Sword-chan- Hi! Welcome to Chapter 2 Of Saiken! CUE THEME SONG!
Kishuu- It has a theme song now...?
Sword-chan- Kishuu, I have something to say.
Kishuu- Yes?
Sword-chan- First off- DUH IT HAS A THEME SONG... cuz I'm weird... Secondly- I am resigning from my spot as a fangirl. For all manga/anime people!!!!
Kishuu- ::sigh of relief::
Sword-chan- ::Nod:: Now we're partners in crime xD. Look back on my most recent fanfic chapters- you'll see how! ::does flashback while playing the background music for Koi A La Mode- that fast-paced fast fun kiddy stuff :: See?
Kishuu- Yeah, yeah, sure, whatever. What's the theme song?!?!
Sword-chan- Summer Days by DAI...
Kishuu- WHAT? But... THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PLOT!
Sword-chan- Just kidding. I just think Summer Days is a funneh song. Even though I don't know the tune... I sing it anyways... WAIT! HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT SUMMER DAYS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PLOT, HUH? I mean, it all happens in the SUMMER! Kishuu listens to Do As Infinity! Le gasp!
Kishuu- You implanted it in my brain... remember?
Sword-chan- Oh yeah... ::watches behind-the-scenes tape:: O.K... fast forward over you singing the Anastasia song thingy... that's for our last potions class... Ah! There it is!
Sword-chan-on-tape- MUAHAHA! ::implants Do As Infinity complete songs from Break Of Dawn in his head::
Sword-chan- I see, I see. Anyways, the theme song is Shinjijitsu No Uta... ::sticks out tounge:: Y'all have to go find the lyrics is you don't already know them. I don't know why I had the urge to pull Do As Infinity into this, but I listen to their songs a lot as I write. It rawks. So, shall we begin the chapter now? O.K! CUE THEME SONG! (for real) ::four minutes and six seconds later:: DISCLAIMER (I always forget these .;;)- I don't own Tokyo Mew Mew. If I did, 4-Kids would be sued on the spot, and Purin and Taruto would get a lot more time alone... o.O
LET'S START CHAPTER 2!
X.x.X ... What Five Years Can Do ... X.x.X
"Kishuu?" I gasp out, startled, although I knew it was him all along. "How'd you find me...?"
"That's my little secret. I'll have to thank Pai later..." he said, chuckling, but cut himself short, and in a softer voice asked, "What's wrong?" I bit my lip, wondering if I should tell him that he was right- Masaya was causing me pain. I stepped forward, slowly at first, but only knocking off the first few centimeters of the few yards between us- but that didn't make much progress-, but then broke into a run, practically crashing into his chest. Obviously, that surprised him, because I could feel him shift to the side a centimeter or two.
"You were right..." I whispered, burying my face into his chest- he had gotten taller, that was as high as I could reach-. "There was all this smoke and... pervs and candy catelouges..." (A/N- You think I could go without mentioning the CANDY CATELOUGES? ::ish offended::) I felt his hand rise, and gently stroke my hair- which had fallen out of it's pigtails while I was running... and those were my favorite tie-backs...-.
"It's all o.k, K—Ichigo. Don't worry..." he held me for a second more, then pushed me back. "We'd better get you home..." his eyes locked into mine, as if he was sad I had to go after just finding me.
"No..." I murmured. "I don't want to go back. I want to get away... My parents will ask what's going on anyways. They don't need to know. I'll say I'm at Minto's or something..."
"Ichigo..." for a moment I thought he'd say no, and tell me to go home, but if he was, he obviously changed his mind. "O.K... I'll take you away," he spoke softer than ever now, and I wasn't sure if it was really Kishuu I was talking too. A thought hit my mind. How will we get wherever? Just when I was about to ask, a loud wind sounded and everything streaked together. The half-moon quickly faded and the stars seemed to turn off, and I found the scenery change, stay in one spot for a few seconds, then change again. Wincing with the sudden blow of wind, and almost nauziated by the whirling world around me, I remembered he could teleport. Five years could do a lot to the memory.
X.x.X (A/N- Things get fun around this time! ::feels uber excited::)
"Mmf..." I felt solid ground beneath me and something warm above me. Rolling over groggily, a room and Kishuu's face came into view. "Mmph..." I mumbled again. Where was I?
"Hey, you're up!" greeted Kishuu's bright voice.
"Where am I? What time is it? Agh... my head..." my hand automatically flew up to my head; I could barely hear myself speak.
"'Round midnight. And welcome to moon Kishuu!" he sounded so happy, as if just being there was a carnival, and he was the little kid scarfing down cotton candy and skipping around trying to win prizes. A giggle escaped my mouth, but it hurt a little.
"Moon Kishuu? And I blacked out after we were a few miles away from Tokyo—or some big city..."
"Yeah, this is my very own moon. Everyone get's them as soon as they come of age- a place to escape to so we don't do anything stupid, I guess. No one else except those we visited it know where it is, and no one except the owner and his guests may enter. Kinda cool, huh? This one is in Galaxy AR34N0, A.K.A Blue Nova Lane... because every few months you can see a bunch of star's die- nova- in blue, all at once. Like—ah, humans call them... oh yeah—fireworks. Kinda like that." He explained quickly, closing his eyes after, remembering the Blue Novas, I guessed.
"Sounds pretty..." I murmured, although, to me, I sounded almost silent, much quieter than a murmur. I felt so tired, but it hurt to close my eyes- and I didn't really want to sleep anymore, either... "So... what's coming of age anyways?" a blush spread over Kishuu's face. He looks kinda cute when he was beet-red...I observed mentally, and, by habit, one side of my mind told me to shut up. I'm single, dangit!, I argued, REMEMBER? Ouch. Single... I hadn't been single since I was 12. But... was I really? Kishuu had to still have feelings for me... after taking me here... I felt so mean, all the sudden dragging him into this just because I'm ready. Isn't that sort of toying? Oh well. Didn't matter. I climbed out of my mind for the second or third time that day- erm, since the day before. It WAS midnight; 12:00 AM... as in, the next day...-. My headache faded to another corner of my mind and I giggled.
"You're blushing..." I giggled like a little girl, my hand partway to my mouth. Kishuu blushed even more. I felt my common sense- which had been telling me to shut UP ever since I started thinking about Kishuu being cute- turn off and something- hormones? Weird, locked up desires? Who knew?- kick in. Not full gear, but switch on a little. I scooted towards him, and when I reached his side, scooted onto his lap, sitting sideways.
"Urmmm... what is it you're doing?" Hey, he was stammering... he'd never done that before. Had something changed? Or was it just me? I wrapped my arms around him, forgetting whatever had turned on had told me to do. My common sense switch was on a dim, though, and it was all 'Do whatever, don't just do anything stupid, it's been five freaking YEARS, Ichigo!'.
"Thanking you," came my quiet reply, and I rested my head against him, like a pillow, and felt wet tears flow down my face.
"Ichigo," he said softly, hugging me back, "Do you want to tell me about it?" I nodded, and started to spill out the whole story. Every detail, and multiplying the tears I'd cried.
X.x.X
"... and that's when I ran out onto the sidewalk and you found me," I finished. Now I was sitting on the bed- he said he had placed me on the floor because I looked so cute curled up like that, with my cat ears up. They still hadn't gone down from Koishikawa's.-, with him right next to me. My knees dangled- he sat cross legged-. I have to admit, we were a pretty cute sight, if anyone would have seen us; don't count my stained face and the fact I was still crying over an ex in a potentials presence.
"That's... to bad... I'm sorry,"
"There's no reason to be sorry... I should have listened to you... and I feel so bad about imposing on you like this," Truth be told, I didn't. I wanted a place to escape and if I felt anything it was thankful.
"Ha. Don't lie... and I would've taken you home any day, any time," I felt his hand find mine, and hold it. Did he really still care? Should I ask? I didn't need to.
"Ichigo... I still love you..." he whispered, locking his eyes onto mine. "Should I tell you my story?"
"I'd like that," I whispered back, even though we didn't need to. No one could hear us. And, for once, I was fine, being all alone with him. He could do whatever- I didn't care. My heart was so warm; Kishuu had melted all the hurt from Masaya away. I squeezed his hand a little tighter, a sign for him to continue, I guess.
"O.K... after I left Earth, I thought it'd all be o.k... If you needed me, I could find you- remember the last time I kissed you? On the cheek? That was just an excuse to put a tracker on you. It's the size of a tick and can't come off unless the person who put it on says the password...-. Well... everything seemed good. No more fire, green trees, water..." he shivered at the memory of the fire, then continued. "But it wasn't o.k. Not without you there... I even missed you slapping me..."
"Sorry about those... I was convinced... y'know..."
"Don't worry... they did sorta hurt though..." he winced, out of habit I guess, then kept going. "So I came back to earth, and lived on the ship. I watched you for four years- I spent about a year pining for you, and planning-... Stalked you, maybe, but it kept me satisfied... until seeing you had created an obsession, triggered memories I'd locked away. I wanted to talk to you, but I knew you'd just push me away," he was right. I would have. My ignore-and-hope method had consumed me totally... now, if he came in the middle of the night to talk to me, I'd probably tackle hug him and... ah! Stay... on... topic... Ichigo! Listen to the story!
"So I waited, coming into your room occasionaly when you and your family were away..."
"It was you who stole my bra, then?"
"Huh? Um... ye- n- Taruto dared me!" Kishuu insisted. I just laughed and told him to continue.
"I was tempted to leave a note, something to tell you I was with you, but I couldn't... And I watched you like that until that night... I waited, and waited for a chance to talk to you but... I didn't want you to be hurt,"
"I don't hurt much anymore," I smiled weakly. "Not with you, anyway". My heart fluttered in my chest, and all the good things I'd overlooked about Kishuu came to view. He didn't stare at my chest, although he wanted too, he'd do anything for me... and I'd SLAPPED him. Bad hand! Bad Ichigo! Luckily, I knew how to repay him...
"Kishuu? I have two questions," I said, trying to look cute for him. He shifted to face me.
"O.K, shoot,"
"One- Did you meet any other girls who liked you?"
"A few... I was too worried about if I fell in love with them and I forgot about you, though... which I wouldn't do, I'm sure, but... Better safe than sorry, I guess..."
"Two- Remember on Tokyo Tower, when you said we could continue later?" I leaned closer to him. He was silent, so I finished my question. "Can we continue?" he smiled. We really were back to square one- Kishuu's other side came back to surface again. I didn't mind, and square one was a good start anyways. I felt my cheeks burning, but I gave him a smile back as he said "Of course, kitten," Forget square one. I was on my way to cloud nine- or at least cloud eight.
X.x.X- End Chapter 2- X.x.X
Sword-chan- ::smiles:: This ish fun!
Kishuu- YOU HAD TO END THE CHAPTER?
Sword-chan- Forgive me, but it only seemed right... I'm glad I got two reviews. I was surprised to get even one, after just posting it yesterday... and already you get another chapter. I hope this one is longer than the last... ::twitch:: So I'm replying to the lovely two reviews I got!
Kitty Help- You got quite a bit of fluff... ::squeezes out of fluff:: In the original- before I lost that part, but it was for the better- Ichigo just leaned on him as a pillow, and then noticed the bed, which led to him telling her she looked cute with her ears up, then she said "They must be from... the other night..." Flashback. Cry. "You're still not... over him are you?" talk. Tell story. End chapter. Then I edited and added that part up there... I hope you like it.
Konieshie Kuzomukie- ::gasp:: being too lazy to sign in ish bad! Not. I do it all the time. Poor Mikel. You must be a nice person to review lil ol' Me. I ROCK? I ROCK? OMIGOSH I ROCK! HEAR THAT PARTNER IN CRIME? I ROCK!
Kishuu- ::grumbles that she'd rock harder if she hadn't ended the chapter right then and there::
Ichigo- ::is still pink cheeked about the fact she'll be 'continuing':: Ee! Screw Masaya LETS GO DO IT KISHUU!
Sword-chan- Shut UP, Ichigo! Gawd... anyways... Konieshie Kuzomukie- Aaw I wanted those cookies. I'm glad you thought it was awesome. I guess Masaya getting high was a rather nice touch. ::stiffles giggle::
Masaya- I'm not a real drugee you know... ::prepares to bash Sword-chan's head in::
Kishuu- NOO! ::blocks dodge:: I wanna see the end of this!
Sword-chan- Sorry Masaya. You don't end up with Ichigo this time. xP That's why it's a KICHIGO fan fiction! Well... anyways, I'd better get started on chapter three- it'll continue the watchamakallit... Ichigo, I understand you like strawberry scented lipgloss and can't go a day without it, but COME ON. You were pulled off the SIDEWALK in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. I think it's worn off by now- in other words- NO LIPGLOSS ON MY SET! ::snatches lipgloss away and goes into dressing room to see if it'll make her look more like Ichigo- I'm jealous she's so cute:: ::cry:: Soooo... Review! REVIEW REVIEW REEEEVIEW! Or the sharks get an early dinner of... PAI, TARUTO, KEIICHIRO, ROBIN HOOD AND LITTLE JOHN! NEE EHEEE HEE HEEEE! By the way, I recited the first and first half of the second chapter- I wasn't finished with it yet when I recited- to my friends after our lunch at school. They half killed me when I said 'End chapter!'... Sigh. I've already lost them... ::points to Ali and Madi who are clawing at the door, trying to read the rest:: ::evil laugh:: (10 minutes later) ::clears throat:: ::continues:: ::coughs:: O.K... ::cough:: See you in chapter three!
