Sick Day Chapter 1:
Ichigo's Problem
Ichigo was walking down a street near her house. She finally had a day off, and was planning on enjoying it alone. Her parents were out for another two weeks, and so far there had been no alien attacks. Maybe I can hang out with Aoyama-kun later! she thought.
She was so absorbed in her little daydream about her (annoying) boyfriend, that she didn't notice the green-haired (and extremely hot) alien boy floating above her.
That is, until he glomped her from behind, causing her ears and tail to pop out. "NYAAA!" she shrieked, turning to glare at her worst enemy. Kisshu just smirked and said, "Hi Koneko-chan, did I startle you?"
"What do you think!?" Ichigo yelled. "Why can't you just leave me alone?"
"Because I love you, and I don't want to leave you alone," Kisshu said. As usual, because he was smirking, Ichigo didn't take him seriously.
"Where are your friends?" Ichigo asked. "Aren't you here to kidnap me?"
"I'm here to have fun!" Kisshu said, as he glomped her again, this time causing them both to fall to the ground, Kisshu on top. Seeing this as an opportunity, Kisshu pinned Ichigo's wrists down, laughing.
Meanwhile, a street away: Pai and a reluctant Taruto were searching for Kisshu, who had disappeared again. "That idiot is always after the cat Mew," Pai grumbled. "When is he going to learn that she doesn't like him?"
"Beats me," Taruto said. "He's kind of like Mew Pudding is with me- except Mew Pudding isn't a complete pervert."
Pai rolled his eyes. "I think you have feelings for her too," he said. "I wonder what would happen if Mew Ichigo ever returned Kisshu's feelings?"
"He'd be over the moon- and start in on us, telling us that he was right and we were wrong," Taruto said. "I kinda hope it never happens."
"He's pretty depressed about her, though," Pai said. "Do you think we should do anything?"
"No," Taruto said. "What about you and the fish?"
Pai looked away and said, "I have no clue what you're talking about, Taruto."
"Liar, liar, pants on fire!" Taruto sang.
Pai looked at him oddly, but before he could comment on Taruto's latest bit of Earth knowledge, a girl screamed nearby, "KISSHU! GET OFF!"
Pai and Taruto looked at each other. "Well, we found him," Pai said. "Let's go, Taruto." The two aliens teleported to the sound of Ichigo's screaming.
Back with Ichigo and Kisshu: Ichigo was struggling to get away from Kisshu, when she heard teleportation sound nearby. Great… my day is getting worse by the minute, she thought, as Pai and Taruto appeared in her line of vision. To her surprise, they didn't immediately attack, despite the fact Kisshu had her pinned down. They didn't even get their weapons out.
Kisshu looked up sharply, seeing his brothers floating overhead. "I suppose you came to ruin my fun?" he asked- just as Ichigo managed to jam her knee into his stomach. This caused him to let go of her and back up. As Ichigo got up, Kisshu started coughing, hard. Ichigo surprised herself by saying, "Uh… Kisshu, are you okay?"
Kisshu stopped coughing, and said, "I feel really bad…."
That's when Ichigo noticed Kisshu's cheeks were flushed. She went to him and put her hand on his forehead. Her eyes widened. "Kisshu, y-you're burning up!" she said.
Kisshu looked at her- and then collapsed. Ichigo caught him before he hit the pavement, noticing out of the corner of her eye that Pai and Taruto had landed and were coming over. She looked over at them, and said, "I think he has the flu, he's got a really high fever, and as you could tell, a pretty bad cough too." She sighed, then said, "I have medicine at my house, you all might as well come with me."
"Wait, why?" Taruto asked.
"Do you want to catch it too?" Ichigo asked. "The medicine will help Kisshu, and make him less likely to get us sick. The flu is a very contagious disease. If you bring him back to your ship or whatever, you'll probably get sick too."
"I don't want to get sick," Taruto said. "Fine, let's go."
Pai sighed. "I thought you didn't like Kisshu," he said to Ichigo.
"I don't, but that doesn't mean I want him to get sick," Ichigo said. "The flu is much worse than just a cold. If you don't treat it properly, you could die."
Pai sighed again and said, "Fine, I'll come too."
Ichigo picked up Kisshu, and started walking. Her house wasn't very far away, and they soon reached it. Ichigo took her key out, and opened the door. She took Kisshu upstairs, and sighed. "Are you two staying as well?" she asked Pai and Taruto.
"Can we?" Taruto asked.
"I suppose," Ichigo sighed. "I do need some help. Pai, you're in the guest bedroom, and Taruto gets the couch. I'll put Kisshu in my room." Without waiting for a response, she took Kisshu to her room and tucked him into her bed. Then she ran to the bathroom and got a washcloth. She soaked it in ice cold water, wrung it out, and brought it back to her room, where she put it on Kisshu's forehead. He was still unconscious.
Pai and Taruto came in a minute later, and Pai said, "What's next?"
"The medicine I have shouldn't be taken on an empty stomach," Ichigo said. "I'll go make some soup, you two stay here and watch him- unless you want to help."
"I'll help, but keep Pai away from anything you're cooking," Taruto said. "He'll poison it."
"Fine, let's go," Ichigo said. "Pai, stay here."
Pai glared but nodded, and sat down in Ichigo's desk chair.
Another idea. I'm full of them. I hope you like! And review!
