Taking a nap for about 10 minutes, Heihachi awoke and sat up on his elbow rubbing at his eyes. He sat up at the edge of the bed sighing while rustling his wings. I sat up with him waving my tail around.
Jee, I've never seen Heihachi so sad before. I've never seen him cry either, he always looks so happy...
"I can't believe, how stupid I am Neko." he said to me. Well, guess he couldn't think up a name for me so I guess just calling me Cat will do, "I hurt her so badly, and I wasn't even aware of it." He picked me up and put me on his lap while stroking my fur again.
"It was just one kiss, one thing that Miu wanted most from me. I gave it to her, I promised her as compensation for her saving my life." Heihachi continued and scratched behind my ear, "I can't believe, even after all I've done I guess I was right. With traitors, you never know when they'll betray again..." I sighed and jumped up onto his shoulder rubbing my head against his.
"Meow." Well, I guess it was the only thing I could do. I couldn't really just do nothing. He looked so...sad...
"Heh heh, well, at least I've got you to keep me company." Heihachi chuckled petting my head.
The door suddenly snapped open and I tumbled off of Heihachi's shoulder, onto the bed, and onto the floor.
"Hey Hachi!" Miu sang popping her head inside. Hey Hachi? Must've been some kind of stupid joke of hers... Damn pun! "What're you doin' in here all alone?"
"I was just thinking about some things." Heihachi replied picking me up off the floor and petting my head, "You got startled... Didn't you?"
"What is that... THING doing in here?" Miu asked distastefully looking at me as if I were a piece of orange lint. I stuck my tongue out at her.
"I found Neko wandering around the hallways, tied up in an ugly sweater."
"Well, make sure to get rid of it as soon as we land near Baaj temple. It's gross from all the fur it sheds..." Miu said and sat down beside Heihachi, "Now that we're alone, what do you want to do?" She leaned towards him and went to plant a kiss on him again. I opened my mouth ready to bite whatever hand was closest to me until Heihachi pushed her back a bit.
"You've already had your kiss, I've payed my debt already." he said and stood up with me still in his arms, "I'm sorry, I need to be alone. Please leave." Now, as much as I'd expected to just watch Miu sigh and leave, that didn't really happen... Well, not the way I thought it would go anyways.
"Alone? Great, I'll stay with you." she said sitting herself back down onto the bed. I groaned, why won't she go away!
"Please... I need to think of how I can atone..."
"What's so special about her...?" Miu asked after a moment of silence, "That half demon is a monster! Do you know what she'll do one day to you all!"
"Kiako's not like that."
We all looked at the door to see Kakashi leaning against the frame.
"Uh! Kakashi-senpai..." Heihachi bent his head down a bit and I felt him grip me closer.
"Sorry, I couldn't help but overhear your conversation," Kakashi said lazily scratching at his hair.
"Then hurry and leave, we're discussing something private." Miu said.
"If you want it private, don't leave the door open then." Kakashi chuckled and walked in reaching over to pet me on the head, "Where'd the cat come from?"
"Wandered around in the hallways." Heihachi said, "You...Aren't going to tell anyone are you?" Kakashi rubbed his chin.
"Could I have a moment alone with the cat?" he asked.
"EH?" We all raised our eyebrows at him and Kakashi picked me up by my scruff. Walking outside of the room, he held me up face to face and smiled.
"Well, this certainly is a stange outcome, ne, Kiako-chan?" he said. I started to wave my paws around in the air.
Kakashi-sensei! I dunno what happened! HELP ME! I WAS STUCK IN AN UGLY SWEATER! ANIMAL CRUELTY WAS PUT UPON ME!
"Whoa whoa easy there, I don't speak cat." Kakashi said, "Listen, I overheard Heihachi talking to himself, or to you rather. Some things aren't as they seem. Perhaps, he's thinking some things differently. Keep an eye on him." he placed me on the floor giving me a light push. I glanced up at him and he smiled. I sighed and walked back into the room jumping onto the bed.
"Oh, there you are." Heihachi said and started to pet my head again.
"Arg, I can't wait to see that thing go..." Miu sniffed, "It reminds me of that... Girl..."
"Kiako?" Heihachi stared at me for a moment, "You're right. They have the same eyes." I curled into a ball and still felt him running his fingers through my fur. Actually, to be honest, it felt pretty good. Like, getting your back scratched or somethin' like that. Of course, that's just-
I hissed when I felt a rough tug on my scruff.
"I can't stand it anymore! I hate cats!" Miu cried picking me up. I thrashed around feeling my scruff choke me. JEEZ! Using my feet for leverage, I nipped at Miu's hand and with a scream she whipped me into the bed.
I have to give Cid credit, them beds are bouncy...
Yes, I bounced off the bed and ended up shooting into Heihachi. With a surprised yelp he fell off the bed with me clinging to his vest.
Man, he's as clumsy as I am... I shook my head to get the stars out of it and looked up ending up face to face with the mechanic. I felt his bottom lip touch my nose.
POOF!
I coughed waving my hand in front of my face to fan away the smoke.
What the- I have a hand now?
I looked around seeing I was back to my normal human... Er, humanoid form and was on top of Heihachi in an ackward position. I felt my face flush and Heihachi's face matched his hair.
"K-Kiako-chan?"
I didn't reply and quickly did Kawarami no jutsu on the nearby pillow and dashed out of the room.
Damn.. Damn...damn...
I'm such a stupid fool...
Running around the hallways, I managed to find my way back to the medical wing. Thank you trail of yarn! I snickered at the thought and felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Why were you wandering around?" Shalua asked. I almost jumped out of my clothes! Which I thankfully still had on.
"I kinda got tired of laying around..." I said and she smiled.
"I guess I understand. But for now, get to bed." she said pushing me back towards my cubicle. I sighed obeying and pulled the blankets over my head.
ʓʓʓ
Waking up a moment later, I rubbed my eyes and yawned. The sleep did some good, I felt my chakra and MP were almost full. Well, at leasy my ninjutsu is improving. I sniffed the air smelling something sweet and looked around and saw two vases beside the bed on a tray.
One vase had a red kind of flower in it and the other vase had a white flower and a yellow flower. I flipped the card attached to the vase over and felt a smile tug at my mouth.
"Sorry, couldn't find any other flowers..."
-- Heihachi
ps. When you have your answer, please meet me in the room with the colourful ceiling.
"Ah, the rose exchange that was to take place during Christmas in your world." Kakashi said sitting on the side of the bed, "I remember how intent you were in listening to it."
Yeah, I remember too... If someone gave a red rose to a person they really liked, then the other person could answer Yes with a white rose or No with a yellow rose.
"Arg, my neck hurts..." I muttered rubbing at it, "Stupid Miu..."
"Hm?"
"She threw me into the bouncy beds..." Kakashi seemed to get a look of understanding and pat my shoulder.
"So, do you have an answer ready for him?" he smiled, "Go on." I tapped my chin for a moment and sighed.
"I have my answer." I replied and grabbed one of the flowers, "Mind covering for me while I'm gone? Shalua doesn't like me out of bed..." Kakashi put his hands together into a seal and in an instant transformed into me.
"Your secret it safe with me." he, er, she said and climbed into the bed, "I've been wanting a nap anyways..."
I checked around the corner and noticing no one around, bounded off down the hallway. Now... If only I can remember where that room is...
(Half an hour later...)
Arg! Stupid ship with it's stupid rooms and it's stupid identical walls! I stopped to lean against the wall to take a break. Man, if only I had some kind of landmark...
"Huah... Oooh..." I looked to the side seeing Yuffie doubled over trying to prevent herself from vomiting. Funny, she was fine when she was shoving sweaters over my head...
"Hey Yuffie, do you know where that room with the cool ceiling is?" I asked trying to keep my distance. She weakly pointed down the hall behind her, "Thanks! Ya know, you should take some Gravol pills, those work." I suggested while walking away.
I sighed taking the time to calm my heart rate. Ok, I'll just go in, give my answer, and leave. Done and done.
Hitting the OPEN key, I walkde in to see the ceiling was an immitation of outter space. Heh heh, Cid never got tired of it huh...?
Seeing Heihachi sitting in the corner, hiding under his wings, I gave them a light poke.
In a flash Heihachi had managed to flap himself up to the ceiling as if scared that I'd throw something at him. After seeing it was only me, he settlling himself down and rubbed behind his head nervously.
"Well, um..." he fumbled with his words and I sighed.
"Ya know, you really did hurt me back there." I said gingerly looking to the side, "Even if you do still 'Love me' this'll take a bit of time to get over."
"...I know..." There was a long silence and I took a seat on one of the chairs and stared up at the ceiling. It had changed to a night scene that looked somewhat like Macalania forest.
"Brings back memories don't it?" I said. Heihachi chuckled.
"Yes, it does." he replied and sat beside me, "Listen, I understand if you don't want to forgive me, I'm not even asking you to. Just that... I... Well..." His hair hung in front of his eyes shadowing it. Remembering the flower I had, I used it to poke and tickle his ear.When I got no reaction, I shook my head, stood up and tried to poke the flower up his nose. He ended up laughing and stopped when he saw the flower.
"Well, that's my answer." I replied handing him the flower. He slowly took it and looked me with those brown eyes of his.
"I'm...sorry..." he murmured and fell to his knees, "I'm so sorry..."
ʓʓʓ
I sighed and looked up at the passing clouds. Apparently the Shera also had some kind of skybox or something that gave a clear view of the whole sky. I smiled leaning back.
"Sure is prettyful," I said and looked over my shoulder, "Ne, Hei-san?"
"Yeah." he smiled resting his chin on my head and his arms lightly hugged my shoulders from behind. The sun peeked over a few clouds as night began to settle in over the skies. Hei-san and I were both leaning against the far wall beside the door and watched the clouds fly past.
"Hey," I said softly, "Sorry... For yelling at you back there."
"Why're you sorry?" Hei-san asked and used his hand to tilt my chin up to look at him, "Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever kissed you."
I scratched me cheek, "There was the time I was a cat..."
Heihachi chuckled, "I know I know, but this time..." he stood up and pulled me up with him, "I want to do it right." He wrapped his arms around me pulling me close and his wings rustled nervously. He touched his forhead to mine and leaned in towards me.
I closed my eyes, hearing my heart beating loud in my ears and faster. Faster... Faster... I... Was...
"Meow." I blinked noticing that everything had gotten bigger again.
ARG DAMMIT! I got all excited and nervous, I turned into a cat again! NYAAAAGGGH!
Heihachi smiled trying to muffle his laughter, "So, you turned into Neko again."
"Mreoww..." I groaned just hanging limply in his hands. He gave me a light kiss on the head and in another puff of smoke I was back to normal again, 5'4 and a half and all.
"Heh heh, kawaii Kiako-chan." he laughed and leaned in again, "You aren't going to freak out this time are you?" I shook my head feeling my face heat up. Hei-san smiled and gave me a light kiss on my forehead. Then he kissed me on my nose and cheek. He leaned in again and I closed my eyes again smiling.
"Hei-san..."
"JUST DO IT ALREADY GOD DAMMIT!" a voice shouted beside us. Heihachi and I both jumped back startled. It looked like a different model of the robot from Rachet and Clank, it almost looked like a backpack! "Just hurry up and get it over with! JEEZ!"
"Dammit! I swear I'll dismantle you !" Kel shouted kicking the robot across the room, "Sorry about that guys, carry on!"
"So, you were all... Watching...?" I asked slowly seeing Kariudo, Zero, Ian, Hakkai, Chichiri, Gorobei, Shichiroji and Cid watching from the corner. Poor Heihachi looked horrified.
"Damn straight, now hurry up and kiss her so we can get back to work!" Cid shouted. Heihachi and I kinda glanced at eachother and after fumbling around a bit, I managed to rest my hands on Hei-san's shoulders and he lightly set his hands on my waist.
He gently pressed his lips against mine and there was loud audible, "AWWWWWWW!"
"Kiku shut up! You're totally ruining the moment!"
"So are you Spikey head!"
"What was the you bucket of bolts?"
"Both of you shut the F--- up!"
"Yo Hei-man! Move that wing I can't see!"
I smiled against Hei-san's lips. As soon as our lips touched, I felt like... Everything I was so worried about before was gone and lifted, all the pain, the stabbing and the sadness. Gone. My heart was beating so fast I thought it'd blow out of my chest or something.
When we pulled apart, Heihachi's face was a deep crimson and he gave me a small peck on the cheek.
"Aishitageru." he said and smiled. I smiled back.
"Aishitageru." Heihachi paused for a second and he looked to Cid.
"Ne, Cid-san... If you're here now, then... Who's piloting the-"
The ship lurched to the side and we all tumbled into a giant mess on the side of the skybox.
"S.O.B!" Cid swore.
"At least he's making an effort to tone down his swearing." Kariudo shrugged.
"Mmmfph..."
"Eh?"
"MMFPH!" I looked down and poor Shichiroji's face was squished into the glass along with Ian and Zero. The shipt shifted again and we all crashed into the other side of the room.
"Hey! Here's a thought, how about we get up, and start to walk towards the door huh?" the robot said, his optics flashing at us, "That'd be smart ya know."
"Get that thing away from me, before I shove my spear SO far up his ass he'll-" Cid started and the room shifted again, "Oh whatever!" he jumped up and dashed through the door with a few of the others following him.
Heihachi and I looked at each other and smiled, then ran out of the room with the others.
ʓʓʓ
"HO HO YO HO! MON LE PIRATE... Eh... YO HO... WHEE!" Cliff was singing loudly while leaning on the steering wheel of the Shera and swinging around a bottle of... Something alchoholic...
"Hey! I told you not to drink my booze while ya drive!" Cid shouted running up the steps to where Cliff was still singing and trying to drink at the same time, "Quit slobbering all over the controls!" Cid pushed Cliff to the side and Cliff leaned off the wheel and spun down with it getting hit by one of the handles.
"WHOOEEE!" he fell down the stairs and onto the floor rolling in circles. The rest of the Shera crew in the bridge flopped down onto the floor and joined him.
"You're kidding me, he got them ALL drunk?" Kel said slamming his forehead.
"YO HO!"
"Apparently..." I replied watching Cliff ballet dancing with on of the WRO members.
"Ya bastards better get sober! Or I'll kick your ass all the way to that damn Wall market!" Cid threatened and pushed a few buttons. The Shera stabalized and we all breathed a sigh of relief. Well, at least we weren't going to crash and die.
"BAD EGGS... PIRATE LIFE FOR YARRGG!" Cliff sang still running about.
"Chichiri, if you please..." Zero said. Chichiri nodded and when he caught up to Cliff, poked his fingers at a point in his neck. The Klausian stopped his singing and fell straight to sleep.
"GAAAH! MINA-SAN! HELP ME! HE'S CRUSHING ME NO NA DA!" Chichiri screamed trying to push Cliff's heavy body off. Cid jumped back down to the floor.
"Well, we're a bit delayed but we'll still make it to Baaj. Just an hour behind schedule." he said to me and grinned, "No worries, we'll get ya to your temple. Well, at least I will."
I gave my thanks and left the bridge with Heihachi beside me.
"So, what do you want to do?" he asked me. I took his hand.
"Well, we could..." I stopped, "OH NO!"
"Oh no what?"
"I forgot Kakashi-sensei in the medical wing! He's still pretending to be me!" I cried and took off down the hallway, "We gotta go save him!"
Authors notes: Nyaaaah... Mushiness... XD Well, at least this is all outta the way. Now I cant get to work on my other fics. The G.I. Joe one seems to be the most popular.
Oh right, guess what? I'll be turning 15 (Finally!) on October 8th! Horray! XD Thanks for reading everyone!
