'Who- who are you?' asked Kashi looking the blonde haired alien up and down. He smiled,
'Just an acquaintance,' he said calmly. Pai frowned,
'I know who you are…' he growled, 'Step away from Kish, what are you doing here you bastard!' He stepped forward and touched Kish's arm, to see if he was unconscious or not.
'Get Ichigo out of here,' he heard the emerald hair alien murmur under his voice, 'please,' he begged. Pai blinked and slowly raised his head to see that same alien laughing.
'I told him not to come near my girlfriend again, but then I see them together threw the window,' he snickered darkly and bared his teeth at the almost unconscious Kish below him, 'I did warn him.' Suika shook her head fiercely, suddenly interrupting the pair,
'How, how could you? Don't you know this is the boy that set you and our people free, what did he ever do to you!' she exclaimed holding back tears as she rushed to her brother's side. 'Kisshu…Kish,' she stammered.
'Weakling,' muttered Kashi.
'Shut Up!' screeched Suika clenching onto her brother's shirt.
'I will not shut up! Why should I?' Kashi retorted angrily, 'Idiot, couldn't even kill from some random bastard like this?'
The two were cut off by a chuckle from the attacking alien, 'Oh please, like I even had to fight this scum, he wouldn't touch me, he wouldn't dare touch me!' he interrupted crudely, 'Not if he wanted to be hated by Ichigo forever!' Suika raised her head and wiped away her tears sharply,
'How- how do you know Ichigo?' she asked. The boy smiled,
'Why, she's my girlfriend,' he grinned, 'the name is…well you can call me the Blue Knight.'
'Why'd you do this to him, he didn't do anything with Ichigo, she told us so,' continued Suika, 'Why don't you just leave!' she cried sobbing into her brother's chest. He moaned slightly and turned his head.
There was blood seeping from his abdomen, it seemed the Blue Knight, had already caused a lot of damage. His eyes were shut, but he was still breathing.
'Yes,' said a voice coldly form nearby, 'Why don't you just leave.'
Excluding Kisshu all four aliens turned to see the silhouette of the young Helen, who had started all this. Ichigo scowled at the blue alien. 'How could you, Aoyama, how could you, what did Kish do?' she asked hurt.
'He tried to take you away from me!' the blue knight growled at the red head unsurprised by her appearance, 'Ichigo, he was trying to break us apart, like he's always done!' Ichigo shook her head vigorously, 'No, all he wanted was for me to be happy, and even so he wouldn't need to try and woo me just to pull us apart, your doing a pretty good job of that yourself!' she screamed, 'Your always looking at other girls, you never talk to me, your over jealous and when I'm with I feel so…' she trailed off shaking.
The blue knight frowned and clenched his fists, 'so, so you like him now! Is that it,' he fumed, 'How dare you! You little slut!' He lunged at her and held her forcefully by the wrist, 'I'll teach you not to go against me!' he shouted, 'Unlike your little boyfriend here, I'll have no trouble putting an end to you! After all I've done for you! Died for you!'
'You didn't die for me!' screamed Ichigo, 'Kish died for me; you died for your precious earth! You couldn't have cared less what happened to me, when I died you showed no feelings of regret at all, I know!'
'Shut up!' he yelled furiously knocking her too the ground with the sheath of his sword. He bent down beside her and held her up by the ruff of her collar, 'Now, since there's no way I can possibly make sure, you don't go see that thing again, I'll just have to kill you now! Goodbye Ichigo!' he yelled as he rose his sword; a look of pure hatred glued to his face.
Kashi froze.
'No, Ichigo!' yelled Suika.
'Stop!' yelled a small voice from behind the two, the familiarity pausing Aoyama momentarily, 'Please, please don't hurt her,' stuttered Kish lifting his head to gaze at the murderous half-alien, 'Please, you know as well as I do, there is a way you can make sure she never sees me again, please just don't hurt her, I'll do anything,' he begged.
Aoyama's face twisted into a terrible grin, 'I was hoping you'd say that,' he murmured dropping Ichigo to the floor and, she whimpered as she hit the floor, before getting up slowly. Aoyama, moved closer to Kish. Kashi and Suika tried to stop him, but he trust them both away with one arm, sending them hurtling against a wall. Kish didn't move, until the Blue Knight pulled him up by the hair. He groaned and breathed in sharply. Aoyama held his sword against Kish's neck, sending a shudder threw his spine. Kish's breathing was jagged and uneven but he still managed to speak, 'Get it over with,' he mumbled.
'Kish,' whispered Ichigo dazed. She had figured he hated her. I mean, hadn't it been him who had said she had; 'No place in his life,' she thought silently to herself. She had to help him.
Aoyama smiled and nodded agreeing. 'As you wish,' he sniggered before thrusting the blade into Kish's chest. Kish cried out in pain, but bit his tongue to silence himself.
'Kisshu!' screamed Ichigo as she ran towards the two of them. Aoyama tried to hold her back but she had grabbed one of Kish's swords that was laying on the ground as she had ran and now thrust it into Aoyama's arm, trying to do as little damage as possible still managing to make him release Kish. Luckily it worked. The Blue Knight dropped Kisshu and staggered back, cradling his arm.
'Kish, Kish…Kisshu?' croaked Ichigo shaking Kish's arm gently. He stirred slightly, moaning and twisting uncomfortably. 'Not again,' whispered Ichigo staring down at the alien wide eyed.
'I'll be back soon,' said Aoyama suddenly vanishing, but Ichigo wasn't listening. Kashi and Suika stirred and moved to join her, kneeling by their fallen brother.
'Is he…' stuttered Kashi, for the first time showing some sign of genuine emotion for his brother. Ichigo shook her head, and sighed,
'He's breathing, but I- I don't know how long he can…' she started but she was cut off by a voice beside her. Pai had reappeared.
'Is he alright?' he asked.
'Where have you been?' asked Suika threatingly.
'Getting help,' answered Pai immediately, and then moving away to reveal two other aliens dressed in white robes.
'This the kid?' asked one of them. Pai nodded and the two aliens walked over to Kish.
'Um, madam, we need to get at the boy to help him?' the other said directing his attention to Ichigo who was now holding Kisshu in her arms. Slowly and Reluctantly Ichigo let them take the unconscious alien from her.
'Put him on the stretcher,' said the man holding Kisshu. The other did as he was told raising the shaken boy to a white stretcher. The two men held either end of the stretcher and before they went handed a piece of paper to Pai,
'Here,' one said, 'in case his friends or the girl want to see him.' With that the two of them set of.
Pai opened up the paper and nodded to himself. 'Come on,' he said to Suika and Kashi. The two other aliens stood up and gathered round the paper. They nodded together and Suika and Pai teleported of leaving just Kashi and Ichigo.
'Come on,' said Kashi kneeling by Ichigo and offering his hand, 'We can go wait for him at the hospital.'
