Chapter 6

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

Pai fell to his knees followed by Tartelett. Pai groaned.

"This was not the plan…." Pai whined. After all the trouble to come up with the Plan and keep it secret, their Plan had been destroyed by their opponent.

"I can't believe he actually went for it." Tartelett said little dazed. Pai just answered annoyed;

"Well of course he did. There are not many ways to take Deep Blue's guard down, and while Deep Blue isn't as strong as Kish, he still is a worthy opponent. This was an opportunity for us. Kish realized that and decided to take it." Pai sighted again.

"Where did they go?" Ichigo screeched quite alarmed. Not only had it showed that Masaya was the Deep Blue, but that he had taken with him Kish. Kish, who Ichigo had grown attached to. Pai sighted again, and fell on his back on the dusty roof. Retasu ran for Pai, asking if he was okay. Pai just smiled, before sighting again. He was physically healed from his injuries, but the feeling of being hurt stayed.

"To somewhere quiet, one would guess… I mean Deep Blue wouldn't want to have his way with Kish in front of everybody." Tartelett answered.

"How come you are so okay with this? Your enemy just showed he was attracted to your leader, and Kisshu wasn't even surprised. And then you just simply let it happen…?" Zakuro wondered. Pai and Tartelett shared a look.

"Well, this isn't the first time someone is attracted to commander. He is adored by both women and men. I mean, have you actually seen him? Looked at his body and not only seeing an enemy?" Pai said.

The mew mew's looked at each other, Ichigo with a slight blush on her face. They had seen him alright. Impossible by the way he dressed. Minto had even once been slightly bitter at Ichigo that she had so many guys longing after her.

"Well that has nothing to do with it…But Kish wouldn't…d-do… anything with Deep Blue, would he?" Minto said blushing at the thought. She loved Yaoi, and the Deep Blue and Kish were both extra ordinarily beautiful guys. If only she could see…

Ichigo turned to Minto, her eyes really wide.

"Kish would never…!" Ichigo started, when she turned to Tartelett fast.

"Right…?" She almost wailed at the thought. Tartelett looked little bothered by the thought.

"Well I guess…" He started, when suddenly a pained shriek filled the air.

The Deep Blue smiled evilly while pressing Kish against the wall. They had appeared at Serenity, and he was pushing Kish against the wall by his bedroom door.

Kish groaned as blue rubbed their groins together. He trailed his fingers along Kish's jaw, making the other shudder as the cold fingers made contact with the tanned skin. The former knight kissed Kish, forcing his mouth open with his tongue. He rummaged through Kish's mouth with his tongue, rubbing their tongues together. He was pleasantly surprised when Kish answered his administrations.

Kish whimpered when he moved to lick Kish's ear. He sucked on the tip and nibbled on it, making the smaller boy groan. He moved his wet tongue along Kish's throat, stopping by the collar-bone. He bit down on the skin with a growl, making the other boy bleed.

God damn it. I can't stop my body from reacting to his administrations… Kish cursed in his mind.

Deep Blue brought his hand to slide down Kish's spine, into his pants, and to cup the other boy's ass. Blue leaned in on another kiss, when Kish finally acted. He bit harshly down on Blue's lip, drawing great amounts of blood. Before the older man had time to react, Kish had twisted him around, forced him on his knees and settled a heavy boot against right shoulder blade.

"Thing's aren't as they used to be, Blue. Because, I, the emperor's son, bow to nobody! The days of dinosaurs is long gone!" And with that exclamation Kish applied more power on the twist he had on the knight. He was holding his both hands behind him, and he smiled in satisfaction as he heard the tell-tale cracking of a broken bone.

"HHHNGRH!" Blue tried to stop his scream as his arm broke. He turned his blazing eyes on Kish before twisting away from Kish's hold. The Deep Blue fast jumped to his feet and slung a fist at Kish. Kish blocked it, and sent a round-a-house kick at blue. Blue moved to the side and sent a fist at Kish at the same time as Kish. They caught each others fists and growled at each other, their fangs now bared, their eyes blazing wildly.

They kicked from the ground and each other at the same time, sending them from each other. They settled on battle stances. The knight was breathing heavily and hugging his left arm tightly to himself to keep it from moving around wildly and inflicting more pain on him.

"Time to die, Deep Blue." Kish said, spitting on the hallway.

"Ah, so eager, emperor's son. Now let's see what you can do then, shall we?" Blue said. They ran towards each other.

The battle was on.

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

In a flash of blue light Kish and Deep Blue appeared in the air high above them. Kish's shirt was missing, and his chest gleamed at the late sun, and he landed swiftly at the rooftop. His green hair, cropped short again, was hanging in sweaty strands across his face which showed a determination.

Deep Blue landed easily too, though the damage on him was oblivious. His lower lip was bleeding, and looked like somebody else had bitten through it. His other hand hung limply on his side and he was breathing heavily.

But what was most terrifying was the wound on his thigh'. The wound was deep, horrible looking, and it still had a black pole of metal going through it, which Pai and Tartelett recognized belonging to one of the candle holders on Serenity's library.

Kish ran towards Deep Blue, bringing his staff in a swift movement to collide against the sword Deep Blue had in his hand. The two weapons collided with a loud clang. Kish brought his right feet to kick blue and succeeded throwing his opponent off-balance.

Ichigo's eyes widened as she looked at the fast movements she could barely follow. Even thought Deep Blue seemed to be an able fighter, it was also very oblivious that Kish was winning. He looked almost as if he was performing a dance of sort.

I never knew he was so strong.

And at that moment it became clear to Ichigo that Kish could've killed her any time, had he wanted to.

He really does care for me. But is it too late? After what I said?

The fight soon came to an end when Kish succeeded in twisting the light sword out of deep Blues hands. With another kick from Kish blue was hurled over the edge of the roof, sending him falling towards the pavement.

Ichigo flinched when the body met the ground with a nasty crash.

Kish smirked confident, the smirk that had not been seen in a while shining on his face.

"Hah! Told you I could beat him up!" Kish laughed at Pai who just smiled relieved. Not that he had suspected his commander couldn't do it, of course.

"Commander! You did it!" Tartelett laughed, hugging Purin who was smiling too.

Ichigo sat on the roof in a daze, looking at the pair of feet that neared her. Kish's feet. Ichigo raised her eyes to smile at Kish, ready to apologise and congratulate him.

Kish didn't even look at her as he walked past her.

Kish kneeled by the light sword that was lying on the ground behind Ichigo, and raised his hand carefully to take it into his hands.

The world spun around in his eyes and the last thing he heard was Pai's worried yell;

"Commander!"

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

"Foolish brat." Eoin almost smirked as he reached next to Kish to remove the sword which was draining Kish's life power.

"Can't have you dying before you revenge your fiancée, now can we?" Eoin talked silently to himself as he wrapped the sword carefully into his cape, careful not to touch the object.

"What are you doing to him?" He turned around to look at the mortal who was kneeling on the roof. His brow twisted in irritation.

Hadn't I killed that annoying pink-haired girl already?

"Oh, just making sure he won't die on me before the showdown." Eoin answered, his long green hair dancing in the wind as he cackled devilishly. Ichigo shivered.

Eoin turned to Pai.

"Oh, and tell my dear…" Eoin stopped, as if searching for a good word. "… Avenger that I can't wait to see him…

"Well, got to run. Places to be, people to do, beasts to free and evil plans to plot. You know the usual. We'll meet again, I'm sure." And with that said, Eoin teleported, leaving the mew mews, Keiichiro, Ryo and the aliens to look at the unconscious Kish and the place where Eoin had suddenly appeared (and disappeared) in.

EPILOGUE; The aftermatch

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

Kish opened his eyes carefully. He waited for them to adjust to the bright light. He looked around and noticed he was in a small room. He was lying on soft bed, with a nightstand beside it, facing a big window. He looked at the last rays of sun as they shone on the wall on his left, painting the normally pink walls with orange.

Earth

'You always had the capability to hurt the people around you.'

Kish closed his eyes as the memories surfaced back. Memories he had long ago buried.

"Kish?" Kish turned his head and opened his amber eyes to look at Ichigo. She was standing in the doorway of the room. She hesitantly stepped inside, closing the door after her. She was wearing a pair of jeans shorts and a white shirt, her blonde hair up with black bows.

It seemed so surreal. The last time they had talked she had yelled at him, calling him something inhuman. The last time they had talked without pain or distractions, anyhow.

Kish didn't think he had ever seen her look as colourless as she did now. Not even the orange light seeping from the window seemed to bring colour on her pale cheeks, her withdrawn eyes.

"Yes?" Kish asked, looking at Ichigo. Ichigo bit her lip.

"Um…Do you need anything?" Her eyes darted around the carpet, trying to look at anything other than Kish.

"Where am I?" Kish voice ended up sounding slightly clipped and he tried not to flinch.

"Um… You're at my house." Ichigo said, her voice quiet, playing with the hem of her shirt. "…Pai and Tartelett had to take care of the business of Deep Blue… Meet with... meet with the council. They had no time to take care of you and so I… I offered to do that." She ended her voice dying, her movements with her shirt becoming fretting and more nervous.

"Ah. Right. That explains the pink walls." Kish said turning his gaze to the ceiling as Ichigo deemed it best to avoid his gaze. It took Kish a moment to realize why Ichigo's gaze was slightly questioning, even though it wasn't directed at him.

"And no. I don't need anything. You can go now." Kish said, his emotionless words making Ichigo flinch.

"Kish, I-I… I…" Ichigo started, trying to force herself to speak.

"Well? Spit it out!" Kish spoke harshly, his eyes full of hurt and rage. Ichigo looked at Kish in despair.

Oh gods. I never meant to hurt him. I never meant to hurt him. Whatever hope I had that he would forgive me is really gone.

"I love you!" Ichigo snapped, her fist clenched tightly. She was grateful her parents weren't home, but in work instead. It hadn't been easy to sneak Kish into her room without them realizing. But after the huge battle with Eoin Kish had luckily slept calmly for two days. Ichigo had been worried first, but then had realized the boy needed his sleep.

Kish looked at Ichigo in shock. His eyes seemed to drain from emotion, gaining a glazed glint.

"Oh. I must have missed that somehow, somewhere along the way when you called me disgusting." Ichigo's eyes widened in horror and she lunged herself on Kish, hugging him tightly. Kish didn't protest but didn't hug her back either.

"Oh god's, I never meant what I said! It took so long time for me to realize this, but I love you!" Ichigo raised her eyes to look into his, hope shining in her eyes.

"Maybe this was a mistake. Falling in love with you. I mean, we surely seem to hurt each other all the time, don't we? You had my trust, Ichigo. But then you broke it. And I'm not sure that is something you can fix with superglue."

"I know… I know that. But please! Let me try! I care so much for you… Don't you care for me…?" Ichigo was crying by now, and she captured Kish's lips with his own. He instantly reacted, kissing back. He bit Ichigo's lower lip gently, making the girl gasp. He used the opportunity put his tongue into Ichigo's mouth, trying to paint the taste of her, the feel of her into his memory.

Something to remember on the cold nights when I am going to regret this from the bottom of my heart.

Ichigo was gasping out of breath when they separated. Something was different with the kiss, she could tell. She raised her crimson eyes to lock with the amber ones.

"So what do you say?" She asked her voice low and dry. He looked at her sadly, before letting her go and climbing out of the bed. The room was silent as he walked to the chair where his clothes were lying on.

They were silent for a long time, and after Kish had dressed properly, he turned to her again. She was sitting sprawled on the bed, her fingers caressing the blanket, her gaze locking into his.

God's she looks so beautiful.

Kish concentrated on the way her hair gleamed on the sun, the way her eyes seemed almost know what was to come, and the way her soft lips were swollen from their hurried passionate kiss.

"We keep hurting each other." Kish turned to the window, and climbed to sit on the window sill, preparing to jump off.

"And I think I just might love you enough to let you go."

And with that, he was gone.

A/N: Oh my god! I can't believe it's finally done! Yay! Thanks for waiting patiently for the updates and fro not scolding me too badly for my grammar. I'm sure the text is full of mistake, and I apologise for that. Maybe sometime later when I have time I'll rewrite it, who knows.

But as I don't have a beta yet, this will have to suffice. (of course if you are able and interested in being my BETA reader and editor, please contact me, I'd be happy for the help!)

Well, I can't promise the last part in my Tokyo mew mew trilogue will be done any time soon, but I got some plans done already. I'll try to attack that as soon as I've had some to work on my other fic's.

So check out my profile and look for 'The end of his world' (that is what the third part will be called) To see if I have posted the sequel!
