Twister91: Ichigo: (tapping foot) Antauri...
Antauri: (still holding Malachite) But he... and I... and um...
Ichigo: (takes Malachite from Antauri) Why don't you go play outside for a while, Malachite? (When Malachite is out of sight) HOW DARE YOU BULLY A CHILD! HONESTLY, I THOUGHT YOU HAD MORE CONTROL THAN THAT, YOU TYRANNICAL (continues to yell at him)
Antauri: (whimpers)
Ichigo: AND YOU AREN'T GETTING ANYTHING TONIGHT! IN FACT, YOU CAN SLEEP ON YOUR CHAIR IN THE MAIN ROOM; MALACHITE CAN HAVE YOUR SPACE ON THE BED!
Antauri: Wha-what? (Looks heart broken) But... but (runs off crying)
Guy who reads too much fantasy: WF: (growls) and what obvious is that? If you think the story isn't worth telling then why'd you bother reading? Humph! (Turns away but looks thoughtful) Although, I gotta admit, that chapter did suck. I didn't like how it came out. Oh well (realises she's agreeing) Um... I mean, humph! (Sweat drops)
Blossom268703: WF: Great minds think alike eh? LOL
Spirits Shadow: WF: (shadow falls over her) Huh? (Turns and sees Jade towering over her) Uh... maybe I can make you happy at the end or something? (Is crammed into her child proof lair and taped in) Help!
Ichigo: (oblivious) Bunny! (Glomps bunny you made) It's so cute and squishy and lovable!
For the love of everything read this! Can I ask that people with their e-mail hidden on their bios please unhide them? I wanna review and the only way I can is by e-mail, so can you please please please unhide them? Thank you.
Annoying is Fun!
"ICHIGOOOOOOO!" cried Malachite as he ran into the bedroom where Ichigo was, he jumped into her arms and started crying, "Antauri threatened me, and said I was... I was... a nuisance! Waaaaaaaaaaah!" Malachite cried loudly. Ichigo, to say the least, didn't look happy about it as she stormed into the room that Antauri meditated in and Malachite trotted along behind, eager to see what would become of the second in command.
"Antauri..." Ichigo growled, tapping her foot, "come out of hiding now or you'll just make it worse for yourself!" Ichigo heard some shuffling to her right and turned to see a glowing green eye peeping out from behind a stack of boxes. She let out an aggravated sigh,
"Please, Ichigo, it wasn't my fault! That little..." he stopped when he saw Ichigo glare at him, it was like a bunny with a bazooka: cute but deadly, so he decided to change tactics. He ran out from behind the boxes and scooped her into his arms, "You're so sexy when you're angry" he purred, trying to seduce her.
Ichigo facevaulted at the comment and blushed,
"Antauri..." she said quietly, trying not to look at him, "that was... THE LAMEST ATTEMPT AT TRYING TO GET OUT OF TROUBLE I'VE EVER SEEN!" Antauri stared in horror as Ichigo hovered eye level with him and began to berate him angrily.
Malachite watched with impish glee as Antauri was verbally torn apart by his smaller and usually gentle girlfriend.
'Man, this is great! Who knew being annoying was so much fun?' he thought as Ichigo stopped yelling, satisfied that Antauri was now curled up on the floor crying, and she smiled at Malachite as she picked him up
"Let's go get some ice cream, Malachite" she said, beaming at the trouble maker, "oh and Antauri?" she called over her shoulder; Antauri whimpered in response "if you make Malachite cry again, you'll be sleeping outside for a month! Got that?"
"Yeah..." came Antauri's broken and sobbing reply and, with that, Ichigo and a plotting Malachite left.
At the ice cream parlour, Ichigo watched Malachite run around the indoor playground eagerly, trying out everything and making a few friends. She smiled at him when he waved at her before running off to play tag; she sighed and turned back to her friend,
"You don't think I was too hard on Antauri, do you Fraz?" she asked the brunette in front of her who was a cleaning sundae glass. She looked up from her work and her blue grey eyes had a distant look in them, she pushed her glasses back up her nose and looked down at Ichigo,
"I think you could've been a bit more lenient; after all it's not like he's had much practice with looking after children, has he?" Fraz said in that reasoning tone of hers. Ichigo nodded in agreement with her childhood friend and sighed.
"I just hope he doesn't give up on the idea of having kids, I really want to see that premonition of his come true" she sighed again and rested her chin on the counter top. Fraz smiled at her, sympathetically,
"Hey, why not go out on a date with him? Show him how much you love him and try and clear the air between you two, how's that sound?" Fraz watched Ichigo sit up and ponder this for a while. Suddenly, her face split into a massive grin and she hugged the human tightly,
"Thanks Fraz! I knew I could count on you!" she squealed before calling to Malachite that it was time to go.
Antauri had moved from where he'd been curled up shaking like a leaf and was now sitting in his chair in the main room reading. He was so absorbed that he didn't notice Ichigo and Malachite enter. Ichigo shooed off Malachite, telling him to go see what the others were up to, before creeping over to her oblivious boyfriend.
Antauri felt the book being moved down and he saw Ichigo's face appear. He leapt back in shock and felt his body start shaking again,
"Ichigo, I swear I haven't done anything to Malachite! I've just been sitting here reading, I didn't do anything!" he whimpered and covered his head, "Please don't hurt me!" he felt Ichigo reaching towards him and braced for the first blow. But, instead he felt her hand rubbing his cheek and, when he looked up, he saw that she looked ashamed and guilty. He uncurled himself from his ever so manly defensive position and looked at her,
"What's wrong?" he asked, feeling worried. Ichigo climbed up beside him and hugged him tightly,
"I'm sorry" she whispered, and nuzzled his chest. Antauri looked shocked for a moment before he relaxed. He hugged her back and kissed her forehead; he lifted her face to look into her eyes and smiled.
"Apology accepted" he said, causing Ichigo to grin at him and they kissed softly.
When they parted, Ichigo crawled behind Antauri and started massaging his shoulders; Antauri purred and laid down to make it easier. Ichigo grinned and continued to soothe her boyfriend as she spoke,
"Antauri-koi, I was thinking... maybe we should go out tonight? Y'know just us two, alone in a forest somewhere, looking out at the stars or something"
"You mean like a date?" he asked as he turned onto his back and dragged Ichigo down on top of him. Ichigo squeaked in surprise before collapsing on top of him,
"Yeah" she replied as soon as she was comfortable, Antauri smiled and nodded. Ichigo grinned and kissed his nose happily before snuggling down on top of him.
"Where shall we go, my aibou?" she asked, feeling rather excited about the idea. Antauri grinned at her enthusiasm and thought about it, then he thought of the perfect place and chuckled to himself.
"I have a place in mind" he answered, sitting up. Ichigo looked as eager as a child at Christmas and she practically pounced on him,
"Where? Tell me!" she squeaked, jumping with excitement. He grabbed her to hold her still and grinned mischievously,
"It's a surprise!" he teased, causing Ichigo to moan and start begging him.
Ichigo tried seduction, bribes, crying, puppy dog eyes and threats. But nothing seemed to make Antauri crack; eventually it grew late so she gave up and left Antauri in peace. Antauri watched as she left for bed and waited until he heard her close the door to their bedroom before jumping up and running out to the exit tubes. Making sure he wasn't being followed, Antauri blasted off and headed towards the city.
'Oh this is so good! Ichigo doesn't have any idea what I've got in store for her!' he thought gleefully, feeling quite proud of himself.
And as Antauri faded into the darkened city, blending with the shadows, a pair of eyes shone as they watched and suddenly an almost evil grin appeared too as the owner headed for the exit tubes.
Woo hoo second chapter! Look at me go, I must have way too much free time.
Ichigo: Well you could revise for your French exam.
WF: What French exam (looks at exam timetable) Crap! (Runs and tries to cram as much knowledge as possible into her head)
Ichigo: (sighs) Review please!
