Recap

After a second, Ichigo sat up, speechless. He wasn't looking at her now. Finally speaking, yet her mouth full of Kish's taste, she whispered. "Kish…?"

Kish smirked again, looking back at her. "Yeah?" he asked, as if nothing had just happened. When Ichigo saw his pure, hot, golden eyes, she froze.

"…Y-you… you just…just…" All Ichigo could do was stutter.

"Relax," he grinned. "I'll lay off… for now. Can't you just enjoy the sky, honey?"

Scooting somewhat away, she sighed. Kish felt his heart sting. She moved away from him. Still, better her scooting away rather then going inside.

Kishs' eyes dazzled, locked on her. Her let down, strawberry hair was blown by the gentle, cool, winter breezes. Her eyes burned like pink stars. Her skin was so soft and baby-like. Kish wanted to grab her and wrap her up like his pet. He wanted to giver her his warmth. He wanted to give her love. But he couldn't… not right now. He had just kissed her… but she was unreadable. He'd never seen her like that. Was that good or bad? Kish sighed again, smiling at her.

"Oh, kitten" he thought. Smirking, Kish looked back at the sunset, enjoying it.

Chapter 11

Stretching, Ichigo yawned, lazily. Her eyes opened somewhat but, seeing what was right in front of her face, jolted to sit up and scoot away. Her cheeks were already burning as she pulled the cover more over her more.

"Kish! What are you doing here? How long have you been- been-"

Kish interrupted. "Watching? Awhile." Kish smirked, amused. Ichigo sunk slightly back into her bed and pulled the blanket high enough so Kish couldn't see her red cheeks.

"What do you want?" she grumbled, still waking up.

Kish chuckled, moving closer in her face. "To see you of course!"

Freaked out, Ichigo shoved Kish's face away from his. She felt so exhausted. As if she was sick. It was like the feeling when you've had a fever that doesn't go away for at least two weeks. Though you're glad you're missing school, you're just SO tired of having a hot face. That's how Ichigo felt. She'd been blushing so much. Kish was always a pervert but, at least for awhile, he had held off. Now he was back to it all. He seemed so happy. So... curious.

"Did kitten not sleep well?" he teased, seeing she was in a daze, thinking.

Breaking out of it all, Ichigo shook her head, angrily. Glaring at him, she stood up. "I slept quite well, thank-you very much!" she snapped.

Kish made a teasing sound, rubbing in what he was about to say. "My oh my, I see you did. Back to your normal, challenging self, are you?" He chuckled. "Maybe it was watching that sunset with me!"

Ichigo hissed at him, going over to the dresser to pull out some clothes. "Will you get out now!" she barked.

Beginning to float in an Indian sitting style, Kish smirked. "Why?"

Storming over to him, Ichigo started to shove him out of the room, pushing her with her hands. "Because I said so!" she growled, forcing him to move. Stopping her, Kish landed and grasped her hands, securely.

In complete seriousness, he replied. "That isn't a very good reason, my darling kitty-cat."

Ichigo screamed back, trying desperately to get free but failing. "It is so! Why do you always make the stupidest excuses for the stupidest things?"

Kish grinned. "You're the one who doesn't have a reason why you want me to leave."

Ready to explode, Ichigo cried. "MINT! Help!"

Laughing slightly, Kish answered. "What are you going to get her to do? Tell me to stop?"

"For your information – YES!" Ichigo shrugged, still attempting to pull away.

Kish rolled his eyes at her plan. "She's not that ferocious, at least not as bad as you. You're the untamed, wild cat, ya know."

However, Ichigo's hopes weren't crushed. A sigh of relief escaped her lips when she saw her closet friend, Mint, come strolling casually in.

Mint's voice was impatient. "Ichigo, what is it now? You're not pretending to be sick with pneumonia again, are you?"

Kish's yes widened. "What?" He gasped, letting her go and running his hands over her forehead, cheeks and neck to feel if she had a fever. "Your were sick? When? Are you okay?"

Ichigo blushed, backing away. Kish came closer though.

Mint smirked, teasingly. "Do I want to know what you two were doing 'together' before I came in?"

Ichigo cheeks flamed. "N-no! You've got the wrong idea! M-Mint!" Ichigo's tone changed from embarrassment to anger. "I called you so you could help me get Kish out!"

Seeing she alright, Kish smirked. "All you need to is ask, kitten. Don't lie to tour friend and say you couldn't n get me out."

"WHAT?" Ichigo squeaked. "I DID try! Honest, Mint!"

Mint rolled his eyes. "I believe you so you can relax, alright? Just ask him again so I can get back to my room and do my hair!"

Irritably, Ichigo grumbled. "Kish, can you please get out of here?"

Kish smirked. "You need only ask, honey" he replied with a bow. Turning, Kish waved. "Bye, Kitty-cat." Ichigo and Mint watched as he left.

Ichigo blushed angrily. Mint stared at her friend, with a curious, naughty smile. "You know what you're problem is? You get too excited over everything."

Ichigo cried, jumping madly up and down. "I don't need your advice!!"

Turning to go her self, Mint chuckled, meanly. "Well you need someone's advice. That's for sure." Mint closed the door behind her. Letting out a loud groan, Ichigo stomped her foot.

Pudding called her, importance in her loud voice. "Ichigo! It's Hanison again! She's attacking the city! Quick, come on!" Ichigo's eyes widened.

___________________________________________________________________________

Hanison panted heavily, glaring insanely down at the Mews and the three aliens. Kish stood in front of them all. He wasn't panting unlike his team. He was barley weakened.

Ichigo held her arm, her body aching after the long, exhausting encounter with Hanison. Her pink bangs were sweaty even though it was freezing and her eyelashes felt as heavy as 5lb weights. Breathless, Ichigo gawked at Kish from behind, her face full of astonishment. Even her friends felt the same.

How had Kish done it? It was truly one of the most amazing things she'd ever seen. Pai, Tart, herself and all the others Mews had strained their asses to, knowing they couldn't actually beat Hanison and her monsters, but to at least weaken her. On the other hand, Kish, in just a few attacks managed to obliterate four of the giant, strongest Chimera Anima's and weaken Hanison herself.

How was that possible? Kish was never this strong before? Where did all this strength come from? Had he been training? But that much was… impossible.

Hanison's voice was frail yet absorbed in her anger. "…H-how… how did you… did you… do that attack…?"

Kish grinned up at her, the cold air blowing his hair. "Easy, I'm a better warrior then you are now."

Her voice sounded like nails scratching a shark board. "No! I would bet my life this is more then that! I can TELL something is wrong with you, Kisshu! You're not you! I can bet y life on it!"

Kish yelled back at the panting Hanison, slouching in the winter air. "Then bet it! You want more; I'll give it to you!"

Astonishingly, Ichigo gasped when Hanison pulled back somewhat. Was she frightened? Kish had done some incredible stunts when attacking her. And on top of that, Kish managed to save EVERYONE in the city. Not one was hurt.

Hanison's voice was shameful and quiet. "My dignity may have been dented but my purpose… nothing will stand in the way of it. I was born to bring back Deep Blue… and so I shall. So I shall…"

Floating further back, Hanison began to fade out, insanity in her yes. In second, she was gone.

Kish's glittering, golden eyes were locked on the frosty sky. Hanison was right. He was stronger – much stronger. Why…?

Turning back to face them, his team and the Mews came running toward him, surrounding him to congratulate him.

"Great job, Kisshu!" smiled Lettuce, sweetly.

"Pudding is proud of Kish! Pudding is proud of us all! You lead us like you were leader yourself!"

Smirking, Mint said. "You were better then Ichigo."

Zakuro and Pai patted him, proudly. As for Tart, he jumped on Kish, wrapping his arms around Kish's neck, choking him. "You were awesome, Kish!" Tart laughed. "Where did you learn to do all that?"

Putting her cold hands together, lettuce complimented. "You've really gotten better!"

Pudding laughed, hugging Kish tightly. "Pudding is glad you're on OUR side!" Everyone laughed at her comment. "I think you should train Tart!"

Stretching, Mint sneered. "Won't this be something to tell Ryou."

Locking past them, Kish saw Ichigo was in the back. Shoving Tart of his back, annoyed, Kish smugly approached her. Her expression was unreadable. Her chin was high and proud, resembling what Mint usually did. She neither smiled nor frowned.

His eyebrows bouncing, teasingly, Kish asked. "Well?"

"Well what?" she replied.

Placing his hands over his chest, he said. "Aren't you going to congratulate me for leading YOUR team to a success?"

Mint scoffed. "No, she won't. She's jealous that you lead us to a win. Look at her, it's written all over. JEALOUSY. Sorry, elf ears but you won't get anything in similarity to a 'thank-you."

Surprising them all, Ichigo did speak up. "Congratulations, Kish. I'm grateful to you. Thank-you very much for leading us to a victory with your remarkable skills. You truly are a great leader, Kish."

Turning abruptly, Ichigo walked away from them all, going back to the café. Quickly, the others followed except Pai and Kish.

All Kish did was stare at his adorable kitten walking away in her adorable Mew outfit. Kish smirked, amused by why she would complement him. Maybe it was fake - maybe it was just to prove Mint's theory wrong. But it made Kish fell good inside. However, Kish was curious if it was real what she was saying.

Clearing his throat, Kish turned and noticed Pai was still here. Pai's eyes were narrowed and cautious.

"What was that all about?" he asked, forcefully.

Facing him, Kish smirked. "My attacks you mean?" He nodded, responsively. "I dunno. Guess I've just gotten better."

Pai's glare became fiercer. "You're hiding something, Kisshu. I can feel it. Why is it you are so powerful? And your wounds and that illness you had, what of those, Kisshu? What's happening to you? You must know."

Kish's face turned serious. Coming closer to Pai, he replied. "I don't know. Honestly, I don't. I just feel so… alive – strong. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's just seeing Ichigo again but-"

"Love provides hope and power to accomplish good, Kisshu but loves doesn't allow you to kill for of the strongest types of Chimera Anima's and defeat Hanison her herself. Be logical. You know your love for Ichigo couldn't be the source of this power. It is doubtless it could he helping basis to it but the entire thing… impracticable!"

Kish let out a loud sigh. Turning away from him, he replied. "Then I don't know…" At that, Kish made his way for the café as well. Pai followed shortly after.

___________________________________________________________________________

Hanison's dark eyes vastly expanded, staring down into the black, marble, pit. The multicolored swarming light flew in rapid circles down below. Time – the beauty of time washed fresh waves against the walls of the pit. That is what she held down there. This was her project she had spoken if. This is where she kept her memories that were altered into time.

As her eyes widened further, they became white. A sick smile drew up on her pale face. Now her features were all snow white except her black lips. She truly appeared to be unwell.

The guard, standing horrified next to her, spoke shyly up. "…As you can see, Emperors Hanison… the 3,000,000 years have been completed but… just because this is done does not mean…" The guard paused, his fear overtaking him. "What I mean is… all the years have passed but… we just need to wait for Deep Blue's spirit to awaken in his host…"

For once, Hanison didn't scream. Her voice was softly possessed. "… Let me inform you that Deep Blue's host doesn't have to be a he. He can choose a woman as well…"

The guard's eyes widened. "Then… if you pardon my question… is it a female or male host…? And… who is it…?"

Her grouse smile grew oddly wider until she looked even too odd to be an alien. "…I will know soon… very soon…"

___________________________________________________________________________

Ichigo was in her café room, folding her laundry she had just brought up. Surprising her, the voice of Kish broke her out of her deep thoughts.

"Did you really mean it?"

Startled, Ichigo spun around; her strawberry hair flying when she whirled around to see him leaned up coolly against the door frame. For once, he wasn't smirking. In fact he seemed quite serious.

Curious, Ichigo whispered. "Mean what…?"

Kish replied, quickly, anxious to know her answer. "That I was a good leader."

Ichigo recoiled slightly. Why was Kish so curious to know what she thought of him? Clearing her throat, Ichigo returned to folding her laundry. "Well, as we all said, you lead us to a victory. You were a great leader out on that battlefield. You've…really become an excellent warrior, Kish. I… I meant it… So… you absolutely did a better job out there then I did, anyways… I wasn't much of a help…"

Now Kish smirked. Strolling casually over, he asked. "Yeah, but I love you anyway. It was still fun to watch your try. Coming closer, Ichigo's cheeks burned when he came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her, whispering in her ear. "Maybe I'm just a better leader then you are now. After all, you did take awhile off from fighting."

Pulling away, Ichigo went to the other side of the bed. "That doesn't mean you're better though" she stated.

"Oh it doesn't, huh?" he chuckled. "You've really gotten spoiled, kitty-cat. Guess it's my fault."

Glaring at him, Ichigo asked. "Spoiled?" She let out a short laugh. "What do you mean-"

He interrupted. "I mean that I never gave you my best attacks. I was always going easy on you, kitten. You know that."

Ichigo inhaled deeply, her face filling with anger but, after seeing Kish's grin, they both broke into laughter.

After a moment, Ichigo stopped suddenly. Standing up, she said quickly. "I've gotta go. I- I have things to do." Quickly, she ran out of the room.

__________________________________________________________________________

Hanison was tossing and turning in her sleep. Her white face glistened with hot sweat. She was dreaming.

"Yes… who is it, Master…?" she asked murmuring in her sleep.

The sick voice that spoke into her head started. "My host… I am already imbedded into that person. Either female of male. It is time you know… my host I have chosen is…"

DONE!!!!!!! Sorry, I've been sick. I'll try and update sooner then later. Hope you liked. OH! And in case you're wondering about the Deep Blue's spirit either taking a female or male host, I'll talk more about that in the next chapter. Bye for now!
