FWB: Phew, that was a lot of typing! I'm sorry it took so long. I was grounded off of the computer so I had to work overtime yesterday. sighs

Ichigo: Well, it was worth it. Now Kish won't be trying to savor his last moments...

Kish: (Smooch)

Ichigo: Ick! Just start reading the story! xx

FWB: I don't own any of these characters... Arrrggggghhhhh! (

------------------------CHAPTER FOUR-------------------------

As Pie wheeled her back to floor one, Ichigo practically cried. "Why should he affect me this way? I should be glad that he may die. He is my enemy.

Yet a little part of her heart screamed, "I LOVE HIM! HE CAN'T DIE! PLEASE LET ME DIE INSTEAD OF HIM!" she chose to ignore that little part of her heart, taking deep breaths to calm herself. When she and Pie reached the door, he entered, but they wouldn't let her in. She pushed her ear to the door, crying out in pain. Her head screamed for her to stop pushing it, but she jus gritted her teeth and tried to listen. She could only pick up a few snatches of information. "He needs blood," "We can't find anyone with the right blood type." and, "Things do not look to good for him." An idea hit her. Even although she had a terrible fear of needles, she would allow them to test her blood type. If it matched Kish's, she would donate as much blood as he needed. The idea made her queasy, but she knew that it was necessary. She told her bed to go up to the blood donation center on floor five. It took her there slowly, in what seemed like hours. When she finally reached the desk, she took a deep breath and started speaking.

"I would like to have my blood tested." she announced.

The nurse looked down at her in surprise, but willingly pushed her down the hallway to where there was a doctor waiting. He was holding a very long needle and looked at her menacingly. Luckily Ichigo couldn't see this. She took a deep breath and rolled up her sleeve. She felt the prick of the needle, and her world started to go dark. Before long, everything went black.

When Ichigo came to, she heard the doctor talking. "This is amazing; I have never seen anything like it! She has the exact same, extremely rare, blood type as the patient in room 115!"

Ichigo blinked in amazement at this. Room 115? Wasn't that Kish's room? She signaled the nurse. "What patient is staying in room 115" she asked.

Just one moment. I can look that up for you. The nurse left and returned a moment later. "A patient by the name of Kishu Hearta, Miss."

I gasped. "I would like to donate my blood."

"Miss, you are in no condition to donate blood! You have already lost a very critical amount when you took that nasty fall."

"Get the doctor in here to draw my blood. If I don't, Kish may die."

"If you do, you may die. Why are you so eager to donating your life sustaining blood to that man?"

As the needle pricked her skin, she replied, "Because, I think I love that man..." then passed out again.

Pie practically jumped for joy when he heard the news. They had found a blood donor for Kish! Better yet, the donor had willingly given enough blood, and it was on its way. He composed himself, and tried to act as if nothing had happened. It was not in his nature to show any great emotion. Tart, however, was polar opposite of him. As soon as he heard the news, he bounced off the walls. Literally. As he jumped he nearly hit Pie's head. Luckily, Pie had good reflexes and managed to dodge him, Barely. He was suddenly suspicious. Why would a complete stranger, donate three quarts of blood to Kish? He stepped up to the doctor who had given them the news. "Who donated this blood?" he questioned.

The doctor looked taken aback but replied, "A nice, young woman by the name of Ichigo Momomiya. She donated the blood knowing that it put her in serious danger. She is a brave young woman; I sure hope that we do not lose her."

Pie felt like he had been punched in the gut. Tart stopped short. Ichigo? Had they heard right?

"Yes," continued the doctor. "She has been moved back to the intensive care section of the hospital."

Pie sighed. Ichigo could be so stupid! "Why would she risk her life to save Kish's?" he wondered. He sucked in his breath as another thought hit him. "Maybe Ichigo likes Kish back! Naw, that is impossible; she already turned Kish down for Masaya." Yet thought would not stay out of his mind. "I will remember to ask Ichigo about it later. Right now I need to stay with Kish."

---------------------------MEANWHILE--------------------------

When Ryou led the Mew Mews to the cliff, Mint had been the first to dare to go over and look down. When she did, she gasped. How could the aliens do such a thing? How could they be so cruel? Didn't they make peace with them after they gave them the rest of the Mew Aquas? After the others had taken a look, Mint asked, "Ryou, is there anyway that we can help Ichigo? Is there anyway that we can know if she is safe?"

Ryou shook his head. "I tried to make contact with Pie, but either he is too far away to hear, or he is just ignoring our calls. I think I have a plan though. After lots of studying, I think that I can make a transporter. I'll bet that I can have you there in no time. While I build the transporter, you girls work on your combat skills. You are going to need them because This Means War!

---------PLANET INSIDEOUS. THREE DAYS LATER-------------

Kish could hear the beeping of a machine. He couldn't remember where he was. All he could remember was that beautiful dream in which he had kissed Ichigo, and she had kissed him back. He woke with a start when he realized where he was. He was in a hospital bed, and that dream? It wasn't a dream! He looked around the room and spotted Pie and Tart asleep in the corner. "Pie, Tart," he whispered. Pie was the first to hear him. He jumped, startled, causing Tart to fall off his lap and onto the floor.

"Hey, what was that for?" complained Tart. "I was sleeping!"

"Kish is awake!" announced Pie. Then, turning to Kish, he asked, "So, how do you feel?"

"Uh, I fell like a train ran over me, but otherwise, I feel pretty good," he said sarcastically. "How did the doctors find a blood donor? Man, I thought I was history!"

Pie coughed nervously. "Well, a young woman by the name of Ichigo Momomiya donated some blood two days ago. She was in critical condition for a while, but she seems to be on the up swing. You can visit her, but most likely she is still unconscious. It took quite a bit out of her you know."

Kish eyes widened, perplexed. "Why would Ichigo risk her life for me when she supposedly hates me? Unless..." the thought was too much for him. "She couldn't actually like me, could she?"

"Yes, I think that I would like to go see her, if you don't mind. What room number is she in?

"She is in room number 107, the same one that she was in a few days ago. Now if you don't mind, Tart and I would like to go back home and get some rest. Goodbye Kish," said Pie, right before he and Tart vanished.

Kish rang for the nurse. When one appeared in his room, he asked her to please bring him down the hall to room 107. She looked confused, but wheeled him there anyway. After she pushed him inside, she vanished.

Ichigo had been conscious for a while, and she was rather bored. That was, until she heard Kish come in. When she heard him come in she was surprised. Why would he come to visit her? No one new about her blood donation except the doctors, or so she thought.

"Why did you do it."

"Do what?"

Risk your life to save mine? I would have never forgiven myself if you would have died."

Ichigo blushed. "As much as this embarrasses me to say this, I think I am starting to fall in love with you. If I died, at least you would have lived." She bent her face towards her folded hands and a couple of tears slid down her face. "I don't blame you if you hate me, after what a jerk I was." Her voice quivered.

Kish felt as if he was in heaven! Ichigo loved him! He calmed himself down and noticed her crying. He slowly tucked his finger under her chin, lifting her face towards his. He tenderly wiped the tears from her face and whispered, "No, no ,no Ichigo. I would never hate you. If anything, I love you!"

Ichigo's sightless eyes looked amazed. "D-do you mean it?"

He looked down at her, debating if he should show her that he meant it. He slowly brought his face close to hers, then kissed her square on the lips.

He felt her surprise melt away as she kissed him passionately. When it was over, he pulled her close and stroked her hair as she sobbed.

"This is not right, Kish! Your people will never accept me, and my people will never accept you!"

Kish felt betrayed by his people as well as hers. "We could run away," he mumbled, but they both knew that that would never work.

He looked down at her again and noticed something. She wasn't wearing any bandages and she didn't have any scars. In fact, she looked as if everything was normal, save her eyes. "Your scratches," he asked. "What happened to them... they are gone!"

She turned her face towards him. "I-I really do not know. Today, when I woke up, they had just disappeared."

He tried to think up a possible explanation, but nothing seemed to work "Well," he said after a moment, "we will just have to call it a miracle. I have got some good news Kitten. In two days, they will let both of us out of the hospital. Then we can work out a plan. Until then, concentrate on getting rested up, I will visit you later today!"

As Kish left Ichigo whispered, "Goodbye, Kish" then fell asleep. An hour later, she woke with a start. She could sense that someone was in her room! "Wh-who is there?" she called out, but no one answered. She heard the creak of the door, and someone approached her. She tried to press the buzzer for the nurse, but it was not working. She started to panic.

The stranger in the room smiled. He saw Ichigo panicking, and wanted her more than anything else. She would make the perfect wife. And if she did not submit, well that was too bad. For her that is. He reached for her, then stopped short. He would wait for a while, and if he was patient she would be his. He walked back towards the door. Yes, she would be his...
