I do not own Tokyo Mew Mew

Well, this is the last chapter.


Kish told Ichigo the entire story of what he did for the past few days. He didn't leave a single detail out, wanting her to know his thoughts and suspicions. When he was done talking, he let go of Ichigo and then walked over to the window to stare out of it. The sun was shining, but it seemed like a dark day in Kish's eyes.

Ichigo was silent the entire time, taking everything in and then considering the possible reasons. Kish leaned his face against the window glass and shut his eyes. After a minute, he had the courage to turn around and look at Ichigo. She was deep in thought, obviously still thinking about the story.

"I'm so sorry Ichigo..." Kish said, looking at his feet in defeat. "You know that normally I would jump at the chance to take you away from this planet and go somewhere else where you can be safe."

Ichigo looked up and asked softly, "Then why didn't you?"

Kish breathed in deeply and then said softly, "If I did, I would never forgive myself for tricking you into loving me. I would rather suffer a thousand deaths, tear out my own heart, and be tortured for the rest of eternity, then to make you mine through unfair means."

Ichigo smiled and shook her head sadly. "Kish, I think you are crazy."

"Crazy for what?" Kish asked, puzzled.

Ichigo struggled for a second and broke free of her bonds. She walked over to a shocked Kish and gently kissed him on his forehead. "Your crazy because you didn't get your facts straight."

Kish looked confused, so Ichigo continued to explain. "You see, I knew you saved me when the news came on while I was at work. Some news man videotaped the entire thing." Kish didn't remember whether or not he saw anyone else when the car had tried to run over Ichigo, but then again he hadn't been paying much attention to anything but the car at that moment.

"But, that still doesn't explain..." Kish began before Ichigo held up a finger to his lips.

"I felt hurt when Masaya told me the his first priority was the earth, but I think that was just me being selfish. He did say that he loved me more then the earth, so I guess that threw me for a loop." Ichigo paused for a moment, and then said, "I know that Masaya is the blue knight, his alternate form who was born to protect me with his life." Ichigo watched Kish's expression go blank with confusion.

"You mean..." Kish began before Ichigo silenced him again.

"The blue knight will always be there to protect me. I'm grateful, but I honestly don't know whether he loves me, or if he is nothing more then Masaya's desire to protect me." Ichigo said, looking outside. She smiled as some birds started to fly around the tree.

Kish's body started to shake as he tried to prevent himself from crying in happiness. "So, you mean I didn't control your thoughts?" Kish asked happily, feeling a huge weight lift from his shoulders.

"Nope, it was all a big misunderstanding." Ichigo said, smiling. Kish suddenly became very suspicious.

Kish was happy, but for some reason he felt cold. "What aren't you telling me...kitten?" Kish asked, lightly using his hand to force her to look at him.

"What do you mean?" Ichgio asked nervously, trying to look away from Kish.

"Your keeping something from me." Kish accused, eyes slightly narrowing as he noticed that Ichigo was trying to bring her hand up. Kish instantly caught the hand and eyed it for a minute. She was holding a knife.

"Ichigo...what do you think you are doing?" Kish asked, taking the knife away from her.

Ichigo looked ashamed but then said with anger, "I want to know something right now!"

Kish said in an emotionless tone, "You want to talk with the blue knight, don't you?" He broke the knife and let it fall to the ground.

Ichigo shook her head in a yes, causing Kish to sigh. "He said it was my duty to protect you. I may hate him more then anything else, but I do think I owe him something for saving your life." Kish said, thinking.

"I don't care Kish!" Ichigo yelled. "I want to talk with him right now!"

Kish looked at Ichigo and said in a sad voice, "Ok...Ichigo. I will attack you, if it will bring him here." Kish didn't look at her as he summoned his psi swords and prepared to attack.

Ichigo took a few steps back and prepared to be attacked. "I'm sorry kitten!" Kish screamed out as he attacked. He was thrown backwards as the blue knight busted through the window and repelled Kish's attack.

"You shall not harm Ichigo." the blue knight said calmly, pointing his sword at Kish. Kish didn't do anything; instead, he dropped his swords and fell to his knees. Ichigo tapped on the knight's shoulder.

The blue knight kept his sword pointed at Kish, but he turned his head so he could look at Ichigo. "Are you alright Ichigo?" he asked her, checking for blood on her cloths.

"No, I'm not!" Ichigo said angerly, pointing at the knight. "Do you love me?" She demanded, causing the blue knight to smile.

The blue knight put up his sword as he realized it was all a staged fight. "I do not love you the way you think I do." The knight said calmly, not expression any emotion.

"But, why do you...?" Ichgigo began as the blue knight shook his head.

"Believe it or not, I was brought into this world to protect you. Would you do no less for your own parents?" The blue knight asked gently, bringing a slight nod from Ichigo. "I love you, not the way that a man and woman does, but rather the way a child loves their parents." With that, the blue knight turned around and jumped through the window. Ichigo fell to her knees and started to cry as confusion went through her.

Kish moved his knees and sorta slide over to where Ichigo was. He reached around her and hugged her with the love and passion she desperately needed. Without hesitation, Ichigo reached around Kish and hugged him back with equal love. "If you want love, then you can always turn to me kitten." Kish said softly in Ichigo's ear. She didn't say anything, instead moving her head and kissing Kish with a uncertain passion. Kish chuckled slightly and then proved his words by kissing with such a passion that it literally took away Ichigo's breath.
