You Lost My Trust

While Kisshu was kissing Ichigo, Moe went back to Pai's lab, and found Miwa about to wake Pai up. She looked up and said, "How's Kisshu?"

"Kissing Ichigo, I think they'll be fine," Moe said. "Were you going to wake Pai up?"

Miwa nodded and tapped Pai's forehead. Pai slowly opened his eyes and sat up, then asked, "What happened?"

"Kisshu knocked you out," Miwa said.

"There's good news and bad news, too," Moe commented.

"What's the good news?" Pai asked.

"The good news is that Kisshu's dream is reversed," Moe said. "And Ichigo doesn't remember anything."

"What's the bad news?" Pai asked warily.

"Kisshu says to tell you you've completely lost his trust," Miwa said. "And yes, he was serious."

Pai looked sad, and Moe said, "You can't really blame him, you know. How would you like it if he made you tell Lettuce you were just using her to get to Zakuro?"

"I'd hate him for eternity….." Pai said gloomily.

"Exactly," Kisshu said coldly from the doorway. "This time you've gone too far, Pai. Whether Ichigo remembers what I said or not, the fact remains that you used mind control on me in order to make me hurt her. And Ichigo invited me to live with her, so that's what I'm going to do. I'm not going to live with someone I don't trust, so have fun living alone. Taruto's basically living with Pudding now."

"Kisshu, I-" Pai said, but Kisshu shook his head.

"It's too late, Pai," he said bitterly. "And you know 'sorry' doesn't always make things right. Goodbye." Kisshu teleported, leaving Pai stunned.

Moe and Miwa had watched all this, and now they sensed that Kisshu and Ichigo were no longer on the ship. The twins looked at Pai, just as he buried his face in his hands.

"Pai?" Miwa asked softly. She went and sat next to him, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Kisshu's gone….." Pai whispered.

"You're pretty close with him, aren't you?" Miwa asked.

"Everyone else thinks I'm a zombie…." Pai said softly. "Kisshu's my best friend, and he never thought that; he just teased me about it. And now he's gone. And it's all my fault."

Miwa sighed and looked at Moe, who nodded, guessing her thoughts, and teleported out. "I'm alone now, right?" Pai asked without looking up.

"No," Miwa said. "I'm staying for a while."

"You are?" Pai asked. "Why?"

"You need company, and Lettuce has a family she needs to be there for," Miwa said. "Moe's going to try to convince Kisshu to make up with you, but it might take a while; you know how stubborn he is."

"I'm surprised you're not beating me up for hurting him," Pai said gloomily.

"I know you're sorry you did that, and at least it got things back to normal," Miwa said. Pai just sighed.

Moe teleported back in with a travel bag, and said, "Miwa, I brought some of your stuff. I'm staying on Earth, and I think Ichigo agrees with us, so she and I will work on Kisshu. Call me if you need anything, k?"

"K, thanks Moe," Miwa said. Moe smiled and teleported out. Miwa looked at Pai, and asked, "Do you want me to make something for dinner?"

"Not hungry…." Pai said.

"Alright, let me know if you want something later," Miwa said. Pai just nodded gloomily.

Meanwhile, at Ichigo's house: Ichigo was making dinner, and Kisshu was watching her. "Koneko-chan, did I do the right thing?" he asked suddenly.

"I'm not sure, Kish," Ichigo replied. "I think Pai's going to be pretty sad and lonely, since Taruto only visits, and you moved out. But if that's what you want, then maybe you did do the right thing- at least for you."

Kisshu sighed. "That's not what I want," he said softly. "I just wanted Pai to understand how much he hurt me."

"Well, you did an excellent job," Moe said from behind them. "He's pretty depressed." Suddenly her eyes widened, and she said, "Miwa's calling, and she sounds panicked about something."

"We'd better get to the ship," Ichigo said. "Kish, are you coming?"

"Yes," Kisshu said. He took her hand and teleported, followed by Moe.

Back on the ship, a while earlier: Miwa had been sitting next to Pai when she started to feel sleepy. Before she could figure out why, she fell asleep.

Pai had put her to sleep, and now he was headed to the armory. He went in, and grabbed one of the swords in there, then teleported back to his room. He looked at the sword gloomily, and then stabbed himself through the heart with it.

Meanwhile, Miwa was waking up, and when Pai stabbed himself, she felt it. Concentrating, she saw Pai in his room, a sword in his chest. Panicked, she screamed telepathically, MOE! Come to the ship, now!

She didn't get a response, and was about to try again when she heard teleportation in the main room. She ran out, and saw Moe with Ichigo and Kisshu. "Miwa, what happened?" Ichigo asked worriedly.

"Pai killed himself!" Miwa wailed.

Kisshu, Ichigo, and Moe looked horrified. "Where is he?" Kisshu asked.

"His room," Miwa said. "Do you need me and Moe to get some Mew Aqua?"

"Yes," Kisshu said, and teleported to Pai's room. Ichigo ran after him as Moe and Miwa teleported out.

The twins teleported straight to the basement of Café Mew Mew. To their surprise, no one was down there. They looked at each other, and Moe said telepathically, There should be a safe around here.

The far wall, Miwa said. Let's go, before Blondie realizes we're down here.

Moe nodded, and they went over to the safe. Moe put a hand on the door, and made a pulling motion. The door came off, and Miwa caught it as Moe looked inside. She found a large box, and opened it. It was full of Mew Aqua, and she took a piece out, then closed the box. Suddenly a loud alarm went off, and the twins quickly teleported out.

Meanwhile, Ichigo had reached Pai's room, and found Kisshu kneeling next to Pai. "This is all my fault…." he said sadly when Ichigo put a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm not going to deny that, but at least Moe and Miwa should be back soon," Ichigo said.

Sure enough, they heard teleportation a few minutes later, and Moe and Miwa appeared. Miwa was holding a ball of Mew Aqua. "Kisshu, use this," she said, handing him the Mew Aqua.

Kisshu took it, and pushed it into Pai's injury. Pai began to glow rainbow colors, and the wound started to heal. When it was fully healed, the glow flashed, and when it faded, Pai was breathing again. Miwa put a hand on his chest and said, "He'll be fine when he wakes up, but we should let him sleep."

"I'll stay with him," Kisshu said. "You three can have my room."

"Alright," Moe said. She, Miwa, and Ichigo left as Kisshu put Pai on his bed, then sat down next to the bed in a chair.

Kisshu eventually fell asleep in the chair, and didn't wake up till ten the next morning. Pai was still unconscious, and Kisshu was worried.

Half an hour later, Pai started to stir, but Kisshu didn't notice. He had buried his face in his hands, and was crying.

Pai stirred, and opened his eyes, puzzled as to why he was alive. He heard someone crying nearby, and looked over. He was shocked to see Kisshu sitting next to him, his face buried in his hands. Pai sat up, and asked softly, "Kisshu?"

Kisshu's head shot up. "Pai?" he asked, his voice scratchy from crying. "You're okay?"

"Yeah, but what happened?" Pai asked.

"Moe and Miwa got enough Mew Aqua to save you," Kisshu said. "Which wouldn't have been necessary if I wasn't so stupid…."

"So you don't hate me anymore?" Pai asked.

"No…." Kisshu said sadly. "I'm really sorry, Pai."

"As long as we're still best friends, it's fine," Pai said. "I'm sorry for mind-controlling you."

Kisshu still looked sad, and Pai got up, then put a hand on Kisshu's shoulder and asked, "Are you getting depressed again?"

"Maybe…." Kisshu said gloomily.

"Would a hug make it better?" Pai asked.

"Maybe…." Kisshu said.

Pai hugged Kisshu tightly, feeling him hug back just as tightly. When they broke apart, Pai asked, "Better?"

"Yeah…. thanks, Pai," Kisshu said.

Pai smiled. "Sure," he said. "Should we check on the girls?"

"Yeah, let's go," Kisshu said. "I said they could take my room, but they might be somewhere else."

Pai concentrated, and said, "They appear to be chasing each other around the training room…."

"That sounds FUN!" Kisshu said happily. "Let's go join them!"

"Do I have to?" Pai moaned. Kisshu gave him puppy dog eyes, and he sighed. "Fine…. Let's go chase the insane girls around," he said.

"YAY!" Kisshu said, and dragged Pai off.

Poor, poor, Pai…. I got a request from xAmuxIkutox to continue this story, so I made this. I won't continue after this, though, so I hope you enjoyed what there is.
