Ch8: Familiar Love

"Will you be mine?" He whispers very gently in her ear.

Ichigo is sitting there puzzle. She doesn't know what to say. For some reason her mind is saying no, but her heart is saying yes.

"You don't have to answer right away."

"Okay." She is so glad that he said that. Right now she is in confusion.

"Can I hold you a little longer?"

"Sure."

"Thank you." She has no idea what this means to him.

That night

Ichigo is doing her homework on her bed. She's having a hard time with it because wondering what to tell Oneko. 'OHHH! I don't know what to tell him! I don't want to hurt him.'

There's a knock on the door, "Ichigo, it's me can I come in?"

"Sure mom." She sits up.

Her mom comes in and sits down next to her. "So who's that boy?"

"A guy from school."

"Do you like him?"

"Ummmm." She turns bright red.

"What did something happen between you two?"

"He told me that he loves me, but I don't know what to say. I'm so confuse right now, mom. What should I do?"

"Follow your heart."

"What do you mean?"

"Ichigo, your heart is the one that makes the decisions not your brain."

"Why not your brain?"

"Because your brain controls the body, but heart controls your emotions. Do you understand?"

"Yes. Thanks mom." She hugs her.

"Your welcome. Now finish your homework." She gets up and leaves.

After her mom leaves, Ichigo lays back down on her bed. She thinks hard. She still not sure if she loves him……then it hits her. She now knows her feelings for him. She'll give him her answer tomorrow at school.

Dimension

Oneko is sitting on his bed. "She'll probably say no. I don't think she'll ever love me…." He hits his head. "Maybe she'll say yes. What's his name isn't here to steal her away from me. If she says yes then it will be hard for me to tell her the truth about this world…."

He sits there in silence. He wishes that this was the real world because then he'll have a chance with Ichigo. He hits his head again and starts to cry. "Ichigo…..I guess I'll never be with you, but I love you…." Then he cries himself to sleep.

Ichigo's dream

"Why won't you listen to me! Be mine or die!" That's all she keeps hearing in her dream.

"Kish I won't!" Then it goes all quite. "Kish?"

"Ichigo, I love you. Why can't you be mine?" He grabs a hold of her.

"Let me go!" She's trying to get away.

"I wish you would listen to me." Then he kisses her.

For some reason Ichigo lets him and she kisses him back. She doesn't why she doing this. Ichigo thought that she hated this guy, but he reminds of someone….but who?

Morning

Ichigo sits up. "That Kish guy…it seems like I hate him, but I kissed him back. He seems so sad. I wonder why I don't like him…"

Ichigo gets up and gets ready for school. She can't get this Kish guy out her head. She knows she seen him somewhere before, but where?

School

She isn't really listening in class. She can't Kish and Oneko off her mind. They seem similar to her. She confuse because they are two different people….well that what's she thinks.

At lunch Ichigo is sitting alone on the roof to clear her mind. She seems to being doing that a lot lately. It's starting to annoy her.

"Hi Kitten."

Ichigo looks up. She smiles at him. "You want to sit with me?"

"Sure." He sits down next to her. "Are you okay?"

"Yes. Why are you asking?"

"Because you seem out of it today."

"Don't worry I'm okay. I just had been thinking."

He doesn't say anything. He grabs hold of her. They are in the same position from yesterday, but this time it feels like he'll never let go. Also it feels like he's afraid to lose her.

"Oneko?"

"Yeah?"

"I had another weird dream last night."

"What was about?"

"There this guy…"

"What guy?"

"His name is Kish. He loves me, but I don't love him."

"I see." He tightens his grip on her.

She looks at him. "Is there something wrong?"

"No."

"Are you sure? Because you can tell me anything that is troubling you."

"That's very nice of you, Ichigo, but I'm fine really."

"If you say so. Oneko?"

"Yes?"

"There is something I need to tell you."

"What is it?"

"Oneko I….." Then she gets out his grip and kisses him. When she's done, Ichigo smiles at him and says, "I love you."

"You do?"

"Yes."

He once again holds her. He can't believe this. It seems like a dream. "I love you too. Now may I kiss you?"

"Sure."

He leads down and kisses her. She kisses him back, but it seems like he kiss her before. Now, she's bewildered, but she forgets out about when Oneko deepens the kiss.

When he is done with the kiss, "You like?"

"Yes." She warps her arms around him.

"Ichigo, I need to tell you something really important, but I can't."

"You don't have to tell me now."

"I'm afraid I'll never be available to tell you."

"You don't have to." She puts her hand through his hair.

"But I have to."

"Take your time. Tell me when you are ready."

"Ok." Ichigo doesn't notice that he looks sad. He finally has her, but he knows that they have to return to the real world soon. Right now he doesn't care about that because he still has a little time to be with her. To him it a little time will last forever.

Me: (Stands up rubbing my head) Pudding why in the hell did you do that?

Pudding: Because you wonder what's it like to be passed out.

Me: I said Passed out! Not knock out!

Pudding: Sorry.
