Hello people, yes I too am sad from the last chapter but don't worry! Just try to keep yourself together as you read through this chapter! Here's some tissues for you if you want them...

Ichigo felt herself torn when Kisshu turned around and stabbed himself, as the blood ran down her eyes widened.

"Kisshu!" Taruto cried from behind.

"No..." Pai murmured.

After a moment Kisshu fell backwards, Ichigo instantly ran forward and kneeled over him to just see his eyes shutting.

"Kisshu..." she whispered feeling tears falling down her face, "Kisshu!" she cried.

Taruto suddenly came and sat down besides Kisshu aswell, "No it can't be!" he cried.

Pai remained where he was staring sadly at his fallen friend; although he wished to go forward he remained where he was. One of them had to hold it together...

"You baka!" Ichigo shouted, "Why did you do that! Baka! Baka! Baka..." she said.

Taruto too was crying and out of sadness looked in another direction as he continued to cry.

Suddenly the locket around Ichigo's neck began to glow; as she looked at it she was shocked to see it suddenly fall from her neck and land on the ground. The sound of it hitting the ground echoed all around, a second after it disappeared into dust. Now that the owner of the locket was dead, there was no need for it to exist any more.

"It seems the contract is broken." Pai stated.

Instead of being happy Ichigo was even sadder as this proved that Kisshu was now dead, "Why..." she murmured, "Why did you do this for me!" she shouted resting her head on a part of his stomach which was less bloody. She didn't take any notice of the blood on her hands and body, or the parts getting in her hair. All that mattered was the dead alien before her.

As she cried she thought back to all the times she had been with Kisshu, she even remembered the first time he had met her and kissed her. Right now she didn't even care he had stolen her first kiss, she wasn't mad at him for anything he had done to her. If anything, she wanted him to do those things to her again... at least he would be alive...

"Ichigo..."

Ichigo looked up to see Pai walking forwards her, "I think it's time I told you the end of the story of the broken contract."

Taruto turned around to listen aswell; however tears were still rolling down his cheeks.

"The end of the story..." Ichigo whispered faintly.

Pai nodded, "Please listen, it's important."

Ichigo wiped away the tears from her eyes and nodded weakly, "Go on, I'm listening."

Well once Kazuto had killed himself, Ayaka meanwhile who was with her fiancée was shocked when the locket suddenly fell and disappeared. Knowing something had happened to Kazuto she ran out and searched all over, when she eventually found him dead. She leant next to him and realised how much she loved him, after kissing him her love saved him and he awoke. Although she loved her fiancée, she knew she could never love him in the way she did for Kazuto. And so they lived together and later in their life married one another with both of them doing it willingly...

Ichigo stared in shock and looked at the lifeless Kisshu before her, "What are you saying?" she murmured.

"I'm saying—"

"Ichigo!"

Ichigo and the two aliens turned to the voice to see all the mews stood there and looking at them.

Ichigo stood up, "What are you doing here?"

"We came to look for you." Mint replied.

"Kisshu dead!" Pudding exclaimed.

All the mews realised too and stared.

"What happened?" Lettuce asked.

"He killed himself to get Ichigo out of the contract." Pie replied.

"He did that for Ichigo?" Zakuro asked.

As Pai turned back around the mews ran forward next to her.

"I was just telling her what she could do to save him..."

"Ichigo can do that?" Mint asked.

Pai nodded, "Ichigo..."

Ichigo stared and listened more than she ever had.

"Please... I ask you here to think of your feelings for Kisshu and be honest with yourself. How do you really think of him? Please don't say what you think you should say, answer what you yourself believe."

Ichigo nodded and looked back at the lifeless Kisshu on the floor.

-X-

As she looked away Pai now knew that this was an important time, the reason he had kept the ending from Kisshu was that if this was a repeat of then, he would have killed himself without a second thought it thinking Ichigo would revive him. But... if these events were merely a similiarity then even if did Ichigo love him she wouldn't be able to bring him back to life. He would remain dead forever...

-X

As Ichigo knelt on the floor next to him flashbacks of when she had been with Kisshu flew through her mind...

"Hello kitten... ah I see my kiss was that good was it... just admiring you is all... you are my kitten... see you later Ichigo!"

Many other memories and thoughts went through her and she felt tears starting to fall from her face again.

As she thought to how she thought of Kisshu and what she felt whenever she thought of him she realised her feelings, suddenly Masaya entered her mind and that made her even more certain of her feelings for him compared to Masaya. Leaning forward she whispered into his ear...

"Kisshu... I'm sorry to say this now but..." she paused and felt another tear fall from her face, "Kisshu, I...
