Eh…. I have nothing to say…. Please enjoy this chapter my lovely fans!

Chapter 12: One Long Night

That night she sat alone on her bed wide awake. Ichigo was confused. Frightened. Unable to grasp the fact that she was pushing everyone in her life away. She loved Kish, but she loved Masaya, and if what Masaya said was true… Kish… killed Masaya, she thought. She threw her head into her pillow and screamed. This was all too confusing.

Slowly but surly, the night dragged on, and she fell into a deep dark sleep.

Ichigo found herself in the Tokyo tower; the very place where she had destroyed Deep Blue three years ago and the place she had thought to have lost Masaya forever. The place where she had almost been lost forever.

She was hit with a wave of emotion. The tower represented many things to her. For one it was a place of love, loss and evil, but it was also the place where she had saved everyone in the world.

As she walked forward, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a shadow dart to her left.

"Ummm… H-hello?" Ichigo stuttered. Again, a shadow darted to her right. She was frightened. "Who- who's there?" she screamed out of shear terror.

"It's me," said a voice, but there was no one in Ichigo's field of vision. The voice was quiet, with a dark sort of chill that made the hair on the back of her neck stick up.

All of a sudden she felt the brush of hands against her shoulders, and then they wrapped around her waist. Ichigo felt the brush of lips against her ear. "It's Masaya, Ichigo. You've done an amazing thing."

Ichigo let out a small scared squeal. This wasn't the same way Masaya had talked to her before. It was a smooth beautiful way of speech, but now it was a more sinister tone, one that scared her to death.

"Masaya" took his hands off of her and as soon as he did, Ichigo turned around to find it wasn't Masaya at all…..

-With Kish-

Kish was still torn apart. He couldn't handle the constant rejection and as soon as he received what he wanted most in all his life, it was ripped away from him again. He had passed the point of sadness. Kish was now on to the anger stage. "Masaya…" he growled, "Why do you always steal my world from me?"

Kish sat atop one of the highest buildings in Tokyo looking off into the sunset. There was a light breeze. He sighed.

"Ichigo…. When will I ever give up on you?" he questioned himself. Never, he thought and knew. How could he give up on the thing that gave him purpose? Ever since the first day he met her, he knew he was destined to be with her.

Pai and Tart floated in and sat next to him. "Girls are stupid. You can find a better one on our planet anyway. That old hag doesn't deserve-," Kish glared at Tart. Tart knew that meant stop talking or you're going to get hurt.

"You know," said Pai, "The mew does feel for you. She's proven it time and time again. Humans have a mix of feelings though. Love confuses and eludes them. I think you need to fight for her one more time."

"Yea! You're losing to a dead guy! That's so lame!" said Tart as he teleported off to avoid getting hit. Kish growled again. He knew Tart was right.

Kish calmed down and sighed again. "I love her, Pai."

"I know you do. That's why I'm giving you advice. If it was any other human, I would have let you handle this on your own."

Off into the distance there was a soft glow of red. "There are only two things beautiful on this plant, Ichigo and the sunset," said Kish, but the red glow got brighter.

"I don't think that's the sunset…" said Pai puzzled. Soon the glow was a beam of light piercing the sky.

"That's the direction of Ichigo's house…," breathed Kish. "Shit!" He teleported off before Pai could stop him.

-In Café Mew Mew-

"What is that, Na No Da?" said Pudding as she rolled by on her big red ball.

"What is what?" said Ryou as he rounded the corner and walked into the main dining area.

"That!" Pudding pointed out of one of the cute heart shaped Café Mew Mew windows where you could see a faint red glow.

"Hmmm…. Why does that seem so familiar?" mumbled Lettuce as she cleaned the last table and was about to go change when it hit her. "Ichigo…. ICHIGO!" she screamed.

"What about, Ichigo?" asked Mint looking irritated.

"The red glow! It's the same kind of glow as when we were at her house! It may be her. That's the direction of her house too!" Lettuce was frantic.

"What's all the fuss about?" asked Keiichiro as he rounded the corner after hearing Lettuce scream.

"Keiichiro, I need you to run a scan of the area. See if there is a concentration of energy in one area, especially near Ichigo's house. She may be in trouble again," said Ryou as he walked to the café's front door.

"Where are you going?" questioned Zakuro.

"To Ichigo's. I'm going to hurry there before anyone else finds her. I have a bad feeling that she's in trouble."

"Well, we're going with you of course," said Zakuro walking to him.

"What? You can't be serious!" yelled Mint. "She betrayed us and broke our trust on top of that, and your still going to help her?"

"We're a team, Mint. When are you going to learn that? And a team never leaves a member behind," said Lettuce, regaining her composure and joining Zakuro and Ryou.

"I'm going too, Na No Da!" smiled Pudding as she did a cartwheel and joined the others.

"Are you coming, Mint?" asked Ryou.

Mint grumbled, but gave up and decided it was no use, so she joined them and together they ran to Ichigo's house.
