Hello, I'm Ash. I forgot to say that this was going to be more than a oneshot, so you probably assumed it was just another lame take on Kisshu's death. But; this may continue for a while or only one chapter, but it really depends on how many reviews I get. Reviews received: 0
That makes me sad.
When his lips nearly brushed my cheeks panic attacked. I had frantic flashbacks to the one day when he had popped up and given me a kiss. The shock had numbed my common sense. I couldn't feel anything but horror and a slight feeling of fulfillment. After I had gotten home I had stared at the wall for a few hours until Pudding snapped me out of it with a super-hyper phone call describing an incident with Taruto who had smiled at her. Or it might have been a really odd bush. Pudding wasn't sure. A few days ago she had been babbling on about Taruto again.
"Do you think he'll ever kiss me na no da? Like Kisshu kissed you, even though you didn't like it, na no da?"
"No, I didn't like it at all, and he'll never kiss you!" I snapped, not thinking. The lies were like thorns on my tongue. Puddings eyes had watered and she ran off to the restroom, saying
"You are too cruel, oneechan!"
Regret had stabbed through me like an unsavory heat.
Ah, she was so perfect. Her strawberry hair was just the right shade of red, her bumbling ditziness just as extreme for it to be terribly endearing but not so far as to make her look like a fool. She was so right. And the feeling of individuality in my affection for Ichigo faded away. Who wouldn't love her like I did? Who could resist her fast way of speaking when she was excited, how her eyes turned to adorable crescents when she fully smiled. My hatred for Masaya ebbed a fraction when I realized he probably sought after her just as much as I did, only Ichigo loved him too. Somehow, Ichigo. Somehow I'll make you mine. It will have to wait until the next life, certainly, and many more lifetimes for me to find her. But I will. And right now she was holding me, and through the tiny hole left in my vision I could see her ears standing on edge as she screamed.
"KISSHU!"
