Chapter 6 Kishu's Plan

Kishu and Tart weren't far from the shop when they heard cries for help, he recognised that voice, but placing it was difficult.

"Hey, do you here that, Tart?" He asked. Tart listened carefully then nodded.

"Should we check it out?"

"Let's,"

They both ran to the source of cries for help and who did they find other than the prat that had been causing Ichigo grief.

"Tart, go back to the café and get Ryou."

When Tart ran off in the direction of the café Kishu crept up behind Aoyama, who now had Ichigo pinned to a wall, a hand around her throat. He was threatening to strangle her if she didn't follow his orders and Kishu wasn't about to let him get away without at least a deep cut. He growled as his anger grew and he grabbed Aoyama around the throat and tightened his grip automatically, this made Aoyama's hand leave Ichigo's neck. When he began to gasp for air, Kishu smirked a little and pulled him closer to his face.

"How does it feel when you have someone holding your neck? Do you not like it, moron?" Kishu asked while throwing him to the ground, taking a stand in front of the red haired girl, who'd sank to her knees and had began to cry a lot harder than what she had been doing.

"Ichigo!" Ryou's voice came from the corner; he'd arrived with Tart after being on his way to the shop himself. Kishu's head turned towards the girl on the floor, his eyes hardening a little he hated to see her unhappy, he hated to see her crying and it made him angrier when someone was trying to kill her. He turned back to Aoyama, who had now stood clutching at his neck still gasping for air. Ryou however didn't let him stand for much longer, he'd sank his fist into the side of his cheek and made him smack off a wall. He'd then grabbed the collar of Aoyama's shirt and held him firmly against it, his free hand pinning his other hand incase he tried anything.

"If you EVER come near her again you bastard then you'll get a lot more than what I just done! Got that?" Ryou hissed at him. Aoyama looked terrified at this point simply nodded and ran off; he was most likely to have a good bruise on his face in the morning.

'I won't let you get away with this Ichigo…' He thought as he disappeared from their view.

Ryou looked back to Ichigo, she looked a mess, her hair was here and there, and her top was ripped as well as her skirt. Her face was dirty from where she'd fallen. He was hoping that Kiwi was still back at the café she said she'd help Keiichiro for a while. He looked up at Kishu and Tart.

"You two should go get the stuff that Keiichiro asked for then come back to the Café, I'll take Ichigo there."

"Right," They replied and walked off, Ryou scooped up the still sobbing girl in his arms and carried her back to the café.

Meanwhile in the shop Kishu's expression still hadn't changed he still felt that anger inside of him, then again who wouldn't still have anger in them after that? Tart looked at him with a bit of concern, when he saw Kishu this angry there was no telling in what he was thinking or what he would do.

"Kishu?"

"I'm fine." Yep things looked bad, especially if Kishu was to answer him straight away.

'I'll make sure that, that bastard doesn't lay his hands on her again. But how to do it without causing a suspicious scene with the humans, especially those police people I've heard about.' He thought while checking off the last item that was required on the list.

"Ne we should hurry and check if Ichigo's ok while she's still there." Kishu said as they walked out the shop heading towards the café up the road.

Back at the café Ryou, Keiichiro, Pai and Kiwi were attending to Ichigo's wounds, they hadn't noticed the actual damage that Aoyama had caused to her arms mainly. If Kishu were here right no- mistake, now that he was here he'd see the wounds and no doubt would get extremely pissed and hunt Aoyama down and kill him. Which wasn't all that bad by Ryou's standards nor Pai's they'd gladly help him out.

"Quick, pass me more bandages." Kiwi said as she managed to stop a lot of the bleeding from one of the wounds, luckily she knew her first aid as well as Keiichiro did.

"Ne I'd set up the guest room, Ryou. I don't think Ichigo's going to be going anywhere soon. I'll call her parents and tell her that she's spending the night at Kiwi's." Keiichiro said standing up and walking away. Ryou went to set up the guest room they had while Pai and Kiwi cleared up the rest of the smaller cuts and scratches. Kishu's face went emotionless, he could tell just from the amount of plasters and bandages that were on her, that she wasn't in a good way, how he'd kill that bastard if he saw him again. He knew it was time to start planning that plan that he had thought of earlier properly, but he would need the help to do it, and the boys were the only ones he'd want to help. He didn't want to drag the girls into the plan at all, he didn't want to see them hurt and he didn't want Ichigo to join in on it either. He turned to look down at Tart, his eyes clouded over with hidden anger.

"Tart, go put that stuff away in the kitchen I need to talk to Ryou," he said now making his way upstairs into the room that Ryou was preparing for Ichigo, he made himself known to the blonde boy by knocking on the door lightly.

"Kishu, what's the matter?" Ryou asked as he glanced to him while putting on some covers for the bed.

"Ichigo. I can't seem to let the urge of wanting to kill Aoyama go, it's driving me nuts, and I've been thinking for a little while now. What if we got rid of him, for good?"

"You mean…Kill him off?"

"Exactly what I mean. But I can't really figure out a good way of doing it, you know…" Kishu sighed.

"I know how you feel, I'm wanting to hunt that moron down and finish what I had started earlier."

"Same here, I can't believe you let him run." Kishu said, his yellow orbs now motioning in Ryou's direction.

"Ichigo is more important, it was better to get her seen to rather than deal with that idiot at the time."

"I see, well. I'll think more on that plan, because I'll make it go ahead if it's absolutely necessary to do so…"

"You can count me in already, Kishu."

"I was hoping you'd agree to it. I'll see you later on then."

"Yeah, night."

The others had finished taking care of Ichigo's wounds, she was now sleeping, it seemed she had cried herself to sleep. Pai, Tart and Kishu left the café and had gone home they'd no doubt be in the middle of discussing the plan that Kishu had very soon. Keiichiro watched Kiwi and Ichigo from where he stood, Kiwi looked like she was about to drop off on the spot, and why did he think that was cute? He walked across to them and knelt on one knee beside Kiwi and gently shook her shoulder, waking her up fully.

"Nyeh? Oh, Kei…uh, Akasaka-san?" She said tiredly yet going a little red in the face from addressing him wrong.

"Ne, call me Keiichiro if you want to. Are you wanting to spend the night here and help Ryou look after Ichigo? I don't think he'd manage on his own somehow."

"Uh, sure…yeah."

Keiichiro headed towards the stairs, Kiwi decided to take Ichigo upstairs with her and so picked her up and carried her to the room placing her on the bed. She had been given a spare cover and slept on the floor. Tomorrow everyone hoped that Ichigo would wake up and be alright.
