Chapter 24
Fight then Relax
"It's not, but there's no other way to make you guys shut up for a little bit." Izumi snapped, placing her hands on her head.
Pudding was growling the entire time when she was picking up the broken plates and Mint just ignored everything. "How's this our fault?" Zakuro snapped.
Mitsukie stood between the two, glaring at them both. "Is now a great time to be arguing?"
"Stay out it, Mitsukie, you're wasting your breath." Mint said, sipping her tea.
"Mint, you should be working!" Ichigo yelled, making Izumi even more frustrated.
Lettuce sighed, trying to stay out of it all. "This isn't the time to be yelling at each other! What's gotten into you two?!" Mitsukie asked, not realizing her loud voice was hurting Izumi's head. "Zakuro you're always quiet and never really care about what's going on, and Izumi you never yell!"
Izumi stayed silent, not sure of how to respond. "Well she just starts yelling at Min-" Zakuro was cut off by a slap to the face. Mitsukie was really mad and didn't watch the loudness of her voice.
"And you're yelling at Izumi!" Mitsukie snapped back.
Zakuro was downright pissed, and Keiichiro and Ryou sliently stepped outside the cafe. "How's that all my fault?!" Zakuro snapped back, flicking Mitsukie's nose.
Izumi sighed and folded her arms, letting the tears fall as she walked off to get changed. Mitsukie didn't even flinch at the flick. "I'm not saying it was!"
"You kind of are." Zakuro flicked her hair behind her shoulder, some hair still hanging there from being cut already.
"How?!" Mitsukie asked, pushing her bangs out of her face. "How is this all me blaming it all on you?!"
"You were the on-" Being cut off again, Zakuro was so mad there was steam coming out of her ears.
"STOP FIGHTING!" Izumi shouted, only to have the tears fall faster. "Geez, sorry I showed up for work and worried about my friend!"
Ichigo and Lettuce quietly made their way to the doors and sat on the steps outside with the boys. Pudding and Mint were getting tired of the fighting as well. "Can't we all just shut up for FIVE MINUTES?!" Mint asked, shouting as well.
"It's all your fault, Mint!" Pudding pointed a finger in Mint's face, only making those two argue again.
Zakuro shot a glare at Mitsukie. "Then you can defeat the Cyniclons on your own." She snapped, walking off to get changed.
"Stop being so fricken' childish, Zakuro!" Izumi yelled, standing in her way. She forced her tears to stop falling, but she was in so much pain from all the yelling that a few tears dropped. "Can't you listen Mitsukie out for once?! Hell, listen to someone other then what you think!" Izumi had no clue why she was so mad, but she was.
While the girls argued, Ryou, Keiichiro, Lettuce, and Ichigo sat on the steps with a heavy sigh. Keiichiro didn't willingly leave the cafe. After all... His crush was the one who tried stopping the argument... "So... You and Mitsukie, huh?" Ichigo teased, playfully slapping Keiichiro's arm. "Cute~"
"We aren't actually a thing." Keiichiro chuckled along with Ichigo. "You and Ryou, then, huh?" He teased.
Lettuce laughed as Ichigo's face got all red. "You've known that for a bit." Ryou sighed.
"I know, but Ichigo's reaction is pretty great." Keiichiro laughed as the four of them blocked out the arguing.
Lettuce seemed confused. "Wait, you two... Are a real thing?" She asked, looking at Ryou.
Ryou just nodded. "No!" Ichigo yelled.
"Yep." Ryou laughed.
"What..?" Lettuce was more then confused at this point .
Mitsukie walked out of the cafe with a hurt expression on her face. "Mitsukie, what happened?" Keiichiro asked, watching her sit down next to him.
"It's not fair! They're only listening to themselves and what they want, and Izumi was even on my side about this entire thing and I feel like I made everyone mad!" She kept her hands together, not moving them. "I say we should all calm down, and go somewhere relaxing."
"I agree." Lettuce smiled.
Mitsukie gasped quietly and looked at Lettuce in shock. "Me too!" Ichigo giggled, watching Mitsukie smile and cover her mouth slightly with her hand. "Hey... Who cut you?" She asked, noticing the cut on the back of Mitsukie's hand.
"Oh... Pudding and Mint went all out fight, so I broke them up and now Mint's in the changing room trying to fix her 'beautiful' hair and Pudding's just mad..." Mitsukie sighed. "Pudding had a knife in her hand and was trying to cut Mint and she had a chair, trying to hurt Pudding..."
Keiichiro gently grabbed Mitsukie's hand. "We can go to the beach, if you want. It's relaxing and right now it's still early." He said, holding his hand over the cut to stop her from bleeding on herself.
"Really?" Mitsukie smiled.
Zakuro and Mint walked out and by everyone, leaving without a word. Pudding stormed outside, stomping the entire way home. Izumi sat next to Lettuce, her elbows on her knees and holding her head tightly. "Thanks... Mitsukie..." Izumi whispered. "I mean, my headache's gone somehow... But..."
"That's fine." Mitsukie smiled. "You're ok, right?" Izumi nodded, getting Mitsukie to smile even more. "Come on, lets go get you a bikini and lets go to the beach!"
"Wha- ok!" Izumi giggled and stood up, chasing after Mitsukie.
While Ichigo and Lettuce chased after them, Keiichiro and Ryou stayed quiet until they were out of earshot. "I wonder if the Cyniclons are coming back..." Ryou said, his elbows on the step behind him. "And with Pudding, Mint, and Zakuro gone and probably not coming back... I wonder how the girls are going to handle them..."
"Lets just hope they don't come back and enjoy the day at the beach. I mean, that other girl did give a beating to the three almost instantly. So they might be worried on coming back- hey..." As if cutting himself off, Keiichiro turned to Ryou. "What did Killi.."
"It was some drug.. The pill she forced down my throat didn't work and the drug she gave me made me see her as an old friend." Ryou shrugged. "She's a great scientist, that's a fact, but her timing was off... It was just some drug she gave me that wore off in like half an hour later."
"...She made that?" Keiichiro asked. "She is talented." He agreed, watching the clouds slowly stroll by.
Meanwhile, the girls ran to the nearest bikini store (Or 'unno, whatever they have over there) and searched around. Of course, they tried them on, so they knew if the bikini's fit or not. Because there was only one open changing stall, Ichigo went first. She changed into a turquoise bikini that had plump, red, strawberried on it. It tied around her neck and her back. Her figure was actually pretty great, she was getting the hourglass figure, but she still looked like Ichigo! Her hair was down, and it grew to past her shoulders just enough to make her look more womanly. She quickly changed back into her pink shirt and jean shorts. Lettuce was next. She kept her hair in braids and took off her glasses. Her top was an emerald green that tied around her neck and back. Her bottom was just a jade green. Although it was plain, it looked good on her. Once she shoved her turtle neck back on and jumped in her jeans, she switched with Izumi. (A/N: Ok... Izumi and Mitsukie's bikini's are going to be explained more since you've never seen them before in your life... So it's only to deepen their looks...) Izumi's top was a rose color with small, dark roses, over the top. The string wrapped around her neck, but not tight enough to choke her, and there was a string that wrapped around her back and stomach, tieing at the bottom of her back. Her bottoms were a rose color as well, but instead of roses, it had tulips on them. The string was tied into a bow on the sides. Her flawless figure made her look the hottest out of the three who tried on their bikini's. She jumped back into her half shirt and shorts, hurrying to switch with Mitsukie. Mitsukie's top was black and it was a pull on. It didn't have any string, meaning it wasn't tied around her neck. Her bottoms were black and on the right side on her butt, there was a picture of a red panda. Although her figure wasn't perfect, she still looked pretty dang hot in her bikini. She jumped back into her t-shirt and jeans. The paied for them and ran back to Ryou and Keiichiro.
Surprisingly, it was only 8:00 A.M., so the boys grabbed their swimming trunks and hopped in Ryou's car. "Ryou, did you really mean that? That you and Ichigo were a couple?" Lettuce asked, sitting cross legged and squished between Ichigo and Mitsukie.
He glanced over to Ichigo and looked back out the window while Keiichiro drove. "Well, the way she attacks me in the middle of the night, I'd say we're both fine with it. So yeah." He said, trying not to smile at Ichigo's red face.
"Awe!" Mitsukie and Izumi giggled.
But when Lettuce turned towards Mitsukie with a smile, she stopped giggling and shook her head. "No! No way!" Mitsukie crossed her arms, not wanting to hear Lettuce's question.
The girls talked the entire way to the beach, and the moment they got there, they piled out of the car. They walked along the boys in silence to the changing rooms. Keiichiro had black swimming trunks while Ryou had blue. Ryou gazed at Ichigo when she came out of the changing room with the smallest blush. Mitsukie walked out after her, not noticing Keiichiro gazing at her as she chased after Ichigo. The other guys just stared at Izumi while she tried looking at her back, to make sure it was tied correctly. Lettuce was happy she wasn't getting that much attention, so she stayed with the boys while Mitsukie fixed up Ichigo's bikini. Once she made sure it was tied correctly, Izumi ran over to the boys. "Come on! The water isn't going to attack us! We have to attack it! Lets go have some fun!" She giggled, running towards the beach with the girls chasing her. The boys chuckled and followed them. Izumi dove into the water while Mitsukie and Ichigo splashed each other and Lettuce relaxed in the water. Just by being so perfect (You know... Teen idol pop star... Sterotype her on her looks XD), when she poped back up from the water, the guys around her fell her for almost instantly.
There were kids who were playing in the sand, building sand castles, a couple guys surfboarding, and girls were getting a tan. When they got in the water, Mitsukie splashed Keiichiro as Ichigo splashed Ryou with water. They had a lot of fun playing in the water and the boys decided to go surfboarding. "Ichigo..." Mitsukie whispered, watching Keiichiro. "You said you liked Ryou right?" Ichigo nodded, looking at Mitsukie with a smile. "Well... I think... I like Keiichiro like that... But I don't know if I should..."
"Go with it!" Ichigo giggled. "Love can't be stopped by age, girl."
"Hmm... Ok!" Mitsukie smiled and nodded. "It's probably 10 right now, so after this, you wanna go to the amusement park nearby? There's a crap ton of fun things there." She smiled, sinking in the water until only her nose and eyes were above the water.
"Yeah!" Ichigo nodded before jumping into the water and swim around.
A bunch of guys were talking to Izumi, but she didn't really seam interested. Everyone seemed so happy and relaxed. They did want to bring Pudding, Mint, and Zakuro, but they didn't want any more fights. Once everyone was dry, they changed into their regular outfit and walked over to the amusement park.
Chiyo: So you're all like 'wow but she was whacked in the head!' ahem, yes. Indeed. *giggles* but 'lil Izumi here is a weird girl, she did say her headache was gone after everyone stopped fighting.
Zakuro: *glares at Mitsukie*
Pudding: *glares at Mint*
Mint: *sips tea, glaring at Pudding*
Mitsukie: *hides behind Keiichiro*
Chiyo: Yeah, so... Seiko, the strongest of a different 'lil team, was taken out so much faster then Izumi was able to even lay a hit on her, Ransurot and his gang were taken back by the Mew's increadible strength, so they're tending to the ones who were knocked out and left to die in a slow, internal, death. Yes you will figure out what happened. But for now, I'm thinking about getting a lot of Ryou and Ichigo and Mitsukie and Keiichiro... *glances at the others* ... hmmmmmmmmm... Maybe I should pair everyone, and when the Cyniclons are gone for good, throw them in an all chapter date... I 'unno, but I wanna know if you guys want it, cuz if you don't I'll secretly add it, and write a spin off for my own amusement because that would be adorable to have XD
