MMC: This chapter is horribly choppy and disgustingly written, but it has a point. I actually have no idea how to end this story yet, and I never did. But it will end soon.

Tommy: ….I….Hate…Exams…

MMC: Yeh, sorry, we're really tired, we've just come out of a Chemistry Practical exam followed by a Maths exam five minutes after.

Tommy: I hate school.

MMC: We have Physics, French and English tomorrow. Yuck.

Tommy: Mew Mew Cherry…ugh…you know the deal…

MMC: STA-oh forget it…

Suika looked down at her dress. It was stained with her tears and sticking to her skin.

Why was I so stupid…she thought to herself, trying to keep back new tears from forming.

'Kabocha-kun, I thought you said that…'

'Hey, come on sweetie, you didn't really think someone like me could really like someone…well…' the orange haired boy trailed of with a chuckle.

'Li-Like me…' Suika finished.

'You're a pretty girl, Suika-san, but not so smart.'

'But you…you k-ki…'

'Heh, yeh I know, as I said- you are pretty,' and with a grin, Kabocha leaned in to kiss her.

She let him. But it wasn't like before. It was rough and harsh. She hated it, she hated him…

She let out a muffled yelp and pushed him off.

'You didn't like that Suika-san?' Kabocha sneered, a look of content enjoyment crossing his sharp features.

'No, no I didn't, let go of me!' she yelled, tearing his arm from her waist.



'Oh come on, you know I can't let anyone know about this, and I would look like such a loser if I didn't have Mizo-chan.'

'How could there be someone else! You told me that you-,'

'Now listen,' growled Kabocha, frowning and taking her wrist tightly, 'You don't tell anyone about this okay? If people found out about you and me, my reputation would be shot.'

'But why?' asked Suika, struggling to break free of his grasp.

'You're just the runt,' Kabocha sneered, rolling his eyes, 'Nobody could ever like you for your self, you should be content about what people do like you for,' he hissed licking his lips.

'Y-You…'

'Come on,' he said with a smirk, 'we can make this work right, just a secret…?'

'But you, you already have someone, you have Mizo-chan and-,'

'But she's not nearly as cute as you are, is she? She's only there so I look normal…'

'And being with me makes you…abnormal?' stammered Suika trying to hold back the tears forming in her eyes.

'Of course, you're a freak!' he sniggered, 'Come on, don't make this hard, and let's have some fun…eh?' he spoke huskily, lowering his head and kissing down her neck.

'No, no!' Suika sobbed pushing him back so that he fell to the floor. Kabocha looked up surprised, the scowled.

'Fine!' he yelled, 'You don't know what you're missing! Everybody hates you, you freak! I was willing to give you a chance runt!' And with that, he got up, giving her a bitter scowl before teleportating away. Suika sunk to her knees, burying her head in her hands.

Freak.

Runt.

Replays of that conversation ran through her head, taunting her and mocking her.

'How…how could he,' Suika whispered to herself.

She had told her to keep there relationship a secret because he and his best friends had made a pact not to make a move on her seeing as they both felt the same way.

And she had believed him.



She'd rushed over to his friends that morning asking where he was. They had laughed at her and called her names, but nevertheless pointed out that he was up here.

'How could I have been so stupid…I wasted my whole day searching for him…and then he…' she whispered into her clothes. Lifting her head, she saw that she was right. She had spent the whole day. It was almost night time. Kish and Kashi would be looking for her. Taking the crumpled note from her pocket, she re-read it.

-I'm sure you already know who's writing this.-

Yeh, thought Suika to herself, well that's obvious.

-I wasn't joking about the girl, and I have some demands before I return her.-

Demands?

-It's in your best interest to comply. I will meet you at Centre Park at nine this evening, where we shall discuss our terms.-

What could he possible want? Was he interested in Ichigo? Hadn't he been her boyfriend or something? Maybe it was Kish. He could have wanted Kish for something. He had been the one attacking him after all.

But why had he been attacking him? What had Kish ever done to him?

'So, where are your brothers?'

Suika's head shot up. Right on cue.

'Y-You,' she gasped, then scowled, 'Let go of her,' she growled, referring to the unconscious Suika who the Knight had slung over one shoulder.

'Tell me where you brothers are,' demanded the Blue Knight in the same monotone voice, ignoring Suika's question. His expression made her shiver. So…emotionless.

'I…I don't know…' stammered Suika, loosing some of her previous confidence.

'Heh…just what I was hoping for,' grinned the blue Knight. And with those words, he dropped the unconscious Satou to the floor.

She was unconscious right?

'Satou!' yelped Suika, running over to where she laid sprawled on the floor, 'What did you do to her!'

'Don't worry, I kept my promise, she's alive…just out.'

'What do you want!' yelled Suika, venomous anger building up inside her.

'Actually,' smiled the Blue Knight, 'What I need is you…'



Kish, Kashi and Ichigo had been searching for ages and they still couldn't find her.

'Where could she be? There's not that many places she could hide,' grumbled Kashi.

'And it's getting dark, we need to get to her before we meet the Blue Knight,' added Kish.

The had looked through almost the whole park. It had taken ages. Each floating building, which Ichigo found out where called Triads for there triangular shape, contained various shops and bars within. There where roughly twenty or so of them scattered about the park and then they had to search the grounds as well; but they still couldn't find her.

There where hardly any people left as well. Some couples having a little fun and a bunch of boys messing about in the children's playground.

'Should we check with them?' asked Ichigo, pointing to the boys over at the Children's Playground.

'Yeh, I guess…' muttered Kish, walking of towards them, 'Come on.'

The others followed behind him.

The boys at the playground where fooling around on the swings, singing out of tune.

'Hey! You lot!' yelled Kashi over the noise.

'Hey look its Kashi!' called one of the boys, 'And Kish! Over here!'

'Uh, hey you guys…' mumbled Kashi, 'You haven't seen our sister have you?'

'Suika-kohai?' another boy scoffed. The boys started to snigger.

'Where is she?' asked Kish irritated. He didn't have time to be in his usual carefree demeanour right now, he needed to find Suika before 9.

'She's gone up to the Mx Cube, to find Kabocha-kun,' answered another boy, 'I wonder what's happening up there,' he pondered with a knowing grin.

'Che…come on, let's go…' Kish huffed, 'That girl…'

Kish carried Ichigo up, and Kashi followed behind. Mx Cube was larger than the rest, and as implied by the name, it was cube shaped. The flat roof was lined with deckchairs and had a large chimney sprouting up from the centre. Apart form this; it looked like most other buildings. Almost…

'What is that?' Kashi asked in disbelief.

From behind the chimney, shone a bright blue aura. And Kish, with a fierce slap of realisation, was the first one to realise what it was.

'It's him…' he hissed, speeding up.

Ichigo held back in a scream at the sudden burst of unexpected energy. She settled instead, for simply clutching tighter to Kish's shirt.



His heart…she thought, distracted momentarily; it's beating so fast.

It was almost…comforting. To know someone was as anxious as she was. She had tried to act calm, but only to placate the others. On the inside, she could feel her heart rise into her throat and her stomach twisting and turning, making her want to empty it's contents. That was how nervous she was, or maybe it was just because

'Kish, do you think it's him?' she asked, hoping not to loose her balance, although she knew Kish wouldn't let her fall. Kish didn't answer, in fact, at that point his speed increased encouraged by the high pitch screamed realised from the fast approaching roof. Eventually they landed. Kish let Ichigo down gently on to the floor, but immediately drew his dragon swords preparing to find out exactly what was happening.

'Kish, wait,' started Kashi, but it was too late Kish took of round the corner. Kashi shook his head quickly before ushering Ichigo with a short 'Come one,' and rounding the corner himself. Ichigo followed after but stopped short, copying the others at the sight she was greeted with.

'Oh good, you showed up.'

'Blue Knight,' growled Kish, dropping his shocked expression for one of sour anger, 'Get the hell away from her!'

'I can't, I need her…'

'What for? What the hell do you need her for you bastard!'

The Knight smiled and taking his sword he held it up close to Suika's neck. Suika squirmed.

'Please, let me go,' she sobbed.

'What did you do to her?' asked Kish frustrated at seeing his sister so broken.

'Actually, nothing.'

'Don't lie!'

'I'm not,' laughed the Knight, 'I found her like this, completely wrecked, don't ask me how it happened.'

'Satou!' gasped Ichigo cutting in, and spotting the still unconscious alien girl who laid sprawled on the floor. Kish and Kashi's head shot round to see the same thing.

'Sa-Satou-chan,' muttered Kish, walking slowly towards the silver haired girl, his pace began to quicken but he was the distracted by a burst of manic laughter released from the Blue Knight.

'Isn't that cute, you're worried about that little girl?' he cackled, 'You have other things to be worried about you know!' he yelled, contracting his arms around Suika's neck like a snake.

Kish's head shot around again. 'L-Let her go…' he growled.



'No, I don't think I will,' replied the Blue Knight with a hint of self satisfaction, 'you see, I'm going to see it tonight…'

'See what?' asked Kashi warily.

The Blue Knight grinned, and stuck out a clawed hand. It blazed with the knight's signature blue energy and bolted towards the three of them, giving them only just enough time to evade.

That was it. Time to take some action.

'Mew Mew Strawberry, Meta-Morpho-sis!' called Ichigo, as she was absorbed by a pink light and transformed into her Mew counterpart.

'Sai-yu-sho,' Kish yelled as he summoned his own dragon swords to his hands.

'Futokorogatana!' added Kashi, also summoning his own weapon, two large twisted daggers.

'How interesting, you think you can take me?'

'Shut up, we'll beat the shit out of you!'

This confident reply came from Kish, who was now fuming.

The Blue Knight just sneered at them and raised his hands once more.

'And how do you expect to hit me? You can't risk your little sister here can you?'

'Shut up!'

His voice sounded confident, but it was obvious he was nervous. How where they going to hit him? When he was holding Suika, it would be too chancy to take a shot.

Again, the Blue Knight revered his power, aiming this time, only for Kish. Kish dodged straight away, but although the timing could have been impeccable; he couldn't shoot back.

'Come on…she's not really that important is she? This runt?'

Suika, who was barely conscious, winced at his words. Or maybe it was just the pain of being slowly suffocated.

'Bastard! Let her go! What the hell do you want?' barked Kashi.

Ichigo was the only one keeping quiet. She didn't know what to say, but Kish was saying enough for all three of them.

'Why are you here? Tell me now!' Kish demanded.

'Kish, have you not figured this out yet?' asked the Blue Knight, 'Come on, I thought you were smart. Was I wrong?' sniggered the Knight.

'W-What…?' asked Kish faintly, his confidence dropping dramatically.

'All right…would you like me to spell it out for you?'



Kish didn't answer, but his scowl said it all. It was odd, and mixed with a tinge of curiosity.

'Kish there is something I want to see tonight, something you promised me a long time ago, you would never do again…'

Kish narrowed his eyes, furrowing his brow in confusion. And then it clicked.

'K-Kish what is he talking about?' asked Ichigo anxiously.

'I…I have no idea,' answered Kish loosing his shocked expression to a glower of un-convincing ingenuousness.

'Anyway, from what I know, it takes something pretty dramatic to get you like that, even so; I'll give you a choice…'

'And what would that be?' asked Kish cagily.

'Which one…' started the Blue Knight, summoning his sword and pointing it down to the cataleptic Satou, and at the same time; taking his sharp nails and scratching a faint blood line on Suika's neck.

Kish froze.

'Who is it?' the Knight continued 'Who has to die tonight, so I can see it?'
