Forty agonizing minutes passed, but to Stitch and Lilo, it seemed like forty years. Lilo lay sprawled out on the bed with Stitch curled beside her. Kira slept soundly in the container, careless to Angel's state. Reuben was pacing holes in the floor in front of the bed Lilo and Stitch rested on. He had been visiting Gantu for a little while then came back only to discover Angel was unconscious. He had struggled against Stitch's vice like grip to strangle Kira for what she did, but he calmed down and instead started pacing while Jumba operated on his beautiful girl.
Finally, Jumba entered the room. Everyone, besides Kira that is, perked up. Reuben felt his heart pounding with worry as he prayed in his mind. Lilo was shaking from head to toe while maintaining control not to race in the room where Angel laid unconscious. Stitch fought down every urge to beat Kira into a pulp for what she did to his first love. He still could not believe how Kira could be a slightly nice experiment at first then just suddenly attacked Angel out of nowhere. It almost seemed as if she and Stitch was a couple, but Angel tore them apart and now wants revenge. Stitch almost gasped at that. What if it was true? What if something happened at the old lab that Jumba was not telling him?
"624 is conscious now." Jumba replied, making the three sigh in relief. "626, go see her. Jumba knows you worried about her the most."
"Actually Jumba, I'd say it's Reuben that worried most about her." Stitch bit back a chuckle as Reuben danced with glee that Angel was okay.
Reuben stopped dancing and looked at Jumba sheepishly. "Yeah, well, good to see she's okay."
"Would you like to be seeing her 625?" Jumba asked with a small smile.
"Yeah sure. I guess so." Reuben replied calmly before he hurriedly raced into the room where Stitch had pointed out to him before and immediately closed it.
Lilo laughed. "Since Angel's okay, I'm going to hide Kira in my room, so Nani doesn't freak out about another experiment."
She bent over and picked up the capsule that contained Kira. She walked out of the spaceship towards the house. All the while, she kept thinking about why this experiment was pleasant to Stitch, but a monster to her and Angel. She concluded that maybe she was defending herself. When she saw Angel enter the room, she thought she was an enemy. However, that couldn't be the case. Stitch had pried Kira off Angel, but Kira just pushed him out of the way and resumed attacking. It was like Kira and Angel were each other's worst enemies, but how could they know each other when this is the first time they've seen each other?
None of it was making any sense. Lilo knew Kira harmed Angel intently, but the question is, why? She looked down at the sleeping experiment with her thumb in her mouth. She was a pretty and cute experiment, so how could she be so assaulting? The house slowly came into Lilo's view as she ran up the stairs. She avoided Pleakley in the kitchen and rode the platform up to her dome. She grabbed a collar and a leash from the closet and gently took Kira out of the capsule, but the experiment awoke at her touch.
Kira growled aggressively as she raised a paw to slap the little girl. Lilo, learning from Stitch and Angel's small fights, pounced on Kira, keeping her paws flat on the floor. She straddled the squirming experiment and reached for the collar. She slipped it around her neck, grabbed the leash, clipped it on the doggy license and tied her on the rail. Kira tried to leap at her, but the leash pulled her back. Her nostrils flared, her eyes in deadly slits as she attempted to swipe at Lilo. The girl was unfazed however and just grabbed a spray bottle nearby. She sprayed Kira on the face, drenching the experiment.
She shook, brown fur flying. She turned to the Hawaiian girl and growled, showing her razor sharp teeth. "Get me out of here human!"
"Not until you tell me why you harmed Angel. She is a friend of Stitch's. A very good friend." Lilo explained.
Kira snorted. "That's why. She's Stitch's girlfriend isn't she?"
"Yes." Lilo drawled slowly.
"There's your reason." Kira replied as she turned her back and said no more.
Meanwhile, Reuben was at Angel's bedside, holding her hand. He listened through the whole story of what happened to her. She told him she just entered the living room and the aggressive experiment attacked her for no reason at all. She explained to him about the fight then how Kira just flung her to the wall. All the while, Reuben's grip on her hand tightened with pent up rage.
Suddenly, he felt a pair of lips on his cheek. With widened eyes, he looked at Angel who was smiling flirtatiously at him. Her eyes were half closed in a dreamy and seductive state. One ear flopped over her eye while the other stayed in the air slightly bent. She fluttered her eyelids at him, as if daring him to kiss her. Reuben stared at her with shock and excitement as she enticed him with her female wilds. With a grin, he leaned forward teasingly until she grasped the sides of his face with her hands and crushed his lips against hers.
The yellow experiment did nothing, but returned the kiss as passionately as she was. He felt his insides burn with hot desire as he climbed into the bed with her. Angel yelped with glee as Reuben brought her to his chest, holding her close. Her hands went through his sunny fur, loving the feel of his velvet fur between her claws.
When Angel intensified the kiss, Reuben pulled away. He licked his lips, savoring the flavor of her. He felt her arms around his waist as if pleading him not to go. He gazed back at her, seeing her radiant smile warmed his heart. He was tempted to just throw away all negative thoughts and make her his on this bed right now, but he knew he couldn't. Lilo and Stitch were his friends and he couldn't betray them via making Angel cheat on Stitch with him. It just didn't feel right. Besides, maybe she didn't love him as he did her. Perhaps she wanted passion that Stitch wasn't giving her. She didn't want him, she just wanted his passion.
"Angel, we need to stop this." Reuben replied as he slid off the bed. He was about to leave until Angel grasped his arm and pulled him back. "Angel, I'm serious. You can't-"
She cut him off once again by placing her lips on his. Reuben tried to pull away, but her extra arms extended and wrapped around him to keep him next to her. She pulled away after realizing Reuben wasn't returning the kiss. He attempted to speak, but she put a claw over his lips to hush him. "Reuben, Angel want to be with youga. Don't Reuben like meega?"
"Angel, I like you very much, but Stitch-"
"Stitch... naga loves me." Angel interrupted as she licked Reuben's cheek. "Meega nota he cares, but naga love."
"Of course he loves you." Reuben replied.
She shook her head. "Naga. Meega no care though. Angel... naga love Stitch no more."
"You don't?"
"Naga." Angel grinned then pulled him in for a loving, but quick kiss then whispered on his lips. "Angel love Reuben."
He grinned. "And Reuben love Angel."
She squealed with delight as she brought her lips to his in a slow passionate kiss.
While the two experiments kissed, Stitch was walking back to the house. He had tried to ask Jumba about why Kira would attack Angel, but he promised his creation that he would tell him soon. However, something inside Stitch told him not to expect his creator keeping that promise.
The first thing he did when he reached home was go up to the dome. When he reached Lilo's room, he saw her sleeping peacefully on the bed. He was about to wake her up until he remembered her cancer. He had almost forgotten his beloved friend was dying. Everything that happened after the day she confessed she was dying made him forget about that. He bent forward to kiss her temple before turning to the closet. He knew Lilo put Kira in there as she did with other experiments that she hid from Nani. (I don't know if Lilo and Stitch have a closet in their dome, but in this story, they do.)
He reached his paw to the knob of the closet door then turned it to open it. In front of him was a curled up Kira. Her golden eyes closed in sleep. She looked so cute to Stitch the way she slept. However, he didn't have that soft spot for her anymore. He grabbed the spray bottle and squirted her with it. Kira leapt at the contact of water then turned to glare at the convict. However, her dark eyes softened when she saw it was Stitch.
She rose on her four feet, walking towards him. Stitch's eyes bulged as her tail swayed side to side as if trying to mesmerize him. Her steps bounced seductively as she tried to reach him. He gulped and took a step closer. It seemed like he was in a trance. Never blinking, he closed the space between them. Kira stood on her two feet and wrapped her arms around Stitch's neck. At first Stitch just stood there, not knowing what to do. She edged closer, giving him no choice but to put his arms around her. She chanted in his ear while massaging the side of his face with her paw. Her words echoed through his mind, but then the door opened.
Lilo standing in the doorway drained the power Kira held over Stitch. Her eyebrows furrowed in puzzlement as she saw the two experiments' arms around each other.
"Stitch? Kira? What are you two doing?" Lilo asked.
Stitch, who was blank now, shook his head then turned to see Kira. He gasped as he struggled out of her arms. Kira took a step back while Stitch retreated behind Lilo. The little girl gave a warning glare at Kira just before shutting the door. She turned to stare at Stitch disapprovingly. Although, she didn't know why the sight of Kira and Stitch together gave her angry feelings. She thought it was because he was cheating on Angel, but then again, Angel was cheating on him too with Reuben. Then, when he looked at her with a regretful look in his eyes, Lilo could feel her heart melt under his gaze.
"Lilo, I honestly don't know what happened. I was in there just to ask her about why she hurt Angel, but then she entranced me. I don't know what happened I swear! I would never cheat on Angel. You know that." Stitch pleaded, though he didn't know why. Maybe he was afraid she would get the wrong impression and tell Angel that he was cheating on her. He wasn't sure why he was begging Lilo for forgiveness when it should be with Angel. He felt as if Lilo was mad at him and he wanted her not to be. Why though is the question. Why would he care if she were mad at him for cheating on his girlfriend when she should be a supportive friend? Why would he beg and plead at her to believe him? Importantly, why was he feeling despair when she stared at him with a considering look?
"Stitch, I believe you." Lilo instantly assured. "But I don't know what is wrong with Kira. I asked her why she attacked Angel and she told me because she is your girlfriend."
Stitch's jaw dropped. "How did she know?"
"I don't know." Lilo replied. "Maybe we should ask Jumba. When we showed him Kira, he had a surprised expression on his face. He must know her."
Lilo grasped Stitch's arm and tugged him down the elevator. Stitch followed her, trying to catch up. Finally, they were running side by side to the ship. Lilo hurriedly keyed the password and rushed inside with Stitch following hot on her heels. The duo started screaming for Jumba who could not stand their yelling and stepped into the room.
Stitch did not know what to say, so Lilo started. "Jumba, you must know something about Kira and why she attacked Angel, but is nice to Stitch."
Jumba nodded. "I do know something Little Girl." He said then finished it by saying, "Kira and 626 are betrothed."
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Lilo and Stitch or their characters. I only own the story, plot, and Kira who has finally appeared.
Note: In case you don't know what 'betrothed' means and you're too lazy to look it up in the dictionary (I'm not saying that to be mean, because I get lazy too.) it means like an engagement. Jumba meant Kira is Stitch's future wife and Stitch is Kira's future husband. You'll see why in the next chapter, which I will put up either tonight or tomorrow, depends if I get reviews telling me they want it.
