CHAPTER 6: ISACC

OMFG I AM SOOOOO SORRY IT TOOK THIS LONG TO UPDATE! I've had serious writers block for the past few chapters and none of the kisses seem right but hopefully I nailed this one ^^…FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLZ TELL ME WHAT U THINK B4 I HAVE A PANIC ATTACK!

"No…why does this keep happening? I was just feeling happy about having such a great friend like Keith but now…No nobody loves me more than a friend…no one…" I whispered as fresh tears trickled down my cheeks. I franticly started wiping my eyes when I came close to Altru. Once I looked alright again I waked up to the building, ready to give the disc to Isaac and get the hell back home to wait for Rythmi or Kyūpiddo to call.

"Morning Ranger Kate!" smiled the cheery receptionist. "Um are you alright?"

Damn I must still look like I've been crying. C'mon Kate think of an excuse fast!

"Huh? Oh I'm fine a Sandshrew just got me in the eyes with a sand attack a while ago. Do my eyes look a little red still?" I laughed while thanking Arceus my brain wasn't still running slow. The receptionist gave a relieved sigh and a huge smile before nodding.

"Well make sure you wash your eyes out in the bathroom before you leave then ranger Kate. We can't have professor Isaac's favourite ranger look like she's been crying now can we!" she smiled sending me the same look Rythmi usually has before setting me up on a date (or giving me perfume that makes guys forcibly shove their tongue down my throat me till my lips are swollen!)

"I..erm speaking of Isac- I mean professor Isaac…I've got this disc I'm supposed to deliver to him. Um he's probably busy so can I give it to you to give to him later?" I asked shakily with a faint blush on my checks.

Damn I always get embarrassed when she implies that Isaac likes me! I mean I know that we went to school together and we're pretty good friends now but that doesn't mean he likes me! Besides Isaac is a genius and even though I was the person with the 2ndhighest IQ at ranger school doesn't mean I'm that smart now! I mean c'mon I studied tonnes to get those resul- AH WHAT AM I THINKING! C'mon no more thinking about guys!

"Raaaanger Kaaate?" asked the receptionist worriedly. "Are you feeling ok? You just completely zoned out for a bit there."

"O-oh I'm f-fine!" I laughed. The receptionist didn't look so sure but soon went back to her usual self.

"Alrighty then! The professor is in his office, you know where it is."

"Oh um I don't want to disturb hi-"

"Nonsense! He's been missing you y'know~ Plus it would do him some good to have some company!" she smirking at me as if she knew about my crush on the mushroom haired scientist. Yes I know what you're thinking "how many crushes does this girl have?"but Isaac is like Keith, he's one of those guys I would really like to date. Plus just because I'm a Top Ranger doesn't mean that I'm not a teenage girl.

Before I could make up an excuse to get out of seeing him the she had pushed me over to the elevator.

"Ok now! You have your all access pass so and you know where to go so I guess I'll see you when you leave! Don't forget to wash your eyes out before you leave and say hi to Keith for me!" she laughed before hitting the button that closes the doors and sending me up to level 10 AKA where Isaac's office was. Little did the receptionist know that by mentioning Keith she had sent my heart back into a confused depression.

Man how pathetic can I be? Am I so love starved that my heart can't understand that Keith and the other guys' feelings for me are just an illusion? Kyūpiddo must have made the perfume extra strong so that it would affect guys even if they don't have feelings for me…I mean there's no way that such amazing guys like Sven, Vant, Nage, Crawford and Keith could have even extremely weak feelings for a girl like me….

"Ding! You have reached your chosen floor. Be careful when exiting the elevator. Thank you, please have a nice day." Spoke the cheery automated voice programmed into the elevator. I took a deep breath and walked calmly into the sleek hallway towards Isaac's office. On the outside I looked calm and confident but the closer I got to my friend's office, the more my outer façade splintered as my thoughts attacked my self-esteem. That said, I still kept walking if only as way to focus on delivering the data to the young professor and delay the inevitable rush of tears that was building in my eyes. Taking another deep but shaky breath I knocked on the door and took the black disc containing the data out of my pocket.

"*sigh* what is it now?" hissed a bedraggled mushroom haired scientist with one hand over his eyes. It was the very person I had come to see.

"Um s-sorry Isaac I just came to give you this data." I said impressed by the steadiness of my voice. Isaac froze at the sound of my voice then slowly moved his hand away from his naturally pale face exposing one widening clear sky blue eye.

"Kate?" he whispered softly before letting his hand drop to his side. Suddenly I was pulled into the office and engulfed into a warm but strong hug. I felt Isaac's chest vibrate as his relived chuckle grew into a laugh. He let go of me as quickly as he had grabbed me with a pale blush staining both our faces.

"S-sorry K-Kate I guess I just missed you more than I thought Heheh." He laughed sheepishly. "Kate are you alright?"

"Huh what are you talking abou-" I asked before feeling warm salty tears dripping down my face. That was the final blow. My mind couldn't take it anymore and I fell to my knees sobbing. Isaac was immediately knelt by my side.

"Kate what's wrong!" he asked franticly before whispering, "D-did you meet up with the Sinis Trio again? Please talk to me Kate…if that Ice-um I mean if they hurt you then you must tell me!"

Hearing Ice's name only made me sob harder and feel even more of a loser but I was so confused I had yet to realize why. Gently a pair of thin but strong arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me into a soft lab coat with a crumpled shirt nestled beneath it. The comforting smell of flowery scented washing powder wrapped around me soothing my aching heart and self-destructive mind.

"Shh…it'll be alright Kate…you don't have to be worried about anything for the moment so just relax and tell me what happened…ok?" Isaac whispered softy while rubbing my back soothingly. Shakily I brought my hand up to my face and rubbed away some of my tears with the back of my fist.

"O-okay…" I sniffed weakly. I explained everything that had happened since Rythmi tried to return my confidence to me by giving me the perfume up till now. By the time I was done explaining everything, I had calmed down a bit more and finally pulled away from my blond crush and stood up. Isaac hadn't said a word since I started explaining and I was starting to think he was contemplating my sanity or rather my insanity. Suddenly he shot up from his kneeling position on the floor and grabbed hold of my hands with a sparkle in his eye.

Wait…he only does that if he's really interested in something…so…HE BELIEVES ME! YES in your face self-destructive mind if Isaac believes me then I haven't gone completely crazy!

"Kate that's amazing! Doyouthinkshe'llletmeseethedata?ormayberifweswitchsomeofthei ngrediuentsitcouldbeusedtotr eatdepressiondoyouthinktheun ioncoulduseittohelppokemon?" Isaac questioned as if he was a hyper kindergartener on crack. I probably don't have to say this but I burst out laughing and for the first time since the end of Operation Brighton, tears of pure laugher streamed down my slightly scarlet face as I struggled to breathe. Within seconds I was back on the smooth stainless steel flooring, desperately trying to stop laughing…and failing. After a few deep breaths, I managed to snap myself out of my hysteria and prop my back against the grey steel of one of the many machines Isaac kept in his office.

Great now he probably does think I'm insane! *inner face palm*

Putting my arm behind on the back of my neck I stared up at Isaac, a sheepish giggle escaped from my throat trying (but EPICLY failing ) to break the awkward silence that had invaded the sleek office. Isaac just blinked at me at first but then a chuckle started to bubble away in his chest.

"Jeez Kate am I really that funny?" he smirked smugly. My heart practically skipped a beat. He just looked so handsome with that rare smugness on his choirboy face. "Heh…Katy~ what's with that cute little blush on your pretty little face?" he asked even smugger. I looked away from him with my cheeks burning blood red, trying not to let him see how badly he'd gotten to me. Unfortunately for me, Isaac happened to be in a sadistic mood so he decided to pin me down to the floor so he could see my face redden with embarrassment.

Arceus its times like this I wish I had never discovered Isaac's teasing side!

"Kate…for someone who is also a genius you sure can't hide your emotions very well…" he smirked pressing his chest against me so that every time I breathed out my breasts would be pressed into him and forcing my arms behind my back so they were too squashed to be able to push the blond off. From the slight moan that escaped his mouth when I breathed out I could tell he was enjoying being in this position.

"I-Isaac quit being such a perv and get off!" I yelled angrily trying to free myself but freezing when I saw the ugly sneer on his face.

"Why should I?" Isaac snarled grinding his hips against mine painfully with anger eating up the warm sensitive blue eyes I loved staring into.

"W-what are you doing!" I gasped fearfully.

"Sven, Nage, Vantona, Crawford, Keith…they all got a piece of you! I want my share!" he shouted furiously. "Do you have any idea how long I've wanted to do those things to you! I'll make them pay for what they took from me…"

No not Isaac too! Damn perfume! But what does he mean he's wanted to do those things to me?

"Isaac snap out of it it's the perfume!" I yelled tearfully. "The other guys only made out with me because of the perfume! Kyūpiddo must have made it extra strong so people who don't have feelings for me would be effected too…I mean c'mon there's no way such great guys like you, Keith, Sven, Vant, Nage and Crawford could have e-even weak feeling for a girl as pathetic as me…" I choked out, my voice breaking as I told him the thoughts that had been torturing me. Isaac looked at me shocked before gently rolling off of me and pulling me onto his chest. I felt him nuzzle his face in my hair as he held me tighter.

"Kate is that really what you think…?" whispered my mushroom haired crush softly. Too many tears had built up in my eyes already so I just nodded and let them trickled down my face pathetically. "You…you're just so dense…"

"What do you mean?" I whispered angrily, "I'm the one who's so love starved that I've ended up developing feelings for almost all my guy friends…I hate the how weak I am when it come to love…"

Suddenly I was pushed back underneath Isaac who had his arms wrapped so tightly around my body that I couldn't move an inch as he stared down at me possessively. The blond moved his face closer to mine so the surface of our lips just brushed before speaking.

"I mean what I said. You don't understand how perfect you are! I've loved you since ranger school and so has Keith! If nothing else Sven finds you extremelyattractive. Vantona is obviously very protective of you not to mention possessive and it's easy to see Nage has been crushing on you ever since you complemented him on the micro aqua lung. Finally, Crawford loves how you can put up with his endless jokes and he thinks you're hot! ...We've all talked about it at one point…it's the reason I didn't confess…. I thought you would end up dating someone else…" said Isaac with a shy blush.

"I-Isaac I… ah um…" I stuttered weakly. I was in complete shock.

H-he can't mean it...can he?

"Kate…your just too cute." laughed the scientist softly. My blush grew and I tried denying until Isaac silenced me with a passionate lusty kiss that made me feel completely dominated. Slowly Isaac ran his tongue into the corner of my mouth and dragged it to the middle trying to make me open up. The fact that I didn't seemed to encourage him as he pushed and sucked on my lips, even going so far as to snake his cold hand under the back of my top to rest on the small of my back. I let out a small gasp at the sensation of cold skin on my warm back. Instead of forcing his way in then, Isaac moved his other hand to grab hold of my butt as he ran his finger up and down my spine making me shiver.

"Ung Isaac s-stop!" I shouted with my voice muffled by Isaac's lips. To my surprise the blond pulled his lips away. The surprise didn't last long however since he moved his head to the pale skin of my neck and started licking and sucking the flesh above the plaster on my collar bone from the hicky I'd received earlier. "Ah! S-stop it hurts!" I gasped as he bit down on my neck, drawing a small amount of blood. He instantly pilled away and shoved in tongue into my mouth. The passion was intense and I couldn't help but close my eyes and relax into my mushroom haired crush. Isaac had turned me into a puddle of goo and by the way he was moaning, he was very pleased with himself. Feeling him smirk against my lips made me open my eyes just in time to feel his hand wrench up my top revealing my pale stomach and the bottom of my black bra.

"Hmm I always pictured you wearing a cute cream bra not a hot lacy black one…not that I'm complaining…" Isaac smirked after pulling away from my sore mouth.

"Isaac LET ME GO!" I yelled, trying to free one of my hands so I could slap him.

"KATE!" screamed a familiar voice as its owner kicked down the door which probably wasn't even locked. Isaac stiffened as he saw Keith glaring at him furiously. With only a few seconds of hesitation (that was spent staring at my bra) Keith pounced on Isaac freeing me.

"YOU BASTARD! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO KATE! YOU SAID YOU LOVED HER NOT THAT YOU WANTED TO RAPE HER!" screamed the red head punching Isaac in the face repeatedly. However, Isaac wasn't going to just let Keith punch him.

"ME! I KNOW WHAT YOU DID JUST BEFORE KATE CAME HERE! YOU'RE THE BASTARD!" yelled the blond scientist while punching Keith in the gut and face.

They're gonna kill each other the way they're fighting!

Without thinking I ran over and punched both of them in their faces.

"HOW DARE YOU TREAT EACH OTHER LIKE THIS! YOU'VE BEEN FRIENDS SINCE RANGER SCHOOL SO DON'T YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT HATING EACH OTHER NOW! Neither of you could help doing those things because the perfume was influencing you…so I forgive both of you…just please stop fighting…" I screamed before my voice dropped to a shallow and tearful whisper. Sad expressions of guilt, pain and tenderness washed over the boys' bruised faces as they stared up at me from the metallic floor.

"Kate I…" Mumbled Isaac before gazing up at me with shame and barely hidden lust in his compassionate eyes. The fact that Keith was giving me that very look too only filled me with pain. I couldn't stop the ache in my heart from growing stronger the longer my two crushes stared up at me.

"I-I've got to go!" I stuttered running to the door ignoring Keith and Isaac's attempts to stop me. I could still hear their shouts melding with the noise of my feet hitting the sleek flooring of the ultra-modern hallway towards the elevator. With a choked sob, I sank to the floor and cleaned my eyes with my palm.

The sooner I get the cure from Kyūpiddo the better…I just can't make any sense of this in the state I'm in now.

"Ding! You have reached the ground floor please take care when exiting the elevator and have a nice day!" chirped the automated voice as I stood up and walked into the lobby looking a lot more stable than I felt. Suddenly I heard four voice shouting my name.

"Kate over her-" screamed Nage before being punched by Crawford.

"Kate don't worry I'm here for y-" yelled Crawford before being kneed in the gut by Vantona who was then cut off by a swift kick from Sven who was punched by Nage before he could say anything. I was so stressed out that I couldn't even understand half of what they were saying but I managed to get the gist of it. They were fighting over who I belonged to! If ANYONE did that now they would end up with a severe case of foot up their ass unfortunately I wasn't my usual self so I ran out of the building ignoring the concerned cries of people I knew.

DONE ITS FINALLY DONE! I FINISHED THIS AT EXACTLY 23:33! *laughs hysterically*
