Chapter 8 Death

Ryou awoke to banging, and shouting from downstairs. He looked up at the clock, what the hell was going on at this time in the morning? The clock stated that it was about seven o'clock, the only ones that should be here were Keiichiro, Kiwi, Kishu, Pai,Ichigo and himself, and it was very highly unlikely that Keiichiro and Kiwi were arguing. Getting up he got freshened up and changed, then headed downstairs the voices were getting clearer as he went down. They were saying a name, but who's? Aoyama? He was fully awake now, he quickened his pace to the main part of the café. There stood Aoyama on his own trying to get his own way. He was claiming that he wanted to see Ichigo, that he was sorry for everything he'd done, it was all a dare? Kishu and Keiichiro were the ones who were raising their voices at the boy, Kiwi and Pai had to hold them back from lunging at him, even thought they didn't want to hold them back never mind not lunge at him themselves.

"LET ME SEE HER! I EVEN GOT RID OF THAT SLUT I WAS WITH TO GET ICHIGO BACK" Aoyama yelled.

"LIKE HELL WE'LL LET YOU SEE HER, YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING PIECE OF SCUM!" Kishu yelled back at him, desperately trying to get out of Pai's grip so he could rip the moron to shreds.

"SCUM! HAH LOOK WHO'S TALKING, YOU'RE LOWER THAN SCUM!"

"WHAT! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU, RETARD!"

"But Kishu, he'd make such a bloody mess. It'd be troublesome to clear it all up." Ryou said calmly but eerily from behind them. All heads turned to Ryou, they never expected him to look so calm, not when he wasn't that far from the twerp.

"I seriously think you better leave my café, Aoyama. You're not getting to see Ichigo. Period." He stated the look on Aoyama's face changed from anger to fury.

"SHE'S MY BITCH, NOT YOURS!" He screeched at the blonde haired boy, who continued to keep his anger at bay.

"She's nobodies bitch, she's not a dog. Now, get the hell out of here before I break you into tiny bits that people will mistake you for bug food. Do I make myself clear?" Ryou asked, his eyes now narrowing dangerously that put fear into Aoyama's very soul. He backed down and ran out the café swearing that he'd return to get Ichigo as he knew that she was now staying here. He'd been up to her house and her parents told him that she was staying with Kiwi for a while so she could keep her English skills up. After he left, Kishu and Keiichiro had cooled off.

"I got woken up by all this screaming, I'm surprised you didn't wake Ichigo up."

"Sorry about that Ryou." Keiichiro apologised to his friend.

"It's ok. You don't lose your cool that often. I don't blame you though. What happened?"

"Well, Aoyama had come in while Kiwi was setting the tables up. Kishu and Pai were in the changing rooms, I was in the kitchen doing what I usually do. I heard voices, and so I decided to investigate because I could hardly recognise the male voice that was conversing with Kiwi. When I went through he'd nearly gone for her and I stepped in at that point, that's when he began to say he wanted to apologise to Ichigo. It got out of hand from there and eventually Kishu and Pai came out of the rooms and helped out."

"I see. If that moron comes around later on, let him enter but only if he's going to act civilised." Ryou said.

"But how's he going to act that if he comes alone?" Kishu asked.

"Oh, I know he won't. What was that idea that you had a day ago?"

"Oh that, it was to get rid of him once and for all, we have it all set out incase we need to use it." He said, a small grin coming to his face.

"Good. If we can aggravate him badly that may result in him attacking us first, then we can get him where we want him. Do you see my plan?"

"Crystal clear." Pai replied. He got it anyway.

"Good, we'll close early, we don't want anyone else involved in Kishu's plan, we'll keep the girls here to keep an eye on Ichigo incase she wakes up and tries to do her usual and walk about."

"Got it."

"Alright, let's get ready for opening then." Ryou said as he turned and went upstairs to check on Ichigo, he was starting to worry that she was sleeping still, it'd been a day or two already. He opened the door and looked at her, she still looked pretty when she slept.

Finally, closing time, Aoyama still hadn't appeared to cause any trouble. The girls had all been told of the plan, and they somehow managed to convince themselves to agree to it.

The plan was to aggravate Aoyama to the point where he'd go for them, they'd deal with him and then Kishu would finish him off by teleporting him to an 'empty' space where he'd make Aoyama suffer and finish him. No one would be able to tell what had happened to him, so they weren't likely to be suspects of anything, not when the aliens were there to help with matters anyway.

The girls were up in the room, they'd got Ichigo changed into some other clothing, and had changed the bandages and plasters, they'd stay there and keep watch over her for as long as it took the others to do what they had to do.

A loud bang from downstairs let them know that a certain prat had finally showed up, this is where they knew things would get interesting.

"What do you want? We're closed, or have you gone blind to, Aoyama?" Kishu asked sarcastically.

"You should know what I'm here for!" He spat back, not scared of any of them.

"Hm, nope. You were told quite clearly that you weren't getting to see Ichigo sooooo I don't know what you could be after now." Kishu replied.

"You fucking moron, don't keep that sarcastic act up with me. Or you'll be sorry."

"Actually Aoyama," Pai said from behind the boy, making him jump nearly through the ceiling.

"The only one that is going to be sorry here, is you." Ryou finished appearing from the side.

"What are you talking about?" he asked irritated by him already.

"You know exactly what he means, moron." Keiichiro said in an extremely low voice that gave a hint of danger.

"For fuck sake, if you'd just let me see Ichigo and let me apologise to her then I wouldn't be standing here arguing with twats like you!" Aoyama shouted at them.

"We told you there wasn't a chance in hell that you were getting to see her. However if you think you can get to her, then try and get past us first." Kishu growled at him.

"Yeah? Are you challenging me you pointy-eared fucked in the head thing for a so called alien?"

"What kind of insult was that? I've heard better insults from plants!" Kishu retorted.

"Why you fucking son of a bitch!" That was it, Aoyama dashed at Kishu his fist ready to be thrown into his face, he'd connect he'd make damn sure it would. Wrong. Kishu was already at him and had punched him between the ribs, which could have seriously put him at deaths door, but no. Where was the fun in killing him with one blow? Aoyama now gasping for air on the floor struggled to get up and take another run at Kishu only to get floored by Tart who'd side kicked him in the head. He growled to himself, he wasn't going to give up, not now. He got up again and tried to run again this time at Keiichiro, he didn't think that he'd put up much of a fight, but he was so wrong.

Keiichiro had caught Aoyama's punch and twisted his arm so fast that all anyone heard was a snap before a yelling Aoyama, now squirming on the floor. All faces turned to Keiichiro for a moment in shock, Keiichiro just smiled innocently.

Pai didn't bother to do anything other than block the door incase he tried to escape. Ryou calmly walked up to the still squirming Aoyama and pulled him up towards him by the collar of his shirt before using his free hand to smack him really hard across the face. Blood started to show from Aoyama's mouth seconds after Ryou's impact, Aoyama was now sputtering blood as he desperately tried to get away from them.

Ryou wasn't done with this pathetic creature he saw before him however. He kicked him in the shins, nearly breaking Aoyama's leg with one kick. Aoyama was now screaming his lungs out. Begging for mercy, but were the boys about to show him any? Where they hell!

"Kishu, do it now." Ryou said to him, his anger now all out of him. He'd done quite a number on Aoyama, for if he was to live after what Kishu planned to do with him, then he'd be unrecognisable to anyone that he knew. Kishu's smirk grew into a deadly grin, he took hold of the boy and teleported of the area, into an empty space as planned, somewhere like they used to go when working for Deep-Blue. He threw him against some pointy rocks which resulted in a few crunches. Kishu took out his weapons and walked up to Aoyama with a dark look on his face.

"P-pleas-e, s-s-s-pa-re m-me…" Aoyama begged.

"Spare you? After what you done to my best friend who's now like a sister to me? I think not, you fucking creep. You don't deserve to live."

"I-i-m so-rr-y" He winced, in between gasps for air.

"You're what? Sorry… HAH, sorry but I don't believe you for a second. You're not sorry at all. You're not going to forget this for the last few minutes of your pathetic life and you'll not even forget this in the afterlife."

With that Kishu rammed both of the weapons into Aoyama, one through the throat that cut his screams of pain out instantly and one through his heart, killing him instantly.

Kishu cleaned off his weapons and returned back to the café, everyone was soon back to normal after he returned.

They heard clattering and banging from upstairs and looked at each other with a raised brow wondering what was going on. Suddenly Mint, Pudding and Lettuce had rushed downstairs, their eyes wide with what looked like fear.

"Shirogane-san, Akasaka-san! Come quickly!" Lettuce shouted,

"What is it? What's wrong?" Ryou asked raising his voice that showed concern.

"It's Ichigo shes…" Mint started her eyes beginning to get a little watery.
