--Kish's reminiscing--
When Kish had first kissed Ichigo at the zoo, he had, at first, just been acting playful and he thought that she was just so cute. When he backed away and introduced himself, Kish realized that he was going to have to eventually kill her and became sad, knowing that he would have to lose his brand new "toy". After the battle with Chimera Animas, when Ichigo was pinned down, Kish was saddened by the small battle. When the other Mews came and disrupted his "play date" with Ichigo, he left; waiting for the next time Deep Blue-sama would send him to kill the Mews.
When Deep Blue-sama commanded him to kill Zakuro, Kish agreed to take the mission, anything to see his "toy" again. When he tried to and failed, he was happy that he would get to try again and see Ichigo once more. On Kish's way to kill Zakuro, he saw Ichigo outside of a huge mansion and he just had to come down to play with her. When Mint came out and ruined their "date", he decided to set a trap to make Ichigo come to Zakuro.
When Ichigo showed up and was trapped in the Parasite Anima, he thought her upset face was so cute. He realized that he had to kill her or else Deep Blue-sama would become very angry with him. When the Mews escaped, Deep Blue-sama was furious with Kish. He was put under house arrest and Taruto and Pai were put on the mission. It was after they left to drag out the plan the Kish realized that they might actually kill Ichigo. He didn't know at first, but he felt this strange feeling in his heart that told him to care for Ichigo. It was love that he was feeling, true love for Ichigo.
When Pai and Taruto failed their missions, Kish was taken from house arrest and joined Pai and Taruto in the mission. That was the beginning of the Chimera Moth plan.
When the moth finally hatched and the Mews tried to stop it, Kish had that strange feeling of love for Ichigo when he saw her suffering. He went to her and tried to keep her away from Pai and Taruto so that she wouldn't die. When Mint used the Mew Aqua to destroy the moth, Kish regretted having to leave Ichigo. He was relieved that she had survived, but he didn't know how long that would last.
One day, when Kish was flying over Tokyo, he was passing over Ichigo's house and heard her say to her mother that Masaya was taking her to the aquarium. After overhearing this, Kish decided to tag along to make sure nothing happened to his Ichigo.
When they were at the aquarium, Kish was enjoying himself very much. But, when Kish felt Deep Blue-sama watching, he knew he had to attack so that he could prove his loyalty. When he made all of the fish into Chimera Animas, he attacked.
Then, the Chimera Shark pushed her out the window and Kish tried to be evil, but he had a tugging feeling that he had just killed his one true love. But, Kish flew over the building and saw a guy in short shorts and a blue over coat had caught her in mid-air. He heard that the guy's name was The Blue Knight and the he was "born to protect her". Kish was sent into a flurry of hatred for the stupid guy who was trying to take Ichigo from him. When Kish went to fight The Blue Knight, he received two cuts on his cheeks and retreated from the battle.
At that moment, Kish realized that he would sacrifice himself for Ichigo and he would kill anyone in the way of him and his kitten. He was fuming in hatred and loathing for The Blue Knight. How could he just come in and take Ichigo right out form under his nose. He devised many plans to "get rid" of The Blue Knight, but none of them ever worked out.
Finally, when Ichigo and Masaya were at the park on their picnic, Kish saw his chance to draw The Blue Knight out.
Kish began to hurt Ichigo, which hurt him inside, but it had to be done to be rid of The Blue Knight. Suddenly, when The Blue Knight came to save Ichigo, Kish saw his chance to finally destroy him. The battle went on for a little while but, Kish soon realized that he had made the mistake of underestimating The Blue Knight's powers. Kish was injured to the brink of death. Just as The Blue Knight was going to deliver the final blow, Ichigo stopped him, which told Kish that the feeling that Ichigo were feeling at that moment were the exact feeling he was feeling about her…although she might not have realized it at the moment.
Taruto and Pai came to get Kish and take him back to their planet to recover.
While he was recovering, Kish felt something weird, something powerful growing. He felt Deep Blue-sama's power growing. It was then that Kish realized that the stupid Blue Knight was The Key to bringing back Deep Blue-sama. Kish's mind began to reel. He obeyed Deep Blue-sama for one reason; he feared him. If Deep Blue-sama used The Key and gained The Ultimate Power, it would be the end of everything. That was when Kish knew that he had to kill The Blue Knight to protect Ichigo.
Slowly, Kish gained back his strength and began to plan out how he was going to kill The Blue Knight without arousing suspicion from Deep Blue-sama, Pai, or Taruto, all while acting as if he was welcoming The Key.
While Kishu was recovering, Taruto and Pai attacked the Mews and brought back news that The Blue Knight had showed up. He longed for the day that he would be able t destroy The Blue Knight.
Finally, after Kish had recovered completely, he began to set into action his plan to destroy The Key. While he was on his way to set his plan into action, he spotted Masaya hugging Ichigo. The hatred of jealousy spawned up inside him. He flew down and took Ichigo from under Masaya's nose. He took Ichigo to a roof top and tied her up so she could escape. He was just stalling until he could get The Blue Knight to show up and try to save Ichigo. When Masaya showed up on the roof top, Kish was a little shocked, to say the least, when he transformed into The Blue Knight. The battle was a small one. Kish flew away to overcome the sight he had just seen. Kish went back to join Taruto and Pai.
Another chance came up to destroy The Blue Knight when he and the Mews where after the Mew Aqua. Kish tried to stay mainly fighting The Blue Knight but yet, he still escaped alive and worse yet, the Mews had gotten the Mew Aqua.
At that moment, Kish realized that there was no stopping Deep Blue-sama's Awakening. He went back to Deep Blue-sama's fortress and heard him say the Mews were coming. He tried once more to save Ichigo, but she rejected him once again. He tried to tell her, to fit it through her thick head that he truly loved her with all his heart. When she rejected him, he turned away, on the cusp of tears and told her he would stall.
By the time Kish arrived at Deep Blue-sama's fortress, Ichigo had already arrived and was being hurt by Deep Blue-sama. As Deep Blue-sama raised his sword to deliver the final blow, Kish stepped in front of Ichigo with his tonfas and stopped the attack by challenging Deep Blue-sama to a duel. Kish didn't care if he lived or died. He just wanted to prove to Ichigo that the feeling he felt for her were real. He had so much rage and passion flooding his soul. He had to protect the girl that was made just for him.
The fight raged on. Kish's rage turned to strength, his strength turned to love, and his love turned to passion, which helped him be strong.
As he went to strike Deep Blue-sama, Kish didn't move fast enough, and was stabbed in the chest. Deep Blue-sama threw Kish aside without a thought and he landed by Ichigo, who was sobbing at the sight of Kish's body. She picked him up softly and caressed his head in her lap. He looked up at her and when he saw her tears, his heart instantly softened. He could feel his life slipping away from his feeble grasp. He reached up and in his last seconds of his life, he reached up to kiss Ichigo, but refrained and just held her closely, the last payment to their lost love. He closed his eyes and let his life slip away.
When he opened his eyes, he was floating in a black abyss. It was cold and empty. He looked around to observe his surroundings, but there was nothing to see. "Hello?" he called out, but no one answered. Just echoes whispered around him. "Hello? Anyone?" he called out again. This time, someone answered him back.
"Hello Kish." He turned around so fast. When he looked, he saw what, to him, looked like a tenshi. "Who are you? And, more importantly, how do you know my name?" The tenshi was a redhead with pale skin. She was wearing an all white dress. At first, Kish thought Ichigo had died too, but soon realized it wasn't her. This tenshi-girl had longer hair, and her eyes were golden amber. When Kish looked into her eyes, he felt as if they could see into his inner soul, the hidden part of himself.
The tenshi spoke in a kind voice saying, "My name is of no importance. I know your name because I am meant to. I am the Keeper of the Betwixt and Beyond. I guide lost souls and help them move onward to the Haven of Souls. For some reason, I cannot help your soul cross over. You soul is still linked to the world of the Living. Some one's soul won't release your soul…someone still yearns for your existence.
"And so being, you are stuck in the Betwixt and Beyond."
Kish felt a leap of joy. "So, I'm not…dead?" The tenshi-girl nodded and said, "Yes."
Kish wanted to scream! He wasn't dead, and Ichigo still loved him! He thought a second and began to ask, "But, tenshi-san, I-"
"Please," she interrupted. "I'm no tenshi. Please don't think that I have a special purpose. My presence here is a punishment. I am not proud of my past at all, but because of it and what I did, I was sentenced to an eternity of guiding souls. If you want to think of me as a tenshi at all, think of me as a kuro-tenshi."
Kish felt terrible for the girl. He waited a moment, and then spoke quietly.
"But…aren't you lonely here all by yourself?" She looked away and he quickly apologized. "I am so sorry if I offended you in anyway." She slowly turned back to face him and Kish saw crystal tear drops sliding down her cheeks. She took a deep breath and said in a strong tone, "Don't you, Kish, even think for a second that you have ever offended me. I am lonely here, but just seeing your face here makes it okay." She smiled and Kish just stared at her. The emotion that this girl showed made him want to cry and laugh at the same time.
Suddenly, he felt as if am invisible hand was pulling him upward. "What's happening?" Kish asked. The girl said in a small tone, "You're being pulled back to the world of the Living by a great and powerful force. Do not fight it, just relax." Kish looked down and saw his feet and legs beginning to disappear. "Wait, please! Will I ever see you again?" Kish looked up at her as she responded, "You will…in time…"
More tears poured down her cheeks, yet she smiled on. Kish saw his hands and lower torso vanish. He didn't want to leave the girl all alone, but his upper torso began to vanish. She smiled and began to turn away. As his neck began to disappear, Kish said quickly, "You are a dai-tenshi to me!" She sharply turned around just quick enough to see Kish's smile vanish along with the rest of him.
After a second, Kish felt the light hitting his closed eyes and warmth spreading through out his entire body. He opened his eyes and observed his surroundings. He was in Tokyo, lying in a tree. He sat up slowly and saw Taruto and Pai behind him, also looking around.
The power that the dai-tenshi was talking about, could it be the…
"Mew Aqua…" Kish glanced down and saw that every cut, bruise, and scar was healed on his body. The air was blowing faintly with the scent of cherry blossoms in springtime, and the air right before a big storm. The feeling was so calm.
Suddenly, from above, in the sky, a very bright light radiated and enveloped the new city. Kish smiled; all was well.
When the light eased a bit, Kish suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart and his thoughts immediately went out to Ichigo. Something was horribly wrong. Kish jumped down from the tree, despite Taruto and Pai calling him back, and went to where his heart lead him; a quaint little park, the same little park which Ichigo loved to be at so much.
When Kish arrived, with Pai and Taruto at his heels, the Mews, Ryou and were all gazing up into the sky at ball of light. Kish could make out that there were two people inside the light. The sight made him uneasy.
Finally, Kish could see Masaya carrying Ichigo down to earth. He smiled at the sight of Ichigo, but, he couldn't shake off the uneasy feeling in his heart.
As the Mews began to talk and rejoice, Kish looked over at Ichigo. That was when he noticed that she wasn't breathing.
His smile vanished and his heart felt as if it had been doused with ice cold water. The Mews began to freak out, but Kish didn't listen. The only sound he heard was his own heartbeat. He touched down on the ground and began to run over to Ichigo. When he stopped running and looked down at her motionless face, his breath was constricted in his chest. He wanted to say something, but all was still.
Then, Masaya leaned down and gently planted a small kiss on her lips and held her in his arms tightly.
Suddenly, Ichigo's body glowed, and flew up gracefully into the air. She transformed back to normal and floated back down into Masaya's arms. He caressed her gently in his arms as her eyes opened up and looked up at Masaya's face. When Kish saw he eyes open up, his heart was flying all over in his chest. He was so happy. A smile spread across his lips and he began to laugh. He flew up into the air and over to a small grove of cherry blossom trees to watch the happy scene play out. Taruto teased him about it all and Kish brushed the comments aside. He said to them that he was okay with Ichigo and Masaya together, but that wasn't even close to the truth. He loathed Masaya and his love for Ichigo. As Pudding came over to talk to Taruto and Pai to talk to Ryou, Kish slowly flew over to Ichigo and Masaya. When he saw them together, it was too much for him. He turned away and was about to fly away when he heard Ichigo softly call his name. He listened to Ichigo speak.
"Kish?" He still didn't face her. "I don't know how to say this in the right way, but…well…thank you for caring for…um…" He turned towards her and bowed. He looked up at her and at that moment, he knew that he could never have Ichigo, so he made the situation as best as he could. He knew it was a hopeless love.
"Be happy, that's all I ask. In the end, your happiness is all I wish for." He smiled and thought, Even if she is with that Masaya, as long as she is happy. I am happy for her too, although…
"Ichigo, let me have your hand one last time…" She held out her hand and he reached to grab it. When he did grab it, he jumped up and kissed Ichigo on the cheek.
"Ha ha ha! See ya Ichigo!" He flew up into the air with Taruto and Pai, and together, they disappeared.
That was the last time that Kish saw Ichigo in person. He watched her sometimes on Dreumar Kospa, but it wasn't the same.
And now, here he was, sitting next to her coffin. He sighed and thought back to Ichigo's last words and her warm smile.
"Ki-Kish, I had to save you because…because…I lo-love…love you." He then thought back to what the tenshi-girl had said.
"You are still linked to the world of the Living. Some one's soul won't release your soul…someone still yearns for your existence." Kish sighed and began to really think. He had never told anyone about the tenshi-girl or what they had said to each other during their encounter. He thought back to how he felt when he first thought the tenshi-girl was Ichigo. He had mixed emotions of happiness that she was with him, and sadness that she was dead and would be unable to live her life.
Suddenly, he gasped as a pain like a knife cut through his heart. He jumped up and screamed at the ceiling. "Is this amusing?!? Why!? Why? Why me? W-wh-w…" He began to cry as he looked down at Ichigo's body. "Why did you have to save me? Why me?" He at down next to her and put his head between his knees as his tears fell on the wooden floor.
After a minute, he sat up and wiped away his tears. He looked down at Ichigo and stroked her face. Those precious moments between them would never happen again. He just wanted to hold her, to kiss her, so he did.
He leaned down to her face slowly and held back a sob. He gently planted a kiss on her cold lips. In that one kiss, Kish transferred the feelings he felt for Ichigo back into her heart, back into her soul. As he pulled away a tear drop landed on her cheek and slid down her neck. Kish closed his eyes and shuddered.
Suddenly, Kish heard a familiar noise, a noise which filled him with instant joy.
"Kish…" He opened his eyes, expecting to see Ichigo sitting up and well, but she was as still as ever, just as cold. He heard the voice again. "Kish…", but Ichigo was unmoving. He gave up hope and assumed that he was just hearing things.
Just then, a red light emanated from out of Ichigo's hand. The light was so bright that Kish had to shield his eyes. When the light died down, Kish lowered his hand from his eyes and looked down at Ichigo. She was still perfect.
It was at that moment that Kish noticed a small chain sticking from Ichigo's hand, which Kish had not seen before. He began to reach for it, but hesitated. He looked around the room and saw nothing out of the ordinary. He then looked at Ichigo and saw nothing strange.
He reached over to her hand and gently moved it so that he could extract the chain. He pulled the chain out, laid her hand back and examined the chain.
It was an ordinary chain. Hanging from the chain was a gem. He held it up to the light and looked closely at it. The gem was red-pink, like Ichigo's eyes. Those eyes that he remembered, when he looked into them, seemed as if they could see into his soul. He held the gem in his hand and saw nothing else of interest.
He looked over at Ichigo and thought, I think that…she might have wanted me to have this…
He unclamped the chain and hooked it around his neck, re-clamping it. As soon as he put it on, he felt warmth spread through out his whole body. He gave one last smile to Ichigo, closed the glass on the coffin, and left the room.
