Chapter 9- The Longer the Better
Hi!Long time no see! I don't know if it's really long, but if this trend continues then it might take a little longer. So sorry~! This is the last chapter of the starters and I can't wait to get out of this all male cast! I think the sequel will start with a female charater... ideas? I might get more followers with that... ideas...The main character is Ugly Kusi from chapter 7. I was influenced by the new cadenza comercial. When you see it you'll know what I'm talking about. Anyways let me present Blastois!
Will I ever find love? It's been so long... but this girl can't be it. This is wrong but she really wasn't my type. Gosh darn it! I better leave now!
"Kusi! Kusi are you there?" asks a beautiful girl as she walks out of the bathroom, drying her wet hair with Kusi's clothing on.
"I'm sorry," says Kusi with a charmingly apologetic smile. He was a dazzling man with bulging muscles, perfect boy, intense navy blue eyes and a perfectly shaved head. "I have to go."
"Already?" pouts the girl.
"Yeah, leave without me," says Kusi as he walks out of the room.
"Okay," says the girl, a little insecure. "Call me!"
"I doubt that," whispers Kusi after he closed the door. He then takes a deep breath and continues to walk down the hallway.
She was my third this month... Why can't I find love! All these girls come in with such naïve thoughts. Such idiots. Just like how I was when I was in high school. Those jerks! Making me look like an idiot. Why am I thinking about this! This is my past, I need to grow out of this. Take a deep breath Kusi, deep breaths. What you're doing doesn't have to be explained, don't be some little kid and have to explin every feeling you have. Be more mature.
"Kusi~!" squels one of the girls at his work. As she runs into the elevator with Kusi.
"Hey," says Kusi, forgetting her name for a second. "What's up?"
"Did you hear that someone was going to be co-editor in cheif with you?" asks the girl as she looks up at Kusi, which he assumes, was suppose to be cute eyes.
"Really?" asks Kusi. Go away. Go away. Go away! Older girls who try to be cute were disgusting to Kusi. They were 36 now, they shouldn't act like little girls... So annoying! Just go away.
"Guess who it is! Guess who it is!" says cooes the girl.
"Surprise me," says Kusi has he starts to get agitated with her.
"Kiki Jones from Cover City! Can you believe that she moved over to our little magezin?" asks the girl.
Kiki... Jones! It can't be that Kiki Jones. "You know," says Kusi as he tries not to think about it. "Our 100,052,000 readers would say different."
"We only got the ratings because of you," gushes the girl. The elevator chimes open on the last level and Kusi quickly gets out of it elevator and as far away from this crazy girl as fast as he can.
"Kusi! Kusi where are you going! Kusi! Come back~!" whines the girl.
"Sorry!" yells Kusi over his shoulder, not genuin with his words. "But I've gotta go to work!"
Kusi runs into a cute girl, pushing her to the ground.
"I.. I am so sorry," says Kusi as he looks down at the girl. She was a petit, cute girl with gray brown eyes and curly, short brown hair that is close to her face.
"No no," says the girl with an apologetic smile. "It was really my fault."
She turns her face towards Kusi and he instantly reconizes it. "Kiki..."
"Ah! Kusi!" says Kiki, replacing her apologetic smile into a brilliant one.
"Do you know these girl?" asks the human relations person as she looks between the two.
"We us to go to the same high school," says Kusi, unable to stop staring at her.
"Chemistry with Mr. Nicole," says Kiki as she remembers. "I almost didn't recognize you."
"How could you not remember someone like Kusi?" asks the human relations woman as she pushes her glasses up.
"Because my nickname from Middle school till graduation was Ugly Kusi," says Kusi with a fake smile.
"No way!" yells the Human relations woman. All the girls around were just as surprise, getting a chance to look at Kusi.
"Well now we get him all to ourselves," says a hot secritary as she just happens to walk by.
"You seem to be really popular here," says Kiki wtih a smile. "I'm so happy for you!"
"I'm sure you are," says Kusi with a fake smile on his face. "Now let's get to work... shall we? We need to get this issue planned yesterday, you ready to pull an all nighter?"
"I'm not a stranger to them if that's what you mean," says Kiki as she twists the hair surrounding her face and pulls in back, being held with a clip so it stays up.
"Then let's get on it," says Kusi with a big smile.
~-_- :D ^u^ ;_; ^.O~
"And this should possible be go here?" asks Kiki with a tilt of her head, completely confused.
"No! Let's put it here," says Kusi as he places it in another conor of the table.
"You really like this job... don't you?" asks Kiki as she looks up at him with her big eyes.
"What makes you say that?" asks Kusi as he examines another piece of paper, trying not to look at her.
"Nothing really," says Kiki as she shrugs and walks around and starts checking the lay-out on the other side. A piece of hair slips out and she blows on it irritated. Kusi watches as she continues to work and blow it out of her face. Kusi then rolls his eyes and reaches over to gently push her hair out of her face and over her ear.
"Thank you," says Kiki as a blush covers her face. She then takes the hair around her face, takes her clip out to of her hair, twisted her hair to clip it on top of her hair. "My hair was always difficult to deal with."
"I don't know," says Kusi with a shrug as he holds up a piece of paper to inspect. "I have always liked your hair."
"Please," laughs Kiki as she puts her hair in a high, messy ponytail and places her hands on her hips, looking down at the pictures for the front cover of the magazine. "Even these hair dressers would have trouble with my hair. Okay, we can't use these girls because they send the opposite message for our magazine. We need classy not trashy."
"Look," says Kusi as he sorts through which pictures to go through which article. "You can leave. There's a few minor details to go through and we'll be done."
"Really?" asks Kiki as she quickly looks up at Kusi. "You don't mind?"
"No, and the rest of the material is coming tomorrow anyways so we can't even finish today. I know you have somewhere to be so just go already."
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" cries Kiki happily as she grabs her coat off the rack and her scarf.
"Don't mention it," says Kusi with a smile. "I mean really, if they hear about this it'll be my head!"
"Hey," says Kiki as she turns around to look at Kusi before she leaves. "Why don't you tag along? There's a party with a few friends that you should come and meet. It'll be fun! I promise!"
"If you haven't realized it, I wasn't the most popular during high school," says Kusi with a laugh.
"They would love to see you~! Come on! Wouldn't it be nice to meet up with old friends?" asks Kiki as she finishes pulling Kusi into the elevator with his coat and hat on.
"Wait! But their not even my friends!" complains Kusi, starting to feel as if he wasn't being heard.
"It'll be so good to see everyone again~! Just like in High school!" squels Kiki as she jumps up and down in the elevator, hoping that it would go down faster if she did that.
"I wasn't your friend in high school!If anything I was your target," says Kusi, starting to get really mad.
"I promise that this isn't a hazing," says Kiki as she quickly shakes both of her hands, palms facing Kusi, as if to wipe away any evil thoughts. "I just thought it would be cool if we hung out together."
"How would that be cool?" asks Kusi.
"Well... I always wanted to invite you over... but..."
"It's uncool, right?"
"No... I knew you would refuse."
"What? Why would you think that?" asks Kusi as they walk out of the elevator and into the street. Kusi didn't know where they were heading but he hoped that Kiki did.
"Well... Because you did it to me in middle school."
"What are you talking about?"
"In middle school I sent you a note that said 'I like you veeeerrrrrryyyyy much! Do you like me? Circle Yes or No.' and I got it back with five circles around No and a BIG red X through Yes."
"I don't remember that."
"What! How could you not! I remember it..."
"You must have gotten me confused with a different Ugly Kusi."
"Impossible!" says Kiki as she shakes her head. "Ever since I gave you that note I was hyper aware of you!"
"What? Why would you pay attention to me?"
"Because you seemed so happy to me. I keep thinking, if only I could be with him... maybe I will be as happy as he is."
"So you weren't happy."
"Yes and no. Yes being that I put on a fake smile, and even felt happy at some points. No being that I tried to commite suicide."
"What?!"
"Yeah... but before I could do it... You stopped me."
"I don't..."
"Remember? I know, it's because I heard you say something," says Kiki, remembering back to that time. "I remember you were being bullied near the roof I was at. They were beating you up and calling you mean names and laughing at you and I remember that you said ' Laugh! Laugh all you want! Laugh while you can! Because sooner or later I would have the last laugh! Because I don't play pretend like you all do! I WILL NEVER PRETEND TO BE SOMEONE I'M NOT! So beat me up if you want! Tell me I'm worthless if you want! Try and make yourself feel better about yourself IF YOU WANT! But at the end of the day I'm proud I was ALIVE!'"
"You remember that?" laughs Kusi as he tilts his head, trying to remember if that ever happened.
"After I heard you say that I tried to make each and every day a day where I could puff out my chest and tell myself that I'm proud I'm alive and I started to get truly happier. I started liking myself more and helping those around me. Ever since that day I truly loved you. But because of the rejection..."
"That might have been me thinking your were playing a joke."
"That's fine... It doesn't matter anymore."
"And why not?"
"Because all my feelings for you have been wiped clean. But really... I just wish for you to be happy."
"What do you mean happy?"
"Well... it just that you don't seem very happy now, not like in High school."
"I was teased in high school! How the heck is that happy?"
"No matter how bad you were teased and bullied, you were always able to smile when you were by yourself or with people who really cared for you. I can't see that smile now...Ah!" says Kiki as she stands in front of a resteraunt. ""We're here! Come on Kusi! Let's go let's go! L-e-t-s g-o!"
"Wait!" yells Kusi as he runs in after her. "What are you doing! Kiki!"
"This is the place! Hurry hurry or we'll be late!" yells Kiki as she runs backwards, ushering Kusi through the doors.
"Kiki!" yells a group of people from a table in the resteraunt. "over here."
"This way Kusi!" says Kiki as she pulls him over to the table. "Hi guys! So you've all meet Kusi, right?"
"You mean Ugly Kusi from high school?" asks one of the men at the table. There were two men and two women, each pair looked married and happy. Why am I here? This is the worst! I don't want to talk to a bunch of married people...
"Ah! Kusi have you meet Kam?" asks Kiki as she shows Kusi the man across from them.
"How you doing?" asks Kam as he extends his hand out for Kusi to shake.
"Doing great man," says Kusi as he shakes it.
"Are you really Ugly Kusi?" asks one of the wives from across the table.
"You look totally different," says the other girl.
"Why? Cuz you can't make me the butt of your jokes? The subject of your dares?" asks Kusi with an angry tilt of his head.
"Sorry about that," laughs one of the guys. "We didn't really feel bad at the time, but after our own kids, we... well I realize that I was wrong to do that. Please forgive me."
"It's all in the past, right? I've forgotten about it really," laughs Kusi, not really meaning it.
"Actually I think I'm able to face you right now because of this girl right here," says one of the girls as she pulls Kiki closer to her.
"She would get sooo mad at us when we would make fun of you or make bets or dares about you. It got so bad that we had to make those bets behind your and her backs," explains the other girl.
"It got so annoying to go through so many loop holes that we got rid of those bets and dares all together, well except for all those special bets and dares that were very rare."
"Like me having to kiss him if I confessed first," says one girl to her husband.
"What!" yells Kiki as she jumps out of her seat so fast that the chair knocked over. "I never heard of this!"
"Neither did I," says Kusi as he leans back and tries to understand what was happening.
"Because it never went through," says the husband.
"It was no good," says the wife as she makes an X with her arms.
"And we're sorry about getting the other kids to make fun of you. We never meant for that," says the other girl as she pats Kusi's hand.
"My gosh!" says Kam as he looks around the table. "You guys were terrible in high school. All these stories end in bullying!"
"They were bad," laughs Kusi. "I was the target for bullying till college."
"That's horrible," says Kam as he looks at his wife. "Now what do you have to say for yourself?"
"I'm sooo sorry," says the wife as she puts her hands together as if she was praying, trying to get forgiveness.
"I told you guys, it's fine," laughs Kusi as he opens his menu. "Now... what's there to eat."
~-_- :D ^u^ ;_; ^.O~
"I had a great time tonight," says Kusi as he walks Kiki home after they ate with the friends.
"Stop it," says Kiki with a laugh as she slaps him on the back.
"Ow! I did!" laughs Kusi. "I swear! I think it's because I'm learning so much about you."
"I'm glad you came out tonight," says Kiki with a big smile. "It was really great to have you there."
"I wouldn't have been there because of you," says Kusi with a smile.
"So this is me," says Kiki as she stops in front of an apartment door and they both just stand there before Kusi laughs and looks to the side.
"Are you sure you still don't have feelings for me?" asks Kusi as he looks at her from the cornor of his eye.
"It was nice seeing you," says Kiki as she tries to change the subject. She waves him good-bye and he watches as she leave up the stairs with a gorgeous smirk on his face. Kiki turned back to look at him at something in her changed. She quickly ran up to him giving her a giant, great big kiss. Kusi grabs her face and kisses her back. It seemed like the world stopped and seemed to brighten around him. He never felt this before by anything like this before, even from all the other girls he's dated. He could have done this forever and ever, it was so intoxicating. Finally, Kiki pushed him away, stopping that moment and bringing him back to reality.
"So..." says Kiki with a big smile as she stops before the front door and looks back leaning on the door and looks up at him with her gorgeous gray eyes that held him captivated. "See you tomorrow. Oh... and by the way. It seems you got your smile back."
"Yeah," says Kusi as she closes the door and he walks away. He automatically thought, as if, I don't know if I'll ever see her again... "Crap! Tomorrow! I have to see her at work! Crap!"
Maybe it wouldn't be that bad if I ever did see her again, thinks Kusi as he walks down the street, getting more and more happy as he walks home. Something about Kiki just made him want to see her again and again, not caring about really anything else.
~-_- :D ^u^ ;_; ^.O~
"Hey Kusi," says Kiki in the morning at work.
"Hey Kiki, why are you here so early?" asks Kusi.
"I wanted to help out," says Kiki as she looks over his shoulder at the pictures on the table she picks one off the table and balls it to throw it away. "Oh and about last night."
"Yeah about that..." says Kusi with a hidden smirk, but before he could say what he really wanted, he was cut off by Kiki.
"You can forget about that!" says Kiki quickly.
"What do you mean?" asks Kusi quickly, in a panic.
"It was an accident and it really shouldn't have happened."
"Are you serious?"
"It's really for the best," says Kiki as she turns away from Kusi with a photo in her hand, looking at it in the sunlight.
"What if I don't want to?"
There was a pause as Kiki places the picture on the table and picks up another one to look at. Kusi gets up at takes the picture from her hands.
"Didn't you tell me that tell me that you wanted to see me happy?" asks Kusi as he takes her face in her hands. "What if this is the only way for me to be happy?"
He then pulls her face forward and kisses her on the mouth. Once again, the world stops and only two people existed. Each second pure passion, each touch sending chils up through his veins.
"I could do this forever," says Kusi as he places his forehead on hers and looks down into her gorgeous, amazing eyes. He then laughs at how dumb he has been for the past twenty years. "All my life I've been looking for love, trying to find that perfect girl... but what I didn't realize was that she someone I knew since middle school. I was looking for something that didn't exist. And now I have to forget you don't exist? Forget you and do what I continue to do with every girl I see? That isn't a life to live. You make me complete, and I don't want to lose you."
"So... is this...a proposal?" asks Kiki as she looks up at him with big eyes.
"I'm missing a few things aren't I?" laughs Kusi with a happy smile growing on his face.
"Oh..." says Kiki a little disappointed.
"But Kiki... can you marry me?"
"I thought you were missing a few things."
"I'm going to take that as a yes," laughs Kusi as he pulls her face in to kiss him on the lips. The first, perfecft kiss in a long, long happy life time of countless others.
I got this one done so fast! Aren't you proud of me! I'm tired, I smell bad, I'm watching Tron: Legacy for the fourth time (I have absolutely no idea why) and I wanted to call it quits more then once~! But I didn't and you all got a chapter the next day! I was thinking of adding three bonus chapters of the most favorite pokémon, so make you're bets! (You can either PM me or answer my poll on my profile). And I'll end with my thought for the day; I was reading this and I was thinking... this could be a really great drama or manga or something. It might be because I'm in love with dramas based off of comics, books, or mangas. I don't know why... it might because I'm really narcissistic or because I create pure gold... but I can see one of these stories in a top manga magezin or... well it couldn't be a drama because these are one-shots. I don't know... if you agree like the story, if you want to help... follow, all pior likes and follows to this story beforehand do not apply to the above preposal. I really need all the support I can get since next chapter is Caterpie (and also the tenth chapter! So I'm going to make it BIG not as big as the 100th chapter but BIG! So keep on reading~! :D) I don't know how I can make Caterpie sound exciting since it evolves at level 7 so I'm going to have to make them seven year olds... I hope this doesn't get pedophile like...
