The Rest of Chapter Six
Well, last night I was forced off the computer, so now, I'm going to finish with this chapter.

Aishiteru plodded down the street, still a little annoyed with her family's reaction. 'Good thing my father didn't hear or I wouldn't have been able to go. Heck, he would've locked me in my room to keep me from going out with a guy,' Aishiteru thought with a chuckle.
Then, she heard footsteps behind her. At first, she didn't pay attention. 'It's dark, but not only psychos walk at night. I'm walking at night,' she reminded herself.
Soon, the footsteps began to quicken. She began to move faster, so did the steps. Aishiteru was now beginning to worry. She started to jog and so did her pursuer. 'Time to run,' Aishiteru thought, taking off. The footsteps behind her started sprinting also. It began to catch up. Yes, she was a fast runner, but not in a skirt. 'I knew this skirt would pull me down', Aishiteru stated in her mind.
Soon, strong arms wrapped around her waist, turning her around. Behind her stood a boy that seemed only a few years older than herself. She could feel the prescence of a demon coming from inside him. Two more demon boys appeared. They covered Aishiteru's mouth to muffle her screaming, dragging her into an alley. The first demon shoved her into the alley, causing her to plunge to the ground. It picked her up and slammed her back into the wall. 'I wish I had the AniCom right now,'Aishiteru wished.
"So, you are the girl who's been killing off us demons, huh?" the demon sneered. "You don't seem so tough to me." "Should we kill her?" another demon asked. "Let's have some fun with her first," the leader suggested. "Fun? I don't see any cake or ice cream," Aishiteru joked with a nervous twitter. "You got jokes too?" the leader asked. He gave her a death stare. All of a sudden, Aishiteru was frightened.
"You guys stand guards while I teach this girl whose the boss around here," the leader demon instructed. His underlings nodded and left the 2 alone.
The leader demon pinned her hands above her head with one hand and with the other began to trace his fingers up her bare thigh. "Hey! Hands off!" Aishiteru shouted. The leader demon smirked. He began to lean in closer for a kiss which Aishiteru knew she was not going to enjoy. Before he could, there were 2 thumps and groans. Both Aishiteru and the demon turned to see his minians fall to the floor.
"What are you guys doing? I told you to keep watch," the leader questioned. "Well, I guess you need some new look-outs," a voice told him. It was dark, so Aishiteru couldn't make out who the voice was. The leader demon released her and charged over to the figure. All the mystery boy had to do was punch the demon once and it fell to the floor. The demon stumbled up and was kicked and punched repeatedly until it fell to the floor once again. This time, it didn't come back up. Aishiteru stumbled over to her savior. She tripped on her way. He raced over and caught her. She looked up at his face. She grinned slightly when she saw Skye's gorgeous eyes. He smiled back at her. Aishiteru took note that this was the first time she'd seen him smile.
"Are you ok?" Skye quizzed, setting Aishiteru down. "I'm perfect!" Aishiteru exclaimed, but fell to her knees. "What's wrong?" he asked. "My back aches and I cut myself when he pushed me," Aishiteru informed. She could feel blood trailing down her leg.
"I'll take you to my house. It's closer," Skye told her. He swooped her up into his arms and began to trugde. After only a few steps, Skye groaned in pain.
"Set me down! You're hurt!" Aishiteru commanded. He did as he was told. She examined him to see that he had been sliced in the stomach. She helped him up and they leaned on each other all the way back to his house.
When they reached Skye's home, Aishiteru became a little nervous. 'What if his parents are home? What could I tell them? Skye left only hours ago as good as new and he comes back a total wreck with some girl. That's a really good picture,' Aishiteru thought. Skye unlocked the door and led Aishiteru inside. No one was home. "My parents are out of town all week," Skye explained. Aishiteru sighed with relief.
Skye leads her upstairs and they go into a bedroom which Aishiteru assumes is his.
"First, let's take care of the cut on you leg," Skye stated. He went over to his closet while Aishiteru plopped down on his soft bed. Skye returned with a frst aid's kit and began to bandage Aishiteru's wound. While he did so, Aishiteru pondered, 'Why does a 15-year old boy have a first aid's kit in his closet? Does he get hurt often?'
"Done," Skye conversed. "Your turn," Aishiteru told him, getting off his bed. He positioned himself on the floor to not get any blood on his bed. Skye ripped off his shirt so Aishiteru to help him. Aishiteru examined the cut. It wasn't too deep, but it still looked bad. Aishiteru began to clean the wound and all of the dried blood around it. While Aishiteru bandaged Skye up, she took a note that he had a really built body. Rock hard abs and a nice six-pack. Aishiteru blushed.
"Done," Aishiteru informed. He sat up and Aishiteru put away the kit.
"Well, I guess I'll go home now," Aishiteru told him. She limped towards the door. "Don't go," Skye pleaded. Aishiteru was taken aback by his sincere tone.
"You're hurt. You shouldn't have to walk all the way home. At least stay and eat," Skye replied with a blush. Aishiteru smiled and followed him into the living room. Skye left for the kitchen. Aishiteru inspected the room while he was gone. The house was small, but was filled with pictures with his family. Aishiteru had to giggle when she saw a picture of a tiny boy. She had to recognize his blue eyes from Skye. The boy was seated on one of those baby potties, beaming.
Soon, Skye returned with two bowls of soup. Aishiteru wolfed down the food, greedily. Skye guffawed. "What? I'm hungry!" Aishiteru exclaimed. He let out a little giggle and began to eat. They gobbled down their soup in silence. When they were done, Skye returned their bowls to the kitchen.
"Does it ever get lonely having to train and train. You don't seem to have lots of time for fun," Aishiteru asked. "I don't need fun. For me, the satisfaction of knowing that I'm keeping those I care about safe, is all I need," Skye retorted. "Like I did tonight." Aishiteru blushed.
Skye let out a tiny chuckle. "What?" Aishiteru demanded. 'Maybe there's something on my face!' Aishiteru realized. She began to search for whatever it was. "It's nothing," Skye lied. Aishiteru playfully punched Skye in the arm. "This isn't fair! I can't fight a defenseless girl," Skye exclaimed. "We'll see whose defenseless," Aishiteru joked. She knocked him to the ground and he smiled. She and Skye began to play wrestle. It reminded her of what she and her little brother did all of the time. The 2 stop when Skye was kneeling over Aishiteru. She blushed and he leaned in closer. She began to stare into his blue eyes and he stared back. Soon, their lips were touching. It was a soft and quick kiss, but Aishiteru knew that she'd remember it forever for it was her first kiss.
He sat up off of her and blushed. "Sorry," he apologized. "I just got carried..." Aishiteru interrupted him with another kiss. This one longer and deeper than the first.
When the 2 parted, Aishiteru blushed. Before she could say a thing, he graspsed her hand. "Would you stay with me tonight... in seperate rooms of course?" Skye asked. Aishiteru smiled and nodded.
First, while Skye set up a room for her, Aishiteru called her mother. When Aishiteru mentioned staying overnight, her mother replied: "With who? It'd better not be that same boy?" "No! We... met up with Chie at the theater and I'm staying with her. We're going to sleep soon, so please don't call. We need our beauty rest," Aishiteru lied. They chatted for a little more and soon hung up.
Only seconds later, Skye appeared and showed her into her room. He tossed her a shirt to change into. It was obviously one of his for it was way big on her. He was turning to leave when he jerked around. "Oh yeah, you want to know what I was laughing about? It was the fact that that partner of your takes you for granted. You are someone special and he treats you nothing like that," Skye told her. "He's ok. He's kind of commanding though, but he's always there for me," Aishiteru protested. "Well, it was him you had the argument with, right?" Skye guessed. "How'd you know?" Aishiteru quizzed. "If it wasn't, you would've called him before me," Skye pointed out. Aishiteru raised her eyebrows at his perceptiveness. He smiled at her and exited.
Soon, Aishiteru fell asleep.

Later that night, Aishiteru slipped out of bed and tip-toed into Syke's room. She lightly knocked on the door and entered. She opened her parched mouth to question where the kitchen was, but stopped herself. Skye was still asleep. Aishiteru stared at him fondly. His hair and fallen over his eyes and his face was set in a peaceful pose. Aishiteru scurried back out and sauntered back into her room. She went back to her sleep. This time with thoughts of Skye dancing about in her head.

Well, that was my long chapter. I hoped you all liked it.

Quote of the Day-
"You're shooting for a goal with seeing the path to get there. And your goals are so high, it's easy to get knocked off course. You can stay in one place, you can rest, but you can't turn back. Don't mind those who leave your side and uhh... that is to say... oh please! You'll be fine by yourself! Just be who you want to be and not who people expect you to be."
-Tatsuya Shishikura (Real Bout High School Vol. 3)

I know its late, but heres chapter six!
I'm going to warn everybody in advance. In this chapter, Aishiteru shows off her girly side, so brace yourself. Don't worry. As soon as this chapter is over, she'll be back to her old and tough self.

Chapter Six
Aishiteru's New Crush

"I love your silky hair. The orange looks so exotic," Chie complimented her best friend. "Well, I'd kill for your bright blue eyes," Aishiteru replied. Chie continued to ramble on about Aishiteru's beautiful features, but Aishiteru was too preoccupied to notice. Her mind was full of other matters.
"What's up? You don't seem to be paying much attention to me," Chie stated. "Well..." Aishiteru hesitated. "Come on. You can tell me! I promise I won't tell," Chie coaxes. "Like last time?" Aishiteru asked. "Well, only half of the school found out," Chie told her. "Fine. I've been thinking about Skye-kun," Aishiteru admitted. "He's cute!" Chie exclaimed. "And mysterious and strong. In other words, he's hot!" "I know," Aishiteru agreed. "I just don't know how to tell him. I'm not that great around guys." "You have bunches of guy friends," Chie protested. "They're all friends though. I'm starting to see Skye-kun as someone I like more than a friend," Aishiteru informed. Chie gasped and began to gossip and chatter about her and her many boyfriends and how they could double-date and such. Aishiteru barely listened for she was still thinking of Skye.

The next day, Aishiteru senses a demon. "Here we go again," Aishiteru stated as she pulled out the AniCom. She began to then chase after the signal. Soon, she reaches an alley. Inside, she finds Skye and a demon. It charges at him and takes him by surprise. It knocks Skye down. It is about to use its claws when Aishiteru uses her Wind Torrent. It blows the demon off of Skye. It then turned and spotted her. It began to lung at her, but before it can reach her, Skye used his naginata and struck down the demon. It fell to the floor and Aishiteru sealed it away.
"Thank you for your help," Skye told her. She smiled at him as he turned to leave. "Wait!" Aishiteru called after him. He turned. "You don't seem to be from around here," Aishiteru remarked. "No. I came from a city in Europe. I was born here, but haven't been since I was a child. Yes, I didn't live in the woods or something, but I was more thinking of my training than all of the recreational luxuries. I'm not really used to the big city life here," Skye explained. "Would you like me to show you around the big city?" Aishiteru asked. "It would be fun and you would learn more about your new home." "I guess..." Skye agreed. Aishiteru smiled. She brought him back into the city and she began the tour. They went everywhere that Aishiteru could think of. Along the way, they had a lot of fun. When it was getting late, they decided to eat. They went to MacRonald's. Skye wasn't used to the fries and hamburgers they served and Aishiteru laughed at this. Fast food was unhealthy for training. It seemed that she ate fast food almost everyday. Afterwards, Skye walked her home.
"Well, see you later?" Aishiteru asked. "I guess," he replied. He turned and left. Aishiteru smiled. She hurried up to her room, running right past her little brother and mother who were seated in the living room. As soon as she reached her room, she squealed with delight. "I've never been so girly around a guy before. I've never felt like this about a guy either. Not even around Yoji-kun," Aishiteru stated, confused. She shrugged.
For the rest of the evening, Aishiteru was in a daze.

The next afternoon, Tai and Aishiteru were trekking down the street after slaying 3 small demons. "I'm hungry. MacRonald's?" Aishiteru asked. "Sure," Skye shrugged. Aishiteru led him to the restaurant and they took their seats at a booth.
"It seems that we haven't hung out in a long time," Tai stated. "Have we ever hung out before?" Aishiteru questioned. Tai began to think. "I guess not," Tai remembered with a smile.
"This is the same booth Skye-kun and I sat at yesterday," Aishiteru mumbled. "What did you say?" Tai demanded. "You and Skye-san were here yesterday?" "Yeah. So what?" Aishiteru asked. "That Skye is bad news. I don't want you hanging out with him," Tai ordered. "Who do you think you are?" Aishiteru quizzed. "You shouldn't be getting mad! You can't tell me who not to hang out with!" She didn't even wait for his reply. She snatched her stuff, jumped up, and stormed away. She expected Tai to follow or at least call after her, but he doesn't.
Soon, she reaches her home. At her fast and angry pace, it only took her a little while. She didn't know who to vent to. She knew Chie was out. Her friend had only been bragging to Aishiteru about her date with Kito Mosinigi for a week. The only other person Aishiteru could think of was Skye. He had given her his number for in the event that she found a demon she needed help fighting. Even though that wasn't the case, she called him anyway. After 3 rings, he answered. Just the sound of his voice helped calm Aishiteru down.
"Hi. It's me," Aishiteru greeted. "Oh. What? Is there a demon?" Skye demanded. 'I feel stupid coming to him with my problems. Maybe I should just talk to him about something else?' Aishiteru thought.
"So, before you said about defeating the leader demon. What does that mean?" Aishiteru questioned. "Well, demons are stupid. They don't have enough brain power to live on their own without any direction. There has to be a leader demon that is telling them all what to do. If we find that demon, then the others will be lost and defenseless. They'll be sitting ducks; easy prey. Even if we don't get them all, they won't wreak havoc if no one's telling them to," Skye explained. "Oh, now it makes sense," Aishiteru responded. She let out a long sigh, still thinking of her argument with Tai.
"What's wrong?" Skye asked. To Aishiteru's shock, he seemed a little worried. "Oh nothing. I just got into an argument and I can't take my mind off of it," Aishiteru informed. She thought it would be best not to mention who the argument was with. He hated Tai and Tai hated him.
"I have an idea. Let's go see a movie. My few friends from my old home used to go to them all the time. I never went because I was too busy. It might help you forget about this problem," Skye suggested. "I'd be glad!" Aishiteru retorted. "You know where the theater is?" "We walked past it on our tour, didn't we?" Skye answered. "I guess so. Well, I'm going to get ready and then get going, alright? Bye!" Aishiteru exclaimed. "Hm," was his reply as he hung up his receiver.
Aishiteru put down her phone. As soon as she did, she did a little happy dance. Unlike her best friend, she had never been into the dating scene. This was actually her first date. 'I know that Skye-kun probably won't see this as a date, but I can't help it,' Aishiteru thought. She put on one of her only skirts. The light, soft brown matched with her eyes. Then, she put on a green blouse. She didn't have that much clothes that seemed suitable for a date, so these would have to do.
Aishiteru snatched her purse and hurried downstairs. She hoped she could sneak past her little brother. He would probably laugh at her. She rarely ever wore skirts. The only time were when her mother forced her to. She was heading out the door, when she heard a chuckle.
"Teru-onee-sama is wearing a skirt!" her little brother, Kero laughed. Aishiteru was about to put him a headlock when her mother appeared. "Where are you going?" her mother asked. "To hang out with one of my friends," Aishiteru replied. "Is it the same friend who walked you home yesterday?" Aishiteru's mom questioned with a grin. Aishiteru rolled her eyes and nodded. "You're going out with a boy?" her mom demanded. "I'm so happy!" Aishiteru sighed and began to leave. "Teru and a boy!" her brother yelled. Aishiteru rolled her eyes at his ignorance before exiting the house.
