Brought Together Chapter 12:
Going into Hiding
Pai looked worried as he continued, "I scanned the radar over all of Japan and found nothing on Ryou. So then I broadened the search to the whole Earth. I couldn't find him anywhere."
"This is bad," Keiichiro said. "Now we have no idea when or where he might strike. I wonder how he managed to hide like that?"
"Unfortunately, I have no clue," Pai said. "It's like he just vanished."
"Well, until we find him or get attacked, we should help Ichigo get ready," Kisshu said. "I think we should get some more food, too, since it's not like we have any money, and I doubt she could eat our food."
"I can go shopping while you guys help Ichigo pack," Sakura offered. "I'll be back soon."
"Thanks, Mrs. Momomiya," Pai said. "Ichigo, you should get started on packing clothes and stuff. You should bring your pendant this time, so you'll have it handy. I suggest you bring your sleeping bag and pillow again, so you'll have somewhere to sleep."
"Okay, I'll go do that," Ichigo said.
"Can I help?" Kisshu asked.
"Fine, but no going through my drawers," Ichigo said. Kisshu sighed, but followed Ichigo upstairs.
Once they got to Ichigo's room, she took out a suitcase, and started stuffing clothes into it. After she stuffed a bunch of clothes in, she went to the bathroom, and got her toiletries. Then she came back and put those in the suitcase as well. She grabbed her pillow and sleeping bag, and said, "Okay, I'm all set. Can you carry the suitcase?"
Kisshu nodded, and picked it up. Then the two of them went back downstairs. Sakura was back, and she had a lot of groceries. "Okay, I got you all a bunch of food, and if you need more at some point, come let me know," she said.
"Thanks, Mom," Ichigo said. Then she turned to Kisshu and Pai. "Should we get going?" she asked.
"Hai," Pai said. Ichigo nodded, and hugged both her parents, saying, "Bye, I'll miss you."
Shintaro and Sakura both said, "Be safe, okay?"
"Yep!" Ichigo said. Then she, Kisshu and Pai grabbed the groceries and her stuff, and teleported back to the Cyniclon's ship.
They arrived in Kisshu's room, where Ichigo would be staying. "I'll go put this food in the kitchen," Pai said, and left them alone.
"So Koneko-chan, what do you want to do now?" Kisshu asked with a perverted smirk.
Ichigo, unfortunately, didn't notice, and said, "Beats me. What about you?"
"This!" Kisshu said, and kissed her right on the lips before she had a chance to move. She tried to back away, but Kisshu wrapped his arms around her, so she couldn't escape. Ichigo struggled for a minute, but Kisshu didn't let go. However, soon enough, and to both of their surprise, Ichigo began to kiss back, though not as passionately as Kisshu.
Finally they broke apart for air. When they both got their breath back, Kisshu smirked and said, "So, you do like me, huh Koneko-chan?"
"Yes…" Ichigo said softly.
Kisshu seemed a bit shocked. That quickly wore off, and he shouted, "YES!" causing Ichigo's ears and tail to pop out.
"You don't know how long I've wanted to hear that," Kisshu said after he calmed down a bit. "I've loved you from the beginning, and I always wanted that feeling to be returned."
"I'm sorry I didn't realize that sooner," Ichigo said. "But I'm glad Pai told me that you actually did love me, because now we're together."
"Hey, I told you the same thing several times," Kisshu said.
"Yes, but you also claimed I was your toy, and that's not what love is," Ichigo reminded him.
"Oh… yeah…" Kisshu said.
Ichigo smiled and said, "Well, we're together now, and that's all that matters."
I'm aware that after last night's cliffie, this is probably pretty disappointing. I don't think this came out the way I wanted it to. I know it's filler, but I'll try to make the next chapter better- after people review, that is!
