Translations: Onee-chan Older Sister
Taruto stared with his eyes widened, "You mean..."
Pai nodded, "If we don't get him away from the mew and Blue Knight then he will die..."
Ichigo stood in the café with her chin on the top of the broom thinking about Masaya. He was finally back... but... If only this contract wasn't about then everything would be perfect! There was now only two weeks left till she had to get married to Kisshu...
"Oi stop daydreaming and get to work!"
Ichigo suddenly felt something hit her head and broke out of her thoughts and looked on the floor to see a spoon, looking back up she saw Mint sat in a chair sipping some tea.
"What about you!?" she shouted.
"I'm supervising." she replied.
Ichigo stared.
"Ichigo, Mint... Ryou and Askaska want to see you. (Not sure is Askaska is his name... sorry...)
-X-
Ichigo sat still in a chair in the darkness, "Hey where are you all!" she shouted, she had only stepped into the room to find it dark and the door shut behind her. Someone in the dark had then forced her onto what she assumed a chair.
Suddenly a light was shone at her and she covered her eyes, when she took it away she saw everyone around her.
"Huh? What's going on?" she asked.
"Baka!" Mint commented.
Ichigo sat confused.
"Why didn't you tell us!?" Ryou said standing in front of her.
"About what?..." Ichigo murmured.
"The locket of course." Zakuro replied.
Ichigo suddenly realised and looked at her feet, "I... I don't know..."
"This is serious! You should have told us Kisshu intended for it to make you fall in love with him!" Ryou cried.
"Huh?" Ichigo asked looking up suddenly.
"Yes, if he's going this far then we have to be more careful..." Lettuce murmured.
Ichigo relaxed, "Oh you meant that! I thought you were on about how I had to marry Kisshu or else I would die and—" Ichigo stopped and realised what she had said, everyone stared at her.
"Eh!!"
-X-
"So you have to marry him in two weeks or else you both die..." Pudding said.
Ichigo nodded.
"Does Aoyama know?" Zakuro asked.
Ichigo shook her head slowly and felt guilty, "I know I should but... I just can't find myself to do it... I don't want to hurt him."
"Liar." Zakuro replied.
Ichigo looked up to her.
"Onee-chan?" Mint asked.
"You say you haven't told him because you don't want to hurt him but that's merely a cover up. The reason you haven't told is because you yourself are scared, you're doing this for yourself not him. If you really cared for him you would have told him by now."
The words sunk into Ichigo and she felt herself shaking.
"Zakuro don't say mean things!" Pudding cried.
"I'm merely telling the truth." Zakuro replied.
"You're right..." Ichigo added.
Everyone looked back at her.
Ichigo stood up, "I will tell him! I'll find him right now and tell him everything!" she cried, filled with confidence she turned and ran out of the room.
"What about work!?" Ryou called after her.
"Let it go." Pudding said.
Ryou sighed.
-X-
"I will tell him!" Ichigo said running through the park.
As she ran she suddenly heard a rustle and looked around to see nothing.
"Hello kitten."
Ichigo turned at the voice to see Kisshu stood in front of her.
"Kisshu!"
"Hello." he said smiling.
"Kisshu this isn't the time, I have to do something important." Ichigo explained.
Kisshu stared, "You're going to see him?"
Ichigo took a step back in surprise, did he mean Masaya and if so how had he found out he was back?
"I'm afraid you'll have to meet him some other time, we have some wedding things to sort out." he said suddenly teleporting away.
"Kisshu?!" she cried looking around.
"Hello again."
Ichigo froze as the voice became behind her and before she could turn an arm wrapped around her waist and in an instant she found herself on the alien's spaceship.
Ichigo noticed that the arm was still around her and pulled away and turned around to see Kisshu, "Baka! Take me back!" she cried.
"Can't do that I'm afraid." he said.
Ichigo stood hopelessly; she had to get to Masaya!
"Kisshu!"
Ichigo turned around to see two familiar faces.
"Hello Pai! Hello Taruto!" Kisshu called stepping forward so he was in front of Ichigo.
Pai and Taruto both stopped and Ichigo then noticed they both had a weird expression on their face, "Step away." Pai said.
"Eh?" Kisshu asked.
"Please come here Kisshu!" Taruto cried.
Kisshu stared at them and smiled, "I get it, a joke right?" he asked, suddenly teleporting away Ichigo didn't realise till he was behind her. She suddenly felt his arm around her shoulders and felt herself pulled into him. Looking up she saw Kisshu smiling.
"Kisshu I'm telling you now to step away!" Pai shouted.
"Eh? Pai this joke thing is getting kinda old now..." Kisshu replied.
"Have it your way then." Pai said.
Ichigo stared and suddenly felt fear strike her as both he and Taruto teleported, in a second she felt Kisshu pull away and at the same herself being dragged off to the side.
When she looked she saw Kisshu struggling with Pai holding both his arms behind him and looking behind she saw Taruto holding her arms behind her.
"What are you guys doing!" Kisshu growled.
"We're sorry... but it's the only way." Pai said, "I think it's time we told you the story of the alien who got out of the contract.
--
Before you say anything the reason Kisshu didn't teleport whilst in Pai's grasp was because if he did Pai would teleport aswell and he'd still be holding him... duh!
