Again? Chapter 4:
Truth
The Mews looked up as Emiko came in with the others, and all of them immediately jumped on her. "You're okay!" Ichigo said. "We were so worried!"
"Thanks guys," Emiko said, hugging them back.
The boys watched this, and Kisshu waited till the girls had broken apart to ask the question on everyone's mind. "Emiko," he said.
"Yes, Kisshu?" Emiko asked.
"We were wondering, would you be happier in the other dimension?" Kisshu asked. "You seem to really like Ash."
Emiko was silent, and her friends waited nervously. Finally she said, "It's true that I like Ash, and I like going to his dimension. But I could never leave you guys. Besides, I don't like Ash the way you think I do. You were all thinking that I was in love with him, right?"
Ichigo looked sheepish and said, "Yeah, pretty much."
Emiko smiled slightly sadly. "I like Ash as a friend, nothing more and nothing less," she said. "I might have fallen for him- if I wasn't in love with someone else already."
Everyone's jaws dropped. "You're in love with someone else? Who is it?" Ichigo asked.
Emiko, surprisingly, turned to Kisshu and said, "Kisshu, I've been in love with you, nearly since I met you. I knew you only loved Ichigo, so I knew it wouldn't do me much good to tell you that I love you with all my heart. I knew that the only way you'd be happy in love was if Ichigo was in love with you, so I decided that I would do everything in my power to get the two of you together. I know it might not make sense, but I was willing to sacrifice my happiness for yours. It's not that I'm not happy, but since this thing came up, I thought it was time I told my little secret. I don't want to wreck your relationship with Ichigo, so I'm willing to erase this conversation from all your memories, and let you go back to your normal lives. You'll just have to wait until I can use my powers, though."
"Emiko…." Kisshu whispered.
Emiko looked down, a bit afraid of his reaction. Suddenly, she felt arms around her, and a face buried into her shoulder. She looked up, and saw Kisshu holding her.
Finally Kisshu let her go, and said, "Emiko, Ichigo and I weren't really going anywhere in our relationship, and the fighting with Mint didn't help. We both knew it, but didn't really do anything about it. I believe, and I think that Ichigo will agree, that you and I might make a better couple. I need someone calmer anyways, and you've always had a way of calming us all down. While I love Ichigo, I've realized, thanks to your confession, that I love you as well. Emiko, would you like to be my girlfriend?"
"Only if it doesn't ruin my friendship with Ichigo," Emiko said.
Ichigo said, "Frankly, I think you deserve Kisshu more than I do, so I'm willing to let you two be together. And you'll always be my friend, no matter what."
"Thank you, Ichigo," Emiko said with a smile. Then she shyly walked back to Kisshu, and said, "Kisshu, I would love to be your girlfriend."
Kisshu grinned, and kissed her. Emiko kissed back, and the others cheered.
Finally they broke apart, and Emiko looked at Ash, who had a slightly sad smile on his face. "Ash, can we still be friends?" Emiko asked.
"Yes," Ash said. "You're my friend, and that'll never change. I have to admit I have a bit of a crush on you, though."
"Thanks, Ash," Emiko said. "I hope you realize, though, that even if I loved you the way I love Kisshu, it would be hard on both of us, since we can't really live together."
"I know," Ash said. "But you can still visit, right?"
"Of course," Emiko said. "You know I'll always come when Pikachu calls, and maybe even come just to visit."
"Thanks," Ash said, looking more cheerful. Then he said, "I should probably get back, if that's okay. My friends are waiting."
"I'll take you, Emiko can't use her powers yet," Kisshu said. Then he grinned and said, "And try not to get into trouble for at least a week, until Emiko can actually come help."
Ash laughed and said, "I'll do my best." Pikachu ran to Emiko, and the two of them hugged. Then Emiko let Pikachu go, and he went back to Ash.
Kisshu grabbed Ash's shoulder and before teleporting, said, "I'll be back." Then he teleported, as everyone waved.
Okay, bad ending, but I hope to get another idea soon. Review plz!
