Alien Feelings.

Chapter 1: Accidents

"Fuu Rai Sen!" Pai chanted, aiming his attack directly at the fallen Mew Zakuro. His lightning bolt attack charged mercilessly towards the fallen mew. A teenaged girl with brown hair flowing down her back past her waist and strangely bright green eyes came running cheerfully in the direction of the battle. She seemed oblivious to Zakuro, Pai and the battle going on around her. Pai gasped, at the rate she was going Pai's Fuu Rai Sen would hit her directly!

She continued running, not even stopping for a minute. As she drew closer, so did Pai's attack. Pai gasped, it hit her. The once sparky girl dropped to the ground, motionless. Pai floated towards the girl, staring down at her, her white vest top and shorts now soaked in splats of blood. The girl opened her eyes slowly, gazing up at the sky. "Get up." Pai commanded, surprisingly getting the girl's attention. Her bright green eyes flickered to Pai. She nodded, getting half-steadily to her feet. "Wow... You look so cool!" She said perkily. Pai looked away.

"You're bleeding, you know that?" Pai asked, gesturing the blood all over her. She giggled. "So? I'm Ai 's your name?" Ai replied. Pai shifted uncomfortably.

"Pai, my name is Pai." Pai replied coldly. Ai smiled, her eyes sparkling brightly.

"Nice to meet you, Pai! Uh-oh, looks like it's gonna rain!" Ai warned, looking up at the sky, which was now filled with dark grey clouds. "Come with me, those wounds are no laughing matter, and your clothes are filthy." Pai said, starting to walk away. Ai followed Pai, bouncing along like she had sugar highs.

Once the two entered the ship Kisshu looked Ai up and down. He grinned, flashing his fangs at the girl. She smiled back. "Follow me." Pai ordered, interrupting the encounter. Ai nodded, following Pai. Pai threw some rolls of bandage at Ai, which she caught expertly. "Get those wounds dressed, I will bring food later. Entertain yourself." He said coldly, barely turning back to look at Ai.

Ai dressed the worst wounds, but she soon got bored and began messing around. Taruto wandered in curiously to find her wrapping it on her face and walking around like a mummy. He laughed, picking up a roll of bandage and wrapping some around his forehead like a ninja. The two pretended to fight, falling about with laughter. "Great ninja Taruto verses Ai the mummy round 3, begin!" Ai chanted, charging at Taruto and throwing a playful punch at his arm.

They began wrestling on the floor, getting tangled in each other's bandages. Pai walked in, holding a tray of food, which he dropped in surprise when he saw Ai and Taruto wrestling in blood-covered bandages. Ai was unconscious. "Taruto! Stop this at once!" Pai ordered, dragging Taruto off Ai. Ai was becoming surrounded in a pool of blood. Taruto looked around, wide-eyed. "When I said entertain yourself I didn't mean for you to end up opening your wounds, only half-dressing them and fighting with Taruto!" Pai scolded, but Ai didn't open her eyes. "Ai..." He trailed off. She remained motionless.

"Great, just great. She's dead. God, Taruto, you're such an idiot!" Pai turned to Taruto, who now had tears streaming down his cheeks. Taruto never cried. Pai sidled up to Taruto, "it's not entirely your fault, humans are idiots." Pai said, trying to sound comforting. Taruto looked up at him, his eyes filled with anger, "humans aren't the idiots! you are the idiot, Pai! Blaming everybody but yourself! If you hadn't attacked that stupid wolf Mew in the first place this never would have happened!" Taruto shrieked, startling Pai.

"Nng..." Ai groaned, Pai and Taruto turned to her. She was getting to her feet. "Pai... Now, in my last moments, will you... Take care of me?" Ai stumbled to Pai, gripping his shoulders for support. Sadness filled Pai's eyes, "of course... I love you." He replied in a whisper, wrapping his arms around Ai, keeping her up. Ai looked up at him weakly, placing a kiss on Pai's cold lips. Tears streamed down Pai's cheeks, making the kiss salty as it went on. It seemed to go on forever, paining Pai as he knew Ai would die. When the kiss broke, Ai was looking up at Pai, "it doesn't hurt anymore... True love's kiss really does work!" She whispered, he cheeks flushed. Pai blushed, too.

Taruto stood watching, awestruck by his brother's actions. Pai never opened himself up, not since his family died... Not since he was very little. Taruto met Pai when he was small, his parents were still alive, but Pai was alone, barely dragging himself to their school.

*flashback*

Pai dragged himself half-heartedly up the hill. "Hey, are you ok?" Taruto asked innocently. Pai looked at him coldly and kept walking. "It's none of your business, kid." He spat. Taruto ran after him, his cute brown pigtails flying. "You're not fine, are you? You're lonely, well you can be Taru-Taru's friend! That's me, I'm Taruto! What's your name?" Taruto said cutely, gaining Pai's attention. His lips curled up noticeably, he had a friend. "Pai. My name is Pai." Pai said, the coldness in his voice was gone and he was putting more heart into his step now. Taruto smiled, skipping along slightly ahead of Pai.

*flashback over*

Taruto smiled at the memory, Pai wouldn't be here today if they hadn't talked that day on what could never be a normal walk to school again.

*flashback*

Taruto and Pai always walked together, many staring at a last year walking with a first year. They definitely weren't related, Pai had lightish purple hair and was tall for his age and slim, yet Taruto had brown hair in pigtails at each side of his head, his ears took a different shape and he was much smaller. Of course one was a first year and one a last, so the height difference was obvious. Pai and Taruto didn't care. Taruto had had many friends before he met Pai, but they all drifted away when Taruto and Pai started hanging out together. Taruto didn't need them, Pai was like a brother and they seemed more like people tagging along.

Pai and Taruto told each other everything from then on, until they met Kisshu. He came new to their school in middle school, Pai a last year and Taruto a first. Kisshu joined the last year, his ears always drooped and his green hair covering his golden eyes. He was depressed, alone. Girls cooed at him, boys envied him, but he spoke to no one, looked at no one. Except Taruto and Pai. One day in a science lesson when the class was learning about the climate something startling happened, "that's not true! You say it's not so bad but it killed my parents! It left my home town in ruins, warn the people, before it takes this place too!" He yelled out. He got sent out of the class there and then, his golden eyes no longer covered and brimming with tears.

He spoke even less then, not even answering roll call, he was drifting away into a deep depression, Pai couldn't just sit and watch. "Hey," he said to Kisshu one day. Kisshu didn't even look up. "I know what it's like to lose your parents and see devastation, don't let depression and loneliness take you. It's not worth it, find someone, even if it's a first year, find a loyal friend and stick by them!" Kisshu looked into Pai's grey eyes with anger. "Go interfere in someone else's life! I don't need you... I don't need any of them, all I have to do is get strong, strong enough that Deep Blue-Sama will choose me to go the Earth and get it back from the humans! I will not stop until I achieve this goal! So go live your own life!" Kisshu yelled, right in Pai's face. He gave Kisshu a look of pity and nodded. "As you wish." He said, walking back to Taruto, who was staring sadly at Kisshu.

Then Taruto's parents died and everything came crashing down. Taruto would be all alone, since Pai had moved up into high school. People wanted to hang out with him, but he shut them. He wanted Pai, but he rarely ever saw Pai. Pai didn't have friends in high school, but that didn't make Taruto any happier. Taruto had nowhere to go, no one to comfort him when he cried and no one to laugh with him on the rare occasions he was happy. He was lonelier than Kisshu had been, but Kisshu had friends in high school, but his mind was always set on his goal of being accepted by Deep Blue-Sama.

Kisshu did achieve his goal, bringing him closer to Pai and Taruto than he ever wanted to be back in middle school...

*flashback over*

"Pai, remember that day... When you struggled up the hill alone. You opened up to me... And now you are to her..." Taruto trailed off. Pai didn't argue, he nodded.

"So?" Pai replied, holding Ai steady as she looked up innocently at him. "It's called love, something I understand you feel for the monkey Mew." Taruto blushed and looked away.

"And, your point is?" Taruto replied childishly, Pai smiled.

"Is that not good? You got so lonely in middle school, drifting away from even me, such depression always lingered. Until you met the monkey Mew, she brought you back to your spirits, we're not killing the Mews, they are our allies, I put the wolf Mew to sleep making her look dead because Deep Blue-Sama was watching." He said with a smile. Pai had never smiled...
