The Bishonen of February

Chapter 3

"Here, have a kitten! It'll make you nicer!" Kina laughed.

"Get that bad-smelling fur ball away from me!" Yue jumped away from Kina. "I'm leaving and you better leave if you know what's best for you!"

"Ok, but first will you live with me for a month?" Kina poked him.

"First of all, don't TOUCH me. Second of all, I would NEVER live with someone, especially a HUMAN, hentai!" Yue's eyes hardened even more as he said the word 'human', as if he hated the whole race.

"Excuse me! I'm NOT a hentai! Just leave for one month, that's all I'm asking!" Kina pleaded, making a puppy dog face.

"Why should I come with you?" The bishonen stood up to his full height. He had white hair that fell past his shoulders with it pulled in a ponytail. His eyes where a storm cloud of blue and gray and they where emotionless eyes. He was wearing strange clothes that where all white, blue and gray with a cloak around his body. Giant, angelic like white wings protruded from his back with a few loose feathers on the forest floor.

"I want to show you the world anew." Kina whispered.

"Leave this forest and me, girl." Hatred shined from his eyes.

"If you change your mind, here is my address." Kina shoved a piece of paper with writing on it into his pocket, then turned and ran.

"Psychotic weirdo." Yue turned and walked away.

Smiling, Kina held Tama in her basket, when she had put the paper in his pocket, she had slipped Neko in his cloak hood. She knew he would come to return Neko, then she could make him stay. Kina just felt bad that she had to separate Tama and Neko. She turned and began the long trudge back home. Walking along she turned to the right, Kina knew she heard footsteps. She crouched down and crept toward the noise.

"Feh. I know you're there." Inu-Yasha glared at Kina.

"Wow! OhMyGosh! Inu-Yasha! You're so cute!" Kina ran up, rubbing his ears so they made that funny noise and then she glomped him.

"Get off of me silly human! Feh! You're as bad as Kagome!" He pushed Kina off of him.

"I always wanted to do this! SIT!" Inu-Yasha face planted into the dirt. "FUN!" She kissed his cheek and went running off.

"Feh! I'll get you for that one day!" His words echoed behind Kina.

Kina began to sing a song as she skipped along the pathway.

Kina finished her song as she walked towards home, hoping to see at least one more bishonen. Her breathe went in quickly as she gasped, there standing right in front of her was her favorite bishonen. Her eyes widened as her feet made jerky steps towards the Tasuki.

"TASUUUUUKKKKIIII!!!!!!" Kina screamed, trembling slightly as she began running in circles around him doing a sad imitation of his 'bandit dance.' With the blink of an eye she latched herself onto Tasuki. "I LOVE YOU MY TASUKI!" She squealed, not letting go of him. The shock of what was going on slowly sunk in as Tasuki gasped for air, turning a mixture of red and blue.

"Get offa' me! This is why I hate girls!" He screamed as he got some more oxygen.

"You know you love me!" Kina continued to glomp Tasuki as he tried to get his fan. "You're the best Tasuki!" She rubbed her cheek affectionately against his shoulder.

"Yeah, I know I'm the best!" Tasuki grinned widely, "Let go of me!" He slowly pulled Kina off of him, with much struggling.

"Ok, but let me get a picture first!" Kina set up a camera on a stand, auto setting it to go off in one minute, then she ran up next to Tasuki. As it started to blink, she grabbed him unexpectedly, pulling him close to her as she kissed his lips while the camera took the picture. Grinning like a maniac, she happily ran off with her camera.

As she neared town Kina pulled out an old sheet of paper and a pen. On the paper was a list titled: "Things I want to do while I'm alive." Some where checked off, some not. At the top of the list where the most important but harder ones to do but as it got further down they where less trivial things such as 'Kiss a Tasuki.' Kina proudly crossed it off; all she had left now was number one through five. She pocketed the piece of paper and entered her apartment.

"I'm home!" Kina smirked, seeing Nuriko in his cooking apron that said, "Kiss the Cook" with a pair of big, red lips.

"Did you find February?" Nuriko anxiously asked. "Where is he?"

"He'll be here soon." Kina pulled Tama out and set him down on the table.

"I just washed that!" Hotohori walked in, "So I see you find that little devil? Where's his sister?" He motioned to Tama.

"I left him with February."

"Oh so you pulled the animal trick!" Nuriko beamed delightfully, he was the one that taught Kina the trick (leave the cute animal with the victim so they get guilt ridden and won't leave it, so they bring it back to you!)

"Did you get pictures? Did you bring me anything?" Hotohori poked through Kina's basket.

After grabbing the basket back from Hotohori, Kina produced two bags full of candy, which she gave to the eager bishonen then pulled out a wad of pictures. (She had one of those instant Polaroid cameras) and each time she ran into a bishonen, she secretly set it up to take a picture. There was a picture of Kina glomping Trunks while Gohan was trying to pry her off with a crow bar, another one that had the four Gundam Boys with Lauren (the fox girl) glomping Duo and Kina standing in the background drooling over all four guys. A picture with Kina clinging onto a confused Kenshin, one of Inu- Yasha on the ground with Kina laughing like a mad woman and lastly one of Kina kissing Tasuki.

"Nice pictures! Think you got enough of you glomping people?" Nuriko rolled his eyes and laughed.

"Thanks! Now I'm going to bed!" She slowly made her way into the bathroom.

Kina gently stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around her, quickly drying herself off as the cold air bit at her skin. Tama playfully tried to attack the water in a futile attempt. Kina stepped toward the mirror, looking at herself. You could tell her skin was becoming thinner and paler.

"Is it really going to start showing now?" She asked herself, brushing her hair back. She smiled weakly at Tama then began to talk to the kitten who seemed to listen to her.

"Tama, do you ever feel like you don't belong somewhere? It's like no matter how hard you try to fit in, you just can't and you feel like such an outsider. I try to tell myself what I'm doing is right, in the little time I have at least, but I feel like I shouldn't be here. Like I don't belong here and I'm suppose to be somewhere else. But where Tama, where? I just don't feel like I fit in here or like I'm not supposed to be here. Is there anyone out there that is like me? Am I meant to fall in love with that special someone or will it all end too soon? Could anyone love me, despise this horrible disease? I can feel the life slowly draining out of me, but at the same time something is holding me back. But what?" She sniffled back tears as the gray fluff ball cocked his head sideways as if to reply that he didn't know the answers.

"I'm sorry, I'm being too serious now. I'll get your sister home as soon as possible Tama!" Kina attempted to perk up, but another thing still bothered her, deep inside. "Must I always be so cheerful? It's like everyone expects me to be the one to cheer him or her up. But when I'm sad, who will cheer me up?" She slipped her bright Pajamas on that had fat cows all over them and Kina snuggled down in her bed as Tama jumped up, curling in a warm ball near her head.

"But you are who you are and nothing can change that. Believe in yourself, maybe I don't belong here but I'm here right now and nothing can change that either. So I'm going to make the best of it, even if I only have a little amount of time. Good-night Tama." She kissed the kitten that purred quietly and with that the light turned out.
