MoonSparrow: ch. 11 uggg nothing else to write. Stupid writer's block monster! Well, I'll try to make this part entertaining so that even if you don't like the story, at least you have this to look forward to.

Keiichiro: I haven't been here before.

MoonSparrow: Do you happen to have a pie on you?

Keiichiro: Yes, here. (Hands MoonSparrow pie)

MoonSparrow: (Smashes face into pie) yum! Yo, Ryou, Pai, Kish, Tart, get over here. K-man do you have like a lot of cakes and other messy treats?

Keiichiro: (understands evil plan and laughs) yep, here you are. (Places many treats in front of her.)

MoonSparrow: sweet.

(All come and look at the treats in wonder)

MoonSparrow: Ryou come 'ere. (Ryou walks over) (MoonSparrow smashes cake in Ryou's face.) Food Fight.

Ryou: (Squirts pudding all over MoonSparrow)

MoonSparrow: Nice. (Grins evilly) Ryou, I Luuv you. (Hugs Ryou, spreading all pudding on him)

(The rest is… messy. Anyways, enjoy the chapter! (Ducks to dodge flying treats)

"You, you were running away from me?" Keiichiro was dumbfounded. Mint ran away and sat in the rain for almost hour, to get away from him. He was hurt deeply by this.

"You hate me any way. Why do you even care? I'm nothing but a bother to you aren't I?" Tears tore down from her eyes. Mint felt useless, pathetic, small. Keiichiro didn't even bother to answer her when she confessed her love. That, in Mint's mind meant that he didn't care.

Everyone stared at the K-man in a questioning way. They all though that he had said all those things to the young, emotional mush ball that was Mint.

"Mint, I don't hate you. I do love you, just not that way. You are more like a close childhood friend or a sister to me. I didn't answer you at first because I was shocked at you saying that you loved me. I'm sorry that it isn't meant to be for us but I certainly do not hate you. You're, you're, Mint. Mint, you are young and beautiful. And you are continuously becoming more alluring every day. I pity the young man that doesn't snap you up the moment he looks into those beauteous pools of endless blue."

Mint sniffled. Did he really mean that? He doesn't have a reason to lie. Oh I love him so. Mint just stared into the two warm eyes that she always saw when she'd come into work or for Mew duty or whenever. His eyes were cordial and welcoming. He'd always be whom she loves, even if it isn't meant to be.

"Keiichiro, I love you." Mint's tears went into his shirt as she hugged him.

"And I, you. I wish we can always stay friends. I wouldn't want to lose my younger sister of sorts." They both giggled at that last part.

"Now, who's up for some chai tea?" Everyone smiled at the K-man and nodded.

"Okay, Kish, I'm ready for our date." Ichigo stepped into view in a flow-y, pink, knee length dress.

"You look amazing, Ichigo." Kish was awe-struck by her appearance. Her playful amber eyes full of excitement and joy. Her auburn hair was curly and wavy all around. She wore a knee length pink dress with straps and it was a heart like shape around the bust line. It shimmered a little in the light. Ichigo also wore deep red stilettos that had straps going criss cross acrossed her feet. Jade earrings dangled from her ears. A necklace of a heart and both of Kish's daggers going through it hung around Ichigo's neck. She was the picture of beauty.

"Kish? Are you alright?" Ichigo's angelic voice called to Kisshu's ears. Apparently, Kish had been spacing out for a while.

"I'm always fine when I'm with you, Kitty cat." Kish said with fondness caressing his flirting voice.

Ichigo blushed. "Aww, Kish. You're such a flirt." Ichigo flashed her beautiful smile again. Kish loved her smile.

Ichigo reached forward and grabbed Kisshu's hand. She began to pull him as her playful voice said, "C'mon Kish, let's go."

Like a drop of sunshine, Kish decided in his mind. Ichigo's smile is like a drop of sunshine. It can always brighten a room and a mood. "I'm so lucky to have her." Kish thought.

They went to a small clearing in the woods. A creek ran by, babbling down its winding path. Ichigo set down the picnic cloth that they were going to sit on. Kish sat down with Ichigo as they began to eat their picnic. The sun was setting and the colors of orange, red, pink, and purple flew across the sky. They were having a wonderful time.

"Oh Kish. This is so amazing. I'm glad we came." Hearing her cheery voice made Kish happy. He liked that Ichigo was having a good time and he liked being with her. Interrupting Kish's thoughts was a rustle from the bushes. They both looked to see what it was.

"Hello, who's there?" Ichigo's question echoed slightly. The reply that she received was a low almost growl and Masaya appearing from the bushes.

"Masaya?" Both of their voices rang in a questioning unison.

An eerie, evil like grin crept onto his face. "Miss me?" His eyes had a crazed appeal to them. His voice and expression made him seem like he was out for blood. A long object glinted from behind him as the last rays of sun touched it.

Kish stood up and got in front of Ichigo. Ichigo saw what had grabbed his attention and stood up as well.

"Kish, no, I don't want to lose you!" Ichigo pleaded from behind.

"Not to worry, Ichigo. You won't have to lose him. But he might have to grieve over loosing you." A small but just as evil chuckle escaped Masaya's lips. "If I can't have her, no one can. That's why I thought I'd come and rid the world of any temptations." His voice was rough but the grin on his face grew to be even more evil looking.

Masaya stepped forward and pushed Kish aside, knocking him to the ground. Then, he charged at Ichigo with great speed. Too bad for him that she was quicker. Ichigo jumped to a branch that was above her. She hadn't transformed but she still fought. Kish stood up and tried to reach them but was pushed out of the way by Ichigo as she screamed, "Kisshu, look out!"

Sadly, as a result, Ichigo received a dagger to the heart. Masaya smiled, "Got'cha." Then he harshly pulled out the blood-covered dagger and raced away, leaving Ichigo to fall to the ground next to Kish. Kish stared horrorstruck at the dieing Ichigo.

"Ichigo, no." Kish was fighting back tears as blood began to flow down Ichigo's pink dress.

"Aww shucks. He got blood on my favorite dress." Though she smiled on the outside, her eyes screamed out the pain that she felt. "Love warms the soul and blinds us from pain. Unfortunatly, it also blinds us from war."

"Ichigo, it isn't too late. I can call for help." Kish was rapidly searching Ichigo's face for some kind of reply. Ichigo only smiled at Kish's kindness.

"No, Kish. I want to be remembered. Though my body will be gone, my spirit won't be. I'll be with you always." Tears that had formed in Kish's eyes were starting to meander down his face.

"And Kish," Ichigo looked straight into his eyes and grabbed the collar of his shirt to pull him toward her. "whatever you do, please, do not ever forget me." Ichigo smiled her last and slowly released her grip as she fell lightly to the ground. She was letting go of reality finally.

"Ichigo," Kish barely choked out.

"Thank you, Kisshu, for everything. See you soon."

"Ichigo, Ichigo!" Kisshu screamed as tears of pain, sorrow, and loss streamed down his face onto Ichigo's lifeless body. He searched her eyes for something, anything. A glimmer, a sparkle, a tear. Whatever it would be it would be as beautiful as a candle in a windowsill on a cold winter night. A single flame to show that not all is lost. One glimmer of hope. There was nothing. The single flame of hope had been blown out by the cold wind.

"Ichigo!" Kish screamed again as his broken voice and shattered heart echoed against the sky.

That's when Kish shot up to a sitting position, wincing from the pain that was still there. He whipped his head around to see the farmilliar surroundings that he had gone to sleep in. He rapidly turned his head to see Ichigo, (Thank the heavens) very much so alive. He took a deep sigh of relief at the sight of the rising and falling of her chest.

"Oh," Kish put his hand on the sleeping Ichigo's shoulder. "It was only a dream."

MoonSparrow: I love dreaming sequences soo much!

Ryou: (walks in covered in various desserts) You sucketh.

MoonSparrow: C'mon, ya' know ya' love me. 3

Ryou: Yes, come give me a hug

MoonSparrow: Yeah right, slime boy

Ryou: But I do love you sooo much. (Starts to come at MoonSparrow)

MoonSparrow: Eeek! Go away! (Turns off lights, making room pitch black)

Ryou: Where are you MoonSparrow? I really do luuuv you. C'mon, I'll show ya' how much I luuv you.

Kish: Why's it so dark in here? Guys, where are y, (Kish got cut off)

MoonSparrow: (turns on light to see Kish and Ryou kissing) Egads!

(Ryou and Kisshu open eyes to see that they are kissing each other and pull away quickly.)

MoonSparrow: Ha ha! Ryou I win. (Sticks tongue out.) By the way I'm thinking that I might do a Crossover of +Anima and T.M.M and of Maximum Ride and +Anima. So, tell me what you think. (I've got me some ideas)

See y'all 'round! Byez! (Smiles and does peace sign)
