Kiss, Kiss, fall in love!
Chapter Two
I stood shocked and confused, not to mention a bit unconfortable, what with him pressed up against me. A few minutes later I found my voice.
"What do you want with me?" I asked demandly, this time without stuttering.
He rolled his eyes in heavens direction, "To blackmail you. What else?" He said as if the most obvious thing in the world.
My mouth dropped. Blackmail me??
"Blackmail?" I asked.
Brick grinned wolfishly. When is he not grinning?
"Well, yea. I mean all I have to do is tell the other villians including the baka monkey, and they could easily crush your world. Your family, your friends, everything! Just like that." He snapped his fingers to prove his point.
"Y-you wouldn't!!" I stuttered in fear. Although I doubt he would hessitate.
"Oh, you know as well as I do, that I would." He smiled in pure satasfaction. Why that evil son of a-
"NO! You can't do that! Or I'll-I'll..." Before I could finish, Brick inturepted.
"You'll what? Get Blossom to fight me because you can't solve your own problems?" He finaly got off of me but still held my wrist in firm place much to my discomfort.
I bit my lip, knowing he was right. 'I can never fix anything on my own. Momoko can't do anything right... Now he's going to use my secret against my family.'
I could feel my bottom lip quivering, and my pink eyes misting. Great! Now I'm going to cry in front of my worst enemy! I lowered my head, so that my bangs hid my unshed tears.
He looked at me strangly probabally knowing I was about to break down, before releasing my wrist, and letting out a sigh. "Listen, I'm not going to blackmail you-" I looked up at him feeling somewhat relieved, "YET! Just remember that I know as well as my brothers. So you and the other Powderpuffs better watch what you say or do to us." My face dropped at that. 'What did he mean by that? Be nice to him??' I thought not noticing him turning away. His voice broke me from my pondering.
"By the way." He cocked his head to look me in the eyes. A smile made it's way onto his smug face. "Bring me some candy tommorow." He ordered. CANDY??
"NANI!? I barely have enough to buy me some because of you!" I sneered, my rage rising at his snickering.
"Well, I guess you won't be getting any." He flashed a toothy grin. "See ya Momo." He waved and left the field, leaving me to fume. I stood there for a few minutes glaring at the spot he was standing at. I could feel my right eye twitching.
"That...that..."
Twitch
Twitch
"THAT FREAKIN JERK!!!"

I dragged my feet slopishly against the concrete as I walked to the candystore, my face expressionless, I only kept mermering vows to murder brick with my own bare hands, making people eye me weirdly, and muttering crude things under their breathe.
Not like I cared, I was to caught up in fantasizing a certain red-eyed boy exploding.
Finally I made it to my destination and slammed the door open, a scowl still stiched on my face.
Suddenly all the thoughts of the ruff left from seeing the delicious sugary goods.
Smiling, I made my way over to a section of chocolates. I Grabbed a rather expensive chocolate bar filled with caramel. Before I put it on the counter I remembered that Brick asked- scratch that, more like demanded for some candy. I looked around for the cheapest thing possible, seeing a ten cent sucker, hey, he didn't tell me what kind! I hurridly reached for it and laid my things on the counter.
"4.99$." Mr. Hoshino said in cheerfully, after all I am his best costumer. Heh, no suprise there.
"Hai." I dug threw the back pocket of my skirt, pulling out Five dollors.
I dropped the money on the counter and grabbed my change, more like penny and exchanged goodbyes.
Stepping out of the store I watched as the sun was slowly making it's way down. Wait, sundown? I'm sapose to be home before sundown to babysit Kuriko... great.
Panic washed over my face and I started power walking to my house. I would've went to see the professer and tell him about the rowdyruffs but I had to be home.
Finaly seeing my house I ran up to the door and reached in my pockets for my keys but I didn't have them. 'I swore I put them in there before I left. Oh well.' I shrugged.
Lifting up the 'WELCOME' mat, I took out the spare key my father left for me and unlocked the door.
Once inside I kicked the door with my foot open and closed it. "KURIKO! I'm home!" I shouted.
Walking my way over to the living room, I saw Kuriko drawing something. I looked over her shoulder and noticed she was making a sloppy love card for Ken. It showed her and Ken kissing at the beach. Teehee, I can't wait to see his face when he sees this.
"Hey sis." She said boredly still coloring.
"Hey. Sooo... Are you gonna give that to Ken?" I asked, already knowing the answer.
Hey face brightened, "Of course. He is gonna love it!"
Heh, yeah right.
I walked over to the kitchen and ploped open the fridge. A delicious strawberry shortcake sat there with my name on it... seriously. Grabbing it, I took a chunk out of it.
Then the phone rang.
RING! RING! RING!
"Hello." I heard Kuriko answer, "Oh yeah. Yea. Hm. Okay. Hold on." She walked up to me and grabbed the cake out of my hand, replacing it with the phone.
"HEY! THAT"S MY CAKE!" I yelled, trying to grab it back but to no avail seeing as she ATE IT!
"why you... I'M GONNA CUT OPEN YOUR STOMACH AND GET IT BACK! YOU BRA-" I complained but got inturrupted by the person on the phone I forgot all about. 'Screw your damn cake!' I glared at the phone already knowing who's voice it is.
"Koaru shut up. Do you have any idea how much that co-"
'I don't care. We have more important things to worry about.' Hey voice contained nothing but seriousness. 'Like... did anything happen with you and the monster?'
"What monster? There's a monst-" She inturupted.
'NO YOU BAKA! Brick. Brick. What happened with you and him? Did the bastard tell you anything?!" She screamed so loud I was sure my eardrums would pop.
"Okay, okay. Sheesh... and well... he said somethings..." I mumbled. I wasn't sure if I should tell her or not.
'What things!?'
"Well... ano... what would you do if I told you... he..." I hesitated, although I could hear her breathing harder. You could just tell she was getting impatiant.
'HE WHAT?!'
"He knows!" I'm pretty sure she knew what I meant.
Silence passed for a minutes until Koaru broke it.
'So... he knows too? Damn...'
"What do you mean 'too'? Are you saying that Butch told you the same thing??"
'Well... yea. He said that he knew about Powerpuff girls z, and that I better start watching my act, in other words BE HIS SLAVE!' Heh, she didn't take it so well.
"I know Brick said the same thing. Hmm... all I know is that they could definitaly use it as blackmail... so maybe we should TRY to be...be..."
'THEIR SLAVES!?'
I supressed the urge to roll my eyes. Koaru can be so tough to handle sometimes...
"No. I mean just to be on the safe side... we should be nice to them and if they tell us to get something for them-" 'Like my CANDY!' I thought in annoyance, "-then we should try to... comply." I ground my teeth just thinking of all the things Brick's gonna make me do. That idiot.
'Oh my god...'
"Don't worry... we'll think of something later, oh I almost forgot did you talk to Miyaki??"
'I'm right here Momoko-chan.'
"Miyaki?"
'Yup. I'm here at Koaru's house.' I could feel the smile blooming on her face.
"Oh... well did Boomer say-" She inturupted. Why is everyone always doing that!?
'The samething? Yeah, he did.' She doesn't sound mad at all...
"Okay. Well I'll talk to you guys tommorow, I'm bushed." A yawn escaped my mouth, "Night."
'Good night Momoko-chan.'
'Yeah night Momoko.' I heard a click and turned off the phone.
Before truding my way to my room I shouted, "Night Kurriko." She looked at me weird.
"It's only-" She glanced at the clock, "6:47. Isn't that too early?"
"So? I'm tired, you wouldn't believe the day I had." I said tiredly.
"Well I don't care what kinda day you had. Geez and here I thought only old people sleep... no wonder you have gray hairs." She mumbled.
I shot a glare, "I do not have gray hairs! And I'm not old!" I looked at my hair then back at her, "By the way, you owe me a CAKE!" And with that I stomped to my room. Why is everyone taking my sweets today!?

I watched as my english teacher wrote translations on the board, while chewing on the end of my pen. 'Man, today's so boring...' I looked at the desk over and noticed the red ruff is obiviously absent or skipping, doesn't suprise me.
"And this would be how you say 'Dog' in Englis-" The door snapped open. Geez from all the door slamming I wonder why the hinges are still on.
"Oi, I was running kinda late..." NO! NO! NO! Why does Kami-sama hate me?!
Brick truded to his desk and flashed his famous cocky grin before taking a sit... right next to me.
"Okay. Well besides the sudden disruption, not saying any names..." He glanced at Brick, who in return shrugged, "We will be doing a new English project, and you will be paired up... with the person next to your right." He said simply and sat back down in his desk.
Right. Okay.
My face fell in anguish when I glanced over to the right. Just my luck.
Brick.
I glared at him hoping I could just smack the stupid smirk off his ugly face. Well his face isn't really ugly bu- wait! I'm going off subject.
"You planned this didn't you?" I whispered, he looked at me bored.
"Why in the seven layers of hell would I want to partner up with you?" He arched his brow, his mouth seething. The jerk.
"For my pain and misery, why else?" The glare never left my face.
His eyes rolled in mockory, "Why would I waste all my time on you? I have a life you know." His lips curled into a smirk while he looked ahead, "Some people are just so concieted."
Why that stupid, son of a-
RING!!!
I stood from my seat and grabbed my stuff hoping to hurry out of there. But I never got to, seeing how Brick is in my way!
He towered over me, well he is a couple inches taller... and to think he used to be the shorter one. Damn!
His arm stretched out with his hand shaped as a cup, expecting something.
"Gimme."
I gave him a dark glare, maybe aura would cloud around me making him scared. Heh, yeah right. I can't scare him so I might as well do the other option. "Give you what!?" I asked threw my clentched teeth.
"The candy." He tapped his foot impatiantly, and his hand still out.
Maybe I should play dumb.
"What candy?" I asked as innocent as I could get.
His eyes narrowed in annoyance, "I know you got it Momoko... or do you perfer Blossom?"
My eyes widen in relisation as his held a glint of humor. Great.
I mumbled a few curses at him, while digging for his stupid sucker. When I pulled it out he gave me a look that held amusment. "Here." I mermered grumpily.
"You can't be serious?" His brow arched, and his lips twitched in annoyance. Okay, so someone doesn't like suckers.
"Well I didn't know what kind you want. Not to mention that was the cheapest. Money doesn't grow on trees ya kno-" I stopped, seeing his gaze fixed somewhere else.
My eyebrow rose slightly and I followed his eyes that led to my pocket?
Looking down I saw what he was looking at and immediantly I panicked. Oh no. Not my chocolate!!
Brick grinned with satisfation and he reached down snatching my delicate bar, I was HOPING to save for lunch!
"Hey! That's my candy! You got this." Slamming the sucker in his chest and reaching for my poor chocolate, but again he held it higher then my reach. This is so familiar.
"No thanks Babe." Pealing the wrapper off, he took a bit out of it and licked the rest just in case. "You can have the lollipop though." He smirked and grabbed his notebooks.
No way.
"Sweety, you shouldn't leave your mouth open flies might fly in." He snickered and flicked my nose, "Don't forget about our project."
I just gaped at him, now the project.
He folded his arms with the candy still clutched in his hand, "My house or your house?" He asked in curiosity, although I could still hear his shrill amusment in the echos of his voice.
Silence
"My house? Okay." His fingers tugged randomly on my red ribbon and pulled it out making my orange tresses tumble down. He threw MY ribbon in his back jean pocket. Porbabaly so I couldn't get it without me touching his nice butt somehow.
Finally comprehending what he just did, an adorable blush found it's way on my bewhildered face, I was about to open my mouth and ask why he did that but he beat me to it.
Leaning down he whispered into my ear, sorta huskily, "You look cuter with your hair down." He fidled with a strand in my face and pushed it behind my ear.
Smiling at my face that resembled one of the strawberries on top of my cakes, he carresed my cheek in what felt like... affection. "Bye Momo." Turning around, he left to his next class.
I swear I could feel butterflies in the pit of my stomach, worse then the ones I get from Yamato-kun or any other boy for that matter. My fingers unconciously smoothed my still very warm cheek, the same cheek he touched... His fingers were so nice, I'm so used to him punching me instead of carassing.
But no way am I feeling anything for that jerk!
I have to remember the mean things he did. Like first stealing MY worms, threatning to take MY manga, taking MY chocolate. Also he's one of the biggest, most annoying villians
Super.
Now he has MY ribbon!
That jerk.
