"Ichigo, where'd you go kitty?" Kish had once again attacked. Only, this time, he attacked Ichigo directly.
Well, it was more a flying hug than an attack. She was on her back, with Kish staring down at her none the less.
"I went to take a walk, I didn't feel like fighting you this morning." She'd been fighting with Kish for half an hour and she wasn't getting anywhere. So, she just walked off, leaving Kish confused.
"Aw, is my pretty little kitty getting tired?" he asked playfully.
No matter how hard she struggled to get up, it was no use. Kish's hands had wrapped around her wrists tightly, but not tight enough to hurt her.
"Please just go away, it's too hot to fight." she muttered. The flushed red expression on her face told Kish right away that something was wrong.
"Kitty, I'll ask you once very calmly; Are you feeling sick? If so, then I'll teleport you home and tuck you into bed. But, if you lie and say you're alright, I'll check. So, please don't lie." his voice had been filled with fear and concern when he'd first seen her walking to work, he knew something was wrong.
"If I tell you the truth and say I'm alright, will you let me go?" she watched as his head bobbed up and down. So, not believing him when he'd said he could check to see if she was sick or not, she muttered. "You don't have to worry Kish, I'm fine." with that she forced one of her happiest faces to replace the growing dizziness that was slowly overpowering her.
"If you say so…" he muttered, as he teleported away.
She had just begun to reach the opening to the park to go to work, when suddenly, the air around her rippled and she found herself teleported away in the safety of two strong arms.
"Wh-where are we-mmmmmmmm" the alien boy lifted his mouth from hers just enough to speak.
"I knew it!" he shouted, his eyes filling with immense anger. Even the tone of voice he used sounded angry. "I knew I shouldn't have ever left, I knew I should've just teleported you home to rest." he muttered to himself more than to Ichigo.
"Kish, don't be so angry, just tell me what's wrong and I'll help you fix it." she soothed calmly, as the room seemed to start to spin.
"You lied! Ichigo, how could you just go and lie to me like this?"
"A-about w-what Kish?" she knew exactly what he was talking about. But, how had he known?
"You know perfectly well about what. I even asked you politely if you were feeling ill, I told you not to lie to me Ichigo." he'd lowered his head, long, soft forest green bangs fell over his saddened amber eyes as they watered.
The tears that he'd shed were now streaked across his face as he sniffed. "Didn't you believe me when I said I cared about you? From what I sensed in that kiss, you're suffering from anemia, and you never told anyone about it."
"I just didn't want anyone to worry, that's all. I mean, I'm supposed to protect this planet with my life. And, even before that, I've always believed that I would do something great one day. And, to be great, I thought that if I got sick, or showed any signs of weakness, it would shatter the dream I've held onto for so long." by this time, Kish had somewhat understood what she felt, and now he knew why she felt that way.
"Well, kitty, you lied to me even when I specifically asked you not to. So, for an effective punishment, you have to let me take care of you. And, if you dare try to run away, or lie and say you feel better, not only will I kiss you and check to see if it's true, but I'll also hold you here longer." after he'd said what his peace, he'd teleported away to make his precious kitty something to make her tummy stop grumbling like mad.
