I do not own Tokyo Mew Mew


Kish was now sitting on top of a tall skyscraper. He looked at his hands, which were shaking. Sighing, Kish looked up into the night sky and thought about Ichigo. He still remembered the shattered look on her face when he backed away and teleported away. It absolutely tore his heart into thousands of pieces remembering that look, but he didn't want the guilt of forcing her to love him on his conscience.

Kish closed his eyes and breathed in slowly. What to do, what to do... Kish thought. He stopped breathing as he realized something. Ichigo hadn't seemed grateful when she was about to kiss him. There was a different look on her face. Kish opened his eyes and then started to breath again.

What was that look?Kish thought, starting to get puzzled. Shaking his head, he got up and dusted off his pants. Believe it or not, the tops of skyscrapers are actually dusty. Looking around, Kish jumped off the building and went into a nose dive for the ground. Opening a teleporting ripple in the air, he teleported just as he was about to hit the ground. He appeared a few seconds later in the park.

A cold sensation went through Kish. "What the hell..." Kish said, shivering. A thought of Ichigo went through Kish's mind and suddenly Kish went cold. "ICHIGO!" Kish screamed, teleporting into Ichigo's room. She was lying on the bed, her sheets covered with blood.

Kish didn't do anything but the one thing that went though his mind. He threw back Ichigo's bed sheets and saw Ichigo's wrist cut deeply. Kish put his hand on Ichigo's neck, but didn't feel a pulse. "No damn it!" Kish cursed and then closed his eyes as tears started to form in them. "I'm too late!" Kish cried. Opening his eyes, he saw the blue knight standing there in the room. "What did you do!?!" Kish screamed, placing his body over Ichigos in a futile effort to protect her.

The blue knight didn't respond, his eyes on Ichigo. "Get away," the blue knight said softly. The way he said it made Kish obey. The blue knight walked over to Ichigo and breathed in deeply. He placed his hands on Ichigo's stomach and then began to chant. Kish had a universal translator that should have understood what he was saying, but even it couldn't understand what the blue knight was saying.

A blue light emitted from Ichigo, and suddenly Ichigo gasped in pain. Kish would have killed the knight for that gasp of pain, but a moment ago, she had been dead. Kish stood silently as Ichigo started to cry out as she started to come back to life. After five minutes, the blue knight took his hands off Ichigo and fell backwards with a weird expression of weariness on his face.

"She's alive..." the blue knight said, and then turned toward Kish. "I couldn't bring her back to full health though. She will need someone to nurse her back to health. I don't have any strength left in me. You will have to protect her for a little while. Is that clear?" The blue knight commanded, standing straight.

"Nothing will happen to her while I am here." Kish said, still in shock at the power the blue knight had.

The blue knight nodded and then jumped out the window. Kish came over to Ichigo, who was still crying. "The pain..." Ichigo cried, tears flowing freely from her eyes.

Kish felt a cold sensation go through him as he saw a bloody knife on the dresser. "Did you..." Kish started to say, then choked out, "did you try and kill yourself?"

Ichigo's eyes seemed unfocused, but they turned and seemed to focus on Kish. "Kish..." Ichigo said, trying to raise her head.

"Answer my question Ichigo." Kish said, tears flowing from his eyes.

"I was so sad...first Masaya, then you Kish..." Ichigo said, closing her eyes.

"No, damn it, answer the question!" Kish yelled, placing a hand on Ichigo's arm.

Ichigo flinched but then said in a low whisper, "yes."

Kish felt like he had been slapped across his face. "What, why?" Kish cried, tears falling on to Ichigo's face.

"Masaya...told me today that he could no longer be with me. He said that while he would always love me, earth was more important for the entire human race. Later, when I came into the park, I saw you on the tree. I needed someone to love me, but instead of giving me love, you said you couldn't take advantage of me." Ichigo said in a quiet voice.

Kish's felt a crushing force squeeze his heart. "But...but...why kill yourself?" Kish asked, turning and looking away from Ichigo.

"I...I felt so unloved, so betrayed, that I decided that the world would be better without me. Of course, when I tried to kill myself, the blue knight appeared and tried to stop me. Unfortunately for him, I was quicker then he was." Ichigo said, sounding almost disappointed.

"I know I cut a deep blood vain...how come I'm still alive?" Ichigo asked, looking at her arm. The cut was now gone, and there wasn't any scarring either.

"The blue knight...did something that I can't describe. He healed you, while all I could do is watch." Kish said, full of regret now.

Ichigo sighed and weakly tried to reach the knife. Kish carefully grabbed her hand and forced it back on the bed. "No, you will not try that again." Kish said, his eyes tearing at the pain on her face.

"Please, let me die!" Ichigo begged, attempting to grab the knife again. Kish grabbed the knife and then stabbed himself in the stomach. "Kish!" Ichigo screamed, sitting up and attempting to grab the knife from Kish.

Kish backed away from Ichigo and placed his back against the wall. "You know now how I feel...." Kish said with a smile, holding the knife up. He had only lightly punctured the skin on his stomach, making it bleed but not doing any actual damage.

Ichigo let out a sigh and fell on her bed, totally exhausted from being brought back to life and then panicking about Kish. Kish walked over and looked at Ichigo as she slumbered. "I swear to you kitten." Kish said, stroking her hair. "I will help you get better." With that, Kish walked over to the corner of the room, sat down, and watched Ichigo sleep through the night.
