Kish sighed and looked up at the ceiling. I wonder what Ichigo thought when she saw that I, or Kart, was gone.
"Anything wrong?" Kish sat up and looked at Pai.
"Nope, just thinking."
"It better not be about that Mew. She's gotten you hurt enough." Pai nodded at the small cut that still remained on Kish's chest.
"Aw, I'm fine," Kish said then laid back down on his bed.
"You sure?" Pai asked, and Kish nodded. "Then we're going to Earth in an hour. Hope you're ready for a fight." Kish sat up and smirked.
"I'm always ready for a fight."
"Ichigo?" Ichigo looked over at Mint who rolled her eyes. "He's fine. He's probably resting from Masaya."
"But why was he gone? Where did he go? And how did he sneak out?"
"Dunno. Don't worry about it though," Ryou said, walking by. He then walked back to her and handed her a piece of paper. "Go get these and this time, no goofing off." Ichigo nodded then went to the dressing room and changed into a pink tank top, and black shorts, with pink leggings under them. She then walked out.
"I know he said not to, but I'm tired," Ichigo told Masha. She walked into the park and sat down.
"What's up?" Ichigo jumped and looked over her shoulder at Kart. He was wearing a black t-shirt and black jeans. He jumped over the bench and sat down. "Did I scare you?"
"Uh, no. I just thought you were Shirogane," she said as he leaned back and closed his eyes.
"Skipping work?" he asked, opening one eye to look at her. She blushed and looked away.
"N-no! I'm only taking a break." Kart then sat up and pulled an apple out of one of the bags.
"So you're skipping work," he said taking a bite out of the apple.
"Whatever floats your boat," she said. She leaned back and closed her eyes. She listened to him eat for a while then asked, "How come you haven't been at school." She heard him bite into the apple, and she opened her eyes to look at him. He was glaring towards the fountain. Ichigo followed his gaze and gasped when she saw Masaya glare towards them.
"Ichigo, can you do me one favor, please?" Kart asked not looking away from Masaya who as walking towards them.
"What?" Ichigo asked. Kart only then turned to look at her.
"Please don't hate me," he said. She looked at him confused. He then quickly kissed her. Her eyes widened, and Kart looked at her sadly. He then pulled away and looked at Masaya who was waking away. Kart then stood up and looked at Ichigo. "Gomen." She watched as he walked in the opposite direction from Masaya. She quickly stood up, ran after him, and grabbed his arm.
"Why did you kiss me?" she asked. He bit his lip and looked away.
"Because that's the only thing I could think of that would keep him away. I don't feel like fighting."
"Are you still hurt?"
"No, I'm fine."
"You can't heal that fast if you're a human." Kart growled and looked over at a tree, and Masaya jumped down, still with a real sword. Kart grabbed Ichigo and pushed her behind him.
"Still looking for trouble?" Kart asked.
"Hai, you. Stay away from Momomiya-chan." Masaya charged towards them, and Kart picked Ichigo up and jumped into a tree. Kart then flinched, and Ichigo looked up at him worried.
"You okay, Kart?" Ichigo asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Stay here," Kart put Ichigo down on the tree then jumped down in front of Masaya. Kart flinched and put a hand to his chest.
"Still hurt from the other day? Or are you faking?" Kart glared at Masaya then sighed and made one of Kish's dragon swords appear in his hand. He flinched and took at deep breath and summoned the other. Ichigo looked down at him shocked.
"I'm not faking, nor am I gonna let you hurt me again. I got my butt chewed out for that."
"Kart!" Kart smirked and looked up at Ichigo. He then jumped up by her. He wrapped an arm around her and pulled her close.
"I won't hurt him, Ichigo. Only for you. But I won't allow him to hurt me either," he whispered.
"H-how did you get those?" Ichigo asked gently running her finger over one of his sword's blade.
"Neat trick I found out. Though it hurts, a lot." He then jumped down and glared at Masaya. "State what you want then go."
"Stay away from Momomiya-chan!" Masaya said then dove at him. Kart dodged then was about to slit Masaya's back then looked up at Ichigo and instead jumped away. Masaya turned around to face him. "This is my last warning before you regret it. Stay away from Momomiya-chan."
"Never," Kart said jumping back. Masaya tried to hit him again, but Kart jumped into a tree. "I'll never stay away from Ichigo! I also won't hurt her friends unlike you!" Kart then kneeled down on the tree and started panting. Ichigo looked at Masaya and saw he was about to attack Kart. Kart looked up and jumped over to Ichigo. He then made his swords disappear and picked Ichigo up. He then jumped down and ran. He ran to the entrance of the café and put Ichigo down. He then sat down on the ground.
"Are you okay?" Ichigo asked kneeling down by him.
"Yeah, b-but I have to go n-now," he said and stood up. He then walked away. It wasn't until he heard Ichigo walk in did he teleport to the ship, now back as Kish. He laid down on his bed, panting. When he heard someone coming he sat up and slowed his breathing to normal.
"Ready?" Tart asked. Kish nodded and stood up. He summoned his swords and smirked.
"This is gonna be fun," he said, and they teleported to Earth.
The café doors blew open, and Ichigo glared at the aliens.
"What are you guys doing here?!" She yelled. Kish shrugged and floated in the air on his back. She glared at him then transformed and tried to hit him with her attack. He dodged it and started laughing.
"You have such a bad temper, Koneko-chan!" he laughed.
"Shut up! Tell us what you're doing here!" Ichigo said as the other Mews transformed.
"Dunno, just came to bug you I guess," Kish said, still floating on his back. Tart rolled his eyes then summoned parasites and threw it at the ground in front of the mews. The Mews jumped back but the vines got Pudding and Lettuce. Pai and Tart flew and grabbed them then teleported away. Kish sighed and sat up and looked down at the other three mews.
"Where did you take them?!" Ichigo yelled.
"I didn't take them anywhere, Pai and Tart did." Ichigo rolled her eyes then gasped at something behind Kish. He looked over his shoulder and quickly summoned his swords and blocked Masaya. Kish then jumped back and flew up. He glared down at Masaya, who transformed into the Blue Knight. This might be a problem.
"What are you doing here?" Ichigo asked Masaya, rather rudely.
"I'm protecting the Earth," Masaya said and attempted to hit Kish. Kish glared at him.
"You weren't protecting the Earth a while ago."
"I was protecting you from a monster," Masaya said keeping his sword pointing towards Kish.
"Kart isn't a monster!" Ichigo yelled at him.
"Ribbon ZaCross Pure!" Kish, who had forgotten about the other Mews, barely dodged Zakuro's whip.
"Ribbon Minto Echo!" Kish knocked her arrow away then dove down and tried to grab her. Blue Knight got in front of her and stabbed Kish. Kish flew back and glared down at him.
"Kish?" Tart asked. Kish shrugged.
"I'm fine. Let's just get done with what we came here to do," Kish said, and Tart nodded. He then wrapped a vine around Ichigo, and Blue Knight went to cut her down. Kish and Pai grabbed Zakuro and Mint and teleported. When Blue Knight got Ichigo free, Kish and Pai were back.
"What have you done to them?!" Ichigo yelled.
"You'll find out soon, Kitten. Though you may not like it." Kish laughed and teleported before she could hit him with her attack. Pai and Tart were already gone.
"Shirogane!" Ichigo yelled running to the basement. She gasped when no one was there. "What now?!" Ichigo ran out before Masaya could stop her.
"You okay?" Tart asked. Kish opened his eyes and looked at him.
"Yeah. How many times do I have to tell you that?" Kish asked sitting up.
"Until I know you are really okay." Kish rolled his eyes and pushed him away.
"I said I'm fine. Get over it. It's just a cut."
"It isn't a cut! He stabbed you in the stomach!" Tart yelled.
"I said I'm fine!" Kish yelled back.
"You can't be fine! You got-"
"He's fine. Now stop yelling or you might wake them up." Kish and Tart rolled their eyes but stopped arguing.
"What are we going to do with them again?" Tart asked, following Pai to his lab. Kish was floating behind them.
"Dunno. Pai really didn't say. So what are you gonna do to them?"
"It's a s-u-r-p-r-i-s-e," Pai spelled then disappeared into his lab.
"S-u-r-p-r-i-s-e?" Tart spelled.
"Surprise, baka," Kish said then bobbed Tart on the head and teleported away.
"I'm not a baka!" Tart yelled to no one. He then also teleported away.
"What's the matter?" Ichigo looked up to see Kart standing in front of her.
"It-It's complicated," she said and looked away. Kart sat on the ground beside her and pulled out some tickets.
"Wanna go?" Ichigo looked at them then at him.
"Where?"
"Magic Springs," he said. Ichigo looked at him confused. "You haven't been there?"
"No."
"Trust me. It's fun. So you wanna go?"
The café doors blew open and I heard the customers scream. I looked and they had run out the back way, or were going there. I looked back at the doors and saw the aliens floating there. 'What could they possibly want?'
"What are you guys doing here?!" I yelled. Kisshu shrugged and was floating on his back. 'What a baka. We have more important things to do. Like trying to find Kart. I wonder if he's okay.' I transformed and tried to hit him with my attack. He flew up and started laughing. 'What does he have to laugh about? They're going to get beaten again.'
"You have such a bad temper, Koneko-chan!"
"Shut up! Tell us what you're doing here!" The other Mews transformed and stood beside me. We all had our weapons out.
"Dunno, just came to bug you I guess," Kisshu said, still somehow floating on his back. 'We don't have time for this!' I saw the chibiko then summon an octopus thing. He threw it at the ground in front of us, and I jumped back. I heard Lettuce shriek and saw the vines were wrapped around her. Before I could help her, the purple haired alien grabbed her and disappeared. I saw the munchkin do the same for Pudding. 'What are they going to do?' I heard Kisshu sigh, and I saw him smirking down at me.
"Where did you take them?!"
"I didn't take them anywhere, Pai and Tart did." I rolled my eyes then looked at the door. I gasped when I saw Masaya standing there, still with that sword. 'Where did he even get that thing?' I looked up and saw Kisshu turn around summon those swords. 'Those are just like Kart's.' He then jumped back and flew up and glared down at him. I also found myself glaring at him. He came and stood in front of me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him, hoping I sounded as rude as I wanted to be.
"I'm protecting the Earth," he said then jumped up and tried to hit Kisshu. He flew up higher, though.
"You weren't protecting the Earth a while ago!" I yelled thinking of Kart.
"I was protecting you from a monster," he said standing in front of me again.
"Kart isn't a monster!"
"Ribbon ZaCross Pure!" I jumped and looked over my shoulder at Mint and Zakuro. 'I completely forgot they were here.' I looked up at Kisshu and saw he had trouble dodging her whip. 'Maybe he forgot about them, too.'
"Ribbon Minto Echo!" I felt the arrow rush past me and was about to yell at her but I saw Kisshu knock it away with one of his swords. He made them disappear and was diving towards Mint. I looked over at her and saw Blue Knight was standing there, I also saw him stab Kisshu in the stomach. Kisshu flew back without even flinching. I saw blood pouring out the hole in his stomach and truthfully it made me sick.
"Kish?" I saw the munchkin floating behind Kisshu. I saw he was sad, scared, maybe? 'They don't have feelings!' I reminded myself. I felt something start to wrap around me and screamed. I don't remember what happened but when I was free Zakuro and Mint was gone. Leaving me, the Blue Knight, and Kisshu.
"What have you done to them?!"
"You'll find out soon, Kitten. Though you may not like it." Horrible images flashed through my mind, and he laughed. I tried to hit him, but he was already gone so were the others. I started towards the basement hoping Shirogane would help.
"Shirogane!" I yelled when I got to the basement. I looked around but no one was there. I felt tears come to my eyes, and I ran out.
Kart sighed and laid down on the grass, realizing Ichigo was deep in thought. Is she really that upset? I wonder what Pai'll do to them anyways.
"I can't. Gomen." Kart sat up and looked at Ichigo. She was looking at the ground it tears rolling down her cheeks.
"I-Ichigo, it-it's okay," Kart said, shocked.
"No. No it isn't!" She yelled standing up. Kart stood up along with her. "I can't abandon them! They could be dying right now!" Kart flinched, and then looked at the ground.
"W-what do you mean? What are you talking about, Ichigo?" Kart whispered.
"They were stolen by a big baka! I can't let them die!" Ichigo started to run off.
"Hey! Ichigo!" Kart tried to grab her arm but she turned around.
"I can't abandon them! Why can't you understand?!" She yelled. Kart grabbed her hands and looked her in the eyes.
"Calm down, Ichigo! You can't go rushing into things!" Ichigo looked at him then laid her head on his shoulder.
"They could be dead by now!" Ichigo muttered.
"It'll be fine. I promise," Kart said. Ichigo cried into his shoulder.
"How would you know?" Kart looked up along with Ichigo, at a furious Masaya.
"Aoyama-kun!" Ichigo said. Masaya glared at Kart then turned into Blue Knight.
"Get away from her."
"Never. Bastard," Kart said glaring at Blue Knight.
