Chapter 26

School Dance

"Night!" Ichigo called, waving to Ryou who was walking off to the cafe and Ichigo zoomed up to her room and crawled in bed.

The next week passed, the girls hanging out a bit late in the cafe to clean while Pudding and Mint glared at each other, nothing really eventful went on expect Izumi having a concert a while away, so that leaves us with today, the 25th. Ichigo didn't know what kind of dance it was, so she threw on a simple outfit. She had her hair in pigtails and threw herself into a longsleeve pink dress that went to the middle of her thighs. She had on ankle-high dark pink boots with a slight heel and put on some eyeliner. She walked downstairs to see the time was 7:20. "Ahh! I'm going to be late!" She whinned as she ran over to the door to grab her pink coat. "Bye mom! Bye dad! I'll be back later tonight! I'm going to hang out with my friends for a while!" She said before quickly leaving the house and running off. Everyone decided to meet at the cafe, since no one knew where Izumi's school was. She was so happy that the Cyniclons were gone, that she didn't have to worry about them anymore, and she felt kind of nervous to go to the dance. "I wonder if Ryou's going... I know he taught me how to dance, but still... I feel so nervous about it..." She whispered to herself as she turned the corner.

Once she got to the cafe, Mitsukie and Izumi were just running over. Izumi had convinced Mint, Pudding, and Zakuro to come too, so along with Lettuce, they were standing near the boys. Mint was wearing a dark blue dress with long sleeves and went to her knees and she had on matching blue shoes as well. Mint had her hair down, so she looked completely different. Lettuce was in a short sleeve light green dress that went past her knees. To match her dress, she had on green flats and her hair was pulled into her normal braids. Pudding wore a bright yellow, short sleeve dress that went to her knees. Her hair was down and she had her regular shoes on. Zakuro had her hair in a ponytail and wore a strapless, short purple dress with purple boots. (A/N: Also, I didn't put much thought into their outfit, so feel free to think of it however you like XD) Mitsukie had a black dress that went to the middle of her thighs with black gloves (Kinda like Ichigo's in Mew form, but black) that went to the middle of her forearm. The hem of her gloves and dress was a light orange. She had on knee high black socks and black boots that went to just under her knees, the line that seperates the top part of the shoe, and the sole, was a light orange as well. (Only cuz I thought orange and black looked cute together, no it's not halloween) Izumi was in a long sleeve white dress that went to her knees and had her bangs clipped to the side. She had on white, knee high socks and white boots like Mitsukie's. On the shoulder of her dress, there was a hint of light pink that faded to white. The skirt of her dress faded to a light blue. (A/N: /laughs at what I'm about to do but hopefully you won't get to mad at me\\) Keiichiro was just in a black, longsleeve shirt with black pants, not dressing too nicely. Ryou was in the same thing, only white. (Remember when Ryou taught her how to dance and Keiichiro was in a black suit and Ryou was in a white one ? Heh... Referencing back to that, but not suits! XD) All the girls had on eyeliner except Pudding, who didn't have any makeup on. Mitsukie ran over to Keiichiro and jumped into his arms, spinning around in his arms. Once she had her feet back on the ground, she smiled up at Keiichiro. "I'm so glad you're coming too, Keiichiro!" She giggled, holding his hands.

Izumi stopped when she got to the group and watched as Ichigo walked over to Ryou. "I didn't know you were coming too." She said, teasing him. "You're not much of a party person."

"I wasn't going to, but Keiichiro and Izumi made me, so don't get your hopes up, Strawberry." He chuckled, watching her puff out her cheeks and fold her arms.

Lettuce and Pudding were gossiping, Zakuro and Mint were calmly talking, and Izumi, Mitsukie, Ichigo, Keiichiro, and Ryou were talking about each other. "So, Ichigo, how long have you had a crush on him?" Izumi asked, pulling cat hair off the skirt of her dress.

"Wha?!" Ichigo looked at her friend with dark red cheeks. "W-well..."

Ryou chuckled at her and grabbed her hand. "A while." He said, answering her question for her. "Right?"

"Y-yeah... I guess..." Ichigo said, intertwining her fingers with his. "I'm so blind..." She whispered, not expecting anyone to hear her.

Mitsukie giggled and nodded. "Yeah, very!" She laughed, watching Ichigo blush even more.

Keiichiro and Ryou chuckled, watching the girls talk. "Hey!" Ichigo whinned.

Up ahead was a school with a line of kids, slowly making their way into the building. "Ugh, we have to wait in a huge line?" Mint asked, folding her arms.

"It won't take that long, at max, 5 minutes." Izumi said, stepping into the line.

It was somewhat dark and chilly, so kids had on their jackets and Ichigo stood close to Ryou. Mitsukie was nervous about the entire thing, now that she was here. The kid in front of them started talking to Izumi, leaving everyone else to talk alone. Not even 5 minutes later, they were inside and warm and they all had a bracelet with a ticket hooked to it. "I'm sure this'll be fun!" Pudding shouted, running off.

"I guess it wouldn't hurt to flirt." Mint giggled, walking off.

"Hmm.. This could be fun..." Zakuro sighed, walking off as well.

(A/N: I'm also throwing in some Izumi romance :3 I might throw in Pudding and Lettuce romace (can't say with who :P) and I'm debating on Mint and Zakuro... So if you like them, and they end up not having a date... I'm sorry D:) Ichigo and Ryou stood by the gym, where the dance was being held, and just stood in silence. Mitsukie dragged Kiiechiro into the gym with a smile. "Come on! I'm not much of a dancer, but I mean it's a dance, so we should make the most of it!" Mitsukie giggled.

There was a slow song playing, so Keiichiro pulled her close to him with a warm smile. "Then, I'll teach you." He said quietly, putting his hand on her back and holding her close while he held her other hand near their head, but towards the side more. Mitsukie couldn't help but smile as she put her free hand on his shoulder. The girls watched them with a smile as they danced together.

They stayed quiet as they slow danced, embracing each other. Once the song was over, they stood against the gym wall and decided to talk ."So, Keiichiro?" Mitsukie looked up at Keiichiro and started blushing at the question she had running in her mind. "U-um... I was just wondering if... Um... B-because you l-like me, I was wondering i-if we could..."

She wasn't able to finish her sentence before Keiichiro cut her off. He placed his hand on her cheek and pulled her into a kiss, making Mitsukie's eyes widden is shock for a moment before kissing him back. Keiichiro gently pushed his hand that was on her cheek to the back of her head and rested it there while his other hand kept her close to him. She had her arms wrapped around his neck. Kids who go to school there took pictures of them because they were so cute as a loving couple.

While Keiichiro and Mitsukie were talking, Ichigo and Ryou were left alone together while a couple kids pulled Izumi off to have some fun. "So, I've never been to a school dance before..." Ichigo said, putting her hand in Ryou's and interlocking their fingers together.

Ryou smirked at her and they decided they would wait to dance. "Well, then, lets just talk if you want to." He didn't really seem up for it, but when they started talking, he seemed to be so much nicer then he ever was. Even though it was mainly Ichigo complaining about school, Ryou suprisingly listened. After her rant, they continued to talk calmly for a bit. "Hey," he gently grabbed Ichigo's hand, "you... Wanna dance?" His question shocked Ichigo, since he seemed to be on something that made him nicer.

"Why are you being to nice? It's weird." Ichigo asked as she nodded to Ryou.

With a chuckle, Ryou pulled her to the dance floor and started dancing to a fast paced song. His aquamarine eyes gazed down into Ichigo's milky brown eyes as they danced. "You know I don't show my emotions," although Ryou's voice was quiet, Ichigo heard him very well. "and I guess you're the only one I willing show them to."

"Why not Keiichiro?" Ichigo asked. Ryou simply shurgged, like he didn't know. But it was his way of saying 'no specific reason' without saying anything. When they stopped dancing, Ichigo's cheeks were a light red. Ichigo looked up at Ryou and couldn't help herself. She brushed his hair out of his face and kept her hand cupped around Ryou's cheek. Ichigo stood on her tippy toes and gently pushed her lips onto Ryou's, kissing him passionately. The way Ichigo kissed him out of the blue made him blush slightly. He held her tightly and kissed her back passionately. Random kids took pictures of them since they were so cute together.

As Pudding ran around acting like her usual crazy self, she froze suddenly as she ran around the gym. "This would be so much more fun with Taru-Taru..." She whispered to herself, the figure of Taruto flashing through her mind. She secretly watched Mitsukie and Keiichiro dance and have fun and seeing this made her lonely. "Taru-Taru..." She whispered once more, hoping to find him somewhere here. With a lonely expression, she stepped outside and looked at the night sky.

She couldn't help but want to cry. "Hey, you look like you're about to cry!" A familiar voice ehoed in Pudding's head. "Are you really that sad to see me?"

"Taru-Taru!" Pudding yelled happily, going back to her childish way of calling Taruto's name. She jolted her head up as she yelled his name and saw Taruto standing in front of her. Although... Now, something seemed different. "Hey, Taru-Taru?" Taruto tilted his head. "What happened to your ears?" Pudding asked, poking at Taruto's human ears.

"Oh!" Taruto chuckled a little and put his hands on his hips. "Pai made this pill to make our ears look human-like!"

"So, where is Pai and Kisshu? Did they come to see the others?" Pudding wanted her friends to be happy, but... "But..." Pudding's eyes suddenly became filled with sadness. "...Ichigo like Shirogane and Kisshu likes Ichigo... Does Kisshu like someone else? Will he still be happy...?" The blondie couldn't help but feel bad for Kisshu.

Tauto pulled Pudding into a hug. "He still likes the old hag, but... I think he's happy that she's happy, even though he sure is majorly hurt on the inside, I think he's happy for her." He didn't really know what he was saying, he just let his emotions flow out. Something he almost never did around anyone since Killi and Seiko seemed to be much more stict about what he says. "But you shouldn't dwell on that tonight, Purin!" Taurto laughed happily as he ruffled Pudding's hair.

"P-Purin..." Pudding whispered quietly to herself, her eyes wide to her actual name.

"A-ahh... Should I not call you that? But that is your name, isn't it?" Taruto's actions made Pudding giggle.

"It's fine!" She smiled, grabbing Taruto's hand. "No one really calls me Purin, they always call me Pudding... I guess they don't understand me when I say my own name." She puffed out her cheeks and folded her arms. "Taru-Taru, lets hang out for the rest of the night!"

With a happy nod, the two started to watch the stars. They pointed out constallations, but it was mainly Taruto pointing them out. "It's so annoying listening to Killi and Seiko argue all the time..." He said, breaking the silence the between the two. "It feels nice to be here with someone who doesn't start arguments all the time." He chuckled, stealing a glance at Pudding.

"They argue all the time?" Pudding asked, looking over at Taruto.

"Yeah, they're like sisters with how much they argue!" His light and soft chuckle made Puddin's heart beat faster. Her cheeks started to heat up, catching Taruto's attention. "Ah, are you sick? Are you ok?" He asked, panicking at her redding cheeks.

"Taru-Taru..." She whispered as she placed her hand ontop of Taruto's, making him stop what he was doing and stare at Pudding. "...Taru-Taru... It's been so long since you came back... I missed you so much!" She pushed Taruto backwards as she jumped into his arms. As Taruto hit the ground, he felt a pair of soft lips push against his lips. His visions was covered in Pudding's closed eyes close to Taruto's face. Taruto's eyes closed slowly as he kissed her back, pulling her body close to Taruto. The older kids didn't know them, but they had to take pictures just because they were adorable.

Lettuce was walking around, looking for someone. "I doubt he's going to be here..." Lettuce whispered to herself. She had conacts in because she thought glasses would only make her less cute in case she did run into him. She saw plenty guys with purple hair, but none of them ended up being him. She felt so lonely, like he didn't care about her anymore. She stepped outside and sat down on a nearby bench, looking into her hands. "Why am I so... Dissapointed that he wasn't here? I mean if he was here... That would mean he would be stalking me..." Her voice shook as she spoke and tears threatened to fall from her eyes.

"Lettuce." His voice made her shoot her head up to where he was standing. "If you don't mind, I blame Kisshu for us stalking you." He said, trying to make her laugh.

"Pai!" Lettuce sprung up from her seat and jumped into Pai's arms. "Pai! You're really here!"

Pai stumbled backwards, but it didn't stop him from smiling slightly and holding Lettuce close to him. "You're much more beautiful when you smile." He whispered, feeling like his normal self once more since being away from Killi. Lettuce looked up at Pai, her green eyes full of happiness and joy.

She blinked away tears as she stared into Pai's greyish eyes. "I missed you, Pai. You should have come back. Before Killi and the others..."

"I wish I could have..." Pai continued to smile as he spoke. But that smile faded as his next sentence finished. "I wasn't able to, Taruto, Kisshu, and I wanted to see you girls again, but we couldn't even get the Mew Aqua back home... Killi and the others made sure of that..."

"Pai..." Lettuce grabbed his hand. "If you, Taruto, and Kisshu can get home safely, we have enough Mew Aqua to give you. Over the last... 5 years we gathered up some." Her voice seemed to calm Pai down and he smiled slightly again.

They sat down on the bench Lettuce was just sitting on and held hands. They changed the subject to something more calmer and started talking about the dance. The moon shined down on Pai and Lettuce, making their figure even more beautiful to each other. "Lettuce..." Pai turned toward Lettuce and placed his hand on her cheek. "It's not like me to say this... But I..." Lettuce's cheeks started to turn a bright red as Pai's face got closer to hers. "...I love you..." He whispered once his lips were almost touching hers. Their lips pushed together as they embraced each other. For someone who doesn't show much emotion, like ever, Lettuce was quite happy that Pai said that he loved her. Lettuce hand her arms wrapped around Pai's neck and he had one hand on her cheek while the other hand lied on her back, holding her close to him. Students would 'awwwe' them and take a few pictures, but they didn't mind. They were happy.
