FWB: O.K. I am done with another chappy. This one took me a while because I was grounded off of computer for a couple of days...
Ichigo: Why?
FWB: Because I was caught drawing past my bedtime... oops!
Kish: That stinx!
FWB: Tell me about it... Oh, and I don't own any of these characters. If I did, there would be a much better ending to the book!
-------------------------------CHAPTER FIVE---------------------------------
Ichigo whimpered a sigh of relief as she heard "the stranger" closed the door. As soon as "he" was gone, she burst into tears. She pressed the buzzer for the nurse and was surprised when it worked. "Why is the buzzer working now? It wasn't working when 'the stranger' was here?" she wondered. As soon as the nurse came in, Ichigo asked for Kish to be brought into her room.
A few moments later, she heard Kish come walking into her room. "K-Kish? Is that you?"
"Yes Princess, it is. I told you that I would come see you later. Was it that you couldn't get enough of me?" he kidded, but as soon as he saw Ichigo's pale face and wide eyes, he stopped. "What's wrong kitten?"
"Kish? Someone was in my room!"
'What do you mean, someone was in your room? Was it a nurse or a doctor?"
"N-no, Kish. It was a stranger. When I asked him who was there, he did not answer. I could hear him though."
"How do you know that the stranger was a he? It could be a she..."
"No Kish, it was a man. I am sure of it. He was breathing hard, and his footsteps belonged to that of a man. I know it!"
Kish was shaking with fury. What kind of person would try to scare a blind person, especially one that was recovering! "I will alert the hospital staff about this. Why didn't you press your buzzer to signal the nurse when the stranger was in your room?
"I-I did! It was not working when he was here! Why would it be working now but not be working when the stranger was here?" Ichigo asked, confused.
"I don't know, but you can be sure that I will get to the bottom of this. For the meanwhile, would you like it if I moved into the neighboring room? We can set up a system that will alert me if someone is in your room..."
"I-I think that I would like that very much, Kish. Thank you." Kish started to leave. "Kish, please, don't go! Can you please stay?"
Kish wasn't used to Ichigo wanting him to stay. "Whatever you want, precious." He said as he approached her bedside. He bent down and kissed her. She felt tense to him, nervous. He pulled her closer and deepened the kiss. He started to pull away, afraid that she would be overwhelmed, but she just pulled him back towards her. She was trembling, and he felt it. He hated himself for doing this to her. If he hadn't interfered, this would have not happened. She would be living her normal life, doing whatever she usually did, not being stalked, and blinded, and hurt. Whoever was frightening her was going to pay, oh he was going to pay.
-----------------------------------MEANWHILE----------------------------------------
Ryou put the finishing touches on the transporter, a.k.a. project 3000. He stepped out of his laboratory and went to find the girls. He found them practicing their combat skills. "O.K. girls, are you ready? Project 3000 is ready for its mission. I need to hook you all up to these communicaters and give you these false ears... then you will begin your destiny. Remember that the only person that you need to find right now is Kish. Do not attack any civilians unless they attack you... do you got it?" the four girls nodded as they reached Ryou's lab. They would find Ichigo, and kill Kish...
--------------------------------PLANET INSIDEOUS----------------------------------
After Kish was situated in his new room, he went to check on Ichigo. He found her sleeping peacefully. She looked like an angel. "Gosh," he thought, "what did I do to deserve such a creature?" he stepped out of her room, quietly closing the door. Now it was time to figure out who was behind all of this chaos. He thought of all the possible candidates. Deep Blue? No he was long gone. An arch enemy? There was no one aside from himself, Pie and Tart. Pie, Tart? Would they do such a horrendous thing? He made his way to the front desk and asked the nurse to page them.
They came in, looking confused. Kish looked at them in the eyes and asked him the question. "Did either of you enter Ichigo's room and try to scare her?" They looked offended.
"What do you mean, trying to scare Ichigo" asked Pie accusingly.
"Someone was in her room and would not identify themselves. They stayed in there for a moment, then left without saying a word. Ichigo is pretty nervous."
"I may hate her, but that is lower than low!" exclaimed Tart.
"Good, so I trust that neither of you had anything to do with this?"
"Of course we have nothing to do with this! What do you think we are?!"
"O.K. then. That is all that I had to ask. See you guys later."
Well that eliminated that possibility. Who else could be responsible?
------------------MEANWHILE-----------------
The man slowly walked into her room and pulled out a cloth. She was sleeping, good. He crept towards her and pressed the cloth over her nose and mouth. Her eyes opened and she thrashed about, trying to escape. In all the commotion, her bell fell off onto the bed, un-noticed. Then, after a brief moment, her body went limp, and she was silent. "So far so good" he thought, grinning evilly. He lifted her out of her bed, and hoisted her onto his shoulders, in an instant, they were gone without a trace. The only reminders of what had happened were a ribbon and a note. A note and ribbon with a bell tied to it. Nothing else...
Kish had a terrible feeling like something was wrong. He just couldn't put his finger on what it was. He walked into his room and checked his things. Nothing was missing, everything was just as it had been when he had left it. Yet the feeling would not stay out of his mind. It did not occur to him to check on Ichigo. He called the front desk and asked if there was ant messages for him. There were none. "It must be my imagination," he thought as he walked back to his room. For some strange reason, he had the incredible urge to go to the front desk and ask if there were any messages for him again. He decided to go down and ask. The lady looked at him strangely when he asked the same question that he had asked a few minutes earlier but checked for him anyway. She looked surprised.
"Why someone must have just left a message for you! Her you go," she handed a slip of paper with writing on it. He walked back to his room, unfolded the message and read.
"Kish, I have a surprise for you. Enter room #107 and you will find. Signed anonymous." Kish was puzzled but thought that he should go check room #107 anyway. He got up to leave and realization hit him. Room #115 was Ichigo's room. Maybe she had a surprise for him! He skipped to the room next to his and gently opened the door a crack. His nose caught a strange odor. It smelled like chemicals. He peeked inside. Nobody was there! He looked around wildly and his eye caught a note on her nightstand.
It read, "Kish, your little Kitten is long gone. She is now my prisoner. I guess that I am too smart for the likes of you!" the note was unsigned.
Kish sat down on the bed, stunned. What did the note mean, gone? He heard a tinkle and looked down. Ichigo's bell was lying on her bed. He lifted it, held it to his face, and wept.

FWB: so I guess that I will end there!
Ichigo: NOOOOOOOOO!
Kish: (pale faced) W-what?!
FWB Too bad Kish. You will just have to wait and see what happens... Mwahahahahaha!
