Do You Want to Live With Me? Chapter 10:
Kisshu at School
The next morning, Kisshu and Ichigo got up and walked to school. Kisshu hated his new shoes, but there really wasn't anything he could do about it; they were required. He had also changed his hairstyle for school; now his hair was tied back in a short ponytail. Ichigo had suggested it so no one would guess he was an alien, despite the fact he changed his ears. Now, in her opinion, he was seriously hot.
Moe and Miwa met them at the gates, and Miwa said, "Nice hairstyle, Kisshu."
"Ichigo suggested I change it to be safe," Kisshu said. "And now she thinks I'm seriously hot."
"I'd have to agree," Moe said. "Let's hope the girls here are too busy moaning over the lack of Aoyuck to notice."
"Let's get to the office, we have to check Kish in," Ichigo said.
They went to the office, and found Mr. Izika waiting. "Are you Ikisatashi Kisshu?" he asked.
"Hai," Kisshu said.
"I suppose you're going to beat up anyone who hurts Ichigo too?" Mr. Izika asked wearily.
"Yes, is that okay?" Kisshu asked.
"One rule: you may not kill them, under any circumstances," Mr. Izika said.
"I think I can handle that," Kisshu said.
"Very well, you can beat people up too…." Mr. Izika sighed.
"I'll only do it if they're hurting Ichigo," Kisshu said. "Moe and Miwa apparently can take care of themselves."
"Damn right," Miwa said. "Can we go to class?"
"Yes," Mr. Izika said. The four friends headed out, and went to their first class; Japanese History.
They got there right before the teacher, luckily, and sat down together. The teacher came in a minute later, and said, "Alright, we have a new student today, and I'd like you to make him feel welcome. Ikisatashi Kisshu, would you stand up so everyone can see you?"
Kisshu stood up, and the teacher said, "Thank you. You can sit down now. Let's begin."
She spent the next hour talking about the Greater East Asia War (A/N: Japan's name for World War II. I found it on Wikipedia, so please don't sue me if I'm wrong.), and the only student interested in her speech was Kisshu.
When class got out, Ichigo asked, "Were you actually interested, Kish?"
"Yeah, I don't know much about Earth history," Kisshu said. "But what's up with all the wars here?"
"Some people say fighting wars is human nature," Moe said. "But it's better not to talk about it with all these people around, right?"
"Right, we can talk at lunch," Kisshu said. "Which reminds me, do a lot of people bring bananas?"
"Yeah, why?" Miwa asked.
"I'm severely allergic to them," Kisshu said. "I can't smell them without throwing up."
"Well, that takes care of my problem," Moe said. "I'll be back." She headed off, and Kisshu looked puzzled.
"Her mom makes her take bananas to school every day, and she hates them," Miwa explained.
"Oh…." Kisshu said.
"We should probably eat away from the others," Ichigo said. "A lot of kids bring bananas."
"Great….." Kisshu said.
"It'll be fine," Ichigo said.
They went through their next three classes before lunch fine, and then it was lunch time. "We can try the schoolyard, but if it's not a good place, we can eat on the roof," Miwa said.
"K," Kisshu said.
They went out to the schoolyard, and looked for a secluded spot. They finally found a shady tree to sit under, and were about to sit down when they heard someone call, "Ichigo!"
Looking behind them, they saw Momo and Haru running over. "Can we eat with you?" Momo asked.
"Only if you don't have bananas, Kisshu's severely allergic," Moe said.
"Momo's allergic too, we don't have any bananas," Haru said. "I wouldn't say severely allergic, but they make her sick to her stomach."
"Then you're welcome to eat with us," Ichigo said. She took out a tuna salad sandwich, and sat down as the others took out their lunches.
"So Kisshu, why were you being homeschooled?" Haru asked after a few minutes.
"My parents didn't like the idea of me being bullied, and they decided they'd be better off homeschooling me and my older brother," Kisshu said.
"Why would you get bullied?" Momo asked.
"The color of my hair is unusual; they thought I'd have problems," Kisshu said. "Being homeschooled was kind of nice, so I didn't complain."
"What about your older brother?" Haru asked.
"His hair is purple, he'd have a nightmare of a time," Kisshu said. "I don't exactly know why we were born that way, but oh well."
"It's good you hang out with Moe and Miwa, all the would-be bullies here are terrified of them," Momo said. "Except Mika, who's now terrified of Haru, and therefore not worrying about Moe and Miwa. If she does anything to Ichigo, though, the rest of her school life will be hell."
"That would be kind of fun to watch; the most popular girl in school jumping at shadows," Miwa said, snickering.
"Moe, you telling Mr. Izika he was ancient was hilarious," Haru said.
Moe giggled. "Thanks. Mom wasn't happy with my week of detention, but it was totally worth it. I guess I should refrain from calling him 'Kyoryu-san', though."
"Sad but true," Haru said. "I'm surprised you guys aren't having problems with the other girls yet."
"What do you mean?" Miwa asked.
"I mean Kisshu there is about ten million times hotter than Aoyama, and he doesn't have people swarming him," Haru said.
"I think the girls are too busy moping over the lack of Aoyuck to notice Kisshu," Moe commented.
"Um…. you might have spoken too soon," Momo said, pointing behind them. The girls and Kisshu looked, and saw three girls coming their way.
"Great, those are Mika's goons," Haru sighed.
"I heard that! We are NOT 'goons'!" one of them said indignantly.
"What are you then?" Haru asked.
"Um, bodyguards?" one of them suggested.
"Pathetic, you couldn't even keep her safe from ME," Haru said. "I suppose you're here to fight?"
"Got that right," the first girl said.
Moe and Miwa got up, and Miwa asked, "Can we help? That'd be one for each of us."
"Sure," Haru said. "Kisshu can protect Ichigo and Momo from others."
"K," Kisshu said.
Mika's 'friends' launched themselves at Moe, Miwa, and Haru- and ran straight into their fists. One of the girls got a broken nose, courtesy of Haru, and the other two got black eyes. "You ruined my uniform!" the girl with the broken (and bleeding) nose said.
"Tough, you shouldn't have launched yourself into my fist," Haru said. "Had enough?" She cracked her knuckles.
"I bet you can't fight all three of us," the girl said.
Haru smirked. "We'll see," she said. "Moe, Miwa, can I do the rest?"
"Fine, but don't get overconfident," Moe said as she and Miwa went to sit with Ichigo, Kisshu, and Momo.
"K!" Haru said cheerfully.
"You're pretty cheerful for someone who's about to get her butt handed to her," one of the girls said. The other two launched themselves at Haru, who dodged and managed to trip them. They fell flat on their faces as the third girl launched herself at Haru. Haru dodged and slammed the side of her hand into the back of the girl's head, knocking her out.
Unfortunately, the other two girls had come up behind her, and one of them grabbed her, then spun her around, and started strangling her.
Before Moe or Miwa could move, Kisshu had jumped to his feet, and was behind the girl about to knock Haru out from behind. He knocked her out, then spun and grabbed the girl who was strangling Haru by the wrist. He twisted her wrist, and she let go. Kisshu knocked her out and turned just in time to catch Haru as she fell. Noticing Haru was unconscious, Kisshu said, "Let's take her to the nurse's office. Leave the jerks here."
The girls nodded and got up as Kisshu picked Haru up. "Kish, the nurse's office is on the second floor," Ichigo said.
"Can you show me?" Kisshu asked.
Ichigo nodded, and followed by Kisshu and the others, went back inside. She led the way to the nurse's office, and knocked on the closed door. She didn't get a response, and pushed the door open. "Great…. she's not here," Ichigo said. "We can put Haru on one of the beds, though."
Kisshu went in and put Haru down on a bed. "It looks like she's having trouble breathing," he said. "And there are bruises on her throat."
"That's bad," Momo said. "Should I get Mr. Izika?"
"Good idea," Kisshu said. Momo ran out, and Kisshu sighed. "I'd hate to have to call Pai," he said.
"Can you tell what the problem is?" Moe asked.
"She was without air for too long," Kisshu said. "What do human doctors do?"
"I think CPR, but that won't take care of the bruises," Miwa said, as Mr. Izika and Momo ran in.
"Momo said Haru almost got strangled," Mr. Izika said. "How's she doing?"
"She's having trouble breathing, and she has some pretty bad bruises," Kisshu said. "And her breathing just got fainter."
"What do we do?" Momo asked.
"Kisshu, is calling Pai a bad idea?" Ichigo asked.
"Not if we can keep Momo, Haru and Mr. Izika from telling people," Kisshu said.
"Telling people what?" Mr. Izika asked.
"Our secret, which will get us killed if you tell a soul," Kisshu said.
His facial expression and voice obviously told Mr. Izika that he was dead serious, because he said, "I can keep quiet, and I'm sure your friends don't want you to get killed, right Momo?"
"Right, I can keep quiet, and I can keep Haru quiet," Momo said. "Especially if it's something that will save her."
"Fine," Kisshu said. He concentrated, then sighed. Then he concentrated harder, and snapped his fingers. A teleportation hole opened up, and Pai fell out of it headfirst. "Kisshu, you'd better have a VERY good reason for dragging me here, because otherwise you're dead," he said.
"Shiro," Kisshu said calmly.
Pai gulped and asked, "What happened?"
"My friend got strangled, are you able to help?" Kisshu asked.
Pai went over and put a hand on her chest, then said, "Yeah, stay quiet." His hand began to glow, and Haru's breathing evened out. Pai put his hand on her throat, and the bruises healed as well. He put his hand back on her chest, and said, "She's fine now."
"Wow…." Momo said. "I wish I could do that….."
"Now do I get an explanation?" Mr. Izika asked.
"Should we wake Haru up first?" Ichigo asked. "If Momo can keep her quiet, then she won't have to be kept in the dark."
"Fine," Kisshu said. He tapped Haru's forehead, and Haru stirred, then woke up.
"What happened?" she asked.
"You passed out from lack of air," Kisshu said. "Are you okay?"
"Y-yeah, thanks," Haru said. "What's going on?"
"That's what I'd like to know," Mr. Izika said.
"We can't tell you everything, it could put you in danger as well as get us killed," Pai said.
"Fine…." Mr. Izika said.
Pai nodded and said, "Kisshu and I are Cyniclons, though I guess you'd say aliens. We formed a truce with Tokyo Mew Mew, and Ichigo's mom took us in when we realized we'd most likely get exiled. The only thing that remains is to figure out who my leader's human host is, and kill that person."
"Ichigo is Mew Ichigo?" Momo asked.
"Yep," Kisshu said. "We really shouldn't be telling you guys all this, but Ichigo and I knew that Haru dying here would be a problem, and Pai was the only one who could get here fast enough- not to mention human doctors wouldn't be able to take care of the bruises she had on her throat. I don't think her parents would be very happy with you if they found out another student almost strangled her, Mr. Izika."
"You're right," Mr. Izika said resignedly. "I won't tell anyone, and Momo and Haru won't either, right girls?"
"We'll protect our friends," Haru said.
"No one would believe us anyways, so I swear I won't tell anyone," Momo said.
"Thanks," Ichigo said. "But we can talk about it when we're on our own if you want."
"K," Momo said.
"You all should get ready to go home, it's almost time," Mr. Izika said. "Good luck, and I'll have a word with the girls who tried to strangle Haru."
"Thanks," Haru said.
Mr. Izika nodded and left. Pai teleported out, and Ichigo, Kisshu, Moe, Miwa, Momo, and Haru gathered their things and left as well.
I'll try to have more out soon! Review plz!
