Sword-chan- O.Kie, I'm going to try to get this chapter- Chapter 5- done faster than Chapter 4. ::does the usual welcome to Saiken thing:: NOTE- This took a LOT longer than it should have because my computer got fried and it took a while to fix. Sorry guys! :: is hit on head ::
Pai- Why am I there again?
Sword-chan- Cuz I said so! -
Pai- Oh... great...
Sword-chan- ::claps hands:: Well let's cut to the chase!
X.x.X- So Perfect! -X.x.X
"Yes," Pai mumbled, stepping into a clearer view, "It is I," I edged closer to Kishuu. Pai always had been scary.
"Kishuu," I whispered, "I thought you said that others couldn't get here?" Pai heard that (-.-) Whoops.
"He said I could come anytime... for giving him that tracking device to put on you,"
"He's right," Kishuu admitted, shrugging. I laid a finger on the place Kishuu had kissed me 5 years ago. There was a tiny, tiny, tiny bump, right there. It had stayed on that long? And Kishuu had been stalking me... I shivered, wondering how much he actually saw. I took showers at least three times a day when I could and... yikes.
"How do I get it off?" I blurted, being a little drowsy with the thought of being watched while I showered.
"Say the password," Pai replied, eyes narrowing.
"What's the password?"
"I refuse to say so," huffed Kishuu, "What if she runs away?"
"I'd never do that..." I mumbled. Of course I wouldn't, I loved him. He was... different than Masaya. He made me feel secure. Like I could love him, and he wouldn't vanish the next day. Shut up, Ichigo. Shaking my head at myself, I lifted my eyes to Pai. Still scary.
"What favor did you want to ask us?" Yikes. He was scary!
"Well, it was you I wanted to ask rather..." Still scary. Stillll scary. He sat down in the chair beside Kishuu, his face starting to become tinted with pink. "You... you're still friends with that Midorikawa girl, right?" (A/N- Muahaha. I found out what Midorikawa means! GREEN RIVER! Sounds like St. Patricks Day in Chicago...)
"Retasu? Yeah."
"I was... sort of... wondering..."
"He loves her and wants to get you to hook him up with her!" Kishuu sang out suddenly. ()/
"Oh? I always... thought you were sortof... her type..." I nodded, wishing I had tea... the would really make the moment perfect. Get what I mean?
"Really?!?"
"Yes, really... Hm... I can't really force you guys into a relationship..." Pai's face fell at this. "BUT I know what she looks for. You gotta be sweet, smile when she drops stuff, not to loud... just... I dunno... try acting like a puppy!"
"A puppy...? Those earth pets?"
"Uh... Yeah... As in, be sweet, loyal, and never ever leave her for something stupid. Or never leave her, period..." Well, ths was uncomfortable, giving Pai freaking dating advice!
"Umm... yeah... I'll give that a try," he mumbled, flushing. After a few seconds, he vanished.
"D'you think it'll work out for him?" I inquired, glancing at Kishuu. Pai was scary, but I was worried about him, him and Retasu.
"Probably," came his reply, in a bored tone, "He does whatever he has to when he needs it,"
"I see..." Silently, I stood and walked to the hall. "I know you're still there, Pai," I giggled, losing my silentness.
"No I'm not I'm—oops..." he stepped out of his hiding place, behind a partially closed door that led to the bedroom.
"Soo..." he looked at the tossled and ruffled bed, "I judge you had a lot of... fun last night?" Kishuu came up from behind me, wrapped me in a hug.
"And what if we did?"
"Um..."
"Aw, Kishuu broke his virginity!"
"That's not like you, Pai..."
"So?"
"I think he's practicing his causuality for Retasu..."
"You're girlfriends right..."
"Anyways," Kishuu wrapped me tighter in his arms, "She was stingy,"
"Kishuu!!" Face flustered, cat ears up, I turned around.
"It's true..."
"Uh, well, I'll leave you to sort out your differences..." Pai laughed, and this time teleported away. For real.
X.x.X
"I love you..." Kishuu insisted, starting round two of a long, long game.
"I love you more,"
"Not possible!"
"Is to possible!"
"I'll cling to you like ivy to an old house," (:: holds up 'Say AW!' cue card ::)
"I'll love you more than... than... uh... than Purin loves... her monkey!"
"I win!" It was getting dark, and I was seated, cross legged, on the floor, facing Kishuu. It was one of those things. It just hit us- we loved each other. Oh my gosh, now we have to act all cute... but... I didn't mind. It really was cute, and kinda fun.
"And what if I said I loved you more than a nova is dead or dieing?"
"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you! It's tonight!" I cocked my head at his reply.
"Huh?"
"The blue nova thingymabobeedoodo!" Kishuu was unusually hyper after winning 5 games with 2 rounds of 'I love you!'.
"Yay!" I cheered and tackle hugged him. Squash goes Kishuu! (A/N- She's a bit hyped up too... oh my... -.-;; It's mostly cuz my computer got fixed today and I'm so happy I could tackle hug some random bypasser myself I also got the kewlest CD player. It's red on the outter part, and the middle has multicolored stripes goin' up n' down, some thin some FAT! It came with a matching bag P So I can listen to my J-Pop on the CDs I burnt now, cuz my old CD player is dead 0-0)
X.x.X
"It's tiiiime!" sang out Kishuu, watching my wrist watch.
"Whoo! OUT WE GO!" Of course, we were still a little too giddy. --; Well, who the heck cared? It's not like we were being watched... or WERE WE? No, just kidding. We weren't. Heh.
"C'mon then," he lead me out the kitchen- or back- door. I'd never been outside before, I realized. What would it look like...? I was surprised to see that it looked a lot like the backyards you'd see on Earth, in the suburban area- just no little kids toys everywhere, weeds, that sort of stuff. And the sky was so BLACK. There was no artificial glow from light pollution, no... nothing. Just a few stars and black, black sky. Leading me to the back of his little get-away, he seemed to notice how surprised I was and asked,
"Does this surprise you?"
"Just a little... I guess I was thinking, since it was on a moon, it'd be all like a sci-fi movie or something..." he laughed, almost breaking into hysterics, at my reply. Embarrassed, I dug my toe into the ground. I didn't want to take back the words, though. I can laugh with Kishuu like this, I thought, I can do anything with him... And immeadiatly wanted to shut my thoughts off because of the way that sounded, still being the Ichigo I almost always was.
"I- I'm sorry, Ichigo, it's just... sci-fi? That's like... alien kids bursting out of peoples chests!"
"Y-yeah, it is," I said, laughing at myself too. Kishuu shook his head, shook away the laughter, but still giggled through clenched teeth every now and then.
"This is the spot," he said, pointing to the ground in front of us. Just ground. No, actual grass.
"Why didn't you just do this to your planet instead of trying to take earth?"
"We couldn't. Moons... they aren't all firey, not that I know of. Our planet was... augh... bad..." I nodded, sorry I asked, wishing he'd stop flinching at the word 'fire'. A bright blue flower burst, and we bother shifted our eyes, knowing that it wouldn't be safe to look straight at it. Another, another, and another. This was it. The blue reflected in Kishuu's eyes, like he'd seen this so many times but forgotten it every time. It was some type of pretty I can't describe. Every here and there a red burst interupted the blue. So, for a while we just sat there, watched, silent. It seemed like forever, and then it ended... all the sudden, it didn't seem like it had lasted so long at all. I was the first to pipe up.
"That was... really beautiful. Thanks,"
"Your welc—thanks for what?"
"For... everything," I murmured, replaying the scenes in my mind over and over again.
Cared for me, fought for me, left me to go on, found me again, took me home... and everything that had happened. And I had only been there a day. Just. One. Day. Masaya... he had never even known Kishuu's name- erm, well, he sort of did, but he never remembered. And myself... he had been like a bug to me, something that never went away, something that bit me. I'd leave that bite alone but the bite came back, and back, and back. Now, if he was still in the insect category, he'd be... I don't know... a butterfly? Kishuu as a butterfly... no, he wasn't a butterfly. That was to small. Kishuu is my everything. (A/N- A commonly used phraise BUT fitting!) I shivered, got covered in goose bumps suddenly. How was that possible...? Moons don't have winds... Not natura—Oh. Two arms snaked around me, pulling me in.
"Should we go in?" Kishuu asked, whispering.
"You got weather...?"
"It's not home without the weather," he said, simply, "My home planet didn't have much of it, but I got so accustomed to rain, wind, that sort of stuff on earth... I dug out a large chunk of money and they did what they could,"
"I see," it was getting a little chillier, so I quickly added "Yeah, let's go in," I leaned in before standing, and kissed him lightly.
"No more punishment?" he asked, surprised when I broke it.
"No more punsihment," and a blue spark went up above our heads. So perfect.
Not forever.
