Here is chapter 10. Hope you enjoy.
"Ichigo?" Kisshu whispered, shocked.
Ichigo bit her lip to prevent herself from screaming. Her dress dripped in blood and she felt like she was about to faint.
"Why would you do that?" He asked, confused.
"K...Kill me if you want," Ichigo whispered as pearl shaped tears rolled down her cheeks from her wide, pink luminous eyes, "But please don't hurt my parents. I beg you, please don't hurt them because of me."
Kisshu held her close to him. He could do nothing but stare at her desperate and helpless state. Her hair was a mess and her face became pale. She could feel her shaking, she was practically begging him to let them go. Ichigo hated how weak she looked in front of her enemy but her pride was of little importance to her compared to her family. She wasn't going to let her parents get dragged into this. Never.
"So this is it?" Kisshu asked, "This is all you can take? Is that all the torture you can handle? You aren't as strong as I thought you were. Thought you could've handled some more pain."
Ichigo gulped, "If you knew what true pain felt like, you would never be able to give others pain in this way, from the same species or not."
Kisshu gave a small laugh, "You are wrong there," he told her, "You would only give pain to others if you know what it feels like. And what you are feeling right now is nothing compared to the pain I felt. Pain drains the life out of people, Ichigo."
Kisshu gave her a lifeless smile.
"Look at you, so innocent and faultless. I was like you once, look what it did to me."
Kisshu pulled her up and gave a her a quick kiss in the forehead, "Try to stay alive."
He said nothing else to Ichigo before he disappeared.
"Ichigo!" Ryou screamed.
The other Mew Mews gasped in horror. They ran over to Ichigo to see if she was alright.
"Why did she do that?" Zakuro and Mint asked. They all let go of their weapons and were focused on Ichigo. Lettuce and Pudding sat down beside her.
"We need to get her out of here," Ryou told them.
"What about the aliens?" Lettuce asked.
"We don't have time for them. We need to help Ichigo first."
The Mew Mews took Ichigo to safety.
"Why did she do that?" Pai asked calmly.
Kisshu shrugged in reply.
"What did you tell her?"
"I told her that her parents are alive."
"What?" Taruto asked, surprised.
"She's interesting, quiet different from the others," Kisshu sighed.
"I think she just like the rest. She only saved you because she was desperate."
"She saved me because I gave her hope."
"You do you realise that now she's gone, we can't continue with our research," Pai said, there was a hint of anger in his voice, "Now we have start everything again and-"
"No, Pai," Kisshu interrupted "I already injected her."
"What?!" Pai and Taruto exclaimed.
"It's fine, you got what you wanted," Kisshu was confused and unable to describe or make sense of emotions. All he felt before was anger and now there was a slight guilt and some regret. But whatever he was feeling, his face showed no emotions to go along with it and stayed the usual hard and cold Pai and Taruto were so familiar with.
"What's wrong with you Kisshu?" Taruto asked, "You usually tell us everything, now you're making plans without us."
"It's fine. It was no big deal. No big deal at all..." he repeated.
"She's going to die in a few days."
