A/N: Hello, fans!! Thank you all so much for trying to give me as many reviews as you can. I really appreciate them and I know that 'Betrayal Reveals Love' needs a lot of work, but don't worry. It will get better.

Kuro: I heard that!

Tsukiko: From the other side of the door, you did! Anyway, sorry I took so long on this chapter but as you can see, it's pretty long. I did say that since you all were so worried that this might be a long story from finding the Mew Mews, I didn't finish a chapter unless a member joins. I know you might be confused with this new order, but trust me. Lettuce and Pudding have something a little bit extra on how they join Ichigo's team.

Kuro: Don't give too much stuff away!

Tsukiko: Sorry! I do NOT own TMM or the songs I use in my stories. Thank you for the lovely reviews and please keep them coming. Thank you and please enjoy.

When one does not join, how do you convince her to join?

Ch. 7: Zakuro Fujiwara: the Third Member

"Sorry, Ichigo. But the answer is no and that's final!"

"I still don't see the big deal about it! How bad could it be?"

"Bad enough for you to kill me."

"I will kill you unless you give in!"

"When I say no, I mean no! And that's final!"

"You're a jerk!"

"You're acting like a wench!"

Right after that, Ichigo turned around and tried to slap Kisshu with the back of her hand but he caught her wrist. Both of them just stared at each other showing a bit of anger towards the other.

Clap

Clap

Clap

Hearing that made them look away from each other and to their dancing teacher. She was clapping as she said, "Bravo! Bravo!" She stopped clapping for a bit. "There is by far more no doubt. What you two just showed us was a brilliant performance. I felt the anger and the frustration in it. You two will have the pleasure of doing a duet together." Both Kisshu and Ichigo freeze in shock and disbelief.

"No way!!"

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

"This is your fault," Ichigo blamed, sitting on the bench facing the other way.

Kisshu was facing the other way too as he asked, "My fault?! I wasn't the one who brought the stupid fight up!"

"Well if you just let me, then it wouldn't be a problem."

"It is a problem because I can't let you come."

"And why not?"

"My brother doesn't like visitors."

"I'm sure he can bare with me for about an hour."

"My little brother has chicken pox."

"I had them before so I should be fine."

"I have rats in the house."

"I can handle rats. I am a cat, after all."

"I have bugs."

"I can handle that too."

"My house is in need of repairs."

"It's not going to collapse, otherwise you would have already moved out."

"It's dusty and messy."

"I can handle dust and I can clear things up with my feet."

"My house is completely surrounded by thugs."

"I can fight and you'll be there to fight too."

Kisshu ran out of ideas to make Ichigo not come over to his house.

It's been a few days since the night they found Ichigo's second partner, Mint. The next day after that, Mint has been hired by Ryou and is now working at the café. Or she's supposed too. She sits down at the table, drinking tea as she watch Ichigo go crazy with delivering food to the customer. Then when Kisshu comes in, Mint makes it look like she's the one who's been working. Ichigo get's way over jealous with it. She even wrapped her arms around his waist and hissed at Mint. Kisshu was just watching the reality TV in front of him that was trying to include him too.

What Ryou and Keiichiro found out was that there have been countless murders of people dying now from the loss of blood but the problem was that they haven't detected any kirema anima or demons. They first thought that maybe, the agents are just killing for thirst and not to turn them into kirema animas but that was too generous even for an agent or the devil. It was a good thing for Ichigo that neither Kisshu nor her have decided a date at night since the night of the full moon. When Ichigo told Ryou and Keiichiro about how they found Mint, they were surprised to hear that Kisshu was there at night, human! Since he was there at night, they no longer put anymore suspicion on him but it was still pretty tempting when Ichigo said she had no date plans at night.

Today, both Ichigo and Kisshu got into a fight during dance rehearsals. It was actually going on even before it was their turn. Since Ichigo noticed that Kisshu knows a lot about her but she doesn't know anything about him, she asked if she could go over to his house. Immediately, he said no and she asked why and he said that his brother doesn't allow visitors. But he said no and the reason way too quick for Ichigo to drop it. He was hiding something and she kept asking. During the dance, they were talking about it still and then every move they made was filled with emotion of anger. Every step sounded more like a stomp and their faces matched the dance perfectly. The last thing they did wasn't part of the dance and the dance teacher just loved it. Since they were just perfect for the part, she gave them the duet dance that is supposed to be a big thing and only the two of them dance; which means that all eyes are on them. Like taking part of it wasn't bad enough.

Now both Kisshu and Ichigo are being childish with sitting on the same bench in the park but looking the other way and basically sitting on the edge of the bench. Ichigo finally stopped being and turned around to face Kisshu. Apparently Kisshu had the same idea and turned around to face her as well.

"Look, I-" they both said, but they stopped talking to let the other speak first. "I—That is—" Apparently, they didn't stop.

"Look, Kisshu!" Ichigo said being fast enough. He shut up and listened. "Okay, I get the point. You don't want me over and I'll accept that."

"It's not that I don't want you over," he told her, quickly. She shut up and listened. "It's just that…" He let out a sigh and mumbled, "You'll hate me if I told you or even showed you." Ichigo was taken back by that. He was looking down when he answered that. She leaned closer to him until he could see her face even when his face was facing the floor. He turned red from the sudden appearance of her close up face.

She told him, "You know I wouldn't hate you. Sure I said it a few times before but that was before I decided to go out with you. I didn't know you would be such a wonderful boyfriend." Her hand went to his face and she lightly placed her finger tips on the top of his head and it slid down to his chin. She told him, "I only asked to go because I feel like I don't know anything about you and yet you know everything about me; literally." It was meant to be a joke and she was expecting him to laugh but he didn't. His face looked like it was caring but serious at the same time.

He stared at her eyes and said, "You actually know me better than you believe."

"Wh-What do you mean?" she shuttered, turning red from the burning of his golden eyes piercing straight at her.

Before she knew it, his hands were on both sides of her face and he was leaning in with his eyes closed. Her beating heart started beating faster and faster with each second he got closer. She could feel his breath, hot on her face. His hand… She could felt it brushing against her cheek, brushing at the contract. Since he was so close, she couldn't exactly see his face but she thinks he smiled. She was too lost to care now. His hand moved, and brushed a stray stand of hair behind her ear. They moved closer. They leant towards each other until they were so close that the proximity was intoxicating. Her cheeks reddened further. This time, she was the one who smirked. His hand was at the name of her neck, sending pulses up and down her spine, alerting every one of her nerve endings, giving her goose bumps. They were too close. Too close… Any more and he's successfully push her over the edge. He was invading her space, her senses, replacing her inhibitions with instinct, and damn , instinct wanted to kiss him. Surely…That was what he wanted…they'd come this far, and…Just…Closer…

Both Kisshu and Ichigo backed away from each other in surprise of Ichigo's phone. They were back to how they were before; looking away from each other and sitting on the edge of the bench. Kisshu had a hand over his heart and tried to breath to get the blood out of his face. Ichigo took out her phone, red as an overripe cherry and her ears and tail are revealed as she answered it.

"Hello?"

'Where the heck are you?! You're were supposed to be here three minutes ago!'

Hearing that it's Ryou, Ichigo lost her embarrassment, her tail, and her ears, and she got angry with a vein pulsing on her head.

"Three minutes isn't going to make the café go out of business! Besides, I think Mint needs to help out for once."

'I don't know what your problem is with her? She's only here for about two hours and you treat her as an annoying little sister.'

"You don't have to work with her, Ryou."

'Just get your butt over her, now!' After that, Ryou hang up and Ichigo was having flames decorate her background.

"Ichigo!" She forgot her anger at the sound of his voice and turned around towards him.

"Yes?"

He asked, "You're leaving?"

Sadly, she nodded. "Yeah, that stupid son of a gun is working me to the bone! I swear one of these days, I'm going to leave him in battle and make sure a demon eats him!"

Kisshu narrowed his eyes and said, "I just wish that this battle is over already. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate of what you do but it's just that I think this Ryou is getting just a little bit controlling."

"A little bit? He's more controlling than you think! He's always telling me to do this and that and even when the café is closed, he still treats me like that! I'm a work slave to the guy!"

He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him. She turned red and he looked completely fine as he said, "Then let me be your prince in shiny armor and take you away from the cruel evil boss."

She got a bit nervous as she said, "Trust me, there is nothing more wanting then to do that, but I have a duty to protect Tokyo and I have to keep it, otherwise…" She didn't finish it. She was actually really nervous to even say the words.

He asked her, "Otherwise, what?"

Since he asked, she had to answer. She mumbled, softly, "Otherwise you'll get hurt again." He heard her, even though she was hoping that he didn't. He let out a sigh and tightened his hold on her. She calmly leaned on his chest, listening to his heart beat.

He rubbed her back and told her, "I'll be fine, honey. It's you I'm more concerned with about. You lost your parents, you have to live with a slaver worker, and you have to fight dangerous creatures that could kill you. I saw you in action, but when I got there if I didn't kick that kirema anima away, you would have been dead. But yet again, if you hadn't transformed when you did, I would have been dead too. So maybe we need each other. I'll watch your back and you watch my back, deal?"

Realizing that, she smiled and nodded. "Deal. We really can't go on with another can't we?"

"Survive is more like it." Both Kisshu and Ichigo chuckled that time. After the chuckle, they just stared in each other's arms, smiling in delight of the pleasant warmth each one was giving the other.

Ichigo growled as Kisshu allowed her to get up and look at her phone. It was Ryou again and she put it on silent. She knew what he's calling for.

Kisshu asked, "He's waiting for you."

She gripped her phone with three veins pulsing on her head as she told him, "Sometimes I wish that I could quit."

'You're not the only one,' Kisshu thought, agreeing with her. Ichigo stood up and put her phone away.

She offered, "Want to walk me to the café?" His face brightened up and he got up as well.

"Like I'm going to pass up an opportunity like this!" he said.

She had to giggle again as she grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the café. He grasped her hand and they both walked hand in hand towards the café. But the happy moment only lasted for about ten seconds.

Boom

Hearing the explosion, they looked up and they saw smoke starting to rise up, not too far from them. Actually around the area where the…

"The café!" Ichigo shouted.

She started running and Kisshu ran with her. Since Ichigo went forward first, their hands weren't connecting anymore but it's a bit late to think of stuff like that now. Not when there are about three peoples' lives on the line.

When they finally see the café in clear view but not close view, they saw who was attacking the café. It wasn't an agent, it was something else. This person looks like a female and she looked like a high school student. Since both Ichigo and Kisshu could only see the back of her, they didn't exactly get a good look at her. Now, she has long, smooth, neon purple hair that was long enough to gently brush against her skinny waist. Her slightly pale skin looked so glamorous and clear that it could be mistaken for milk instead. She has the long skinny arms and legs of that of a dancer and she had the curves of a dancer as well.

After Ichigo and Kisshu looked at her, they looked up toward the café and Ryou, Keiichiro, and Mint were on their knees in their angel forms. That kind of upsetted Ichigo.

"Why is there an agent here in broad day light?" she wondered out loud.

Kisshu reminded, "You told me that agents are guys and from what I can see, that's a female."

She asked him, "Then why would an angel attack her own kind? Besides, maybe Ryou and Keiichiro got it wrong."

"I highly doubt it." She turned towards him and started growling. He lifted his palms up to try and reason with her, but instead he said, "Just go over there and help them. I'll stay here so that you wouldn't get a heart attack but if you get into a position of needing help, I'll save you." Even though that was dangerous, Ichigo couldn't help it but smile. She quickly kissed his cheek and he turned beet red.

"I'll be right back." She took out her blotch and cried out, "Mew Mew Strawberry Metamorphosis!!"

Mint, Ryou, and Keiichiro finally saw the bright pink light and apparently their attacker did too. She only got a glimpse of it from the corner of her eyes. After her transformation, she took out her Strawberry Bell and went a little closer to the attacker.

"Okay, agent! Step away from my friends and maybe, I'll go easy on you!"

Mint yelled, "You idiot! That isn't an agent!" Ichigo was taken back by that as she looked at the attacker again. The attacker turned half way towards Ichigo and now she got a better look at her.

She has, what looks like dark, intelligent yet sensitive eyes that are like sapphires on her clear skin. The only problem with her eyes is that it looked more hard and icy then sensitive eyes. Her outfit looked very revealing, almost. Her purple top is a strapless, bra shaped top but what was connected to it is a purple see through material that revealed her waist. On her waist is a mark. She has the long light purple skirt that hang on her waist with the dark purple ribbon hanging in the middle of the skirt that was just as long. On her upper arms, she has purple arm bracelets and on her wrists is what looks like purple sweat bands. On her neck is a purple collar with a golden blotch hanging. On the top of her head are light purple wolf ears and she has a wolf tail on the end of her spine on her lower body. On her feet are three inches high, purple heels. Finally, now that Ichigo and Kisshu could see her front, they could see a halo flouting above her head and pure white angel wings on her back that are shoulder length. Because her hair was so long, it hid them from them. Finally in her hands is a whip and the whip is glowing a light purple just like her whole body.

Ichigo mumbled, "You're an… angel." The girl before her didn't change her angry expression. She pulled her whip behind her and then aimed it at Ichigo. Getting out of the way, Ichigo jumped up just in time. The wolf girl tried again in the air and Ichigo just kept on dodging. That was starting to get to that situation.

Ichigo asked, "Why?!" The girl didn't slow down. She kept on attacking Ichigo. "Why are you attacking us?! You're an angel! You're on our side! You should be fighting with us! Not against us!"

Finally the wolf girl got her whip around Ichigo's ankle and pulled her down. She made Ichigo got crashing down to the ground and she landed about a few feet away from her companions. She scrapped her arm and it was starting to bleed. Kisshu felt his heart beat a little bit faster than usual. But he tried to take deep breaths to control it.

The wolf girl took a few steps towards them and that was got their attention. She stared long and hard at the angels before her. She finally spoke, "People who ruin lives and cause humans to die are no comrades of mine."

'What?' Ichigo wondered.

Ryou told her, "That's wrong and you know it!"

She asked, "Am I? Because of you, my life is ruined because I'm some kind of freak who supposedly protects humans from demons! If you guys never started this stupid project then so many lives would have been spared! So far twenty lives have been taken and soon there will be more to come tonight! We're weak when night falls! Why didn't you think it was odd that you weren't even able to purify that possessed animal on the night of the full moon?!" Everyone was shocked to hear that. She was there when they found Mint?

The wolf girl lifted up her whip and it glowed a brighter purple. "With this one shot, I will destroy you." Automatically, Ryou grabbed Ichigo and pulled her into a protective way. Keiichiro did the same to Mint as the angel in front of them got ready. "Ribbon Zakuro Spear!!"

Pow

Right before she got the chance to attack the angels in front of her, Kisshu ran up to her and punched her straight in the face. She dropped her whip, which caused it to disappear and she took a few steps away from the angels. Kisshu stood right in front of them and he looked angry. The wolf girl blinked in confusion of the human's action.

She asked, "Why? Why are you protecting them?"

He answered, "Because you have no idea what they're like!" She widened her eyes to that and Ichigo just stared up at him. "You think you're the only one who's upset about being an angel who has to protect the world from demons? Ichigo and Mint are feeling exactly what you're feeling! If you were really there that night, then you would have seen what they did to save that dog! They thought that Miki was dead but he wasn't! They saved him from pain and suffering of being possessed! Why would you kill people who are going through exactly what you're feeling and are helping those in need?" The wolf girl stared at Kisshu and he stared back but he was serious as she was shocked. Ichigo's heart actually beat a hundred times faster than before.

After a bit, the wolf girl lost her shock and turned around. "Bye." Then she sprang into the air and started flying away.

Kisshu mumbled, "Crazy witch." Right after that, he felt a pair of arms grab his and he looked to see Mint hugging his arm.

"Oh, Kisshu! You were so cool! Thank you for saving me!" Ichigo was burning with jealousy again.

"Excuse me! But he saved all of us!" Ichigo yelled. Mint turned towards Ichigo and stick her tongue at her and she pulled an eye lid down (you guys know what I mean). Kisshu turned around too and saw Ryou still on Ichigo. His turn to burn with jealousy.

"Excuse me, but," he started. He pointed to Ryou and Ichigo looked at him. Remembering that Ryou still held her, she pushed him back.

"Get off of me!" she yelled.

Ryou got up angry and argued, "I was protecting you, you idiot!"

"You weren't doing a good job of that, Ryou! Kisshu saved us!"

"Oh sure! Give credit to the guy who came at the last minute!"

"I told him not to come out! He just did it to protect me!"

Mint butted in, "You mean protect me."

Ichigo turned towards Mint and yelled, "And you! Get off of him!" Since she's probably going to explode, Kisshu pulled his arm away from Mint. She looked like she was pouting but Kisshu didn't pay any mind since someone would have killed him.

Ryou got up and said, "Well, back inside you two. Customers are coming soon and you need to clean up the mess. You especially, Ichigo." Ichigo is furious at him now and Kisshu was starting to get a bit nervous from Ichigo's furry.

In the end all four of the angels turned back into humans and they started heading back into the café. Ichigo didn't go in yet. When she was certain that they were alone, she turned towards Kisshu and smiled.

She grabbed his hand and held it in her soft small hands. "Thank you, Kisshu. I don't think I can ever go through something like this without you." He smiled at her and used his free hand to go to the back of her head. He pulled her closer to him and then he kissed her forehead.

He leaned on her forehead and told her, "No problem. I will protect you, Ichigo. Remember that." She nodded and then looked back up at him. They both got the same idea. She closed her eyes, ready for it and he closed his to lean towards her lips.

'Damn it! I hate it when that happens!' both of them thought as Kisshu's cell kept on ringing. Upset and red, he backed away from Ichigo and took out his white cell phone. He took a few steps away to be able to get some privacy.

"Hello?" Right after he answered, that he pulled the phone away thanks to the loud yelling.

"Hello?! What the hell do you mean 'hello'?! Where the hell are you anyway?! It's almost dark!!"

Kisshu rolled his eyes and put the phone back to his ear. "Nii-san, it's still around sunset time, for god's sake! You're acting like an overprotective father!"

"Just get your ass here!! You're making little brother worried sick?!"

"He's not our mom, nii-san!"

"Sure as hell I'm not!" a different and younger sounding voice yelled in the back ground. Apparently his brothers are furious.

"Will you both just calm down already?! I'll come home, okay?!" After that, he hung up the phone and then he burned up in flames of anger. "Stupid ass brothers…" he cursed. Ichigo watched the whole thing and then sadly smiled.

"You better go, Kisshu," she told him. He lost his anger and turned towards her to see that sad smile on her face. She tried to smile sweeter and said, "They're all waiting for you at home. I'll see you tomorrow though, right?"

Next thing she got was a kiss on her forehead. He sweetly smiled at her red face and told her, "Of course. Good night, Ichigo."

She nodded and departed, "Good night." He waved and then walked away. She waved back until he was out of her sight. When he was gone, she let out a dreamy sigh and then walked back into the café.

Seeing her so happy, Mint asked, "Why do you look so happy? Did he finally dumped you?"

Nothing seemed to break her happy mood. "Keep wishing, Mint. The day he does that will be the day that hell freezes over."

"Ichigo!" she heard Ryou yelled.

Still happy. "What? I'm allowed to swear as much as I want, Ryou and I don't care if I'm an angel!"

'Sometimes, I wonder if she's an angel at all?' Ryou and Mint wondered. Like they're ones to talk.

Ichigo went to her dressing room and changed into her work uniform. After that and after a few cleaning, customers started to come in and as usual, Ichigo did most of the work but she didn't care this time. Kisshu put her in a good mood in so many ways today and that was enough for her to do most of the work and for Mint to have a drink. She was wondering why Ichigo didn't yell at her or anything, but what she was also wondering about was why did that wolf angel look so familiar?

Near closing time, Ryou came out saying, "Girls, close the café. Tell everyone that we have a sewage problem down in the basement." Getting the hint, the girl's did what they were told. They turned most of the orders into take outs and then send everyone off. After that was done, they went down to the basement to see Keiichiro use his quick hands to type in about four computers.

Ichigo asked, "What's going on?"

Ryou answered, "We may have found out where the third member is." They both were shocked to hear that.

Mint asked, "You mean the angel from earlier?" Ryou nodded.

Keiichiro warned, "But that isn't the only thing. Apparently, there is some recent kirema animas' action happening there." Now they're worried.

"Where is she?" Ichigo asked, both Mint and her getting prepared.

He answered, "In a church on the west side of Tokyo."

"I know that church. Let's go!" Mint yelled, running towards the exit. Ichigo nodded and ran right after her.

"Wait!" Ryou stopped them. They did and he asked, "Are you sure that you can convince her? She did attack us so she could be the enemy."

"Not possible!" Ichigo told him, immediately. After that, both Mint and Ichigo were out the door. "Mew Mew Strawberry Metamorphosis!!"

"Mew Mew Mint Metamorphosis!!"

Both of them transformed and ran to the church with Mint's directions. When they arrived, it didn't look like church. It could be at least three stories high and it looked like one of those medieval castles. On the top of the church is a cross to show what religion this church is sponsoring. The night back ground didn't help it look any safer either. It was completely spooky and Ichigo was starting to shake but not enough for Mint to notice.

Ichigo asked, "Is t-t-this the ch-ch-church?" Mint nodded and Ichigo made a silent gulp. "Let's go!" she cried. Mint nodded again and they both ran inside.

Once inside, it was dark and they could hear a church piano playing. It only made the church even creepier but somehow, Ichigo didn't feel scared anymore. She felt safe and she could feel a wonderful feeling enter her body. It must be because she's an angel and that she's in a holy place. Mint felt the same thing too, but how could there be recent kirema animas' movement here? Can they even enter this holy place?

In the middle of the church are stairs that lead to a praying area and there's a person praying there on her knees. But not just any person; a female is there praying. Thinking that she's the angel from earlier, Mint yelled, "You have to transform! There's kirema animas coming this way!"

The girl stood up and turned around to face them. They couldn't get a good look at her face because she was wearing a coat and a hat. But on her neck is a silver cross. Mint widen her eyes at the sight of that, like she seen it before.

'Everyone! Watch out! kirema animas are there!' they heard Keiichiro tell them through one of the blotches.

"But how?" Ichigo asked.

Then front outside the windows, the sky began to darken. Outside almost like the clouds were made of them, hundreds of kirema animas were outside and then they entered the church, through the windows. They all looked like crows, but kirema animas don't look like regular crows. These had to be possessed crows. Then where is the kirema anima?

The possessed crows went straight for Ichigo and Mint and they let out a yell of the crows attacking them. The crows stopped a little and they all heard a laugh. They looked up in the air and Kish was there with a giant looking closed bird on his arm.

"Kish?!" Ichigo yelled, surprised to see him in a church.

He waved and greeted, "Hello, Ichigo! How have you've been? I haven't seen you in a while." Ichigo growled at him. Looks only one person can make her angry today.

She asked, "How can you get in here? This is a holy place!"

He answered, "Holy ground, koneko-chan! Why don't you think I'm flying instead of standing on the ground? You think I would be stupid enough to stand in this place?"

'For once, yes.'

"Oh well," he started. "The dance party is about to begin. Dance as much as you want…with the crows!" The closed giant bird on his arm opened up and let out a cry. Now that looked like a kirema anima.

The possessed crows went straight for the girls again and all the girl on the praying post did was watch. Both Mint and Ichigo were trying to brush off the crows as they clawed them, grabbed their hair with their claws, and even peck at them. Both angels were even lifting their legs one after the other like they were dancing. Mint became the first to fall to the floor from tripping.

"Where's the third member?" she wondered out loud. The crows went back to her and she tried to cover herself from them.

Ichigo fell down next but she landed on her butt. "Oww!" she cried.

She felt two cold hands on her arms and she heard Kish whisper in her ear, "Can you not even take a step because it's so fun?" She quickly turned around to see him, but he disappeared in an orb of black again. She looked up and he was there again with the giant crow on his arm. He let out a laugh before he said, "Welcome, everyone to the funeral of the third member!"

Finally the crows left the two angels on the floor alone and flew up. Ichigo and Mint watched in horror.

"But for the funeral to start, I need her to die first," Kish figured. The girl still didn't move. "Ahh, why aren't you moving? Are you paralyzed because you just fallen into a trap?" he asked. He let out a chuckle and then yelled, "Kill her!!" All of the crows went straight for her.

The girl finally moved with taking off her hat and revealing her face. Mint's eyes really widen after seeing who she is now.

"Zakuro Fujiwara?!"

Zakuro took out a golden blotch and yelled out, "Mew Mew Zakuro Metamorphosis!!" She let out a blinding light of purple as she was changing in that light. In the light, she felt the common warmth and bliss that both Ichigo and Mint usually feel and in her ear, she can hear the faint sound of pop music. How the light ended became a surprise to not only Kish but to the Mew Mews as well.

Her purple light grew out all at once and it affected nearly all of the birds, all except for the one on Kish's arm. All of the crows that were hit by the light weren't possessed anymore. They all started to fly out of the broken windows. Kish was upset.

"Damn you!" he cursed at her. "You turned all of the kirema anima crows back to normal at once?!" The giant crow on his arm let out a cry and he cried, "Go! Kirema Crow Great!!" The crow flapped it wings and then charged at Zakuro. She took out her whip but she didn't say the words she said before.

She flipped her hair and then swayed her hips to the right and then to the left. In the air, Ichigo, Mint, and Kish heard a faint music of guitar and then it started to grow and grow. When Zakuro opened her eyes, she started singing?

I've been looking for a driver who's qualified
So if you think that you're the one step into my ride
I'm a fine-tuned supersonic speed machine
With a sunroof top and a gangster lean

She aimed her whip at the kirema anima but it flew out of the way. She jumped up into the air and the kirema anima charged at her again. She dodged and attacked. It dodged and then attacked. The way she moved almost looked like she's dancing. Ichigo and Mint watched in amazement of her moves and her curves as Kish was watching in pain. He gripped his head with one hand as the music continued to created a bigger headache for him.


So if you feel me let me know, know, know
Come on now what you waiting for, for, for
My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode
So start me up and watch me go, go, go, go
Her whip finally hit the kirema anima and it was purified. All it did before it was gone was let out a cry and then glow white. That was a kirema anima made from a human soul. Being upset and rather annoyed, Kish started charging at her despite his pain of her music. Just like with the kirema anima, she moved as if she was dancing to the music in the air and her singing voice rang out beautifully throughout the church.

Got you where you wanna go if you know what I mean
Got a ride that smoother than a limousine
Can you handle the curves? Can you run all the lights?
If you can baby boy then we can go all night

Cos I'm 0 to 60 in three point five
Baby you got the keys-

Now shut up and drive
(drive, drive, drive)

(drive, drive, drive)

Shut up and drive
(drive, drive, drive)

Her whip finally caught Kish by his ankle and it sent an electric shock throughout his body. He didn't yell out though.

Now shut up and drive
(drive, drive, drive)

She pulled him down to the ground and he landed head first to the ground. That was when he let out a cry as dust and dirt was all around him, covering him. Ichigo eyes widen, remembering that scream from that time at the park.

Shut up and drive
(drive, drive, drive)

Zakuro landed gracefully on the ground and stared at the area where Kish landed. Surprisingly, he stopped screaming but when the dust cleared, he wasn't there. All that was there is the big hole that he created when he landed.

"He escaped," she said out loud.

She glowed purple and then returned back into her human self. She walked down the stairs and found her hat surrounded by feathers the crows left behind.

Still surprised, Mint mumbled, "So onee-sama is the third member…"

Ichigo turned towards Mint and asked, "You know her?"

Mint looked at her like she was stupid and asked, "Are you as dense as a long?" Zakuro walked to her hat and picked it up while Mint explained. "Zakuro Fujiwara is an international actress and an up-and-coming model. She speaks English, French, Chinese, German, and Japanese. She's born on September 6th, virgo. Her height is 172 cm and her weight is 49 kg. She has black opal like hair, blue sapphire eyes that give a mysterious glitter, and her long legs are as white as platinum. Why didn't I see it before?" Mint had hearts in her eyes as Ichigo was just staring in both shock and disbelief.

'She…admires this person?'

"But…" Ichigo started, getting back to reality. "This afternoon…" Mint came back down to earth too.

"That never happened!" Mint protested. "We're angels, right? We can forgive those who are needed to be forgiven." Mint walked a little closer to Zakuro and asked, "So you are the third member? Please don't worry about what happened earlier. We'll just forget that it ever happened! What do you say?"

Zakuro didn't turn around to face her. She kept her back towards her. "How stupid," she answered. Mint tried to keep her surprise small as Ichigo was shocked. "Sorry, but I have no intentions to work with anyone. I don't need any friends." Right after she said that, Mint started to have tears in her eyes.

"But…" she started. "You're the third member!" She ran to Zakuro and hugged her from behind. "Onee-sama!" She only got a moment to hug her as Zakuro pushed her from behind.

"Stop it!" she told her. Ichigo gasped and then ran to Mint side while Mint fall to the floor.

"Mint, are you okay?" she asked. Mint looked up at Zakuro with pure shock all over her face.

"Onee-sama…"

Zakuro turned her body half way towards them to yell, "Girls like you are annoying!!"

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

"So that's what happened?" Kisshu asked, still staring at the still in shocked Mint. All she did was sit at the table, holding a flower that is meant for a vase.

Ichigo nodded and answered, "Yep. She's been like that since last night. I'm a bit worried that she didn't eat or anything." Both of them just kept on staring.

Ding, dong

Ding, dong

Ichigo looked up at the clock and then at Mint. "Mint, it's tea time!" she said, trying to be cheerful. Mint looked up at Ichigo and then the clock.

"Okay…" she mumbled. Ichigo watched her with a smile and then both Kisshu's and Ichigo's expression went to shock and worried.

"Mint!! That's not a tea cup!! It's a…" Ichigo started, but Mint caught on. She stopped drinking water from the vase and then she stared at it.

"It's a vase."

Ichigo fell on the counter nearby and Kisshu held his head in his hand. Both of them said, "She is seriously ill."

Ichigo got up and headed for the kitchen. Kisshu fallowed right behind her. "Ryou! Keiichiro! You here?" she asked. Luckily, they both were.

Ryou asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Well…"

"What's the matter?" Keiichiro asked.

Ichigo let it out. "Is Zakuro really a member?"

Ryou asked her, "She transformed didn't she?"

"Don't play dumb with us!" Ichigo started. "You guys knew it was her and yet you didn't tell us! If not, you wouldn't know if danger was approaching her, right?"

"Who knows," was all that Ryou answered and that made Ichigo angry. Kisshu clearly saw that.

'She's angry now.'

"Look here, buster!! She said that she has no intention of joining! She said that very clearly! But what are we supposed to do if she said something like that, huh? Now because of what she said, Mint is acting like a ghost all over the café!!" Right after she said that, Kisshu, Keiichiro, and Ryou saw Mint 'flout' by with a vase and they had that look that made Ichigo turn around. She didn't see anything and had that confused look on her face.

Ryou told her, getting out of his trance, "I still don't see what you're mad about." Two veins pulsed on her head. Kisshu could clearly see the flames in the background and he was shaking.

"What the hell!!" she yelled. That was the first time in a while that Kisshu heard her swear.

Ryou told her, "Rather she becomes a member or not is her choice. Your job is to convince her."

"And when was that decided?!"

"Now."

Ichigo fell over.

Kisshu thought about it for a little longer and wondered out loud, "From what I've seen and heard, there's a very good chance of Zakuro being the enemy." Ichigo got up and raised a brow.

"Kisshu, I don't believe that's right," she told him.

He reminded, "She attacked you with the intention to wipe you off from the face of the planet and she said that she has no intention of joining you. 'Enemy' is written all over this case."

Ryou smirked and said, "He could be right you know." Ichigo looked the other way and think.

"I'm going to go see Zakuro again. I'll be irritated if I don't." Right after, she ran out of the doors but Ryou was still talking to her.

"Be careful! She might be an enemy."

Hearing him, she answered, "Again, not possible!" She headed straight for the dressing rooms and on her way she grabbed Mint as Kisshu stayed in the kitchen with the others a little longer.

"She denied that possibility strongly twice," Keiichiro noticed.

Kisshu smirked and said, "She's that kind of girl."

Ryou added, "That's what makes her perfect for the Mew Project."

Hearing enough, Kisshu left the kitchen for Keiichiro and Ryou to finish what they were doing before. When he got out, he heard rushing footsteps coming out of the dressing room. Hearing her coming, he waited. When she came out, he grabbed her wrist and she stopped. Mint just walked right passed them, ignoring the scene.

"Sorry what I said before," he started. "I guess, I was just concerned that you're trying to get involve with people who can hurt you. I worry about you when you do that." Seeing the caring in his eyes, Ichigo used her free hand to gently touch his skin with her finger tips.

"Thank you, Kisshu."

He smiled and asked, "Can I come with you just in case an agent comes?" She pointed to the window and he looked; the sun was starting to set and he cursed in his mind. He cursed, "Oh shit!"

She smiled and told him, "You have family who are going to worry about you very soon. Go home so that they wouldn't get a heart attack." He rolled his eyes and then lightly shook his head. He did however, looked back at Ichigo and kissed her forehead.

"See ya, honey."

She turned a bit red but departed, "See ya." He passed her and then left the café. Ichigo looked for Mint and she was just sitting at a table. She approached her and said, "Let's go."

Mint looked up at her and stared. Then she asked, "Why? Why are you going to go through the trouble of seeing her? She obviously doesn't want to join us and we won't be able to simply just talk."

"You didn't see?" Ichigo asked. Mint looked curious as Ichigo finished. "Her eyes I mean. They're similar to yours when we first met. Which is why I believe that we can convince her to join us." Mint turned a bit red from what Ichigo said but she looked back and smiled sweetly. Ichigo smiled even brighter and cried out, "Okay! Let's go!"

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

Zakuro was sitting on a chair in her dressing room at a TV station studio. In her human form, all she did was sit and stared out the window; her chin leaning on her hand. She spaced out into the view of the barley visible sun that had already disappeared behind the mountains. As she started out into the scenery, she let out sigh and had a sad look on her face.

'Zakuro-san!'

She closed her eyes at the painful memory.

"Why do you look so tired?"

Hearing his voice and getting out of her thoughts, she looked behind her to see Kish and just him; no kirema animas or possessed animals. But still, it made Zakuro conscious because she knows how strong he can get.

"I'll call someone," she warned. Like that's going to scare him.

He told her, "I don't care. But why not call your friends instead?"

She answered, "I have no intention of working with another."

"I at least know that."

"Why are you here? The wounds I gave you should still be affecting you,"

"Blood can do amazing things, but that is not what I came here for." He walked towards her and then placed his hand on the wall, his face really close to hers. "If you work with me, you can get revenge."

She didn't look affected by his closer as she asked, "Revenge?"

"They did this to your body, right? And wasn't it their fault that he's gone?" Her eyes widen at that and he smirked. "Work with me and that could happen. First you can destroy the angels and then I can return your body back to normal. I know a way."

While they were talking, Ichigo and Mint entered the building.

"Are you sure she's here?" Ichigo asked.

Mint answered, "She should still be taking pictures here."

"How do you know all of this?"

"I have my ways. Look! Barely anyone is here!"

"Lucky! Okay, let's split up and then look for her." Mint nodded and she went to her right. Ichigo went to her left and they started searching for her.

"Onee-sama! Where are you?" Mint asked, out loud.

She saw one room that had a door open and she entered it. She stopped running though when she saw what was inside. Both Kish and Zakuro were looking at her direction and Kish was the only one grinning. Seeing them together probably wasn't what surprised her but how close they were did.

"No…" Mint stared. "Please tell me you're lying… Onee-sama!" Kish backed away from Zakuro and licked his lips.

"Gotcha!" His hand made sand appeared and he aimed it at Mint. She put her hands on her head to try and block the sand as it circled around her and she let out a cry.

Hearing her, Ichigo turned the other way and saw some of the sand coming out of a room. Worried, she ran for it and yelled, "Mint!" She ran to about right outside the room and she saw the sand flying everywhere and Kish was there, flouting in the air. "What is this?" she asked.

His grin grew and he yelled, "This is punishment for being late!" He threw another blast of sand and this time, it covered Mint completely in a ball of sand. The last thing Ichigo heard before the sand disappeared was the cry of Mint. Ichigo's eyes widen in terror.

"No!" she yelled. She entered and looked around for Mint. "Mint! Where are you?! Mint!" She looked at Kish and asked, "What have you've done?"

"All I did was made her disappear. She won't come back forever, depending on the situation," he told her. That made her more terrified for her friend's safety.

"Bring her back!"

"Well then," he started. He landed back on the ground and got out of the way between both Ichigo and Zakuro. "The two of you fight." Zakuro was a bit surprised to hear that and Ichigo looked angry.

"What are you getting at?!" she yelled.

Kish let out a chuckled and explained the rules. "The winner gets to work with me and I'll return her back."

"That's messed up," she told him.

He told her, "Then she'll never come back."

Zakuro said, "Like I said, I don't work with anyone!"

"Then you're never be normal." Kish got her that. "Think about it a little more. Bye!" Then he disappeared in his usual black orb. Ichigo was starting to cry.

Being overwhelmed with emotion, she yelled, "This is your fault, Zakuro! If you had become a member in the first place, this wouldn't have happened!" Zakuro only stared at her with cold eyes as Ichigo started having tears leak out of hers.

Zakuro walked right passed her and said, "This has nothing to do with me." Zakuro left the room and Ichigo was left alone, crying. She cried a few minutes before she took out her blotch.

"Keiichiro! Ryou! Please answer!"

'Ichigo-san? What's wrong?'

"Kish took Mint somewhere and I don't know where! He said that unless I fight with Zakuro, she'll never come back! He even said that the winner will work with him. I don't want to fight her!"

'Hold on, Ichigo-san. I'll do a search on the location of Mint now!'

Ichigo heard typing sounds in the background as she waited for Keiichiro to be done. Then she heard a beep.

'Found her!'

"Where is she?"

'She seems to be in a different dimension but she's okay.'

"Thank goodness."

'But the bad news is that she probably won't last long. The dimension that Kish created is starting to shrink.'

"No! What do I do? We have to do something quick!"

Then she heard Ryou, 'Do you want to go fight Zakuro?'

"What the heck does that mean?"

He answered, 'You said that unless you and Zakuro fight, he won't return Mint. That's a lie. He plans on first destroying Mint and then defeating you and Zakuro one by one.'

"Then what should I do? I don't know what to do anymore!"

'Do you really believe that she's a friend? Zakuro I mean?'

"Where are you getting at?"

'Just answer the question. Do you believe that she is a friend?'

Ichigo took a minute but she nodded. "Yes, I do."

'Then go tell her. A different path might be created if you tell her your feelings.'

"Ryou…"

Keiichiro told her, 'It will defiantly work, if you believe. That's what angels are good at; believing and forgiving.'

Feeling a bit better, Ichigo nodded and smiled. "Okay! I'll do it!"

She put her blotch away and then headed for the door. But before she left the room, she saw a red rose. Curious, she walked towards it and picked it up. It looked like a regular red rose with a note under it. She opened the note and read it.

To my dearest.

Ichigo rummage through her head but she didn't think of anyone who would call her that; not even Kish. Since it could be Zakuro's, she put the note and the rose down and ran out of the room.

Trying to find out where Zakuro went to, she ran all over the floors and looked at the signs on the doors. She finally found the one room that Zakuro went in but the moment she entered, someone saw her and stopped her.

"Excuse me, but are you authorized to enter here?" the woman asked. Ichigo got really nervous.

"Um…how should I say this? I…" she mumbled.

The woman raised a brow and told her, "You shouldn't enter here without permission." Ichigo looked down at the ground, defeated.

"She's alright," they both heard. They both looked up and Zakuro approached them.

Surprised, Ichigo asked, "Zakuro?"

Believing her, the woman said, "Alright, then. Bye." She walked away and headed out the door. Since she was gone, Zakuro and Ichigo could talk now.

"What did you come here to talk about?" Zakuro asked.

Ichigo walked a little closer to her and said, "Time is running out. Ryou told me that we can save Mint using your amazing powers."

"Ryou?" Zakuro asked, confused. Then she got it. "So that's the name of the one who changed me. I have no intention of helping selfish people for whatever reason."

"But," Ichigo started, gaining back her attention. "She's my important friend! We can't have even on person missing. I promise that we'll find the other two but please, Zakuro! We need you." Zakuro stared in surprised at that.

Her eyes relaxed and she asked, "You… didn't come here to fight me?" Ichigo was taken back by that but she shook her head.

The director yelled, "Zakuro-san! It's time!"

Zakuro looked at him from the corner of her eyes and then walked towards the set. Ichigo reached for her, but stopped. Since all she could do was watch and wait for commercial. Ichigo went behind a camera and watched the show. Apparently the show is 'Ani Ani Animal'.

But what Ichigo and Zakuro didn't realize was that, outside the room where the one lady went out, someone was waiting for her. Kish appeared in front of her and she stopped to stare at him.

"Excuse me but do you have an appointment?" she asked.

He smirked and went up to her. He grabbed her hands and answered, "I have an appointment…with you."

She turned a bit red and asked, "With…me?" His smirked widen as he nodded.

She stared deep into his red eyes and he stared back at her. He said, "You hate this life don't you? Watching all of these stars go on the set and presenting their beauty to TV? You wanted that didn't you but they didn't want you? You don't have to suffer anymore. Just trust me and I promise that I will make you a star."

Almost like she was in a hypnosis, she looked embarrassed and mumbled, "A star?"

He nodded and went closer to her neck. "A star and all you have to do is trust me. Will you trust me?"

She nodded and answer, "I trust you."

"That's a good girl."

He opened his mouth to reveal two long fangs and then he bit her. Almost like the pain he gave woke her up, her eyes widen in pain and she tried to scream but she couldn't He deepened his bite and then sucked more blood from her. He needs to hurry and finish her.

Meanwhile, it's been ten minutes since the show started and Ichigo's blotched started beeping. She looked at it and it wasn't a call. It's a warning. She looked around but no Kish. Then she saw a light outside the studio. She ran out into the hallway and the lights nearly blinded her. But she was able to see Kish.

"Kish?" she called, surprised. She covered her eyes to protect them but that made her unnoticeable of Kish's closure. He grabbed her wrists and then pushed her to the ground. "What do you want?" she asked opening her eyes and looking at him.

He told her, "It was trouble-some enough with just the two of you and if more keep adding then it will be difficult. But it's easy if I take care of you one by one." She struggled to get away from him but he was too strong for her human form. "But don't worry, koneko-chan. I won't kill you because you're my special toy." She just kept on struggling. "It's no use. You can't do anything with your human powers." He started laughing and Ichigo noticed something moving behind him. A black giant figure slithered from the hallway to the studio. "Now Zakuro can't transform! Kill the girl first!"

"No! Zakuro!" She went back to struggling as she yelled, "Let go! Let go!!" Finally, she lifted her leg up and kicked him hard in his chest. He let go of her from the pain and she used that chance to get away from him.

"No, wait!" he yelled, but she didn't listen.

"Mew Mew Strawberry Metamorphosis!" Ichigo entered the room, while transforming and Kish growled towards her direction.

Inside, a giant snake kirema anima was tossing humans around like toys and everyone was screaming and trying to run away, all except Zakuro. In Ani Ani Animal, the special guest gets introduced to an animal and everyone sees how brave they are against animals. One of Zakuro's animals was a snake. The snake was on Zakuro's neck and shoulder and it wrapped around her like that. She tried to get the snake, off but it wouldn't move.

"Go, Garara!" Kish yelled, entering the room. The kirema anima readied her tail at Zakuro but Ichigo went in front of her.

"Stop it!" she yelled, protecting her.

The kirema anima hit Ichigo and she went crashing into a wall. The kirema anima grabbed Ichigo and then started squeezing her. Ichigo felt humungous pain all over her body as the kirema anima tightened its grip around Ichigo.

Weakly, Ichigo yelled to Zakuro, "Zakuro…run!"

A bit shock by that, she asked, "Why?"

Ichigo answered, "Because…" she didn't get to finish it completely. The snake tightened the grip but she breathed out, "You're a friend." Zakuro's eyes widen in pure surprise from that.

Kish gritted his teeth and ordered, "Kill her!"

The snake didn't let go of Ichigo or tightened the grip around her anymore. The snake's whole upper body glowed blue and then let out a blast at Zakuro's direction. The last thing Ichigo saw before the blast hit her third companion was a purple light. The blast disappeared and Zakuro disappeared too.

"Za…kuro…" she called. Kish flouted to Ichigo and lifted her face to make her look at him.

"She's not your friend. She ran away."

Ichigo looked the other way with her eyes and told him, "It's okay since I told her to."

He let out a sigh and said, "You'll end up dying for real at this rate. I know you want to go back with me, but I'm afraid that's never going to happen after that little attack you pulled on me." He didn't stop there, though. He went closer to her and said, "But one last kiss wouldn't hurt." Since she couldn't do anything, she couldn't stop him. He closed his eyes and leaned closer to her. Before long, his lips were pressed against hers. Being in pain, she closed her eyes and her cheeks flared up.

After a minute, he broke the kiss and grinned. "Bye-bye, koneko-chan."

"Ribbon Mint Echo!!" From the corner of their eyes, both Ichigo and Kish saw a blue light coming their way and Kish backed away before the arrow hit him. He barely missed it.

"What?"

"Mint!" Ichigo yelled, surprised to see her and in her Mew Mew form no less. She was also accompanied with Mew Zakuro. That only made the smile on Ichigo's face brighter and Kish angrier.

Zakuro readied her whip and yelled, "Let go of her!! Ribbon Zakuro Spear!" The whip hit the snake and the snake let go of Ichigo from the pain of Zakuro's whip. Mint flew to Ichigo and brought her back towards Zakuro.

"Ichigo? Are you okay?" she asked.

Ichigo smiled and said, "I'm glad you're all right, Mint." Mint turned a bit red at that but helped her up.

"Come on, let's defeat her!" Ichigo nodded and summoned her Strawberry Bell.

Mint started singing in high soprano and she readied her arrow. "Ribbon Mint Echo!!"

Zakuro sang a few 'yeah's and 'ooh's in a pop version and her whip glowed an even brighter purple. "Ribbon Zakuro Spear!"

Ichigo didn't sang or anything. She aimed her Strawberry Bell at the kirema anima and yelled, "Ribbon Strawberry Check!!" All three attacks went straight for the kirema anima and it was purified; soul and all. Kish stared in anger and then teleported away.

Seeing that the kirema anima is destroyed, Ichigo cheered, "We did it!" She turned to Mint and asked, "Are you okay? You had me worried there for a second."

Mint turned a bit red but said, "I'm fine. If it weren't for onee-sama, I would have been a goner." Ichigo and Mint turned toward Zakuro and Ichigo bowed down respectfully.

"Thank you, Zakuro," she told her.

Zakuro quickly said, "I don't like friends." Both Ichigo and Mint looked down in rejection to that until Zakuro added, "But for you guys, I'll make an exception." Ichigo's ear perked up and she hugged Zakuro's neck

"Hooray!"

Mint was so happy that she hugged Zakuro's arm. "Onee-sama!" Zakuro only blushed and smiled at that. She didn't seem to mind at all. Three members now and only two more to go.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

Damn this whole thing all to hell!!"

Not too far from the studio but in the ally of the city, Kish laid against a wall and gritted his teeth in pain from his ankle and the burn marks on his body. After his battle with the now three Mew Mews, his old wounds started to come back. The pain was nearly unbearable and all Kish could do was sit down and lean on the wall as it kept on stinging.

"Oh my god, are you okay?"

He looked up at the voice and he saw a concerned looking girl kneeling before him. Her forest green hair looked short but she had at least two braids in her hair that was long enough to touch the back of her knees. She has sea blue eyes and she looked curvy. Her skin looked so beautiful even though all he could see is the skin on her face. Everything else looked covered with clothes; even her hands had on leathered gloves on. She seems like a shy girl, especially with the big round glasses she has.

She touched his face, his arm, and his ankle where some of his marks started to appear. She didn't seem to be scared of his appearance like he expected her to be. She asked again, "Are you okay? What happened?"

Seeing her neck starting to bare from her leaning closer to him, he couldn't control it anymore. He needed blood and he needed it now. He grabbed her sleeve and then pulled her closer. She got a bit nervous but didn't say anything as she felt his cold breath against her neck. He opened his mouth to ready his fangs but something stopped him. Someone else pulled the girl out of Kish's arms and then pushed him back against the wall.

"Don't touch her, Kish," he told him. The shy girl, cling to her savior but she dare not touch him with her skin.

Kish brushed the hand off his head and asked, "What the hell are you doing with a human unharmed, Sardon? You know just as well as I that human blood quenches our thirst." The girl started to shake after hearing that. The one known as Sardon, made hushing noises in her ear to calm her down before he talked to Kish again.

He told him, "I know, but she's not dinner. She's more than that."

Kish spit and then asked, "Keeping a human as a pet or having a relationship with one? You know that it's forbidden."

He answered, "I know but she's not just any human." Kish raised a brow and then he got it.

"She's…" Sardon nodded before Kish could finish it. Kish smirked and then asked, "So then what am I going to eat? As you can see, I need the blood." Sardon went to his bag and took out a white bag that looked like it has a straw attached to it.

"Here! That probably works better than the ones you took before," he told Kish as he tossed the white bag to him. He caught it and he read the label.

Type: A

"You stole blood from the blood bank? Man, you are one wacked out doctor." Sardon didn't seem mused by Kish's comment.

"Just drink the blood and then find your blood to feed you." Sardon lead the other girl to the other way and she fallowed, still clinging to him.

Kish smirked and then yelled, "No problem! It's a city. I'll find a lot of them!"
