The Miracle of Love 8
The girls had all changed into PJs and the horror film had been picked out. Now, the whole group was gathered around a TV in the party room. Kisshu had gone through the trouble of putting mattresses and sleeping bags out and he had labeled this mvoie watching event "A sleep over within a sleepover/kidnapping".
"What are we watching?" Retasu asled quietly, hugging a pillow and sitting next to Ryou. Ryou shrugged and just stared at the TV screen, seeming rather bored.
"Dunno. I think it's a horror film." He finally said. Retasu's twin braided pigtails seemed to curl with fear and her eyes went wide.
"H-H-Horror film?" She repeated. Ryou nodded and Retasu cowered behind her pillow, now trembling.
"Eh..." Ryou looked over at Retasu and then sighed, "It won't be that bad."
"You sure?"
"Very sure. Now calm down."
Retasu simply nodded and then moved closer to Ryou, her cheeks burning red.
"Purin's siblings wanna watch!" Purin explained, now marching into the dark room with 5 bowls of popcorn and her siblings marching behind her. How Purin managed to carry all this popcorn would remain a mystery. Purin took a seat next to Taruto, who snatched a bowl of popcorn and stared ahead at the movie screen.
"Ok. It's starting!" Ichigo called excitedly as the unnamed horror film began to play The credits were rolling and Kisshu had moved closer to Ichigo while Minto had scooted closer to Zakuro and was blushing insanely, like always.
"Ah!" Retasu screamed as some of the credits went up. She instantly passed out next to Ryou, who turned and stared at the poor KOed mermaid.
"Her fin is showing..." Ryou finally said, seeming a bit worried.
"Blah. Take her to a bath tub and let her rest there. We're watchin' a movie." Kisshu snapped. Ichigo slowly got up and walked over to Retasu, but Kisshu grabbed her foot.
"Let me go! I've got to go help Retasu!" Ichigo protested, turning a bit red as Kisshu began pulling her closer, "Yeeek! Stop touching me, you pervert!"
"Sit and watch with mee." Kisshu whined.
"I SAID LET GO!"
For some reason, Kisshu did let go and Ichigo scrambled away as quickly as she possibly could.
"She said let go, Kisshu, are you deaf?" Minto asked, her sharp fingers nails pinching Kisshu's ear and dragging him away from Ichigo.
"Ow, ow, ow."
"What's that, Kisshu? Pinch harder? Sure thing."
As the movie started, Ryou carried Retasu off to a bathtub with Ichigo following, her face bright red and cat ears showing. Kisshu was so mean! Why wouldn't he follow her? He couldn't possibly like the movie more then her, could he?
"WHAT AM I THINKING!" Ichigo shrieked. Ryou turned around and Retasu woke up, her fin fading back into legs. The green haired whale girl looked up and let out a yelp of surprise.
"Shirogane-san! Ichigo-san! What happened!"
"You passed out." Ryou replied. Ichigo was too busy spazzing over her Kisshu-related thoughts to notice her friend had woken up.
"... Oh... Gomen nasai! Eh... What is Ichigo-san doing?"
"She'll be ok. How do you feel, Retasu?"
"Fine... Uh... Oh, is the movie starting? Shirogane-san, you're going to miss it!"
"That's ok. I've probably seen it too."
Retasu just nodded, turning more and more red as every second passed. He'd carried her and...
"Uh... Would you like to watch with me, Shirogane-san?" Retasu asked quietly, looking up at him in a slightly hopeful manner, "I mean... If I get scared..."
"Ah. Uh.. Sure. Ichigo, get Retasu a pillow from Kisshu. She'll need something to use to drown out the sounds of the movie and not see what's happening."
"Uh... Sure! One kiss from Kisshu! I MEAN! One pillow from Kisshu!"
Ryou watched as Ichigo wandered off, her cat ears and tail showing as she hurried over to Kisshu. What a strange, spazzy girl... Yet, wasn't that what was expected from Ichigo Momomiya?
Ichigo hurried over to Kisshu and kneeled down beside him.He was lieing on his back and barely seemed to notice her, she was kind of strange. The movie was starting with some scarey opening part where someone died and mysterious music played and shevirs ran down your spine... Yeah, it was just an average horror movie.
Kisshu was busy watching the movie when Ichigo kneeled down next to him. It was sad, too, because he had the TV remote right next to him, and Ichigo's knee was pressing against the volume button...
Suddenly, a terrified scream from the movie and the disturbing sounds of guns and death-y-things filled the room and Ichigo screamed in horror, looking for the nearest thing to cower behind, which was Kisshu. The scared cat girl dove at him and pressed her head agaisnt his shirt, thinking he was a pillow.
"Uh... Ichigo?"
Ichigo frooze. The lights had flicked on and the movie was on pause. Zakuro was calmly turning the volume down while rubbing the scared girl's back to calm her a bit.
"Aw. We were at the best part, too." Minto pouted, "You ok, Ichigo?"
"Awwww... Why'd you guys ruin it? This was perfect." Kisshu whined, glaring at Zakuro slightly. Zakuro smirked at Kisshu and stood up, leaving Ichigo to Kisshu. Kisshu smiled and then slowly sat up and started rubbign Ichigo's back and...
"OW!" Kisshu exclaimed, "What was that for, Minto!"
"You horrible PERVERT! I cannot believe you. Ichigo, are you ok?"
"Ye-Yes." Ichigo said softly, leaning on Kisshu's shoulder, "I'm sorry."
"Don't be. I thought that was very cute." Kisshu comment happily, "Did you need something...?"
"Ichigo-san!" Retasu called, hurrying into the room with Ryou. Just as they entered, Zakuro left. Ryou slowed a bit and looked at her.
"There is nothing to worry about." Zakuro told him simply, "You have no reason to worry."
"Why do you say that?"
"We were both worried about the same thing, I believe. Ichigo-san is fine, Kisshu didn't do anything to to her."
Ryou didn't bother watch Zakuro as she continued to walk off. He just joined Retasu next to Ichigo.
"I heard you scream. Are you ok?" Retasu asked, "I'm sorry, if I hadn't needed you to get a pillow from Kisshu this never would've happened..."
"Oh. It's not Kisshu's fault. The movie scared me, that's all. Oh right, Kisshu-kun..."
"Hmmm?"
"Can I get a pillow for Retasu?"
"Sure thing... Come to my room and..."
Minto tossed a bowl of Popcorn at Kisshu's head and everyone just stared.
"Oh no you don't. Kisshu, you're a big boy. You can get a pillow on your own."
"Awww... But I'll get scared." Kisshu whined/lyed, "The hallway is scarey after watching that horror film."
"Then how about I come with you?" Minto asked, "Then you'll be happy?"
"... On second thought, the hall doesn't sound so scarey anymore. I'll be back."
Meanwhile, Zakuro was in the kitchen, a sad look in her eyes. She didn't know why she was sad, but felt like something sweet would cheer her up... The older Mew reached for a jar of what appeared to be candy drops, but a pale hand stopped her.
"Those are Taruto's." Pai said firmly, "He'll be mad if you take them."
"Oh. Sorry."
"No need to apologize. I just don't want him mad. Why would you want one of those, anyways?"
"I feel like having something sweet. Is there something wrong with that?"
Pai sighed and then haved to a cupboard opposite of the candy drop jar. He opened it quickly and took a jar out, handing it to Zakuro. Zakuro merely stared.
"What are these?"
"They're alien candies from our home planet." Pai explained, "Whenever we get sad, which is often, we have one and they cheer us up."
Zakuro paused a moment, then nodded and opened the jar. In side there were 3 round candies warpped in brown, rough paper. It was to be expected, though, Zakuro hadn't thought a dieing planet would have shiny warpping for their candies.
"There are only 3..." She said slowly, "Can I really have one?"
"Go on ahead, You can have mine."
"But what'll happen if you get sad...?"
Pie froze and then turned away.
"You guys will be here for a long time. I won't be sad or lonely."
Then he teleported off, leaving a Zakuro Fujiwara whose face was bright red. She took a candy out of the jar, unwarpped it, and popped it in her mouth.
And she felt happy. But it wasn't because of the candy.
Satou: WHOOP! I think I might've pulled off the impossible; Zakuro and Pai fluff! Sorry for the short chapter and lack of updates. ; I'll try to be more productive, okies?
