A/N: Hi everyone! I'm sooo sorry I haven't been updating! I have no good excuse… except that I'm lazy... I'm so sorry! This is the last chapter to A World Apart…I don't think there will be a sequel unless one is asked for… so probly not…this is probly the most stupid chapter in the story. Basically I just had to end it. I had no new ideas for this one, and just had to finish it…anyway. Here's the chapter and I hope you enjoy it!

Ichigo and Kish:

Ichigo felt very warm. She never wanted to move. But she felt someone tapping her. "Ugh…Why do I have to get up now? Its to early!"

She slowly opened her eyes and found out why she was so warm. Kish had wrapped his arms around her and she was pressed up against him. She smiled, but that quickly faded. The doctor was leaning over them with a large scowl on his face.

Kish groaned while the doctor tapped his shoulder. He pulled Ichigo tighter, then opened his eyes. 'What's going on?"

The doctor said angrily, "You're not supposed to be here, kid. I don't know who let you stay, but you gotta get out."

Ichigo got a scared look on her face. "Please, don't make him leave. I…I need him to stay. If he doesn't stay then…then I wont eat."

The doctor raised an eyebrow. "You wont eat? Why should I let him stay? Why do you need him here?"

Ichigo nodded. "I will refuse to eat if you make him leave. I will slowly die. I need him here because if he leaves I'm afraid he'll leave forever. I love him, please don't make hi go."

Kish squeezed her hand as the doctor sighed. "Alright…he can stay until you're dismissed. Which is actually why I came in here. As long as you rest, sleep, and eat, you can go home. I'm assuming you will hold her to this?" he asked Kish as Ichigo nodded.

"Of course. She will get better soon," he replied, looking pointedly at Ichigo.

"Alright, then as soon as you sign out you two are free to go."

"Thank you so much. And I'm sorry for being trouble," Ichigo said happily.

The doctor just smiled on his way out.

Ichigo signed out and took Kish to the apartment. She unlocked the door and found a surprise. Tart and Pudding were cooking in the kitchen while Lettuce and Pie did whatever they could to help. However, everyone stopped and stared as Ichigo and Kish entered, Kish's arm supporting her around the waist.

Lettuce and Pudding rushed to Ichigo. "Ichigo! You're okay! You had us so worried! If you EVER stop eating, we will force food down your throat!"

Pie and Tart stood there, mouths open. Who knew Lettuce could yell, much less that loudly?

Ichigo smiled. "You don't have to worry. As long as Kish is here, I'll be fine. And I have a feeling he's not leaving again. But…Hey! What are you doing here? I mean, Pie and Tart. Did you guys stay here last night with Lettuce and Pudding?"

The four glanced at each other. What could they say that wouldn't give Ichigo and Kish the wrong impression? Finally Pie responded, "Yea, the girls asked us to stay with them last night to protect them from…whatever."

"You didn't do anything to them, did you?" asked Kish. Even though he knew that Pie and Tart wouldn't do anything, he felt like he should be a big brother to Lettuce and Pudding.

"Of course not! How could you think that!" Tart asked, turning red. Quick glances at each other decided that they would omit how they fell asleep.

"Kish, why are you acting like an older brother? In the end, it's their choice. However, if you two" she looked at Pie and Tart, "have done anything to my sisters, I will have to kill you."

"N-No, we didn't do anything, we swear! Now can we please change the subject?" asked Pie.

"Sure. Hey, what's for lunch? I'm starved!" exclaimed Ichigo.

Kish smiled at this comment. Her eyes we back to their normal selves. He knew she would be better soon. And he would make sure of it. He wasn't going anywhere. For a long, long, time.

A/N: And there you have it! The conclusion to A World Apart. I hope it wasn't too bad. Thanks to all of you who read it. I really appreciate the reviews I got from you. If anyone would like a sequel, I may come up with one, but that depends! So, this is hana-chan who FINALLY FINISHED HER STORY!
