Hey! Back with Part 2! Also at the end of this is a preview of my next story! Hope you like it.!

Turn Around (part 2)

She had did all she could. She only desired that there was more she could have done.

Ichigo stared blankly in front of her. Her eyes rested on the ground that had just consumed her two last friends. Now they were all gone. She wished she could have also been engulfed by the dry earth, but the floor wouldn't have her. Once Lettuce and Pudding had met their fate, the ground returned to normal and wouldn't budge under Ichigo's weight.

Tears began to well in Ichigo's eyes as the scene replayed in her mind.

"Pudding, no!" Ichigo screamed as the monkey mew had gotten herself stuck along with Lettuce.

Lettuce stared into the Pudding's blurred eyes. "You shouldn't have done this, Pudding."

"I don't want to lose you, again, na no da."

Lettuce's eyes began to water. She looked to Ichigo, who was desperately trying to think of a way to save them. Lettuce's body was already halfway through the muck, there wasn't any time.

"Ichigo," she whispered softly, "I'm sorry we didn't make it."

"Don't say that, Lettuce!" Ichigo yelled angrily, "I'm going to get you two out of there!" Ichigo stepped towards them.

"Ichigo, Don't!" Lettuce yelled. Ichigo stopped short. She had never heard Lettuce so commanding, so harsh. "You'll only get stuck too." Lettuce's shoulders started to be engulfed. She gulped, "Please, you have to make it. For us."

"Please," Ichigo fell to her knees, her voice was desperate, "Don't leave me."

"We'll never leave you, Ichigo-oneechan, na no da." Pudding whispered.

"Never," Lettuce agreed.

Ichigo gasped as she remembered what took place next. She grabbed her shoulders. Why? Why did everyone have to leave her.

"Ichigo," A voice called behind her. She glanced behind her to see Kisshu standing there, with Taruto floating behind him. Kisshu scanned her face, "What happened?"

"Where's Pudding?" Taruto asked looking around.

Ichigo looked directly at both of them. She turned back around and reached out her hand and placed it on the ground.

!&&!

Master walked into his sector of the ship. He made his way to the center where a circular table stood in the room. Across the table laid four golden pendants with pink symbols etched into them. He only needed one more and he would return home a hero. He looked to the identical able and a large fan laid upon it. Only two more of the alien's weapons were needed. He would return a hero.

The only problem was Yito. He would not let Yito's insolence ruin this mission for him. This was going to be his chance to go down in the history of their race, Him, the leader of the expedition that saved his race from extinction. Generation after generation would study and be taught his story.

He could not let Yito ruin this.

He turned on his heel and quickly walked out the room, in search for the traitor.

!&&!

"Please, Kenji, I'm begging you." Yito breathed. He wasn't completely over his near-death-drowning experience. His voice was hoarse, and his lungs burned.

"You need to stop this talk. Master will surely have your head if I comply to you," Kenji refused.

"He'll have my head either way," Yito coughed, "If you don't let me go, he'll only get it quicker."

"Why must you insist on this," Kenji asked, "Master could've killed you, and yet you still defy him."

"Because, I know this is wrong. And if you look inside yourself, I know you feel the same way, Kenji."

Kenji looked him up and down, before sighing, "Be careful."

"I'll bring them back, I promise."

Kenji didn't respond. He slowly breathed in and out. He closed his eyes and opened his mind. Yito felt a small pull at his body. It turned into a tug then he was lifted off the ground as he was sucked into Kenji's alternate dimension.

!&&!

Kisshu stroked Ichigo's head as she cried into his chest. She had placed her hand on the ground and suddenly collapsed. He didn't have to guess to know that Lettuce and Pudding were gone.

Kisshu moved his eyes to Taruto who was leaning his head against a nearby wall. Every now and then his body would shake. He didn't make a sound. He would only shake. Kisshu would offer to comfort the youngest alien, but Taruto would only deny him with Ichigo present.

Kisshu held in a sigh. Their chances of survival were not good. There was only three of them left, and who knew how many people they were up against. It seemed like all they could do now was wait until the next encounter to face death.

"We should keep moving," Kisshu whispered.

"Why?" Ichigo looked up at him, "It's over Kisshu, there's nothing to fight for anymore."

Kisshu wanted to disagree, to tell her she was wrong. But he couldn't find the voice to.

"You're wrong."

Kisshu looked down at Ichigo, who was staring at him. Those words did not come from his mouth. Taruto also looked back to address the unknown voice.

"You're wrong," Yito repeated, "There is so much to fight for, Mew Ichigo."

Kisshu stood to his feet with Ichigo behind him.

"Who are you?" Kisshu asked.

"That's not important," Yito whispered, "What is important is that you three, have to keep fighting and you have to win."

"Who exactly are we fighting?" Taruto asked. There was something familiar about the alien in front of them.

Yito sighed, "Us."

Ichigo gasped.

"You," Kisshu threatened.

"I knew it," Taruto yelled, accusingly, "You were the one that attacked us in the hall. When Mint disappeared."

"Please," Yito started, "I'm trying to help." In a flash Kisshu was in front of him. He grabbed his collar and slammed him into a wall.

"Trying to help us?" He spat, "You're the one killing us."

"I wish I could take it back," Yito coughed.

"Well you can't!" Kisshu growled. He was seconds away from breaking Yito's neck.

"I know I can't," Yito whispered, he looked Kisshu directly in the eye, "That's why I'm here, to make things right."

"You can never make things right." Kisshu hissed.

"I'm still going to try," Yito said, he looked to Ichigo, "For this to end, you must defeat the Master. Me, I'm just a pawn, his worker. I was chosen for this mission, so I had to follow orders, but now I can no longer follow out his orders. If you defeat him, it ends."

Ichigo stared into his icy blue eyes, now knowing whether to trust him or not. His eyes seemed to beg her to believe him.

"Why should we trust him?" Taruto cut through Ichigo's thoughts. "He's one of them. This could be a trap."

"I think we should trust him," Ichigo shouted. As soon as the words left her mouth, she was shocked that she had said them.

"Ichigo?" Kisshu asked, an eyebrow raised.

"Kisshu, what other option do we have? To wander in this desolate place?" Ichigo asked him.

Kisshu looked back to Yito and sighed. "Fine," he agreed, "But if any harm comes to Ichigo or Taruto because of you," Kisshu threatened, "I'll know exactly how to make it right." With that he let go of Yito and went back towards Ichigo.

"Thank you, Mew Ichigo."

"Don't thank me," Ichigo snapped, "You killed my friends. I will only give you the benefit of the doubt for now, because I have no other choice."

Yito nodded and looked up, "Kenji, bring us back."

!&&!

"Where is he?" Master asked again, growing upset. Kenji was caught off guard the first time he had asked him where Yito was and didn't answer. He could tell Master was growing impatient.

"I am not sure, Master," Kenji lied, hoping he was good at it, "He left shortly after you did. I assumed he was going to apologize for his insolence and treachery."

Master looked deep into Kenji's eyes. "Is that so?"

"Yes, Master," Kenji replied trying not to stutter. He could hear Yito calling to him from his dimension.

"Very, well," Master said, "When you see him, send him straight to my sector." Master turned and walked out of the room.

Kenji sighed and one he heard his footsteps disappear down the corridor he concentrated on bringing the quartet back.

Oh snap! Well obviously the next chapter will be the finale! Yay! OMG! It ends so quickly. Also, this ended quickly so I want to give you guys a preview of my next story so tell me watcha think! It's a high school fic! ^^ (Warning: I am really about to mix up the pairing…well sort of)

Chapter 1: Destiny?

Pai and Kisshu exited the locker room. Pai's purple locks were matted on his head from the sweat while Kisshu pulled his back into a pony tail.

"Some practice today, huh?" Kisshu spoke.

"Yeah," Pai said, rotating his arm, "I think I pulled something."

"Hey, man" Kisshu laughed, "Don't talk like that. Homecoming is just around the corner. We need that arm Mr. Quarterback."

"Yeah, yeah," Pai brushed off Kisshu's words.

They proceeded to double doors that led outside. They walked past a field where a group of cheerleaders were practicing.

"Would you look at that," Kisshu whispered, staring at the girls.

"Really, Kisshu?" Pai rolled his eyes.

"What?" Kisshu asked, "I'm a guy, they're girls. It's natural, man." He nudged Pai, "Now the real problem would be if I didn't notice them."

The cheerleaders were stretching and getting warmed up, waiting for their red-headed head cheerleader to give them orders.

"Hey, Ichigo," A cheerleader giggled, "Isn't that Pai?"

Ichigo turned around as a smirk went across her face. "Take over, Meimi." Ichigo gracefully got to her feet and ran over to the two football players.

"Hey, Pai," Ichigo greeted him with a flirtatious grin. Pai turned around.

"Oh, hey, Ichigo," Pai spoke.

"Hello, my fair maiden," Kisshu smirked. He took her hand. "What do we owe the pleasure of this fine appearance?"

Ichigo pulled her hand away. "Nice try, Kisshu."

Kisshu's smirk widened, "Feisty, like a cat. I like that."

"Any who," Ichigo ignored him, "So Pai, what's up?"

"Nothing, just leaving practice."

"Think, we have a good shot for homecoming?" Ichigo asked, grinning.

"With our team, of course," Pai answered.

"Hmm. Well just remember, I'll be cheering for you, Pai," Ichigo took a step closer.

"Okay," Pai eyed her, strangely then began to walk off. Kisshu winked at Ichigo, before following.

"Dude, that's not even fair!" Kisshu whined, playfully.

"What?" Pai asked.

"Ichigo, the captain of the cheerleaders, is after you, and you don't even care," Kisshu pointed out, "Man, she's perfect you know."

"Then why don't you go after her?"

"It's obvious she wants you." Kisshu muttered.

"She's not my type," Pai stated flatly.

"Doesn't matter, Pai," Kisshu pointed out, "She's head cheerleader and you're quarterback. It's already destined to be."

!&&!

Meimi came up behind Ichigo. "Have a date to homecoming, yet?"

"Not yet," Ichigo smirked, watching Pai leave, "but don't worry. It'll happen."

"Maybe you should aim a little lower, like Kisshu?" Miemi suggested.

Ichigo looked at her horrified, "I'll stick with Pai, thanks. Besides, he'll win homecoming king and I'll be the queen of course. It's destiny."

"Ha, check out nerd girl," Meimi giggled.

Ichigo turned her attention to the slender girl leaving the school. She had a box of books in her arm. She walked towards the parking lot quickly with her green braided pigtails flying behind her. She tripped and her books went flying. She sighed before beginning to retrieve her books. Ichigo and Meimi laughed.

"Tell you what; the day I go out with Kisshu, she'll be with Pai."

!&&!

Ryou and Taruto leaned against the school building. Ryou was smoking a cigarette while Taruto sketched something on the wall.

"Are you going to Homecoming?" Taruto asked Ryou.

"Why are you asking me?" Ryou asked him. Taruto rolled his eyes.

"Forget it," he whispered.

"No, why? You want to go?"

"I would, if I didn't think it was so boring," Taruto replied, "besides, I don't want to take any of these girls."

"Hmm," Ryou thought, "I got an idea, to make this fun."

"What?"

"We should find two, really pathetic girls and take them to Homecoming as a gag."

"Really, Ryou?" Taruto asked.

"What?" Ryou asked, "It'll be funny. Unless you don't think you can do it."

"I can do it," Taruto spat.

"Okay, it's settled," Ryou nodded, "That's the plan."

!&&!
