Ichigo's Illness Chapter 27:
Pai's Report
Ichigo and Lettuce both woke up that night, with no ill effects from healing. Keiichiro made them some dinner, and then Ichigo, Sakura and Kisshu left to go home.
The next day was a Saturday, and Pai and Keiichiro called everyone together to hear the news from Cyniclonia.
Once everyone was gathered in the basement, including the police, Pai said, "I went to Cyniclonia, and immediately got summoned to meet with the elders. As we predicted, they had heard from Deep Blue, and they were not happy with us. I was able to heal the planet, but we've all been exiled, with the death sentence if we go back. I did learn that Deep Blue isn't sending anyone else to Earth; it seems his spirit disappeared after he told the elders about us. So Earth isn't in danger anymore, but Kisshu, Taruto and I will need to live here."
"That's fine," Keiichiro said. "Pai, you and Taruto are welcome to the rooms upstairs, and I'm sure Kisshu will be fine living with Ichigo and her parents."
"Keiichiro, if Pai's living here, just remember to keep him far away from the kitchen," Kisshu said.
"Why?" Keiichiro asked.
"He has a bad habit of forgetting about the things he's cooking," Kisshu said. "Unless you like the smoke alarm, it's a bad idea to let him cook. Oh, and there was that time he poisoned us…."
"I understand," Keiichiro said as Pai glared at Kisshu. "I won't let him near the kitchen."
"Good," Kisshu and Taruto said in unison.
"Is there anything else?" Keiichiro asked.
"Not that I can think of," Pai said.
"Then I guess we can all go home," Keiichiro said. "Thank you for all your hard work, everyone."
The others all nodded, and went their separate ways.
When Ichigo and Kisshu got home, Sakura was on the phone. When she saw them, she covered the mouthpiece and asked, "Kisshu, what's your last name?"
"Ikisatashi," Kisshu said.
"Thanks," Sakura said, and went back to the phone. Ichigo and Kisshu went upstairs, and sat down on Ichigo's bed.
"What do you think she's doing?" Kisshu asked.
"Probably signing you up for school," Ichigo said. "I hope we have all the same classes."
"So do I," Kisshu said.
A while later, Sakura came upstairs and said, "Okay, Kisshu, I signed you up to go to Ichigo's school. You should have all your classes together, and I informed the principal that you've never been to a public school, so I would like Ichigo to show you around. He agreed to that, so you should be all set. I'm going to go get your uniform, and I think you should have some other human clothes, too. That outfit is going to attract mostly unwanted attention."
"Okay," Kisshu said. "Do I need to go with you?"
"No, I'll be fine," Sakura said, smiling. "You two have fun!"
"Thanks Mom," Ichigo said.
"Yeah, thanks," Kisshu said.
"You're welcome," Sakura said, and left. She came back later that day, with a bunch of clothes for Kisshu, as well as his school uniform. "You're starting on Monday," she told him. "Ichigo walks to school, so she can show you the way."
"I actually already know where it is," Kisshu admitted.
"Yeah, I'm not surprised," Ichigo said. "Before we got together, didn't you spend all your time stalking me?"
"Um… some of the time I was at the ship," Kisshu said.
"Why were you stalking her, Kisshu?" Sakura asked.
"I wanted her to be in love with me, so I'd follow her around," Kisshu said sheepishly. "She didn't usually see me, though. Which was good, because I told Pai that I was gathering information, not stalking."
"Yeah, you know a lot about me," Ichigo said. "Which is good, because I don't have to tell you what I do and don't like."
"I guess stalking you was a good thing," Kisshu said. "Besides, that's how I found out you were sick."
"And that's what led to us cooperating," Ichigo said.
"That reminds me, how was that meeting?" Sakura asked.
"Pai informed us we've all been exiled," Kisshu said. "But he managed to heal the planet, so that's the good news."
"Well, you're welcome to live with us," Sakura said.
"Thanks, Sakura," Kisshu said. Sakura smiled, and left Ichigo and Kisshu alone.
Well, I think that's it for tonight. I'll post more tomorrow, I think. Review!
