Masaya: With ME!

--All twitch and back away--

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Kish went down stairs and walked into the kitchen where everyone else was having a cup of tea.

Everyone looked up at Kish as he entered the room and Ryou handed him a cup of hot tea. Kish thanked him and sat down on a stool. They sat in silence as they all sipped their tea and mulled things over.

Every little while, one person would look over at Kish until he caught them. Then, they turned away sharply. Kish sighed and sipped his tea. He couldn't get Ichigo's face out of his mind.

To try to change the awkward silence, Kish asked, "So... whose going to tell her parents?" The room seemed to stiffen as his voice ran out sharply in the stiff silence.

Keiichiro responded, "Her parents are still away. We are unsure of where they are, so they can't be informed. When we know they're back, we'll tell them then." Keiichiro sipped his tea and said nothing more.

Kish took a sip of tea and set his cup down. He looked down at his reflection in the tea and saw the "Ichigo necklace" sticking out of his shirt. He touched it, closed his eyes, and sighed.

"Kish..." He opened his eyes suddenly. It was Ichigo's voice, and it sounded like it had upstairs. He looked down at his reflection in the cup and what he saw made his throat constrict.

Ichigo was standing behind him, looking down with sad eyes. His breath was caught up in his chest and his eyes teared up. She looked up and right into his eyes. She shut her eyes and when she opened them again, fresh tears made their way down her cheeks. He opened his mouth to say something, but no sound exited.

At that moment, Ichigo reached out her hand and lightly touched his right shoulder. He looked over at his shoulder, but he was crestfallen when he didn't see her hand. He looked back down into the cup and Ichigo was still behind him.

Am I going crazy? He wondered. I can't be...hallucinating...it's all too wonderful to be fake...It must be real...It must be...

Slowly, he reached his right hand up to his right shoulder, not quite touching Ichigo's hand, but close. He looked at her and began to pull away slightly. She smiled at him and looked at him lovingly. He smiled and slowly touched where her hand was. He swore, for a short moment, he felt her warm, silky skin.

The moment he "touched" Ichigo's hand, a blast of icy energy webbed through his right hand and raced up his arm. The blood in his veins felt like liquid fire. The feeling spread throughout his entire body and finally, his head felt as if someone had injected the liquid fire into every brain cell. His body was electrified and his eyes rolled in their sockets. He fell off the stool and the ground rushed up to meet his head. He briefly heard the Mews and Mina yelling, and saw Ryou, Keiichiro, and Kyo getting up quickly and running over to him. He quickly felt his head split open as he hit the tile floor and unconscious over took him.

Kish opened his eyes and looked around. He was standing in a completely white room. He could see the floor and high, cathedral like ceiling, but the walls were not visible, just as eternal abyss of white. He called out, "Hello?" but received no reply.

Suddenly, from behind him, Kish heard a very familiar, silky voice. "Hello Kish, I've been waiting for you." Kish turned around and saw Ichigo, her smiling face so warm and welcoming.

"Oh, Ichigo...I love you so much...and I am so sorry...I will never leave you again..." She opened up her arms to him and said softly, "I love you too Kish...Come here..." Kish looked quickly down at what she was wearing and began to get choked up. It was the outfit that they put her in when they placed her in the glass coffin. He took a step back and asked quietly, "Am I...dead?" Ichigo replied, "No, you're not...but, you're with me, and that's all that matters." Kish smiled and walked into her open arms. They embraced lovingly and tears fell from Kish's eyes. He closed them and said in a whisper, "I will never leave you...we will be together...I love you so much..."Ichigo hugged him closer and slowly moved her hands up and down his back. "That's right, we're together...forever...Never to part from one another ever again...Eternally bound as one..."

Kish opened his eyes and quickly thought Ichigo doesn't talk like that...so why is she talking that way now?

Like she could read his mind, Ichigo smoothly replied, "I have changed, as you have Kish."

Suddenly, Ichigo's voice seemed to change. It was still silky yet, it became harsher. With every word, Kish felt stranger and stranger. She continued in her new voice. "Yes, that's right, release yourself...let nothing hold you back anymore...come to me..." Kish became worried as Ichigo drew him in closer still. He tried to pull away, but he couldn't move his body. Why can't I move at all? He tried to say something, but his mouth wouldn't move either.

Ichigo continued talking to him. "Yes, let me take away all that pain..." Kish continued to struggle, but he couldn't move still.

Suddenly, Kish felt a shiver run down his spine as Ichigo dropped a hand from his back. Slowly, she pulled something out from behind her back. Kish tried to break free, furious effort proved failure though and Ichigo raised the object in her hand above Kish's back.

Why? Kish thought.

Ichigo responded with, "Because, I love you..." Then, she plunged a dagger into Kish's back. The pommel had a stone in that matched the "Ichigo necklace" in color. Tears poured from Kish's eyes as Ichigo let go of him. He fell and fell into the white abyss, which slowly turned to blackness around him. All he could think as the pain tore through him was Why Ichigo...Why?

The abyss closed in around him and he felt as if it was suffocating him. He screamed as the pain in his back ripped through him again. Slowly, he reached back and felt for the dagger. He grabbed it and as quickly as he could, pulled it from his back. A huge shock of pain resonated from his back and went to every inch of his body. He screamed in agony and the darkness closed in even more and covered him. The more he screamed, the more the darkness closed in. He couldn't breath...He screamed one last time as the darkness covered him completely and...

...He sat up in a bed at the cafe. He suddenly had a very sharp pain web throughout his back and felt a warm liquid oozing from it. He cautiously reached back and felt the wet area. He brought his fingers forward and looked at the tips. On them was fresh blood. He looked in his other hand and saw the bloody dagger. He screamed and the blood began flowing even more. He felt extremely dizzy and collapsed just as Ryou and Keiichiro burst through the door.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO
