Unexpected
Chapter one: Introduction
"Kisshu."
It was already night when Kisshu sat down on a rooftop of one of the highest buildings. He sat cross-legged, facing the full moon which seemed to brightly gleam his green locks tied together and framing his face. At the sound of his name, his eyes perked up, allowing the light to easily reflect the innocent attentiveness he paid for the fading yet shining blue light before him purportedly their rescuer and their only route to salvation.
"I'm disappointed in you."
Kisshu couldn't help but to tense, holding onto his feet with his stretched arms as he spoke, anxiety quite noticeable with his gesture.
"I'm terribly sorry, Deep Blue-sama! But—!"
The green-haired boy absent-mindedly stood up, preparing to justify himself. But before he could even validate his situation, he was rudely interrupted by his master.
"Never mind...I have already put another operation into action." He declared, only to receive a questioning look from the alien.
"What are you doing, Kisshu?" An amused tone came out behind said man. Kisshu instantly made a one hundred degree, meeting the proprietor of the voice that rang some bells of recognizance in the alien's conscious, however they were quickly interrupted by the same person.
"It's so shameful that you've been beaten by earthlings over and over!"
The alien's face didn't hesitate in showing a dumbfounded stare. He straightened up shifting his gaze from the brown-haired kid with the pigtails sitting on the edge of the water reservoir to the man whose hair ranged from grey to purple standing beside him. The child broke the silence that scarcely took place with a mischievous laugh that intended to ridicule the teen in front of him. His companion didn't make any response; he remained silent with a hand resting on his hip.
"Taruto! Pai!" Kisshu exclaimed, confirming the unforeseen presence of his fellow aliens on this planet.
"Well, take it easy!" Taruto, the younger one, shouted, crossing his hands behind his head without losing his smirk. "Don't worry, now that we're here, it won't take long to get rid of those humans!"
Kisshu glared at his reply; he was obviously making fun of his competence in fighting. As much as he didn't want to admit it, the kid sort of had the right to do so.
"Pai! Let's take out those Mew-Mews!" Taruto announced excitedly standing up and directing his focus to the elder next to him. Pai simply placed both of his hands on his waist and sighed, nodding to the juvenile before turning around all set to leave.
"Wait!" Kisshu called out raising his fist, irritation radiating from his glowering eyes. "I have my pride too!"
Pai stopped in his way.
"Results are our only concern." He shot, without bothering to look back.
"What do you mean?" The green-haired alien inquired, staring up at their backs.
Pai slightly turned around and stared at him out of the corner of his eyes, meeting the teen's gaze who was somewhat taken aback by his cold glance.
"We just have to win. Pride only gets in the way. You're immature…"
As he finished his retort, Kisshu held his fists tightly and clenched his teeth, still glaring at the silhouette of the two persons before him. Coming all the way there just to taunt him about his failure didn't make his day any better at all. He hated criticism. And it wasn't as if he was being serious with the Mew-Mews anyways. If he was really trying to eliminate them, he could have done it in no time. They were just interesting toys for him. That's all. These two weren't any better than him.
"Just stay out of our way." Pai warned before ditching him and disappearing along with Taruto. That didn't give Kisshu but another reason to curse under his breath and clutch his fists even tighter. His eyes narrowed lingering on the ground beneath him and thinking about his companion's exasperating words.
He remained in that position for a while.
o-o-o
Kisshu sighed again, for maybe the twentieth time, and laid his head on his palm that supported his cheek. He was sitting on one of those wrecked stairs of a ruin in their own dimension. He couldn't help but keep thinking about Pai's words. How couldn't he, now that he had nothing to do?
He murmured another curse, which barely expressed his hostility compared to the face expression he had.
"You seem bored." A not too unfamiliar voice snapped him back to reality. Kisshu needn't to turn around to find out who the person was. Nevertheless he rolled his eyes towards them, never shifting his head, and spoke in a manner that clearly illustrated irritation.
"Since I was told not to do anything by a certain someone."
That said, he looked away again, trying to seem less pitiful than he already was and more apathetic. None of the other two bought it though. They remained silent; Taruto crossing his arms behind his head and Pai folding his over his chest.
"Did you guys return without accomplishing anything?" He asked casually, in contrast of what was inside of him that was eagerly hoping they didn't, that way maybe, just maybe, they can shut up a little and save their unnecessary ego to themselves.
"Attacking rashly increases the likelihood of failure." Pai uttered, dismissing the green-haired's wishes and bringing him back to his melancholy.
"Che, whatever." He said aggravated. He obviously wasn't pleased; he needed to do something. It wasn't as if they were the only ones who could plan things. There must be something he could do to prove them wrong. But what? What could he possibly do?
He quietly stood up, dusting himself and headed in the opposite direction of his comrades. He wasn't really paying attention to where he was going; he just needed some time alone to come up with a plan away from the other aliens. That option wasn't given for him however, for the elder immediately spoke before he got the chance to get out of sight.
"Why am I having the feeling you're up to something, Kisshu?"
For some reason, all the anger that was built up over the last couple of days seemed to get off Kisshu's back at Pai's words. They weren't compliments or encouragement or anything to be happy about by any means. Those weren't something that could be ever said by Pai. But hearing those coming out of the elder alien's mouth seemed to be satisfying for him to hear. He paused midway and relaxed, slightly looking over his shoulders to meet the impassive-faced alien.
"I'm not planning anything, Pai, I just wanna make a little visit to the human world." He said nonchalantly, his smirk on his face said otherwise.
Pai's eyes seemed to widen a very tiny fraction; nothing else showed any change of his demeanor. Meanwhile, Taruto only looked back and forth between the two exchanging the never-ending stare. Pai was the first to put an end to this staring competition.
"Don't even consider disobeying Deep Blue-sama. You had your chance and you blew it." He spoke ever so calmly.
Kisshu let out a small chuckle.
"What chance? I was just toying with them." He said, then shrugged. "I'll be on my own way to eliminate the Mew-Mews, and maybe keeping one of them for us." He continued the last part in almost a whisper for only himself to hear and enjoy the sound of it.
"Don't make such idiotic decisions, Kisshu. These things necessitate examination and evaluation." The elder replied, his voice seemed to elevate for a bit.
Once again Kisshu laughed. The way this conversation appeared to be going started to amuse him. Startled, both Pai and Taruto kept their focus on the teen before them, who took his time to calm himself and sigh, before going on and asking.
"You saying I'm not clever enough to plan something, is that it?" He started then paused, yet he didn't give the other the chance to answer for he continued his talk. "I'll show you I can deal with those humans." He finished pointing his thumb at his chest with his chin somewhat up.
As he stepped forth to carry on with his way, the same voice he got tired of hearing stopped him from continuing his path.
"Don't defy Deep Blue-sama's orders!" He warned, but the unease he was feeling only made Kisshu's grin widen.
"Relax, don't be so boring, Pai. You'll get your Mew-Mews, and I'll get mine. I have a plan." He affirmed, stretching his arms in a way of a warm-up.
I need a plan…He pondered, scratching the back of his head.
"Well, don't miss me much, ja." He finished, placing a hand next to his forehead in a salute.
"But Kisshu, wait!" Taruto tried calling after him but alas, he was already gone. The kid sighed and puffed his cheeks as he placed both hands on his hips and shook his head in an almost disappointed way.
"What's got into him?" The youngster complained, yet he really did want an answer.
Pai shrugged and fixed his gaze where the teen alien was once standing. Kisshu was always rebellious by nature, but he had never reached the point to actually go against Deep Blue's orders. Something was definitely not right there.
"Never mind him. He's just being foolish." Was the only answer Taruto received.
