Here's the next chapter for everybody!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sound of that one word echoed several times before it was quiet again. Kish stared at Mint, her face red and blotchy, a finger pointed in his direction. He was shocked, completely and utterly shocked as the word repeated over and over in his mind.
Murderer…
"What did you do with Ichigo, Kish!? Did you kill her!?" Mint questioned in a fierce voice. "Did you kill her too!?" She started to cry again, unable to bear the thought of his answer.
Murderer…
Lettuce stared straight ahead, looking through Kish, lost in her own thoughts. Pudding sat down near the Blue Knight, staring, just like Lettuce, unblinkingly. Aubrie was the only one who made a move. She left her edge of the clock face, which hadn't moved despite their previous efforts, and ran closer to Kish. Crumbled walls and wooden beams crumbled underneath her weight, making it difficult for her to move forward, but she kept going until she was so close to Kish she was almost underneath him.
Aubrie stared… and stared… and stared. To her, there was something familiar about this figure with the green hair, golden eyes, and midriff revealing clothing. Suddenly, she gave a shout that awakened the Mews from their startled positions. Her eyes widened, and she started to jump up and down, yelling something to them. Aubrie kept gesturing from Kish, to Aoyama, and then back to Kish. The Mews just gave her puzzled looks, what was she talking about?
Understanding that she was getting nowhere, Aubrie sprinted over to Mint. She reached into the Mew's pocket, and pulled out her oval-shaped pendant. After sharing some quick words with Ryou, Aubrie forced the pendant back into Mint's hand.
"Mint, are you there? Mint?" Ryou called calmly through the pendant's speaker.
Composing herself, Mint responded, voice cracking slightly, "Hai."
"According to Aubrie, Kish, or as she calls him, the green-and-yellow guy, was fighting with the Blue Knight when the tower collapsed. She said she saw the fight outside the tower when she was walking by."
The Mews looked at Aubrie, gesturing rapidly to the two guys, and understood immediately.
MURDERER…

Sorry, it's a short chapter, but I'll have the next one up soon!
To tell you the truth, I'm not that big of an Aoyama fan. He just seems too perfect! Even if he is this big, bad evil guy, he's way too perfect!
Though, I do think Ichigo and Kish are cute together… 3
'Till next time, read and review!
