A princess. That's how I felt after Sunbird came to live with us in Capsule Corps. He treated me as if I were some delicate flower and when I protested he always replied that it was the least he could do for the girl who had saved his life…
Humming softly to herself Kiwi skipped quietly into the house and up the stairs to her room. It had been a month since Sunbird had come to live with them and life had been going smoothly, or so it seemed. Gohan continued to keep her at a distance but his eyes would follow her constantly. Not that she minded of course but it confused her. Why watch her if he wasn't going to talk to her?
While trapped in her pessimistic thoughts, Kiwi didn't notice the plastic bag. Stepping on it the girl let out a gasp and fell backwards down the stairs. About halfway down the stairs Kiwi felt herself crash into someone. It was Sunbird. His arm around her waist, he swung Kiwi so that she was pinned between him and the wall. Kiwi blushed at her clumsiness. "Uhhh…thanks Sunbird." The man smiled lazily and Kiwi realized how close their faces were. Sunbird leaned in and kissed her softly.
Kiwi's eyes widened in surprise as Sunbird moved closer and kissed her again more firmly. What was going on? Pushing him away Kiwi said uncertainly, "Sunbird…? What-what are you doing?" sunbird merely held a finger up to his mouth and murmured, "Hush for 2 seconds." Then loudly he declared, "Kiwi, if you will not do me the honor of being mine then I shall die." Kiwi felt her mouth drop. What the heck!
Sunbird was hot and everything but he wasn't Gohan. Shaking her head she said sadly, "I'm sorry Sunbird but I don't like you that way." Sunbird gripped her hands tightly and looked at her anxiously. "Is there someone else? Gasp! Is it…Gohan?" Kiwi turned bright red but said shyly, "Yeah…so I guess I'm going to go now." Sunbird nodded and after she disappeared he grinned widely. Unknown to Kiwi, Gohan had been around the corner and had seen and heard the whole conversation…
Gohan felt his heart beat quicken. He had come up to the roof hoping to find some rare moment of silence when he spotted Kiwi a few feet away from him. She was on her back with her eyes closed. Gohan contemplated whether or not to leave but after what he had heard this afternoon he wasn't so sure he wanted to go. He liked Kiwi there was no denying it. Why shouldn't he stay and enjoy her company?
At that moment Kiwi turned and saw him. A pleased flush crept up her neck as she said shyly, "hi Gohan…" Gohan smiled at her and sat beside her. "Hey Kiwi…it's been awhile since we talked." "I know." Hearing the bitter tinge in her voice Gohan turned to look at her. Kiwi was facing forward with her knees drawn up to her chest. With the small amount of moonlight shining on them he could see the trail of tears on her face.
Kiwi felt pathetic for allowing her tears to fall. She hoped to kami that Gohan wouldn't notice them in the dim moonlight. A moment later a warm hand was wiping them away. Embarrassed, the young girl blushed and said, "I'm sorry…I don't know—" her voice was cut off by Gohan's mouth. For a moment all Kiwi could do was open her eyes wide. Then without a second thought she kissed him back.
Yawn… I'm like…totally beat. I need rest…whatever…G'night. Hope u peeps liked this chapter… : )
