Betraying My People Chapter 6:

Kisshu's Room

"Okay, you can go in, but don't laugh at me," Kisshu said.

Ichigo went into Kisshu's room- and her jaw dropped. ALL the walls were covered in drawings and photos of her. On Kisshu's night table, she saw a photo of her in Mew Form, in a pretty frame.

Kisshu noticed that she was speechless, and said, "Well, now you know what's in my room. Can we go do something else now?"

Ichigo found her voice and said, "You're pretty obsessed with me, aren't you?"

"I don't want to talk about it," Kisshu said. "It's bad enough that I had to show you."

Ichigo was a bit surprised, but said, "Kisshu, am I really just a toy to you?"

Kisshu looked away. "No," he said softly. "You never were. I just said that because I liked it when you got riled up. You're even cuter when you're angry."

To his surprise, Ichigo blushed. "You think I'm cute?" she asked.

"Yeah," Kisshu said. "Can we change the subject now? It's making me uncomfortable."

"What do you want to talk about?" Ichigo asked.

"What's for dinner?" Kisshu asked.

Ichigo started laughing. Kisshu looked confused and said, "What's so funny?"

"That was totally random," Ichigo said. "Besides, it's nowhere near dinnertime. It's only about two in the afternoon. We could have lunch, though."

"Okay," Kisshu said. "I'm hungry."

"Let's go find something to eat," Ichigo said. Kisshu followed her to the kitchen, and watched as she looked in the fridge. She found some cheese, and asked Kisshu, "Do you want grilled cheese?"

"Sure," Kisshu said.

Ichigo smiled, and started getting two grilled cheese sandwiches ready. When they were done, she handed one to Kisshu, and sat down with the other one. "Thanks," Kisshu said, and started eating. Five minutes later, he was finished with the sandwich, and eyeing Ichigo's. She noticed, and said, "Go have some fruit if you're still hungry. This is my sandwich."

Kisshu drooped. Then it looked like he had an idea. He teleported, and Ichigo sensed him behind her. "Nice try," she said. "I know you're behind me. Besides, there's like one bite of the sandwich left."

"Aww…" Kisshu said.

"Why don't you have some fruit, it's good for you," Ichigo said, pointing to the fruit bowl.

"Isn't grilled cheese good for me?" Kisshu asked.

"Not really, it's mainly fat," Ichigo said. "That's why it tastes so good."

Kisshu sighed and randomly picked out a banana from the fruit basket. He absent-mindedly peeled it, and ate it in about two bites. Then he looked at the peel, and his eyes widened. "Something wrong?" Ichigo asked.

"I just ate a banana," Kisshu said.

"Honestly, you didn't even know what you were eating?" Ichigo asked. "What's wrong with bananas?"

"I'm allergic to them," Kisshu said glumly.

Ichigo's eyes widened. "Do you have some kind of medicine for that?" she asked.

"No," Kisshu said, as he started to turn green. Then he teleported out. Ichigo had just decided to go check on him when Pai walked in. "Is Kisshu okay?" he asked.

"He ate a banana without realizing it, and he says he's allergic to them," Ichigo said. "Then he teleported out."

"I'll go check on him," Pai said.

"I'll go too," Ichigo said. She followed Pai to the bathroom, and saw that the door was closed.

Pai knocked, but didn't get a response. "Kisshu?" he called. Still no response. Pai sighed and hesitantly opened the door. Kisshu was lying on the floor, unconscious. Pai immediately went to him and put a hand on his forehead. "He's got a pretty bad fever," Pai informed Ichigo. "I'll take him back to his room, will you keep an eye on him?"

"Sure," Ichigo said. "Should I get a bucket in case he gets sick again?"

"Good idea," Pai said. "There's one under the kitchen sink." He picked up Kisshu, and teleported out as Ichigo went to the kitchen and grabbed the bucket. She went back to Kisshu's room, and saw that Pai had put him to bed. Ichigo put the bucket next to Kisshu's bed, and pulled up a chair on the other side of the bed. Then she sat down to wait.

About two hours later, Kisshu woke up. Ichigo noticed and said, "How are you feeling?"

"Awful," Kisshu said.

"I put a bucket next to your bed," Ichigo said. "That way you won't have to teleport or run to the bathroom if you feel sick."

"Thanks," Kisshu said. "Is the bucket on the other side of the bed?"

"Yeah," Ichigo said. Kisshu turned over and dragged the bucket closer, just before he threw up again. Ichigo started rubbing his back, trying to make him feel better.

Finally he finished, and turned back to her. "Why did you have bananas in the kitchen if you're this allergic?" Ichigo asked him.

"I forgot to throw them out after the last time," Kisshu said. "I guess I should do that."

"I'll have Pai do it," Ichigo said. "You shouldn't be getting up right now. Pai said you have a bad fever."

"That would explain why I feel awful," Kisshu said glumly. "My stomach still hasn't settled down yet, either."

"Do you think you have stomach medicine? That might help," Ichigo said.

"I think so," Kisshu said. "You should ask Pai, he'd know."

"I'll go do that," Ichigo said. "Try to get some rest." She left to look for Pai.

She finally found him in the kitchen, but was distracted by the fact that whatever was on the stove was burning. "Pai, weren't you banned from the kitchen?" she asked. "What are you burning, anyways?"

"I was trying to make soup," Pai said. "It's not working out too well."

"Take it off the stove, and turn the stove off, or you'll set off the smoke alarm," Ichigo said. "And then you can tell me where to find stomach medicine for Kisshu."

Pai sighed, and turned off the stove, then looked at the pot. Ichigo came over, and looked in. "That looks absolutely disgusting," she said bluntly. "From now on, I'm doing the cooking. Unless it's something like cereal or a sandwich, no more food preparation for you."

Pai sighed again. "You said something about stomach medicine?" he asked.

"I think it'll help Kisshu," Ichigo said. "Do you have any?"

"Yeah, I'll show you," Pai said. He walked out of the kitchen and to a room near the lab. It looked like a hospital room, and had a shelf of medicine bottles on the far wall. Pai went over to the shelf, and after looking around, took one down. "Give Kisshu a spoonful of this," he told Ichigo. "I'll go clean up the mess I made in the kitchen."

"Okay," Ichigo said. She took the bottle, and Pai handed her a spoon. Then she walked back to Kisshu's room.

When she got there, Kisshu was asleep, but he didn't look too good. His cheeks were flushed, and he was tossing and turning in his sleep. Suddenly his eyes shot open, but before Ichigo could say anything, he turned over and threw up again. When he was finished, Ichigo said, "Kisshu, Pai said you need a spoonful of this, okay?"

"Okay," Kisshu said. Ichigo poured some medicine onto the spoon, and held it out to Kisshu, who swallowed it. "That stuff is gross," he said.

"Well, if it helps, it'll be worth it, right?" Ichigo said.

"Yeah.." Kisshu said. He sounded tired, so Ichigo said, "Go back to sleep, I'll be here."

"Thanks…." Kisshu said, as he fell back to sleep.

I KNOW I'm horrible. Don't flame me for it. I just like fluff, and this seems to be my way of getting it in. Review!
