Pai: Okay, cut the crap what do you want?
Oasisblue: Ohhh pushy! Can you do the disclaimer please?
Pai: Oasisblue doesn't own Tokyo mew mew, thank goodness because then she would own me and… (Pai walks off shuddering and mumbling to himself)
Oasisblue: Enjoy fellow readers!
"Whoa Ebony what's the rush?"
"Hey mum, brought a friend over be down for dinner later!" Then she pulled Ichigo upstairs into her room, she locked the door and they both sat down on the floor.
"I need to ask you something Ichigo."
"What it's so important you needed to drag me all the way here?"
"Yes and you're a cat you should be used to it! Leave the sarcasm to me too! Anyway I know you've probably gone through all this with Masaya anyway but there's this guy. The other day he told me he really liked me and I didn't know what to say so I said uh, got to go and ran off. I know I feel the same way now but I didn't then and I'm afraid I gave him the idea I don't like him! What can I say to him Ichigo? Help me please!" Ebony was out of breath by the time she finished and Ichigo was just sat there looking crafty.
"I don't know what Kish is like so I couldn't tell you but –." Ichigo was cut off by Ebony
"How did you know it was Kish? I mean I never said it was Kish, what makes you think I like Kish huh? He he" She laughed nervously and put her hand behind her head smiling.
"It's so obvious everybody at the café knows, apart from Shirogane but he's too slow to catch up. We know why he wanted to talk to you and we know what it was about, you blush when you see him and when he's mentioned and Pudding saw you hugging!"
"Awww Pudding! Man why does she have to be so little and sneaky and that damn little Sherlock Pudding suit! Did I really make it that obvious andblush" Ebony quieted down mumbling to herself.
"Well if I was in your situation Ebony I would just wait until the next time I could see Kish which would probably be the next battle! Then when everybody was gone I would stay behind and tell him that I was just confused at the time and I totally do like you and that…" This time Ichigo had trailed off because instead of thinking she was fantasizing about how that would be if it were her and Masaya.
"Thanks Ichigo, fat lot of help that was!"
"Well sorry Masaya and I are in luuuurve!" (By the way I hate Masaya but he had to be in this fanfic to go with Ichigo!)
"Yeah Ichigo I think you can go now anyway my dinners ready." Ebony was a little upset by Ichigo's previous comment and Ichigo noticed.
"Oh I'm sorry Ebony I didn't realise."
"No it's fine, I will see you tomorrow yeah?" By now as they were talking they had reached Ebony's front door. Ichigo had nodded and said her goodbyes to Ebony's mum walking down the path.
"She's nice honey, who was she?" Her mum was asking her these questions as they sat down and ate dinner together.
"Oh that's Ichigo mum, she goes to school with me and she works at the café too!"
"I didn't know that, feel free to invite any other friends round anytime."
"Cheers mum I will." The rest of the time that Ebony and her mum were at the table they were to busy eating to talk. When she had finished she checked she didn't have to do any homework for Monday. Then she placed her uniform on a hanger and put it on her door changed into her pyjamas and listened to some music then at 10:30 fell asleep.
"Oh ding!" Ebony had woken up later than she wanted and she needed to shower so she was basically in the shower in a millisecond. She reappeared in her room drying herself on and getting changed at lighting speed, leaving her time to dry her hair and tie it into a low ponytail which she placed across her shoulders.
"Hi mum, bye mum!" Ebony was practically running to school when she banged into someone and fell onto the ground.
"Damn gravity!" Ebony stood up and rubbed her back where she hit the ground.
"Ebony?" Ebony couldn't quite make out the person as they were taller and the sun was behind them almost making them look like a silhouette. 'Could it be Kish? I didn't really hear there voice a second ago.' So she grabbed there wrists and pulled them out of the sun.
"Ichigo is that you?"
"Yeah, who did you think it was?" Ichigo sounded confused as to why she would have thought it was somebody else when it clearly sounded like her'Oh maybe she thought it was Kish, whoops'.
"Oh nobody, listen do you know how late we are! Let's go, come on move it strawberry go, go and go!" Ebony stated this like she was the sergeant in an army or something. Ichigo gave her the weirdest look ever but did as she was told, both the girls ran as fast as they could to the school, with Ichigo doing the odd cat jump of a wall. When they stepped through the gate they started walking and straightened there selves out not wanting to look stupid. They stepped inside the school and the final bell went.
"What a workout! I will see you after school Ichigo right?"
"Nope, I have a date with Masaya so Shirogane gave me the day off or said I could come in when my date was done, which now I think about it was very weird!"
"Okay then, see you whenever" The girls both went off to different corridors, Ebony knowing exactly why Shirogane was being so nice. 'Maybe Blondie's gone all soft just because I gave him a little kiss on the cheek the other day, Nah' She nearly had a laughing fit but held it in and she slipped into her classroom sat down in her seat just to answer 'here' to the register right on cue. Ebony and her two best friends were all sat next to each other in music class. They loved this most because the teacher wouldn't care if they spoke. He would just say 'Voice is an instrument, therefore I have nothing against you using it' or something like that.
"Why were you so late this morning Ebony and I know your usually late but your never that late!" Ayame was worried about her friend in case something had happened or she was ill and had to spend the day with Sakura on her own she shuddered as she thought this.
"Oh no my alarm's just rubbish or it has something against me and decided not to go off. Anyway Sakura did you have an interesting weekend on maybe… oh I don't know Sunday afternoon?"
"I knew it you were the one knocking on the door and looking through the window."
"I don't know what your talking about I was with Ayame on Sunday wasn't I Ay'?"
"Yup you definitely were." The two girls started laughing while Sakura's head was completely red and looked like it was about to spin round her head. Sakura pulled Ebony and Ayame under the table and started to talk to them in a hushed tone.
"Okay Eb' I know it was you and I know you saw me kissing Hojo so what's the big deal? Do you have to shout it out and announce it?"
"Actually I didn't you on the other hand just did." Ebony pointed to the microphone Ayame had in her hand.
"WTF! How embarrassing, oh ding." Sakura ran out the classroom door and supposedly outside sat on a bench.
"Well done Ay'!"
"Hey it wasn't my fault I 'forgot' I was holding it."
"Okay that was mean! But on the other hand totally funny! Do you think we should go see if she's okay?"
"Nope, it looks like she already got company, besides it's the end of the day they probably want to walk home together." Ayame pointed outside the window to Hojo putting his arm around Sakura's shoulder and her resting her head on his shoulder.
Both girls went 'Awww' not realising the window was open and Hojo and Sakura could hear. Hojo turned round to look at them with a smile on his face but Sakura was giving them a death glare.
"Heeeey Hojo, Sakura, how you doing?" Ebony said this awkwardly as she and Ayame slowly backed away from the window with guilty smiles then turned round and ran out the classroom door they were just lucky it was the end of lesson and the end of the day and that there music teacher was loopy so he wouldn't notice!
"Man that was too close!"
"Yeah let's never spy on Sakura again."
"Never is a harsh word Ayame, lets just say 'less often' but I have got to get to work so see you whenever Ay' oh and if you see Sakura watch out, you can't stick up for yourself like I can; no offence!" But before Ayame could reply she just waved Ebony off as she walked down the road, she turned around she saw something she didn't want to and gulped.
"Hello… Ayame!" Sakura had suddenly turned massive, with a fire background surrounding her and Ayame was tiny and looking very scared.
"U…um h…h…hi S-S-Sakura"
"Yo, what's up girlfriends?" Ebony was feeling more hyper than usual for some reason.
"Ebony Na no da!" Pudding ran up to Ebony and they did this handshake which they made up.
"Your learning Pud' nearly there!" Keiichero walked in smiling at the two girls, they were closest in the group and Pudding of her as a big sister.
"Afternoon Ebony"
"Oh hey Keiichero, where's Blondie?"
"Oh he's busy in the lab; I wouldn't disturb him if I were you."
"Okey dokie" Ebony did the opposite of what Keiichero had said and was now running towards the 'bear cave'
"Keiichero you do know she is going to go and disturb him now don't you?"
"Oh well" Keiichero sighed and walked back into the kitchen and the other girls got back to work. Ebony was on her way down to the 'bear cave' and she heard Shirogane busy typing on the computer.
"Heya Blondie, don't be on the computer too long you'll get square eyes!" (Sound familiar? XD) But it was weird he didn't make a 'feh' or a 'pfft' noise and didn't even respond. Ebony walked up to him and waved her hand in front of his face only for him to snap his hand up and catch her wrist.
"What the heck do you think you were doing with him?"
"Huh?" Shirogane pointed to the screen and Ebony followed her gaze up to the biggest screen he was pointing too. It was footage of Ebony and Kish hugging at Tokyo Tower.
"Oh, that 'him', he he, well you see that's kind of a long story!" She laughed nervously trying to put on her cutest smile.
"Save me the details Ebony, the other girls spilled about you and Kish. Why did you do it Eb' he's the enemy!"
"I think I love him Shirogane is that what you wanted to hear? I'm sorry but finally somebody actually told me they loved me and I can't help it if I do as well. I know he's the enemy and I know that one day he will have to betray me or I will have to betray him, but for now can't you just let me be happy!" Ebony was kind of embarrassed that she said it out loud but she didn't care, whilst Shirogane looked speechless.
"Oh" He let go of her wrist and looked right in her eyes, making her blush.
"What no, that's forbidden or something? Anyway he probably hates me now so you don't have to worry about me seeing him, only in fights!"
"You can go."
"Whatever Blondie, make sure you get some fresh air soon, it cant be good for you locked up in your bear cave all day" 'Maybe if I kiss him again he won't be so harsh about me and Kish' She kissed Shirogane on the cheek and waved him off and walked out the door into the changing rooms then re-appeared in her uniform. Shirogane was sat in the 'bear cave' thinking, 'I like you Ebony, shame your to in love with that alien to notice'
"Hey Ebony what did Shirogane say you were in there a long time?" Zakuro was suspicious of them.
"Oh well uh he kind of found out about the whole me and Kish thing, no thanks to you guys spilling everything!" Everyone gasped and Mint spoke up.
"Oh no what did he say? You know he has a major crush on you right?"
"He just said like 'oh' and then I could go, and what is it with everybody saying he's crushing on me, when he obviously isn't!" Keiichero heard her last statement and appeared out of the kitchen.
"That's not strictly true Ebony."
"Omj, you mean my dad was actually right?" He just nodded in return then disappeared back to the kitchen she turned to the other girls with a pink face.
They turned the other way whistling and looking innocent and Ebony just shrugged this off and started to work, cleaning tables. As she wiped a table she got bored, looked out the window and started to day-dream. It was about Shirogane coming up the stairs and telling them there was an alien attack, just Kish. Then when they get there Kish teleports just her and Ebony to a place on there own and they talk things out. But she was brought back from this by Mint flicking her cheek.
"Hey, cut that out snob!"
"You've been cleaning that table for 5 minutes, so move I want to drink my tea in peace!" Mint bumped her hip with Ebony's pushing her out the way and sitting down, but as Mint had the tea cup to her lips,
"Girls attack, go to the top of Ariel inc. offices there on the roof!" Ebony turned around to Mint with a smile going from ear to ear and her arms crossed.
"Oh Mint looks like you can't have your tea after all!" They both death glared all the way running to Ariel inc. as Ebony was doing this, she didn't realise but she really missed Kish. She missed him stalking her and popping up and kissing her out of nowhere. She missed his hugs, feeling his strong, warm arms wrapped and her waist and feeling his breath on the back of her neck. She was practically sprinting to there destination, she had to see him. They took the stairs up to the roof as only Mint could fly and she wouldn't be able to carry them. As the girls reached the roof Ichigo came running up behind them from her date with Masaya.
"Hey mew mews" Ebony jerked her head up as it wasn't Kish's voice she heard it was… Tart!
"We will not go back defeated." Ebony looked across this time it was Pai, she looked in all direction of the roof. 'Where's Kish?' As if Pudding read Ebony's mind she said
"Tar-tar where's Kish Na no da?"
"My name isn't.., ah why do I bother! Kish was too busy sulking like love-sick puppies so we came without him, he doesn't know we've come here." 'I knew it, he is upset with me' Tart saw Ebony's facial expression but of course he had already figured it out himself. Ebony and Kish had a fight and now they are both sulking and haven't spoken to each other. 'Should I go get Kish? I can't stand seeing him all upset, he's like my brother. But if Pai asks I can just say we could use him to help us fight?' Tart came out from his thoughts only to dodge Mint's arrow.
"Whoa." Tart just teleported it could have gone right through him.
"Mews we've got a surprise for you." As Pai said this 2 chimeras came out of no-where and landed on the roof.
"Oh yeah Pai, we really didn't see that coming!" The girls snickered then they all called there weapons whilst Pai and Tart teleported higher into the sky out of the way.
"Cowards, come down here and fight with us!" Zakuro shouted up at the sky, obviously annoyed.
"Ribbon Mint Echo!" An arrow flew from Mint and hit one of the chimeras, Mint, Zakuro and Ebony were fighting one, but Pudding, Lettuce and Ichigo were busy fighting the other one.
"Ribbon Lettuce Rush!" The blow of water almost sent the chimera flying of the roof but it regained it's balance in time only to be hit by,
"Ribbon Pudding ring Inferno!" The second chimera animal was stuck in Pudding's attack and now Ichigo could finish it off.
"Ribbon Strawberry surprise!" Just as Pudding and Ichigo had thought it was destroyed and they were going to give Ebony, Mint and Zakuro a hand but it looked like they had it covered.
"Ribbon Zakuro Sphere! The chimera animals squealed in pain as Zakuro's whip sliced at its body and then it was Ebony's turn.
"Ribbon Ebony Star surge!" Surely enough after all the girls attacks were used the stars flying through the body finished it off and the alien's teleported back down to them.
"We will get you next time mews!" Pai was annoyed that he was defeated by 6 teenage girls again!
"That's what you say every-time Pai, face it you just got your butt whipped by 6 teenage girls!" Ebony stood there with her arms crossed casually and Pai was off again in a mood. But before Tart teleported he took one last look at Ebony and how her eyes looked different than before the went back to the ship.
"Uggghhh, that flipping midget and stupid nerd!" Ebony was muttering to herself as she turned back into a human and back down the steps out of the building back to the café.
"Ichigo, Ebony is sad that Kish wasn't there then wasn't she? Na no da" Pudding didn't like seeing Ebony upset it made her upset too.
"Yeah I think so Pudding but don't say anything unless she asks you first." Ichigo replied as the rest of them turned back into there human selves and traced Ebony's steps back to Café mew mew.
"Those stupid girls, we lost again!"
"Forget about it Pai, we will just have to think up a better plan and maybe we should take Kish next time!"
"Humph" Was the only noise that came from Pai as he teleported, probably back to his nerd cave. 'I think I should go tell Kish' Tart teleported to Kish's room to still find him in the same place, thinking.
"Kish?"
"What Midget? Where've you been anyway?"
"Um, well we were just fighting the mews actually." Kish shot straight up at his comment.
"What? You went to fight and didn't think to tell me?"
"It was Pai's idea and I didn't feel like arguing with him, when he was in mood he was in!"
"Well um, how was the new mew, what was she called Ebony?" Kish tried to sound like he wasn't interested in the mew but really he wanted to know if she was okay and he wanted to see her.
"Okay Kish, cut the act, I know you love that new mew and if you want to know how she was she looked really disappointed when she saw you weren't there and her eyes seemed kind of… cold, I'm no relationship expert I'm only 11 but I'm guessing she missed you."
"Really?"
"Yeah you should go see her, I think she wants to see you, but obviously you know, she can't with us in a spaceship and all. See you." Then Tart teleported out of Kish's room with him still sat there smiling this time. 'She really did miss me huh? Cutie…'
'Why wasn't Kish there? Ebony was sat at a table in the café with her one leg crossed over the other and her fist holding up her chin, as it was past closing time when they were fighting. The door slammed and only Ichigo walked in.
"Hey Ichigo where's the others?"
"Oh well Zakuro went back to her movie rehearsal, Mint got picked up in her limo and Pudding went home to her siblings and Lettuce walked back to her house. I thought I would come back and see if you were okay."
"Yeah I'm fine, just bummed that Kish wasn't at that last fight."
"Well maybe, the next one hey?" Ebony nodded and her and Ichigo said bye to Keiichero and Shirogane then they were out the door walking home.
"Well this is where we part ways; I think I'm going to sit in the park for a bit."
"Oh ok then see you at school tomorrow." After Ebony was finished talking with Ichigo she sat down on her favourite wooden bench by the fountain that she sat on sometimes in the morning. She put her head on the back of the bench and closed her eyes she wanted to feel the last of the sun rays on her face before it went dark.
"Cutie" She shot up as she thought she heard somebody whisper cutie in her ear, but as she looked around nobody was there.
"Oh great I miss him so much, I'm imagining he's there!" She lay back down with her head on the bench and closed her eyes to try and stop the tears, but one managed to slide down her cheek. Ebony didn't move when she felt a thumb wipe it away, she opened her eyes to, two beautiful golden ones. Knowing who it was she leapt forward full force wrapping her arms around Kish's waist, almost pushing him backwards and crying into his chest. Kish stroked Ebony's hair as he said
"Miss me cutie? Im sorry I didn't come to see you" He pulled her in closer as he heard her sobs.
"Kish, I'm sorry I ran off, I didn't want you to think I don't like you because I do really like you Kish."
"Its ok cutie I believe you, it's my fault for not coming to see you sooner. Maybe I should stay away from you more often if you get this upset over a few days." Ebony looked up at him and lightly punched his arm.
"Relax cutie I was only joking!" As Ebony released herself from his hug, Kish wiped the tears of her face, keeping his hand on her chin. They looked each other in the eyes smiling. Ebony moved her face closer to Kish as he did the same and he lightly kissed her. She pushed his hand off her face and brushed her bangs out of her face, now Kish could see the blush on her face. Ebony's phone started to go off and she answered it, knowing it would be her mum.
"Hey mum"
"Hi honey, are you okay? Dinner's in a minute are you coming home?" Ebony laughed.
"Yes mum I'm fine, I just had to stay and help clean up at the café that's all. I'm walking home now so see you then, love you"
"Love you too." Ebony snapped her phone shut and put back in her pocket.
"Hey Kish I have to go home my –." She stopped when she saw Kish had gone, she sighed heavily and looked down starting to walk out the park. She almost jumped out of her skin when Kish teleported right in front of her.
"Don't worry cutie; I'd never leave you on your own."
"Kish don't do that, do you want to give me a heart attack?"
"Of course not cutie, now what were you saying a second ago?"
"Oh ding, now my mum's going to be really worried! I said I'd be home in a few minutes but I'll be late. That's your fault you know!"
"Im sorry, look do you want me to teleport you?"
"You know I do have these, there called le-." Ebony stopped when she felt Kish take her hand and the picture of the park in front of her rippled then when it cleared it was the end of her street.
"Le….gs" Ebony finished her sentence quite stunned by the whole teleporting thing.
"You used that line already cutie! I wouldn't want your mum getting worried about you."
"Thanks Kish, that was really sweet." She kissed Kish and ran off down the road to her house.
"Don't you think I deserve another one for teleporting you? It's quite tiring you know" Kish shouted down the street to Ebony.
"Get used to it Kish! I'm not the 'I buy everything easily' type of girl!"
"I kind of gathered that!" He shouted to her, then he teleported back to Tart's room in the ship.
He ran up to Tart and picked him up and hugged him.
"Ew gross, Kish why did you just hug me?"
"If you hadn't told me about Ebony, I would have never gone to see her and we would have never made up. So thanks Tart." Then he walked out of Tarts room into the kitchen. 'Glad your happy again, Kish'
"So you're finished sulking like a 5 year old?"
"Shut up Pai. I wasn't sulking just thinking so stop interfering with my life and stick to your own!" Kish was annoyed by Pai as he thought that Pai could at least be the slightest big concerned of his comrade, but he was just harsh.
Ebony had got into her house smiling like a maniac then when her mum asked why she just said she remembered a joke Ichigo had told her, then went up to her room. She was sat on her bed with her mobile in her hand thinking, 'Should I tell Ichigo about me and Kish, she might want to know? But then I can't tell her everything she could tell the others and we need moments to ourselves Maybe I can just say we made up? Yeah'
"Ichigo?"
"Oh heya Ebony, you sound happy what happened?"
"Kish and I made up; he came to see me when I was in the park, so we both said sorry and stuff."
"Oh that's good, can I tell the others?"
"Yeah, I'd be too embarrassed to, but make sure Keiichero or Shirogane don't hear, I'd be busted!"
"Oh don't worry I would never tell them anyway."
"How was your date with Masaya, before the fight I forgot to ask?"
"It was really boring we went to this tree convention but I didn't tell him that"
"The world of trees hey? Sounds really interesting and I'd love for you to tell me more but I got to go now" She was very sarcastic at the thought of a museum of trees.
"Okay bye"
"Bye Ichigo" Ebony slammed her phone shut and went into the bathroom; she reappeared in her pyjamas and got into bed. 'Darn, I forgot to eat dinner my stomachs going to keep groaning and I won't be able to sleep' Ebony pushed the covers off of herself then tip-toed down into the kitchen knowing her mother would be asleep. She turned the light on and started ravaging through the cupboards. 'Ah-ha' she picked a cereal bar out of a tin ad tip-toed back up to her room. She sat on her bed and ate the cereal bar as quietly as she could then dived under her covers as she was freezing; she closed her eyes not completely asleep.
'I haven't been to see cutie sleeping in a while, she looks so peaceful when she is, and maybe I'll go tonight' Kish was sat on one of the floating ruins when this thought came into his head then he teleported outside Ebony's bedroom window, looking in to check she was sleeping. 'Aw she looks cute already!'He teleported once more this time into her room. Kish didn't know that Ebony wasn't really asleep, but she just had her eyes closed. She had heard footsteps and half opened her eyes, then she saw Kish and closed them again. 'I think I can have some fun with this' Ebony kept in a giggle as she thought of a plan. By now Kish was kneeling in front of her bed watching her and Ebony was trying to desperately to look like she was sleeping. 'I know, I can pretend I'm having a night-mare with him in it.' Ebony had been smiling in her bed so far, but for the joke to work she put on a distressed face, Kish's expression also changed when he noticed her smile had disappeared and worry was now plastered on Ebony's face. Then Ebony started to say "Kish, Kish please save me" and she started to turn in her bed. 'What the hell is going on with Cutie?'
"Kish, don't let him get me!" Then it turned into "I know Kish will come to save me, so you can shut-up" Kish was now totally buying Ebony's trick and he had jumped onto her bed next to her and hugged her. But Ebony couldn't contain her laughter anymore so she sat up in her bed and let it flow out.
"Cutie, what's going on?" She laughed even harder now at the look Kish was giving her.
"You're so gullible!"
"You mean that night-mare was a joke?" Ebony just nodded while she was laughing, of course it was quietly so not to wake her mum.
"I was really worried about you Ebony!"
"Serves you right for watching me while I sleep you baka!"
"I told you, you look so cute when you're sleeping."
"I suppose that's an excuse." Ebony pulled Kish off her bed as she stood up and now they were stood in the middle of her room. She hugged Kish and he returned it.
"Kish you have to go, I have school tomorrow"
"I don't want to leave you cutie"
"Go now, if you know what's good for you!"
"What can you possibly do cutie?"
"Whip your butt!"
"Is that a promise?"
"Ah you're such a hentai, leave now Kish!" He kissed her fore-head, it was just dark enough for Ebony to hide her blush, he teleported and Ebony could finally get some sleep.
"Stupid, nocturnal perverted baka!" Then after about 5 minutes Ebony was able to sleep in peace. 'He really does care about me doesn't he?'
"What was all the commotion about last night?"
"I don't know what you mean mum I went straight to bed when I came in." Ebony was scoffing down the last of her breakfast and was out the door before her mother could question her further. Today she was wearing her normal school uniform and her hair that looked shinier than normal was waving on her shoulders curled on the ends. Even she thought she looked quite different today and was unsure why. 'Phew that was close I was trying to be quiet last night it obviously didn't work, then again my mum has ears like a bat!' Ebony didn't stop in the park today she just walked on to school. As she entered the school gate a few boys hadn't gone in yet, they looked up and smiled at Ebon she just smiled back. 'Why do I always get that? But I guess there boys they probably do that to every girl that walks past.' Ebony heard fast footsteps behind her and turned around, Ichigo was running towards her.
"Heya Ichigo, listen could you stand there a second" Ebony placed Ichigo in front of the boys and coughed, they acknowledged Ichigo but didn't smile just went back to what they were doing.
"Interesting" Ebony didn't realise but she had her thinking face on stroking her chin.
"Uh Ebony what are you um doing?"
"Huh, what sorry. I'm actually sort of early for school today so I'm going to go in now and see what my teacher does."
"Okay you're coming to the café later right?"
"Yeah for some reason its okay for everybody else to get more than one day off but not me!"
"Are you seriously telling me that you haven't worked it out yet?" Ichigo looked shocked at the same time looked like she was about to burst with the answer.
"What now? If it's about the whole Shirogane crushing on me and not giving me days off so he can see me you can save it!" Ichigo deflated just like when you let go of a blown up balloon and she got an anime sweat drop, Ebony just ran towards the school building leaving a very flat Ichigo lying on the floor.
"Why were you so early this morning, you seriously need to get your biological clock in check because yesterday you were so late you could have got detention for the rest of your life, yet today your so early you could've given our teacher a heart attack!"
"Okay Ayame if I had any idea what you just said I would answer that, but unfortunately my brain doesn't function this early in the morning!"
"Ebony there's half an hour left until school finishes it's 2.30 in the afternoon!" Ayame said this checking her watch and tapping the glass cover to see if it was still going.
"Yeah well you know Ebony, her brain never functions properly!" Sakura wanted her own back for Ebony spying on her.
"Hey that's….. Wait, that's true, very true in fact!" Then the teacher told them to all shut-up as they were doing a practice maths exam.
Ebony, Sakura and Ayame were walking out of school and started a conversation up about boys.
"Sakura your sorted you have Hojo, I can wait for Masaya but Ebony you seriously have to get a boyfriend soon!" Ebony mumbled to herself and all that could be heard was something like 'If only you knew guys'
"Yeah it's really bugging me you have to get one it would be weird if you were left out!"
"Guys, stop asking me it's starting to tick me off besides I have a boyfrie- Aw dang!" Ebony turned around grabbing Sakura and Ayame with her not realising she took them to the café with her.
"Ebony you have a boyfriend?"
"No I didn't say that I, uh" Ebony looked at Ichigo pleadingly and miming 'Help' but Ichigo didn't get it 'Baka'
"Why didn't you tell us you had a boyfriend Eb'? I bet it's that blonde boss of yours!" Shirogane had come up from the 'bear cave' in time to hear this comment and Ebony knew he was there. She turned around with red cheeks.
"Heeeey Blondie, she didn't mean that!" She turned around giving death glares to he friends "No it's not that blonde self obsessed jerk! I didn't even mean that I had a boyfriend I was pretending so you'd leave me alone!" She whispered this time.
"Oooohh I'm sorry Ebony!" Ayame looked guilty for doing what she did when she turned to Sakura she knew what was coming next
"I'm not! I'm glad I embarrassed you!"
"Love you too Sakura!" Ebony out on a sarcastic smile then turned to Ayame.
"Hey do you two want to stay and eat here? I can get you the menus and stuff I just got to get changed"
"Uh sure Ebony"
"Whatever, my dad probably won't make anything for dinner anyway!"
"Cool beans!" Ebony sprinted into the changing room then came back out with menus for Sakura and Ayame.
"You can sit here buds, I'll be right back."
"It's really weird with Ebony serving us don't you think Sakura?"
"Yeah I know last time it was Strawberry!"
"It's Ichigo" She shouted this from across the café as this name annoyed her.
"Like it makes a difference!" was Sakura's reply.
"Kish why did you come back so late last night? You went to see Ebony then you came back all jumpy!"
"Ebony thought it would be funny to play a trick on me!"
"Wait, you got owned by a girl?" Tart clutched at his stomach and burst out laughing.
"It's not funny, she's cunning okay!" Kish replayed last nights events at how Ebony had pretended she was asleep 'I really was so worried about her, she didn't even know' "Hey Tart, I know you want to see monkey girl and Pai wants to see the green one or that model I'm not even sure! But I want to see Ebony, so why don't we get some chimera and fight with them? We haven't had one in a while!"
"I do not want to see the monkey girl! But I will fight I haven't made a chimera in ages!"
"Pai!" Kish and Tart shouted at the same time to get Pai out of his nerd cave
"What now imbeciles?"
"Were going to fight the mews and we need you, so you coming?"
"Fine"
"Whoop!" Tart was on a sugar rush as he's just had a sweet Pudding gave him. One minute the aliens were in the space ship then they were gone.
"So Ayame what did you want?"
"Oh can I have… two fairy cakes please?"
"Can I have a chocolate sundae please?"
"Course you can." Ebony walked away from her friends and into the kitchen then placed the order on Keiichero's desk; he was too busy cooking to acknowledge her. On the way out she bumped into Shirogane.
"Tell the girls there's a big attack at the local shrine." (Not the Deep blue one!)
"Okay Shirogane." Ebony ran over to all the girls whispering in there ears then nodded to Shirogane to handle the rest.
"I'm sorry to all the customers but we have just sprung a leak and it's very hazardous as it's already gotten into some appliances, so please could you all evacuate we have to close early" After Ebony saying goodbye to her friends and telling them it's no big deal and they didn't need to help she hugged them and joined the others in the basement.
"You know Blondie, I just dream of the day there will actually be a leak!"
"Now's not the time Ebony, this is a big attack"
"Sor-ry for trying to bring a little humour into the situation! She noticed Pudding snickering "Thanks Pudding, see she gets it and she's only 11!"
"It's called being immature Ebony!"
"Why don't you go play in the traffic Mint!"
"All 3 aliens are at the shrine and I think they have a chimera animal each, so be very careful!"
"Whoa, Blondie you actually care for our safety this time!"
"I told you I care for you!"
"When was that actually?" Mint obviously wanted to start spreading some rumours round as she and Ebony hated each others guts; although they could get on sometimes. Ebony just signalled 'mind your own business' by tapping her nose with her finger.
"I'm just joking Shirogane!"
"Yeah take a chill pill! Na no da"
"Sweet Pudding! High fives!" Pudding and Ebony did a high five, for Ebony it was more of a low five.
"Tokyo mew mew. GO!" Shirogane pointed his to the lab door exit.
"Oh sweet potato, how pathetic is that and you could at least say please!" The other 5 girls had run out and Ebony was just stood there looking totally disgusted.
"Go now!"
"Okay, I'm going keep your pants on!"
"Well that's a new one." Keiichero had just come down form the kitchen.
"Thanks Keiichero!"
"Keiichero, tell her to go NOW! Lives are at stake"
"Yes, please hurry Ebony"
"Sure thing Keiichero!" Then Ebony ran out to join the others to the shrine.
"So why does she do it when you tell her?"
"It's all in the tone Ryou"
