I do not own Tokyo Mew Mew.
Kish sat by Ichigo, watching her sleep. A few times, she rolled around and groaned as her leg muscles cramped up. Kish frowned and shook his head in amazement. "Never did I think that I would have to resort to torture to get her to be mine," Kish said softly, noticing for the first time how much sweat was on her face.
"I wonder if maybe that helped with it…" Kish murmured as he put one hand on her shoulder and felt how her skin was chilled. "So…a few factors helped me today," Kish softly said, his voice no more then a whisper. "First, she was tired from fighting the chimera animas, and then she was forced to stand for a long time. All during that, she was sweating, leading to dehydration and finally cramps that might have pushed her beyond normal pain limits." It worried Kish that she would die if she didn't get something to drink soon.
Kish sighed and stood up as he looked around. "Well, if you don't get anything to drink soon, you might…" Kish began to say before shaking his head. "I'll just get you some water." Kish walked over to a pond and filled a canteen with water. Smelling the water, Kish laughed and said, "This is the perfect type of water for Ichigo. It's pure, clean, and good smelling."
Kish took a sip of the canteen and let out a groan of pleasure. "Great tasting as well…this should ease some of the discomfort Ichigo probably will be feeling," Kish wondered as he got up and walked back to Ichigo, whose face was damp from the amount of sweat she had.
Kish gently tilted Ichigo's head up and put the canteen to her lips. Ichigo's instinctive need for water made her drink greedily from the canteen for a few seconds before draining it. She then coughed for a minute. "You're a greedy little kitten aren't you?" Kish asked teasingly as Ichigo's eyes blinked open and a groan escaped her lips.
"What…where am I?" Ichigo asked herself out loud, a dazed look in her eyes.
After looking around for a half of a minute, Ichigo's eyes narrowed as they focused on Kish's smiling face. "Kish?" Ichigo asked and immediately tried to back away, only to collapse and cry out in pain.
"Muscles sore and cramped from both physical exertion and lack of adequate water supply, eh Ichigo?" Kish said smugly, an evil grin on his face. It actually didn't make him happy to see her in such pain, but the end result would more then make up for it in his mind.
"Kish, go away!" Ichigo cried out as tears started to form in her eyes. Kish ignored the plea and moved closer to her.
"You can't stop me now Ichigo. Not only did you say that you were mine, you also have no strength to stop me from kissing you either," Kish said before kissing her on the lips. She tried to struggle, but she just didn't have the ability to do anything.
Kish backed away after a few seconds and licked his lips. "Strawberry, with a hint of salt," Kish said, his eyes glittering with open lust.
"No…" Ichigo began to say fearfully as Kish came forward again and kissed her furiously. Time and time again, Kish kissed her for a few seconds before retreating and then going in again. This lasted until the sunrise came up, and even then Kish only reluctantly stopped the frenzy.
By that time, Ichigo was so dazed with lack of air that all she did was pant for breath. Kish sat with his back against a tree, his desire unquenched. He wanted more, but it didn't take a genius to figure out that the other mews would soon be coming for Ichigo when they realized that she never returned from her patrol.
"Well, let's go Ichigo," Kish said with a laugh, his thoughts on what they would be doing soon…alone.
Ichigo shook her head no, gritting her teeth in determination and also in pain. "Ichigo…you said you were mine, so now come on!" Kish said with slight anger, grabbing one of the arms and starting to float into the air. Ichigo let out a gasp of pain as she found some hidden reserve of strength and broke free of Kish and started to wobble away.
Kish watched with amusement as she stumbled over to a tree and sat down with her back against it. Shaking his head, he had to give credit to Ichigo…she was one tough girl. "Ichigo, stop making this harder then it needs to be and just come with me." Kish said gently, one hand extended to help her up. She gritted her teeth as she defiantly slapped it away.
Kish leaned forward and grabbed Ichigo's cat tail. Ichigo let out a terrible shriek and tried to make Kish let go, but he tightened his grip. "No, please no…" Ichigo begged as the pain intensified. She fell down so she was now lying on her stomach. Kish smiled slightly and pulled her tail up, causing Ichigo to nearly lose consciousness from the pain.
"If I had known that your tail was so vulnerable, I would have just done this a long time ago," Kish wondered out loud as he squeezed the tail tighter.
"Kish…stop it, stop it, stop it!" Ichigo cried out, banging her fists on the ground as Kish stood above her, pulling her tail. Tears flowed freely from her eyes now, and Kish started to understand that this type of pain might actually kill her, but he continued to pull, slightly less hard as he said in a taunting voice, "Say you will go with me and that you belong to me only."
Ichigo pounded the ground with her fists as the pain intensified. "I'll go with you, but I do not belong to you!" Ichigo yelled with determination, only to be rewarded with another tug on her tail.
"Say it," Kish demanded, gripping her tail even tighter.
The pain…it was everything in the world at the moment to Ichigo. She didn't realize that Kish could hear her friends closing in on their location, or the fact that they were prepared to save her. "I…belong to you," Ichigo said in defeat, her broken spirit shattered possible beyond repair.
Kish smiled with triumph as the mew girls came into view. They ran at full speed towards Ichigo and Kish, but Kish had picked up Ichigo and teleported them away. "God damn it!" Zakuro snarled, her energy whip missing Kish by only a second.
Pudding looked at Mint with a worried look on her face as she asked, "Where did Kish take Ichigo?"
Mint looked at Pudding and sadly shook her head. "Ichigo…is now lost to us, possible forever," Mint said, tears forming in her eyes.
Zakuro started to curse, loud and uncaring to those around her. Lettuce was on her knees, her face covered with her hands. "Poor Ichigo…she looked terrible when I saw her. The broken look in her pain filled face…Kish did something unforgivable to her, I just know it. Why couldn't any of us get here fast enough to save her?"
Pudding started to cry as well, and now everyone except Zakuro hugged and cried. After a few more minutes of cursing, Zakuro calmed down enough to look around and study the situation. Finding a nearby security camera, she jumped to it and switched the wires so it was giving input to Ryou's computer. Because her phone could watch the screen on Ryou's computer, she took out a cell phone and watched with growing anger as the scene from last night played out across the screen. It showed how exhausted Ichigo was before Kish forced her to stand, and it continued to play until it showed Kish teleporting away.
"Damn that Kish," Zakuro muttered under her breath as she realized that Ichigo may never be returning to earth. "He's done it now…he actually broke Ichigo's spirit. That bastard shattered her spirit."
Mint looked up at Zakuro and asked softly, "Why did he do it?"
Zakuro shook her head, having no answers to give. "I will get revenge, I swear to you that Kish will be wishing he was dead before I get through with him…then that wish will come true." Zakuro said before turning around and walking away, the other mews following sadly behind.
Somewhere on Kish's ship…
Kish put Ichigo gently on the cold ground as he looked around. Pai stood a few feet away, his anger at Kish evident. "You dare bring that earth girl here Kish?" Pai said with a wave at Ichigo's still form. Ichigo sat there with a blank look on her face, and Kish could tell that he had gone over the top with her torture.
"Pai, help me heal her please," Kish begged, clasping his hands together and looking pitiful
Pai looked at Ichigo and said bluntly, "There is nothing I can do Kish. Whatever you did to her, it seemed to have a deep physiological impact on her. She may never return to normal Kish."
Kish gasped and grabbed Ichigo's shoulder as he yelled, "Ichigo, don't do this to me! Come back and love me, hate me, anything! Just return back to your normal self."
Ichigo's eyes slightly lifted to Kish's face, but her blank look remained on her face. "Wow Kish, what did you do to the old hag?" Taruto said, walking up behind Kish and watching with amusement at Kish's futile attempts to snap Ichigo back to normal.
"Ok Ichigo, I didn't want to have to do this to you, but here it goes," Kish said standing up, his hand going to the back of Ichigo's head and forcing her to stand. Taruto snorted and walked away with Pai, neither one of them caring at all about Ichigo.
Ichigo started to sit down, but Kish wouldn't let her. He took out a small piece of cake, and stuffed it in Ichigo's mouth. After a few minutes, Ichigo's eyes suddenly showed anger and she slapped Kish with an open hand across his face. Kish went flying away from her, four scratch marks on his cheek. Ichigo sat down and looked around, her eyes wide with fear. "Where am I?" she asked, her tail swishing left and right.
Ichigo's cat ears stood straight up as Kish said, "You are on my ship, and soon you will be marrying me."
Ichigo got to her feet slowly and yelled with her old anger, "I will not be marrying you today or anytime in the next eternity!"
Kish had to smile at how fast Ichigo's old spirit had returned. All it had taken was a little sweet food. "You not only said you were mine forever Ichigo, but you also said that you belong me, and to me alone." Kish said casually, his hand lifted to the cheek that had been scratched. The wound wasn't deep, but it did sting a little.
"Only after you tortured me!" Ichigo reminded him bitterly, her face full of anger.
Kish came forward and before Ichigo could back away, gave her a passionate kiss. He released the kiss after ten seconds and gently rested one of his hands on Ichigo's shoulder. "I love you Ichigo, but I couldn't do anything like get married until you gave me permission…which you did by saying you were mine and mine alone." Kish gently said, his hand traveling up the side of her face and coming to rest on her head. He then started to gently and carefully message her cat ears, causing the angry Ichigo to purr.
"You will love me Ichigo. I swear it to you; I will give you the ability to make your decision…but only after showing you my unreturned love." Kish said with determination, ignoring the fact that Ichigo wasn't listening to him but rather giving all her attention to Kish's message of her ear.
Kish stopped messaging the ear and stood up straight with a clap of his hand "Well, before we get to that business lets get you cleaned up. While I personally love the look of your clothes clinging to your body, it probable would be a good idea to take a bath." Kish said with a smile.
Ichigo nodded her head, her anger for the moment replaced with gratitude of getting a bath. Unfortunately for her, Kish wouldn't let her take a bath alone, so she had him sit with his head turned away as she got into the bath. She de-transformed and became normal Ichigo. Kish turned around as she slid into the water, and almost got hit in the head with a bar of soap for doing so. Kish remained turned with his face to the wall while Ichigo washed, a smile on his face.
I think I'll end this chapter there. I wonder what will happen next. Please review if you liked it or if you have some suggestions for it. Thanks!
