Ch. 4: Punishment

All during dinner, it was silent. Ichigo is still shock by Kisshu's little lip contact with her fingers so all she did was pick at her food with her cheeks the color of red delicious. Once in a while, she would glance up to try and talk with Kisshu but when she does, she get's enchanted by how graceful he is just by eating. The way his hair moves and bounces when he picks up food with his fork and chews, the silence of him chewing his food no matter what it is, the way his finger holds the chopsticks, and how he chews. She was get so enchanted by it, that she forgets she's staring. The only thing that makes her go back to eating is when Kisshu notices her stare and looks up at her. She would freak and take three big bites of her food fast before she goes back to her normal size of eating and at a normal pace. What she didn't notice was that Kisshu would have that devilish smile on his face for only a moment before he went back to eating.

Kisshu asks, finally breaking the silence, "Did you find the office okay?"

Ichigo sharply looks up at him and answers, "Y-Y-Yes, I did."

He lets out a sigh and says, "I feel so bad for letting you go loose like that. How about after class tomorrow, I can show you around the school; let you see a few things that you missed?"

Almost as if she was just asked out, her cheeks flared up a bit as she looks back at her food and starts playing with it. She says, "I would like that." In her mind, she's thinking, 'Oh my god! What do I do? What do I do?!! Here I am having dinner with the most beautiful boy in the school and I'm acting like a dork! Well I look like a dork, but it doesn't mean that I have to act like one! Just calm down. Just calm down…'

"Also…" he started, putting his utensils down. Ichigo looks up at him curious in what he has to say and he's leaning over with his fingers tied together in front of his face. "I have to admit though, I am a little upset that you have knowledge of my…condition. Can I trust you to keep it a secret, Ichigo-kun?" The way his golden eyes stare directly at hers made the shock travel through her eyes to her brain and her heart.

All she can do is stare at him as he lets out a sigh and takes a drink of his wine(they're reach kids so I think they can drink wine but not too much of it). He puts the drink down and then look at her with that look in his eyes. Ichigo got a little cautious as he gets up and walks behind her. His arms circle around her neck from behind and his lips are right by her ears. She can hardly breathe as he whispers, "I can't have people knowing that I have a condition that I need medication for, everyday. The prince of the school is supposed to be not only smart, athletic, and supposedly the prettiest, but also has to be the healthiest. Not even Pai-kun and Taruto-kun know about my condition. This has to be a secret or I will punish you."

Ichigo starts shivering a bit as she asks, "P-Punish m-me? H-How?"

One of his hands went to the side of her face to push away from of her fake hair to the side as he tells her, "I guess I can show you an example." His other hand makes Ichigo look at him and the next thing she knew, his lips are press against hers. Her eyes are bigger than her glasses. All he's doing now is just giving her a simple kiss but she had to admit that he's not a bad kisser. In fact, he's a pro. When he pauses for a short second, his tongue starts to go into her mouth and explore around. The feel of his tongue in hers made her turn really, really, really red.

"Excuse me!!" she screams, getting out of his hold and goes running into their room. Kisshu watches her sprint to their room and shuts the door behind her.

He's very surprise on how she just pushed him away like that. He's stunned actually. But then his fingertips touch his lips and he's surprise that the kiss actually felt really nice. He looks back at the room and smiles.

Ichigo on the other hand, is leaning on the closed door, completely shocked by what happen. 'Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!! He kissed me! And he wasn't bad, but he kissed me! Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!'

Ichigo shakes her shock away and tells herself, "Calm down, Ichigo! Calm down. It was just a kiss, but it was a kiss from the prince of the school. But what did he mean by that he'll punish me, or did he mean…" She covers her mouth at the thought and thinks, 'HOLY SHIT!! He'll rape me?! The hell?!' She shakes her head again and says, "Calm down, calm down. I had a long day and I think I need a bath."

After that decision, she goes to her bag and takes out her towel and some bathing supplies. She takes the clips in her wig off and takes the wig off to unleash her mid-length radiant, fiery hair. She shakes her head to give her hair a chance to be be free and it felt so good after having that wig on all day. She even takes the glasses off and she can still see perfectly clear. She takes the glasses with her but hides the wig under her covers on her bed. Since one side has all her bags and boxes there, she figures that the bed on that side is hers as well.

She takes one towel and wraps it around her head to hide her hair and she peeks out. Kisshu is not by the table and the dishes are gone so she figures that he went to go clean them. She quickly goes to the bathroom and shuts the door behind her. But from the sound of the sudden shut door, Kisshu gets out of the kitchen and looks. He sees that the bedroom is open but the bathroom is closed and on. He gives it another thought and then smirks before returning back to the kitchen to finish cleaning up.

Ichigo lets out a sigh of relief and calms down now that she's safely inside. She turns the hot water on and releases her hair again. Then she puts the shampoo, the conditioner, and other materials around the tub. She starts to undress and hides her panties and her bra under her dirtied clothes just in case. She turns the water off and enters the tub. She closes the glass doors and relaxes in the tub. Nice and hot and it feels so good to be in a real bath. She can finally think, but first she needs to wash the sweat off her hair. She takes the shampoo and starts washing her hair.

'Aw, that feels so good. Finally getting the chance to let my hair be free and washing all of the sweat off feels really good. Now I can think.' Even though she thinks like that, her mind went right back to the kiss. She washes her head harder and thinks, 'Stop thinking like that!!!' She stops and starts panicking. 'But if he just kissed me so easily and thinks that I'm a boy means that he is gay! But he said that his family is straight. But that's pointless. Even if you have straight parents, it doesn't change the fact that you can be gay. But for all I know, he can also be bisexual! Aaah, my head!' She lowers her head and crashes. She over worked her brain cells and because of that, she didn't notice who else is in the bathroom.

The glass door suddenly opens and Kisshu asks, "Can I come in?"

"Aah!" Ichigo yells up, jumping. She quickly grabs the washcloth and wraps it around her hair. She's shaking but tells him, "Don't scare me like that." Lucky for her, her back is to the glass door so he can't see her chest.

He raises a brow and asks, "What are you doing with a washcloth on your head?" She freaks again and shakes.

'Crap! Think of something! Anything!' "We-We-Well, us commoners first wash our hair with shampoo and then wrap our hair with a washcloth to let the shampoo soak in. We do the same thing with conditioner too!" 'That's a crappy lie, but please believe it!' There was a moment of silence and it's making Ichigo very nervous. So nervous that it's obvious that she's shaking and she's making her own ripples in the water.

Kisshu sticks a finger in the water and asks, "Is the water cold or are you still nervous about the kiss?" That stops Ichigo from shaking all together. With the way she's going, it's surprising that she hasn't gotten a heart attack yet.

Kisshu looks away from the tub and starts undressing himself. He tells her, "Sorry about that, but I don't want others to find out that I have a condition. If people found out about it, then me coming here would be useless." Ichigo calms down after hearing that and continues to listen as he explains, "My parents expect so much from me. That's why I'm in one of the best schools in Japan and I have the best grades in everything. I don't want to disappoint them so if my condition goes out, then I would no longer be the prince and disappoint them. I wouldn't mind not being a prince but then that would break my family's hearts. But besides that, the other reason why I want to stay prince is because, there is someone I want to make sure is okay and how can I when I'm like everyone else?" By the sound of his voice, it almost sounds like he's smiling.

Ichigo's heart is pounding hard and it's pulsing out warm feelings. Her face is red as she wonders, 'He's…like me almost. I need to stay in this school as a boy so that I can make sure that my brother is okay and the reason why he hasn't return. I already disappointed my parents with running away but there is no turning back now.'

"Aw this feels good," Kisshu lets out, after getting in the water. Ichigo starts to freak again. She didn't even notice him opening the glass doors, closing it, and then getting in the water. It was like he's a ghost.

Ichigo couldn't help but think, 'What graceful movements. Hold on! He's in and I'm in! How do I get out without him seeing that I'm a girl?! And if I see him without clothes on, I think I'll faint from a nose bleed.'

Kisshu approaches her, without her realizing it and starts taking the washcloth off. "Let me show you how to properly do it. It's probably no wonder that you're hair is not at it's true beauty." Now she's having a heart attack, but she can hardly move. If she makes a big deal about it, then she might accidently reveal that she is a girl and she might see something she doesn't want to see.

After he took the washcloth off, he takes her strawberry shampoo and squirts more into his hand. He starts washing her hair and his hands are so gentle and firm. It started to calm her down but she kept her arms in front of her chest just to be safe. He tells her, "After you wash your hair, you rinse it out and then put the conditioner on and start washing your body. The conditioner is the only product that you can allow to soak your hair. That way, it can be nice and soft afterwards. But I must say, Ichigo-kun. You're hair is really soft. Almost like clouds on a nice day."

She gets red and says, "Thank you, Kisshu-san."

He asks her, "Why are you so crunched up? Do you have an embarrassing birthmark, or a beauty mark?"

'Think of something fast! No wait! Agree!' "Yeah, I have this very embarrassing mole and I don't want you to see. It's really, really embarrassing. Don't want anyone to see-e-e-e!" She's nervous.

"Alright. Not that I mind seeing a mole, but I'll respect your privacy since I already kissed you without your permission. I just wanted you to get the message that I need you to keep quiet."

"Thank you again, Kisshu-san." Now she can breathe easier. Maybe, she can get out of this without him looking at her body and her looking at his body.

After he was done, he dips his hands into the water to get the soup off and he opens the glass doors to reach for something. "Now where is the bowl? Got to get the soup off." Ichigo freaks out again.

While he was looking for the bowl, she looks for his shampoo. When she found it, she takes it and squirts some into her hands. She quickly goes up behind him and starts washing his hair. He stops looking as she says, "Since you helped me, how about I help you? You must be tired of washing your hair by yourself. Now that we're roommates, it would be rude if I don't help."

He pauses before he says, "Thank you, but can we go back to the middle. It's cold with the draft coming in."

She says, "Sure of course." She only says that because she's starting to feel the draft too and it's freezing. He closes the door and they both go back to where they were before, without any of them seeing anything. Kisshu's back is to Ichigo as she's nervously washing his hair.

'It's forest. By the smell it's forest scent. It…suits him, I guess. It really suits him,' she thinks, taking in the nice, calming scent.

Kisshu asks, "Why are you nervous?" He pulled her out of her thoughts and he tells her, "I can tell by how your hands are shaking. It's not like I'm going to bite you so why are you nervous?"

She answers, "It's…It's…It's because this is the first time I'm taking a bath with someone else. I used to bathe with my brother but as we got older, we couldn't and it was so long ago. I almost forgotten how fun it is to help the other but…I'm very self conscious."

Then flouting near them is the bowl that Ichigo brought. Because of the commotion, she's been side tracked that it's in here. Kisshu notes, "Oh, here's a bowl. Are you done?"

She answers, "Yes."

He grabs the bowl and fills it with the bathwater. He dumps the water on his head and Ichigo backs away to make sure that he doesn't get soup in her eyes. He does that twice until all of the soup is out of his hair. He asks, "Are you self conscious because I'm a boy and you're a girl?" Ichigo's heart just stopped right there. He fills the bowl with water and dumps it on Ichigo's head this time. She closes her eyes as the soups come clean off like silk. He does that twice to get the scrubs off as he tells her, "You have very beautiful hair, Ichigo-kun. Or do you prefer Ichigo-chan?"

Ichigo looks up at him, scared that he just found out her secret as he's examining her. He even says, "No wonder people think you're a boy. Not much of a chest but you are cute. I bet you can see without your glasses too. You have very pretty eyes." Then she snaps.

"Excuse me!!" She doves into the water and swims towards the exit. She quickly gets out and closes the door behind her. She picks up her clothes and runs to her room, closing the bathroom door and the bed room door.

"She's fast," Kisshu mumbles. "But did she have to leave the glass door open?"

Since he's already in, Kisshu finishes his bath after he closes the glass door. When he was done, he dries himself up and puts on his pj's that he brought in with him; a white loose male tank-top and dark green shorts. He goes in front of the bedroom and knocks.

"Ichigo-kun, are you decent?" he asks. No answer.

He opens the door and peeks through. He opens the door all the way and he sees no one inside. All he sees is the white walls of the room, the black curtains, one bed with a green comforter, another bed with a white comforter, two oak desks, two pine counters, and a black marble table. He even sees Ichigo's unpacked luggage and boxes full of school stuff but still no Ichigo. He lets out a sigh and goes the white closet. He knocks on that.

"Ichigo-kun, are you hiding in the closet?" he asks. He doesn't hear an answer. All he hears is a yelp. A light bulb lights up over his head. He says, "Oh since Ichigo-kun is not in here. I better go look for her. Don't want the other boys seeing that she's a girl." He starts stomping to the door and turns the light off. He closes the door and teleports back inside the dark room. He gently leans on the corner near the light switch and waits.

Believing that he left, Ichigo, with clothes on, comes out of the closet and gently closes it. Then she starts walking back and forth in worry in the dark. "What do I do now?!" she whispers in panic. "Kisshu-san figured out my secret so I have to leave but I can't! I can't leave the school now! Damn it! What do I do now?!"

"We can make a deal."

Ichigo jumps as Kisshu switches the light back on. She looks at him surprise as he looks at her with his arms crossed. She's wearing dark red silk pj's; a long sleeve button shirt and long pants. She starts running back to the closet but he teleports in front of the closet so she crashes into him. He catches her before she falls and she looks up at him, surprised.

"Feisty aren't you?' he asks, sounding a little seductive. She turns to the same color as her pj's.

She asks, "H-How did you get from there to here?!"

"I'm an alien so I can teleport, fly, create blasts, and other additional stuff," he answers.

Getting distracted and interested, she asks, "So does that mean that anyone here that looks like you are aliens?"

"Yep," he answers. "So far the only aliens you met are Deep Blue-kun, Pai-kun, and Taruto-kun."

History says that a long time ago, aliens used to live on earth but because it was so dangerous to live on at the time, they had to move. Over the millions of years, humans appear and took over the planet. When the aliens come back, since they've missed earth so much, the human government and the alien government had an agreement and the aliens can live with the humans. After another hundreds of years, humans and aliens live in peace since they realize that they are no different. The aliens just have extra things. Ichigo almost forgotten about that since over the years demons, angels, spirits, and many other kind of species came out of hiding and live in peace with humans.

Ichigo asks, "Are there more?"

"Yep, hundreds!" he answers. "Anyway, how about a deal? I won't tell anyone you're a girl and you won't tell anyone that I have a condition, alright?"

Ichigo steps back and asks, "You promise that you won't tell anyone that I'm a girl and you'll let me stay at this school?"

"Just so long as you promise not to tell anyone about my condition. Okay?" The way his eyes stare directly at hers and the amazing force they have over Ichigo just made her nod. He smiles and says, "Good girl." Then he kisses her forehead and Ichigo was ready to faint. He really is like an angel, except…

Kisshu looks at her eyes again and says, "But with the way my personality is, I do want a little extra. You see, I have things called punishments as I gave an example before. I'll take the kiss for now, but one day…" His hand went under her chin and for a moment, his eyes struck fear right into her heart. "I will take you. I have a slight interest in you, Ichigo-kun. Someday, you will be mine." He leans closer to her and he kisses her cheek like he really means it. As good as it feels to have him kissing her, she knows that it's wrong considering they both are so young.

Indeed, what the hell has she gotten herself into?
