Feelings

By KaintheDragoon

I looked over at Kiki. I knew what she was going through. I had the same experience
as a painter. I had comforted her, but that's all I could do. I wish I could do more for
her. I felt strange; there was this odd feeling in my stomach.

"Thanks.", she said smiling. "I have to find my own inspiration. I release that
now. If it wasn't for you, I'd... well..."

I put my hand onto hers. I gave a reassuring smile back.

"You're welcome."

I closed my eyes and smiled again. It was nice to be with her, to comfort her, to
talk with her. She was a person who you'd want to be with.

Then I felt something touch my lips. It was warm, soft. It had this strange feeling
to it, and yet it felt familiar. I open my eyes, and my eyes widened.

Kiki.

Her eyes were closed tightly, her face showed a look on her face, it was serious, but
it also revealed a scared look. The feeling I had suddenly became clearer. She opened her
eyes, and her face went blank, her emotions showed that of a scared child.

"I...I'm sorry."

Tears ran off her face.

"I didn't mean to..."

I smiled, and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"I didn't mean to..."

"It's OK, I said."

"I...I felt strange the first time I met you, like I knew you, like I wanted to be part
of you. My emotions are clearer because I'm with you." The tears ran down her cheek again.
She put her face down, so it wouldn't face me. "It probably sounds strange to you."

"Not really.", I said, "I feel the same way too."

Her face went up to meet mine.

I turned my head towards the window.

"Sometimes, I have this feeling, this feeling of loneliness out of nowhere, I can't
explain it. Then I think of you and it disappears."

Her eyes widened.

The feeling I had made sense now. I couldn't believe it. I had to say it. I turned
my head towards her.

"I think I'm in love with you. I mean I was going crazy. I wanted to see you again,
that's why I came. I didn't know what happened to you, but I knew you must have been in pain.
I wanted to help you, I don't know it I did or not." The words were pouring out of my mouth, I
didn't want to stop. "I love you Kiki, ever since we first met, this feeling I had has been
bugging me."

The quietness lasted for a while. Kiki had this look on her face I couldn't describe.

I broke the silence.

"I know this sounds strange..."

"I love you too.", she said quietly.

I reached over and she let my lips touch hers. Her eyes closed. It lasted for several
minutes. When we parted lips both of us were smiling.

"I feel the same way."

I moved my hand gently through her hair.

I knew I had fallen in love with her. No matter what happened, I would be there for
her.

No matter what, I will protect you.

I smiled

No matter what I will love you.

Author's notes: Hopefully this story will make sense. Someone mentioned Kiki's Delivery Service
on the board, and I found it intriguing. This takes place when Kiki goes over to Ursula's to
sleep over. If it doesn't make any sense, sorry. But I hope you enjoyed it anyways. There's
another story about Kiki and Ursula, hopefully it will be written soon, if the final paper for
college doesn't kill me first...
