Chapter 2: Confusing Feelings
Her eyes weren't visible, covered by a long black cloak. They was a mysterious feel from her by just looking at her, maybe it was that the only thing visible outside of the cloak was her strikingly pale skin.
She smiled evilly, with perfect white teeth at sparkled under a dim light. She was looking at a screen, where a teenage girl with bright red hair and brown eyes walked down a street, not knowing the fact that she was being watched. "Well, Ichigo, it seems it's about time for my plan to take action…."
She took out a black cell phone and dialed a number. "Hello? Yes it's me…" She listened for a moment and smiled the evil smile again, she liked what she heard. "Yes, splendid." Then her eyes narrowed, staring at the screen. An alien had joined the girl, one she recognized.
"No, not yet. She's not alone…. We need to wait for the perfect moment. She has no idea what's coming. She laughed, and evil laugh which echoed around the spacious room.
Meanwhile
"Kish! What are you doing here?" Ichigo exclaimed, taken aback. She had just been heading home after a long day at the café, it was already dark.
"Oh what, I'm not allowed to visit you?" Kish said, raising an eyebrow. Ichigo blushed. "No, it's not that…I was just kind of surprised that's all." Kish laughed. "Well, you better get used it. I'm staying here on Earth for good this time." Ichigo nodded.
They walked all the way to Ichigo's house together, though they didn't say much as Ichigo was too nervous and couldn't stop stuttering. When they arrived at her door, Ichigo thrust it open and ran inside with a rushed "Bye!"
"Oh, hello, Ichigo so you're home," her mother commented. Her mother was pretty nice, she never really got that strict with Ichigo. "How was work?" Ichigo, trying to stop blushing stuttered, "Oh it was fine, I mean, you know, I worked, and stuff…"
Her mom smiled a sly smile. "You're blushing…something about a boy?" Ichigo shook her head and only started blushing more. "No, no way, what are you talking about, I don't know…" she talked gibberish all the way up the stairs.
Going into her room and sitting on the bed with a relieved sigh, Ichigo glanced at her cell phone. The screen showed her phonebook, and highlighted was "Aoyama."
She sighed. She hadn't got her memories back of him, but somehow she couldn't stop thinking about his parting words.
Flashback
"Ichigo…" Ichigo turned towards the voice, which turned out to be Aoyama's. His eyes were full of sadness, she didn't really know what to say. He shook his head
"It's ok.. How can I ever win over a girl who doesn't even remember me? Just remember this. I'll never forget you. And I know my number's in your cell. If you want, give me a call sometime. And with that he was gone.
End of Flashback
Every day since then Ichigo had kept looking at his name in her phonebook, wondering whether she should call him or not. But then again…
Flashback
"Ichigo? Are you ok?" It was Kish. Ichigo smiled. "Yeah, I'm fine." She turned towards Kish and took a deep breath. "Oh and Kish I just wanted to say…"she leaned over and kissed him lightly on the lips. "…thank you."
End of Flashback
She blushed just thinking about it. Had she really done that? Those two memories kept playing over and over in her head.
It was late know, and her eyes were beginning to droop. Laying her head down her last waking thought was: Can I really have feelings for two boys?
Morning
"Beep! Beep!" The noise was annoying, and Ichigo hit the snooze button for about the thirteenth time. When it went off again,she grouchily sat up and looked at the time. 7:50 am, how nice. Wait a minute, 7:50? She was going to be late for school (again)!
Hurrying into her school uniform she rushed downstairs. School had only just started up again, and the teachers were already threatening her with detention if she didn't start showing up earlier. "Bye mom, bye dad!" she yelled, running out the door.
Running at top speed, she made it through the classroom door just as the last warning bell went off.
"Ichigo! Hi!" Moe, one of Ichigo's friends greeted her. Ichigo waved as she sat exhausted into her chair. "Hi, Moe." Miwa, another friend of Ichigo's looked at the bags under her eyes and nodded in a knowing sort of way. "You were up late thinking about a boy, weren't you?"
Ichigo looked at her shoes in an embarrassed sort of way. "Uh, well, maybe…" Miwa looked proud of herself. "I knew it! Now come on, tell us…is it Aoyama? I bet you miss him, now that he's all the way in Europe…"
Ichigo looked out the window. "Well, kind of….But there's someone else too…." Moe gasped as Ichigo clamped her hand over her mouth. "I did not just say that!" Ichigo exclaimed, her eyes widening.
But it was too late. Miwa and Moe started firing questions at her so fast, she was begging to get confused whose voice was whose.
"Another boy? Oh, is he cute?" Moe asked, her eyes filled with wonder. "Uh, Well…" Ichigo stuttered. "Come on tell us, he most be cute." Miwa insisted. Then Moe broke in, "Does Aoyama know?" Miwa eyes widened. "Oh, if he doesn't know…" Ichigo shook her head. "Please, girls, stop!"
They stared at her for a moment and then she said, "Me and Aoyama…are…are…over." This news shocked the girls so much that Miwa accidentally knocked all her school books off her desk.
"Are you serious?" Moe pracitally yelled. Ichigo held a finger up to her mouth. "Shhh…Keep it down, Moe. I don't want anyone to know."
Moe nodded importantly and lowered her voice. "But seriously Ichigo, what happened? You guys were great together!" Ichigo sighed and looked out the window. "I guess you could say I just moved on…"
"Huh?" Miwa asked. But neither of the girls had a chance to ask anything else as class was starting. Ichigo continued to stare out the window as the memories played again. Had she really moved on?
