Before Ichigo could answer the door suddenly flew open, looking up her eyes widened to their limit upon seeing the alien standing in the doorway.
"K-Kisshu?" she whispered.
Kisshu panted heavily, it was obvious he had been running. His eyes were too widened and behind him the two soilders were on the floor and just about to get up, staring at her he murmurred, "Ichigo?"
--
"Kisshu!" Mizu cried standing up, "Why are you here?"
Kisshu shot a glare at her, "Why did you keep this from me?!"
By now the two soilders behind had stood back up however Mizu shook them a stare telling them to stay put.
Kisshu looked back at Ichigo, "Ichigo have they hurt you in any way?"
Ichigo tried to find the words to say something but couldn't.
"We haven't done anything." Mizu stated.
"Why is she here?" Kisshu asked in a harsh voice directed at Mizu.
Mizu sighed obviously knowing she had to explain, "She was bitten by one of our aliens who was diseased. Her mew genes however fought it off and so she is fine, we need some of her blood and then we may save our race. But she won't give any so we are keeping her here till she does."
Kisshu's eyes widened and he quickly walked forward and placed his hands on both of Ichigo's shoulders, "Are you okay Ichigo?"
Ichigo looked to the side trying to avoid eye contact, for some reason she didn't wish to look at him, "Hai." she mumbled.
"Ichigo?" Kisshu asked worriedly.
Mizu quickly put a hand on Kisshu's shoulder and he looked her way, "Please, she's been through a lot."
Kisshu released Ichigo and turned to glare at Mizu again, "Why did you keep this from me? Not only did you not tell me about Kaze, you also keep a huge secret like this from me? How do you think I feel?!"
Mizu sighed, "I just need to be with Ichigo for a bit and then she'll be allowed to wander freely on our planet till she willingly gives some blood. Then we'll return her to her planet."
Kisshu looked at Ichigo, "Ichigo?"
Ichigo bit her lip, I can't keep avoiding him...
Turning her head back around she asked flatly, "Nani?"
Kisshu seemed surprise at her flat tone but managed to reply, "I'll see you again... and I promise... I promise you, I won't let anything happen to you."
"Kay..." she murmurred looking another way again.
Kisshu gave a sad look before Mizu put a hand on his back and gestured for him to leave, "Don't defy the council Kisshu." she stated, when they were both at the front door Ichigo saw Mizu whispering something to him.
A second later Kisshu gave a glance to her before leaving and closing the door, Mizu then walked back.
"Are you okay?"
Ichigo sighed, "I'm fine."
Mizu smiled, "Well your bite mark looks fine and should disappear within a day. Are you still against us using your blood?"
Ichigo thought back to the mews and Masaya, she was certain they would save her! Until then she'd just have to cope...
"Hai."
Mizu nodded in understanding, "Very well. You should get some sleep, tomorrow I'll help show you around."
"Well I see Kisshu again?" Ichigo asked.
Mizu paused for a moment before answering, "It's very likely."
As Mizu reopened the door she said, "Good night Mew Ichigo."
As the door shut Ichigo lay flat on the bed, "When will this nightmare end?"
--
As Pai and Taruto ran down the corridor they spotted Kisshu walking in the opposite direction towards them.
"Kisshu!" Taruto cried.
Kisshu who was looking down at the floor looked up in response to their voice and as they reached him Pai asked, "What have you done?"
"I saw her."
"Huh?" Taruto asked.
"I saw Ichigo." Kisshu stated.
"Did you do anything rash?" Pai said worriedly.
Kisshu shook his head slowly, "Iie. Mizu was there and explained why she was here; I'm going to watch out for her whilst she's here."
"Kisshu aren't you forgetting something?" Pai asked.
Kisshu looked at him with a puzzled face.
"Kaze." Pai stated, "She's been waiting to see you for years, I doubt you can look after both Ichigo and Kaze without Kaze finding out."
Kisshu bit his lip as he thought and after a few moments said, "I'll go meet her then."
"You can't."
"Why not?" Kisshu asked.
"Kisshu, Kaze has been locked up for three years because she took the wrap for something you did. She'll obviously have to go through many trials just so she is able to walk around. You won't be able to meet her till tomorrow."
"Pai I already know why she was locked up, there's no need to remind me. I've felt guilty every time I thought of her." Kisshu snapped.
"I'm just saying Kisshu; you can't look after two girls at once." Pai said.

Kaji and Tsuchi waited out a door silently, a few minutes later it opened and Kaze walked out. She no longer had and chains on however she was still in the same clothes and quite filthy.
"Are you all done?" Tsuchi asked.
Kaze nodded and smiled, "Hai... I'll go wash and then meet him."
"You still like him?" Kaji asked.
Kaze nodded again, "Of course. I'm the one who chose to cover for him and I would do it again. I can't wait till I meet him again."
Kaji and Tsuchi exchanged worried glances.

The next morning back on earth Ichigo's friends were in panick.
"Ryou there must be some way to rescue her!" Mint cried as they all waited around the basement. It was early morning and they had all come here early along with Masaya hoping that over night Ryou and Keiichiro had found something.
"I don't know how we can get onto their planet." Ryou shouted back, "Unless..."
"Unless what?" Lettuce asked.
"The only way we can get there is if someone teleports us there, other known as an alien. There are three aliens we know who can get us there."
"But how do we contact them?" Zakuro stated.
"I know how."
Everyone turned their attention towards Pudding.
"You do?" Masaya asked quite surprised.
Pudding nodded, "Taru-Taru and me still meet one another regularly so next time we meet I can try and get him to take us all there."
"You still talk to him?" Mint asked surprised.
Pudding smiled, "Yup! We bestest friends. We meet every Monday."
"But that's in two days." Lettuce commented.
Pudding nodded, "I'll try to get him to take us then."
"But until then there's nothing we can do..." Masaya mumbled.
"It looks like it." Keiichiro stated sadly.
Masaya looked down at the floor, "Ichigo..."

At the same time when Ichigo had woke up she waited in her room patiently. By now she needed new clothes but was still insistent on not wearing the one's in the wardrobe, she would ask Mizu for some other, more suitable clothing.
Her phone was still not working so she couldn't contact anyone which saddened her but she was still hopeful that they would save her.
After waiting half an hour she got fed up and went to the door, it was obviously locked but she tried something different.
Ichigo pressed her ear against the door to hear if anyone was outside, when she heard nothing she backed away a few feet from the door.
"Here goes." she murmurred.
Running forward she used all the power in her right leg to kick the door, when she hit the door Ichigo felt the full force of the impact in her leg. As she fell on the floor she winced in pain but was at least happy the door had opened.
"Wish me luck..." she whispered to herself.
Tip-toeing ever so silent she came into a corridor with doors on either side; walking left she wondered what time it was. At the end of the corridor was another door and also a corridor to the right, checking around the corner to make sure nobody was there she then went to the door opposite and opened it. Inside were some stairs and deciding to use them went downstairs.
There was many floors and it seemed to go on forever, by the time she finally reached the bottom her legs ached terribly and she was dying for a drink.
I can't wait till I return to Earth...
Walking through the door at the bottom she found herself on another corridor however there weren't as many doors. Unlike the other corridors which had all been white and lit by lights this was a stone corridor and had torches, in truth she felt like she was stepping into the past.
"Well I'm not jealous of their interior decorating, that's for sure." she murmurred trying to cheer herself up with jokes.
The corridor didn't link onto any others and was only long enough to have three doors on each side. It made her wonder what kind of things were down here but she wasn't eager to find out.
Turning back around she walked back the way to the stairs as she was hoping to find an exit.
As she opened the door to the stairs she suddenly felt a hand cover her mouth and another wrap around her waist, she heard a clang of steel suggesting the person had a sword or some weapon of metal.
"Mmph!" she cried.
"Move one inch and I'll kill you." said a cold voice.
Ichigo's eyes widened, No...
