Hi! This'll make you sad (maybe) but this is the last chapter in this story! Don't be too upset though… 'cause if you liked this story then to let you know I am putting up the first chapter in the sequel story at the same time as I put this chapter up. The sequel is called 'It's been a while' soo ya… enjoy this probably very long chapie!

Also I have not yet done a disclaimer, and I don't wanna get sued (or something) so here goes:

Ambercatlucky2 does not own Tmm or it's original charas (Ichigo, Kish, Lettuce, Pai, Ryou, Keiichiro, Pudding, Tart, Mint, Zakuro, OR deep blue or Masaya) BUT I DO OWN: the plot and idea for the story and the added characters: May, Kizashi, Kiyone, Kookie, and I own the aliens last names cause I came up with them!

Narrator's POV

It had taken some tome but Kish, Tart, and Pai had finally created a teleport hole large enough for the whole group to go through, and they had come out near a town and a mountain; the mountain was guarded by several of the Cyniclons. Kish walked up to one of them,

"Isamu-san" the guard acknowledged (A/N it's Kish's last name, it means: Bravery)

"Guard-san" he greeted back, he was serious not his usually masquerade as a care free person.

"What brings you to the mountain?"

"That is our business but my companions and I need passage into the mountain."

"Hmm…" the guard thought for a moment, "O.k you may enter, but be careful!"

"We will, thank you guard-san." Kish walked back to the others to let them know that they were allowed to come in.

Ichigo's POV

She waited anxiously with the others, then she saw Kish come back to them saying that they were allowed in, she took a step forward but started to fall, luckily Kish caught her before she hit the ground.

"Thanks Kisshu-kun" she whispered, though even that much taxed her energy from her she knew she wouldn't be able to walk this mountain… who was she kidding! She was just extra baggage to them… in fact without her, they wouldn't even be here!

"Hey Kitty~Cat, I'm going to carry you o.k?" Kish told her, not so much as a question but more as a fact, and he did carry her past the guards, and up into the mountains all the way along the path. 'Kisshu, is so…so caring. He's going to all this trouble for me. He, he also died once before because of me… I guess I hadn't realized before, how much he is part of my life or how much he cared.' Ichigo began to fade to the blackness she had grown so used to over the past week, first her vision would ebb black then her thoughts would go blank and she'd be gone, succumbed to the diseases effects.

Kish's POV

He carried his little Kitty up the mountain; it wasn't exactly the easiest thing to do… she was heavier than she looked! Not too much heavier though.

'Strange… how come we haven't encountered a chimera anima yet?' he thought too soon, they were about half way up the mountain when they spotted it; a large chimera anima, with a thick scaly hide and a mane like a lion's, a tail like a serpent's and wings like an eagle it also had a beak, a sharp beak.

Kish placed the ko'd Ichigo on the side of the mountain. Then he summoned his dragon blades and braced himself for the battle.

The chimera anima let out a chilling scream that seemed to puncture right into Kish's being, he shivered even though it was a warm day, then it attacked, he charged forward too.

He dodged the whip-like tail as it tried to smash him, he flew side to side getting closer and closer to it until he was in hitting distance. But that also made him within range of the sharp beak… he quickly dashed forward and stabbed one of his dragon blade deep into the chest of the thing, it screamed again, a light wrapping around it's body slowly dissolving it into nothingness until all that remained was the predasite, which was immediately consumed by that pink thing Masha.

He gingerly picked up Ichigo once more and continued on his way.

"Ugh. Why can't you just teleport or something?" whined Mint

"Because" he explained "the mountain has some weird force that prevents us from doing that, we even have a hard time flying!"

"Oh." Mint shut up after that.

He had to battle rouge chimeras often now, with the occasional help of Pai and Tart, when they were particularly nasty or strong. He knew that they were close now, very close to the top.

Ichigo's POV

She blinked open her eyes to see Kish's face staring at her, where was she?

"Kisshu, where are we?"

"We're at a clearing before we get to the top, we are taking a break right now" he paused before adding, "Are you feeling alright?"

"Yeah Kisshu I- I think I can manage for a while now."

"O.k but if you have any different or negative feelings then tell me."

"O.k"

In truth Ichigo felt like crap, everything in her body seemed to ache and she felt oh so weak, she could even control her ears or tail, they just remained out… not disappearing off of her. Mint had some how gotten some tea up here and had given everybody some.

With her cat ears out she picked up a lot more sounds; a chimera anima that shifted for a moment other wise completely undetectable, it was not to far from the camp. And was that the soft whoosh of a teleport? She was to tired to really care.

When they finally did arrive at the top, there was nothing. Almost, there was an odd design in the ground, but there wasn't any chimera or Pure Aqua! Ichigo felt a little despair, was she ever gonna be healed?

Pudding, despite everyone telling her not to, ran up to the stone design nd began to fiddle with it, Tart's curiosity also got the better of him as he ran and joined her in playing around with it.

Kish's POV

His annoying little cousin and his girlfriend were playing with the carved design in the ground, other then that there was nothing he felt pissed, he had come all the way up here fighting chimera anima and, there was nothing! He also felt sorrow as he realized that the Pure Aqua was not there, meaning he couldn't save his beloved Kitten.

His ears picked up a noise of something grinding or maybe clicking? He faced the two kids, and noticed that the pattern had changed,

"Nice going Tart ya broke it."

"I'm not to sure that it's broken…" there was and tremor in the ground and the sound of stone grating on stone; the design sunk into the ground revealing a hidden passageway.

Everyone was either surprised or amazed; except Zakuro who had gotten over her uncharacteristic behaviour and was stone-faced once more.

"Wow! Lookatthat Taru-Taru!" said pudding

"Yeah it's really something; and STOP CALLING ME THAT!"

"Well Kitty~Cat, Looks like we might have some hope for you after all!" he told her; letting the fact sink in for himself.

"Nya! Thank you Kisshu-kun!" she said with as much energy in her voice as she could manage; which wasn't much.

"wow this must have been here for a long time! I'm surprised no one else has discovered it yet!" Said Lettuce (A/N how does she know no one's found it before…!)

"it's cool…" Pai said

"well I know why nobody's found it before; it's because you guys are kinda dumb; right Zakuro?" Mint scoffed

Zakuro – "…" (A/N I've gotten into a habit of saying 'dot,dot,dot' if I don't really want to answer an uncomfortable question, or if I can't think of an answer…)

"I'm going in; I have to save my Kitty!" announced Kish picking up his backpack and starting for the entrance.

"I'll come with you… this is soo cool it's like a movie or video game… kinda… with the secret stone pattern thing, y'know?" the aliens only stared at Ichigo like 'video game? Movie? What the hell are those?'

Everyone decided to go with them.

As Kish entered the passageway he could hear some odd sounds for an 'abandoned' place, muffled sounds, quiet movements, all things that weren't really supposed to go with this place, he looked over at his Kitten; 'she doesn't seem to notice anything… maybe I'm just hearing things' there was no real way to check though. But he couldn't shake off the feeling of something not being right… but what could it be?

"Yo! Guys I think- I think that there might be something else in here" he said turning to face the group.

"thought so." Said the other two aliens in unison

"I've even picked up a few noises with my cat ears" said Ichigo pointing to her head; she was freaked out because she probably thought there were ghosts so her ears and tail had appeared.

"Hey Kitty-Cat?" Kish asked

"Yea Kisshu?"

"Are you feeling better? 'cause you seem not as weak the farther we go in."

"Yeah something about this place gives me strength; there's a sort of warm feeling that spreads throughout your body that gives you energy and nostalgia, don't you feel it? It's an aqua for sure; and a powerful one at that." she explained, and now that she mentioned it… he did feel a sense of warmth and nostalgia and some extra strength he didn't know he had. It was a good thing; in case he had to battle.

Ichigo's POV

She was feeling better then she had all week! she was happy to be here in this odd tunnel; scared of the possibilities of ghosts but otherwise completely happy!

"BOO!" shouted Tart Teleporting right in front of her all of a sudden,

"!" she screamed; scared almost to death.

"WHY YOU LITTLE MIDGETY FREAK! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" she got out her strawberry bell and aimed it at Tart's head,

"What's that behind you?" he asked. Ichigo couldn't resist looking behind her… her curiosity was too strong… (Meow!) and believe it or not there was something!

It was a chamber that their tunnel led out to. It was very big and all made of stone (duh! I mean they are in a mountain…) in the middle of the room was a white pedestal with marking on it, "the little drawing show a story of the Pure Aqua; how it was created and how it was used… in one picture it showed a Cyniclon using the Aqua to form the predasites and chimera anima; perfect fighting weapons, but unfortunately the creatures were too unpredictable and the strongest ones began to attack their own creators attempting to kill them, so the Pure Aqua was deemed to powerful; To dangerous so they put it in this mountain and sealed it with a patterned riddle" Ichigo realized she had been thinking aloud and opened her mouth to apologize when another voice picked up where she left off,

"And they all but forgot about it, they now guard this mountain but they think they guard it only because of the chimera, how easily they forgot their problems…!"

"Kizashi! Wha- how the hell are you here?" asked Kish.

"It wasn't too hard to figure out, I mean I invented the sickness, do you think I would not know it's cure? So after managing to inject that strawberry I came here, figured out the pattern went inside and closed the entrance knowing the puzzle would reset… so I waited know that little brat cousin of ours and his girlfriend-"

"SHE IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!"

"Well I am a girl and you are my friend… right Taru-Taru?"

He just blushed and simmered in anger

"AS I was saying… after they played with it for a while I knew they would accidentally figure it out and open the doorway… so waited in here… along with some friends…" he motioned to another exit from the room there were thousands of chimera anima.

Ichigo felt sick.

"Oh my god."

"Have fun… I'll wait till your finished off before taking the Pure Aqua and going… it'll be fun watching you die." He smirked flying up to the ceiling.

"oh god" Ichigo whispered; she pulled out her weapon and began to fight.

Kish's POV

He summoned his Dragon blades, and jumped into the fray protecting his Kitty as best as he could but with the influence of the P.A she was doing pretty good even with out his help, they had decided to use their weapons together for stronger attacks; so far it was going pretty good, but there were still hundreds and thousands of them left, he didn't know if they would make it out of there alive, he sure hoped they would though, his mission to make Ichigo his was still not yet complete and as long as he had to do that he would fight, even if he did get her he would still fight to protect his only love. So he fought with all his might slashing and attacking over and over and over.

some time later

he flew up to avoid the chimera for some seconds breathing heavily before racing back into the fight, throwing energy balls from his dragon blades while cutting and blocking and hitting.

Amazingly none of them had gotten any serious injuries only a few small cuts and bruises. They were tiring though even with the P.A's effects of extra strength and energy, but lucky for them there were only a hundred or so left, still their attacks weren't as strong or constant, while the chimera remained as strong as before. He sighed was this a hopeless fight? He knew what a hopeless or near hopeless fight was like; he'd been fighting one ever since he'd been on this planet; since the first time he had seen Ichigo.

Ichigo's POV

As far as things went… this was bad, like really bad. She was begging to feel her sickness' effects returning, she felt nauseated and weakened, she need to finish this quickly then take out Kizashi, he was the one responsible for this mess.

She could sense the Crystalline Pure Aqua, it resonated within her, she needed to try to tap into that seemingly endless energy to win this battle. She took a chance by closing her eyes, leaving herself completely defenseless to the chimera animas. She began to sync with it feeling herself rise into the air, she felt the P.A it was an ancient wise feeling, sort of like a being that has been alive all this time… but it couldn't be alive…? Right?

She opened her eyes, everyone else had stopped what they were doing and was looking expectantly at her she began to glow a pink light she felt herself transforming into her Pure Aqua transformation, her normal mew battle costume was replaced with the Pure Aqua battle costume (mentioned in chapter 9 'she rescued herself mostly') her hair grew out and turned strawberry red her ears and tail appeared like before they seemed bigger (her ears while her tail was longer furred and had nothing on it). Her boots transformed into the heels, she raised her weapon high

"PURE BELL STRAWBERRY BEAM!" she wiped out the chimera animas in one hit, then Masha went around eating all of them, everyone was stunned that she had managed to defeat all of the enemies at one time.

"y-y-You annoying little pest! How dare you interfere with my plan!" shouted Kizashi flying at her palms raised preparing to blast her with one of his really big energy balls; like the one he hit Kish with that time.

"I won't let you be evil! Nya~!" she stood her ground er… air and lifted the crystalline Pure Aqua above her head, as he was about to smash into her with his attack she cried,

"CRYSTAL AQUA ENTRAMPMENT!" Kizashi's eyes widened as he realized that she had never meant to attack him, instead he was drawn into the Pure Aqua; trapped until someone decided to work out a way to bring him back. She lowered to the ground; perfectly healthy, being with the P.A had healed her from her sickness.

Kish took the pink crystal from her and produced a gold chain and put it on it; a necklace. Ichigo allowed him to untie the chocker she had worn that had constantly reminded her of Masaya's 'love' for her, she let it fall to the ground forgotten as Kish put this new necklace around her neck, his symbol that he would be there for her; that he loved her, she supposed.

"Kish, sometimes you can be an annoying pain in the ass"

"Gee thanks."

"But you got your moments" she smiled

He smiled turning to walk away.

"Hey Kisshu!"

"Yeah Kitty~Cat?"

She grinned "That's My Kitty~Cat for you!"

His eyes widened as he realized the truth of what she was saying.

"Hey Kisshu, Yes, I answer Yes to your question from the Tokyo tower… I'm yours."
