The Battle Within

"Aoyama, please. Don't make me do this…" Ichigo pleaded with tears in her eyes.

"If I can't have you, NOBODY CAN!"

"S-s-trawberub-beru. R-ribbon heart-t st-t-taf-f-f. Ribbon Heart B-b-b……." Ichigo lowered her weapon. She kneeled down to the floor, "N-n-nooo, I c-c-cant't-t"


"Ichigo, what gave you the idea to take me to this Red Data Animals Exhibition?"

"Oh…I did a research of all the things you…I mean….It's our job to protect the earth right?"

"You're absolutely right," He smiled


"Ichigo?"

"Oh no! He's discovered my secret identity!"

"I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else. Such a striking resemblance…"

"It's ok…" I smiled secretly, we could still be together after all.


"I'm sorry, Ichigo. I've always known that you were a Mew Mew. It's ok if you don't want me too, though. I'll just pretend that I never did."

He hugged me tightly, "If you don't mind, It'll be a secret between us. This way, no one will know, no one will find out either,"

"Oh, Aoyama. I love you, so very much," I smiled as he embraced me tighter."


"I said, LET HER GO!"

A light glow emitted from him and totally engulfed him. When he reappeared, there stood the Blue Knight in his place.

Aoyama is the Blue Knight!


"Argh!" I was so happy that I nearly fell over. Fortunately, Aoyama, or The Blue knight, grabbed me in time.

"You're still so clumsy as a Mew Mew, Ichigo." I blushed as the rest of my teammates giggled slightly.


"N-no, I c-can't do this…"

Ichigo, get a grip! You've battled Aoyama before.

The corners of Ichigo's mouth twitched, "I'm beginning to sound like Mint."

No time to joke around, Ichigo. Aoyama, Your teammates and especially, Ryou, are counting on you. You can't let them down.

"Ryou…" She whispered softly as she turned towards his body, lying motionless on the ground.

So, Ichigo, What are you going to do?

"What am I going to do…."

Think carefully before you decide, Ichigo…

"I'm going to fight, even if my opponent is Aoyama," she stood up slowly.

My work here is done, the rest is up to you, Ichigo……

"Get ready, Aoyama. I won't go easy on you,"

"At last, some action. Let's see what you are capable of, Kitty," Hovering near the ceiling of Café Mew Mew, Nushka smirked.
