Chapter 18~ A kiss in the dawn

Ayuta lifted her head up weakly and saw the blinding light coming tword her, it lit up all around the forest, all the mews horror stricken faces clear as day.

It seemed to move in slow motion again, Lettuce was screaming something at her, grabbing her wrist trying to pull her away, but Ayuta was to weak to move. Mint was running twords them, a determined glint in her eye. Ichigo had her hands over her mouth, eyes wide as she watched from next to Pudding, who was crying out something to. Ichigo grabbed Pudding and held her back as she screamed out and faught Ichigo. The light got closer, and so did Mint. Lettuce finally got up and started slow motion running twords the others, motioning with her hands to proable find cover.

Ayuta watched this whole scene unfold as she was still to weak to move. Mint screamed out and Ayuta read her slow motion lips.

"AAYYUUTTAA!" Then everything went back to normal, Mint racing twords her no more in slow motion, the beam's roar tearing into Ayuta's ears, the screams from Pudding and Lettuce trying to keep the child hidden behind a tree.

Ayuta suddently relized, she was staring death in the face. Again. She was quite irritated with these sudden death experences, she wished the gods would stop tourching her and put her out of her misery, but no. They played a sick and twisted game with her life. And the life of the one's around her. Never had she felt like she was finally settling into a family then when she was at the café, and even though she had spent, what? Two days there, she had had a connection with everyone. But the gods laughed at her hope, and placed the aliens in front of her.

Gods, what a ridiculous thing to think of. It was simply the aliens. They had good intentions, but were expressing them wrong. If they were to just compromise… we could all have a peacfull resolution.

But no. Nothing was ever…

"AYUTA!" Mint tackled Ayuta and Ayuta held onto Mint. "I wont let Zakuro's death go in vain!" She whispered, and the impact of the beam threw the intertwined mews up into the air, throwing them against a tree, Ayuta hitting the tree, Mint taking the full force of the beam. They slowly slid down and Ayuta groaned in pain and finally passed out.

…Nothing was ever that simple.

Kisshu held his sai's weakly in his hands as he relized he had just used the last of his energy and wouldn't be able to teleport back to ship, or regenerate himself. He would need to recover before thinking of doing of any of that. And the only help for miles he had just blasted into a tree.

Kisshu, with great effort, looked up and saw the limp pair by a far tree. He relized what he had just done could of just killed Ayuta. "I…" He whispered, staring at the unmoving girl he had traded Ichigo for. He had decided her for his mate, her helping rule the world and being the savior of their own with him by her side. Her, who he had just proably killed. He looked at her sadly and closed his eyes. What had he done?

Ichigo stared at Mint and Ayuta, they didn't move. The group of mews did nothing but stare, shock hitting them in the face like a bag of bricks. All their eyes were wide, their mouths agape. Ichigo took a shaky step forward then collapsed, breaking down into a wave of tears. "N-no! They c-c-cant b-be g-gone!" She shrieked, her sobs ripping out of her chest like a wild beast that had just been awaken.

"AYUTA! MINT! GET THE HELL UP AND LOOK AT US! GET UP AND RETURN TO NORMAL, SMILE AND BE SARCASTIC TWORDS ME, I DON'T CARE!" Ichigo cried out despratley, her pleas falling apon two deaf ears, one pair trying to block out the sound. The light from Kisshu's attack still hung weakly into the air, and slowly dissolved into blackness, Ichigo's sobs tearing through the night sky and ripping through the heart of Kisshu and the other mews. "please… just… do something…" She begged to the ground, her tears falling from her cheeks into the soft dirt. "Please…" She asked one last time.

Lettuce turned away, silent cries vibrating out her mouth. She closed her eyes and held one hand to her chest the other to her side. Pudding reached out searching for Lettuce. Finding her ribbon she grasped onto her leg tightly and sobbed into the green haired girls leg.

Ichigo pounded on the dirt. "NO!" She scremed, making Lettuce and Pudding jump slightly. Ichigo stood up shakily and walked over to the mews against the tree. "Get up." She ordered.

Lettuce turned twords Ichigo. "I said GET UP! Your stronger than to die here! Think of what Zakuro did for you! She died for you! Mint has proably died for you to! So don't you dare, you ungrateful brat, DIE ON US NOW!" Ichigo roared and stood over the pair of mews, her fists at her sides shaking in anger.

Ayuta swam through the blackness, she tried to find a way out but it seemed to swallow her deeper. She felt the blow to the tree had done much more than just knock her out… was she… no! She couldn't be! She knew better than to die here. The blackness shoved her down, pinning her arms and legs. It hurt to struggle, her mind said to give in, let yourself relax and just go, but her body screamed back a sharp NO! She continued to struggle, but now she was sleepy. The ever bliss of sleep pulled her mind in more reason now, but not enough to stop her body from fighting back. NOT YET! It hissed. Ayuta nodded, agreeing. She had to keep fighting until she was out of this mess.

Ayuta pulled just enough strength over her temptations to push the pressure off her arms and legs, and she swam up, hoping to find a surface. But the blackness would not let her go so easily. Another hit of drowsiness dissolved over her, stronger. Ayuta floated back down a couple feet, her mind cooed her down deeper, her body screamed to go higher. She was just starting to give into the blissful mind when a voice ripped through the water, sending ripples all around her, pausing her decent.

"I said GET UP! Your stronger than to die here! Think of what Zakuro did for you! She died for you! Mint has proably died for you to! So don't you dare, you ungrateful brat, DIE ON US NOW!"

"Ichigo…" Ayuta felt rage fill her, and her mind temptation was gagged as her body took over. She swam as hard as she could, as fast as she could, up. Twords the voice.

Ayuta sliced through the water, almost there. "Don't worry Ichigo," Ayuta said in her head. "I wont die on you!" And with that she felt herself surface.

Ayuta flew forward, gasping and panting. She grabbed at her throught as the air came in and out, a gift from the gods. How dare she blame them earlier? "A-Ayuta!" Ichigo gasped. She looked up at Ichigo, about to gasp her name.

CRACK!

The sound echoed off the trees and entered the night sky. Ayuta lifted a hand up to the red hand mark the mew had just gave her. "How dare you put us through that!" She spat with an edge and venom in her voice that would of caused anyone to shrink to an ameba.

"I…" Ayuta was speechless. She suddently looked down and saw the bird mew in her lap. "MINT!" She shrieked and grabbed the girls face. "MINT! MINT PULL OUT! DON'T GO DOWN SWIM UP UP!" But she didn't know how strong as Ayuta had been at resisting and could of already gave in. Ayuta slumped over the girl and a tear fell down her face and landed onto the navy blue haired girls cheek.

Mint gasped, her eyes flying open. "MINT!" She screamed and held the girl close. Then felt the sticky wetness on her back. Ayuta pulled away and squinted through the dark. It was blood. "Oh shit! Ichigo she's hurt badly! Lettuce, Pudding!" She called out. The two came rushing out and neeled down to look at Mint.

"Lettuce…" Pudding asked, her voice a small child's whimper. "Is Mint oneechan going to die to?" She asked, her voice breaking at the end. Lettuce grabed the young girls blonde head and pulled her to her chest.

"Pudding…" She whispered to her, rubbing circles on the girls back as she cried.

It was too much. He couldn't take it. The agonizing painful screams, the sobs that tore his very exsistence into two, the terrified voices. No person; nor alien; was ment to hear any of this. He ground his teeth together, his insides churning inside of him. He suddently upchucked, feeling the hot taste of blood come out with it. He heard the mews turn twords him. Now he was really dead, unless he introduced his plan to them before they killed him.

"You filthy arrogant selfish HEARTLESS BI-POLAR MONSTER!" Ichigo screamed, her voice raising with anger. She stood and stalked twords him.

"Wait, I can-" He was inturupted by a kick connecting with his jaw. He spat out more blood and coughed violently. Another kick came, and it came at his side. More blood came gushing out of his mouth. "I… can revive her…" He muttered, just as Ichigo was pulling back for a kick to his face.

She froze. "You what?" She blinked at his figure, hard to see him in the dark.

"I can revive her, but you need to revive me first." He said weakly.

Ichigo spat at him. "And why the hell would we revive you? YOU CAUSED THIS!"

He reached out and weakly gripped Ichigo's ankle. "Ichigo… please… I know… I'm sorry… It's all my fault…" he said between deep breaths.

"How would we revive you?" Lettuce asked. Ichigo snapped her head twords her.

"Ayuta… her honey septor has the ability to heal…" He said.

"Then let's just revive her ourselves and leave this sorry excuse for life to die!" Ichigo hissed at them.

Kisshu shook his head, trying to chuckle but failing and just causing another round of coughs to control him again. "One, you need mew aqua, which I have, and two, her healing powers don't work on alien inflicted wounds, Pai made it that way in her-" He paused to catch his breath. "her pendent." He finished.

Ichigo stared down at him, contemplating. The first streaks of dawn reached over the hills far away, giving little detail around them. Kisshu had deep cuts, and there was a pool of blood starting to collect around him. Ichigo suddently worried for his safety, for deep down, she had loved this alien. That was why she was so upset about hearing about him switching out for Ayuta… that was why she had broke down crying outside, unable to fight. Now relizing it, she bit her lip and faught tears that threatened to leak out her eyes as she looked at her half dead true love. "Ok." She said in a defeated voice and knelt down to him.

He reached inside his shirt and pulled off a necklace with a tiny blue shard attached to it and handed it to Ichigo. She got up and turned twords Ayuta.

Ayuta stared at the alien, relizing she would have to revive the one she had worked so hard to kill, but in return the life of her friend would be restored. That was enough to make her reach out and grip the little shard.

"HONEY SCEPTER!" She shouted, and suddently the mew aqua dissolved into pure light and a yellow stick appeared. The light landed in her hand then circled around her arm before going back to her hand. It floated up to the top of the stick and landed ontop of it, the light shattering away revieling a black ball with yellow stripes circling around it. She held it above her head.

She gently handed Mint to Ichigo and stood up shakily. She walked over to Kisshu and the rays of light started to turn into beams, shining just ever so slightly. It hit the side of Ayuta's blank face and made shadows on the other side. Kisshu was just a shadow on the ground, his pool of blood increasing.

He looked up at Ayuta and the light hit his face, a look of sorrow, gratitude, and loving care mixed into his features as the soft orange light tinted his bloody face, it made him look like an angel. She knelt down and held her septor to his body and closed her eyes. Like before, words boiled at her tounge, begging to be let out. She opened her mouth and it only came out in a whisper.

"Sweet treat reborn!" She whispered intently. A light glow shone through her closed eyes, a tear of emotions rolling over her cheek as the light faded. She felt a cool hand wipe it away and she opened her eyes and saw a fully healed Kisshu kneeling in front of her. His clothes were still terribly bloody, but all scrapes bruises and cuts were gone. He gave her a gentle smile with pure kindness in his eyes, they were liquid amber, melting into her soul and consuming her. The once orange light was now a beautiful dimmed purple, a foggy light replacing the orange one. It showed every feature of his face, all was beautiful and pure kindness.

"Thank you." He whispered and started to get up. She grabbed the front of his shirt and pulled him into a kiss, a very loving sweet one. Kisshu was surprised but soon closed his eyes and gently held the back of her head, kissing her back with love. Morning light bathed the two, bright dark yellow light shining down.

She pulled back and stared into his caring golden eyes. "No," She whispered to him. "Thank you." He smiled sweetly and pulled a hand up to put it on the side of her cheek. Suddently his features changed, from kindness and happiness to sadness and regret. She looked at him and he avoided her gaze.

"And…" He said, pulling away from her standing up. "…I'm sorry." Before teleporting away.
