Ch. 50: Final Fight Pt. 5, A Life for a Life

The bright light shined from his chest and grew, blinding Ichigo from Kisshu. The big white light shined and blasted to the clouds, like how Deep Blue sent his destructive powers on the planet. But instead of lightning falling from the dark grey clouds, white shining bubbles fell from the white clouds and they glided down to the ground. As the bubbles land on the ground, the buildings that were destroyed were returned back to normal. The streets were smooth and clean, the humans were healed, and all of the plants grew so luscious and healthy. There were actually now more flowers and trees than before. As the bubbles touched the Mew Mews, Mytho, and Kraehe, their wounds healed and they gained consciousness.

As the Mew Mews pushed themselves up, the bubbles even dissolve their transformation, except for Mytho and Kraehe. The Mew Mews were back in their normal garments and they stared at their new surroundings and their disappearing wounds. Not only were they conscious, they feel like they have just woken up from a wonderful peaceful sleep. They're full of energy and they're fully aware of what's happening.

Kraehe looked up at the sky and asks, "What is this? It feels so warm and intoxicating."

Mint answers, looking up, "It's Mew Aqua. Ichigo must have found it."

Pudding cheered, "Hooray, na no da!!! Ichigo onee-chan saved the planet, na no da!"

Mytho smiled and breathed out, "I knew she could do it."

Kraehe cheered, "Hooray!!" Out of excitement, Kraehe jumped on Mytho and hugs him. Mytho is a big red from the hug but he hugs her back.

"Eaahh," they all heard softly, twice.

They looked behind and they saw Pai and Taruto opening their eyes and breathing. Both Pudding and Lettuce couldn't believe their eyes. Lettuce got up and ran to Pai's side.

"Pai-san!" she called.

He moved his head towards her and she blinked in surprise. His hand went to her face and she blush at his touch. He rubbed her soft cheek as he said, "If this is heaven, then you must be an angel." She smiles, her eyes glossy in happiness.

Her emotions overcome her senses as she grabs his face and leans towards him. She kisses him, pulling his head up a bit. His eyes widen at the kiss as the other Mew Mews who were watching blinked; even Mytho and Kraehe. Didn't expect her to just kiss Pai like that. Moments later, Pai relaxed and kissed her back, moving his hand to behind her head and pulls her closer.

Pudding was the only one who wasn't watching. She in fact was watching Taruto. He sat up and rubbed his head, feeling a little lightheaded for coming back to life. He looked to his side and the first thing he saw is Pai and Lettuce kissing. He sweat dropped and mumbled, "Way to go, Pai. Never thought he had it in him." Two comments was all Pudding needed.

"Taru-Taru!" she called, running to him.

He looked at her just in time to see Pudding crash into him. "Yaaahhhh!" he let out, falling back to the ground. She hugged him around his chest and it got tight. He said, "Pudding-san, I just came back to life. You want to make sure I go back to the afterlife."

Pudding let go and looked at him with teary eyes. He gasped at that look as she smiled and told him, "Not without a goodbye, na no da. I missed you so much, na no da! I'm so happy, na no da." She hugged him again and this time, she was a little softer this time. Taruto turned red from it but he hugs her back.

"Thank you," he told her. All she did was smile in his chest as happy tears rolled out her eyes.

Then the bubbles stopped falling but as the last one fell to the ground, there was a bright light about ten feet away from everyone else. Pai and Lettuce broke the kiss, Taruto and Pudding broke their hug and sat up, and the others turned towards that direction to see the light forming into a form; a small form the shape of the dog. When the light disappeared, there was Inuyasha in his miniature dog form. He opened his eyes and sat up. As he was standing on all four, he stumbled but kept his stand as he shook his head back to reality.

Kraehe asked, "Inuyasha?!"

He looked up at them, surprised to hear them and he smiled after looking at everyone. "You're all okay. Good," he breathed out.

Zakuro asked, "What happened? Where's Ichigo?"

"And Kisshu!" Taruto added.

"Tssss," Mytho let out. Kraehe looked at him worried as he held his head in pain. Then after a moment, he looked up at Inuyasha, overwhelmed. "Inuyasha-san, don't tell me that…" He didn't want to finish. Inuyasha understood as he looked the other way, ashamed.

"What? What is it?" Mint asked, curious but also cautious.

Kraehe explained, "Mytho and I have addition gifts besides these new forms. I can see the present as Mytho can see the past." Kraehe looked at Inuyasha and asked, "What happened? Did something bad happen to Ichigo or Kisshu?" Inuyasha bit his lips as the others looked at him, waiting for the answer.

He finally said, "Kisshu is dead. He died unleashing the Mew Aqua that was in his body soon after Ichigo destroyed Deep Blue." Everyone but Mytho gasped from that news.

Taruto yelled, "That's impossible! Kisshu can't be dead! He can't!"

Pudding held him down when he tried to get up, knowing that he would probably pound Inuyasha to the ground. "Taru-Taru!" she called. He backed down and his eyes were gathering up tears as he bit his lip, drawing blood.

"Damn it!" he cursed, and then he cried. Pudding pulled him into a hug and he just cried on her shoulder.

Pai, not saying anything, leaned on Lettuce's shoulder being on the verge of tears. Lettuce hugged him as well, tears falling for his lost friend. Kraehe was shaking as she looked up at the remains of the alien castle that is still up there. "Poor Ichigo," was all she could say as she stared at the giant flouting rock.

On top of the remains, Ichigo still in her angel form was crying over Kisshu's body. It didn't look like Deep Blue anymore. It looked like Kisshu – his dark emerald green hair rested on his pale skin cheek, his body stiff from death, and his body still containing some color and warmth left for Ichigo to feel as she laid on top of his chest; crying uncontrollable tears.

"Kisshu…" she cried, her voice muffled from his chest and cracked from crying. She repeated, "You can't be dead. You can't be! It's not fair. You hear me? It's not fair! Kisshu!!!" More tears leaked out of her eyes like a running waterfall as she continued to sob on his chest.

Her flute lay right next to her and the corpse as the wind blew. The wind blew into the air hole and created a small, not turned music. She quiets her sobs hearing the music and she looked down at it. She sat up a bit and picked up the flute. So many thoughts and so many memories ran in her head as she stared at the beautiful creation he made for her.

'This flute,' she thought. She touched her bandage and thought, 'This bandage…one of my many treasures that I keep with me. A flute to keep me company when I was upset and the bandage to make sure that a part of him was always with me. But I didn't need them back then. Even though I thought it was a dream or that he was playing with me, he was always there for me. He calmed me down when I was upset and he was always with me; even when I thought he was not really there. He loved me and I love him. My first love…' She looked back down at his body and then his peaceful face. His face put a soft small smile on her face.

She said, "No matter what, you will come back. You're a good person and someone else is waiting for you." She leaned towards his face and closed her eyes. She gently kissed his stiff lips and a bright white light shined from the top of the remains.

Everyone down on the ground was staring at the glowing remains in surprise. Inuyasha was even surprise by the light. Pudding asked, "Wh-What's happening, na no da?"

"Ichigo!" Kraehe whispered, sharply. They looked at her and she went from looking at the ground to the remains. "She can't be!"

"What is it?!" Inuyasha asks, anxious. But they didn't answer.

Instead, both Kraehe and Mytho stood up and went about fifteen feet away from everyone; only five feet away from Inuyasha. They looked like their bodies were being controlled as their facial expressions were still the same. Kraehe was holding one of Mytho's hand and her arm was on his shoulder under his free arm. He limped from behind like he's dead or something as they could hear music starting.

Ichigo on the remains in the light, was on her toes and she was singing and dancing around Kisshu like a ritual. While she did that, Kraehe and Mytho were dancing on the ground like a live person and live size doll doing a per de deux (ballet partner dance) to show everyone what was happening on the remains; not exactly but similar.

Hall Om Mig Nu by Nanne (English and Swedish Lyrics)

Att vår värld behöver ha (That this world needs)
Mera kärlek varje dag (More love every day)
Det vet både jag och du (Both you and I know that)
Låt oss börja här och nu (So let's begin right now)

Så håll om mig (So hold me)
Släpp inte taget om mig (Don't let go of me)
Är som förhäxad av dig (It's like I'm bewitched by you)
Och jag vill ha dig (And I want you)
Kom och håll om mig nu (Come and hold me now)Ja kom närmare ett slag (I come closer for a while)
Hör du mina andetag? (Can you hear my breath)
Blodet rusar vilt och hett (My blood rushes wild and hot)
Ja på många skilda sätt (In many different ways)Så kom och håll om mig (So hold me)
Släpp inte taget om mig (Don't let go of me)
Är som förhäxad av dig (It's like I'm bewitched by you)
Och jag vill ha dig (And I want you)
Kom och håll om mig nu (Come and hold me now)Pulsen slår, jag ser din blick (The heart beats, I see your glance)
Åhh, jag är i ett hjälplöst skick (Ah, I am in a helpless stare)
Jag kan bli räddad först om du (I can be save just by your)
Ger mun-mot-mun-metoden nu (Kiss of life right here and now! Mwah!)

Kraehe bends over to Mytho's face and lifts up his head and kisses him. Ichigo up there blows a kiss to Kisshu's body and turns around to dance again when the music picked up.

Så håll om mig (So hold me)
Släpp inte taget om mig (Don't let go of me)
Är som förhäxad av dig (It's like I'm bewitched by you)
Och jag vill ha dig (And I want you)
Kom och håll om mig nu (Come and hold me now)
Ja kom och håll om mig (Yes, come and hold me)
Släpp inte taget om mig (Don't let go of me)
Är som förhäxad av dig (It's like I'm bewitched by you)
Och jag vill ha dig (And I want you)
Kom och håll om mig nu (Come and hold me now)

Ichigo stops dancing and sings towards Kisshu's direction. She points her hands to him like she's reaching and lifts them up. The body rises up by her command as Kraehe places her hand on Mytho's chest and lifts it up, at times it would look like Mytho is trying to stand up like a live person instead of a dead doll dancing with Kraehe.

Är förlorad och förförd (I am lost and bewitched)
Jag är skakad och berörd (I am shaken and moved)
Hjärtat slår så hårt (My heart beats so hard)
Låta bli dig blir för svårt (To not do it becomes so hard)
Och jag tror du ser (And I think you see that I'm)
Att jag faller mer och mer (Falling for you more and more)
Håll om mig (Hold me)

Mytho stands up like a live person but while Kraehe is dancing with him, he still stumbles a bit like he's not used to being in his body yet. Kraehe doesn't mind as she keeps dancing with him and it seems that every time he stumbles, it's okay (in ballet, it's a bad thing if you fall or stumbe). Ichigo on the other hand, raised her voice to the heavens as the light got bigger and brighter.

(Ja håll om mig) (Yes hold me)
(Släpp inte taget) om mig (Don't let go of me)
Är som förhäxad av dig (It's like I'm bewitched by you)
Och jag vill ha dig (And I want you)
Kom och håll om mig nu (Come and hold me now)
Ja kom och håll om mig (So hold me)
Släpp inte taget om mig (Don't let go of me)
Är som förhäxad av dig (It's like I'm bewitched by you)
Och jag vill ha dig (And I want you)
Kom och håll om mig nu (Come and hold me now)

(Ooohh, ooohh)
Wouh, kom och håll om mig (Oh, come and hold me)
(Ooohh, ooohh)
Släpp inte taget om mig (Don't let go of me)
Och jag vill ha dig (And I want you now)
Kom och håll om mig nu (Come and hold me now)

At the last phrase, Ichigo jumps up in the air and reaches for Kisshu. On the ground, Kraehe kisses Mytho's head and then fell backwards. Mytho, full alive, catches Kraehe before she falls but she already has her eyes close and she's not moving. He lifts up an arm but it limps to the side. The Mew Mews then got an idea on what's happening up there and they were deeply afraid. At the last line, Ichigo reaches for Kisshu's body and stares at his face a little longer. He moves some strands of hair and then kisses his lips at the end of the last line. The light got brighter and her wings grew bigger too. They were glowing white as she broke away from Kisshu's lips and holds him; like the song.

She thinks, 'My love, please wake up. Wake up and save your friends and family. I'll give you everything to help; my soul, my mind, my powers, all of it! Just wake up, please!'

On the ground, the girls and the Mew Mews suddenly got extremely nervous. Kraehe and Mytho stood up straight and looked up at the remains above. The remains broke apart and all they could see is big white glowing wings. Then from Kisshu's body, on his back, pure black wings grew from his back and everyone below just saw black wings. His eyes started to open. He blinked a bit, coming back to life with the feeling of warm eyes wrapped around him. Then Ichigo's arms around him limped and she closed her eyes. She starts sliding off his body and he felt that. His eyes widen as she was starting to fall but he quickly caught her.

He turned her over so that he could hold her bridal style. Her wings disappeared and she was just in her outfit without her wings. Kisshu gently calls, "Ichigo, koneko-chan." She didn't wake up to his call. His eyes started to water up but he holds them in, despite his sadness. He holds her close towards him and tells her, "Let's go now, koneko-chan. You and me." He teleports from the sky to the ground.

When everyone saw him on the ground, the first things they notice were his black feathered wings and Ichigo in his arms. Kraehe, Mytho, and Inuyasha became the first to start running towards them. The others fallowed behind, some worried about what they think is not true and few to greet Kisshu.

"Ichigo-sama!" Kraehe calls, stopping by her side. Kisshu didn't acknowledge their presence. It was like Ichigo in his arms is the only thing here for him to see.

Lettuce asks Kisshu, "Please, it's not true right? Ichigo is alright, right?" He didn't answer her. His silence causes tears to start up in her eyes again.

Mint calls, "Ichigo! Wake up! Come on, wake up!" But she still didn't obey. She just laid there in silent arms of Kisshu.

Zakuro asks, "She won't wake up, will she?" Finally Kisshu answer with shaking his head as a no. Inuyasha gasp and then looked at the ground, ready to cry.

Kraehe yelled, "That can't be true! She'll wake up! She has too! Ichigo-sama! Get up, now! Please!!"

"Kraehe!" Mytho yells, placing his hand on her shoulder. She looks at him and he shakes his head to tell her to stop her. It works but it doesn't stop her tears. She breaks down to the ground crying. Mytho kneels down to the ground and pulls her to him.

Pudding is right behind Taruto and she starts crying on his shoulder. He places his hand on top of hers that clenches his shirt on his shoulder. Lettuce was already leaning on Pai's chest so he wraps one arm around her for comfort. Mint cries in her hands as Zakuro places her hand on top of her shoulder as a sign for comfort.

'Kiss her!' Kisshu widen his eyes from that as he looks down at the ground at Inuyasha. He told him through mind, 'You heard me. At least give her something for the afterlife.' He even looked away to give him some privacy.

'Inu…yasha…' Kisshu thought, astonished. He looked back down at Ichigo's body in his arms and he stares at her face. The least he can do for her is give her a kiss goodbye. So he did. He leans towards her face and closes his eyes as he presses his lips against hers. Then something weird happened.

Because he had his eyes closed, Kisshu didn't notice something grey glowing on her back. The others did and they look up to see her wings appearing on her back. Their eyes widen as the growing stopped and the glow was gone. Ichigo's hand twitched and everyone widen their eyes in astonishment. Her hand went to the back of Kisshu's head and she pushed him harder to her, kissing him back. He opened his eyes surprise and broke away to stare at her face.

She opens her eyes, a little dazed since she just woke up and that she was in the kiss. She looks up at Kisshu's shocked face and then asks, "What? Kiss over?" The Mew Mews, her friends, and her dog brighten their eyes and smile.

Kisshu chuckles a bit and then leaps on her. "Ichigo! I love you!"

"AAAHHH!" she let out, crashing onto the ground with him on top of her. His arms around her neck and keeping her close to him. "Kisshu! Off! Off! My wings!" she yelled, lighting hitting him.

He gets up and says, "Sorry! You okay?"

She sits up and then points at him. She smiles and tells him, "Gotcha." She jumps on him and kisses him. He immediately kisses her back. It was a small one as Ichigo breaks the kiss and asks, "You didn't really think that I was going to let you take over now did you?"

"Feisty as always. A big reason why I love you."

"I love you too, baby"

They both start making out after that, rubbing their lips together with their tongues entering each other's mouths; not caring that they're doing that in public. Pai and Taruto got disgust and they couldn't believe what they're seeing. Sure he's the romantic type, but that's a bit fast since they both just came back to life. Apparently both Kraehe and Inuyasha had the same idea.

They were both pretty annoyed as Inuyasha transformed into his Taka form. Kraehe walked over and pulls Ichigo's shoulder. They both ended up standing up and they broke their kiss. They looked up and they saw two angry people looking down at them. They both sweat dropped at the dark aura they both are giving off.

"Idiots!" they both yelled, punching them; Kraehe punch Ichigo and Inuyasha punches Kisshu.

Ichigo and Kisshu went flying about three feet away from where they were before. At least they weren't on top of the other this time. Kraehe and Inuyasha rushed up to Ichigo and help her stand up. Ichigo gives them a blank stare before they both hug her.

"The hell you mean 'kiss over,' you jerk! You made us all so worried about you!" Kraehe yells, tears whelming up in her eyes.

Ichigo choked out, "Ah, sorry?"

"Darn right, you're sorry!" Mint yells. Ichigo looks at her and Mint was only a foot away from her, her eyes puffy and her cheeks red. Her fists were clenched together hard as Lettuce, Pudding, Zakuro, and Mint are next to her.

Ichigo rolls her eyes and tells them, "If you want a hug then why are you just standing there?" Next thing she knew, almost all of them were attacking her; Lettuce, Pudding, and Mint. Mytho and Zakuro just stood there, smiling that she is alive.

"You bad girl!" Lettuce whines.

Mint tells her, "The next day, no exception! You're working from dawn to midnight!"

Ichigo breathes out, "Don't matter. More tips for me."

Kisshu sits up and rubs his head in annoyance. "That stupid mutt didn't have to hit so hard, damn!"

"Well at least it knocked some sense into you." Kisshu looks up and see both Pai and Taruto.

He asks, "You're both…alive?"

"Well if we weren't, we would be ghosts and we would be transparent right now," Taruto sarcastically answered. For once, it didn't bother Kisshu.

Kisshu stands up and suddenly hugs them both. "Hooray! I didn't kill you two!"

Pai asks, "You didn't notice us when you came back to earth?"

Taruto said, "He probably was too blinded when he thought the old hag died."

"Okay, happy hour over," Kisshu says, a vein pulsing on top of his head. He lets go and tries to strangle Taruto. "For your information, she's younger than me, brat!"

Pai asks, "Then does that make you an old nag?" Kisshu got three more veins pulsing on his head now. "But you know," Pai added before Kisshu would explode. Pai places his hand on top of Kisshu's and he let go of Taruto after that. "It's good to see you alive and kicking." Pai even smiled at Kisshu. If Kisshu wasn't appreciative about the saying and the smile, he would probably make a comment.

He told him, "Good to be back." Pai pulled his hand back as Taruto hugs Kisshu like how a little brother hugs his big brother; his arms around his waist. Taruto didn't say anything as Kisshu looks down at him speechless.

Pai pointed out, "He was crying when he heard that you died."

Taruto pushes away and yells, "Shut up, Pai!" He's all red with embarrassment and Kisshu could actually see Taruto's puffy eyes.

Kisshu smiles a bit and then ruffles Taruto's hair a bit. "Good to be back, kid."

"Ah, Inuyasha? You can let go now." Kisshu's radar pretty much pointed up from hearing Ichigo say that. He looked up and got angry real fast. Everyone was off of Ichigo, all but Inuyasha. He was still hugging her.

Inuyasha tells her, "As more courteous as I am then more kirema animas, I can't let go of you yet. I thought you were dead. I was so depressed." Now Kisshu was flaming jealous and both Pai and Taruto stepped back to watch the show. He really is entertaining.

Ichigo disappears from Inuyasha's hold and appears in front of Kisshu. Ichigo and Inuyasha were not ready for that as Kisshu wraps his arms around Ichigo and tells him, "Well I didn't get enough time with her either, mutt. Give me a chance will you."

Inuyasha got a vein pulsing on his head as he tells him, "All I'm asking is a hug. Not a kiss, idiot. You got a chance to make out with her."

"She's my girl, that's why," Kisshu reminds him as a matter of fact. "And as my girl, she's off limits from mutts like you."

Ichigo asks, dryly, "Since when am I property?"

"It was your example, koneko-chan," Kisshu reminds kissing her cheek.

Inuyasha got angry as he asks, darkly, "How about we battle and see who gets the right to hold or kiss her."

He transforms into the Blue Knight as Kisshu lets go of Ichigo and summons his Dragon Swords. "You're one, mutt!" Kisshu answers, getting three veins pulsing on his head. Then both of them started fight off to the side.

Kraehe and Mytho walk to Ichigo as she asks, "Since when am I a prize?"

Kraehe asks, "How about instead of getting upset about them, how about we figure out how to return back to normal? Mytho and I can't just appear in our house and tell everyone that we became angels that serve under you." She has a point.

Mytho added, "Kisshu-sama also has black wings too. That is a little weird since he already knows how to fly."

Ichigo agrees, doomed, "You have a point."

Pai offers, "If nothing works and you can give us a couple of days, we can make something that can help you hide these forms."

Ichigo asks, "Since when did you became so generous?"

Taruto asks, "You want the offer or not?"

"Sure," she answers. "If nothing else works."

"Then can you also stop that idiot from tearing up the city with your dog?" Pai asks, pointing to the two idiots fighting. They look and they saw both of them making craters in the ground with pushing each other around with blasts and their weapons.

Ichigo got five veins pulsing on her head and body. "You two, stop that!!" she yells, walking towards them. "We just healed up the earth! You want to ruin it again?!!"
