Never forgetting you
Chapter 9 – Don't leave me…
Kisshu stared at the body of his lover, there she was, laying on the floor like a broken doll, bathed in her own blood, with the demon's sword trespassing her body…
"I-Ichigo…" he whispered as if he was trying to call her, trying to wake her up but nothing seemed to happen…oh how he wished that this moment was nothing but a horrible nightmare…she didn't move or opened her eyes, Onii placed a hand on the sword and took her out of the kitten's body, then shook the blood of it and looked at Ichigo's body and murmured:
"Stupid human, thinking she could defeat me," he turned his back and started walking towards Kisshu, who was still being held by his two demon guards and looking at the body of the one he loved, noticing this Onii smirked evilly "Oh was that pretty little kitty so important to you? Don't worry you will see her again very soon…prepare yourself to die, alien."
Kisshu lowered his head, his body started shaking hard but it wasn't because of the deep wounds that covered his whole body, neither from fear…it was from anger and hate…
"D-Damn you…" he murmured in a low tone but Onii was close enough to him to hear, he frowned at this
"What was that , alien?" Kisshu clenched his teeth hard and slowly lifted his head; his amber eyes filled with anger stared at the demon's cold, emotionless and red eyes
"Damn you…how dare you…how dare you and your damn species hurt the ones I love most?" he yelled, Onii smirked again
"This is called revenge alien, this is war, this is nothing more than a battlefield where nobody has mercy with the others! The humans and your species destroyed and killed most of my people, including my father twelve years ago! I have been waiting so long for this moment, the day I finally would get my revenge by killing all of you mercilessly!" this time Kisshu couldn't handle more, hearing those macabre words and remembering the last time he saw his parents alive, his grandfather laying on the floor, hurt and surrounded by two demons and now Ichigo, the love of his life, bleeding to death after fighting without giving up, until she couldn't more just to protect him…his golden eyes started shining a bright blue and an aura of the same color surrounded his body, the aura was so strong that sent both the demons that were holding him and Onii away.
In a blink of eyes, his wounds were healed; blood was no longer seen in his body, his clothes that once were completely thorn, were now fully restored. The green-haired alien lifted his head, the aura around his body disappeared but his eyes keep shining the bright blue color.
He crossed his arms and in his hands appeared his Dragon Swords. Moving swiftly, he flew towards Onii, the two demons that once held him stood in front of him in order to protect their leader from the alien but Kisshu didn't show any kind of mercy and as he flew through them made deep cuts on their chests with his swords, the demons fell on the floor lifeless…
Onii noticed the sudden change in the alien and quickly lifted his sword to confront him, in less than a few seconds Kisshu's swords made contact in the metal of the demon's sword; a few bolts appeared when the two metals touched each other. The demon stared at the alien's blue eyes, trying to understand what made his enemy change so quickly, back there he was laying on the floor and badly hurt, he barely could move and now he was fully healed, no wound in his body and more stronger than before.
The demon was so distracted trying to understand the reason why Kisshu's power grew so suddenly that the alien took this chance to pass a pothole to the demon, one of his legs hit Onii's and when he was in the air, Kisshu punched his stomach hard which sent the leader of the demons against the wall.
Without waiting for his adversary to stand up after such collision with the wall, Kisshu moved quickly towards Onii and started hitting him with strong punches mercilessly.
"Kisshu!" he heard someone calling him but he was so obsessed in punching the demon that he completely ignored it, not too far Ichigo's friends, Pai, Taruto and Nadia were running towards them, it was Louhi's sister who had called her friend's name but got no reaction from him, they only understood why they were being ignored when they approached a bit more and saw his shining eyes.
"Pai! His eyes are-!" said Nadia, scared, Pai said nothing and just nodded
"We have to stop him and quickly!" said Taruto, the three aliens quickly flew towards their friend, the truth was that Kisshu was always under the eyes of his friends when it came to battles since they all knew what would happen if he stressed during the battle, he would become a monster that wouldn't see the difference between friends and foes, it would be like he was being possessed and controlled by someone else…
"ICHIGO!" yelled Berry terrified when she saw her sister laying down on the floor, under her a pool of her own blood, the girls run to her and tried to do everything they could to help her. Berry held her body in her arms while the others tried to find any sign of life from the pink kitten.
"I can't find anything!" said Lettuce, scared as she touched Ichigo's wrist and neck, trying to find any sign that showed their friend was still alive, Mint put her ear on the kitten's chest and waited a little bit
"I found it!" she yelled suddenly which made the other girls jump "I found it, it's weak but I was able to sense it, her heart is still beating but she needs help right now, her breath is barely heard and lost lots of blood!"
"Then we have to get her to Ryou, Keiichiro and Masaya they are taking care of the seriously injured people" said Ringo, the girls nodded, Zakuro, being the oldest one and the strongest one of the group, picked up Ichigo's body from Berry's arms
"What about Kisshu?" asked Pudding, worried
"He is going to be alright Pudding, the other three are taking care of him and we need to get going now" with that the six girls disappeared from there
Meanwhile Kisshu was fighting against Pai, who was holding him tightly. He, Taruto and Nadia were able to separate him from Onii, Pai was in charge to hold him while Nadia chanted a few words and held a paper in one of her hands, the paper looked like a seal, Taruto was standing in front of them, with his back turned to them, his orange eyes watched carefully Onii who was breathing hard and badly hurt, he didn't take his eyes off him for a single second and decided to keep his guard up just in case he decided to attack them. Kisshu's eyes keep shining the blue light, his teeth clenched tightly, he growled while trying to free himself off the oldest alien's tight grip, Nadia had her eyes closed as she keep chanting the words, suddenly she opened them and quickly placed two fingers on Kisshu's forehead.
"Seal!" she chanted the last word from the spell, her fingers started shining as well as Kisshu, she took her fingers off his forehead and replaced them with the seal paper. Kisshu's blue eyes widened and he kind of growled louder as if he was in pain, after a while the light disappeared and he fell on Pai's arms, exhausted. "This should hold that side of him" Pai nodded and both aliens turned around to face Onii who was still under the eyes of Taruto.
Suddenly Iyzebel appeared next to her fiancée and held him in a protective way in her arms; she stared at the aliens before her red eyes with anger and was ready to attack them when Onii stopped her
"No…" he murmured, she blinked her red eyes in confusion
"But Onii…" he shook his head and looked at the aliens as well, they never let their guard down
"Retire for now…" ordered the demon, he and Iyzebel opened their huge bat like wings and flew up in the sky, not too long after the other demons followed after their leaders and disappeared in the night's dark sky, the village was completely destroyed, just like twelve years ago, bodies laying down on the floor, bathed in blood, houses burning and destroyed…
Kisshu stirred a little and started opening his eyes; they were back to the normal, back to their original amber color. He lifted his head and saw Nadia and Taruto in front of him while Pai was still holding him in his arms.
"Guys…oww…what happened…?"
"You…let your dark side take over you again…" answered Taruto, Kisshu's eyes widened a little but then returned to the normal, he sighed in disappointment, he was disappointed with himself, for letting that other side of his taking over him again…he freed himself from Pai's arms and stood up, he looked around the place that before has been a battlefield, his eyes quickly came across the place where a pool of blood was, his eyes widened in shock again when he remembered who once was laying down in that place…
"Ichigo…where is she…? What happened to her? D-Did I do anything to her while I was out of control? Tell me!"
"Kisshu…we don't know what exactly happened…when we got here she was already laying on the floor and loosing blood, lots of blood…her friends took her to the place where Ryou and the others are taking care of the hurt ones…" said Nadia
"Wait..I-I…I remember…the demon…he stuck his sword across her back when she fought him in an attempt to help me…oh no…take me to her! I need to see her now!" the three aliens looked at each other and nodded, since Kisshu was still a bit dizzy because of the seal, Pai had to teleport with him. The other two soon followed after them.
The four aliens teleported to the place where the badly injured ones were being treated, tents were up around the whole place. The vision was awful, blood spread everywhere, children, warriors and old people badly injured. Kisshu and the others looked around, looking for anyone they knew…sometime later they saw Ryou coming out of a tent followed by Zakuro and Masaya, the aliens approached them but as soon Masaya saw Kisshu, he walked towards him and held him by the shirt.
"You…!" he said, anger and hate filling his brown eyes and voice "It's your entire fault! It's your fault that she like this" Kisshu said nothing, he simply looked away, he didn't like a single bit the black haired boy that was holding him but this time he had to agree with him…it was his fault that the person he most loved was like that…
"It's nothing like that!" said Pai as he pushed Masaya away and freed Kisshu from his grip, the amber eyed alien keep his mouth shut
"It's true! It's because of that alien that she is there, laying down and almost dying! If he knew how to control that demonic side of h-" he was interrupted by Pai who gave him an anger look
"Like I said, it's nothing like that…it wasn't Kisshu who hurt badly Ichigo, it was the demon's leader who did…she tried to save him but ended up like that so don't blame Kisshu for something he didn't do" the green-haired alien finally lifted his head and looked at the group
"Masaya is right, Pai…it's my fault…it wasn't me who hurt her in that way but I let that happen…if at last I have been stronger, she wouldn't be like this…" he murmured with sadness, Ryou sighed and approached them
"Look, blaming each other won't make Ichigo recover quickly…" he turned to face Kisshu and approached a little more to him, he placed a hand on his shoulder and sighed again "Kisshu…I know that you are sad and in pain enough because of Ichigo…but I need to tell you something…it's not good and you need to be strong..."
"What…?" murmured the alien kind of confused
"Your grandfather…we did everything we could to save him but…he being an old man and weak because of the loss of blood…the wounds were a lot and he lost lots of blood…I'm sorry Kisshu but he…passed away…" Kisshu's eyes widened in shock, such news affected him a lot, he only felt that way once when he was told his parents were dead…he almost lost the strength he had in his legs but was able to hold himself, his golden eyes only showed one emotion at the moment: sadness…
"I…I…h-how is…she…?" he asked with a broken voice
"We were able to stop the bleeding…at the moment she is sleeping, we did everything we could, now it's in her hands…if she wakes up today then it's a sign she will recover however if she doesn't…then…it might mean she won't make it…" weakly Kisshu nodded, he couldn't really talk, all these news affected him a lot…"Go in there…she is inside with the other girls" continued Ryou, Kisshu simply followed him inside the tent. There he saw Ichigo laying down on a white sheet, another sheet covered her body up to her chest, she had her eyes closed and breathed weakly…her friends surrounded her, watching her while sadness filled their eyes but they were still calm, praying that she woke up as soon as possible…
"Girls…" called Ryou, they looked up at him "Could you…leave them alone for a while…?" they looked at Kisshu who keep his pained eyes locked on Ichigo, the girls looked at each other and nodded slightly, one by one they left the tent soon followed by Ryou, leaving Kisshu alone with the kitten…
Slowly he sat down on the floor, supporting himself on his legs and knees, and took his lover's cold hand, his body shivered when he felt how cold her body was, trying to keep his emotions in control and trying to convince himself that he wouldn't cry in a moment like this and that he would remain strong for her. Kisshu laid down next to Ichigo and pulled her fragile body against his.
"Ichigo…" he started "Wake up please…wake up my love, I'm here, I'm here for you, I'm here and I won't ever leave you…forgive me…forgive me my kitty…if I last I was stronger, if I wasn't so weak, if I didn't let that demon defeat me so easily nothing like this would have happened…it's my fault but please…please Ichigo wake up, open your eyes, I want to see those brown eyes of yours shining at me and that wonderful smile again…I lost you once before…I don't want to lose you again, not forever…I love you, I love you more than my own life…don't leave me Ichigo…you're everything to me, you're all I have left…my parents are gone and now my grandfather…and I didn't even had the chance to tell him that…that I loved him but specially…that I forgave him…I forgave him for all his errors in the past…don't leave me too my kitten…you're everything to me…it's you who cheer me up when I'm down, it's you who make me feel warm inside, it's you who make my heart beat so fast that it seems it's going to jump out of my chest, it's you who give me strength to keep living every day, to keep fighting, you're my life Ichigo, you're my light…you're my kitty, my guardian angel…don't leave me…don't leave me please…I beg you…I don't know how I'm going to live without you…I love you…I love you more than anything…" Kisshu sealed his words by kissing the kitty's cold lips, his kitty, his life, his light, his angel, showing that everything he said back there weren't just words but how he truly felt about her…he opened his amber eyes and looked again at her, waiting for some reaction…
"Wake up my love…I beg you...come back to me…" he murmured before he laid his head against hers and closed his eyes once again, his arms around his lover's body…
Suddenly a whisper was heard "Ki…sshu…"
