Hi. I am back with chapter 20. I hope you enjoy it.
'No! Stop!' Ichigo yelled pushing Aoyama away. Ichigo placed both of her hands in her mouth, her face was dark red.
'I am sorry, I…' Aoyama started angry at himself for kissing her so suddenly.
'No,' Ichigo thought, 'this can't be happening.'
'I am sorry but I…I…Please go,' Ichigo said.
'What?' Aoyama asked confused, 'I came such a long way to see you and you are telling me to go?'
It was true. He had come to see her. And she felt horrible for telling him to go like that, but she can't let him stay any longer. Not after he had kissed her. She loved Kisshu now and she didn't have any feelings for anyone else. Including Aoyama.
'Ichigo, what's wrong?' Aoyama asked giving one of his smiles.
'Please go,' Ichigo said trying to sound polite.
'I came here to talk to you about something,' Aoyama said.
'What is it?' Ichigo asked.
'I know we broke up a long time ago,' Aoyama said, 'but I was wandering if we could…start again. You see, I realised that I still liked you and…and…'
'Stop it!' Ichigo screamed.
Why was this happening to her? Why now? When she has already fallen in love with someone else. When she has fallen in love with Kisshu. She didn't want to hurt him and she wasn't so to be able to hurt someone else like Aoyama.
'Get out! Just…Get out!' Ichigo said in tears.
Aoyama looked at her shocked. He was expecting something like this to happen. It has been a whole year, which was more than enough time for her to move on. For her to move on to someone else. He felt stupid for coming here hoping she still had feelings from him.
'I am sorry, Ichigo,' he whispered, 'but I love you…I came back to tell you that and I…'
'I am sorry but please leave. Please!' Ichigo demanded, telling him to go. Aoyama looked at her, he looked hurt but Ichigo was crying too much to notice.
'Alright, I will leave. See you soon, Ichigo.'
And before Ichigo could say anything or think of what to say or do, Aoyama was gone.
Ichigo sat in her bed, her heart beating fast. This couldn't be happening. Why did he have to kiss her? She was so happy that Aoyama came to visit her; she missed him a little because she hadn't seen him for a long time. But she only saw him as a friend. She had Kisshu now.
Ichigo took a deep breath and decided to forget everything that has just happened. So she got on with whatever she was doing. But no matter how much she tried to forget, the memory of Aoyama kissing her just kept springing back. This wasn't going to be good. What if he came back? What if Kisshu finds out that her is here and tries to hurt him? Then both of them will start a fight and she didn't want anyone to get hurt.
What if Kisshu finds out Aoyama kissed her? That will instantly turn him crazy and God knows what that alien would do when he gets mad at something. Ichigo thought and thought, and she couldn't stop worrying so she decided to tell this to her friends, maybe they could give her some sort of advice or something. But everyone was so busy, she didn't want to be a pain in the neck and disturb them. What can she do?
Ichigo decided that nothing bad can happen, so she decided to stop worrying and go downstairs to watch some TV, that should get all of this out of her mind. She went downstairs and got a glass of water from the kitchen and then she put the TV on. Unfortunately, there was nothing interesting going on. Ichigo took the remote and flicked through channels and there was nothing that Ichigo felt like watching.
So instead she went back upstairs and decided to lay down in her bed and have a nap. She was tired and maybe if she got some rest, it would clear up her mind a little bit.
'He has been stuck in his room all this time,' said Taruto worried.
'I know,' Pie said not talking his eyes off the book he was reading.
'Let's talk to him.'
'I don't think he wants us to talk to him,' Pie sighed finally closing his book.
It was true, when Kisshu was in such a state, he gets mad easily. In fact, he gets mad at everything. So if Pie and Taruto went to his room all they would manage to do was to make him even more mad than he already was. And that was one of the last things they would want to do. But they went there anyway, to check up on him.
Pie knocked on his door again. There was no answer.
'Don't bother,' Taruto mumbled.
Pie waited a few more seconds before opening the door. Taruto and Pie gasped. Kisshu was sitting on the floor and his whole room was a mess. Bits of broken glass were scattered in the floor and his cut in his hand was dripping blood.
'Kisshu? What have you done?' Taruto asked coming over to him.
Kisshu didn't say anything. He just sat there expressionless. He didn't move an inch. His eyes didn't blink, his mouth didn't move.
'Kisshu! Snap out of it!' Taruto yelled, 'And how did you get that cut?'
'Why is she doing this to me?' Kisshu screamed.
'We can't help you if you don't tell what's wrong,' Pie gave another sigh.
'You won't be able to help me, no one can!'
'Just tell us what happened,' Taruto said sitting down next to Kisshu.
'Why did she tell me she loved me if she was with someone else? I never forced her to do anything! I never told her to do anything! I just asked her if we could be friends and then why did she have to tell me she loves me if she was going to do this?'
'I still don't get you…' Pie was confused.
'Ichigo cheated on me? Ok? She cheated on me!' Kisshu screamed and before he knew it he was crying. He couldn't control the anger and he couldn't the tears either. He hardly ever cries. His brothers aren't used to see him crying like that.
'So…What do you want to do?' Taruto asked.
Pie was speechless. He had a feeling that was what it happened, 'Why don't you go and talk to her?' he asked, 'I told you not to fall in love with that human, I don't even know what you see in her,' he said as leaving the room, 'But since you can cry for her you should clear things out with her,' he added before leaving the room.
'Yeah, it's true that the humans gave us the Mew Aqua but they are still…Humans,' Taruto said.
Kisshu sat there without moving, what was the point in talking to Ichigo? There was no point. She still liked Aoyama and that's why she kissed him.
'You should know why he she did that though,' Taruto said reading Kisshu's thoughts.
'Why would she do that?' Kisshu whispered.
'You know humans. They are all the same. Either that or there is some sort of misunderstanding.'
'There is no misunderstanding, I saw it with my own eyes.'
'What did you see?'
'She was kissing another guy. I don't get it.'
'Who was it?'
Kisshu was quiet for a moment. Him. It was always him. Back in his planet, he tried to like him. He tried to not hate him, just because Ichigo was head over heels for him. He tried to think that maybe that guy could make her happy. Make her happier than he could. Deep inside, he didn't think that at all but since things weren't working out he played along with it.
'Aoyama,' Kisshu whispered.
'What? That guy?' Taruto asked surprised, 'I haven't seen him for a while.'
Kisshu stayed quiet. She told him they broke up a year ago and she wasn't planning to make up with him. Now they were nothing more than friends. Friends.
'Listen, Kisshu. Talk to her or something.'
'I don't want to talk to her. She can stay with that treehugger if she wants to,' but deep down Kisshu couldn't imagine himself without Ichigo.
'Come on Kisshu! You two are like…like…Romeo and Juliet!' Taruto grinned, 'Well, sure, they die in the end but you know what I mean.'
A few minutes later Pie came in the room, 'I want this room to be spotlessly clean, and if I find any bits of glass in the floor, I won't be happy,' he warned before leaving the room again.
'What do you want to do?'
'I will go and give her a visit. I will clean the room when I come back,' he said.
Taruto nodded, 'Ok then.'
Kisshu stood up and teleported to Ichigo's room. She wasn't there and the house was quiet. It must mean that Ichigo's parents aren't home. So he went down stairs.
Ichigo was in the living room sitting down in the sofa. She stood up when she saw Kisshu.
'Kisshu,' she said, 'What are you doing here?'
