"WHAT! How long have you known?" Ebony was stood there looking really shocked and slightly confused at the blonde stood on the stairs.

"You have to hit it in a certain place 6 times, although I'm not sure exactly what place yet."

"Then how did you figure it out Shirogane Na no da!" Pudding had now somersaulted off of her ball and stopped to listen.

"5 hours on the computer and a whole lot of hacking!"

"That classifies you as a criminal Blondie!" Shirogane just made a 'feh' noise and crossed his arms.

"Well I'm going to go and try to find out now, so I probably won't see you for a few days" Shirogane started to walk back down to the 'bear cave'.

"YES! YEAH, WOOP, HAHA! NO SHIROGANE FOR A WHOLE FEW DAYS!" Ebony had her arms in the air and she was jumping up and down uncontrollably, she only stopped when she realised she was getting weird looks from the others. "Forgive me for having some fun!" Ebony then walked into the kitchen mumbling something about scissors and sleeping drugs and went to ask Keiichero for some cake.

"Don't even want to know guys" Ichigo just went to get her bag, as did the others girls so they could go home.

"Hey! Ebony we're going home, you coming? Hurry up!" Mint shouted to the kitchen, really she didn't know why she was bothered because she could just go home in her limo.

"Um, I'm going to stay 'ere!" Mint just shook her head disapprovingly, knowing that Ebony was shouting to them with her mouth full of cake. However she waved it off and all 5 girls walked out the door.

"Slow down there Ebony, you don't want indigestion" Keiichero said this politely; as always, whilst cleaning some plates.

"Nah, don't worry about me I got the stomach of a… a… a person with a good stomach" She laughed, putting her hand to the back of her head and grinning, Keiichero just smiled.

"Weren't you going to leave with the other girls?" She just shook her head 'no' and then jumped of from the counter she was sitting on.

"I think I'll go torture- I mean find pretty boy, and before you start asking I promise I won't disturb him" Before he could reply Ebony was down the stairs and in the lab. 'How does he not get bad eye-sight in this dark room and the brightness of those screens…?' Ebony walked up behind Ryou's big black computer chair and looked over the top, only to see him with his eyes closed. 'He's not seriously sleeping is he? Well I guess he's been working uber hard lately, I got to give him credit. But then again he did eavesdrop on me and I'm getting my own back, come to think of it now would be the perfect chance! Also I have got to stop talking to myself in my head it gets kind of creepy' Ebony slowly turned the chair around so Shirogane was facing her and she crouched down to his height on the chair. 'Awww he looks sort of well… sweet when he sleeps' she found herself smiling and shook the thought out at once. Then she pulled out… the scissors and sleeping drugs. 'Guess I won't need these, he's out cold already' she tossed the pills into a random dustbin at the back of the room, then took the scissors in her hand. Then smiling like a mad scientist she started to cut different chunks out of his hair and when she was finally done, she stood back to admire her work. 'Well I'm no artist, but I'm THE greatest prankster' she didn't fancy waiting for him to wake up and so she threw the scissors in the same bin on her way out and ran up the stairs to Keiichero.

"Hi" She flew past him grabbed her bag and ran out the door but not before shouting "Bye" then she flew down the path of the café only to hear her name being shouted by a particular blonde guy.

"EBONYYYYYY!" 'Oh pretty boy's awake, well I guess he's not so pretty now, but man did he look in the mirror quick is it like the first thing he does when he wakes up?' When she turned to the street to get to her road she went the different way, she didn't feel like going home yet she was still buzzing from the prank and silently laughing and smiling to herself. 'That's what you get when you mess with the Ebmiester… is that even a word? Nah don't fancy that as a nickname, here I go again talking to myself.' She just shook her head 'Oh maybe I'll go past Ichigo's house!' Ebony only just noticed but there was a tonne of alleyways down her street, she couldn't help but look down them, she only took a quick glance at the occupied ones, she didn't want to run into a thug.

Ichigo was on her way home from work and walking down the street that lead to her house; she always took ages to walk and was going pretty slowly. She stopped when she heard a gentle 'meow' from down one of the many alleyways. 'Huh? A cat?'

Ichigo looked down the alley and was happy to see there weren't any shady figures down this one. She heard the meow again and found the owner of it. It was a beautiful long haired Siamese cat with bright blue eyes and creamy brown fur.

"Hey kitty, come here come on I won't hurt you" It must have been her cat DNA because the cat came straight to her, she bent down to stroke it for a while. She immediately stopped and turned around as soon as she heard footsteps. 'Thank heaven I have cat reflexes'

"Nya" Ichigo turned around to a green blur and only to find it kissing her. 'What! Is that Kish? It is wait why is Kish kissing me?' She couldn't help it, it was like Kish had a magic effect on her and she couldn't pull away instead she put her arms around his neck and Kish put his around her waist.

'Huh? A cat, Awww it's probably cute I'm going to go see it! Besides my day can only get better' Ebony made her way down the alley as she had heard a cat meow, she was also pleased when she saw no thugs, and even if she did she could probably take them. She didn't do 4 years of karate class for nothing! Ebony was intrigued when she thought she heard something life shuffling and was that… groaning. 'Haha some couple are making out in this alley, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to look besides they wouldn't see me or hear me, unless they have a freaky hearing range!' Ebony walked to the back of the alley and turned her head to look around the corner. 'Is that red? What if it was Ichigo? That would so be going on my blog!' She saw the girls head fine but as her eyes adjusted to the dark of the alley she could make out the boy as well. 'Wait… green hair' she shuffled a little bit more round the corner but accidently dripped over on a dustbin bag that had been cut open and stank. 'Man how do foxes rummage through these things?' But she didn't think for much longer because apparently the couple were far to engrossed with the kiss. But Ebony's face dropped from laughter to instant shock with her eyes wide, mouth open and she began to shake uncontrollably, tears harshly falling from her eyes in litres. Ebony wanted to move she couldn't stay and watch Ichigo making out with Kish for a second longer, but the thing was, her legs just wouldn't work when they finally did she fell to the ground. She made a grunting noise as she fell, finally getting the attention of Ichigo and Kish. They looked straight to the source of the noise only to see Ebony knelt on the floor shaking and sobbing.

"K…Kish, ho…how could y…you" Kish heard her murmur, he didn't realise what she was saying until he noticed the red head beside him. 'Shit' He instantly realised what he had done. Ichigo turned to Kish with a slightly shocked impression; she then ran out the alley covering her red face murmuring thing like 'Crap, what just happened, oh my god, I'm so sorry Ebony'

"Ebony, I swear on my life that this isn't what it looks li-."

"No of course it's not Kish" Ebony was over the shocked stage now and was standing up, still crying but full of anger, she winced slightly as her heart wrenched and felt empty. "I know exactly what that looked like! I knew it was too good to be true! I can't have one good thing in my life can I? Do you know I can't believe how stupid I've been? I should have realised you weren't over Ichigo, you never forget who you've loved. I was just a more sarcastic replacement right, or something to make her jealous? Looked like it worked huh? You were really going for it then. I'm sorry I wasted your time." Ebony wiped her face and turned to walk out of the alley. Kish was too shocked to say anything or even move. 'What did I do that for? Maybe she's right, maybe I'm not over Ichigo and I'm using her as a replacement. It was so sudden I had no idea why I was doing it. I just saw Ichigo on her own in this alley and went for it. Was it out of habit, or do I really still like her?' Then Kish thought again. 'No! No! How could I say that? I'm tired of Ichigo always turning me down! I'm over her, I love Ebony and she loves me back… or she did. She never turned me down. I've got to find her.' By the time Kish had finished thinking Ebony was already half way down the street running with tears in her eyes blurring her vision. She didn't know where she was going but she didn't care. People were staring at her, she didn't care. She didn't care about anything. 'Ichigo, I thought you were my best friend. I won't blame you though; Kish probably caught you by surprise and held you there or something. But Kish, he doesn't need an excuse he's just a baka, hentai womanizer. Why can't he make up his mind he's breaking my heart.' Ebony slowed down and started to walk when she came to a clearing. Then she jumped over a bush and sat in the middle of a random, grassy field. She hugged her knees to her chest and rested the side of her head on her thigh, looking towards the other fields. The flowers were so beautiful, she almost forgot about the whole idea for a few minutes; almost. Then Ebony did something that she didn't do very often; well not in public anyway, she began to sing it was only quietly of course and it was mostly mumbles

"Why do I keep running from the truth, all I ever think about is you, you got me hypnotized, so mesmerised and I just got to know. Do you ever think when we're all alone, all that we could be where this thing could go? Am I crazy or falling in love is it really just another crush? Do you catch your breath when I look at you? Are you holding back like the way do? 'Cos I try and try to walk away but I know this crush 'aint going away, awayyyy"

"That was lovely cutie!" Kish was crouched down in front of her smiling. Luckily the bush she jumped over was quite high so no public would be able to see if she 'accidently' killed him.

"Yeah… lovely because it explains us perfectly you mean! I don't want to hear it. You've made up your mind and I don't want to hear the answer, even if it is me. I can't handle your little perverted games anymore; I used to find them funny now there just immature. Ichigo doesn't want you either! So now you've lost both of us!" Ebony stayed looking at the field while she spoke to Kish. What Ebony said had suddenly annoyed Kish and out of the blue he said something he really wished he didn't.

"Oh, if Ichigo doesn't want me then why did she put her arms around my neck and not pull away?" At this Ebony's head jerked up and she turned to Kish, her eyes dull and puffy.

"You're lying…" She said softly and then put her head back on her knees. Kish came and sat next to her, when he went to put his arm around her she smacked it away and shot him a glare, then returning back to the comfort of her lap.

"I'm sorry Ebony, I'm not lying"

"Kish you've already managed to break most of my heart, don't force me to lose my best friend to, I couldn't live if that happened." 'I can't be with Kish anymore, but look on the Brightside you don't have to worry about getting caught or anything.' Suddenly Ebony couldn't take the silence anymore, so she stood up dusted off her shorts and started to walk away, only to stop when she felt a tug on her wrist. Kish was shocked to see what she looked like when she turned to face him. Her bangs were covering her eyes so he could only see a shadow, then she looked up and began to smile then laughed a little.

"You know the whole things pretty hilarious if you think about it. You went so far to get me believing you that you saved my life from falling off that cliff. Bet you planned it after all huh? Just earlier we were claiming we were 'in love' I don't think I even know the meaning to that word anymore. So Kish just LET GO!" She tugged her wrist away from him and he gradually released his grip. He could only stand and watch as she walked away from him; his Ebony leaving him because of his own stupid mistake.

"I didn't save your life to make you believe me, I saved your life because… I love you Ebony!" Kish was surprised to find that Ebony didn't turn around; she did hear because she hadn't got that far away from him. Instead she simply lifted up her right hand and waved, then she turned around and simply said "Yeah Kish you 'love' me. In that case I 'love' you too!" Her voice was full of venom and it wasn't her normal comedic sarcasm, it was harsh. 'What's happened to my hyper, caring Ebony? Wait did I just call her MY Ebony. Yeah that's right she's mine, nobody else is having her. First I just need her to have me' Kish teleported back to his room. He'd done too much today and he was super confused. One minute they were kissing and having fun and now it's like they were never even friends, Kish felt weird, in fact it was the exact same feeling he got when Ichigo rejected him.

"Honey, why are you home so late, what happened? Have you been crying?" Ebony just nodded and grabbed her mum into an embrace. They stood like that for a few minutes; her mum stroking her hair and telling her everything was okay.

"You don't have to tell me sweetie. Just go take a shower and then sleep, if you're hungry there's some left-over's in the fridge"

"Thanks, you're actually the best parent in THE world!" Ebony wiped her tears on her top and ran upstairs and into the bathroom. She wasn't going to take a shower; she wanted a long hot bath to think over the day. She submerged herself into the water and held her breath for a few seconds before sitting back up. 'I can't lose Ichigo as a friend, it was probably one big misunderstanding and I'm blowing it way out of proportion, but I can't undo what I've done now, plus I've been told I can be a bit over-dramatic. I don't blame Ichigo for not pulling back though; he's a flipping good kisser.' Ebony finished up then got into her bed. She didn't feel like eating tonight, in fact she realised she hadn't eaten all day. 'I'll have a huge breakfast tomorrow, I fancy me some good home-cooking!' She actually laughed sincerely which she hadn't done for a while, then she let slumber overcome her.

He was running his fingers through her hair again and couldn't help but smile at her, stirring in her sleep. Once again he had done the thing he was best at and that was sneaking into her room whilst she was sleeping. Since he wouldn't see her as much in the day now he might as well salvage what he can get at night. 'Should I? No I shouldn't what if she wakes up?' Kish couldn't help it; he was staring at her skin and stroking her smooth cheek. In the end he couldn't fight it and kissed her lips, he held it for a few seconds while he got that weird tingling sensation he always felt when he kissed her; then when she stirred he let go and teleported out of her room. 'That damn Kish, he doesn't give up does he? Thinking he can kiss both of us and get away with it?' The truth was she woke up when Kish was stroking her cheek, his hand was cold and it disturbed her sleep, when she saw it was him she really couldn't be bothered and closed her eyes tight. She had to contain herself when she got that weird tingling sensation she always seemed to get and then when he finally left she went to sleep again; properly. The next time she woke up she was happy to see the sun had come up and she didn't have any interruptions from the Martian.

"School Eb, unless you don't feel like going you can stay in bed and I'll say your sick?" Just as she had got out of bed and composed herself her mum had appeared at the door.

"No thanks, I'm fine I'm not going to miss school just because of some boy!"

"Oh so it was a boy? They always play with your heart right? I've been through it many times, until-"

"You met dad, yes I've heard that story many times!" Ebony and her mum laughed and at least her mum was happy to just see her smile.

"Well since your going… hurry up you're going to be late!" Ebony was confused and looked around her room, till her cerulean eyes stopped on her clock.

"Crud, you could've told me! Quick where's my uniform, where is it? Hello, help your child! What kind of parent are you!" Ebony's mum now had her whole body around the door and her uniform was already in her hand washed and ironed. 'Damn how do your parents always do that?'

"Arigato!"

"Don't snatch! How old are you dear, 10?"

"Gomen, now can you leave I have to change!" Ebony had now run over to her door and was trying to push her annoying mom out the door. Just as she shut it she heard her mum say "It's nothing I haven't seen before" through the door which made Ebony flash a hundred colours of red. When she was done and sat in front of her mirror she couldn't decide what to do with herself 'Well since I'm done with Kish it's a new start, how about I clip it up? Or maybe I should get it cut at the weekend? Something like that?' In the end because she was running out of time she had decided on a messy bun with a white flower hair band holding her bangs off her face. She ran her fingers through the two long strands dangling down the sides of her face 'I can NEVER get those bits up!'

'Na na na na na na na na na na BATMAN! Now he's a cool super hero! Why am I even singing that? Oh I know Ebony maybe because you're running to school because your baka parent kept you busy and made you late!' Ebony slowed down when she got to the corner of the school gates and she straightened herself out and slowed herself then entered the gates to her school. She began to approach Ayame and Sakura only to see Ichigo with them. She heard Ichigo quickly say

"Crap she's going to be so mad at me, I'm going!" Then she saw her quickly turn around and start to walk off.

"Ohayou! See you guys in 3rd lesson, I have to sort something out with Ichigo!"

"Okay, but we're glad to see you! Make sure you hang out with us more!" Sakura Ayame shouted as Ebony walked past them.

"Ichigo, wait up! Please Ichigo; I'm not mad I promise!" At this Ichigo turned around to see Ebony red faced and out of breath from chasing her around the school. "Phew, we're not all cats you know! Slow down would 'ya! Panda's aren't known to be the fastest creatures in the world"

"Are you sure you're okay? I did a terrible, terrible thing and I'm so sorry it never should have happened! I'm so worried what if Masaya thinks' I'm a who-."

"Whoa there cow-girl, I promise I won't tell him because I want to make him suffer like that teme tree-hugger baka he is, but that's just me! Yeah I'm sure I'm okay with it because… me and Kish, well we're…" Tears threatened to slide down her cheeks any minute, so she wiped them away. "No I promise not to cry over him anymore! Me and Kish are through Ichigo, so it's fine, but lets to get to our lesson right?" She gave a fox like grin and grabbed Ichigo's hand to yank her down the corridor. 'No way, I'm losing one of my closest friends; we're going to be there for each other mew or non-mew!'She smiled once more at Ichigo and was happy when she returned it.

"Oh…my… this is TOO good! I knew I did a rubbish job, but this…whoa it looks even better in the light!" Ebony was clutching her stomach and panting uncontrollably, not forgetting she was lying on the floor. "You didn't even…. Shave the rest off! Hahahaha! Score one for the master!" Ryou was stood with a very cross look on his face and his arms crossed, his hair was still the same as when Ebony had cut it the other day.

"Yeah well it will grow back quicker if I leave it this length, won't it?" By now Ebony had composed herself and was staring at Ryou. 'I actually kind of feel bad now; maybe I was just doing that because I was so happy about me and Kish. Wow I really upset him' Now Ebony did something that surprised everyone present in the café witnessing this, she even surprised herself. She walked up to Ryou and placed one of her hands on Ryou's crossed ones.

"I'm sorry Shirogane, I shouldn't have done that it was really cruel. I would have probably bitten your head off if you did something like that to me! Wait here I'll be right back, oh and Pudding come with me cutie!" (A/N: She loves her like a little sister) Pudding nodded and followed Ebony up the stairs of the café.

"Um Ebony you're not allowed up there… oh why I bother" Keiichero had tried to stop her but by the time she was at the top of the stairs he didn't bother.

"Now do you know where Blondie's room is?"

"Uh yeah Pudding knows Na no da!" Pudding grabbed Ebony's hand and pulled her to the second door in the corridor. 'Well this is bland! Hmmm now I need something to cover his head. What about a bandana, no a hat'

"Hey Pudding, would Ryou wear this?"

"Well if it was in his wardrobe don't you think he would wear it?"

"Good point, you know you're younger than me and you're probably already smarter!" Pudding just nodded and they ran back to Ryou and the others, they looked worried when Ebony had a huge smirk.

"What, what have you done? Don't come near me Ebony I swear, if you do!"

"Relax Shirogane; I just thought you could wear this! It'll cover up the hair" She pulled out a black fedora hat from her back.

"I didn't even know I had that."

"No, I know you didn't, come here I'll put it on you and make you look bang tidy" (A/N: Random word I use to mean it will make you look good XD)She walked towards Ryou only to see he had a nervous face on. When she approached him she stood on her tip-toes and whispered 'don't worry I just owe you big time! But embrace this moment because this is probably the last nice thing I'm going to do for you' when she removed her hand they were both smiling.

"Hey don't you think they look kind of good together?" Ichigo whispered to Mint, she looked slightly puzzled, but when she looked at Ebony and Ryou she saw what she meant.

"Yeah, they do your right… for once. But she's going out with Kish so that couldn't happen." Mint was confused when she saw the look on Ichigo's face.

"Well there not anymore, it's along story you should probably let her tell you"

"There, that covers it up and I was right you look a lot better!" Shirogane now had the hat on and Ebony had put it so that it was slightly tilted to the back, it really matched with his black and white café uniform.

"Arigato, but you should probably start working now"

"Uh, way to kill the mood, never mind" Ebony turned around and headed to the changing room all the girls had gotten changed because she was originally late but Ryou had forgotten now. Keiichero noticed there was a bit more of a sparkle in Ryou's eyes all he did was quietly say to Ryou

"Maybe" but Ryou just shook his head

"No, she's in love with that stupid alien Keiichero you know that"

"True, but I better get cooking, there's a huge queue outside. Girls get ready to open up!" Ryou smirked as he heard a chorus of 'Ah Keiicherooooo' and 'why noooowww?' he even laughed a little bit when he heard a louder voice form the changing room 'forget now, why me?'
