"Kishu!" Ichigo cried running after him, she found him lying on the ground face down, next to Taru. Over them both stood deep blue.
"Kishu?" she cried stepping toward him, pudding stopped her, shaking her head.
"Mew mew pudding metamorphosis." she said. Ichigo looked at her transformer holding it out,
"Aoyama…-kun?" she whispered, tears streamed down her face. Since they defeated him, they thought it was plain old Aoyama-kun, but there stood deep blue.
"Mew mew strawberry, metamorphosis." she choked out. She looked at pudding her face was red, and she was staring at Taru. Deep blue was staring at them as well he smirked.
"Aoyama-kun." Ichigo screamed inside still shocked not moving from her metamorphosis. She looked Kishu, paining memories of him and Pai. But Pai was a good guy, Deep blue wasn't.
"Ichigo, look out." She looked up a strike of energy was coming at her. She didn't move, gasping and closing her eyes was her only response, but nothing hit her, she opened her eyes to the sound of a small explosion, an arrow bounced off the wave of energy breaking the path, sending it away from Ichigo.
"Mew mew mint." pudding cried, Ichigo turned her head slightly, Mint and Zakuro-san stood there, already transformed. Behind them stood Ryou, she still didn't move her feet. Ryou jumped down beside her. He grabbed her hand pulling her out of the way.
"Ichigo." he yelled pulling with force. She looked at him; her eyes had tears streaming down them. He looked back at her, lifting her off the ground her carried her to safety while pudding mint and Zakuro-san stayed behind to fight.
She watched them fight dodging and yelling, anger built up inside her, she didn't want to move she wanted to think she didn't have to fight. She muttered Kishu's name over and over again. Her fingers twitched. She couldn't stand it, her body was made to fight, and her heart was breaking knowing they couldn't stop him alone. They knew as well. She stood up and ran toward them Ryou called after her but she tuned him out.
She jumped off the hill basically flying toward him, she extended a leg swinging hard enough to hit him in the back, he lurched forward and spun around as Ichigo landed perfectly on the ground in front of Kishu and Taru.
"Aoyama-kun I won't forgive you for hurting Kishu or Taru." she cried, he smirked at her, he lunged at her, she gasped jumping out of the way, he stopped perfectly in front of Kishu. He grabbed him a Taru, the air riffled around him, Ichigo gasped again, coming to her feet, running as fast as she could to them, but she was too late. He was gone just as pudding jumped over her head, she landed in the grass of the park, nothingness, Ichigo collapsed below her, and she started crying.
Pudding got down next to her, curling up into a ball, she started hyperventilating. Mint and Zakuro-san came up behind them kneeling next to them, Ryou came over to Zakuro-san and draped his arms around her. She nestled in comfortably, letting a tear drip down her face.
"Kishu." Ichigo mumbled to her self, hey stayed by them mint laid a hand on her shoulder, Ichigo looked at her, Mint had a few tears on her face. She gasped loudly.
"lettuce and Pai." she choked out between sobs. She got to her feet, running toward the forest field were they hid there ship. The others were behind her except for Ryou. Ichigo felt her heart beat fast, Pounding. her legs hurt, she dashed into the ship, making a sharp right turn. She smashed the key pad for the large chamber. Inside lay Lettuce and Pai.
"they're ok." Ichigo thought, they looked strangely at her. Tears stained her face, she was breathing hard.
"Pai, Deep blue is back, he took Taru and Kishu." she yelled, Pai gasped, lettuce ran up to her and took her in her arms. Sitting down she let Ichigo cry on her shoulder. Lettuce looked supporting at Pai.
"that bastured." he yelled, Ichigo looked shocked at him.
"I'll get them back, don't worry." Pai said Ichigo smiled moving from lettuce to hug Pai.
"thank you Pai." She chocked.
