Recap

Kish,

We've gone to take Ichigo to London as she asked.

~Pai and Tart

Kish's mind and body was frozen for about a minute before he could fully take it in. At once, all energy and spirit seemed drained from him. Now Kish could feel the hurt and irritation rising.

"Damn…" he spat.

Why would Ichigo do this? Why would she refuse his advice. She was making herself worse by going. And why did Pai and Tart take her? Idiots.

Just when he thought everything was going to be right between them. He was going to apologize-make up. But she was gone-had left. He knew and understood she wanted to be with her parents… but why leave over such a small disagreement between them? Could this have something to do with the wound Masaya gave her? The wound that wasn't healing? It wasn't like Ichigo to be so unforgiving. Masaya was right about that. So why was she turning against him?

He had to go to her. Explain about her friends, The Obsidian Knight, his apology and everything else. But he was so tired. He felt as if he was going to faint.

Kish knew inside he couldn't heal himself for he was too worried about Ichigo. It still wasn't safe for her… with him out there. He HAD to go to Ichigo. Himself didn't matter right now. Only Ichigo…

Chapter 20

Together, Ichigo and the two aliens appeared behind a tree in her grandparent's yard. Ichigo was relived when she it was bright and sunny. Finally, some excellent weather she could enjoy. Everything seemed to glisten-the trees vividly green and the sky brilliantly blue.

Though she couldn't enjoy it fully yet. She still loved Kish… she was worried about him… and her friends. But she couldn't admit it. If she did it would only hurt all the more knowing Kish no longer loved her in return…

Turning to Pai and Tart, she demanded in a hastened tone. "No listen you two- seeing as I'm here now I need you two to go back to Tokyo right away and help Kish save my friends. I can't go because…. Well… let's just say…" Ichigo's eyelashes drooped like wet feathers because she was so depressed. "…It's complicated…He"

Pai and Tart exchanged glances. "We'll tell them once we rescue them that you're safe in England, 'kay?" Tart gave a little smile.

Ichigo nodded and picked up her suitcase as she looked at the house. "…Alright then… bye…"

Stepping out of the tree's shadow, Ichigo nervously approached the door. Before knocking she glanced at her watch. It read 11:35. No longer hesitating, Ichigo knocked her trembling her hand onto the wooden door.

Momentarily, the door was opened and a racket of surprise mixed with joy exploded in front of her as the arms of her parents and grandmother scooped her up into an embrace.

Pai and Tart listened to the following comments.

"Ichigo, my baby" her mother smiled. "Why are you here so early? I thought you were going to be here at 3:00. You father was going to pick you up, remember? Did you come here all on your own, honey? Oh baby!" she laughed hugging the silent Ichigo tighter.

Ichigo was speechless and weak. Her eyes stung as if they were about to break with tears. It was true- she was so happy to see them- yet she was so worried about Kish and her friends. First Masaya changed into someone she hated and was gone, and now Kish hated her. Inside, Ichigo could feel her heart pounding. She was so lightheaded.

"My dear-" gasped her mother pulling out of the hug. "You look so pale. When did you last eat? Are you sick? Oh honey, please say you aren't. I still can't be; live you're here so early. You've gone and ruined the surprise birthday party" she frowned disapoinbted.

"Sakura" scolded Ichigo's grandmother. "Now you've really ruined it. No sense. No sense at all. People now days. So different from the way I grew up" she mumbled. "W-well in my day- surprise birthday was a surprise. What next in these modern, unprofessional days? Next they'll be selling Christmas trees on Valentines Day! No sense in it all. And people's clothes now days- and their hair. Ridiculous! I say ridiculous!"

Ichigo couldn't help but cough a whimper-smile as if she were trying to scare off the could-be-coming tears.

Changing the subject, her grandmother pulled her into a hug. "Aww, honey. Come in. Sit down. I'll get you a blanket, a nice cup of coffee and a bowl of strawberries" she said leading her inside the house.

Before they had gone in, Pai and Tart caught Ichigo's sentence in the upset tone she said it in. "No thanks, mom. I really am not in the mood for strawberries right now. In fact I'm not hungry at all… But as for that blanket… Sure. That's exactly what I want- to cuddle up and be safe…"

"Safe?" her mother smiled. "Nothing's safe with your father around. He won't let you rest until he hears every detail around your time alone. He uh-didn't trust you alone. Or at least the boy."

Immediately, Ichigo froze dead in her tracks. Her yes widened, she stared at her mother. "B-boy? What boy? What are you talking about?!" she panicked her eyes watering.

"Well I just assumed you'd invited someone. After all, a lot can happen in six days." her mother stated.

Ichigo's head dropped. She couldn't handle this. She was going to loose it without Kish. "…Yeah… you're right. A lot could happen… I just… I wish… I just wish things couldn't happen in six days…"

All together, they went inside the house, the front door closing.

Pai and Tart glanced at each other, solemnly.

"Man, she sure is upset. Maybe we shouldn't of taken her to London…" sighed Tart.

"You're damn right about that!" snapped Kish. Alarmed, the two aliens spun around to see Kish in his terrible, bloody condition.

"Kisshu…" Pai said plainly, his eyes gently looking at the hot head.

Storming clumsily over and holding his side, Kish's anger ramped further upwards. "What the HELL is wrong with you TWO?! Ichigo and I had a deal to stay together! Why did you take her away! Why did you let her convince you?! What about our talk we had?! You explained why she was so worried about her parents! After seeing how screwed up MY family is-was- she wanted her own! And she didn't like it how I hated all adults because everyone I knew was a DAMN wreck!! I understand how she feels now! I JUST explained it, didn't I?! I was going to apologize-explain about everything-told her I GOT IT! Why did you take her away from me?! WHY?!" he screamed.

"I do not claim to have the knowledge about relations, Kisshu… but I am certain of this… detachment is often necessary…"

Kish's eyes shot wide at once, and his anger boiled richly. Enraged, and not realty aware of what he was doing, Kish though a rough punch at Pai.

"KISH!!" yelled, Tart, astonished.

Though he had been hit exactly in the stomach, Pai's towering, stiff body didn't seem to fall back to recover. His posture remained as it was- exquisite- and his eyes and his lips were tight.

Now conscious of what he'd done, Kish gasped. "Pai-I'm so sorry-I didn't mean it-I didn't! I just-I mean…" Kish trailed off, his senses weakening. He was exhausted and in a bad, wounded state. Wounded inside and outside.

At last, Pai spoke. "It's alright, Kisshu…"

Weakly, Kish leaned against the tree and stared at the house. He knew they missed Grandfather Mashu… but when they all got together… they could pull through. Isn't that what families were supposed to do? He didn't know... he would never know. Inside, Kish heard all the joyous voices. Her parents… her aunt and uncle, probably a few cousins but what he didn't hear was Ichigo herself...

Kish sighed and threw his head back. "You're right about detachment…. Getting away to take a breather is healthy. I guess. But…" Looking back at Pai, his eyes blazed with passion. "I can't stand it. I don't like detaching from Ichigo. I need her. I don't want to be away from her."

Not making eye contact with, Tart joined in with a slow voice. "The old hag… Ichigo, I mean… she said… something about… well… you hating her…"

At once, Kish's interest perked with widened eyes. "…H-hates her?" he spluttered in disbelief. "WH-why would I? I have no reason to! I adore her! I love her! That's not like Ichigo at all to give up! I knew she was upset at me but-that much?! Why would she think I hate her?! That's not her at all! W-where the HELL would she get an idea like-" Kish stopped short.

"What is it?" asked Tart, interested. "You think you know why?"

Kish remembered earlier that morning in the park.

The Obsidian Knight chuckled. "Really? Is that why you've been having problems…?"

Kish jolted and but tried to keep his cool. His voice full invasion, he asked, "…How did you know…?

"It was a mere guess" he explained. "When I attacked her-sliced her, I figured it would soon affect her. Apparently it has… according to you."

Kish gave him a completely lost look mixed into his furry. "Wh-what the! Your blade-WHAT DID YOU DO HER!!!" he screamed pointing his blades at him.

"It's just a trick I've learned with my new form" he chuckled.

"YOU! YOU HURT HER!!!!"

With a yell, Kish ran towards him, ready to fight. Ready to kill him.

As well, The Obsidian Knight screamed and charged toward Kish, waving his blade, violently. In unison, they both jumped up into the air.

"It's just a trick I learned with my new form…" Kish repeated what The Obsidian Knight had said. Seeing Pai and Tart's face, he answered. "It's something the Obsidian Knight said about when he attacked Ichigo. That it was anew ability…"

"What? A slice with his blade?" questioned, Tart curiously.

Kish flinched at the thought of Ichigo hurt but never-the-less answered, "No. He has a new blade with new attacks. Stronger ones…" grunted Kish as he held his dried, blood covered side.

"Perhaps he attacked Ichigo with new spell of some type. It could be that it is within the blade he bears…" Pai stated.

Tart and Kish exchanged glances and slowly turned their head toward Pai.

"How do you DO that?!" snapped Tart. "How can you think of that so quickly?!" he shouted jumping up and down.

"What kind of a spell could cause Ichigo to think I hate her? …To make her be unforgiving toward me…? Is that possible? And don't you think that's a little far-reaching?" he asked, impulsively.

"Anything is possible…" Pai confirmed. "I think that could be logical for why she is so over-upset. In fact, I think there was a legend in our tribe of a blade with strange powers."

Kish jolted. "WHAT?! There is?! How come I never heard it?!" he shouted.

"Because you never listened in school!" snapped Tart. "You were always either asleep or secretly working on your scrap book, filling it with photographs and news clipping of Mew Ichigo that you'd steal from news papers!"

Despite the moment, Kish grinned. "The cameras love her. I'm just too lucky I've got all her pictures."

"So what now?" asked Tart.

"Now I wait for the moment when Ichigo is alone and I can talk to her" answered Kish glaring at the house. "Ichigo is upset. She thinks I hate her and she's all alone. I have to make it right with her!"

Pai reached for Kish's shoulder. "Kisshu, keep in mind that it is a spell. How will you break it? We don't even know the spell's full intention or whether it is entirely upon her. There could be more to it…"

Kish groaned, irritated. "Well then how do we find out its 'full intention?" he asked in a mocking, angry tone.

"The Obsidian Knight" replied Pai with dismay. "He is the one who sliced Ichigo. He was the only one we could have looked to for answers…"

"Wake the hell up from your damn daydream" snapped Kish, coarsely. "The Obsidian Knight isn't dead." Kish looked ashamed at once. "…I didn't' defeat him. He left, said this was a waste of his time. He said his purpose wasn't to kill me but rather Ichigo… But it doesn't matter!" Kish spat. "He wouldn't give us answers! He's our enemy!"

"Are you sure he's just your opponent because he injured Ichigo…?" Pai asked this as he folded his strong arms over his chest.

Kish gave him a childish look. "What do you mean?"

"I mean you're pride" explained Pai making direct eye contact with his friend. "You've always hated Masaya. Is this also because you don't want to ask him for help?"

"Would it matter or not?!" snapped Kish jolting all in his face, angered. "He's gone mad! None of his answers make sense at ALL! He's says he didn't need love! He didn't love Ichigo he just needed her to worship him like the whole rest of the damn planet does! But he wants to kill her! Why?! I think he did love her-I know he did! I remember the final battle! But as he started to become proud so did the Blue Knight! And that resulted in him turning evil and basically loosing his mind! The guy is insane! It doesn't matter about my pride! He wants to kill ICHIGO! It's his reason for living! I can't allow that! I won't allow that! I will protect Ichigo!!" he screamed.

"But how can you protect her when she doesn't want to get near you" Tart asked. "She thinks you despise her. She's broken hearted…"

Instantly, the pieces all fit together in the three alien's minds.

"A heart breaking spell!" the three said in unison.

"Yes…" sighed Pai. "In the myth…I remember now. Legends tell of a mystic blade that carries all the pain of broken hearts with in. Love is the most powerful force. There for broken heartedness is extremely damaging-killing-slowly and miserably. Literally dying of a broken heart…"

Kish's eyes widened. "That's got to be it! She's been so emotional and down lately! Overacting about everything! And her wound! My powers couldn't heal it! It's because it was tremendously strong why I couldn't cure it!!"

"Wow! Then what do we do?!" gasped Tart, alarmed. "H-hey! Wait! Did he attack the other Mews with it also?! P-Pudding!! Did he hurt her?!" he shouting jumping all over Kish, worried.

Kish took another step to get slightly closer to look at the room where he presumed Ichigo would be staying in. "No" he answered, quickly. "They're fine. He actually didn't even have them hostage."

"WHAT?!?!?!" screamed Tart, crazily. "WELL THEN WHY DID HE SAY HE HAD THEM TO PAI AND I?!?! HE LIED?!"

"He was bluffing" corrected Kish. "Masaya may be a bitch but he's smart" growled Kish as he continued to look at the window.

"At least The Obsidian Knight is smart" groaned Tart. "How are we going to help the old hag though?" he asked.

"We return to our vessel and investigate the legend" replied Pai. "Then we'll return here and explain to her."

Kish glanced at Pai over his shoulder. "No way. That's the mistake I made last time. I left her with you two. I'm not leaving her again!" he snapped.

"But Kish-you know Ichigo better then any of us! We need you! You need to learn about the legend as well if you want to save Ichigo's life!" shouted Tart.

Kish growled lowly, his golden gaze fixed on the window. He knew she wasn't in there now but the thought of her in there soon made him anxious.

Pai touched Kish's shoulder. "…Trust us… you have to come… We WILL come back. I swear it, Kisshu…"

Slowly, Kish turned back and looked at Pai. He nodded. "Aright… let's go…"

Okay! What did you think? Listen, I'm not positive but I think it's either the next chapter or the one after that that'll conclude this story. I'm finally almost done with my first fic! I think it did fairly well. In reviews I'm in the 90's. Not that that is what it's all about. Lol. Most of you liked it, right? Hopefully. Well, I'll try and have the next chapter up by Thursday, maybe afternoon of Friday.

Alright then! Review please! Bye!
