Koneko... Koneko... Koneko... Koneko~
The word replayed itself over and over in his mind. It was hard to think about anything else, even after this long.
Do you love me, Koneko-chan?
"Who could ever love you, Kisshu?"
Don't be like that, Koneko-chan. You can see that no one will interest you like I do.
"I have Masaya."
Tree-hugger still, huh? How long has it been since he did anything new, Koneko-chan? Anything interesting?
"He.. doesn't have anything to prove to me. I love him."
You're infatuated with the notion of a knight in shining armor, Koneko-chan.
"Kisshu..."
Admit it, Koneko-chan. You want me.
"I... K-Kisshu...!"
Shh, don't worry Koneko-chan. I'll make sure you forget all about him...
A smirk of satisfaction crossed those pale features, golden eyes opening to stare at the bland iron-hued ceiling of his bedroom. Pleasant fantasies still swirled around his thoughts, collecting power until they overwhelmed him. How long had this one been dominant? His Koneko-chan was so cute when she refused him, but refusal could only go so far. He had grown impatient, wanting. She was waiting for him back on Earth.
Ahh, how frustrating! The green-haired alien rolled onto his stomach, burying his face into his pillow. Reconstruction had taken the better part of four years. Their planet had been turned into a mirror of paradise. They no longer had to live underground, scrounging for enough resources. Pai, Taruto, and Kisshu had been regarded as heroes when they had returned with the Mew Aqua.
It was an unsatisfying return. Working on the reformation project garnered him no satisfaction. His thoughts ran around a certain redhead and her angry chocolate brown eyes. She had been his one regret in leaving Earth. He wanted to bring her with him, to show her his saved world. The world she had helped in restoring to the paradise they had left behind. He had been unable to force her apart from that horrid Masaya. Damn tree-hugger. He didn't deserve her. He was boring, bland, and potentially dangerous. Though the human aspect of Deep Blue had been returned, he still didn't trust the boy at all. What if something happened to make him go berzerk and he wasn't there to save Ichigo?
Frustration brought a growl to his lips, the sound not unnoticed by Pai. The elder alien stood there in the doorway to Kisshu's bedroom, staring at his comrade silently. Sensing another's presence the alien sat up in bed, facing his partner. The two held each other's gazes, one stubbornly unwilling to talk at the moment and the other weighing his options. Eventually Pai turned in the door, glancing back over his shoulder briefly.
"We're going back. Pack your things."
It took several minutes after Pai had left for the green-haired alien to comprehend what had just been said. A slow, wide grin spread across his features, those golden eyes lighting up in excitement. Back. They were going back. He was going to get his Koneko-chan!
"Well it's about damn time."
