They Come and Go

Chapter 9

Whispers In The Night

The two girls slowly crept out of their hiding place. Even though they had been in there all day, they still managed to have a good time. Suika had brought games from home, as did Ichigo. Then it was nighttime, and their plan would be set into action.

The two girls were going to scare Ryou senseless. It was quite simple really. All they had to do was make strange noises. Ryou had just gone to bed, so he would not be asleep yet.

They quietly crept up to Ryou's room and stood at the door. "Ohhhhh," Suika moaned softly. She heard Ryou turn over in his bed. The two girls whispered amongst themselves before continuing.

Finally they heard Ryou shout, "Who's out there?"

They could not help but giggle before they went on.

Ryou continued to shout, becoming more and more afraid of what was going on outside his bedroom door, when he heard Ichigo's shrill scream, "Ahhhhh!" It cut through the night, and Ryou rushed out of bed and out the door. The girls only just barely had enough time to hide from him. He ran in search of the noise, but found no source, so he went back to his room to try and sleep.

What Ryou did not know was that the two girls had snuck into his room, and were waiting for him. He slowly laid back down in his warm bed. All was well for awhile until the girls jumped up and screamed at him. He of course screamed back, obviously terrified, but who would not be.

This continued for some time, until Ryou figured out what was going on. When he did, he did not have enough time to say anything because Suika tackled him, pinning him to the bed.

"Did you have fun," she asked his squirming body. She was kneeling on top of him, so it was probably hard for him to even breath right now, let along answer her question.

She finally got off of him, and he managed to flip her over and do the same to her. "R-Ryou! C-ca-an't br-rea-th," she managed to gasp out. She really was having problems. He was a lot heavier than she was.

Ryou finally decided that the girl had had enough and got off of her, still pinning her down by the arms. Ichigo had run away because Ryou looked really angry and she could do nothing to help. "Why did you do that," asked an exasperated Ryou? "You scared the living hell out of me."

"Good, maybe you won't be so mean to Ichigo and the others.," Suika replied, obviously enjoying being able to breath again.

"What," Ryou yelled. "Was this some get back at me scheme?"

"Nope, just for fun," came the cheerful reply.

"You have a weird sense of humor," Ryou said, finally letting the poor girl go.

Suika rolled away from him, almost falling on the floor in the process. "That really hurt," she moaned. "I really couldn't breath for awhile there."

"You're fine," Ryou sighed. "Toughen up. You're a Mew Mew, remember?"

"Fine," Suika said. She was bored already. She needed something fun to do. "Want to play a game?"

"No," Ryou answered, clearly annoyed at the eccentric orange-haired girl laying near him. "Go home!"

"Aw, comon Ry-Ry. It was funny," Suika giggled. She thought of the terrified expression on his face as they screamed at him.

Ryou just sighed and laid back down on his bed. Suika saw that she was not getting anywhere, so she curled up beside him. It was too late for her to go home, her parents would be like where were you all day. So she just decided to stay here another night.

"Just what do you think you're doing," Ryou questioned the ball beside him?

"I'm sleepy," Suika yawned. "I'm going to bed."

"Go home," Ryou shouted at her!

"Please," She pleaded. "I'm not going back through those woods. What if I was attacked?"

"Just get angry and use your rage."

"Please."

"Fine. Do your parents know where you are?"

"I'll go tell them now," Suika said hopping off the bed. She really could not tell them that she was staying with Ryou, so she lied and said that she was at a friend's house. She had done this enough to know that you never say exactly where you are, then your parents call, and you are busted.

"Alright," Suika announced. "I am staying here!"

"Shut up and go to bed. You're lucky that I even said yes after what you put me through."

"I know. Thanks."

With that final comment, she curled up into a ball again and went to sleep. Ryou listened to the girl's steady breathing. It was so soothing. Eventually he too drifted off to sleep. This time there were no interruptions from mischievous girls.

Finally, I was able to get some sleep. I need to remember to double check that there is no one in here. Ryou slowly got up from the bed. Suika was still sleeping next to him, typical. She was always one to sleep for long hours.

Ryou gently opened and closed the door. He would go downstairs and eat some breakfast, but then he had a better idea. They had almost given him a heart attack last night, the least he could do was return the favor. He gently walked over to Suika and put his head near hers. Then he let out a scream. It was not high-pitched or girly, it was just a scream. Suika's eyes bolted open and she let out a scream of her own. Then she saw a face right beside her, and screamed even louder.

Finally she figured out what was going on, and calmed down a bit. "Ryou, what the hell," she screamed at him!

His only response was to smirk at the frightened girl in his bed. "You deserved it. An eye for an eye."

"Do you really think I care about some eye!? You scared the living hell out of me!"

"Good, maybe now you will learn not to sneak into other people's homes at night."

"I hate you," Suika screamed getting off the bed and heading out the door! She was almost home when she noticed it. A small grey cat with a green scarf around it's neck. "Aw, what a cute kitty." She picked it up and walked the rest of the way home.

The two arrived at a small house that was only about three minutes away from the café. Suika set the cat down, but it did not run, no, it still had five minutes left.

Suika went inside and the cat followed. It even followed her up to her room. Of course only Suika could stand the incredibly bright colors of it. It was only after the cat had snooped around for awhile that it finally left. It never crossed Suika's mind as to how it got out of the house, seeing as all the doors were closed.
