Chapter Three- When Friends Come Before Love

Pudding's POV:

I ran as fast as I could. My heart was racing and I could hardly breath.

"Taru-Taru! Why! Why didn't you let me stay and help! I could have done something! I would have done anything! I could have used my acrobatic skills! I could have…" Tears broke my thoughts.

I stopped and collapsed on the ground. I was sobbing so much that I could barely manage small gasps of breath.

"Pudding!" I heard Lettuce scream.

She ran over to me and tried to help me stand but my legs were too weak.

"Pudding! What's wrong!" she asked.

I couldn't answer.

"Shirogane-San! Hurry! It's Pudding!"

Ryou and Keiichiro ran out.

"If she doesn't stop crying she's going to choke from the lack of oxygen." Keiichiro said.

"She can't stand. What should we do!" Lettuce asked in a panicked voice.

"We need to get her inside." Ryou said.

He picked me up in his arms.

I couldn't open my eyes or breath.

"I feel like I'm… dying. It feels like I'm falling… slipping away. Someone… help…Taru-Taru… save me… someone catch me…I'm falling…" My thoughts seemed to echo through my head.

Everything went black. I was still falling… slowly. I had a sickening feeling in my stomach.

Then the darkness began to clear away. I could hear someone yelling my name. Then I felt a forced wind go into my lungs. I saw a blurry image above me. Then there was another forced wind. I opened my eyes all the way and could hear the voice clearly. Everything went into focus.

"Pudding! Good, you're awake." Tart said as soon as I opened my eyes.

"Taru-Taru? What… happened?" I asked in a weak voice.

"You past out because you couldn't breath." He said.

"Was that you calling my name?"

"Yea."

"What about the air thing. I felt like someone was forcing me to breath."

He blushed a little.

"You weren't breathing at all so I kind of had to give you mouth to mouth resuscitation."

My face turned bright red.

"Oh great. My first kiss and I wasn't even awake for it."

He laughed a little.

"I almost forgot. What happened at the zoo?" I asked.

"Well… I finally beat the Kerima anima but it was too late for a few of the animals. I'm really, really sorry Pudding but… the monkeys were crushed." He said.

My heart stopped again and I could feel my breath slipping away once again.

"No." I said in a very small voice.

I could feel tears going down my cheeks.

He pulled me into his arms and held me tight while I cried.

"You weren't awake the first time. But you're awake now." He said.

"What are you talking about?" I asked between sobs.

He pulled away and held my chin with one hand. I wasn't sure what he was doing until his lips were pressed against mine.

There was a knock on the door and we broke apart.

"Come in." I said.

The door opened and the girls ran in. They all gave me one big hug at the same time.

"Pudding! You're okay!" Lettuce yelled.

"Yes, I'm better now." I said.

"There's no way you're okay." Zakuro said after they released me.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"You're not saying na no da. You say it all the time. So why aren't you saying it now?"

"I didn't even notice. I guess I'm just a little sad. The monkeys at the zoo… they were… crushed… by a Kerima anima."

"Why is that so sad?" Mint asked.

"In case you forgot I used to have monkey genes inside my body. I was half monkey. It's like losing my brothers and sisters."

"Poor Pudding." Ichigo said giving me a hug.

She seemed to like to do this a lot lately.

"Wait a minute. Did you say a Kerima anima?" Zakuro asked.

"Yea."

"That means Kish is back."

They all looked at Tart.

"He didn't have anything to do with it!" I screamed.

"He's one of them Pudding. He has to be part of it." Mint said.

"No! He's the one who stopped the monster!" I protested.

"We can't trust him." Ichigo said.

"Why not! He didn't do anything! He didn't!" Tears were flowing down my cheeks again.

"You have to choose Pudding! Are you going to stay with your friends! Or go with the enemy!" Mint yelled.

"I can't make that decision!" I yelled.

"You have to!"

I looked at the ground.

"I'm sorry Taru-Taru. I don't know what to do."

I looked up and saw him leave.

"You made the right choice." Mint said.

I dropped to my knees and cried harder.

"He's not a bad person! He saved the people at the zoo and he just saved my life!" I screamed. I stood up and ran out the door.

Tart: The end of what?

Pudding: The end of our lives!

Tart: Noooooooo! That means I can never see you again!

Kish: Or you could just kill Neko.

Neko: Shut it Kish!

Kish: Why don't you make me!

Pie: Yes please just kiss him already so he'll shut up.

Neko: Ew! Never! Why would I kiss that idiot!

Pie: It's obvious that you're in love with each other.

Kish & Neko: (step away from each other)

Neko: So not!

Kish: That's disgusting Pie!

Neko: Zakuro! Will you please come and make your boyfriend leave us alone!

Zakuro: What did you do now Pie?

Pie: I'm just pointing out that we all know that the two of them are in love.

Zakuro: Sorry Neko but he's right.

Neko: I've got to get out of here before they try to marry us!

Pie: Oh. You've figured out our plans already?

Neko: (passes out with a foaming mouth)

Tart: I think you killed her Pie.

Pudding: Neko Onee-Chan!

Kish: Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead! Which Old Witch? The Ugly Witch!

Neko: Who are you calling old an ugly!

Kish: Are you admitting to being a witch?

Neko: You'll find out if you don't shut your big mouth!
