You heard a clapping from behind you. "Very nice. I'm almost impressed," an annoying yet familiar alien voice said from behind.
You smirked and turned around to face him, "Don't be. A few of them were you."
Kish shrugged with his own arrogant smirk. Boy did you want to slap that smirk off his alien face. His eyes met yours and something told you that the next few minutes would be anything but fun.
"Why are you here anyway? Cicadas clearly aren't your style," you said, genuinely curious.
He stood up but didn't make a move towards you, "I was out shopping."
Confusion was scribbled all across your face, "Shopping? You guys actually shop?"
"Please, don't try to hide your surprise," he sarcastically said. A gauge in your head that marked how much you wanted to slap him moved up a bit. "I was just looking for some sweets, but they didn't have the kind I like."
You scoffed, "Duh, your candy probably tastes like crap." You started to walk away and turned back into your human form. You thought he was gone and that conversation was over, but he suddenly appeared a few inches in front of your face.
Kish grabbed you chin and said in low, almost seductive voice, "I didn't say candy."
Before the idea to move back and slap him good crossed your mind, he placed his lips softly yet forcefully on yours. It was a short kiss, but time made it seem like forever. When he pulled away he was instantly in the air, smirking even wider if that's possible. You were too shocked to really do anything until he took your hat.
That snapped you back into reality and you shouted at him as he was flying out of your reach, "Give it back you bstard!" You tried jumping for it but he was up too high in the air. "You stole my first kiss and now my hat too! I'll kill you! I'll freak'n kill you you jackss!"
Kish looked down at you and grinned widely, "Sorry cutie, but until you fix your language I'm keeping the hat. Besides, you look better without it."
Your face flushed and he teleported away but you still had a few choice words to say. "Bloody hll! You did bnot/B just steal my hat and flirt at the same dmn time! I swear if you come back without my hat I'll slap the sht out of you!" Clearly he couldn't hear you anymore, but shouting did make you feel better.
Now, you were on top of the mall's roof, feeling very insecure without your hat, and still hungry. You didn't want it to come to this, but you started to walk home across the roof top thinking about what dish of left overs you had to make. Yes, it was going to be must-gos for dinner. Your parents were still away on business unfortunately.
Next Morning
You awoke to the blaring buzz of your alarm clock in your ear. Yeah, it was gonna be one of those mornings. Shower, brush, and get dressed. Overall it took no time at all. You were digging through the fridge, in your school uniform looking for something to eat for breakfast. Your bboy/b school uniform. The skirts never really made an appeal in your case. Anyway, by the time you were through the fridge completely, pop tarts looked pretty good.
With a strawberry pop tart hanging out of your mouth you practically skipped down the street, forgetting for a while that you don't have your hat. Today was the day for sure. Your horoscope said today was the day for love so you were going to ask out your crush after school. Nothing was going to ruin your attitude.
Walking through the school gates you saw a lot of girls staring at you with a kind of depressed look as always. You just shrugged it off and walked over to your shoe locker. You opened it and saw that there was note on top of your shoes. You took it out and read it with one hand as you changed your shoes with the other. It read:
Dear Niu-rou,
Hey, I was wondering if you and I can go for a movie Sunday or something on a date. I know people say that you don't like girls but please?
Love, Rei from class 1B
You furrowed your eyebrows together. Why were all the girls in this school as straight as circles? You glanced over your shoulder and caught the eye of a cute, shy looking girl. You sighed. You'd just turn her down later like the rest.
The rest of the day flew by and when the final bell rang you raced out the class and out to the track field. There Mitsuru Toshio had track and field. You saw him running around on the track field and caught his attention by waving at him. He slowed down and walked over to where you were standing.
You heart was beating furiously and you felt butterflies in your stomach. "Ah, Niu-kun. What can help you with," he asked with his golden smile flowing over his face.
"Um, w-well," you were stuttering. "Would you like to go out with me sometime?"
He smiled an understanding smile and said, "I'm sorry. But I don't like guys that way."
Instantly your heart crumbled. It felt like he just took your feelings, put them through a blender, and then served them back to you as a smoothie with a bendy straw. Yeah. It was that bad.
Quietly you sauntered off and away from the track field. Slowly you took your time to head over to Cafe Mew Mew. At least there someone could comfort you right?
Time Skip
"Bwha ha ha ha ha!" Ryou was laughing and holding his side while leaning on the table. You were laying on it, clearly sulking after telling your story about how you were rejected.
"It's not that funny," you muttered.
"You're right," he admitted calming down a bit. "It's better than that!" He started laughing again.
"Well, people do say that I tend to act like my dad sometimes," you mused.
"You have his body too," Ryou coughed out.
You glared at him and kicked him in the shin. Just when Ryou was about to yell at you for it though, Ichigo burst through the front door.
"Niu-rou," she started. "I just found that half of the girls at school like you because they think you're a guy. Is this true?"
If looks could kill, she'd be in a coma and Ryou would be down on the 9th level of hell. He went hysterical again clutching his sides from the pain. You swore at that point that infused himself with hyena DNA. After a minute or so, Ryou was finally able to get a hold over himself.
"So," he started sounding as serious as ever again trying to mask a few snickers. "I forgot to ask, what animal are you infused with?"
You garbled out the answer in reply and he didn't understand.
"What was that?"
This time you said it clearly but quietly, "Albino squirrel."
The silence was thick. Ryou was trying to show self-restraint by not laughing. He failed miserably and was laughing out loud all over again.
He finally fell onto the floor laughing his head off, "Hah ha ha! A squirrel! That's nuts!"
"Screw this," you declared, ignoring his pun too. "I'm outta here."
"Wait, Niu-chan," Ichigo said while trying to stop you. "What about work?"
"Niu-rou- hahaha," Ryou was still laughing trying to say something. "Doesn't have to- hehehehe," he was still laughing and trying to catch his breath. "I don't have a boy's uniform, bwahahaha."
His hysterics were really pissing you off. "Then where do you get your own clothes from?" Oh! Strike back!
His constant laughter stopped right away. You smirked to yourself and walked out of the cafe.
