You Stole My Heart

Drabble 1: I'm with you

isn't anyone trying to find me?

Won't somebody take me home?

Ichigo shivered. She was standing on a bridge, waiting for her Mayasa. He had promised to come at 3:00, take her to a fancy dinner and then out to an actual ballroom. But it was now 6:00 and he still wasn't here. It had started to rain a while ago, and she had forgotten her umbrella.

Now her pink dress was soaked, and she was quite cold. She didn't want to wait anymore, especially after she had been stood up for three hours. There were no footsteps signaling his approach, no flashlight on the ground, nothing.

Why isn't he here? Why would he stand me up like this? Ichigo sniffed, crossing her arms over her chest trying to stay warm.

She was sick of waiting. It was like a princess who was waiting in her tower for a prince that had gotten totally lost, before deciding to spend the night somewhere.

"He's never going to come." She decided sadly.

Suddenly, a voice broke the gloom, one she certainly hadn't been expecting. "Kitten?"

Ichigo looked over her shoulder to see Kish of all people...er, aliens, standing on the ground behind her. He was wearing a rain coat and was holding an umbrella. "What are you doing out here?" He asked, curious.

"Nothing," Ichigo said quickly. "Just...waiting for someone."

Kish walked a little closer, fully expecting her to pull away and start calling him a perv again. But she didn't. She just shivered and eyed his umbrella like a hyena would eye a carcass it was about to eat. "I like your dress." He said cautiously.

"Oh...thanks." Ichigo said, surprised, before quickly glancing at her attire. It clung to her body, due to the rain.

"Who are you waiting for?" Kish asked.

"Mayasa." Ichigo replied quietly. "He was going to take me to a dance at 3, but he hasn't shown up at all..."

Kish's eyes narrowed. That mere human dare stand Ichigo up like this? He had never trusted this Mayasa, never. The alien had few doubts that he was out with one of his fangirls, or something like that. However, he forced himself to curb his anger for Ichigo. "Oh, that's too bad."

"It was going to be a formal dance at that!" Ichigo cried, suddenly frustrated and upset. "I was so excited about it! And he completely ditched me! I can't believe this!"

"Hey, calm down Kitten." Kish said, putting a hand on her shoulders. Ichigo looked at him, surprised and a little tense. But a few seconds later, and he hadn't done anything. Plus she was dry-er under his umbrella.

"He isn't worth it." The alien said.

"Sure he is!" Ichigo exclaimed. "He's perfect and I don't deserve him and he..."

"No kitten," Kish argued calmly, "he doesn't deserve you. And he has no right to stand you up like this."

Ichigo was quiet. Kish swallowed nervously. "if you'd like, I could try to make it up to you." He suggested.

His kitten eyed him for a minute. "Take me to the movies?"

"Which one?"

"The last Harry Potter?"

"Absolutely." Kish said, although he hadn't the faintest idea what Harry Potter was about. Ichigo grinned and actually HUGGED him!

"Thank you! But please take me home first, I need to change."

Kish grinned. His kitten was hugging him. Suddenly life was going in the right direction.

/Some time later

Kish and Ichigo had paid for the tickets and were now sitting in front row seats, sharing a tub of popcorn and watching the movie.

Kish was fascinated. This "movie" seemed so real. You could see everything happening, and the emotions the people on screen showed seemed very realistic. Everything was realistically portrayed, and he liked it. In the beginning he hadn't really understood human fascination with movies, but now he could understand himself, since he was seeing one right now.

It was also rather rewarding. Ichigo would hide behind him whenever someone died, or something scary started happening, and he had the luxury of holding her and calming her down. Kish realized he was getting father with the object of his affection in these few hours than he had tried to during the whole war. He had simply being using the wrong methods.

When the movie was over, he took Ichigo into the arcade, and they tried out different games. He even won her a small stuffed cat from the famed crane game, which earned him a bone-crushing hug from an ecstatic Ichigo. They went through seventy tokens before Kish ran out of money, which he had borrowed from Pai earlier. At that point, it was 10:00 and he took Ichigo home.

Kish teleported into Ichigo's room and put her down. The pink-haired girl turned and smiled brilliantly at him. "Thanks Kish." She said graciously. "Thanks for the evening, I really enjoyed it."

"You're welcome, kitten." Kish replied.

"Will you come to visit again?" Ichigo asked.

"Only if you want me to." Kish answered seriously.

Ichigo smirked. "Yes, I do. Tomorrow, the zoo, 2:00. Be there! Oh and drag Taruto along. Pudding would LOVE to see him." She said, putting emphasis on the word love.

Kish grinned. "Oh yeah, that is going to be a field day of epic proportions."

Ichigo laughed, before standing up and kissing him on the cheek. "See you tomorrow." She said.

Kish put a hand on his cheek, suddenly seeing double. "Y-Yeah...see you tomorrow." He teleported out and back to his home on the ship. There was a short pause.

It took Pai five hours to get his ears to stop ringing from Kish's joyful, LOUD shout of happiness.
