Ichigo stared at him. He was laying down in the bed, sleeping. His eyes were closed and his green hair was neatly tied in both of his sides.

'Do you think he will be okay?' Ichigo asked, not taking her eyes off him.

'I am sure he will,' Lettuce replied.

Ichigo looked at Lettuce and smiled at her. She was very happy that she had her friends by her side. Friends like Lettuce, sometimes that's all someone needs to help them go through harsh situations like that.

'His cut is deep, though,' Taruto came in the room, 'it could have easily killed him.'

Ichigo knew he was right. Kisshu's wound was painful. He had already lost lots of blood and if he didn't receive help in time, he would have lost too much blood to be able to live. It would have been too late.

'But he is alright now,' Lettuce told Ichigo, always trying to make her look into the positive side. She has been going through a lot and she really could do with some comfort, 'and you should go and have a rest as well.'

'But…'

'He will be fine; you should go and eat something now. We don't want you to get ill.' Lettuce said.

Ichigo sighed, 'you are right. But you have to tell me straight away if he wakes up.'

Lettuce smiled, 'you will be the first one to know.'

Lettuce and Ichigo went to the living room, followed by Taruto. They both sat down in the table, Pie, Ichigo's parents and all the Mew Mews were there as well.

'What if Kisshu doesn't wake up?' Ichigo whispered.

'Don't worry about it, he will,' Lettuce reassured.

So Ichigo sat down in the table with Lettuce. Taruto had already sat down and started eating like nothing was wrong.

'How is Kisshu?' Pie asked Taruto.

'He hasn't woken up yet,' Taruto replied.

'That's fine, he needs some rest,' Lettuce told everyone.

'Are you sure Kisshu will be alright na no da?' Pudding asked, she didn't like seeing anyone of her friends get hurt.

'I am sure he will, now let's eat and stop worrying about him,' Taruto looked at everyone and started eating his meal again.

'How can you be so calm about all of this?' Mint sighed.

'This has happened a lot of times before, it's no big deal. He will get well soon.'

Ichigo stared at Pie and Taruto for a moment. If this has happened a lot of times before, then it must have been when they were all fighting. Ichigo felt horrible at the fact that Kisshu had to suffer so much because of her. It was unfair.

Everyone just ate for a while. They were all at Ichigo's house and Kisshu was in Ichigo's room, laying down in her bed. His deep cut hadn't healed yet and he has been unconscious for a long time now. Luckily Pie and Taruto knew what to do and knew how to heal his wound. So he should be fine. Or at least, everyone hoped so anyway.

All kinds of emotions streamed through her. She felt sad and worried about Kisshu. But at the same time, she felt bad for Aoyama as well; she still can't believe he died. She knew Kisshu loved her greatly, but so did Aoyama. He killed himself because of her. Because he wanted her and Kisshu to be together without having him interfering between the two.

But she was angry at him as well; she still hated him for kidnapping her like that and nearly killing her. Nearly killing Kisshu. Kisshu, who was now laying down in her bed. He could have died because of him. He even tried to kill him before in the final battle with Deep Blue. But that wasn't his fault, Ichigo knew that but she felt mad at herself for just sitting there doing nothing to helt them. She had her Mew Mew powers then, so there was no excuse.

Ryou came into the room soon, when nearly everyone had finished eating.

'What's wrong?' Zakuro asked him.

'It's him.'

'Kisshu?' What about Kisshu?' Ichigo asked.

'He has woken up,' Ryou replied.

'What?' Ichigo stopped eating and stood up.

So everyone went to the room Kisshu was in to see if he was alright. Ichigo slowly walked into the room. And just like Ryou said, Kisshu was awake. He was still laying down in the bed but his bright, golden eyes were open, shining like always.

'Kisshu,' Ichigo whispered, nearly in tears seeing him like that.

Kisshu slowly turned around and looked at everyone who were coming in the room. He smiled at Ichigo when he saw her.

'Kisshu! You are awake!' Taruto came running into him and grinned.

Kisshu looked at him for a moment before grinning back at him.

'Finally, you are awake,' Mint gave a small sigh of relief, 'you don't know how much Ichigo was worried about you.'

Kisshu gave a small laugh and Ichigo glared at Mint, wishing she would keep her mouth shut.

'We should all give him some rest,' Pie told everyone.

Keiichiro nodded in agreement, 'he is still weak, so we should let him rest until he is ready to stand up.'

'Hey, I am fine…' Kisshu protested.

'No you aren't, we won't be able to go back to our planet with you in this state. So just stay in bed for a few days,' Pie told him.

'Fine,' Kisshu groaned. he hated staying in bed, it get boring easily and he hates having nothing to do.

Ryou opened the door, to let everyone out of the room.

'You can stay with him for a while if you like,' Ichigo's mum whispered in her ear.

Ichigo smiled at her, 'thanks, mum.'

Ichigo has been waiting for Kisshu to wake up and she really was hoping to talk to him. Tell him that everyone is alright. Everything will be fine. She wanted to tell him that she still loved him and that she was sorry that he had to suffer so much because of her.

Everyone went out of the room, leaving Ichigo and Kisshu alone.

Ichigo slowly walked over to him and sat down.

Kisshu slowly got himself up, ignoring the pain in his stomach, 'I am fine, really.'

Ichigo sighed, 'you aren't fine.'

'You are here now, so I am fine.'

Kisshu kissed Ichigo's hand and pulled herself to him to give her a hug.

'I am just so sorry about everything,' Ichigo whispered.

'No,' Kisshu held her tightly, not letting her go, 'don't apologise, it's fine.'

Ichigo hugged him back, 'why do you always keep getting hurt because of me?'

'It's not because of you.'

'Yes it is because of me, it's all my fault.'

Kisshu stayed quiet and kissed her forehead lovingly.

'I love you,' Kisshu whispered.

'I love you too.'
