Chapter 10 – The power of our love

Ichigo's POV

I felt my body floating…floating in a sea of darkness…darkness that scared me…where was I? I don't like this place…I don't like this darkness…where was everyone…?

'Ichigo…' I heard someone calling me, I looked around but I found no one

'Ichigo…' I heard that voice again; I looked once more around me and saw nobody just like last time, who was calling me?

"Who is there? W-Who is calling me? Show yourself!" I demanded, it was scaring me, scaring me just like this whole darkness surrounding me. Suddenly a huge flash of light shined around me, I had to cover my eyes, I have been surrounded by darkness for so long that now this light was too much for my eyes to take at once

'Ichigo…' came that voice again, the whole place once covered by darkness was now covered by light, I adjusted my eyes to the light and opened them

"Ichigo, my daughter…" said the voice, daughter…? Wait…could it be…I looked up and saw a woman a lot like me standing above me, she had short red hair, a bit brighter than mine, her hazel eyes were like mine too, she was wearing a long white dress, and again just like me she had a pair of black cat ears coming from her head and a black tail came from under her dress, a pair of white wings came from her back, slowly she landed in front of me, a kind smile crossed her lips as she looked at me.

"My daughter…look how you grew up…you are a beautiful girl just like I always knew you would be" I was speechless…this woman standing in front of me was…my…

"Mom?" Finally word came from my lips "Mom…is that you…?" it's true that I always said that I missed my parents a lot but I couldn't remember them extremely well, I was only three when they both died in that tragic battle, twelve years ago…but from the memories I had from my mother, I remembered that she was a very gentle woman and a great wife and mother, I remembered how my parents looked thanks to the photos I had from them but that's all…she smiled once again at me and nodded

"Yes, Ichigo it's me, I'm here" I started feeling my eyes watering and before I knew I was hugging my mother and crying in her chest, I felt her warm arms surrounding me and holding me close to her, in a protective way, one of her hands was caressing my ruby hair…

"Oh mom! I missed you so much!" I cried, I felt my mother smiling again at me as she kept caressing my hair

"I know my kitten, I know you did…" she murmured, I finally stopped crying and raised my head from her chest so I could look at her; I was still confused and had questions to do.

"Mom…where am I? And…and what happened to me? How are you here? Am…am I dead?" my mother's hazel eyes saddened at this, she let me go but her eyes never left me out of sight, she sighed before she started speaking

"Ichigo…you're not dead…yet…you're in a kind of deep coma and you must wake up now or you won't able to do it…ever…" my eyes widened in surprise and shock but before I could say anything, my mother keep talking "You were badly injured by the demons' leader when you tried to protect Kisshu, stopping him from getting killed"

When my mother mentioned the name of my lover, I couldn't help but starting to feel very worried

"K-Kisshu! W-Where is he? Is he alright?" I asked, kind of raising my voice tone, I was worried about the one I loved, I had to make sure that nothing bad had happened to him after I lost my battle against the demons leader and lost consciousness

"Don't worry, Ichigo, he is alright, he has a couple of wounds but they are nothing compared to yours. Your friends arrived just in time and took you to the place where the wounded people were being taken care of, so you could be aided immediately. Two of your friends took care of your wound and stopped the bleeding but now it's up to you, my daughter, you must find your strength to wake up or the darkness will come again and will take you away, you won't be able to wake up again if that happens…" said my mother, I looked down

My strength…I had to find my strength to wake up…but where was it…? Where was my strength…?

'Ichigo…wake up please…' I gasped, this voice…it didn't belong to my mother this time! I…I recognized this voice! 'wake up my love, I'm here, I'm here for you, I'm here and I won't ever leave you…forgive me…forgive me my kitty…if I last I was stronger, if I wasn't so weak, if I didn't let that demon defeat me so easily nothing like this would have happened…it's my fault but please…please Ichigo wake up, open your eyes, I want to see those brown eyes of yours shining at me and that wonderful smile again…I lost you once before…I don't want to lose you again, not forever…I love you, I love you more than my own life…don't leave me Ichigo…you're everything to me, you're all I have left…my parents are gone and now my grandfather…and I didn't even had the chance to tell him that…that I loved him but specially…that I forgave him…I forgave him for all his errors in the past…don't leave me too my kitten…you're everything to me…it's you who cheer me up when I'm down, it's you who make me feel warm inside, it's you who make my heart beat so fast that it seems it's going to jump out of my chest, it's you who give me strength to keep living every day, to keep fighting, you're my life Ichigo, you're my light…you're my kitty, my guardian angel…don't leave me…don't leave me please…I beg you…I don't know how I'm going to live without you…I love you…I love you more than anything…' Kisshu…this voice…it belonged to my love! I was starting to feel weird…I was feeling strange…I felt…warm…strong…was this…the strength that my mother told me I had to find…? I looked again at my mother, she was smiling kindly at me and I noticed she was starting to fade away

"M-Mom…? W-What 's happening…?" she keep smiling at me and placed a hand on my face but now I only felt air, I couldn't feel her warm touch against my skin anymore..

"You're waking up, my kitty…you found your strength, Kisshu is your strength" I was right then…my love was my strength…yes…he was the reason why I woke up every morning, he was the reason I smiled, I cried, blushed, laughed, he was everything to me…"Goodbye my daughter, be happy and remember…me and your father will always watch over you and we will always love you" with those words my disappeared completely out of my sight and everything around me started shining once again…the next thing I remember was the feeling something against me…lips brushing over mine and then someone cuddling next to me, warm and strong arms wrapped around my weak body…

"Ki…sshu…" I murmured low and weak but I think he was able to hear me, I felt him moving and when I noticed, a pair of golden eyes was staring at me…

"I-Ichigo…? You…you're awake…" he murmured, I tried my best to smile, I saw that in his amber eyes were starting to form tears and they fell on my face. I raised a hand and wiped his eyes but before I could finish doing it, he pulled me into his arms and held me close to him, tightly and protective…

"Kisshu…" I whispered, one of his hands was on the back of my head, stroking my hair while the other rested on my back

"Thank god you're awake! I…I thought I had lost you forever!" I felt my shoulder getting wet and I knew he was crying again, I didn't know what exactly I could tell him so all I could do was use one of hands to stroke his green hair "Ichigo…" I heard him speaking again "Never but never try something like that ever again…I…I can't bare this pain again…"

"I'm sorry Kisshu…I didn't mean to worry you…but I just couldn't stand there and watching him hurt you…or worse…kill you…I knew I could do something to stop him so I did it…" I felt him tighten his grip on me but I was able to take my face off his shoulder so I could walk him in the eyes, no words left my lips, nor his, we simply moved our faces forward and locked our lips on each other, first soft and calm and then deeper and with passion, I felt something surrounding my body and I could tell it wasn't Kisshu's arms, no…it was something else, like some kind of energy…some kind of strength…still kissing my love, I opened slightly my eyes and what I saw surprised me a lot, both me and Kisshu were wrapped around in celestial blue light. I broke the kiss and he opened his eyes too, surprised filled them when he saw the same light.

"What the…" he whispered just surprised as me but soon that light disappeared, leaving both of us confused and wondering what had just happened

"What was that…" I murmured, I looked around and then back to Kisshu and that's when I saw something different on him "K-Kisshu! Y-Your wounds! They are gone!" Kisshu looked at me confused but then took a look at his arms and legs, confirming what I said, he was fully healed, the wounds that once were on his body were no longer there, not even one.

"W-Wow…my wounds had healed back there too, not much longer after you…were attacked by the demons' leader, I…I lost control of myself and a different power woke up inside me, my serious wounds healed but when I fought him again I won a few more, not so serious like the other ones…how…how is it possible that they are healed again…?" I couldn't answer his question because I didn't know either, I was asking myself the same thing…still I dared to take a look at my own body, I looked at my arms, no wounds, I looked at my legs, no wounds either…finally I looked at the place where the worse wound was supposed to be…but…the bandage wrapped around my waist up to my chest didn't have any blood. Carefully I started taking the bandage off my body.

"What are you doing? You can't take that bandage off!" said Kisshu but this time I ignored him and keep taking the bandage off, I noticed that Kisshu's face was turning red, it almost looked like my hair's color, he looked away, I was wondering why he do that but then I saw that my chest was bare because I took the bandage off. I quickly spread an arm over it but my eyes didn't take my waist out of sight, a wound was supposed to be there but I couldn't find anything, my skin was clean, no blood, no scar…Kisshu saw this by the corner of his eye and they widened in shock.

"H-How is this possible…?" I murmured, both me and Kisshu were more confused than ever

"I have no idea…" whispered Kisshu, soon forgetting about the sudden disappearance of ours wounds I looked again at Kisshu before I asked him:

"Where are the others, Kisshu?"

"Outside, they have been praying for you to wake up as soon as possible" a small smile appeared on my face, I took the blanket that covered my legs and wrapped it around my whole body

"Where are you going?" he asked

"Out, I want to see my friends, Kish" understanding my plea, he nodded and helped me up, we both walked out the tent we were, not too long after Kisshu stepped out the tent I heard Ryou's worried voice

"Was there any reaction from…" he didn't finish the phrase since his eyes looked immediately at me once I stepped out the tent, following Kisshu "…her…"

"Ichigo!" yelled my friends when they saw me; in a couple of seconds I had a group of six girls hugging me at the same time

"Girls!" I said happy as I wrapped my arms around them and hugged them back, some of them were crying, others were just smiling

"Oh sis, you worried us so much!" said Berry, I didn't say anything, I just hugged her and she hugged me back, I noticed Masaya, Ryou and Keiichiro approaching me so I turned around to face them

"Even though you're awake now, you still should be laying down and resting strawberry" said Ryou, how I hated when he called me strawberry! "That wound could have been fatal and might open again if you start walking around as if nothing happened to you"

I sighed and looked again at him "It won't open, Ryou…" I saw him raising an eyebrow confused, slowly I uncovered my waist, leaving now only my chest covered by the blanket, showing everyone that there was no wound, neither a wound nor a scar, nothing, everyone looked at the place where the wound was supposed to be in shock and their eyes widened

"B-But how is that possible..?" W-We saw it with our eyes, there was very deep wound, right in that place! It pierced you from side to side! How come there is nothing?" said Berry

"We don't know but something weird happened when both me and Kisshu kissed…there was a celestial blue light that surrounded us and when it disappeared, the wound were gone along with as if by magic, not even blood was there" I explained, everyone was confused just like me and Kisshu were back there, the only one that didn't seem confused was Keiichiro, he looked more intrigued than confused…

"You said that a celestial blue light surrounded both of you and then your wounds were gone as if by magic…?" he said, I blinked confused but nodded in response, he put a hand on his chin and the intrigued look was still in his brown eyes, until…"No…it can't be…could it be…is it possible…?" he murmured

"What is possible, Keiichiro?" asked Ryou, we now were curious about what he was thinking, did he find out the truth behind this whole mystery?

"I remember…I'm not sure if you remember, Ryou, that our fathers spoke once about an old legend that nobody knows if it's true or not but that until now nothing happened…the legend spoke about the love between a human and an alien, the legend said that one day an alien and a human would fall deeply in love with each other and together they would defeat the demons and bring peace to the world once and for all, the whole war would end and we would all live in peace" he said as his eyes moved to both me and Kisshu, now we were more confused but at the same time surprised, we looked at each other and then back at Keiichiro

"You mean…" I started speaking but I couldn't finish it since Keiichiro completed it for me

"That you two might be the legendary alien and human and plus…that celestial light that healed both of you when you kissed, could be only a part of the power of your love that is starting to wake up"
