He Returns

Chapter 2: Is He One to Trust?

Boy I hear you, in my dreams

I feel you whisper, across the sea

I keep you with me in my heart

You make it easier when life gets hard

-Lucky by Jason Mraz ft Colbie Caillat

Ichigo was staying up late doing her homework. She couldn't focus enough, so she just gave up on it. She climbed into bed and just as she was about to turn off the lamp beside her bed, her heard a something. She stayed quiet and listened. She heard it again. The sound was pebbles being thrown against her window. Ichigo looked out and saw someone standing in the dark. She opened the window.

"Who's there?"

"Ichigo…it's me, Kisshu."

The girl gasped. "Kisshu, what are you doing here?"

The boy floated up to the second story window. "I wanted to talk to you. I'm sorry for what happened the other day. I just hope you can forgive me. And I hope you can also forgive me for what happened two years ago. You know I never wanted to hurt you but I had to. Will you please give me a second chance?"

"Kisshu, I'm sorry, but I can't. You terrorized me, my friends, and my planet for two whole years. After two years of not even seeing each other, I can't just give you another chance. Maybe if you can earn my trust… maybe, just maybe. I have to go now. I have school tomorrow. Good by Kisshu." She closed the window and climbed into bed and went into an uneasy dream. Kisshu teleported away, to somewhere unknown to anyone other than himself.

Put your faith in what you most believe in,

Two worlds one family.

Trust your heart, let faith decide

To guide these lives we see.

The next morning, she was walking to school alone. Today she was actually early! She left the house about forty-five minutes earlier so that she could take her time. She was walking through a neighborhood that she had never been through before. Ichigo saw someone at the end of the street and she went into her purse and put her pepper spray in her jacket pocket.

When she got to the end of the street, she realized who it was. Kisshu was waiting for Ichigo. When she saw him, he gave her a big smile like they had been friends for years. She looked down awkwardly at the ground.

"Hey." he said with a big smile.

"Hey. What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I wanted to walk you to school. I'm telling you I've changed."

"I'm not saying you haven't changed I- and you know that you can't walk me to school. People will see your ears!"

"Don't worry. I've got it covered. I brought a hoodie. So what happened to Aoyama? You normally couldn't go five minutes without thinking about him."

"Oh, it's nothing. About a year ago I found out that he was cheating on me with another girl. It's ok though, I'm over him."

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

"Yeah… Hey I got to go. This is my school."

"OK. By Ichigo."

"By Kisshu." she said. She walked away quickly.

I can't believe he walked with me to school. I can't believe I let him walk me to school. Maybe he has changed. No! He is the enemy. All he is trying to do is get inside my head.

She thought to herself like that for the rest of the day. On and off about Kisshu changing. She only talked when she had to.

When the bell sounded for the end of school, she walked slowly out. Just as she thought, Kisshu was there to walk her to the café.

"Hey. How was your day?" he asked.

"Fine. How was yours?"

"Boring. All I did was sit in the park and walked around."

"I think you should leave."

"What?" he asked surprised.

"I mean is that we're almost to the café and if anyone saw you, they would probably attack."

"Yeah you're probably right." he said disappointedly. "See you later."

"Yeah." Ichigo walked to the café quickly and changed into her uniform.

The rest of the day was normal. Kisshu didn't show up after work and he didn't show up at her window. Part of her wanted it to stay that way, and another part wanted him to come and walk her to school and to work.

The next morning, Ichigo went the same way she did yesterday and she saw a person at the end of the street. It was still dark out so she didn't get a clear view of the person. She assumed it was Kisshu.

She finally got to the end of the street and she found out the person waiting there, wasn't Kisshu.
