It's chapie number 11! Wow didn't know I was going to make so many chapters when I first started! But the people are are cool enough to review think it's good and that make me happy! And last time I checked I had over 400 hits! And that was 2 days ago! Yeah that might not seem like much considering how many other people get but it's the most I've ever gotten! I had written three stories… but I didn't like one of them called dream reality which was based off of dream saga by megumi tachikawa who also wrote mink, and some other ones I that I haven't read. Anyways I deleted that story so now I only have this story and my story for primeval… which I haven't worked on in ages!... heres the story!...

Ichigo's POV

Instead of getting better she seemed only to get worse, no matter medicine she took or how much rest she'd gotten. Today she had a high fever, her temperature was 15 degrees above normal and she was covered in a cold sweat. Ichigo cried in pain. She felt dizzy more often these days and more and more weak; everyone was fretting, Pudding was silent except for silent murmurs about how her mother died from being sick, Lettuce was saying sorry more then usual and also breaking lots more dishes which pissed off Ryou who lectured her almost everyday not that Lettuce minded at all… in fact Ichigo thought she liked it, Mint drank lots more tea and offered her some, Zakuro was behaving like an opposite of herself instead of being level-headed she was extra edgy and snapped at people a lot, Keiichiro kept messing up when he cooked, Ryou said that she wasn't supposed to be like this and that she was a mew mew a perfectly genetically modified person and that she should be able to get better faster then normal people, Tart had stopped calling her an old hag when he saw her, and Pai was even reading his 'how to research for dummies' book which made Zakuro laugh because by doing this he was sort of admitting he was dumb at something but Pudding was happy that he was using it; especially to help Ichigo, and Kish always seemed to be with her whenever she woke up, and Kiyone and Kookie visited often.

When she cried out Kish woke from the light nap he was taking at the end of her bed and he went up to her face,

"Ichigo! Are you ok? Do you need a cold face-cloth or some medication?"

"I- I should be- ok" she gasped as the pain waves began to ebb along with her energy,

"Are you sure you're alright?"

"Yes now don't worry so much, I'm just… tired." She said stifling a yawn

"Ok then but if you need any thing at all I'll be right here."

The next time Ichigo woke up she was in cat form, this had been happening often now; she would sleep as a human and wake as a cat only to be rescued by Kish who was always watching her. She sat up shaking her tail and yawning, she felt weak still, and hers ears remained flat in discomfort. Kish was sleeping she didn't know how much rest he had gotten but she was sure that it wasn't much so she decided to let him be, she could stay a cat for a while… it wasn't as bad as one might think, in fact she kinda liked it because it gave her a new way of thinking… of seeing things. She had been awake for no more then five minutes when Pai came rushing in; scaring Ichigo soo bad that she jumped quite high (the fur on her back brushed the ceiling!) and let out a mewl of surprise, this also woke Kish.

Kish's POV

He was sure he had just closed his eyes for a moment… but apparently he'd fallen asleep, it wasn't really a problem because Ichigo didn't mind waiting to be turned back into a human but still… he should have stayed awake!

He quickly took Ichigo from mid air as she fell and returned her to her original form.

"Thanks Kisshu"

"Yeah no problem… I said I'd be here for you."

Ichigo smiled but he could tell she was hurting, only his poisonous brother would ever poison an innocent person, 'it's my fault though… if I didn't love my Kitty-Cat the way I do she might not have been a target.'

"Guys! I have done actual research with the help of this book and-"

Tart walked into the room,

"Hey! Oniisan, you're a dummy! Hahaha" he started laughing his head off at him. That along with stress and little sleep finally made Pai snap.

"Look you brat! I am not your brother! Your real family is f'ing dead! Seriously! Do we even look slightly alike? No! your still Kish's cousin but your not my brother. Your just some orphan!"

Tears welled up in Tart's eyes he looked stunned, then he ran from the room. 'poor little Tart' thought Kish.

"Look Pai, you really didn't need to say that… it might be true , but still that was harsh."

Pai looked like he had just came back from another world,

"I- I didn't mean to, it's just… well he is from the Kamavirya family and not the Arashi… I should apologize though, I promised to take care of him and now I've probably hurt him bad. But I really need to tell you my research results." (a/n Kamavirya is tart's last name it means 'vigorous at will' I picked that because he can be vigorous and well childish, Arashi is Pai's last name, it means 'storm' I chose cause it matches really good, he even uses a storm-like attack!)

"What are the results?" asked Ichigo speaking for the first time since she'd woken up.

"Ok, Ichigo, you have been shot/injected with a rare poison, a poison that causes a long and probably painful death after the one side effect that the injector has chosen, see Kizashi made the side effect for you to, be romantic/love Kish, merely because that would make him most likely more in love with you, therefore making your death a more painful torture to him than before." He paused for a moment 'it's true, I've really come to love Ichigo more than when I first met her, but she didn't no drug to make me more in love with her… she's my kitten after all.'

Pai continued "but there is a cure, the only thing that can heal Ichigo is something that she infused herself with back at the ship; Pure Aqua. But not just any piece, it must be the Pure Aqua in it's crystalline form, which can only be found on the top of the ancient mountain in our planet. The Pure Aqua crystal appears on the top once every week. but this would not have cured her if she had not transformed/joined with the Pure Aqua."

Kish felt excitement well up in him, there was a way to save his kitty's life!

"Ok, so I will go and get it!" Volunteered Kish

"The journey is too dangerous to go alone, many chimera anima live on the mountain and are very aggressive." Pai explained

"I- I will go too!" said Ichigo eager to check out this mountain and help look for her cure, Kish could tell she was sick of doing nothing.

The other mews ran in… they had been watching the whole time…

"We'll come!" they said

"Ok…" Pai said *side steps away from the excited and slightly hyper girls*

"YAY, we're going to a mountain!" squeaked Pudding.

"Not right this second! Pai has something to do before we go." Kish faced Pai and gave him a look that told him to go apologize to his little cousin and Pai's adoptive brother.

Ichigo's POV

They found him in a tree, he was talking to pudding who had found him earlier and wouldn't tell them where he was, they seemed to be eating some sort of candy drop. Ichigo leapt up into the tree and nearly fell off… she felt like she was burning up and yet frozen solid; it was an interesting feeling.

"Hey Pudding, hey Tart."

"hey Ichigo."

"we are gonna go to a mountain."

"yeah Pudding already told me." Tart answered

"Pai said he wanted to apologize… he feels bad that he hurt you, he

really does love you like family… you can see it in his eyes… and don't

worry… if his guilt wasn't bad enough Zakuro's giving him hell right

now!" Ichigo giggled,

"You have to watch it's quite funny!" she told them. Then Pai came out

of the cafe looking very beaten up… both verbally and physically… he

came and flew up to Tart.

"Look, Taruto… I'm sorry for being…"

Someone probably Zakuro yelled from within the café "An ass!"

"Um… yeah I'm sorry for being an ass to you. I really do care for you

and I'm deeply sorry." He was in shame and anyone could see it.

"I, forgive you." He said

"here." Pai handed Tart an old photo of a young Cyniclon woman smiling

Happily, she had brown hair up in pig-tails that went to her shoulder,

and she had goldeny yellow eyes. Pai didn't need to tell him who this

was. He already knew.

"Thanks." Tart answered quietly. Pudding gave him a hug,

"There! Now Taru-Taru is feeling better and we can go play at the

mountain!"

"Stop calling me Taru-Taru!" but pudding had already gone down to get

the others.

The had all gathered together and collected the necessary supplies

to go to the ancient mountain. Then it was time to go.
