Chapter 3 is complete! Thanks for the reviews KonekoLover and Sun Wukongoku.
Ikuto: *Snores*
AnimeKoneko: *Sweatdrops* Why is Ikuto sleeping?
Ichigo: You know cats. They have to get their mid-morning nap. Which reminds me . . . *Curls up into a ball*
AnimeKoneko: Looks like I'll be introducing this chapter alone. What a pain . . .
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN SHUGO CHARA OR TOKYO MEW MEW! ENJOY!
Ichigo sighed with relief and plopped down onto her bed, exhausted.
What a day!
She thought back to the strange black creature that had appeared out of nowhere.
Weird. . . I've never seen anything like that before.
Her eyes narrowed when a picture of the cat boy flashed into her mind.
He did transform, so maybe he isn't the one that had created that thing.
She sat upright.
He might know what it is. After all, he did arrive when that threat appeared as well. He might have known its presence.
Ichigo lowered her gaze, feeling guilty when she remembered her unlady-like behaviour.
I don't know what came over me.
But her eyes turned dark when she thought about the way HE had treated her. He was very arrogant, thinking he can do whatever he likes. Ikuto's daring statement repeated itself in her head.
FLASHBACK:
Ikuto lowered his head to look her straight in the eye.
"But I bet you enjoyed every second of it . . ."
PRESENT TIME:
Ichigo just looked down at the ground, her gaze unwavering. She realized that what he had said might be the truth. The pink-haired girl gave a dramatic sigh and fell back down again, curling into a ball.
He was very handsome, but . . . I had vowed to ignore boys . . .
She shut her eyes tightly.
Even handsome ones. He might just be another fake.
Ichigo didn't ponder the situation any longer when her eyelids started to get heavy and she slowly closed them, surrendering to sleep.
IKUTO'S POV:
What's she doing?
Ikuto sat in a tree, looking through Ichigo's balcony door. He had followed the cat girl to her house, wanting to know where she lived, but when he got there, he decided to spy on her, wanting to know what another feline's life is like. (AnimeKoneko: Stalker! XD)
The lynx boy stared at her with a raised eyebrow. It looked as if she was having a mental argument with herself. Falling down on her bed twice, looking down as if the world around her was going to end soon. I wonder what's going through her mind. (If only you knew, Ikuto.)
He looked up at the sky instead, glimpsing every beautiful star. It was a wonderful night and being a cat, Ikuto loved being outside on such nights.
He stood up on the branch when he realized that she had fallen asleep. Although he wasn't quite sure if she was in dreamland, Ikuto still seized the chance and jumped down from the tree onto the ledge of the balcony. Yoru floated next to him, looking worried.
"What are you doing-nya? What if you get caught?"
Ikuto didn't answer. He jumped down from the ledge and slowly approached the door, placing his hand on the handle. Yoru's eyes widened.
"Ikuto! That's a bad idea-nya!"
But the lynx boy ignored him and pulled the door, silently praying for it to be unlocked. He smiled when the door slid to the left, allowing him access. Yoru started pulling his clothes, wanting to stop him from entering Ichigo's room. He groaned from the effort, but of course it was no use. Ikuto walked in, easily shaking Yoru off.
The cat chara followed him rather reluctantly, whispering warnings now and then. Ikuto walked closer to Ichigo, his cat ears twitching nervously. Although his footsteps were light, Ikuto still felt like a perpetrator, invading someone's privacy. The lynx boy lowered his head, his face only inches away from Ichigo's.
He took a deep breath, drawing in her scent. Ikuto's cat ears twitched again excitedly when he instantly recognized her feline scent.
Amazing! She is a cat all the time, not just when she transforms. It's in her blood; her genes.
His eyes started to sparkle when he looked at her. There, in front of his own eyes, was someone just like him. He knew it sounded silly, but for some reason he really wanted to get to know this pink-headed girl better.
Pink-headed . . . Amu . . . No . . . Ichigo . . .
Ikuto sighed when he thought about Amu again. She was the first girl that had reached him, that had made him forget all his worries. She was the light at the end of a dark tunnel; a tunnel filled with despair.
But alas, he knew that they couldn't be together. She was much younger . . . and besides . . . there was already someone else that had caught her attention . . . and it definitely wasn't him.
Ikuto lifted his hand, allowing it to hover over the sleeping cat girl's head. He cautiously started lowering it causing Yoru to jump and cling on his hand from before. The little lynx chara looked at him earnestly.
"Ikuto, we should go."
Ikuto's eyes widened and he pulled his hand back, not looking Yoru in the eye. He just wanted to touch her before he left, wanted to know how her hair felt, what she does in her free time, her life story . . .
The lynx boy looked down at the sleeping figure, a smile started forming.
And I will find out everything about you, Ichigo. I will make you . . . . . .
fall in love with me!
Ikuto's gaze hardened.
Yes! I will make you fall in love with me. Nothing will ever separate us. I just have a feeling that this is how things are meant to be.
He lightly pushed Yoru out of the way, carefully grabbed Ichigo's hair with his one hand and lowered his head, planting a soft kiss on her forehead. After looking at her for just a moment longer, Ikuto spun around and walked to the balcony, not regretting his actions or thoughts one bit. Yoru followed him with huge eyes, not understanding what had just happened.
His master had just kissed a girl and he didn't even know her that well. The chara looked at him more closely and noticed an obsessed look in Ikuto's eyes.
What's wrong with him-nya! He's not usely like this.
Ikuto placed one foot on the ledge, turning around once more to stare at her through the open door.
Ichigo Momomiya . . . you are mine.
With that thought still echoing in his mind, Ikuto jumped over the edge and disappeared into the shadows.
AnimeKoneko: Finished! How was it? Did you like it? Let me know if it was too short. *Looks down at the sleeping cats* Looks like these two are still asleep.
Ikuto: *Snore*
Ichigo: *Snore*
AnimeKoneko: Well, they're in for a surprise once they finally wake up, especially Ichigo. *Evil grin* Wow! I just had a Tadase moment. Haha! Please send reviews!
AnimeKoneko Out!
