This chapter goes back to Ichigo's p.o.v. Oh, and if I get the color of the Blue Knight's eyes wrong, I'm so sorry!
Please read and reply!
Ichigo was in a daze after Kyo kissed her. Even though it was only a kiss on the cheek, it was still a kiss. Kish, who was just standing there, finally said, "Ichigo, it may not seem like it sometimes, but I-I love you. I love you more than I can express in words." He walked over to Ichigo and before she knew what was happening, Kish kissed her right on the lips. The weird thing was, she would usually push him away but this time, she didn't. To her, it didn't feel so bad. After he kissed her, he just ran out of the room. She touched her lips and realized how she felt. Usually, she would feel awful and violated but, this time, she felt kind of happy. She shook off the feeling as she thought of Masaya. I must stay faithful to him.
As she was thinking about all these things, Nurse Riku came and interrupted her thoughts. She said, "Hello Ichigo. Today, I'm going to let you go. Be careful out there. And try not to fall again." She smiled lightly and helped Ichigo get out of bed. Ichigo thanked Nurse Riku, and walked out of the building.
For the first time in almost two days, Ichigo took the time to smell the calming, fresh, alien air. She closed her eyes and actually was happy, for a moment. Her thoughts again drifted to Masaya. She missed him so much. She wished she could see him one more time. She would even settle to see The Blue Knight.
She opened her eyes and when she did, The Blue Knight was standing in front of her. She couldn't believe it. She thought that her mind was playing tricks on her. Wanting to make sure that she was not going insane, she asked, "Ma-Masaya? Is that you?" He smiled at her and said with a smile, "Yes, it's me. Oh Ichigo! I've missed you so much!" He embraced her and she started to cry tears of joy. They both were smiling and laughing in a loving way.
Unknown to the both of them, Kish was watching them. He had come back to visit and spend some more time with Ichigo but, the Blue Knight was there. Kish hated him so much. In spite of everything that Kish had done to take Ichigo from him, Masaya still came to ruin everything. He had flames of fury in his golden eyes. Kyo, who was passing by, was also watching the two embrace. Like Kish, Kyo hated this new-comer because he was with Ichigo. His crystal blue eyes were engulfed in hatred and anger. Both aliens despised the Blue Knight because of his love for Ichigo.
Suddenly, without realizing it, both aliens started to fly toward the hugging couple. Masaya heard something and turned around just it time to see the aliens flying toward him. He stood tall and stretched his arms out, protecting Ichigo.
Kish, Kyo, and Masaya were all staring at each other in a very mean way. Kish was the first to speak. In a snobby way he said, "Hello Blue Knight. How did you get here?" The Blue Knight replied to him saying, "I have my sources Kish." His gaze shifted over to Kyo and he said, "Who are you?" Kyo sneered and replied, "Kyo. Who are you?" The Blue Knight didn't let his guard down at all as he said, "I'm the Blue Knight and also, I'm Ichigo's boyfriend who loves and will always protect her." Ichigo couldn't say anything. She was speechless.
Eventually, Kish broke the silence by saying, "Alright, I've got an idea. Since all three of us love Ichigo, let's settle this once and for all with an alien bet match. Winner gets Ichigo, losers never touch her again. Rules are there are no rules. Fighting arena is a mile across the ditch. Agreed?" Both Kyo and the Blue Knight waited a second before they both nodded. When Ichigo saw all of them nod, she started to stutter out sounds that were supposed to be words, but her lips went numb. She couldn't believe it. She finally had Masaya again and now, he was going to fight other aliens that could possibly kill him. She didn't want that. Kish began to speak once again. "Well since we all agree, I'll meet you both there at dusk. Ichigo, I would appreciate it, since you're the motive for this battle, if you would come as well." Before she could object Kish flew up into the air, shouted, "See you later!" and disappeared. Kyo also flew up and vanished. Once more, the Blue Knight and Ichigo were alone. He loosened up and confidently stated, "I'm so strong, I could never lose to them." He smiled and said, "Don't worry Ichigo everything will be al-" He stopped in mid-sentence. He had turned around to look at Ichigo and she was very pale and shaking. He grabbed her chin and lifted her face up and looked very concerned as he said, "Ichigo, are you felling alright? You look sick." She looked up at his face, into his sea blue eyes and whispered, "Masaya?"
"Mmhmm?" he replied.
"Do you truly love me?"
"With all my heart. Why do you ask?"
She looked down and said in a hushed tone, "If you really love me, don't fight over me. I love you and I don't want to see you hurt."
The Blue Knight looked lovingly at her and stated, "But, if I don't fight for you, I could lose you and that would hurt me more than any injury." She forced out a smile, and as she started to sob, she said to him, "Do as you wish." He smiled, kissed her on the forehead, and said to her, "Rest and I'll come and get you here when it's time for the fight." The Blue Knight flew upward, looked down at Ichigo once more, and then flew away.
Ichigo fought back tears until she was sure everyone was gone. Then, she couldn't contain her emotions anymore. They spilled put like water. Ichigo fell on her knees, put her hands on the ground, and stated to cry uncontrollably. Her body shuddered as the tears came rolling down her cheeks. They shined like dew as they fell on the grass. "How could I let this happen?" she cried out to no one.
