Chapter 5

Masaya angrily punched the wall in his room, not caring about the pain erupting from his hand.

'I shouldn't have agreed to breaking up with her!' Masaya thought, rage building up inside of him. 'If those aliens come back, and if Kish tries something, I will make sure I'll kill him!'

'I agree,' a voice responded to him inside of his head. That voice was all too familiar, Deep Blue. 'And, I know where the aliens are, and if I told you, you'd want to kill them.'

"I thought that you were long gone, Deep Blue," Masaya said, starting to talk out loud.

'Of course not,' his voice snickered. 'I'll transfer you to my ship and explain everything.' He cackled manically and teleported Masaya to his ship.

The girls, guys, and aliens walked towards the large house. There was a very nice pool, in the center were some plants and flowers. They walked up the steps onto the deck. They walked into the cool refreshing house. Everything about the house was… gorgeous! There was a kitchen, several bathrooms, a t.v room and several bedrooms.

"Our bags are in one of the rooms upstairs," Zakuro told them. "Kish, Pai, and Tart, we have everything you need here, so don't worry about it."

They walked upstairs. Ryou was sharing a room with Lettuce and Mint and Keiichiro were sharing a room. Ichigo, Pudding, and Zakuro all had separate rooms… so one of the aliens shared a room with them!

Zakuro walked into her room. Every room was the same with place cards on the beds. There were two queen sized beds, two closets, a t.v to share with a couch. There was bathroom for two people to share and a door that led to a balcony which gave a perfect view of the hotel, its facilities, and the beach.

Zakuro took a glance down at the other place card and it said 'Pai' on it. She sighed as more confusing thoughts took over her head.

There was a whole bunch of noise outside, so Zakuro just decided to listen to that instead of thinking.

"I don't want to share a room with her!" Tart yelled in frustration while pointing at Pudding.

"Common, Tar-Tar!" Pudding encouraged. "It'll be fun!" Tart moaned as Pudding dragged him into the room.

"Common Kish," Ichigo said to him. "I'm assuming you're in my room."

"You got that right, kitten!" Kish said while grinning, and Ichigo rolled her eyes at him.

Zakuro chuckled lightly at their behavior. She found all of her clothes placed in the draws and her jackets hung up, along with nice clothing. Dresses, suits and shoes were also in the closet. She figured that the aliens all got normal clothing too.

Pai walked into the room and took in the surroundings.

Zakuro looked up at him. His gorgeous orbs looking right at her. She quickly turned around to hide a blush. She walked towards the doors to the balcony and walked outside.

'Pai isn't that bad looking, actually he's really cute,' Zakuro admitted to herself. 'But why did I just let myself go. He was the enemy a while back and now he's comforting me on a plane ride. He can be so overprotective, kind, gentle, and then cold, distant, and determined… maybe even all at once. OH I HATE THIS! I CANT BE FALLING FOR HIM!'

Pai looked at the back of Zakuro, thoughts racing threw his mind as well. 'Why did I want to help her, I didn't even give myself a second thought! The only thing that mattered to me was Zakuro… I CAN'T BE FALLING FOR HER!'

Zakuro walked back inside and sighed lightly. Pai was watching her every move, making her nervous.

'If I could just replay that moment in my head, I might be able to understand my feelings!' They both thought.

Someone knocked on the door. Zakuro opened it and looked down at a grinning Pudding and Tart.

"What?" she asked them.

"We have a movie set up," Pudding told her. "Common, it's really um… interesting!" Pudding started giggling non-stop and Tart started to laugh a little too.

"Common Pai," Tart said to his older friend. Pai got up and followed the two younger kids. Zakuro was confused as to why Pudding was so happy, but she just shrugged it off.

They walked into the 'movie room' and everyone was sitting on the couch. Zakuro and Pai were standing.

"What do you want to show us?" Zakuro asked them, eyeing each one of them suspiciously.

"Masha has a little video clip for us," Ichigo told them, while trying to shove Kish off of her.

The video started and Zakuro and Pai were on the screen. Zakuro's and Pai's eyes widened. That whole scene on the plane was on tape, and everyone knew what happened.

As Zakuro watched the movie, realization hit her like a ton of bricks.

'I… I… have feelings for Pai!' Zakuro thought. 'Maybe… Love?"

Pai averted his widened eyes from the screen, to look at Zakuro. She was shaking slightly and Pai wanted to comfort her, but wasn't sure what she was feeling. The movie ended as quickly as it started.

Everyone on the couch turned around and looked at them, huge grins on their faces.

"What did ya think, onee-sama?" Mint asked her. Zakuro was still shaking and she turned around and ran out.

They all gasped. "Zakuro-san!" Pudding yelled.

"Common we have to make sure she's okay," Ichigo told them. Pai held out an arm to stop them.

"Let me go," Pai told them, in a voice that meant don't even bother arguing. Pai turned around and teleported out of the house.

"Onee-sama," Mint whispered.

"I'm sure she'll be fine," Pudding said.

"Yeah, she probably needs to figure out her feelings," Ichigo said. "I mean we all know she likes Pai." They all nodded.

"Just as much as I love you, Ichigo!" Kish said while hugging her. Ichigo blushed a bunch of shades of red.

'I need to figure out my feelings too,' Ichigo sighed inwardly.

Zakuro ran, didn't really care where she was running to, but she knew she couldn't face Pai. She found herself already on the beach, she was maybe running now for five minutes. She stopped running and panted a bit. She took her shoes off and left them on the tiles next to the sand. No one was on the beach now, it was well after six and the sun started to set.

She walked onto the hot sand and towards the ocean. The ocean breeze tossed her hair in different directions and the sun cast her shadow on the sand. She let the waves hit her feat and she grimaced at how cold it was, but it felt good. She looked at the clear blue ocean, and sighed knowing that it was all over, any hopes of her and Pai to get together.

Pai finally found her on the beach and he started walking over to her. He couldn't help but look her up and down, and he scolded himself for his action, but he thought she was beautiful and couldn't help it.

"The oceans a beautiful thing, isn't it," Pai said, Zakuro jumped slightly and was too nervous to turn around and look him in the eye. The ocean's waves kept coming up and down. Pai's shoes got all wet, but he didn't care. He noticed Zakuro was still shaking, she was probably cold and nervous. He walked a little closer towards her and he noticed her tense.

"Zakuro," Pai spoke softly to her. She blushed at how soft his voice was. He placed a warm hand on her shoulder. His skin was on her skin and it made her want to jump, and she had to stop herself from shivering. Pai turned her around slowly and she screwed her eyes shut and then opened them looking down at the sand. A larger wave came towards them and that pushed Zakuro into Pai.

"Zakuro," Pai spoke again, trying to look her in the eye as he spoke, but she was stubborn and didn't look. Pai placed his free hand under her chin and slowly lifted it up forcing her to look at him. Zakuro go lost in his deep dark violet blue eyes and she lost it at that moment, she couldn't look away. She had so many questions to ask him, but she was too afraid of what the response would be. Pai's eyes started to smolder with a passion and Zakuro's questions would be answered sooner than she thought.

Pai leaned in and took her lips in his soft, full ones. His kiss was passionate and he pressed a little firmer onto her. It took Zakuro a moment to register what was happening and she started to kiss him back.

Pai was trying to tell her everything, how he felt about her in this kiss. He moved his tongue towards the entrance to her mouth, asking if it was okay, and she let him into her mouth. She let a soft moan escape from her lips, letting him know she was enjoying it. Pai slowly moved his lips away and pressed the firmly onto her neck. She moaned as he continued going down to her collar bone. He slowly moved away and looked her in the eyes again. Her face was flushed slightly and Pai's skin tinged a slight shade of pink.

Pai let a small smile come across his lips and Zakuro hugged him. She nuzzled her head into his chest like a dog would to its owner, wanting the owner to pet him more. Pai realized that something furry was on top of her head and the swooshing sounds were coming from a tail swaying back and forth happily.

Pai realized that her wolf ears and tail were there. He slowly caressed her wolf ears, and she sighed happily knowing how he felt about her.

"Zakuro," Pai spoke up, his voice sounding slightly tired. "Your ears and tail, I thought your powers were gone."

Zakuro nodded. "We'll ask Ryou about it later."

"We should get back now, it's getting late," Pai told her looking down at her slightly. Zakuro kissed him softly on the lips once more and Pai lead her back to get her shoes and walked her towards the house, Zakuro's tail swooshing around happily.

They walked into the house. They could hear everyone's voices from upstairs. Zakuro's ears and tail were still out, they wouldn't go away for some reason. As much as she thought about turning back to normal, they stayed there as if they had a mind of their own.

Zakuro and Pai walked up the stairs towards their room, but they were told to stop by Ichigo.

"We were worried sick about you Zakuro!" Ichigo yelled. "If you weren't back soon we would have called the police to go out and look for you!"

"I'm sorry, Ichigo," Zakuro told her. She really didn't mean to make her friends worry about her, but she could handle herself out in the real world. Zakuro and Pai walked into Ichigo's room and they found everyone sitting on the floor and on the couch.

"Zakuro-onee-sama!" Mint yelled happily, she ran up to her idol and hugged her. "We were so worried… um… Zakuro… you're ears and tail!"

"Yeah, I wanted to talk to Ryou about that," Zakuro told her. Everyone stopped chatting and stared at Zakuro. They all realized that she had the ears and the tail again, and all of the girls started to get worried.

"Ryou, why does she have a tail and ears?" Lettuce asked him.

"Well, maybe your job of protecting the Earth isn't finished yet," Ryou reminded them. "Remember when we showed you all of the signals popping up on the screen at the café." All of the girls nodded. "Now I'm assuming what ever that was is going to happen, and you girls are going to have to stop it."

"But we don't have our powers anymore!" Pudding said. "And what if Zakuro is the only one who got her powers back, what if we don't get ours back before a big battle!"

"Pudding, were not sure if there's going to be a big battle," Ichigo reminded her. "And if we did have our powers we would have the marks remember." Ichigo walked over to the younger girl and moved her bangs up to look at her fore head. Ichigo's eyes widened. Pudding's mark was still on her forehead.

"IT'S THERE ISNT IT!" Pudding yelled. "YEAH, I GET TO FIGHT AGAIN!" Everyone sweat dropped at her statement.

"You girls might have to fight again, but we'll discuss it in the morning." Keiichiro said. "We could all use a good night rest, and by the look of things, you girls might be fighting again, so you need all the rest you can get."

"Okay sure," Ichigo said. "Night guys… everyone out of my room!"

"Hey I live here for now!" Kish said to her.

"Yeah, how could I forget," Ichigo said sarcastically. Everyone left her room. Zakuro and Pai walked into their room. Zakuro got changed in the bathroom, into a large purple shirt and darker purple pants. Her ears and tail went back down, so that was good.

She got into her bed and sat up. Pai changed into his clothes too. He was in a large white shirt and black pants.

"Pai," Zakuro spoke up. He sat down on her bed and placed a finger on her lips and smiled warmly at her. She blushed, Zakuro never seen him smile like that before.

"I care about you Zakuro, a lot," Pai told her. "Good night." The last part of the sentence was barley even a whisper. He wasn't sure if it was love, and neither was she, so they didn't mention that word yet. Plus, love is a strong word, so they didn't bother with the term yet. Zakuro fell asleep thinking about the whole day and smiling to herself.

"They're here, Deep Blue?" Masaya asked. Deep Blue once again took over Masaya's body, but they now worked together as a pair. Deep Blue teleported Masaya to the Dominican Republic, where the mews and aliens were staying.

"Give them until later in the day tomorrow, before the first attack," Deep Blue told him. "They figured out that they have their powers back, let's let them enjoy it for a while." Masaya didn't bother asking why Deep Blue wanted to let them have a day. Masaya got himself a room at the hotel and he and Deep Blue exchanged ideas for their first attack.
