The Miracle of Luv, Chapter 5
"NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
"What's wrong! Ichigo-chan!" Minto screamed in fear, rushing to Ichigo's room. That scream was unmistakable; It belonged to Ichigo. Plus it was coming from Ichigo's room. Minto ran the whole 3 yards that it took to get from her bed, to the door and then to Ichigo's room and prepared to swing the door open but Ichigo pressed it shut.
"Don't come in!" Ichigo begged, her face burning bright red and black cat ears flat against her head in shame "Don't come in nya!"
"Ichigo, what's wrong!" Minto demanded, still trying to get it.
"Oh. It's you." Ichigo stopped struggling to close the door and let Minto push it open and then watched Minto fall over when the door opened so easily. Once Minto was inside, though, Ichigo kicked her away from the door and shut it again.
"Ichigo! What were you.. ICHIGO! Why aren't you in pajamas!" Minto demanded, seeing as Ichigo was wearing a large white t-shirt and extremely short pink shorts. Ichigo blushed and looked down.
"There... There weren't any PJs..."
"EH!" Minto shrieked, eyes wide with horror.
"Just these... So I decided to wear these because they were all I had..."
"Ichigo, you look like a girl a pervert would pay money to see! And I mean that in a bad way! Wait here, I'll let you borrow some of my PJs."
"Thanks..." Ichigo said quietly, still looking at her feet and blushing as Minto marched out of the room. Minto's stomping could be heard as she walked into her own room and then she stomped back, handing Ichigo a similar PJ set as the one in the second volume of the manga. Ichigo changed, hiding in her closet, and then came out, sighing in relief. Her and Minto now both looked like they'd just jumped out of the manga's sleepover party since they were both wearing the outfits they'd worn then.
"Domo arigatou..." Ichigo said quietly "I'm so glad I didn't have to wear that strange outfit..."
"I did us all a favor. Kisshu was probably being a perv when he gave you that outfit." Minto grumbled, arms folded over her chest and eyes narrowed. Baka hentai...
"Nyaa... I guess... I'm going to bed now."
"Ok. Good night." Minto said calmly, walking out of the room "I'll wake you up early so we can make breakfast."
"NYA!"
"Duh. You and me are the only ones on this ship who really care. And though it's probably suicide to ask you to cook, I don't want to eat an alien meal."
"Oh..." Ichigo nodded and watched Minto leave. This was the first time Minto had ever volunteered to work. Usually Minto was forced to work...
It must be beause Earth was destroyed... Ichigo thought sadly as she pulled her pink bed covers over her head, Minto really cared about being a Mew Mew... And now she's failed... Plus I'm not very comfortable here and just can't lead a team like this... She's just taken up the role of leader for me...
Ichigo rolled onto her side and sighed. This was such a nightmare... Not just Earth being destroyed but...
Kisshu actually looked cute. For a second, I swear I wanted to flirt with him and I kept feeling my cat ears burning on my head... About to pop out... And I wasn't thinking about Masaya... Oh shoot, what happened to him? Kisshu probably locked him up somewhere...
Ichigo rolled over again, very uncomfortable, and giggled.
Kisshu-kun got rid of Masaya just to be with me! Yay! Wait... I shouldn't be happy! What's happening to me! ... Oh well...
Ichigo smiled and then slowly drifted off into sleep. She wasn't really falling in love with that baka hentai... Was she?
Beep... Beeep... Beeep. Beeeeep. BEEEEEEEEEEEP! Click.
Minto moaned as she shut off the blue alarm clock in her room and slowly sat up in bed. If this were Tokyo, Japan (on Earth), it'd be about 6am right now...
Minto stretched her arms and slowly got out of bed, pressing her feet against the cold floor and shivering. Too cold! Her chocolate brown eyes were attracted to a pair of cozy blue birdie slippers across the cold floor.
... Perfect... Oh... But I don't want to walk all the way over to the slippers and get cold...
The stubborn parrot girl took a deep breath and then closed her eyes tightly. There was a loud popping sound and then, suddenly, a tiny pair of wings were coming out of Minto's back. She'd been practicing to make them appear but right now they were so tiny that she couldn't fly fair. But she reached the slippers, put them on, and then walked to Ichigo's room where her neko-friend was sound asleep.
"Ichigo." She hissed, her hiss being just loud enough to wake Ichigo up "Time to cook."
Ichigo sat up quickly and nodded. She'd decided the night before to make Kisshu breakfast. If the food turned out good then it ment she loved him, right? Who knows where Ichigo was getting her logic but it worked for her so we'll go with it...
"Coming nya!" She called, putting on a house coat and realizing Minto was also wearing a housecoat; only hers was blue with birds on it unlike Ichigo's pink-kitty housecoat. then, after slipping on some pink cat slippers, Ichigo followed Minto in the direction they believed the kitchen was. It must've been luck because they were actually going the right way.
"What can we make?" Minto asked while searching the kitchen.
"Pancakes? With strawberries and maple syrup!"
Minto paused, looking thoughtful for a moment, and then she nodded slowly.
"Very well. Pancakes. Get some pancake mix."
Ichigo and Minto both froze at this thought. Was there even any pancake mix on a spaceship?
"Uh... Maybe we can't make pancakes...?"
"Check the kitchen."
"Nya?"
"Check. The. Kitchen."
"Oh. Right, Minto." Ichigo nodded and started looking around the kitchen hopefully. Sure enough, there were enough supplies lying around to make pancakes.
"Just as I thought."
"Hmm?"
"Ohayo, Koneko-chan. Tori-chan." Kisshu called as he walked into the kitchen, checking his watch to make sure he was on time. Just as he'd planned.
"Oh. Did someone set their alarm clock for this special moment?" Minto asked, standing protectively in front of Ichigo. Kisshu nodded and then smacked himself. This merely made Minto smirk.
"Thought so."
"Eh?" Ichigo murmured, looking confused. She didn't know why Minto was trying to hide her... Nor did she know why Kisshu was trying so hard to get a look at her.
"Kisshu knew that you would try to repay his kindness with food since he's been stalking you"
Ichigo started blushing right away.
"and he knew you'd wake up early to surprise him with breakfast since you can't cook and breakfast is usually an easy meal to make. Because he stalks you."
Ichigo's face was burning red and her cat ears popped out, followed shortly by her tail. She sat on the ground, knees pulled to her chest, and just kept blushing.
"To make matters worse, he gave you those AWFUL clothes last night so he could see you.. Well... You know..."
It finally happened. Kisshu blushed so hard that even his ears were red and Ichigo turned into a cat. Minto smiled.
"...And match-making seems to be easier then I thought it would be."
After staying curled up for a minute, Neko-Ichigo looked up and noticed just how big her friends had become. The little black cat mewed and then looked at her paws.
The whole scene went quiet. Ichigo looked at her paws, then Minto, then Kisshu and then looked hopefully at Minto again.
"Not on your life, Neko. There's no way I'm going to kiss you." Minto snapped "I'll get kitty germs."
Ichigo hissed at this comment and then Kisshu walked over. This was his chance!
"I'll kiss you, Ichigo..."
Ichigo ran out of the kitchen and down the hall as fast as she could, leaving a trail of dust behind her. As the dust clouds settled, Purin and Retasu wandered it. They both looked terrified.
"Wh...What was that?" Retasu asked in a shakey voice.
"Ichigo is a Neko na no da!" Purin exclaimed "Someone must kiss her! Go, Kisshu-oniichan na no da!"
(insert the sound of crickets here)
"She just ran away to avoid that." Minto finally spoke up. Everyone sighed.
"Maybe after a little while she'll come out and kiss him...?" Retasu suggested nervously. Kisshu just hung his head in shame.
"She... Rejected me."
"Whoa. There's something I don't hear every day." Taruto said as he teleported into the kitchen "I am SO surprised!"
Kisshu growled and turning around to smack Taruto but the younger alien teleported away and appeared next to Purin.
"Wow, Kisshu. You've got great aim."
Kisshu tried to hit Taruto again but the midget teleported away and then teleported back with a sleeping Satou in front of him as a "sheild". Kisshu stopped and then growled at Taruto. Hitting Satou wasn't a good idea. She was supposed to be pairing him up with Ichigo, after all.
"I know." Retasu said quietly, trying not to draw much attention to herself "How about we play a game?"
"Yes na no da! Game!" Purin cheered. Minto looked over at Retasu, annoyed.
"Ichigo's a cat. We shouldn't be playing games."
"That sounds like a great idea." Everyone turned to find Zakuro had now wandered over, wearing a red t-shirt and a black skirt. It almost looked like she'd dressed to impress someone...
"...Why...?" Minto asked, before putting her hands over her mouth. Rule number one of being Minto! NEVER argue with Zakuro-Oneesama!
"If we play a game then we'll attract Ichigo and then we can have Kisshu kiss her." Zakuro explained. Minto took a deep breath and then nodded, now blushing a bit.
"Oneesama... May... I... Choose the... Game?" She asked slowly, turning redder by the second. Zakuro nodded and then an evil smirk found its way onto Minto's face and she turned to Kisshu.
"Wh-What!" Kisshu asked quickly, backing away from Minto. She looked kind of scary.
"Fuhuhuhuhu..." Minto chuckled, reaching into her pocket and taking Mikki's dog collar and leash out. Within seconds, Kisshu had a collar around his neck and was attached to a leash.
Kisshu gulped.
"Retasu... Get me some ropes. Purin... Get me the hardest ball you can find."
"Likes a bowling ball na no da!"
"Sure. Do you know where one is?"
"I do!" Taruto said quickly, raising his hand. He liked the direction this game was going "C'mon, Purin! Let's go get a ball!"
"Okies na no da!"
"What should I do with the rope?" Retasu asked quietly, now holding some ropes.
"Let's move into that party room." Minto suggested. She tugged at the leash and began dragging Kisshu into the party room.
"Why meeeeee?" He whined, clinging to the last of the kitchen floor tiles "This isn't fair!"
5 Minutes Later
Kisshu was tied up. He couldn't move. He couldn't even teleport for some reason. Plus he was taped to the wall. And he couldn't get down.
"What are you doing? I can't suddenly get to Ichigo if she appears if I can't move!"
"You'll manage somehow." Minto said with a shrug, holding a bowling ball that Taruto had given her. Taruto and Purin were sitting a good distance away from a bowl of popcorn and Retasu was holding a first aid kit while she stood with Pai and Zakuro near a wall.
"What kind of game is this!" Kisshu demanded angrily "This isn't a game!"
"It's dodge ball." Minto explained.
"YOU DON'T PLAY DODGEBALL WITH A BOWLING BALL!"
"Fine then. This is Dodge ball: Aizawa Minto style. Now don't move."
"In case you haven't noticed... I can't move..."
"Good. That's the point."
"How do I dodge the ball if I can't move?"
"I don't know. You figure it out."
Kisshu pouted and then looked over at the bathroom he'd locked Masaya in earlier.
"... Let's have Masaya dodge the ball."
"No. That's no fun." Minto explained "Now... You ready?"
"...No..."
"Too bad!"
With that said, Minto tossed the ball. Kisshu just looked horrified and decided to just accept this awful fate and Taruto was clapping. Retasu winced, Pai rolled his eyes, Zakuro shook her head sadly and Purin had just started doing the hula for reasons unknown to our sane minds.
And the words that everyone dreads... To be CONTINUED.
Satou: YAY!
Kisshu: x.x;;;
Satou: Hey, you're not dead yet. I never said if the ball hits or not.
Kisshu: ... Oh well. You're so mean.
Satou: I'm not. Minto is :3 Anyways, the couplings of this fic are on hold. Can't decide. Retasu/Pai or Zakuro/Pai? Minto/Kisshu or Ichigo/Kisshu? So hard to choose nyu ;;
Kisshu: ... So? Just do me and Ichigo and I'll be fine.
Satou: ...? Nya? But you and Minto are such a cute couple.
Kisshu: THROWING A BOWLING BALL AT SOMEONE ISN'T A LOVER'S GAME!
Satou: Yes it is 3 Anyways... Stick around for the next chapter! Does Kisshu get hit with a bowling ball? Does Ichigo ever become human again? Will we ever find out what's on Purin's mind!
Kisshu: ... I hope not.
Satou: -smacks Kisshu- SHUT UP! You just ruined a great closing line!
Kisshu: Whatever. What she's trying to say is to please review because it makes her feel loved.
