Chapter 4>>>>>>The phone call

The next day was the same, it was still snowing rather badly, and the house remained quiet. But while Kish and Minto were eating a snack that afternoon, the phone rang again. Minto had a feeling that it was gonna be Ichigo. She told Kish to be quiet and went to answer the phone.

"Hello?" she asked.

"Hello, Minto? It's Ichigo," said a voice from the other line. Yup, just as she thought!

"What up?" asked Minto while twirling the phone wire.

"I was wondering if………….I mean---if you don't mind----I---could stay at your house today? I----I mean just for a day--um……..can I--------

"NO!"the bird girl practically shouted, but as soon as she realizes what she'd just said, she corrected herself. "I---uh----meant why?"

"Well, I need a place to stay, cause since it was snowing so hard, it made a hole on my roof. The men are coming to fix it so, I need a place to stay for the day."

Minto didn't know what to do, it would be hard to hide Kish from Ichigo. She stayed silent, thinking of a plan.

"Um……..Minto, ya still there?" asked Ichigo, thinking her friend had hung up. No answer.

"Minto?" Ichigo asked again, a little bit louder this time. Still no answer.

"MINTO!" this time, Ichigo practically shouted at her friend.

The thinking girl snapped out of it at once, startled by her friend's loud voice.

"Huh? What?"

"So can I stay?" asked Ichigo eagerly

"Uh……..sure, yeah, sure you can," Minto answered slowly.

"Thank-you sooooo much!" Ichigo cried. "I'll come in half an hour, okay? See ya later! Bye," and with that, she hung up.

The bird girl put down the phone slowly, and walked back to the living room. Kish was sitting there still munching on the chocolate chip cookies she left out. She sat down next to him and started thinking again about what to do.

"So who called?" Kish mumbled with cookie crumbs in his mouth.

"Ichigo, she is going to come stay here for the day," she told him.

Kish nearly spit out the cookie crumbs once he heard the news.

"Ichigo? When?" he asked in an excited way.

Minto gulped, there it was again, the uneasy feeling. Kish's thoughts of love are going back to his long crush……………..Ichigo.

"She is coming in half an hour…………………………" she told him in a quiet voice. Her voice was so low it could barely be heard.

"That's only 25 more minutes!" Kish cried. "What we gonna do, huh? I can't wait to see my kitten again!"

That did it. She felt tears come to her eyes, Kish had not love her at all. All this while, he still loves Ichigo. She tried to gulp back down her tears but it was no use. I'm gonna be all alone again. She turned away, and cried silently. Tears just kept dropping from her eyes, they won't stop. Kish noticed the quiet Minto. He wondered what was the matter.

"Birdie?" he said.

She didn't answer. Kish moved closer to her and peeked at her. He then realized that she was crying. He wrapped his arms around her and tried to make her feel better.

"Aw…….what's wrong little bird?" he asked.

No answer.

Kish thought a minute and suddenly realized what was wrong. He licked her tears away.

"Jealous?" he smirked. "Then my plan must have worked!"

She stopped crying, she stared at Kish confused.

"Huh?"

"Ya see, I came up with this little trick, ya know, to try to get you to admit it. So, I pretend to be REALLY excited and happy about Ichigo coming over!" He smirked. "And you know what, it worked too! You admit it!" He hugged her tightly.

She glared at him in shock and embarrassment. But she gave up wanting to yell at him and relaxed when he felt his lips touch hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. Kish pulled her closer; he licked the outside of her mouth, asking for entrance. Minto opened her mouth slightly, leaving a gap just big enough for him to slip his tongue in. She moaned as he explored her mouth slowly. They finally broke away. Kish smiled at her.

"You mean you are really over Ichigo?" she asked.

"You don't need to have any doubts," Kish told her.

She thought a while.

"Why would you stop loving her? I mean, you've like her for such a long time…………….why would you stop now?"

"Well, after I realized that it was no use trying to win her heart, I decided that I must quit. It doesn't really matter anymore, she loves that crush of hers no matter what I do."

"Well, then, how did you decide that I should be your next crush?" she asked.

"I don't really know………………I just started liking ya, that's all. After spying on you that night, I sorta got hooked, and then one thing leads to another. I dunno why though," he scratched behind his head.

"So after Ichigo, you started to go stalk me eh?" she smirked.

"Now you're the one who's doing the teasing now!" Kish said.

"You deserve to be teased after all that embarrassment I went through cause of you,"she said.

"The one I liked most was when you got all jealous and sad over me cause you thought I still love Ichigo," he told her. "But you're cute to me, either way." He stared into her chocolate colored eyes for a moment.

"You're better than Ichigo anyway………………I never had to go through all that trouble making ya love me. Plus, you gave me back the love I wanted." He added.

Minto sigh and leaned back into Kish's chest. This was the first time she ever felt loved, by someone besides her family. She gave a quick glance at him. He was pretty cute, with that forest green hair and the beautiful gold of his eyes. How could Ichigo have missed that? And all the while she had been so rude to him, even broke his heart a couple of times. But it as better off that way too, or she and Kish would have never got together. And if they had never got together, she would be all alone……………..and she doubt any other man would like her.

"You won't leave me………………will you?"she asked after she was finished with her thoughts. "I mean, you'll stay with me…………………"..

"Don't worry, birdie, I won't," he said as he hugged her closer to him. After a minute, he asked her a question that turned her back into her snobby self again.

"So can you admit you like me now?" he asked in a cute begging kind of way. "Common, my bird, you know ya gotta do it someday…………………..

"Ok, ok, I like you, happy?" she grumbled as her face turned red.

"Yay! You finally admit it, birdie!" he said in delight. Minto's face turned redder, and redder.

"You look so cute when you blush," Kish told her, he placed a quick mini kiss on her forehead.

"Hmmph!" she crossed her arms and turned away.

"Acting tough again, aren't you?" he teased.

"Jerk! You know I don't like it when you talk like that!" Minto said in her usual snobby way.

"I was only teasing," he told her playfully.

After a while later,the girljumped up, remembering that Ichigo was going to come over soon.

"Oh my gosh! Ichigo is coming over in……………………" she calculate the minutes that just passed. "She's coming in ten minutes! What do we do! She can't see you here!" Minto paced back and forth, panicking.

"What about I just hide in the guest room I sleep in every night?" Kish suggested, trying to calm her down.

The bird girl snapped her fingers.

"Bingo! But you MUST stay in there until I knock on the door," she told him in a serious way. "Here's the deal, if she's gone, and you can come out again, I'll knock on the door EXCATLY three times, no more! Got it!"

Kish nodded.

"Do ya need to act so serious about it?" he asked and gave a cute sad face.

"Uh………..sorry……………I just got hyper cause there wasn't much time to prepare," she told him.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

"OMG! I bet she's here! Kish, the guest room! Quick!"she whispered loudly.

Kish nodded again and raced up the stairs to the guest room, while Minto ran to the door. It rang again.

"COMING!" she called.

Candyberry: That is...the chapter

Kish: Is that ALL you're gonna say?

Candyberry: Well...yeah...well...anyways this chapter is in very bad writing style cause I got really nervous! I don't like writing fluff, it gets me all stupid and makes me write like a two year old! NYA! My hands are all numb! Wait till the lemon gets here, then the REAL problem will come!
