A/N: OKAY!!! THAT'S IT!! I HAVE CROSSED THE LINE!!! I'LL MAKE THE CHAPTERS BETTER FOR ALL THREE OF MY STORIES! ALL I'M ASKING FOR IS SOME GOD (ghjgggVKGK,GGGvgug,kug) REVIEWS!!!! –Tries to calm down- Sorry about that. Just venting. I was having a very bad day earlier and when I checked my email for any reviews for my other two unsuccessful stories, I blew and got impatient. You should see my once clean bed now. It looks like a bugler came in and tried to look for something but couldn't find it.

-sighs- Anyway! I will no longer wait for any reviews that I have selfishly asked for. I am sorry and I will never do that again. Thank you all for the wonderful reviews so far, you devoted fans, and I appreciate it if you all will continue with them. Especially someone who I am expecting questions from. Thank you and please enjoy this chapter!!

Ch. 10: I'll Wait

Tap, tip, tap, tip

Tap, tip, tap, tip

Deep Blue is in his room, typing in the dark and the comfort of his own room. His eyes watch as he clicks 'enter' and waits for the results. In the search box, he has in 'Ichigo Momomiya'. After the results came in, there is none. He raises a brow and asks, "Huh? What the heck?"

"Maybe you should try 'Ichigo Aoyama', Deep Blue," Masaya suggests. Deep Blue freaks for a moment and looks over his shoulder. He sees Masaya right over behind him.

He calms down for a bit and tells him, "Next time, knock."

"Why? It's my room also."

"Yeah, well it wouldn't scare the hell out of me when you just appear behind me."

Masaya lets out a chuckle and smiles at him. "Forgive me, Deep Blue."

Deep Blue's cheeks turn red for a moment before he turns around towards the screen. "Apology accepted." Then listening to him, he types in 'Ichigo Aoyama' in the search box. As he waits for the results, Masaya leans closer to the point where his breathe is warming Deep Blue's ear and his eyes are over his big elf like ears.

"Why are you suddenly so interested in her, huh?" he asks.

"Shouldn't I at least know about our little intruder? Like how her parents let her come to this school in a commoner disguise or if she's really a commoner."

"Well you know that she's my sister and I'm rich."

"Well that answers half of my questions but not the other half." Then the results came in.

The first thing both of them saw when the results came in is a newspaper website with the title of a young Ichigo Aoyama who's missing. Deep Blue lets a small gasp escape his lips as Masaya's eyes widen in surprise. Deep Blue opens that folder and looks at the article.

He scrolls down and mumbles, "Dear god." Masaya's eyes narrow as Deep Blue's brows are up in confusion. "Why the heck would she run away from the safety of her school and come to an all boy's school?"

Masaya stands up straight and answers, "Maybe to see someone."

Deep Blue looks over his shoulder and asks him, "Like who? The prince? Tasuku already asked her that question and she said no. Besides, she went to La Cielo so she could have come every day to see this person."

"That is true but my sister didn't know that the hosting club existed and I'm not a host at the hosting club."

Deep Blue's brow is still up as he says, "Talk about sibling love." He looks back at the screen and scrolls back up to see the picture of Ichigo with her mid length hair up in two ponytails and in a girl's school uniform. He can clearly see how they could mistake her for a boy, body figure likewise. "But why would she join the school instead of just try to sneak in and see you? What's her purpose for staying so long?"

Masaya looks at the screen from his shoulder as well. Deep Blue goes back to the results page and looks for any other bit of information. Most of them were missing reports from the FBI and the newspaper websites. He answers, "Who knows. But if she stays any longer than it will be a problem for both of us."

"It's quiet," Ichigo mumbles. The sound of the Nikujaga simmers and it seems to be the only noise in the room. The rice is cooked, the salad is cut, and she's stirring the Nikujaga so that it can cook. She lets out a sigh and mumbles, "So lonely…"

Then arms come from behind her and hug her. She's frozen as she ends up leaning closer to the hot pot as Kisshu snuggles her and asks, "Aw, is my little kitty lonesome? Don't worry, honey. I'm here now."

Ichigo was ready to blow but then she hears Pai say from the door, "See you in the morning."

"And no running off," Taruto warns.

Kisshu tells them, "I didn't run from your guys this morning, did I?"

"We'll see how long that'll last." Then she hears the door close. Kisshu snuggles a little longer to her until she was certain she heard the door next door close. Then she blew.

"Get off me, Kisshu-san!!" she yells, pushing him off. This time she hits him on the head with the wooden spoon. He whimpers again as she scolds, "You pushed me so close to the hot pot, I could have gotten a burn! Next time, don't lean so hard that I have to lean over! What are you anyway? A puppy?!"

Kisshu grabs her wrist and pulls her close. She's surprise as she's looking in his eyes again as he looks down at her. He has a smirk on his face as he tells her, "If I am a puppy, then just proves how much you mean to me. I was a stray seeking refuge in hope of finding shelter, food, and love. You are that person, my little kitten." Then he licks her nose to add more spice to his saying. Ichigo's eyes are wide and her heart is pounding fast. The deep shade of red on her cheeks proves just how much she's moved by the prince's words and actions.

"Just set the table, you player!" she orders, pulling herself away and hitting the top of his head with her fist. Or she's not moved…

Kisshu rubs the bump on his head as he whines, "That hurt, Ichigo-kun. You're so mean. Is that the welcome I get after working hard at the hosting club?"

She mumbles back, "Unfortunately, you still haven't left that hosting club. I'm not a customer, Kisshu-san! Besides, I can't even afford it!"

"Well if you want, I can have you come in for free."

"Heck no! Why would I want to be hosted? Especially since I'm supposed to be a boy at this school! If I go and start acting like a girl, my cover will be blown and I'll have to leave."

Kisshu lets out a sigh and tells her, "I know that, Ichigo-kun. But I missed you." Ichigo is surprise to hear that as Kisshu gently grabs her arm and pulls her into a hug. She's surprise by the hug as his free hand goes to her head and gently removes the hair clips. He pulls the wig down and her hair comes flowing out like fire dancing in the fire place. He combs her hair with his fingers as he tells her, "I was so used to seeing you after school and now I don't get to because I have to see so many strangers. It's a bit scary, which is why I'm so excited to see you. Sorry I couldn't help you cook tonight."

Ichigo took a moment before pushing him away again. She tells him, "You can pay it off by helping me with my homework." She turns back to the food and tells him, "Now go set the table. Dinner's almost ready."

Kisshu smiles behind her and goes to the cupboard to get the bowls and other utensils they probably need for the night. He tells her, "Sure thing!" Then he goes off to get set the table up as Ichigo stops stirring for a bit. She places her hand over her fast beating heart and looks away with a small smile on her face.

"Itadakimasu!!" Kisshu cheers, happy to receive the food.

"Itadakimasu," Ichigo mumbles, upset that Kisshu used so much of her energy when he entered. Then they both started to start eating at the table and Ichigo has her wig back on her head for safety.

After the first bite, Kisshu giggles at the taste. He tells her, "Another wonderful, home cooked meal that was made by my own roommate Ichigo. I'm in heaven."

"I'm not a maid," she tells him, trying not to look at him. She fears that if she looks at him then there is a good chance of her ending up staring at his grace while he eats.

Kisshu ignores her comment as he asks her, "So tell me! Are you going to the party?" She looks up at him this time with one brow raised on her face. He laughs a bit and says, "But yet again, everyone is going so maybe."

"What party?"

He looks at her in confusion as he asks, "You don't know?" She shakes her head. "Well I'm surprise. I would think that how popular you are that someone told you about the party at the end of the week."

A vein is pulsing on her head as she mumbles, "Well no one told me about a party because they won't let me talk. Not to mention that I'm trying to not make too many friends at this school so that my departure will be easier. But besides that, no one tells me anything."

"Well that's a little rude but to be expected. They probably think that since you're rooming with me, they figure I tell you everything instead of relying on them to tell you."

"Well are you going to tell me or not?"

Kisshu lets out a sigh of troublesome but tells her with a smile on his face, "At the end of the week, there is an evening party that will take place right here at school in the school's grand ballroom. It's an annual thing and every boy from St. Ange and every girl from La Cielo come. It's like a usual ballroom party. We dance, eat tea and small meals, and it's another chance for the students to socialize. But as usual, the goal of both schools for upholding the party fails because most of the boys dance with the boys and the girls dance with the girls. But there are some couples that dance together that are boy-girl."

Ichigo asks, getting into the subject, "What's the party for anyway? Why hold a party?"

"It's a farewell party."

"For who?"

At that moment, Kisshu's smile disappeared and he suddenly looks really sad or guilty. Ichigo noticed it right there but she couldn't figure out the reason why he would look like that. Soon he looks back up at her and puts that smile back on his face. "For the students who have family business to take care and will be gone about a while the next day."

"Really?" she asks, trying to sound normal after seeing that face. "Any events that are going on at the party that I should be know about?"

"I can tell you this much. I'm going to be so busy that you might be lost for a bit. Which was why I was hoping that you would have some friends that you can hang around with while I'm all over the place doing the prince chores."

"And let me guess, Zakuro onee-sama has to accompany you to do all of that."

"Don't you mean, 'hime-sama'? I didn't know you were close to the princess of La Cielo." Now Ichigo is freaking out. She said Zakuro's nickname in front of him without meaning too.

"Sorry about that!" she says quickly. "I heard her name once and I heard how much of a great girl she is! I forgot that she's the princess of the La Cielo school and just called her that! Sorry for the disrespect!"

"Okay, okay, Ichigo-kun," he says with a sweat drop. "No need to throw a cow."

"Yeah, sorry. Kisshu-san!"

"Yeah?"

"I'll try and come to the party but I don't have a suit I can wear. Remember? I'm poor."

He smirks and raises a brow as he asks, "Are you trying to get me into getting you a suit for the party?"

"No, it's not that! I'm just telling you! You don't have to get me a suit. I can just wear my uniform since its fancy enough for the party."

"Ha, ha, ha! Very funny. You can't wear your uniform to the party. It's a bit rude."

"Well sorry but all I have is a shirt, sweater, and long pants."

"Let me take care of it alright? And if you protest, I'll get you a dress instead and make you wear it."

"You wouldn't!"

"I would! Watch me!"

He takes another bite of his dinner and that distracted Ichigo from continuing the conversation. She's enchanted by his eating habits and after he takes a few more bites, he smirks at her and asks, "See anything you like?"

A vein pulses on her head again. "You wish, you royal pain."

"My lord!"

Kisshu looks up at Deep Blue from his desk and it looks like Deep Blue has some papers; files more like it. He greets, "Good morning, Deep Blue-kun. Are those more files for me to look at?"

"Yes, my lord," Deep Blue answers. Then he just drops them on his desk and it made a rather loud sound. But it didn't cause Pai, Taruto, or Masaya to look up.

Kisshu lets out a sigh in boredom and asks, "What are they about?"

He was just about to open it when Deep Blue answers, "Files about your roommate." Kisshu stops dead in his tracks as Masaya looks up from the corner of his eyes. Taruto and Pai look up as well and decide to just watch.

Kisshu asks, being a little cautious, "Why are you showing this to me?"

"Did your roommate ever tell you about where he's from? Or even family? Surly this boy has a mother, a father, and probably a few siblings perhaps. He did tell you, right?"

'If he already looked at her files,' Kisshu thinks, looking from Deep Blue to the pile of papers, 'then he already knows that Ichigo-kun is really a girl. But with the way he keeps calling her a 'him', then that means he's keeping it a secret. He probably thinks that I don't know she's a girl and that's why he brought this whole thing up. Sometimes, Deep Blue-kun, you can be pretty despicable.'

Kisshu picks up the files and gets up from his desk. Then he walks over to the trash can and drops it in. Deep Blue is surprise of that as the teacher is wondering why he's up. Then he points at the files like a gun and blasts them. Now the teacher is a bit scared as Deep Blue is crossed.

"My lord! What are you doing?!"

Kisshu turns to him and asks, "Tell me, Deep Blue-kun. Does it look like I care about who his family is or any bit of information of my roommate's private life?" Deep Blue stays quiet since Kisshu's face looks like he really doesn't care. Kisshu tells him, "I will admit that I am curious because he never told me and I appreciate you giving me a short cut, but I will not be sneaky enough to just look through his personal life without his permission. When the time comes, he'll tell me and when he does, every single bit of information will be new to me." Then he just puts on a smirk like the all powerful prince he is. That made Deep Blue look almost powerless while both Pai and Taruto are impressed with his loyalty and Masaya is just watch like he's burning everything into his mind to save the information for later.

Ding, dong

Ding, dong

Kisshu looks up at the clock and smiles this time. "Looks like its lunch time." Both Taruto and Pai got cautious real fast.

"Now hold it, oji!" Taruto orders.

But Kisshu just smirks and tells them, "Bye-bye, I got a lunch date!" Then he teleports away while both Pai and Taruto start running.

Taruto tells Pai, "I told you that it won't last long!" Then they were out the door.

The teacher tells Deep Blue and Masaya, "Lunch time. You are excused." Then he gets up and leaves the room.

Masaya puts his stuff away and gets up. Deep Blue on the other hand is silently growling and his hands are in tight fists in frustrations. Masaya calls, "Deep Blue!" He instantly calms down and looks at Masaya in shock. Then Masaya just slaps him right in the face. Deep Blue is paralyze where he stands as Masaya tells him, "Next time you do something like that without my permission, I won't go easy."

Deep Blue's eyes narrow down and he looks almost sad. He rubs his red cheek with the back of his hand and mumbles, "Sorry. It won't happen again."

Masaya smiles and then walks closer to him. His arm wraps around him and grasps his hand. He lowers the hand and then kisses his cheek. Deep Blue turns into a dark shade of red as Masaya tells him, "I know it won't happen again. I accept the apology." Then his hand lets go and he tells him, "Come. Let's go to lunch."

As Masaya heads for the door, Deep Blue thinks, 'But there was another reason why I did that. I wanted to see just how deep their relationship is and it seems that he will cause a fuss when the time comes to take her heart.'
