A/N: I'll let you guys of easy this time because there aren't as many KishxMint fans as I thought. It's mostly IchigoxKish or RyouxIchigo or RyouxLettuce. Anyways, here's the second chapter please enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own Tokyo Mew Mew. I only own the plot of this story, the rest belongs to Reika Yoshida's, Mia Ikumi's and the publishers. If you read TMM fanfiction before you would have known that.
Italics are Kish's thoughts.
Chapter 2: Time to Hide
Kish had been thinking about certain things, which would explain his strange behavior towards Mint.
How will I get Mint past everyone at home? I don't want her between the conflicts about the two halves of my planet. So how will I not get her involved?
Kish had been thinking about this all night. He didn't really get much sleep.
Wow, this ship moves slower then I thought.
Kishtook aglanceat his clock and scrambled out of bed. He ran out of his room and straight to Mint's room.
Oh no, Pie and Tart are almost here. I have to go hide Mint.
Kish quietly crept into Mint's room, where Mint slept quietly in a peaceful dream with the light from the window shining down on her. She looked like an angel to Kish.
I hate to interrupt her sleep but Pie and Tart are almost here.
He gently shook Mint's shoulder.Mint made some sounds and opened an eyelid or two.
"Huh? Kish what are you doing here?"
Good, she's awake now all I have to do is find a safe place to hide her. Too bad I can't just stuff her into the closet.
"Well, uh, this trip took longer than I thought. Pie and Tart are almost here so..."
"I have to hide? I thought, you told me not to worry."
"Sorry, come on you have to find a safe place to hide before they arrive."
Mint gave a small nod in agreement. Kish gave hera pair of his clothes to change into. Last night, Kish gave her a different pair of clothes to sleep in. He took her dress and put it somewhere. He unfortunately, forgot where. Mint took a quick trip into the bathroom to change. Kish sat on here bed while waiting.
"Do you have any idea where I should hide?" Mint said, coming out of the bathroom.
"Not really, let's see the options. You have to hide somewhere where I could keep track of you. It also has to be a safe place." Kish thought carefully. He knew the control room andthe space room are out, because Pie's always in those roomsincludinghisown room. The greenhouseisalso out, because Tartusually plays there.Mint's room was to be cleaned by Pie, today and most of the company rooms.
"So the only place left is the dungeon down below and your room?"
"The dungeons also are not an option either, because Tart is going to clean those too. I guess my room is all that's left,"Kish said. Mint wondered if Kish was forcing her to hide in his room, though Kish's fangirls wouldn't mind.
I'm starting to sound like, I'm forcing her into that room.
Kish lead Mint to his room. His room was quite plain nothing, except a bed a few documents on the desk, along with a computer and a door which lead to the bathroom. The thing that stood out was a picture frame with the glass that was used forMint's room. She couldn't see through the glass, but it really intrigued her. Kish noticed that Mint was staring at the picture and said, "Interesting, picture isn't it. Too bad, I never was able to see through the glass. My parents gave it to me before they died, they said that only a special person could open it for me. Of course, I didn't listen to them I tried all my might to open it and, of course, I couldn't so now I'm waiting for that special person. I thought for sure that it was Ichigo, but then I thought over and it couldn't be her. I don't know why I thought that, but now I know for sure it isn't her." Kish started to laugh at what he said, it was quite a personal for him to say to someone who used to be his enemy. Suddenly, they heard someone coming. "Oh no, Pie and Tart are here! Hurry, hide in the bathroom, I'll close the door." Mint hurried into the bathroom, while Kish closed the door outside. He leaned on the bathroomdoor, casually. Pie opened the door into Kish's room.
"Hello, Kish what are you doing here? You're usually in the space room," Pie said.
"Why? This is my room after all, so how was the peace treaty going?" Kish asked, trying to throw Pie off the subject.
"Kyrai finally agreed, the signing will begin tomorrow and the war on our planet will soon come to an end with Kyrai helping us."
Oh no! I hope Mint didn't hear that. The war must be kept a secret to her.
"Uh, um, where's Tart?" Kish said, trying to get Pie away from this room. He didn't want suspicion to rise from Pie.
"Oh yeah, where is he?"
"You better find him before he wrecks the library or control room again. Um, I have to finish these documents for most of the whole day so please don't disturb me, anymore."
"Um, alright," Pie answered, getting suspicious. Kish began to get a little nervous and started sweating a little. Pie began leaving and closed the door to Kish's room.
Good all clear for the little birdie to get out.
Kish opened the door to find Mint sitting on the floor trying to hold her laugh back, but shedidn't succeed. She bursted into laughter.
What's she laughing about?
"Sorry, I didn't mean to--insert laughing here-- laugh at you like---laughter---that but," Mint laughed again, and again tried to hold it back, "Its just that---laughter---they didn't even notice----laughter---- that I was here. ---more laughter----It's not much to----laughter---- laugh about, so---laughter---- sorry."
"Yeah, it is kinda funny," Kish said, and even laughed a little. He stopped a few minutes later afraid that Pie or Tart might have heard them laughing. Mint also stopped laughing.
"You stay here and keep the door close, I'll get you something to eat. Don't open the door unless you hear my voice." Mint gave a small nod, and Kish left the room,then closed the door. Mint stayed in the room.She turned her head and looked at theframe, for some unknown reason. She took the frame off the wall and examined it. She gently used her finger, tracing around the glass.
Meanwhile in the space room...
Kish floated through thespace holding Mint's meal on a tray. He wondered where Pie and Tart were. He hasn't seen Pie since he came home, and Tart since yestarday.
Hmm... wonder where they are. Something doesn't seem, right. What if they found Mint?
Kish worried a lot. He hurried through, the room finally reaching his room.
Whew, the door is closed so that means Pie and Tart aren't here.
Kish gently placed the tray on the floor and knocked on the door.
"Alright you can open the door now, I'm back." The door opened, but it wasn't Mint who opened it. Kish looked into the room shocked. and what was in the room you ask that made Kish surprised. Kish saw that Pie and Tart were in the room with Mint. Mint's hand was tied behind her back so she couldn't transform and her purse, with Masha inside, was all the way across the room.
Oh great, those two found out. How am I suppose to get out of this one?
"Well, Kish we found out your little secret," Tart began breaking the five-minute-long silence.
"But how'd you find out?" Kish said, trying not to sound nervous.
"Easy you never like working on documents and never did. I always end up doing them for you. Also this morning, you didn't sound like yourself. You asked too many questions. Finally, me and Tart heard two people laughing, while we were on our way to the control room. How we got in was also easy. We used this tape recorder," Pie answered.
Tart gave Pie the tape recorder.
"The tape recorder was recorded by Tart. He recorded your voice.I could turn your voice into certainwords with the computer," Pie said.
Sometimes I wish, Pie wasn't so smart and observant.
"Alright, I give up, but you have to promise not to tell anyone. Imagine what would happen if she got in the middle of the war," Kish said, faking it.
Uh oh, said too much by now she probably already figured everything out and things could get any worse.
Mint stayed quiet and listened to the conversation. She couldn't do anything. She felt so poor and helpless, right now. She also felt so sorry for Kish.
"Fine, but you have to bring her back," Pie exclaimed. Kish gave a small nod, and Pie pulled Mint up by the arm (she was sitting on the floor). Kish was untying the rope and whispered something into Mint's ear. He whispered, "When I finish untying you and when we're outta this room, we'll make a run for it and get into the smaller ships down in the dungeon." Kish finished untying her. Pie and Tart watched as Kish lead Mint out of the room. Pie and Tart followed Kish out of the room. Suddenly, Kish and Mint darted away from them. Pie and Tart were surprised, they stood there stunned for a few seconds, before recovering andchasing after Kish and Mint. Pie and Tart were catching up to the two fast because they didn't even need to run they were floating. Kish sped up but Mint was tailing behind having a hard time to keep up. Kish let Mint catch up, before picking her up and carried her downstairs.
"The ships are close by, we're almost there."
They made it and locked the door so Pie and Tart couldn't get in.
"We have to hurry into the ships, it'll only take Pie a few minutes to open the door," Kish said. The ships were nothing much, it was like a battle plane. It had two seats, enough for Mint and Kish.
"It's not much but it'll do, because we're close enough to my home planet so these planes will make it," Kish said. Mint and Kish climbed in there was a small compartment behind the chairs,which had supplies and some clothing. Mint put the frame inside the one of thecompartments. During the escape, she had managed to snatch the frame. She didn't know why she did it, she just did it.
"Alright, I'll pilot you be the back up pilot. You do know how to pilot, right?" Kish asked. Mint shook her head. "I guess not just watch me. You'll learn, eventually." The take off was a little bumpy but it began to smoothen out. Mint took the frame out during the flight to examine it, again.
