Betraying My People Chapter 15:

Fluff

Ichigo and Kisshu went back to their room, and sat on the bed. "What should we do now?" Ichigo asked.

"Make out?" Kisshu suggested eagerly.

"Is that all you think about?" Ichigo asked.

Kisshu smirked, and said, "Pretty much."

Ichigo rolled her eyes, but she was smiling. "You've got a one-track mind," she said.

"I do not," Kisshu said.

"Oh?" Ichigo said. "What else do you think about?"

"Um… food…" Kisshu said.

Ichigo burst out laughing. Kisshu looked rather disgruntled with that response. "What's so funny?" he asked.

"You!" Ichigo said, and continued laughing. "The only thing you think about besides kissing me is food?"

"There wasn't a lot on our planet, so food is a perfectly natural thing to think about," Kisshu said.

Ichigo stopped laughing. "I'm sorry," she said.

Kisshu sighed. "I came to Earth in hopes that I could help my people, and then less people would die of sickness or starvation," he said. "I just hope the Mew Aqua will help."

Ichigo took his hand, and said, "I think it will. We'll make it work."

Kisshu pulled her into his arms and hugged her, burying his face in her shoulder. Ichigo was a bit surprised, but hugged him back. Suddenly she felt Kisshu's shoulders shaking, and, worried, asked, "What's wrong?"

"I miss my parents," Kisshu said, his voice muffled by Ichigo's shirt. "They died a long time ago, but I really miss them."

"I'm sorry I brought this topic up," Ichigo said softly. "Don't worry, I'm here for you."

"Thanks, Koneko-chan," Kisshu said softly. "I'm tired, can we go to sleep for a while?"

"Sure," Ichigo said. She gently let him go, and he laid back. Ichigo pulled a blanket over them, and laid back. Kisshu was already asleep, and Ichigo wasn't far off. She put an arm over Kisshu, and he snuggled up to her in his sleep. She smiled slightly as she fell asleep.

A few hours later, both of them were woken up by someone shaking them. Kisshu opened his eyes, and saw Pai standing over him, looking actually scared. "Is something wrong?" he asked. "You look scared."

"I was doing research on Deep Blue, and figured out that he can cause sickness in anyone," Pai said. "I found you two asleep and got worried."

"Sorry," Ichigo said. "Kisshu and I got tired earlier, so we decided to go to sleep. I'm fine. Kisshu, what about you?"

"I'm fine," Kisshu said. "But I'm hungry, what time is it?"

"A little past six," Pai said. "Ichigo, do you want to cook something?"

"Sure, what do you guys want?" Ichigo asked.

"Something with noodles," Kisshu said. "Do we have anything for that?"

"Sure," Ichigo said. "Is noodles with chicken okay?"

"Sure," Pai said. "I think I should tell Keiichiro my latest findings, so I'll go to Café Mew Mew while you're cooking."

"Why not invite Keiichiro over for dinner?" Ichigo asked. "We never have guests."

"I guess," Pai said. "I'll see if he wants to come." He teleported off.

Kisshu and Ichigo got up and went to the kitchen. Ichigo started the chicken, and then got out a package of noodles, which she put into boiling water. She put a bunch of seaonings into the chicken, then started shredding it. Then she mixed the chicken and noodles together in one pot.

Pai teleported in a few minutes later with Keiichiro, and said, "That smells good. I brought Keiichiro."

"Good, it's almost ready," Ichigo said. "Kisshu, will you set the table?"

"I already did," Kisshu said. "You just weren't looking."

"Thanks," Ichigo said, blushing. "Where's Taruto?"

"Pudding's, being attacked by her siblings," Keiichiro said. "They've got so much energy."

"Should we get him?" Pai asked.

"No, Pudding invited him for dinner; her siblings are playing while she cooks," Keiichiro said.

"Okay, it's ready," Ichigo said. She put the pot on the table, and said, "You can help yourselves, there's plenty."

"Thank you," Pai, Keiichiro and Kisshu said. Keiichiro took some, and waited as the others took some as well.

As soon as they all had some, they started eating. "This is really good, Ichigo," Keiichiro said. "You're a good cook."

"Thanks," Ichigo said. "It's a good thing, since none of these guys can cook very well. And Pai can't cook without creating a disaster or burning something."

Pai sighed. "Why do you have to remind me of that constantly?" he asked.

"So you won't try anything," Kisshu said. "That smoke alarm really hurts."

"Pai, you said something about Deep Blue making people sick," Keiichiro said. "Would you explain that further?"

"Hai," Pai said. "I thought that the illness that nearly killed Kisshu was caused by Deep Blue, but my search on that subject proved it. I was researching the effect Deep Blue could have on a specific Cyniclon or human, since he is so powerful. I found that he has the ability to create a sickness and then attach it to one person. And I think that if he was to do it again, he would either go for Kisshu again- or Ichigo."

"Why me?" Ichigo asked, sounding scared.

"You're the strongest Mew," Keiichiro said. "If Deep Blue wants the strongest fighters out of the way, he'd have to take down you and Kisshu."

Ichigo looked scared. Kisshu noticed and said, "Don't worry about it. I think if he's going to make someone sick again, it'll be me, and you can heal, remember?"

"Yeah…" Ichigo said.

"I also believe that Deep Blue will appear fairly soon," Pai said. "If his human host has gone missing, it probably means he's getting ready to attack."

"I'll let the other Mews know as soon as possible," Keiichiro said. "What will you do after this battle is over?"

"Get the Mew Aqua and go home, hopefully," Pai said. "I don't see how we could stay on Earth."

"And Ichigo?" Keiichiro asked.

"She helped us in a big way, it should be fine if she goes too," Kisshu said.

"I agree," Pai said. "And I told my parents to inform our leader that Deep Blue never intended to help us."

"Good," Keiichiro said. "I hope the other Cyniclons understand the situation."

"So do I," Pai said. "We'll have to wait and see. I just hope we don't get exiled if my parents don't manage to convince our leader that Deep Blue is evil."

"I have two spare rooms if that happens," Keiichiro said. "I know there's four of you, but we could work it out."

"Kisshu and I already sleep together," Ichigo said. "Sharing isn't a problem for us."

"Pai, would you and Taruto be capable of sharing a room?" Keiichiro asked.

"Probably," Pai said. "Unless, of course, Pudding asks Taruto to live with her. She really seems to like him."

"Well, we'll see," Keiichiro said. "We don't even know if you will get exiled."

"True," Pai said. He turned to Ichigo and said, "Would you like me and Keiichiro to do the dishes?"

"That'd be great," Ichigo said. Pai nodded, and started collecting the dishes. Keiichiro went to the sink and rolled up his sleeves.

Kisshu said, "Koneko-chan, wanna go back to our room?"

"Sure," Ichigo said.

Pai heard them and said, "Don't go too far."

"You still sound like Uncle Aran," Kisshu complained. "Don't you trust us?"

"Ichigo, yes, but not you," Pai said.

Kisshu sighed and teleported out with Ichigo. They landed on the bed, and flopped back. Ichigo looked at Kisshu, and asked, "Why is Pai worried?"

"He thinks I'm immature," Kisshu grumbled. "And irresponsible, and probably stupid, too."

"I'm sure Pai doesn't think you're stupid," Ichigo said. "And I don't think any of those are true."

"Thanks, Koneko-chan," Kisshu said. "I'm glad we're together."

"Me too," Ichigo said with a smile.

"Hey, I just remembered something I forgot to do earlier," Kisshu said, sitting up.

"What?" Ichigo asked.

Kisshu smirked and said, "This." Then he pulled her closer, put a hand on the back of her head, and kissed her passionately. Ichigo's eyes slid shut, and she kissed back, pulling Kisshu closer. It was a while before they broke apart.

Finally they stopped kissing, and looked at each other, breathing hard. "That was….. great," Ichigo said.

Kisshu smiled and said, "It was, wasn't it? I love kissing you."

"I love kissing you too," Ichigo said. "You're really good."

"Thanks," Kisshu said. "So are you."

Ichigo smiled. Then she yawned. "I'm getting tired," she said.

"It's about 9," Kisshu said. "Should we go to bed?"

"Yeah…" Ichigo said sleepily. She was already half-asleep. Kisshu pulled a blanket over them, and started stroking Ichigo's hair. She was already sleeping. Her cat ears popped out in her sleep, and Kisshu petted them. Ichigo started purring and leaned into his hand. Eventually, her purring put Kisshu to sleep as well.

Based on what Pai found out about Deep Blue, can you guess what I'll do next? Review and tell me! I won't update until two people guess!
