FWB: Remember that I don't own any of these characters.... or Ichigo would kiss him willingly...
Chapter Two"Noooooo!" screamed Kish as he flew down the ravine to find Ichigo. His eye caught something pink. There, he saw her, lying in a pool of blood. Her long feathery lashes were closed, covering her pink eyes. He checked to see if she was breathing. "Please," he thought, "by some miracle let her be alive!" Just then he saw her chest lift weakly. "She is alive," he thought "...but for how long?" He yelled up to Pie and Tart, "She is alive, but we need to get her to a hospital... fast!"
Pie yelled back down, "I don't think that the hospital would greet a couple of aliens with an unconscious girl. Kish, I think our only hope is to bring her to our planet."
"You are right, but we must hurry." Kish yelled, as he gently picked Ichigo up.
"Kish we must take the ship, it'll be too hard for you to transport with her all the way back home," yelled Tart.
"Come on Tart... do you really think we have a choice? I don't think she is going to last that long."
Tart flew down to where Kish was to try to convince him otherwise. When he got there, Kish was already gone. "Kish," he thought as he and Pie teleported, "is she really worth your life?"
Kish concentrated on making it to Planet Insideous but was starting to feel faint. "Kish," he thought, "this is not the time for weakness. If you pass out Ichigo will die."
He concentrated giving every last bit of his energy. Suddenly, he was in a hospital and the last thing he remembered was some one taking Ichigo from him before he passed out.
-------------------------------Three Days Later------------------------------
Kish heard someone talking, but he could not make out what they were saying He heard little bits of phrases like, "We will hook him up to this I.V.. That should give him some more energy." He also heard Tart.
"Will Kish get better?" he heard him ask in a small, scared voice.
"We can't count on anything, but it looks good for him right now. I can't say as much for that girl he brought in 'though."
That jolted Kish back into consciousness. He blinked a few times, trying to correct his blurred vision.
"Kish!" exclaimed Tart. "Kish you are alive!" he tackled him in a big bear hug. Ripples of pain flashed through his body.
A nurse pulled Tart from him saying, "He hasn't had full recovery yet. You need to be a bit more careful."
"Welcome back," said Pie.
"How is Ichigo?" asked Kish, struggling to get up but plopping back down on the hospital bed.
"Ummmmm.... she is doing well for someone that had taken that much of a fall," said Tart, shifting uneasily from foot to foot. Kish could tell he was lying.
"Kish," said Pie, "You need to focus on yourself right now. Then you can worry about Ichigo."
Kish started to panic. Something must be terribly wrong. "I need to see Ichigo! Please, get me to Ichigo!"
The nurse shook her head. "You can't do that right now, I'm sorry. You need to get some rest."
Kish glared at her and announced, "If you don't let me see Ichigo I will walk right out of this room and find her myself, or I will die trying!"
The nurse looked worried. "Well, I supposed I could arrange things..."
"I want to see her now!"
Pie sighed, "Well, I suppose, but it is not going to be pretty."
The nurse looked hesitant then wheeled his bed down the hall and to the floor transporter.
Kish looked confused as she pressed the floor one button. He tried to recall what was on floor one. It hit him; floor one was the intense care floor.
Kish gulped, afraid of seeing what pain he had caused Ichigo. They were on floor one and he was being wheeled down the hallway. They stopped at room number 107.
Pie coughed. "Come on Tart, we had better get going."
"Awwwww," said Tart. "I wanted to see the witch at her worst!"
Kish pulled himself up and glared menacingly at Tart.
"Uhhhh, I had better get going," said Tart as he pulled Pie down the hallway. "Wouldn't want to be late for my uh transporting class? Yeah, that's right, my transporting class. The teacher will be real angry if I am late again. See ya later Kish!"
Kish sighed, finally some peace and quiet. He felt butterflies in his stomach as the nurse opened the door.
"I think I'll leave you two alone right now," she mumbled as she left the room. "Press your beeper if you need anything."
Kish pressed the forward button on his bed and pulled back the curtain.
His throat caught at what he saw. Ichigo lay there, bandages covering her forehead, arms legs and neck. He saw numerous scrapes and gashes on her face and body.
"Oh Ichigo," he sobbed. "How could I have done this to you!"
He reached for her hand and gently lifted it. It was warm and soft as if everything was normal. A piece of hair was in her face. He leaned forward and tenderly tucked it behind her ear. The only thing that comforted him was the steady beeping of the machine that monitored her heart. He clutched her hand hoping, praying that she could make it through all of this. An overwhelming sense of grief overtook him and he wept bitterly. "How could I have been so stupid!" he mumbled. "If I had just minded my own business, none of this would have happened!
Ichigo groaned, and her eyelashes fluttered. "Where am I?" she mumbled. "Kish are you there?"
Kish wiped the tears from his eyes in amazement. "Yes, I'm here Kitten. Do you need any thing?"
"Kish, I can't see!"
-------------------------End Of Chapter-----------------------

Kish: This is no laughing matter. Now you won't be able to see my most handsome face!
Ichigo: Yuck! Now I'm glad that I'm blind
