Quiche and the Strawberry Chapter 4:

Party!

Kisshu teleported Ichigo and himself to the Cyniclon's ship. The main room was covered in streamers and balloons, and there was a table with food and… a large cake?

"Where'd you get the cake?" Ichigo asked.

"Pudding saw it in the Café kitchen, na no da!" Pudding said in a very hyper way. "Pudding got Taru-Taru to teleport it here, na no da!"

"So in other words, you stole it?" Ichigo said. Pudding smiled and nodded, completely oblivious to the fact that Ichigo didn't look too happy.

"Lighten up, Kitten," Kisshu said. "Keiichiro can always make another one."

Ichigo smiled and nodded.

Back at the Café:

"Where'd it go? It's GOOONE! NOOOO!" Keiichiro cried as Ryou walked in.

"Keiichiro, what's gone?" Ryou asked, alarmed.

"The cake I made for Rei's birthday! It's GONE! NOOOOO!" Keiichiro wailed.

"Uh…" Ryou wasn't sure what to say to this.

Back with Kisshu and the others:

"Wow, this is good cake," commented Taruto.

"Sure is," Kisshu agreed.

Ichigo, Lettuce and Pudding nodded.

Pai stood up, but before he could say anything, Kisshu yelled, "Speech!"

Pai gave him a death glare, and said, "I'm happy to say-"

"Wait, wait, wait, you're HAPPY?" Kisshu asked in mock awe.

Pai shouted, "KISSHU! SHUT UP!" Kisshu snickered, but did as he was told.

Now that it was quiet, Pai said, "I wanted to announce that since we've been back on Earth, Lettuce and I have, as the humans say, 'gotten together'. And YES, Kisshu, I AM happy about this!" Kisshu smirked, and Pai continued, "I would also like to congratulate Taruto, who FINALLY realized he loves Pudding, and they have gotten together as well. And Kisshu- well, I don't know about him and Ichigo." Kisshu's smirk immediately dropped off his face.

Ichigo noticed, and felt… guilty. Well, he did say he loves me, Ichigo thought, but so did Masabaka. After a few minutes of mentally wrestling with herself, she decided to ask Kisshu if he REALLY loved her.

Interrupting the conversation between Lettuce and Pai, and Pudding and Taruto's sugar rush, Ichigo asked Kisshu, who was apparently sulking, "Kisshu, if you and I started going out, would you ever cheat on me?"

Kisshu stood up so suddenly that his chair fell over and nearly went flying across the room. He then pinned Ichigo to the ground, and shouted angrily, "I would NEVER cheat on you! I love you, Momomiya Ichigo, and you should know that by now. If you're thinking I'm anything LIKE that stupid treehugger, you're wrong! I would NEVER hurt you like that, don't you get it? I LOVE YOU!" by this point, Kisshu was crying, and Ichigo wasn't too far off either. Seeing this, Kisshu growled and got off her, stalking over to the other side of the room.

Ichigo shakily got up. She hadn't meant to get Kisshu that upset. She just wanted to know if he really loved her, but instead she got him upset by asking the wrong question. Realizing that she had hurt him, she went over to where he stood, noticing that he still had tears running down his cheeks. His golden eyes shifted to her as she approached, but he didn't say anything.

"Kisshu- I'm sorry," Ichigo said softly. "I didn't mean to make you so upset. I just wanted to make sure that having you as my boyfriend would work out."

Kisshu looked at her fully, wiping tears off his face as he said, "Are you asking me to be your boyfriend, Ichigo?"

Ichigo blushed and said, "Yes. I realized that I loved you too, and after that little outburst, I also realized who truly loved me all this time."

Kisshu smiled and said, "I would love to be your boyfriend, Koneko-chan!"
