Ch. 4 Leeches and Cream! lol!
Leech had been unhappy with Kish last just a few moments before. She had begun to stalk off in the other direction, but he had called out to her and apologized.
He had said, "Darnit, I'm sorry! I was overreacting. I....I used to love Ichigo. Three years ago. But......she's different now, and I felt it when I saw her again. She's so in love with a human named Masaya. I used to call her 'my kitten' before Deep Blue and-"
"It's okay, stop gibbereing!" Leech snapped, no longer seeming so shy. "Why did those questions bother you so much, though?"
Kish got quiet and looked a bit sheepish. "I just feel like a fool because of how hard I tried to catch Ichigo's attention. I was so stupid. I don't think I'll ever love anyone else again. "he blurted out suddenly.
"I'm sure you will. And you weren't stupid. Trying so hard is impressive. You really loved her that much." Leech told Kish, and Kish shook his head.
"You don't understand, I mean-""Please come now. You can talk later."Pie interrupted.
Leech and Kish turned bright red; they'd forgotten that they were supposed to be going back to the spaceship.
~~~~~~~~
When Leech returned to the spaceship, she slunk away from the others and simply returned to Earth. It was so interesting there, and she wanted to see more of it. Of course, she had to stay away from civilization, her large, poiny ears made people stare.
Leech entered the park, which was nearly empty, since it was so late. The trees and plants were so pretty and she was glad they were helping this time.
"Why did you leave?" Tart's accusing voice interrupted her thoughts unpleasently.
"I, I just wanted to stay. Please don't make me go back, it's so nice now!" Leech begged.
"Alright, but come back in the morning, okay?"
"Mm! Thank you!" Leech smiled.
Tart shook his head and teleported away. Leech stood and walked along the side of the small pond, hoping they wouldn't get mad and get rid of her. They couldn't be that temperamental, could they?
Her thoughts switched to Kish and what he'd said. She thought she understood. He was hurt deeper than others thought, and had no confidence about those things anymore. She knew that he would love again, and probably many more times afterword, too. It always ended up that way.
Then she thought of herself. She'd never been interested in relationships. Ever. It just didn't look important. When would she ever-
"What are you doing? Tart said you'd be back in the morning, but why do you choose to stay here?" Kish asked.
"Oh, uh.....I just like to...I.." Leech stammered, feeling as though she'd recieved a huge electric shock.
"You like to just sit and think too, don't you?"
"Yes. You do that?" Leech asked.
"Oh yes. Often. But sometimes it's more fun to share it all."
Leech frowned. "What do you mean?!"
"I like to talk to others, but there's never anyone to talk to."
"We can talk. I don't mind it."Leech offered, feeling helpful.
"Okay. What is your favoite color? How do you feel about skin?" Kish
Leech and Kish began to trade absurd questions and learn more and more about the other. This lasted until about 4:23 AM before they reluctantly returned to the ship and slept.
Leech woke up in a cheerful mood. She had a good friend, for the first time ever. Leech produced a smile for everyone; today would be a good day.
