Chapter 6. Stuck

"RYOU!" Ichigo yelled as she ran to his side, 'He--he really does care' Ichigo thought to herself as she looked up at him.

"Hey! Get your own strawberry! This little sweetie is mine ok?" Kish said as he grabbed Ichigo's arm with a tight grasp.

"Back off.. midget, or i will have to hurt you." Ryou said with a grin. Kish slowly formed a fist. Everything seemed like it was in slow motion... Ryou pushed Ichigo in back of him as he slowly curved his hands into fists. BAM! POW! Blood was everywhere.. on the floor, the walls. Ichigo and the Mew Mews couldn't watch. They all huddled against the door. It was just to.. To violent. Ichigo started crying... she did not want to lose Ryou. And she even felt some pity for Kish. 'Couldn't they both just--- '

"STOP!" Ichigo yelled. Everyone froze. Ryou and Kish unrolled their fists and looked at Ichigo.

"JUST STOP FIGHTING!!!!!" Ichigo yelled.

"Fine kitty... but on one condition.." Kish said with a grin.. Ichigo and the others looked up at him..

"Pick one of us." Kish said, glaring at Ryou. Ichigo looked at Ryou, Ryou looked so shocked and confused. But when she looked a Kish all she saw was a grin and a-- a rolled fist... 'Ho-how can i pick? What if I chose Ryou.. and Kish attacks again? And.. If I chose Kish.. Ryou would never know...' Ichigo thought to herself as everyone stared in silence and waited for her answer... Ichigo was stuck.

"You got 5 minutes toots.." Kish said grinning at her. 'Heh.. Either way, she's coming with me... she doesn't know my backup plan. Just incase she chooses that dumb blonde and they hug and all that sweet stuff, I'll attack. And her little Mew Mew friends of her's cant help because they're to weak. And that blondey wont be able to fight because our fight earlier tired him out. And Ichigo, psh I don't need to worry about her. If her friends are weak against one attack, maybe half an attack will hurt-- well, make her faint.' Kish thought to himself as he dance to the tick tock tick of the clock...

"Times up! Choose." Kish said coldly while he stared at Ichigo.

"I--I-- I choose..."Ichigo got interrupted by a loud BANG! The door was slammed open.. by... Masaya.

"Who started the party.. Without me?" Masaya said with a small laugh. 'Oh no..' Ichigo thought to herself... she couldn't take it anymore... she stared at Ryou, then Kish, and finally, Masaya. Ichigo was really stuck.
