A/N: Hello, everyone! I know that I already let the first chapter of 'History Repeats, Almost' since one of my stories is almost finished but I cannot stop my feelings and ideas. I heard this one song and I desperately wanted to write the first chapter for this story. So this will be story number two when I'm done with my current three stories, which in fact two of them are not even close to finishing, and I'm thinking about number three. I would also like to know which new story of the two that I'm letting out is the best. So I need a vote. I'll send out the second chapter of the winning story, which I have already completed because of the new songs I hear, when chapter number 20 of 'Wounded Hearts' is out, when 'The Truth is Speaking to You, Ichigo' is done, and when chapter number 21 of 'You're a Girl' is out.

That's my announcements and please vote! I do NOT own TMM or the songs I use in my stories. Thank you for the wonderful reviews and please keep them coming! Thank you and please enjoy!

Death Separates, Songs Unite

Ch. 1: Always With You

Sob

Sob

Sob

In an abandoned building with decaying wood barley blocking the windows, the air dusty and moldy, and the light shining through only a broken window, there is Mew Ichigo and a body. The light is shining on her back and she's sobbing. She has a few cuts on her arm and legs and her dress is a bit dirtied, but that's not why she's crying. She's crying because she's sitting next to a body that just recently died.

On the body, there are pieces of broken glass on the back and bruises started to form around the body. However, the cause of death is a broken iron pipe that went right through him. He's in a pool of his own blood and Ichigo's knees are just barely touching it. Her dress has a few drops of his blood and there's a pipe size bruise forming on her back.

The person who died right in front of her was someone who protected her. This person took the pipe for her if she had crashed into the window without him behind her. This person confessed his love with his dying breath. This person kissed Ichigo one last time. This person is not the Blue Knight. This person was her enemy.

Before…

"This is mine! You can't have her!!" Kisshu yells. The Blue Knight turns around to see where Kisshu teleported to and he's behind Ichigo with his arms around her.

Ichigo is surprise by his sudden appearance. "Kisshu?!"

He looks at her with a grin and tells her, "Today, you will be mine." Then he kisses her cheek and she turns red from his touch.

"No! Get off!" she screams. That angers the Blue Knight.

Taruto yells from the sky, "Kisshu! Stop fooling around!"

He mumbles, "Yeah, yeah." Then he teleports from behind Ichigo to behind the Blue Knight. When he noticed, Kisshu has his Sai ready to slice him in half. But with his speed, the Blue Knight was able to block it before it even scratched him. Then Ichigo got her own problems when Taruto and Pai attacked with their kirema anima.

It started as another aliens vs. Mew Mews battle day. As usual, the aliens would be attacking the city with some ugly kirema anima that was created from a human's spirit and a parasite. Then when Ichigo was in critical danger, the Blue Knight appears and saves her; making Kisshu fairly jealous. Now it's a personal duel with Kisshu and the Blue Knight while the Mew Mews are fighting the other aliens. Then things started to get worst.

Kisshu swings his Sai down and the Blue Knight blocks it. He pushes him back and Kisshu goes flying but he comes right back. But before he got too close, they hear Ichigo's scream. They look and they see the kirema anima grab Ichigo with its tentacle and it looks like it's going to throw her. It did.

"Ichigo!" her friends scream as she goes flying towards an abandoned building.

Kisshu got scared real fast. The Blue Knight runs past him but Kisshu got there faster by teleporting in front of the building, where Ichigo will be crashing. Taruto and Pai see him.

Taruto screams, "Kisshu!!"

Then in one second he was there and the next, Ichigo crashes into him and they both went flying into the abandoned building, Kisshu hitting the glass window first. Both Pai and Taruto panicked but before they could move, the Blue Knight is right in front of them and he looks crazy with rage. He raises his sword above him and he got ready to swing it down on them. They teleport away before the sword hit them.

When Ichigo wakes up the first thing she feels is a bad pain on her back. 'Ow! This really hurts,' she thinks, fluttering her eyes open.

Then she feels arms around her. They tighten around her and she hears a voice in her ear whisper, "Is my little kitten okay?" Immediately, she recognizes the voice as Kisshu.

Freaked out, she pushes him away and tells him, "Get off me!"

She hears him wince and then mumbles, "Can you please not push me so hard, koneko-chan?" His voice sounds clouded with pain. She became confused as she looks towards him and her eyes widen with shock and her pupils got small.

Ichigo sees the pieces of the glass from the window on his back and she sees the broken pipe sticking out from his chest coming from within a fallen pillar. Ichigo is dead shock as it looks like Kisshu is trying to breathe. A puddle of blood starts growing under him and his hair gets dipped in it. Ichigo is shaking from the sight as Kisshu looks up at her with weak golden amber eyes.

Kisshu grins at her and asks, "What's with the face, kitty?" Even his voice sounds as weak as his eyes. Ichigo starts freaking out.

"Oh my god! Kisshu! Hold still, okay? Help will come! Pai and Taruto will come and they'll heal you soon! Just hang on! Don't you dare die on me!" She looks at the worst wound and lifts his shirt up a bit to see the pipe and it looks really bad. She didn't know what to do. Her gloved hand goes to her face and covers her mouth. She asks him, "Kisshu, please tell me! What do I have to do? You'll die at this rate!"

Surprising her, his hand reaches for her face and she sits still while his weak, shaky hand strokes her cheek. He smiles this time and tells her, "You don't have to do anything but stay this close. I don't mind if I die so long you're here."

She doesn't get it. She just doesn't get it.

"Why?" she asks. "Why did you save me? Why did you do it?! I don't get it." She's facing the ground when she screams that.

His answers, "It's because I love you that's why." Her head snaps up to look at him as he tells her, "And because I love you, I can't help but protect you when you're in trouble." That was when she started crying. Tears started leaking out of the corner of her eyes and they roll down her cheeks like crystal balls. She can't help but let them out and Kisshu is surprise to see them. Is she…crying for him?

Without another word, Kisshu tries to use the last of his strength to move his hand to the back of her head and pull her down. She's surprise but not as much when he pressed his lips to her. She remains there frozen until he breaks the kiss and smiles at her again. He tells her, "Thank you for tears, kitty. I'll always be with you; watching over you and protecting you from any danger." Bigger tears started to fall from her eyes as it looks like his eyes are getting heavy. He mumbles, "See ya…Ichigo."

Then his eyes closed and his hand drops from her face. Her eyes grew wide as, to her, his hand slowly falls to the ground and it lands with a thumb on the ground and his own blood. His chest is still and his face looks peaceful. Ichigo didn't want to believe it.

"KISSSHU!!!!"

Now…

Ichigo is still crying over the dead alien's body. Her tears seem endless and she can tell that the fight is long over. With Pai and Taruto gone and the Blue Knight on a rampage, the kirema anime became easy bait. Right now, the fight didn't matter. All that matter was the dead alien in front of her.

She mumbles, "Who asked you?" She lowers her hands and she screams, "NO ONE ASKED YOU TO DIE SO WHY?!!!" Of course she remembers his words but she didn't want to believe that that was the only reason why he died protecting her. She didn't want to believe it.

Meanwhile, Pai and Taruto are in the ship and things were quiet between them. The only sounds are the sounds of typing in the computer that Pai is doing and the sobs coming from Taruto. Pai goes to several documents while his face has no tears; just depression for a lost comrade.

Finally, Taruto mumbles, "It's their fault." Pai looks over his shoulders to Taruto as he continues to blame, "It's those Mew Mews fault. They killed Kisshu. It's their fault, it's their fault, it's their fault, it's their fault!"

Pai looks back at the screen and tells him, "Calm your hatred, Taruto. We will have our revenge." Taruto tries to do that. He tries to stop crying as he looks up to what Pai's doing.

"What are you doing?" he asks, unable to figure it out.

Pai answers, "We need reinforcements if we desire revenge for what the humans did to our planet and to Kisshu. Besides, I believe that someone deserves to know of what happened to him." Taruto shivers when he realizes who Pai is talking about.

Trying to make sure, Taruto asks, "You mean…him?"

Pai nods. "Yes."

"We're getting a signal!" an alien exclaims. His comrades look at him in surprise as he reads the reading of the signal. "It's coming from Pai on earth."

One alien asks, "Pai?!"

The other alien nods and presses a few buttons. Then on the bigger screen for the others to see, Pai is there and they see Taruto on the ruin stairs over his shoulder. Pai greets, "Video message from Pai on planet earth."

One alien asks, "Pai! Have you completed the mission?!" All of the aliens look at him in a hopeful way but Pai shakes his head in disagreement.

"I'm afraid that it is taking us longer to retrieve earth from the humans than we anticipated. However, that is not why I'm contacting you. I wish to speak with Flamiche. It's urgent." From the look on his face and the sound of his tone, they are all greatly concern. One alien goes and teleports away.

Moments later, that same alien comes back through teleportation with a different alien. This alien looks at Pai and asks, "Pai, what's wrong? What urgent business do you wish to speak with me?"

Now comes the hard part and it looks like it's even giving Pai a hard time to say. "Flamiche, I'm afraid to say this but…What I'm trying to say is." He stops himself before he could cause confusion.

Flamiche started to get a bit cautious and a bad feeling started to erupt in his stomach. He quickly asks, "Tell me, Pai! How is Kisshu? Is he well?"

Pai lets out a sigh. It's now or never. Pai has on a blank face as he tells Flamiche and his people with the driest voice they ever heard from him, "I'm afraid that Kisshu has passed. He died in battle between the Mew Mews and us."

Most of the aliens gasp in shock of that. Kisshu…is dead? The only one who didn't gasp and is shaking with disbelief is Flamiche. His eyes are huge and he's trembling. He asks, "H-He's dead? My little brother is…dead?"
