888888 Blah, blah, the story starts here! xD 888888
Berri stared at Retasu, who was crouched on the floor, holding the picture against her chest. 'Retasu-san… That's who your waiting for… isn't it?' Berri asked her friend cautiously. Retasu stood up, her back to Berri. 'It is none of your concern what my relationship with Pai is.' Retasu glared at Berri with cold malice.
Pai. That's right. His name was Pai.
'Retasu-san… I can tell that you love him… isn't there some way that you-' Berri was interrupted with a shout from Retasu. 'Stay out of it, damn it!' Retasu growled as she walked over to the bed and sat on it. 'Now, I must ask you to remove yourself from my room.' Retasu hissed as Berri looked at her with a feeling of shock. This was so unlike the kind, caring Retasu that everyone knew.
Berri respected Retasu's wish, and left the room, shutting the door behind her. Retasu eyed the door until she was sure it was completely closed. She then returned her attention to the picture that lay in front of her. She picked it up and smiled. A tear fell from her eye and plopped down onto the picture, others following it.
Berri walked down the hall, down the stairs, and into Zakuro's Garden, which Zakuro had began a few months after she finally moved into the renovated café. 'I should ask Zakuro-san what happened six years ago…' Berri thought as she scanned the Garden, in search for the twenty-one year old Mew. She spotted her in a patch of lavender, picking off small pieces.
'Umm… Zakuro-san?' Berri said as Zakuro looked up from her task and smiled. 'What is it Berri?' She asked softly. 'I have something to ask you…' Zakuro looked curious at what Berri had said. She stood up and beckoned Berri to a set of chairs at the edge of the Garden. Berri nodded and took the chair that was on the left. 'Now…' Zakuro said as she rested herself into the chair on the right. 'What was it that you wanted to know?' Berri looked up nervously.
'I was wondering…' Berri looked away, feeling slightly ashamed. 'Continue.' Zakuro urged Berri. 'Well… this morning… I was changing Retasu-san's sheets, and I saw a photograph of…' Zakuro looked at Berri. 'No more information is needed.' Berri looked up at Zakuro questioningly. 'You want to know what kind of relationship Retasu had with Pai.' Berri stared at Zakuro. 'Y-you mean that you know…?' Zakuro nodded.
'The only ones that know of the secret that took place six years ago are Retasu, Pai, and I. I would appreciate if you did not repeat what I have to say to any of the other mews.' Berri nodded and looked anxiously at Zakuro.
'Six years ago, Minto was bothering Ichigo about how she should go get tea from the storage room, due to the fact that there was none left in the kitchen.' Berri failed to see the connection between Ichigo and Minto arguing about tea, and the relationship between Pai and Retasu. 'Then Retasu kindly offered to get a box of tea.' At least Retasu was involved now.
'Pai and Retasu still do not know that I had gone to the lower levels myself, searching for something that I had left there the previous day. Anyway, while Retasu was searching for the tea, Pai had stupidly teleported himself into the storage room, not realizing that he was not alone. Retasu freaked out that there way a person lying on the floor, which is when I began to watch the following events.' Zakuro said as she looked up at Berri.
'Would you like some tea?' Zakuro asked softly. 'Oh… thank you.' Berri said as she waited for the older mew to return and continue with her story.
Fire… it was hot… a house on the earth was burning… policemen we're holding back a girl, screaming… screaming…
'IEI!! URI!!'
He stared at the screaming face of the girl, tears streaming down her face...
He shivered and twitched until he shot straight up from his pillow, panting. He felt his face. It was soaked with sweat. Although the metal-walled room was cold, he felt as if he had been running 100 miles in the earth's sun. He ran his fingers through his lavender-colored, sweat soaked hair, and sighed. He had a nightmare. Another one. They were starting to happen more frequently, and were becoming more vivid as he drew nearer to the earth.
He shut his violet-colored eyes and lay back down again. Thoughts raced through his head. Thoughts, ranging from math problems, his planet, and the consistency of hair conditioner. He finally got up and walked out of his room, his long hair clinging to his sweat covered torso. As he walked into the kitchen area, he was greeted by a 'good morning' which was expressed with great difficulty by a dark-green haired young man, probably about 21 or so.
'Goo-good m-morn-ning P-P-Pa…' That was as far as the young man got before bursting out in laughter. 'Pai… have I ever told you that you look so funny with your hair down?' the boy with green hair asked through laughs. Pai walked slowly to what seemed to be a fridge, and looked inside. 'Yes, Kisshu. You tell me that every morning.' He mumbled as he pulled out a white, milk-like substance contained in the 'fridge'.
Kisshu continued to chuckle as he ate a strange substance which would be rather difficult to describe. Pai also sat down and engaged in conversation with his companion. A boy, most likely at the age of 17, entered the room. Kisshu looked up from his un-named substance and placed his golden gaze upon the boy with short brown hair. 'Ah… Taruto. How far are we from earth?' Taruto looked up from a sheet of paper he was holding and smiled with excitement. 'If we continue at the speed we're going at, we should arrive at exactly 6:02 PM, Tokyo time.
Kisshu grinned and turned his attention to Pai, who was staring vacantly into space. Kisshu poked Pai, which made his grin widen. 'Y' hear that Pai-chan?' he said teasingly. 'We're gonna be on earth soon.' Pai ignored him and pulled out a grayish-green ribbon, and started tying his waist-length lavender hair into a low ponytail. Kisshu couldn't help but let a tint of pink touch his cheeks as he looked at his 23-year-old comrade.
'F-for some reason, when you tie your hair up, you make my heart go i doki-doki /i …' Kisshu said in a manner that slightly disturbed Taruto, and was even more disturbing to the Alien that he was directing it to. 'Tch… you're a sick pervert, Kisshu…' Pai muttered loud enough for Kisshu to hear. Kisshu smiled and placed his chin in his hand. 'I know.'
