Darkgoddess17- Thanks Everyone for saving me and Kish!
Kish- (Nodding) Very much thanks
Ichigo- Hmmmphh....
Darkgoddess17- Thanks Heavenly Faye Faye for your basket of treats!! :D And thanks KrysofDeath for your truck of cookies!! And thanks the others who reviewed!
Kish- They give you cookies and other treats!?! How come I don't get any...(Pouts)
Darkgoddess17- Oh..uh...I kinda got hungry.....but I still have a few left...
Kish- (Wide eyes) Me want cookies. Me eat cookies.
Darkgoddess17- (Looks at Kish in horror, hands protecting her cookies) Nonono. It's my cookies!!!
(Kish and Authoress have tug of war)
Darkgoddess17- Ha. I win. (Take the cookies.)
Ichigo- Nope. You don't! (Take cookies and runs away.)
DarkGoddess17 and Kish- No! My Cookies!
Ryou- (Coughing) Um...Can we get back on to the story?
Darkgoddess- (Pouts) I still wants mine cookies....
Chap 11 (WHAT??) Deal
"Why the hell do you come back for? Do you not know that this place is dangerous?" Yelled Kish to Ichigo when he realizes that they are once again back in the spaceship.
"I can't endanger you Kish. I can't make another person sacrifice for me!" Ichigo yelled back.
"Didn't I tell you that I only wants you to be happy?" asked Kish.
"Yes....but...but..." Ichigo stuttered, unable to get the words out.
"Kish." Pai said coldly when he walked into the room. "Deep Blue Sama wants to see you. Now."
Kish took one last glance at Ichigo before walking off. Pai followed him.
"But..I....I don't want to loose you Kish...." Ichigo whispered helplessly as she watched the back view of Kish, walking away from her, and walking into danger.
"What?" asked Lettuce, not believing what she has just heard.
"I said that you.." Repeated Ryou impatiently.
"I heard what you said, I just mean, what the hell do you mean? How can I do that" Lettuce shot back.
"It's not that hard. Just find him and ask him what Deep Blue wants Ichigo for and why her, of all people." Ryou said.
"But...I don't know if he will tell me....I mean, we are not exactly friends..." Lettuce trailed off.
"Look. Everyone in here knows that Pai has some kind of crush on you. All you need is a few answers to some questions. It is not going to kill him to answer you." Said Mint.
"Mint's right Lettuce." Said Zakuro "We only have this chance. Unless we use Taruto...but I really doubt he will tell us anything."
"I can ask." Purin offered.
"Look. Both of you. Try it. In the mean time, we will figure something else. Okay?" asked Ryou.
All of the girls nodded slowly in agreement.
Kish knelt on the cold ground, the silence killing him. He sighed impatiently again at the silence. Deep Blue has told him to come, but he himself is not saying anything, just silence and staring at him.
Kish took a deep breath and thought back to Ichigo.
"What was she going to say before I go?" thought Kish. "Maybe I shouldn't be so harsh to her, considering that she did it because she cared for my life..."
"Kish." Deep Blue Sama suddenly said. "You do realize that you have disappointed me greatly."
Kish stayed silent.
"And you do realize that you are going to pay for what you did." Deep Blue continued. "I, will not kill you this time, for you have came back in time. However, I would not tolerate a second time. Understand?"
"Yes..." Kish murmured.
"What was that?" asked Deep Blue coldly.
"I said Yes Sama." Kish answered back.
Deep Blue laughed evilly.
"So. What have you found out about the girl's powers?" asked Deep Blue. "Or are you lost already in her arms?"
Kish did not reply back.
"You. Are sent from our planet to help the poor people over there. You are not meant to betray our race," Deep Blue said accusingly.
"I am not betraying our race Sama, I am only..." Kish started but was cut off by Deep Blue.
"Silence. Kish, you are protecting a human, that means that you are betraying our race. Didn't they tell you that you must never ever fall for a human?" Deep Blue asked.
"But Ichigo is not a human Sama, you said it yourself." Kish shot back.
"Yes I did. But would Ichigo not be an alien, would you not love her?" Deep Blue asked. "Answer me!"
Kish stayed silent.
"I think I need to tell you something Kish..." Deep Blue said.
Kish walked back to his room quietly, deep in his thoughts. Deep Blue has told him of the consequences if he betray, or love Ichigo ever again. And he is never going to risk that chance.
He stopped in front of his room and looked inside, what he saw made him chuckle.
Ichigo paced around the room, panicking.
"What if he killed him? What if he is being tortured? All because of me? What if he..." She rambled on.
"Chill Ichigo. I am fine." Said Kish, coming into the room.
Ichigo squealed at the sight of him and hugged him so tightly that he thought he was going to die.
"But then again, this is actually a nice way to die..." thought Kish as Ichigo suffocated him.
"Hmmm...As much as I enjoy the hug, I think you should let go now before I die of lack of oxygen." Kish said jokingly.
Ichigo blushed as she realize what she is doing and let go.
"Now, never knew that you would be happy to see me" said Kish playfully.
"Don't make it a habit Kish." Replied Ichigo happily.
Kish looked at Ichigo silently. He studied his so content features, so cute and pretty, and for once, she is happy to see him.
"I guess things do change" Kish thought.
Kish sighed, thinking back to the deal that he and Deep Blue has made just then.
"Kish?" asked Ichigo uncertainly. "Are you okay?"
Kish snapped out of his trance and looked at Ichigo with a forced smile.
"Yes? Yes I'm fine." Kish said.
Ichigo looked uncertain but did not pursue that matter further.
"What do you want me for?" asked Pai coldly.
"I...um...uh..." Lettuce stuttered, unable to get the words out.
"If it's about the girl, I can't help you." Pai said as he turned, preparing to leave.
"No! Wait!" Lettuce called out.
Pai stopped and looked at her.
Lettuce still could not get a word out.
"You...Lettuce.." Pai said softly as the coldness in his eyes melted at the sight of Lettuce's desperateness and helplessness.
Lettuce looked up and met his gaze.
Pai bent down and kissed her on the lips. Just a gentle one, short and sweet.
He smiled and turned around.
"Ichigo is safe right now with Kish. But only for a while. Deep Blue would soon kill her after he get her powers. You need to work, fast." He said before teleporting.
Lettuce touched her mouth and watched the place where Pai was last standing.
(Meanwhile)
"Tar-Tar!" Purin yelled out. "Please help!"
Tart smirked.
"What, going to beg me?" he asked.
"No please Tar-Tar, We need your help. I need your help!" said Purin desperately.
Tart looked at Purin weirdly. It seems as if the girl was about to break down. Sure enough, a teardrop slowly made its way down Purin's face.
"Please Tar-Tar...You have to help..." Purin sobbed, falling to the ground.
Tart's expression softened. He stared at the helpless girl who was once laughing and joking. Who was always strong. But now, she is just a vulnerable 11 year old girl (A/N I think it is meant to be 10, but, I can go forward a year!)
Tart helped Purin up slowly.
"I don't know much about her, but all I can say is that she is in safe hands now, but later...no one can be sure. Deep Blue wants her powers and as soon as he has them, Ichigo would die." He said quietly and stood back.
Purin looked at him with great big eyes and smiled a sad smile.
Tart smiled back before teleporting.
"Thank you Tar-Tar" Purin whispered into the wind.
"So...um....Kish? Can you please stop pacing?" asked Ichigo.
"yeah? Hmm? Oh okay." Kish said absentmindedly.
"You sure you okay?" asked Ichigo suspiciously.
"Yes..Of course." Kish said. "...Ichigo...Do you know what your powers are?"
Ichigo looked at Kish weirdly for his sudden outburst.
"You mean, apart from the teleporting and things...." Ichigo said. "I don't know...never tried it out really.."
"What are your weapons? Do you have one? How powerful is your energy?" Kish asked impatiently.
"I don't know what my alien weapon is.......and um....i don't know about the energy either." Ichigo said helplessly.
Kish sighed. This is going to be so much harder than he thought.
"Are you okay Kish? Anything wrong? You can tell me...I..I can help you.." Ichigo said, her eyes filled the sincere.
"No! I don't need anything.!" Kish said rudely, and Ichigo's tears immediately filled with tears and she teleported.
"No..Ichigo..I'm sorry!" Kish called out to the disappearing shadows of Ichigo.
"Damn. I am so badly screwing this up..." Kish said under his breath.
FLASHBACK
"I think I need to tell you something Kish..." Deep Blue said.
Kish looked up.
"If you do not complete your mission soon, or if you mess with my plans at all, Ichigo would be the price." Deep Blue said coldly.
