Here it is! Sorry I was so uninspired as of late. I have too many projects!
IMPORTANT! This chapter is dedicated to my loyal reviewer, Musa rox. Thank you for your support, Musa rox!
Zakuro was sitting behind cafe mew mew, watching a blade of grass struggle to grow. She sympathized with it.
Zakuro was still upset. In fact, she was livid. At herself, mostly. She had set herself up for this. She had made her bed, and now she had to lie in it. ICHIGO had even noticed, (A/N: no offence to Ichigo fans. I like her, but I hate Masaya, whom she is always daydreaming about.)
But the strongest emotion Zakuro was feeling was sadness. She was miserable. He didn't love her, and he couldn't learn to love her. Now she knew how Retasu felt about Ryou. (Come on people. He loves Ichigo to the point of suicide. No, he's not just gonna drop that and run to Ichigo.) Zakuro wished she didn't. But hey, the facts are the facts. And the fact was, Keiichiro was GAY.
Keiichiro smiled happily at his latest creation. It was a batch of beautiful double chocolate chunk cookies. He had seen Zakuro eye them with lust more than once. This was sure to win her love!
With a happy heart, Keiichiro picked up the cookies and placed them, one by one, on the cooling rack. Then, once that was completed, he sat by to watch them cool and to plan what he would say to Zakuro.
Just the thought of telling Zakuro he loved her made his palms go sweaty and his knees quake. But he knew he had to do it. Keiichiro Akasaka (In japan, that would be Akasaka Keiichiro.) was no coward. He was going to tell Zakuro how he'd always thought she was beautiful, and how he loved her, and how he thought she was the nicest girl he had ever met, and how he loved her smile, and how good purple looked on her... Or any color for that matter, and...
This was gonna be one heck of a confession. Keiichiro sighed.
Meanwhile, the girls were completely oblivious to anything except for the fact the Retasu had a picture of Pai in her pocket. It had fallen out, and once the girls had seen it, they'd had a shrieking match. The aliens recent attacks had been a joke, and both sides knew a truce would have to come soon.
all in all, it was as crazy as it could get. Which was pretty dang normal, for cafe mew mew.
Zakuro sat up as the door to the cafe behind her opened up. She turned around. "What?" Zakuro snapped angrily. She was not in the mood for visitors.
"Um, hey Zakuro," said Keiichiro. Zakuro's heart melted at the sound of his voice.
"Hey, Keiichiro," She had been going for normal, but her voice just came out as suspiciously casual. She cringed mentally, but kept her expression stoic and calm.
"I, Uh, baked some cookies," said Keiichiro slowly. "And uh, Iwaswonderingifyouwouldtrysome." Zakuro blinked. Well, a cookie couldn't kill her, right?
"Sure," Zakuro said, her voice wobbling slightly. She reached out and gingerly picked up a cookie. "I bet you made these for Ryou?" That last part just slipped out. Zakuro could have slapped herself.
"Uh, No. Why?" asked Keiichiro. His hands were shaking. "Actually, I baked them for you."
Zakuro almost dropped her cookie. "Wha-?" She was interrupted.
"Cause, I, Uh, you see, Um, I really like you and your the prettiest girl I ever met," Keiichiro blurted. He turned so red that tomatoes looked pink in comparison.
good thing Zakuro wasn't eating that cookie. She would have choked from shock.
Suddenly, She leaned forwards and kissed his cheek. "I like you too," she said. Keiichiro got a dreamy expression on his face. He'll probably never wash that cheek again.
then they both leaned forwards, and, like magic, their lips met. A love to last forever.
The girls nearly keeled over when they saw Zakuro and Keiichiro kissing. Actually, Ichigo did faint. Luckily, Ryou walked by at just the right moment. He caught ichigo in his arms and just stared at her.
"What's going on?" he asked. No one even bothered answering until Uurin spoke up cheerfully.
"Guess that answers the gay question."
