Chapter 2

The girl from the future

Everybody had dressed black, the colour of death. A young girl stood in the room next to all unfamiliar people who she just couldn't recognize. She could hear clauses like, "Poor girl…So young…'' "It's cruel to lose one's father at such a young age…'' "I heard her Uncle would take care of her…-but he hates kids.'' "I heard she isn't normal…God knows what she is…'' "Knowing Kishu it could had been anything…''

She just wanted to shut her ears for all this. She knew these people didn't actually care about her or her dad; no, they just wanted see if he was actually dead. The girl raised her head the men came carrying the coffin. Little tears started to form in her eyes, when suddenly someone grabbed her shoulder and whispered quietly: "Stop crying. It's sign of weakness."

The girl quickly turned and looked at the person, who was behind her and holding an umbrella, since it had started to rain. Her eyes widened when she realized who it was.

"Uncle Pai?" She whispered, scared.

Ichigo Momomiya gave the young alien girl in front of her a shocked look.

"What? Are…Are you kidding?" Ichigo asked shocked.

'This can't be…No, no, no! Kishu…My Kishu…Even I hated how he acted…But…I never wished this!,' Ichigo thought as the alien girl walked closer to her.

"Yes, it's true. And it's your fault! I'll never forget and I won't ever forgive!" The girl yelled at her. Her cheeks had turned red and she looked like she was ready to cry.

"But…but…" Ichigo stammered, shocked, when suddenly a yell cut her words off.

"Ichigo! ICHIGO!"

Ichigo slowly turned her head and saw Mew Mint, Mew Zakuro and Mew Berry.

"Are you okay?" Mew Berry shouted as she ran up to Ichigo, followed by the others.

The young alien girl had quickly flown farther away from Ichigo when they had appeared.

"Ye…yes," Ichigo mumbled.

"You'll pay if-…" Mew Berry told the alien, an angry tone in her voice, when suddenly young boy's voice cut her off by yelling. "Stop! Stop you all!"

"Pudding and Taru-taru came as fast as we could! Na no da!" Mew Pudding explained as she appeared together with Taruto and Mew Lettuce, who was with Pai.

"What's going on?" Mew Lettuce asked her shy way, and then they all turned their looks towards the young alien girl. Abruptly, Ichigo grabbed Mew Berry's hand, shouting: "Is Kishu alright?"

"Ye…Yes, why are you asking?" Mew Berry asked, surprised by the question, when Pai suddenly asked the girl: "Who are you? You didn't come to Earth with us. Is everything okay at home?"

For a minute, the girl just stared at Pai, and then slowly turned her look on Taruto.

"Uncle Pai? Taruto-sama?" The girl asked surprise, then took something from her pocket. Ichigo and others could see it was antique clock hanging on a golden rope. The girl opened it and looked at its parts for a minute. Her forehead crinkled as she looked at it and then she brought it to her ear, listening to see if it worked.

"Pai-san…I didn't know you are uncle…" Mew Lettuce said.

"I didn't either…" Pai answered as he walked closer to the girl, meanwhile Mew Pudding was grilling Taruto, trying to figure out who that girl was.

"Excuse me…Who are you?" Pai asked in his neutral voice. The girl raised her and looked up to Pai, a look of shame on her face.

"Sorry, uncle Pai…Of course I had to mess up this, like everything else…" The girl answered in a weak voice, holding her breast, "I'm at the wrong time."

"You mean…You are in wrong place?" Mew Berry asked, puzzled.

"At the wrong time Berry-chan," The girl corrected, smirking now. Pai's eyes narrowed, and then he slowly asked, "You mean you are a time-traveller?"

"Hmm…Still smart, or should I say; you'll stay smart?" The girl asks, smiling the same sly smile that Kish usually used. Pai only stared at the girl as he crossed his arms.

"But…but…that can't be true! Or possible!" Mew Mint chirped; her shocked words expressing what everybody else except Pai and the young girl was thinking. The girl turned to look at Mew Mint. "You never believed anything that you couldn't see with your own two eyes! Hmph! I should go. This time-space is useless…Damn! Kishu could have given me newer picture…"

Ichigo sighed, exhaling the breath of air she'd been holding, understanding now that Kish wasn't yet dead.

"You know Kishu?" Taruto suddenly asked her as he stepped closer, "Are you his girlfr-"

"You won't change Taruto-sama, I can see that…I can't understand how you, Pudding-san, can take off that little idiot; even he has his moments…" The girl said, shaking her head.

"Wha…WHAT?" Taruto yelled. Mew Pudding hugged him fast, and then asked in her childish voice, "Why is oneechan is calling Pudding Pudding-san? Na no da?"

The young alien girl smiled at Mew Pudding and then answered her question. "Because…You are Taruto-sama's girlfriend."

"Be quiet," Pai said suddenly, his voice as cold as ice. "In this point in time, time-travel isn't possible yet, but I can imagine what kind of problems will occur when you start talking about the future."

"Hmph! Did you actually think I would listen to you? Oh well…You always say I have-…" The girl started, when suddenly she fell to her knees, starting to breathe fast. . Mew Zakuro quickly walked over and knelt down next to the girl, than asked if she was alright. The girl shook her head no.

"We have to help her," Mew Zakuro said as she turned to the others.

Pai shook his head "If she stays too long here, she can change future."

"Pai-san…" Mew Lettuce whispered while Mew Zakuro gave him an angry glare. Suddenly girl stood back up, mumbling, "It's okay…I have to get used to this. It'll go away…I have to go and…and…"

She was interrupted a moment later when another young alien appeared, saying his usual lazily way, "You could wake me up! Geez!"

The girl fell down on her knees, again, but this time because she was so shocked.

"Ki…Kishu…" She mumbled. Tears filled her eyes. Kish turned his look on the young alien girl and then asked, "Who are you?"

"You…You are alive…" The girl said, tears falling from her eyes.

"Of course I'm! Why wouldn't I be?" Kish asks as he floated down next to her.

"Kishu, stop it," Pai said, trying to save what was left, but it was too late. The girl had already grabbed Kish and hugged him tightly. She shouted through her tears, "I thought I would never see you again!"

"Oookay sweetheart, I'm pretty sure I haven't met you before, so who are you?" Kish asks as he tried to push the girl away, when she muttered into his ear: "How I can explain this for you, dad? I'm your daughter from future…And my job is killing Ichigo Momomiya."
