Ichigo smiled "Well that's always great to hear babe." Pudding walked up to them and hugged then along with the other girls. Pudding looked into Ichigo's eyes. "Your not going to leave again unless Ryou goes with you right?" Ichigo smiled knowing that Puddings parents went some were and never returned. "I swear I will go no were with out either you girls or Ryou." The girls nodded there heads knowing the whole Pudding thing. "So Pudding how are your brothers and sister's doing at there new places?" Pudding looked sad for a min then smiled "They love it in there new home. And there new parents told me I can come visit when I want to. Or stay with them. When the whole Mew thing is done if and when it is I was going to move in with them."
Ryou nodded his head "Sounds to me like you got a plan there Pudding." Pudding smiled as the other girls hugged her. No one noticed that Kish was floating up in the air aiming an arrow right at Ichigo. Kish smirked "Here kitty cat." Ichigo turned and looked at Kish as he shot an arrow right at her. Getting her right in the shoulder blades. "If I can't have you Kitty Cat no one can have you." And with that he vanished from sight along with the other aliens. Ryou was angry at Kish for this. But first thing was first they needed to save Ichigo. They gave Ichigo a stick to bite down on as Ryou pulled the arrow out of the wound. Mint gave him one of her napkin to place in the wound until they got back to the café. "Be strong Ichigo."
Ryou hopped on to Ichigo's motorcycle and was handed Ichigo. He held on tight to her as he drove off at a beak neck speed to the hospital. Knowing the other girls would soon follow them. Once Ryou got there and brought Ichigo in and handed her off to the doctors. He was crying then. The nurse's gave him papers to fill out while they prepped the O.R. To take care of Ichigo's wound. After Ryou filled out the paper work and saw the other girls come into the hospital with Ichigo's parents. They kind of explained what had happened to her with out giving out that Ichigo is a Mew. To Ryou's surprise Ichigo's mother came up and hugged him. And whispered into his ear. "We know you will make Ichigo happy when she comes out."
Ryou nodded his head "Thank you." Ichigo's mother smiled slightly as she looked over at her husband and saw Pudding in his lap hugging him and crying in his shoulder with the other girls sitting near him crying on him. She went over and sat down near her husband and patted the girls on the head as they cried for there hurt friend and co worker. Ryou watched as a nurse came into the room. "I see all her friends are here. Ichigo is very weak and she may die if she isn't strong in all of this in the next 42hrs. Ichigo is awake and asking for you all. I ask that you go in one at a time though. If she wants one of you to stay. Let us at the nurse's desk know. Thank you and I hope she is better soon." After the nurse left they all looked at each other. Ryou spoke up first. "I think her parents should go in first, then you Mint, then Lettuce, then Pudding, then Rino, and last be me."
They all agreed to this and they went in one by one. First it was Ichigo's mother. Ichigo's mother walked into her daughter's hospital room and smiled at her. "Hello dear. All your friends are here to see you." Ichigo smiled "Ryou asked me to marry him mom." Ichigo's mother smiled and nodded her head "We know. Your friends told us. He will be in later to see you. I should let your father come and see you now." And with that Ichigo's mother left the room to let her husband talk to there daughter. A short while later Ichigo's father walked into the room and kissed his daughter on the for head. "He loves you deeply dear and you to make a wonderful couple to. And get well soon dear." She smiled after he father left. She knew her parents loved her and cared for her. She should have someone stay here for her. She wanted them all to sleep tonight and see her in the morning after she was stronger to sit up and stuff.
A short while later Mint walked into the room. Ichigo looked at her and knew her friend and first Mew to be found besides her had been crying. "Don't leave me Ichigo. You're my friend. Though normally you know I wouldn't tell you this." Ichigo nodded her head as she hugged her friend and watched her leave. Then Lettuce walked into the room and gave Ichigo a book to read and hugged her and left the room not saying a word. Then Pudding came in full of energy as always. Ichigo made sure that Pudding wouldn't knock open her wound when she came in and gave her a flower and a show. Before she hugged her. "No leaving me Ichigo." Ichigo gave her friend a smile a weak one but it was a smile. "I will never leave you Pudding." Pudding nodded her head and left and let Rino in the room.
When Rino walked into the room she smiled as she walked up and put a necklace around her neck. "My mother gave it to me to bring me luck. It also well helps heal wounds inner and outer. Or so that's what my mother said to me when she passed away. Don't leave us Strawberry." Rino kissed Ichigo on the forehead letting a tear fall there. She stood up and turned and left the room. Ichigo figured that Ryou would be next to entering the room. She was right. Ryou walked into the room and his face from scared to an all glowing look walked up to Ichigo and kissed her hard on the lips. Before he let her back up or air and sat down beside her. "I'm going to stay here with you tonight. I want to be here if you need me Ichigo." Ichigo reached her hand up and ran her hand across his cheek. "I want you to go home and get some sleep. Come back tomorrow in fresh cloths and fresh of mind. I will be here in the morning love. I swear to you on that. I love you Ryou." She kissed his hand and Ryou nodded his head as he stood and walked out of the room letting Ichigo get some sleep. "I know they will under stand some day why I am doing this." Ichigo fell asleep after she said that.
