Chapter 6: Here to protect you

All Ichigo could hear in her mind was what Kish said. 'Is it really true? I've judged him without knowing him? He was always obsessed with me, and he is the enemy, but he was so kind to me yesterday while everyone else ignored me...' Ichigo seemed in turmoil. First of all, it had been two days since Masaya was poisoned, and she had gotten no antidote! She wouldn't be surprised if he was already dead by the time she got there, but she didn't want to think of it..

Though somehow, she knew he was alive, because with her love, she could just feel his heartbeat.. She felt her heart, which began to race as she began to perspire, as she noticed how faint the connection was.. 'Is he dying now? Or Am I losing my connection with him? IMPOSSIBLE! I LOVE MASAYA!' Ichigo wasn't too keen on seeing Kish, but she knew that he would be the only one who would lead her to the antidote.. 'Hurry up!'

As if on queue, Kish entered the room. His expression was changed, blank, and devoid of its normal impish playfulness. His golden eyes seemed more solid then melting. His face was hard. "Ichigo. You want the antidote right? And to get out of here? Well hurry up lets go! I'd expect your little boyfriend to be dead by now but there is a slight chance he might be alive.. C'MON!"

"Wait! Why are you helping me?" asked Ichigo confused. Kish didn't face Ichigo, but she could see the pained expression on his face. "Because, he loves you, and you love him very much as well. If I can't be yours, then I want to at least see you smile and be happy, even if it's not with me. I can still always love you, but as well be happy because you are happy." Ichigo looked at him confused, she couldn't believe what he just said, and it left her thinking. "COME ON!"

Ichigo jumped off the bed and struggled to catch up with Kish..

She followed and caught up with him, twisting round corridors, and down stairs.. "Where are we going?" she demanded.

"The antidote is hidden in a solidly protective area, we have had this for a VERY long time.. This antidote was common in our living upon our home land, but as soon as humans moved in and destroyed the environment, they destroyed most of this magical medicine as well!" he growled. Ichigo paused for a minute, starting to feel ashamed for her kind, before running some more to catch up. "I feel ashamed." Kish only grunted in response.

"So we had the only antidote and had it protected well, it's okay, we just have to clear the traps, and when you reach the medicine and hold it, it'll transport you right home.. We had this set-up before humans lived upon our planet, so that we may find it easy to escape any further persecution before we get home free."

Kish grabbed Ichigo, and she screamed. He jumped down through the floor and landed in a dark area. "We're here, be careful.. We're gonna have to trust our powers to move through.."

Ichigo looked around for a bit and hugged herself. "I'm scared," she mumbled in a childish voice. Kish was shocked, and his image softened, almost reverting to his same self. She seemed so vulnerable, and he loved her too much to allow anything to happen to her.. Despite how hurtful what she said yesterday was, he couldn't really find the heart to turn cold towards her, and stop loving her. He was realising that he could never stop loving her! "It's okay." Ichigo felt strong hands wrap around her. When she looked up, Ichigo could barely see a pair of golden eyes, less hard as before, and more smooth and full of love. "Don't worry, I'm here, and no matter what, I'll protect you, because you mean so much to me."

Just as quick as the arm came it went. And Ichigo felt safe, somewhat a lot safer then as if she were with Masaya! She felt that she could really rely on him, which was strange to her. "Thanks," mumbled Ichigo.

She shook her head, and started walking hands in front of her.

Kish could see this slightly in the darkness, then he reached out, and held Ichigo's hand, she was shocked, but obliged, squeezing his hand out of fear, and he squeezed back with reassurance. "Don't worry," he said. "We'll save your love." Ichigo was a little limp in her walking. 'Did he just say what I thought he said... Has he.. Given up on me?' she thought sadly. Why she felt sad, she didn't know, her heart just ached. Ichigo just badly wanted to ask. 'Do you love me?' but stopped herself. She walked forward in silence.

Meanwhile, Kish was still contemplating on the news her heard... How could he believe this?

SPOILER!!

That Masaya, Ichigo's Masaya was their leader! DEEP BLUE!!

He thought back to when he heard the news...

Pai was clacking away at a separate computer as Kish walked in with piercing eyes, and furrowed eyebrows, with slightly noticeable tear track trails.

"Take a look at this," said Pai, without looking up, he knew it was Kish, and he knew that he was having problems with the girl.

"You should speed up with giving the girl the antidote."

"WHAT??!" Shouted Kish. "Why?" he demanded.

"Because, HE is our leader," stated Pai.

"WHAT??!! I'LL BE DAMNED IF THAT IDIOTIC BASTARD RULED OVER US!" He shouted in rage.

"I've been researching, and I found, that as that 'Masaya' is Deep Blue. The only thing is that Deep blue hasn't awoken yet. When he does, he will completely take over the boy, and come back to helping us complete the plan." Stated Pai.

Kish was shocked. That bastard was to be their leader! But.. If Deep Blue took over, and he forgot everything, then he could have Ichigo all to himself! Kish rejoiced. "If I hand her the antidote now, then it should possibly speed up the process? Correct."

Pai thought about it for a moment. "I suppose that is correct. A taste of the past could bring up memories and then finally Deep Blue." Said Pai

Kish smirked. "Then I shall bring our leader home!" Kish rushed off, he paused, he didn't really want to see her. He covered up to a tougher self and stepped in. During his whole time talking to Ichigo, he never looked at her. In fear of his veil wearing down, and breaking down in a pool of pitiful human emotions before her... "Ichigo..."

Kish stopped for a second, and Ichigo shrank against him. He smiled at the warmth he was getting and kissed Ichigo's hair. Ichigo paused and looked up at the sudden tingling in her hair.

She could feel warm breath on her scalp. "Are you.. Smelling my hair?" she asked surprised turning away. "It smells nice, what shampoo do you use?" Although it wasn't seen, Ichigo raised an eyebrow. "Let's go, I'm right behind you.."

Kish smiled, and took a step forward, saying "And I'm right here to protect you.."

Awww!! Yes! Did Ichigo just want to ask Kish whether he loved her? AND I HOPE HE'S NOT GIVING UP!!! Wait.. He's not! yeah! (jumps for joy)

Please read and review peoples! And I'll soon put up my next two chapters! O.c characters will be introduced, and Kish and Ichigo will be on their way to the antidote! okay kay kay! See you all next chapter! (runs off)
