Well here we go chapter 2, I'm going to try to make this fanfic not as long as my other main one Kish vs. Keitaro (please read it, not a bad review yet!)
Don't own tmm, but I do own Aikou!
----------------
Aikou lay on her bed thinking of Kish. She smiled to herself, thinking about the look on his face when she had kissed him. How she'd gotten the guts to do that she had no idea, but she was glad she had. She loved him with all her heart and had done for a long time now. But she knew it would never happen between them. She knew Kish better than she knew herself, and she could tell he was still in love with Ichigo no matter what he said. Aikou sighed, remembering the first time she had met Ichigo. It had been at an art club, one year ago…
The door opened to revile a petit red haired girl who was laughing joyfully, her arms linked with a tall, handsome boy with dark hair. She smiled up at him lovingly and their joy seemed to illuminate the room. Aikou grinned, she enjoyed seeing those in love, it made her think that she would one day be like that. The girl looked around the room and walked over to Aikou.
"Excuse me, have you seen Mr Stevens?" Her voice was sweet and high, with a trace of a giggle that Aikou later learned never left.
"Sure, Sensei just went to resources. He should be back in a few minutes." Aikou replied, intrigued by this strange girl, who she had never set eyes on before.
"Thanks, by the way I'm Momomiya Ichigo, and this is Aoyama Masaya." The girl said, gestering the the boy she was with.
"Hello." He said, nodding towards Aikou, his voice was very different to Ichigo's, it was steady and polite, a voice that would be good in time of emergency, as it made you feel calm.
"Hey, I'm Antai Aikou. It's nice to meet you, Momomiya-san, Aoyama-san." Aikou replied, smiling at the new comers. "Are you both new to the school? I haven't seen either of you before."
"Yep!" Ichigo said cheerfully "Me and Masaya transferred here yesterday. We've just returned from an exchange in England!"
"Wow that must have been good…" Aikou said, but as soon as the words had left her mouth Mr Stevens, her art teacher had walked in the door. "Oh, Sensei is here, he's the one in the blue shirt, ok?" Ichigo and Masaya both looked round to the teacher and smiled back at Aikou in thanks.
"Thank you Antai-san!" They both chanted.
"Your welcome." Aikou whispered as they walked off.
"Aikou!"
Aikou looked round and saw Kish walking in the room, waving at her. She gestured for him to come over, and he sat beside her and looked down on the painting Aikou had been doing.
"Wow, I swear you get better everyday!" Kish said astounded at Aikou's painting, his compliments making Aikou beam.
"Sensei gave me an A for this." She said proudly.
"Don't blame him!" Kish said laughing, he put his arm round Aikou, and looked around the room.
"What the?" Kish said suddenly. Aikou felt him go stiff, and wandered what had made the colour drain from Kish's face.
"What's wrong?" Aikou said worriedly.
"It can't be, not her…" Kish said, gazing through the window of the staff room, where you could clearly see a dash of bright red hair.
"Do you mean Momomiya-san?" Aikou asked nervously, she had never seen Kish like this before.
"You mean it's really Ichigo?" Kish said his voice straining.
"Yeah, why? Do you know her?" Aikou said, glancing from Ichigo's figure behind the cloudy glass to Kish's face, which was full of pain and tension.
"We have to get out of here!" Kish said hurriedly, grabbing Aikou's hand and pulling her towards the door, but before they could reach it, they heard Ichigo's tinkling laugh, a gasp and a whisper.
"Kish?"
Kish turned to face Ichigo, not meeting her eyes for more than a few seconds, while she gazed spellbound at his face, and Masaya, who was behind Ichigo, had tensed up and was looking at Kish with resentment in his eyes.
"Kish, what's going on?" Aikou said timidly, pulling on the arm of Kish's shirt.
"So it is you." Kish said quietly, now gazing avidly at Ichigo's shocked face.
"Why are you here Kish?" Ichigo stammered, her eyes where bright and the joy in her voice had gone.
"I've been here a while now, but don't worry, I'm not here to do harm." Kish said coldly, once again taking Aikou's hand and dragging her out the door and away from Ichigo's terrified face.
Aikou later found out about how Kish had been in love with her before he had transferred to Aikou's school. But Ichigo hadn't loved him. Kish never really said anymore than that, and Aikou knew better than to ask him again.
But as time passed Ichigo and Kish began to ignore each other, and where able to cope being in the same school. But every time Ichigo walked into a room, Aikou could still see a hint of pain in Kish's eyes. And she didn't like that.
-------
Kish walked through the door of this home, a regular house at a first look, but there was a basement that not even Aikou knew of, where Pai spent most of his time, communicating with their home planet.
Kish went into the kitchen and turned on the tap, the sound of rushing water echoing around the empty room. He took a glass out of a cabinet and went to fill it up, but Pai had appeared in the doorway with an evil grin on his face.
"Come." He said
"No." Kish replied simply, keeping his back to Pai even though he could keep the red hot glare of Pai's eyes on his back.
"You're going to help."
"No I'm not."
"You can't resist it Kish. You have to."
"No I don't!" Kish span round in anger at face Pai, who was watching coolly Kish with amusement.
"Yes you do." Pai walked over to Kish and paused. Watching Kish pant from anger, looking up into Pai's face with hatred.
"And you will." Pai whispered, slapping Kish with such force that Kish flew across the room and into a table. Pai laughed quietly and walked out.
"No I won't…" Kish said quietly, rubbing the blood away from his mouth. Glaring at the place that Pai had stood moments before. "You can't make me. I won't do it."
Kish got up and walked over to the door his lip still bleeding, there was a sharp pain in his leg from where he had collided with the table. As Kish looked down he could see a bruise forming and he could feel it starting to swell.
Kish teleported up to his room and locked it, even though it would make no difference.
He collapsed onto his bed and moaned in pain. Pai was strong, and that slap had hurt.
Kish rolled over and looked at the time, and with dread saw that it was 7:50. Aikou would be here soon.
"Crap!" Kish yelled, if Aikou came over then she would see him like this and ask questions, but there was also no telling what Pai may do to Aikou, especially after the last time she had come round when he had been in a bad mood.
That was another reason why he hated Pai. He treated Aikou like dirt just because she accepted Kish, but mostly because she was a human.
Kish ran to his door, and quickly unlocked it and sprinted down the stairs to their phone. Panicking he prayed that Aikou hadn't already left, but the ringing kept going and eventually clicked onto answer machine.
"Shit!" Kish said, throwing down the phone and running back upstairs to try to ring Aikou on her mobile, but as soon as he grabbed the tiny device, to his horror the doorbell rang.
"Hello Pai-san." Kish could hear Aikou from downstairs, and quickly he ran to the banisters, if Pai laid a finder on her, he would kill him.
"Aikou-chan…" Pai said slowly grinning evilly making Aikou's smile slide off her face. "Do come in."
Aikou stepped over the doormat and into the room, looking around for sight of Kish.
"Kish!" Aikou's voice went high as she saw Kish's battered form looking down on her "Kish, what happened?" She shrieked running towards Kish, but a sharp hand grabbed at her hair and pulled her back making her scream in pain.
"You stay here." Pai said coolly, yanking the girl's hair harshly.
"Pai you bastard let her go!" Kish yelled sprinting down the stairs to Aikou's defence.
"Stay where you are Kish, or I will make her suffer." Pai said, yanking again on Aikou's hair, making her cry out.
Kish froze, he didn't want Aikou to get hurt, but if he tried to save her, Pai would hurt her even more.
"Please Pai," Kish stammered fearfully "Please, let her go."
Pai shook his head and started to walk away still holding Aikou's hair so she was forced to follow him.
"I may need her, for an experiment." Pai said icily.
"Pai let her go!" Kish yelled, running after the tall alien and the whimpering girl. "What has she done to you?"
"Ok then." Pai said suddenly, dropping Aikou's hair, making her fall to the ground and clutch her head. Kish ran to her side, and put his arms round her, protecting her from Pai.
"I have one condition." Pai whispered his voice barely audible over Aikou's sobs. "You will cooperate. Understand." Pai's eyes where fixed on Kish's, clearly saying, I will kill her if you say no.
"…Fine." Kish stammered, looking away from Pai's piercing gaze.
"Good." And with that Pai walked out the room.
"Oh Aikou," Kish said hugging the shaking girl close "I'm sorry, I'm so so so so sorry!"
"It's o-ok, K-kish." Aikou stammered, looking up to smile at Kish but there where tears in her eyes.
"Oh, Aikou…" Kish said, feeling horrid, if only he had rang her sooner. "Here." Kish looked at the doorway Pai had disappeared into, and quickly picked Aikou up, and stated to carry her to the door. Responding slowly, Aikou wrapped her arms around Kish's neck and hid her face in his chest.
"I'm so sorry…" Kish whispered, burying his face in her hair. "I can't believe I let this happen."
"It's not your fault Kish." Aikou said, her voice muffled. "I don't blame you, anyone but you."
When they eventually reached Aikou's house, with many strange glances from passers by, as it would have been weird to see a beaten up boy carrying a crying girl.
"Can you stand Aikou?" Kish said, glancing at the locked door which would be difficult to get into if Aikou didn't unlock it.
"Sure." Aikou said smiling up at Kish. After Kish put her down and Aikou fumbled with her keys for a while, they were inside.
"Next time, we should watch the film round mine." Aikou said as she collapsed onto a sofa.
"Yeah, defiantly." Kish said, laughing weakly.
Aikou looked at Kish, making Kish's heartbeat race. Kish joined her on the sofa and put his arm round her small body.
"I'm so sorry for what Pai did." Kish said, unable to meet Aikou's eye.
"Stop saying that." Aikou said, moving closer to Kish and placing her head on his chest. "It's not your fault." She closed her eyes. Kish looked down on her and started to stroke her hair. Thinking. If he did fight against the earth then Aikou would find out the truth. He didn't want that to ever happen, what would she say if she found out? Kish put a hand to his ears, which as normal, where small and human like.
If she found out she would reject him.
But if he didn't fight, Pai would hurt her.
Kish sat quietly for a while, despairing about his dilemma, and feeling Aikou breath steadily on his torso.
An abrupt banging on the door made both Kish and Aikou jump. Aikou got up and whispered to Kish that she would just see who it was.
As Aikou, moved towards the door, she felt relieved as through the glass she could not see Pai, but a tall, blonde haired boy wearing a black leather jacket and white trousers.
Aikou opened the door to greet the stranger.
"Yes, may I help you?" She said cheerfully, all thought of Pai completely forgotten.
"Antai Aikou?" The boy said, his startling blue eyes boring down into Aikou's face.
"Y-yes?"
"I'm Ryou Shirogane. It's urgent that we talk, in private."
"What?"
"Look here's my card," The boy named Ryou handed Aikou a small pink card with the words Ryou Shirogane – Café Mew Mew on it."Come tomorrow at 3pm. Alone. Please say you will."
Aikou was confused, a strange but handsome boy was telling her to go to some café and talk to him, in private? Why was it so urgent?
"Please." Ryou said giving Aikou a dazzling smile that left Aikou even more baffled.
"Um, ok." Aikou said and with that Ryou smiled, glanced around and left, leaving the bewildered girl standing in the doorway.
