Mew Mint's shoulders shook as she began to cry. She gently let go of Ryou's hand, which dropped back to his side. Mint just stood there, the tears pouring down her face still trying to get over the fact that one of her best friends and her boss where pinned to a wall, dead. What was working in the café going to be like now? There was going to be no one to yell to get her afternoon tea, and no one would yell at her now for lazing around, watching everyone else work. Mint realised that it wasn't just her sobs that were breaking the silence. She turned round and saw that Pudding and Lettuce were crying hard, Pudding surprisingly enough, had buried her head into Tart, and he was comforting her, tears evident in his eyes too. There were also tears running down Kish's face, and Zakuro's and Pai's as well. Keiichiro was just standing there, not believing that the guy he had looked after as a brother was now dead, it didn't make sense. As Mint looked at everybody, one part of her was happy that at least everybody was mourning for them, that everybody missed them. She finally faced Dark Blue, and although tears were still going down her face, anger had merged with sadness and had become fury.

"You killed them!" Mint finally managed to speak.

"You don't say! Well as you all seem to be missing them so much, I'll send you ALL to where they are!" Deep Blue swung his sword once more, this time towards Mint. The sword came closer and closer towards her, but Mint didn't move. Just as the sword was about to cut through her chest, Mint jumped and fired her Ribbon Mint Echo at Deep Blue. It was if time had slowed down. The Mew Mews, Keiichiro and the Aliens watched with their hearts in their mouths as Mint fired her attack, and then as it speed towards Deep Blue. And this time it was too late, he couldn't dodge out of the way.

Deep Blue yelled with pain as the arrow hit him. He doubled over for a moment and then looked back up, all traces of humour gone from his eyes, leaving only clear hatred. Hatred for all humans, especially the Mew Mews.

Once again, he pulled his sword and was about to throw it at Mint, when something came flying at him and rugby tackled him to floor. It was Tart. Tart quickly pinned Deep Blue to the floor (well pinned him as best as an incredibly small alien can). He struggled as Deep Blue began to fight back and then turned his head to face everyone else.

"Come on! Fire at him already, I can't keep this up for much longer!"

At his words everyone seemed to spring into action. The Mew Mews fired their attacks, Kish threw his swords at Deep Blue and Pai fired the attack his fan used. Keiichiro just moved to one side.

Tart looked into the older alien/human's eyes. He bent low so only Deep Blue could here what he said.

"This is for making our people believe that something still belonged to us when we had thrown it away years before and disowned it. This also for killing two humans, and making the one I care most about cry!" he raised his hand and then punched Deep Blue's nose. The punch, small and weak as it was (Tart's only young and doesn't usually fight people hand-to-hand) was enough to finally kill Deep Blue.

With his last breath Deep Blue looked over at where Ichigo and Ryou were looking at each other.

"Damn you and your descendents to hell and beyond, Momomiya Ichigo! One day you will be mine and he'll be dead at our feet!" he muttered and closed his eyes.

Everyone stood looking at Deep Blue's body, tears appearing once more realising that Ryou and Ichigo aren't alive to see their biggest dream carried out – the end of the Kirema Animas (A/N: That's how it's spelt – so please don't yell at us for spelling it wrong! (Ducks under table)).

Pudding reached out to touch Deep Blue's body, maybe to check to herself that he was really dead, no one really knew why. But at her touch, the body started to disintegrate and disappear.

"Finally, I can breathe properly again, Ryou, you okay?" A voice came behind them. It was a well-known voice, but the owner of it had more tenderness in the last three words than she usually did.

Zakuro looked round and laughed. "You're…alive!"

Ichigo nodded. "When Pudding touched Deep Blue's it got rid of his body, and all the things he did to us, including killing us both." She leaned back into Ryou's arms. Zakuro smiled happily. She was glad Ichigo and Ryou finally got together.

Everyone was busy talking and laughing over the fact that Ichigo and Ryou were alive and they were together, apart from two people. Lettuce turned round from where she had been looking at the wall, flashed a watery smile at the happy couple and quickly ran outside, where she bumped into Kish. He took one look at her and gave her a hug.

"You're trying to get over it to aren't you?" he whispered into her hair. Lettuce sniffed.

"Yeah, I'll never be with him now, but he's happy so it's ok, I guess." She cautiously put her arms around him, and couldn't smile when he leaned into her embrace instead of pushing her away.

"And I don't think I really mind that much now anyway…" she continued.

"No, neither." He said gently kissing her forehead.

Zakuro was changing into her Café Mew Mew uniform and dreaming about a certain chef when she heard someone say her name.

"Zakuro," she turned round to face Ichigo.

"Shouldn't you tell Akasaka-san that you like him now? I think he likes you too, he's been staring recently." As Ichigo spoke, Zakuro had continually gotten redder and redder.

"And…" Ichigo gave her final reason, "That's the reason you came round that night, right? You wanted to tell Akasaka-san that you liked him but you wanted some company!" It was impossible now for Zakuro's face to get any redder. She nodded in reply to Ichigo's question, then immediately wished she hadn't as Ichigo began pulling her towards the door to the Café- and Akasaka-san.
