Alright! I shwoves you all, my wonderful reviewers! Kay, here's the new chappie, so enjoy!
"Morning, Kish." sighing as she rubbed her eyes wearily and sat up in bed, Ichigo gazed down at her sleeping alien boy beside her.
"Hmm...Ichigo...mmm." shivering as she felt him nuzzle his nose into her stomach, all she could do was gently rub his head.
"Kish..." this was all she said before she slipped out from under the boy's hug and got dressed for the day.
"Ichigo? Where'd you go, Kitty?" jumping upon hearing his voice, she glanced over and sighed in relief when she found him, still fast asleep. Though, in her absance, he had begun to toss and turn some.
"I'm here, silly." giggling lightly as she walked away from the dresser and began to stroke his cheek, she found that it seemed to calm his sleep. "Now, just sleep peacefully and I'll have breakfast ready soon."
Turning towards the kitchen, she looked back once more before gently closing the door.
However, and totally unknown to the cat girl, once she had shut the door, Kish smirked and sat up, rubbing his cheek lightly. "Hmm, I wonder what would happen if I were to keep up this little act..."
grinning emensely now, he laid back on the large king sized bed and continued his little 'act'.
!!_!!_!!
"Kish, wake up sleepy head. It's time to eat." giggling lightly as she stepped through the threshhold of the room with a tray of breakfast, she watched Kish gently stir and slowly sit up, stretching out his tired muscles.
"Ohayo, Neko-Chan!" grinning at her as she approached the bed with the tray in hand, Kish caught a glimpse of what he would be eating for breakfast.
Delicious french toast, syrup, whipped cream, strawberries. A cool glass of milk, a freshly baked strawberry muffin. And, to top it all off, Ichigo herself.
"Wow, this looks so delicious." secretly gazing at Ichigo and not the food, he licked his lips and watched her sit down on the side of the bed with the tray.
"Kay, eat up." going to stand, she found that she was being held at the waist by Kish, who had no intention, what so ever, to let her go yet.
"Nope. In order to repay my kindness from yesterday, I think you should feed me." grinning madly as he watched her face go from fair to red and her features to go from cofused to nervous, Kish simply pulled her down and made her sit beside him on the large bed.
So, pulling her feet up, she had no choice but to simply sit there beside him, feeding him his breakfast. After all, how hard could it be? Shoving food down his throat and going to wash the dishes afterwards, it didn't really sound too difficult. *author's evil laugh.*
"Kay, I'm ready, kitty!" grinning up at her from his position laying on her lap. "Ahhh"
"Fine, open up, Kish." smiling as if she were feeding a child, she held up a fork full of fresh frenchtoast to his lips and watched as he ate it.
"These are the second delicious things in all the world!" he declared, still grinning up at her.
"Uh, they're just frenchtoast. Besides, what's your favorite thing to eat then?" truly puzzled as she stared down at him, Ichigo seemed deep in thought. Though, it didn't take Kish long at all to answer.
"You!" sitting up and crossing his legs on the bed, he reached over and pulled Ichigo onto his lap.
"EEP!" startled by the sudden pulling, Ichigo shot Kish a cold glare but soon warmed up to being held like that. "Fine, I can only guess where this'll lead with too much resistance." remembering what happened yesterday when Kish had fed her, Ichigo decided that it was best if she didn't struggle.
"Smart kitty!" patting her on her head, he nearly jumped when he began to feel Ichigo's emotions surge through him.
"What's wrong, Kish?" meeting Kish's eyes as he tried desperately to calm down, Ichigo began to snuggle into his bare chest.
'She can pretend she doesn't like me all she wants then, cause in the end I know she likes it.' grinning at this thought, he quickly snapped back to reality and grinned. "Oh, nothing's wrong, kitten."
"Are you sure? You seemed a bit jumpy a second ago." reaching over and picking up a strawberry, she held it to his lips and he ate it lovingly.
"Oh, don't worry. I just like it here so much. I don't want to leave this evening." sighing dejectedly, Kish wrapped his arms around Ichigo and accepted the muffin she held up for him to bight.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. I really did like being here with you." smiling, yet still unaware of what Kish knew through the surge of emotion, Ichigo sat up and kissed his cheek lightly before reaching over and lifting the glass of milk to his lips. "Here, drink up."
"YAY! Big brother and Ichigo-Chan are back, Gramps!" the first to run over to the couple as they stepped down from their ride home, Harmony jumped up and wrapped her tiny arms around Ichigo, who caught her effortlessly and returned the embrace.
"It's great to see you again, Harmony." smiling down at the girl, she gently set her down on her own two feet and walked over to Lettuce and Pudding, hugging them as well.
"Hey, Pai, Tart." acknowledging Kish briefly, the two grinned over at him.
"Aw, you and the cat girl look so happy together, Kish." taunting Kish as he sat with Pudding, Tart grinned and dodged a pebble that was tossed at him.
"Shut it, midget! Besides, you seem to have gotten used to hanging out with Pudding!" grinning back as he watched Tart's face grow red, Kish simply walked over and wrapped his arms around Ichigo. "Well, at least I'm open about loving my kitty!" nuzzling her cheek to his, Kish was lost in his own little lovy dovy world.
"Lettuce-Chan, watch this!" a laugh echoed throughout the foyer of the large castle and everyone looked over, just to watch as Pai picked Lettuce up bridal style and throw her into the air, only to catch her again and gently set the girl back onto her feet.
Giggle. "P-Pai-kun, that was fun." blushing wildly as the two shared a sweet kiss, unaware of the crowd that had gathered around them to watch the cute moment.
"Oh, Mr. I'M NEVER GOING TO FALL IN LOVE! What do we have here, hmm?" grinning widly as he interupted the kiss, Kish ducked, trying to dodge Pai's fist as he swing out and missed by a hair.
"Hah! You missed by a hair, Pai." laughing hysterically, Harmony had to hold her sides as she laughed at the whole event.
"Yeah, but I can garantee that it won't happen again." glaring back at Kish, who had, once again, wrapped his arms around Ichigo, Pai knew he got the message across wuite clearly.
"Fine, Pai. But you really do like her. So why hold it back from the world?" still holding his grin, Kish got ready to dodge something else, but it never came.
"Hmm, for once, Kish, you're right." and then, something remarkable happened...Pai truly smiled! *OMG!*
"CALL A PRIEST! GET THE EXORCIST! SOMETHING! This isn't Pai!" pointing straight at Pai, Harmony took off running when Pai began to chase her. Though, being his smart self, he knew that Harmony was long hidden and wouldn't be taunting him any time too soon.
"Alright, break it up, you two! All of you go up and wash before dinner. We're havin' a steak dinner!" taking off, into the castle, Gramps' voice echoed through the halls before fading away.
"C'mon, let's go get cleaned up before dinner." smiling gently, Ichigo led Kish by the wrist towards their room.
"Yeah, we p-probably should go wash up too, Pai-kun." blushing madly as she tugged on his wrist, Lettuce led him towards their own room to wash up.
"Let's go, Tar-Tar! We gotta get washed up and eat, na no da!" grabbing poor Tart by his wrist, Pudding didn't give him much of a choice but to be pulled along to their room and let Pudding attack him with the soap.
Kay! There's chapter fifteen for yah! Also, here's an interesting fact about Kish. I looked it up and...*GIGGLE* Kish means Jockey. It's a racing dog. "LAUGH!* Just thought I'd include that ffor all of you! God Bless!
