shakily, her eyes unbelieving. She couldn't understand. Why did Kish want her to go with him? Kish was getting closer, his eyes wild with a mix of desire and frustration. Suddenly, an odd look came over him, transforming him into something she was starting to fear.

"If you don't come with me, Ichigo, then I'll kill you." His voice was angry, and his dagger materialized in one hand. Ichigo gasped in fright and leapt up onto the wall behind her. Kish was right behind her at every turn, appearing and disappearing in front of her. Finally, she took a turn into a construction zone, stopping to catch her breath. She was afraid. Very afraid. Panting, she doubled over for a moment. When her breath had somewhat returned, she turned her head to see where Kish was. He advanced from behind her, walking slowly. Ichigo pulled her pendant from her pocket, kissing it once for luck.

"MEW MEW STRAWBERRY, METAMOR-" She began, but Kish was quicker. With a single, fluid movement, he knocked the pendant from her hand into his waiting grip with his dagger.

"I'll keep this for a while, kitten." He said, smirking. Ichigo huffed and cradled her hand close to her. She began to back up a few steps. Fear crept up her spine slowly, and she couldn't stop the feeling of utter helplessness. She couldn't transform. How was she supposed to defend herself against Kish?!

"I like the way you look when you want to win, kitten, but when you're scared, you're even cuter." Kish said, that same smirk painted on his alien features. Each step Ichigo took backwards, Kish took one forwards.

"It's not too late to change your mind, Ichigo." He murmured, almost endearingly. "Come with me, and I'll save you."

He retrieved his dagger from the ground, inspecting it carefully for damage.

"I don't want to kill you, you know. This is only because your stubborn." Kish raised the dagger into the air, and Ichigo took another step back. That was a mistake. She fell over a broken piece of wood, and with a cry, collapsed to the ground. Not good... I think I sprained my ankle... She thought, rubbing said ankle and wincing in pain.

"It's just too bad you're stubborn, isn't it?" Kish murmured, suddenly grasping the hilt of the dagger in both hands. He charged forward.

Ichigo closed her eyes tightly, waiting for impact, waiting for the pain she knew would arrive soon.

"ICHIGO!" Came a voice, stopping Kish in his tracks. He turned around slowly, and noticed Masaya standing behind them out of breath.

"Masaya!" Ichigo cried in relief. Kish rolled his eyes at her tone and sighed.

"Here's the bother." He muttered, twirling his sword around. Ichigo shook herself quickly. Masaya would be no match for Kish. Kish had powers, and weapons. Masaya would be killed!

"Masaya, get out of here! It's dangerous!" She called desperately. She watched himself gather himself, taking a deep breath.

"I didn't come here to run away." Masaya murmured.

"But... no... You can't..." Ichigo whispered helplessly. Kish smirked again.

"If so, I'll send you away real quick, human boy!" He spat, pointing his sword at him. Ichigo took a step towards him, her arms out imploringly.

"Kish, stop that! Now! Masaya, run away!!" Her voice was strained, and she fought for dominance over her fear. An odd look passed over Masaya, and he looked down. Kish's smirk only widened.

"Yes, human, just listen to her. Come on, you know you can't fight with us." He cooed, and Ichigo felt anger rising.

"Kish!! STOP IT!" She yelled, her voice shooting through several octaves in fright. Masaya looked up, his eyes filled with shame.

"I have no means of fighting you..." He muttered. Kish smiled in success. Ichigo could only watch in horror as Aoyama Masaya turned and ran away from her.

Left her to die.

"Now, kitten, it's just you and me, like the way it's supposed to be. I told you that humans are useless." Kish laughed, gesturing to Masaya's disappearing back. "Spineless worms, all of them."

Ichigo scowled and pulled herself to her feet shakily. She rubbed away the tears that had gathered in her normally bright eyes furiously.

"I'm not a spineless worm." She muttered, her eyes burning with anger.

"You aren't human, Ichigo. You're a new form of creature, closer to perfection then any of these stupid things you're trying to protect. You're more like me." Kish murmured, walking closer to her, his hand outstretched. Gently, he touched a finger to her shoulder.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!" Ichigo snapped, slapping his hand away. Kish's face twisted in fury, his hand curling into a fist.

"You'll pay for that, kitten. Oh... oh yes you will." His voice sent chills of fear down her back. His sword appeared back in his hand, and Ichigo blanched. He was really going to hurt her, wasn't he?

"If you go near her, you're going to pay." Came a familiar voice. Ichigo looked up abruptly to see a figure standing on a lamp post. His blue trenchcoat waved in the slight breeze. The blonde hair she knew so well danced in the wind, blowing around a handsome face. His eyes opened, revealing the startling blue that sent shivers down her back every time she saw them.

The Blue Knight.

Short first chapter, but yeah, had to get to the cliffie. lol.
