"Ki-Kisshu?"

"Miss me kitten?"

Ichigo's right hand was clasped againt the slight v-neck of her uniform in surprise. Her mind raced frantically. Kisshu's here. The thought didn't seem real. Is he here alone? No that would be too risky. I've got to get to Keiichiro and Ryou they will know what's going on….the meeting! That's what it was for! The computer must have shown Kisshu here, a ship through the atmosphere. Which means the rest of them are probably here…..if Kisshu is in the café could the others be….?

"NO!" Ichigo yelled, rushing for the door. This was just a distraction, the other mews must be in trouble! The muscles in her legs pushed harder and Kisshu's arm almost felt like steel as it snaked around her waist. Her futile struggles were met with an amused chuckle.

"What's wrong?" the chuckling voice asked, "You don't actually think we came all the way back to Earth just to harm the mews, do you?" His eyes sparkled at this, "I'm flattered!" They didn't come back to hurt us? Wait, we? So she was right, the others were here! Kisshu was probably just a distraction, leaving her friends down in the basement….Elbowing Kisshu in the ribs, Ichigo's voice raised again,

"You actually think I would believe that?!" Before he could answer, Ichigo was out the door and flying down the stairs to the basement. She whipped this door open yelling, "Everyone watch out! The aliens are back and the-" her words cut of as her eyes focused on the small room. The wall across from her was alight with computer screens and other technology she couldn't put a name to and it was dark and dank as usual but that wasn't what had caught her eyes. Blushing a scarlet red Ichigo met the confused expressions of her friends, Pudding to the left of the room, Ryou and Keiichiro in the middle and Lettuce and Mint clustered to the right. Also Pai and Tart. Not hurting anyone, not causing trouble, just floating there with the same dumbfounded expression that must be on her face. From the group to right Mint's voice took on a sarcastic edge,

"Really? I hadn't noticed." She rolled her eyes and everyone one else unthawed from their shock. Ryou pinched the bridge of his nose in exasperation.

"Yes, believe it or not Ichigo, I actually had a reason for calling this meeting." A laugh shimmered in behind her, she whirled to see Kisshu as he spoke.

"I tried to tell her." He continued to laugh, His expression was still amused but held a bit of sympathy. Yeah, sympathy for me making a complete fool of myself, I chigo frowned at herself. The blue mew's sarcastic tone picked up again, with what Ichigo thought sounded a bit like jealousy. What would Mint be jealous of her for?

"She always has had trouble with listening."

"Har Har" Ichigo snapped.

"Okay everyone, calm down." Keiichiro's voice sounded, "Ichigo didn't know the aliens weren't here to harm us and we should probably get to the point." As if his words had been a signal, Pai floated to the center of the room, Tart and Kisshu in tow. The atmosphere seemed to become one of business. All eyes landed on the tallest alien as he spoke.

"As I'm sure you have all realized, we did not return to hurt you. Actually, it's quite the opposite." He let the words sink in before he continued, surely they wouldn't understand the trio coming to protect them. "Keiichiro, Ryou" Pai nodded to each of the males as he said there name, "I'm also sure you've both come to realize we are not the only race of aliens" The shock that appeared in the mews eyes was obvious, even Zakuro, who was normally what one might call somber seemed shocked by his statement. Keiichiro and Ryou however only bobbed their heads once in agreement, their expressions serious.

"A year ago when we took the mew aqua back to our home planet, it became something extraordinary. Even more extraordinary then this planet, the blue planet, on which you reside. Our home is consumed in forests now, abundant in it's fresh water, more beautiful in itself more than we could have ever hoped" As Pai spoke his voice became filled with pride, so overly content with their new home. They had saved their race, proven themselves hero's and in that became a new being. No they hadn't became all powerful or something, that isn't what made them different. They had excepted good into their heart, overcoming Deep Blue' obsession, that is what made them a new being. Though Ichigo was sure something not-so-good was about to be announced, her and her friends couldn't help but grin at Pai's pleasure, and the smiles that lit his comrades faces. Though he was still overjoyed with their planet's progress, Pai's expression dimmed.

"That is why another race of aliens, one we consider an enemy race, has come after our planet." Before anyone could react he continued, "Though do not fret for us, our military is like none you have ever seen." The proud smile lit Pai's face yet again, but just like before, it dimmed. "We fought them off again and again, they always left empty handed. Realizing they cannot get their hands on our home, they have resorted to taking over second best. The blue planet." The tree aliens looked everyone in the eyes as Kish finished Pai's words,

"Your planet."

Okay, so I know it could definitely be considered a cliff hanger and it could seriously be longer but I had to finish it quick because, I know some of you will be mad at me for this, I'm giving some serious thought to discontinuing the story. Yes, I know that ticks a lot of people off but I just don't feel like I'm doing such a great job. It feels like I'm just typing for no reason. I haven't made the final decision yet but most likely it will be discontinued. So this is very possibly the last chapter. Thank you so very much if you have read my story so far, I really appreciate it. I appreciate even more those of you who took the time to review. I can't tell you how much it means to me that you've stayed with me this long ^_^ So, I'm sorry I'm probably ending it L but I just want you all to know I thank you very much!!!! 3
