Chapter 5

The darkness was like water, swirling around in different shades of black, and yet not. It wasn't cold or warm, not good or evil. It was just dizzy and foggy.

Pai felt the feeling return to his body, and suddenly he came to his senses. The touch of stone against his back was the first thing he could feel. Then came the sounds. Some one was talking in a calm voice, though Pai didn't recognize the speaker. The voice was warm and firm.

Then came the taste. The taste of something awful that tasted like dirt and oaks, and made him want to spill the contents of his stomach. He cracked his eyes open slightly, and was happy to notice that everything around him was shadowed, making it easier for him to get used to using his eyes again.

What…?

Why…?

When…?

Where…?

Who…?

The worlds stuck to his dry throat, and all he could force out was a groan. He heard someone shift around him, and suddenly strong arms were holding him, pulling him up, so that he rested in sitting position.

He raised his blue eyes to meet pair amber ones.

"Welcome back." Kish said and Pai nodded.

"It's good to be back." Kish smiled at the response, and suddenly a blur had attached itself on his side, hugging him tightly.

"It's so good to have you back, Pai. I-I, I'm sorry for what I…" Tartelett started. Pai sniggered, something that seemed to startle the two other aliens.

"It's okay. You have pledged alliance to the royal house. It was your duty, and I would have done the same." A sniffled, and then the arms left his side. Tartelett was blushing furiously. Pai sniggered again, only to find the blushing Tartelett and the obliviously fully recovered commander to look at him as if he had grown another head, which in turn got him laughing even more.

…Oh god, it was good to be alive…

"Are you sure you feeling well, Pai?" Tartelett asked concerned, and Pai laughed harder.

Kish looked grimly around in his room, not knowing for sure if it was the last time he would see the room. He smiled grimly to himself.

It was time to put The Plan to action.

He met up with Pai and Tartelett in the hallway, and without a word, they teleported to go against Deep Blue.

--------------------------

'At a random rooftop'

"And now we'll serve the main course for you! Our ruler has finally awakened!" Kish yelled with an exited grin on his face. The outside was enjoying the damage, and the inside was under turmoil.

Would it work?

Kish looked down at Ichigo who was standing beside the newly awakened Deep Blue. Her fingers were raised on her lips, and her sad eyes were little wide, as she stuttered Masaya's name in shock. Kish was painfully reminded of the last time he had seen her; she had raised her fingers to her lips then too. The eyes widened more and the eyes seemed sadder as Deep Blue explained that Masaya was his alias. The whole world was breaking under her feet, and Kish felt the same.

When Kish saw the angry look Deep Blue cast at Ichigo, he froze in fear. He had been the one to come up with the plan. He had been the one to suggest it to Pai and Tartelett. And he had been the one who had decided to himself that if Ichigo was in too much danger, he would throw out the plan that their future hanged on, and challenge Deep Blue outright.

He would never be able to forgive himself if Ichigo was hurt. Not even after she turned him down. He could only barely stop himself from attacking Deep Blue, his supposed ruler, when he lashed out at Ichigo.

Thank god the mew mew's protected their friend. Kish forced his controlled face into a smirk, and landed softly on the roof they were fighting in. He was followed by Pai and Tartelett. They all landed in a triangle formation before their new ruler, as if protecting him from the mew mews. But it was just symbolic. Both Deep Blue and the aliens knew that they would not need to protect Deep Blue. He could very well take care of himself.

The mews looked at them wondering, curious of why they didn't attack the Deep Blue, who they had themselves said to be one of the two enemies they had to face.

"Be Greeted, our newly awakened ruler." Kish stated, smirking still, while his insides where twisting in agony. He did not like to turn his back to his enemy. He stood up from the bow he had been in, followed by Pai and Tartelett. Deep Blue stalked closer to Kish, his boots cracking on the surface of the roof. Kish could feel the Deep Blue's exited breathing by his neck.

Oh God.

Typical his luck. Of course having been in sleep for thousands of years, Deep Blue longed to do everything he had been unable, while in sleep. And apparently,

He was horny as hell.

Kish wasn't disgusted at the thought. He was used to being lusted after. Not only because he was the emperor's son, but because his body. He was beautiful from birth, and his daily training gave him the sleek body of an athlete. His uniform, showing his stomach and hips, drew both women and men after him, making him one of the most wanted bachelors of his race.

The 'elves' were very free minded, and to them it had no matter which sex one preferred. Kish had slept with a woman or two… And a couple of guys.

Deep Blue's soft hands went around him, and drew soft lines on his toned stomach and back.

This had not been the Plan.

But Kish was a commander of a great army, and he knew how to improvise. So he purred so softly only Deep Blue could hear, and then stopped suddenly, as if being ashamed he was 'turned on' by his superior. Deep Blue leaned really close, his breath tickling Kish's throat, and Kish absently noted Ichigo's eyes widen, along with the mew mew's and Ryo and Keiichiro.

"And what is you…relationship with me…?" Deep Blue asked, his tender voice implying more, though honest curiosity filled it. Kish answered calmly, his face shoving admiration.

His insides twisted again, and he was disgusted with himself. That he would do this. His gaze strayed to Ichigo, and he was no longer filled with hesitation.

He needed to take care of Deep Blue. Ichigo was in no state to fight; her cheeks still moisture with tears.

"We are yours to command. We are here to do as you wish, to fill your wishes, and to make everything you see, yours." Kish said, his voice flowing in an almost erotic manner. His voice landed on a different deepness, but he quite couldn't reach the voice he talked to Ichigo with, when they were alone. Deep Blues two fingers trailed at the edge of his pants. Kish half turned to him, breathing heavier.

After training some mind and meditation techniques, one learned to control one's breath. And fast he wished it to be.

Kish half turned to Deep Blue as his ruler asked;

"Oh Really…? Everything I see…?" Deep Blue looked pointedly at the Commander. Kish eyes took a dull, hypnotised state, as he purred so everyone could hear.

"Oh yes." And with that Deep Blue turned to the mew mews.

"I'll take care of you later; I have some business to attend." And with that, he teleported away with Kish, his arms still around the commander. The whole time Kish's eyes wore the glazed, dull look. Except for one glimpse of pain that flashed through them, before the ruler of earth and the commander of the armies of Nebulosa teleported away.

"Kish!" Ichigo managed to yell, before they were gone.
