Chapter 3 Free At Last!

Michiko's POV

"Good." I lifted him up by the hands. "Brace yourself. I'm a suprisingly good kisser." I grabbed his collar and dragged him towards me. As I closed the distance between us. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Red glow with jealousy. Huh. Interesting.

Shina's POV

I saw the light between them. It saw bright white. Good. If it had been blue, it meant insanity. black was death (A/N: Of course.)

Michiko leaned back her head and whispered. "Licentia." Then opened her mouth wide. Out came the Spirit of the Rat.

It wrapped it tail around Michiko's finger briefly and said. "Gratia." Then it turned to Silverado. "Vultus subisto vobis. Vos abeo procul mos. Est idem eadem idem pro totus vestrum." (A/N: I don't take latin, so I'm not sure if I got that right.) Finally it blew away in the wind turning into diamond dust.

Michiko turned to Silverado, with a mischievous look in her eyes. "Now, hug you lover." She shoved him towards Red. He landed on top of her.

Red giggled and blushed. "Why Yuki, I never you'd be one to be so bold." she teased.

Yuki, now having a skin color consistant with a tomato, got up and then helped her up. "I am sorry, Miss Kuragi."

"Yuki," she wrapped arms around him and buried her face in his chest. "Call me Machi. Please call me Machi." (A/N: I'm sorry about Machi's oocness. But that's how she's staying. She is a blank canvas I desperately want to paint with yellow, green, purple and , of course, red.)

Yuki wrapped his arms around Machi's shoulders. He looked like he was trying to savor every inch of her. "Machi." he whispered into her ear as she smiled.

AW! How romantic! I thought.

"Good God!" Michiko yelled. "Get a room."

I glared at her. "Leave them be, will you?" I said as scornfully as possible for me.

"My word, Na." Michiko rolled her eyes. "Have a cow."

"It's sweet. Don't spoil it for them."

"Sweet things make sugar high babies." I blushed at the implications.

Mareo's POV

I began to divide up the rest, pointing to each one in turn. "Sugar and Cookies n' Cream, go over to shina. Shigure and Orangey go to Michiko. "

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" the yang yelled at the top of his lungs. My God. This is supposed to be Yang? I always thought he would be quiet and good-natured. I noticed Michiko focus hard on him. His voice became mute. I could still read his lips. My name is Kyo, you son of a . . . WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY VOICE!

Michiko's POV

Now that she had silenced him, michiko shoved him into a chair, put her hand on both armrests and leaned forward. "Hello, Kyo. If you want your voice back I suggest you calm down or I'll make sure you never speak again. Gottit?" Not pausing for a response. (A/N: Not that he could give one. HAHA.) "Orange is a very deviant color. It's bold, bright, and unique. It's the color of the sun, accountability and my preference. Don't be ashamed of having such a beautiful color on your head and in your eyes."

"Thank you." Kyo said finding his voice. Actually I gave back to him a while ago; he just didn't notice.

"You're welcome. Now I saving be for last so, Shigure do you really want to be free?"

"Oh, Michiko! Am I that unattractive?" Shigure was really good at fake offense, but I was as bad at spot fake hurt as my sister.

"Shuddup! The sooner you answer, the sooner I kiss you, the sooner you'll be free."

Shigure's face turned suprisingly serious. "I'd give anything to be free."

Michiko smiled. "Good."

Meanwhile Shina's POV

I have learn that my sister attracts chaos. I learn to put up with it. So I just ignored the noise she was making and focus on the adorable midget teenager I had on my lap. "So Sugar, What's your name?"

"Momiji."

"Aw. What a cute name. Well, Momiji do you want to be free with all your heart?"

"Yes."

"Good, cause I want to free you." I pulled him towards me and I immediately felt something bouncing around in my mouth. Huh? I gasped out "Licentia," and opened my mouth. A rabbit hopped out of my mouth.

"GRATIA!" It licked my face and blew away. I saw Momiji run towards Tohru. "TOHRU! I CAN HUG YOU NOW!" Then he practically jumped on her. A big sweat drop appeared on everyone's head.

Shina shook her and sighed. "Such an enthusiastic people."

"They aren't as bad once you get to know them."

Shina turned her head to the oh-so-hot voice and blushed. (By now, Michiko has finished with Kyo and is talking to Shigure.) Standing before her was the only person in the vicinity whose name she did not know. "Hello Cookies n' Cream."

"What the hell?" He turned his beautiful gray eye to look into my own eyes. He kind of looked irritated. "Why'd you call me that?" (A/N: Any other person, he would have turned black. She 's just to pretty for that.)

"Oh, I am sorry. It is because of your hair. It really is quite lovely. My favorite candy bar is Cookies n' Cream. (A/N: Do not own it.) It has chocolate cookie bits mixed with white chocolate. Also, it reminds me of myself: lots of white and a little black every now and then."

"You're a bit of an airhead, aren't you?"

I blushed. "I've been called worse." Suddenly his entire demeanor changed.

"WHO! WHO THOUGHT THEY HAD THE RIGHT TO MAKE FUN OF YOU!"

I moved forward and put my hands on his chest just I did before, only this time I allowed myself to step ever so slightly closer to him than before. "Calm down. Sisterly teasing that's all. Ko calls me a Goody Goody and I called her a Tart. Neither of us care. I don't care. I enjoy actually."

He changed back but, still looked upset. Suddenly he wrapped his arms around me and spoke in a low voice. "I'm sorry. I...for some reason, I just don't want anyone hurt."

"No one has hurt me. Besides if they did I could always drop them off a cliff."

He let me go, much to to my disappointment, and smiled. "I'm guessing that's the cookies talking."

I laughed and blushed. "You would right. OH! That reminds me. I still don't know your name."

"Hatsuharu. Haru. Cookies n' Cream seems to be you preference."

"How about just Cream until Cookie shows up again."

"Just so you know, you are the only one I'm going to let call me that."

"I am deeply honored. But now I need to ask you a question."

"What?"

"Do want to be free?"

He didn't say anything. He just kissed me. While I brought out the spirit from inside him and leaned back my head and said "Licentia."

Out came the Spirit of a the Cow. It nudged my hand with it's nose to the top of it's head wear lightly pet it. "Gratia."

"Thank you." Haru whispered in ear.

Meanwhile Michiko's POV

I kissed him. He tried to have his way with me. They never learn. I brought my fingers to his ear just as I was about to lean back and snap them.

"AAAAHHHH! CRAP!" He held his ear.

"Licentia."

The Dog came out of my mouth, bowed, said "Gratia." and blew away on a wind that never blew.

"WHY'D YOU DO THAT!"

"Isn't it obvious?"

"WHAT?"

"Ugh, nevermind." I turned to Kyo.

"I know what you gonna ask. The answer is Yes."

"Oh. So you are a virgin. I thought so."

"WHAT! NO!"

"Oh. So you aren't a virgin."

"NO! That's not what I meant--"

"You're a virgin then? Well, you know," I put my hands on the armrests again and moved in really close. "I can fix that."

He blushed really hard. "Th-that's n-not wh-what I-I-I me-meant. I meant that I really what to be free."

I touched our noses together. "Is that the only thing you want or do you just wanna kiss me?"

"I know. You don't show it, but you really are very shy." I leaned in to kiss him. He had really soft lips. As I cupped his face, I felt the heat on checks. I wrapped my arms around his neck and ran my fingers through his silky hair. It was short lived, though. I felt something gently claw at my checks. I leaned back and as Kyo nuzzled my neck a little I whispered the words for the last time that night. "Licentia."

The Spirit of the Cat came out of my mouth and immediately jumped into my arms and rubbed against my chin. "Gratia." It blew away.

"Now," I said seductively. "Where were we?"

Kyo brought my face back to his a closed the distance between us.

AN: There. Finished. There are four great ways for a romantic relationship to start. One is immediate. I thought that would suit Michiko. She doesn't waste time. She's bold, forward and impatient. Any attempt to stall the relationship between her and Kyo would have been insulting to her character.

I won't update until I get a new reviewer.

Until then, read this story over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over, until you recite without looking.
