Candi: HOLA NYA EVERYBODY! I got reviews! (Squeals) I think this or the next chapter ish gonna be a lemon, so I'm gonna move this to a higher rating.

Kish: (shudders) she's soda-high and scary…

Candi: (climbs up on a ladder) you can't reach meeee! Squeeeeee!

Kish: Get down from there. You'll hurt it!

Candi: (innocently swings down) Hurt what? You mean you do like meeee?

Kish: (mutters) No… I'm worried about the ladder…

Candi: (joyfully) read on faithful viewers! Nyu! I don't own TMM!

Minto lay in her bed, as far away from Kish as she could be. This, unfortunately for her, wasn't very far… Kish had decided to stay as close to Mint as possible, abandoning his other post at the opposite end of the bed and making himself comfortable on a pillow beside Mint. Which was too close in her opinion.

Why, why, WHY did I kiss him? Minto thought, screwing her eyes shut as she felt Kish's hand brush her side. It was dark, and… he smelled really good… this is his fault! I wasn't planning on kissing him, but… c'mon Minto! Snap out of it! You don't actually like Kish! He's a perverted, insensitive jerk! Minto sighed. More like a strong, protective, handsome… Arghh! I'm doing it again! But nobody ever really liked me… everyone likes Ichigo… and so does Kish! But then WHY DID HE KISS ME!

Minto moaned in confusion, shaking her head and pushing her head farther back into the pillows. But Kish misunderstood the moan as something else.

"What's wrong my little Lorikeet?" He asked gently. Minto sighed, but smiled internally. And now I have a nickname. How cute…

"… Kish?" Minto finally turned towards him. His pale skin looked even paler in the serene light of the moon, and Minto was sure her skin did too. The moonlight flooded the room through Minto's windows, making everything appear shimmery.

"Hmm?"

"W-why… did you kiss me in that closet? Don't you like Ichigo?" Minto's chocolate brown eyes gazed deep into the alien's golden ones. They remained like that for a moment, everything seemingly still, until Kish moved. His mouth hovered near her ear, barely touching the outside of it as he grabbed her shoulders.

"Because you wanted me too… and I wanted to," he whispered, his breath warming her ear. Minto bit her lip, for her stomach suddenly felt jittery. Kish didn't move from his position, still breathing lightly into her ear. Then he did something that shocked her. He pulled her into a hug.

"K-Kish? What are you doing?" Minto whispered, pressed against his chest. Kish ignored her question, only pulling her into a tighter embrace.

Why the heck is he hugging me! He's in love with Ichigo!

"I did like Ichigo for a while," Kish started, still hugging Minto and seeming to read her mind. "Until she made it clear to me that she was in love with that human guy, Masaya. She never realized that I really did… love her…"

Minto pulled away from Kish, looking hard at him.

"So is that why you are pretending to like me? As a replacement for Ichigo?"

Minto stared at Kish, and then gasped as Kish paused, then pushed her underneath him, so he was on top of her. She gasped when he put his face directly in front of hers.

"You. Are. Not. Ichigo's. Replacement. Because. I. Like. You." Kish said, punctuating each of his words with tiny kisses against Minto's forehead. He smiled seductively at her and licked his lips as an afterthought.

"You know little birdie, you taste like… mints…" Kish said, leaning on his elbows to support his weight. Minto squirmed, blushing underneath him, and tried to lightly push him off.

Kish then sat atop her, looking like he was debating something. She was surprised when after a while, he heaved a sigh, and rolled off of her, going back underneath the comforter and not moving.

"Kish?" she said softly, poking the lump that was Kish.

"Hmmm?" Responded the lump.

"I… think you are… okay…" Minto said, her face a flaming shade of red. Kish reappeared slowly from under the covers, grinning, and lifted them so she could crawl under too, and then dropped them as she lay beside him, not yet facing him.

Ohmigosh. OHMIGOSH! Why did I tell that to him! But he said he liked me too. Okay, fine. I do like him! And when he kissed me, my stomach felt all warm, and my heart fluttered. Is this… love? Minto sighed in content as she felt Kish's arm wrap around her waist and pull her closer to him. But Minto suddenly had an idea, and she smirked at the evilness of it.

I won't let him have me just yet. I'm not that easy to get! I will make him work for me…

"Let me go you pervert!" Minto hissed, initiating her plan.

"What?" Kish's eyes widened in surprise.

"You heard me, get off of me!"

"But I thought you—"

"—well you thought wrong! So get off of me!"

Kish pouted. 'My little birdie is plotting something, I can tell. But what? … Oh well, I guess I'll just have to play her little game… my way!' Kish smirked.

"Oh, but birdie, you're so soft and you smell so good…" Kish said in a teasing voice.

"Well thanks for that information!" Minto said, turning away from him to hide her blush, and struggling to keep her plan working.

Oh, well, I guess I owe it to Ichigo! If we hadn't played that game…

Flashback again!

"Dare!" Pai shrugged. Kish laughed evilly, creeping out Tart.

"Fine. Pai, I dare you to rake off Zakuro's underwear and wear it on your head for us to see!" Kish smirked evilly.

"WHY DO I HAVE TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS!" Zakuro spat at Kish, who was looking pretty smug for one so evil.

"I refuse to touch her undergarments," Pai stated simply.

"What's wrong with my undergarments?" Zakuro turned on Pai, who remained as nonchalant as ever.

"Poor Zakuro-onee-sama!" Minto sighed sympathetically.

"A dare's a dare! You have to do it na no da!" Purin squealed. "Or else the evil melted marshmallows will come to visit you in your dreams!"

Everyone stared at Purin, and someone coughed.

"What? They visit me!" Purin said proudly.

"Come along wolf!" Pai stated, getting up and leaving the room.

"Oh, finally decided to touch my 'undergarments now, have we?" Zakuro hissed with venom, following him out of the room.

"That was gross Kish!" Ichigo wrinkled her nose in disgust.

"Really!" Retasu agreed.

"What? I think the guy's sake is getting to me!" Kish said in delight.

"Me too!" Ryou agreed, grinning unfocusedly.

20 minutes later

"Where are they!" Tart whined. Kish smiled (more like grinned) at his younger friend.

"They're probably off 'doing' things!" He cackled.

"Wow… Zakuro and Pai, huh?" Keiichiro shook his head.

"Any nyu, Kish isn't going again because he's perverted, so I'll go." Ichigo commanded. "Purin, truth or dare?"

"DARE!" yelled the excited monkey girl.

"I dare you to sit in Tart's lap for the rest of the game!" Ichigo smiled triumphantly.

"YAY!" Purin exclaimed in pure joy, seating herself comfortably in a blushing Tart's lap.

"Old hag…" he muttered.

"Thankies Ichigo-onee-sama!" Purin said happily. She grinned enthusiastically and scanned the group.

"Minto-onee-sama, truth or dare?"

"Dare," the bird girl replied smoothly.

"Why don't YOU have a boyfriend na no da?"

"…Because I don't need one." Minto blushed. "Ichigo? Truth or dare?"

"Hey! Everyone is forgetting me!" Ryou complained, still drunk.

"Shut UP Ryou. Ichigo?" Minto turned to her friend.

"Truth!"

"How far have you gone with Masaya?"

Ichigo ignored the squawks of protest from Kish, the giggles from the tipsy Ryou, the gasp from Retasu, the barfing noises from Tart, and the squeals from Purin.

"Second base!" Ichigo said proudly. She then glared angrily at poor Kish who was staring at her in mock disbelief.

"Now, Kish. Truth or da—"

"—dare me kitten…" Kish said sulkily. Ichigo broke into an evil grin (which is quite scary, for Ichigo is normally not an evil person!)

"Minto, today's your lucky day!" Ichigo smiled evilly at her best friend.

"W-why are you staring at me like that? Ichigo? Ooof!" Minto's eyes went wide when Ichigo shoved her into Kish, and then pointed to a nearby closet.

"You. Kish. Closet. Seven minutes." Ichigo directed. Ryou, Keiichiro, Purin, Retasu and Tart burst into laughter.

"Kish and Minto, sittin' in a tree!" Purin beaming.

"F-U-C—"Tart joined the chorus.

"Tart! Watch your language!" Kish scolded. Tart stuck out his tongue.

"What are you, my mother? And you know you want to! Screw her, that is…"

"YOU MIDGET!" Ichigo yelled at Tart, standing up for her best friend.

"Shuddup hag! I was speaking to Kish not you!"

"Excuse me, but it is not screwing little alien child, it is called making love," Keiichiro stated, obviously drunk, and lighting some incense. "Peace and love to all!"

"Keiichiro-san? You are drunk. I think you need to take a time out!" Retasu said, dragging him to a corner and putting him in it.

"Wait man! I, like, need my incense!" Keiichiro tugged on Retasu's shirt.

Kish sighed, and then grinned joyfully and licked his lips.

"C'mon birdie! This'll be fun!" Kish proceeded to drag Minto into the closet.

"Let me GO you pervert! I'm capable of going in there myself thank you!" Minto spat at him.

"Ooooh! Feisty aren't we?" Kish taunted her, letting her walk into the closet first.

End Flashback

And that's how I ended up kissing Kish. Then one thing led to another, and the next thing I know, I'm dared to sleep with the guy! Minto thought, still facing away from Kish and blushing. Well, at least my plan is working! He'll have to prove to me that he loves me before… before what? He kisses me? He kisses anything that moves! So why is it that I am now attracted to Kish?

"What is the matter my little bird? Are you…" His mouth moved to her ear as he breathed lightly, making her skin tingle. "…nervous?" Her heart skipped a beat.

I will keep the plan working! Minto struggled for coherent thought as Kish's hands slowly traveled down towards the bottom of her nightgown again.

"No I am not, now leave me alone Kish. I would like to get some—ah!" Minto's eyes widened as he placed his lips against the back of her neck, sticking out his tongue slightly to taste her skin.

Candi: Well, that's the end of chapter two. Review please and don't be too mean. There may be a LEMON in the next chapter, so stay tuned.

Kish: Review because I want to see what happens between me and Minto. Things are getting hot!
