Chapter 14

"Masa... ya?" Kish shot the "Blue Knight" a nasty, dirty glare as the weird Blondie hugged Ichigo back, seeming very pleased to see her. "Ichigo... I never thought I' d see you again." He said with a smile as she started sobbing in joy. "Me neither! Oh! This is Kish!" Ichigo said happily as Masaya turned to face Kish. The two men spent a moment glaring at each other before either spoke up.

"But.... wasn't he dead?" Kish asked, trying to sound happy for Ichigo. But he wasn't. He was feeling really bad for her.

"Uh huh! But I guess he came back for meee!" Ichigo squealed in joy. Masaya and her shared a quick kiss, which cut Kish hard, and then Masaya took a moment to explain.

"I was fighting a Kirema Anima and I thought I was dead but I woke up here to protect you, Ichigo." He said softly. Before they could kiss again Kish interrupted them, rather rudely, but only Masaya seemed upset by the interruption.

"That's all great and stuff but Ichigo is in the middle of a war and..."

"I'll help her fight, then." Masaya said, ruining Kish's "I'll protect her for you" plan. Ichigo giggled and nodded, clinging to her love's arm. Kish's ears drooped a bit and he nodded.

"I'd... I'd better go now... I'll but you some time." He said slowly as he teleported a way. Ichigo watched Kish go and then peered out his bedroom window. Why were they hovering over the Kingdom?

"Let's go!" Masaya called as he picked up Ichigo and jumped through the window. He practically flew down to the ground and set Ichigo down with her friends, who all smiled in greeting.

"Ichigo! Who might this be?" Minto asked as she saw the Blue Knight. Masaya, the Blue Knight, smiled and hugged Ichigo, causing Zakuro to grin.

"So, your boyfriend's still alive?"

"Oh wow! Really? Is that Masaya?" Minto asked quickly "...Whoa!"

"That's right! Now, I believe we've got something to do?"

The Mews were all happily reuniting when, all so suddenly, Pie appeared and glared darkly at Tart.

"You decided to join them...?" He asked coldly. Kish appeared next to Pie and Ichigo stared, remembering when she first found out Kish was an alien. She felt so... Hurt... Her chest seemed to tighten at the thought of fighting him but she managed to drown herself in happiness when Masaya smiled at her. Masaya was her only love... Only love...

"Yes, I have!" Tart snapped "What we're doing is wrong, Pie! Purin and her friends work so hard to keep this place a live and we should worry more about our land then getting new land!"

Pie chuckled softly and looked over at Masaya. "Well this is an interesting surprise, Master." He said coldly to Masaya "I thought you were the one making us do all this..."

Masaya narrowed his eyes at Pie and summoned his sword but, just as he did, his body went cold and he fell over.

"MASAYA!" Ichigo shrieked, kneeling down next to him and trying to shake him a wake "MASAYA! WAKE UP!"

Kish stared sadly, feeling very guilty about all this. How could he be feeling so bad, though? Before he met Ichigo, Kish had wanted to destroy the Mews and see them suffer but now, even though this was what he wanted, he was said. "Ichigo..." He said softly but Minto walked in front of Kish and spread her arms out protectively.

"This is all your fault, isn't it?!" She snapped harshly "Make us feel like our lives are perfect and then tear it all a part. Purin and Tart are happy but you're going to make them fight each other... Retasu and Ryou are finally being honest with each other... Sort of... "Ryou and Retasu both turned bright red and looked at each other "... Ichigo and Masaya are back together and my role model is a Princess! But you're going to take it all away!" Minto yelled fiercely. Just as she screamed this, Masaya began to glow bright blue and Ichigo's screams grew so loud there's no way for a mere story to express the volume.

A blast erupted around Masaya and Ichigo was knocked a way, along with the other Mews. Tart grabbed Purin and fell her out of harm's way while the others hit a nearby building. Kish's eyes softened as Ichigo's sobs rose over the screaming of pain and Pie's smirk grew across his lips.

The dust that had been kicked up began to settle and a figure rose out. Ichigo stared and a little smile crossed her face. The figure was Masaya, only older with black hair that wasn't held by a ponytail. He was alright!

"Masaya!" She cried out happily as she ran forward.

"ICHIGO! NO!" Kish yelled, but it was far too late. The figure threw a powerful blast of ice cold magic at Ichigo and she flew towards the pile of hurt Mews. Retasu and Minto managed to keep her from hitting the stone building again but Ichigo probably wouldn't' have cared if she had hit it.

"Masa... ya? What did...? What did I do wrong?" She asked quietly.

"That was the soul I took so I could return here..." The figure said coldly. The voice was deep and not that of Masaya... It made Ichigo' s chest tighten the same way it did when she saw Kish. "I am Deep Blue."

"Deep... Blue?" Ichigo repeated quietly, remembering Kish talking about him "Kish's... Leader?" Her eyes began to burn with tears, a mixture of sorrow and anger as she turned to Kish. She lifted her strawberry bell and prepared to attack but a sudden pain in side stopped her and she fell to her knees. Who was she mad at...? What was...? What was going on?

Satou: Dun dun duuuuunnnnnn!

Kish: YOU BROUGHT HIM BACK!

Satou: -hugs Kish- Uh-huh!

Kish: ee;

Ichigo: LEAVE HIM ALONE!

Satou: Leave who alone? -Still hugs Kish, grinning rather evilly-

Ichigo: -turns red- ARRRRRRRG!

Kish: Awww... She does like me! .

Ichigo: -slaps Kish- -twitch- Pervert. Super Pervert. Jerk. Idiot. Baka. Pervert. -Twitch twitch-

Satou: Ok then... Well! Here we go with the final chapters! Prepare yourself, I have some surprises planned! Bwahahaha!
