Sidekick: aaargh… fine
Truth hurts
It was the night of the annual ball and everyone who was anyone was there, drinking and celebrating the yearly occasion. Even a few certain aliens were there in tuxedos as they pouted at the idea of having to walk everywhere. "honestly Pai, if I had wanted to walk I'd become a human" kish grumbled but all of his nagging died on his tongue when he saw his green haired beauty in her stunning dress. "wow" was all that he could say as he extended his arm to take her own and escorted her inside. Soon after, Purin and Zakuro found their partners and mint was chatting to other wealthy families with keiichiro at her side. Ryou was sitting boredly at a table as he sighed for what seemed the hundredth time that night. The only person who wasn't here was Ichigo. "she's late" a woman whispered in his ear and Ryou turned around hopefully. He gasped when he saw a woman wit deep brown eyes and curled red hair, she was wearing the dress he had designed and little make-up. Instantly he knew who it was. "Ichigo?!" he gasped, standing to take in her radiance. She spun slightly, keeping her eyes on the shocked Ryou. "is it ok?" she asked and laughed lightly when he began to nod dumbly. In seconds the music flooded through his ears and he reached out for Ichigo's hand. "dance?" he asked to which she agreed.
Ichigo felt a shiver course through her body when he placed his hand on her hip and they soon fell into the rhythm of the music. "so Ryou. Are you ok?" Ichigo began, her concern showing slightly. He nodded in response but she saw through his deceit. "don't lie to me Ryou"
"are we playing a guessing game now?" he retorted
"no I'm just worried"
"you never seemed to be before with your precious masaya"
"hey-"
"you know it's true, why would you want to care about how I feel now?" Ichigo was on the verge of tears, not only had that jerk brought up a touchy subject but he was rubbing it in her face. "you know what, fine. I won't care you big jerk! I- ooh I loathe you greatly you pompous ass" Ichigo yelled, slapping him and storming outside towards the balcony. It wasn't hard enough to cause bruising but enough to feel the sting, "oh kami, what have I done?" he groaned as he walked up towards his room.
The whole gang noticed what had taken place and knew that this was not how it should end. "kish, go talk to her" mint ordered, shocking the alien. "what? Why me? Why not Pai or… or you?" he screeched. Zakuro piped in "because you seem to be close and you're a guy so you can relate to Ryou. Now GO" she growled as kish nodded and huffed off. "but if something goes wrong I blame you all."
Ichigo was leaning against the cool railing as her eyebrows stayed knitted together and she thought hard. "Careful Ichigo, if the wind faces, your stay will change like that" kish tried to remember the line but human phrases seemed a blur to him. It did get a laugh out of Ichigo though, "don't even try kish" she started, her smile growing. It left her features when she lifted her head to look at the stars. "you know kish, I told him that one night I matched each of these stars with a reason why I loved him. But in the end I realised that I had run out of stars." She said, confusing the alien.
"Ryou?"
"no masaya"
"oh" he mouthed as she continued
"and the very next day he told me that we weren't working and he was moving to England. That night I looked up to the stars again and tried to match each with a reason why I hated him. I had one reason, yet I ran out of stars again when I matched each one with a reason why I wanted to be back in his arms." Kish continued to listen as she poured her heart out to him and no one else. "I never told anyone that masaya left me, I just said that he would come back for me. But then Ryou began to tick me off and I wanted to show him and the others just how hard I worked. The mews I think figured it out but Ryou seemed to distance himself." Ichigo sighed deeply, "go on" kish urged as he drew himself closer
"I fell for him kish, I said that I wouldn't but I did and I feel so stupid in thinking that he could care about me" kish smiled at her words. "the funny thing Ichigo, is that that's exactly how I felt about you. I loved you and I knew it was wrong, and when you said no I always felt like a fool. But I kept going, and now I have a new life with Retasu." He explained. Ichigo looked at him, thinking about his words. She smiled when she began to form an idea, she hugged kish as a thank you and ran inside towards the stage, she knew what to do.
Ryou was sulking in his room when he heard the music stop and an angelic voice echoing through the café. "good evening everybody, I know it's rather brash however I have a small announcement to those who will understand… goodbye" the speech must've ended because there was a lot of murmuring and a few gasps. Keiichiro raced up to Ryou's room, opening the door and yelling two words. "Ichigo's left"
"what the hell did you do baka?" mint growled as she hit kish repeatedly. "I didn't do anything, I only said that I loved Ichigo and I was peeved when she said she didn't love me. Then I said that I kept trying and now I have… a… new… life. oh no, she took my words the wrong way!!" kish was now feeling guilty as Retasu reassured him. Ryou was there seconds later fretting "where's Ichigo?" he asked thought all but kish seemed to be upset.
"sorry but we haven't seen your 'ultimate weapon' since she had enough and left" mint scoffed. Ryou was in major stress mode by now. "she can't leave" he growled as he ran out of the café towards her favorite destinations.
