Well um Maria and Mirage are different people… wow.
"Okay, so put all you're power into it!" Koichi said. Amana, Koichi, and Asher were in Iona's family dojo. Asher and Koichi were teaching Amana how to fight better. Amana threw a off punch, but got her form right.
"Okay, how about we take a break for a bit." Asher said.
"Good idea." Koichi agreed. Then there was a knock on the door, and it slid open. In the doorway was a man with light blue hair and eyes. He wore a white button up shirt and blue jeans.
"Blue! Why are you here?" Amana exclaimed. Koichi and Asher was highly confused.
"Well, the reason I came is to bring this little one to Amana." Blue said and moved aside. A girl with yellow curly hair and bangs with a pink bow in her hair stepped in. She had brown eyes that were teary and she wore a pink frilly dress and had a hot pink backpack on.
"A-Amana-chan," she said about to burst into tears.
"Ribbon!" Amana exclaimed. Ribbon ran into Amana's arms and burst out into tears.
"I thought you left Ribbon behind~desu wa!" Ribbon said.
"And I must teach you three a lesson." Blue said, getting very serious. "You must not fall in love until this battle is over."
"What?! Okay who the hell do you think you are walking in here and lecturing us?! We just met! I'm sorry but, this is ridiculous! Love is important! Love keeps you going! Love gives you power!" Asher shouted with her hands in fists. Blue held in a laugh, which angered Asher even more.
"Why the hell are you laughing?!" Asher shouted.
"It's just that what you said sounds like something Megumi would say." Blue said with a laugh.
"You knew my mom?" Asher asked calming down.
"Of course I knew her. I supervised her and the other Cures I guess you could say." Blue replied.
"But why can't we fall in love?" Amana asked.
"Love started this…. And it will make things worse." Blue said.
"Woah woah, slow down. What is even going on?" Asher asked.
"Well you see, as far as we know, Queen Chimera was a beautiful angel given to my wife Mirage and I to raise. But sadly, the darkness in her heart had caused her to become a demon." Blue explained.
"But I don't get it, what does Chimera want with Marble?" Asher asked.
"You're gonna have to find that out yourself." Blue replied. Asher let out a sigh.
"What about our moms?" Amana asked.
"Megumi and Hime should be in the Shadow Realm. They're locked away in mirrors…. They're most likely still in their Cure forms since they were away in them." Blue said.
"So… are they okay?" Asher asked shifting in her spot.
"They should be a little drained, but mostly unharmed." Blue replied. "In fact… if you have a mirror I'd be glad to show you them." Blue replied. "Yeah we have one in the hallway." Koichi replied. "I'll go get. I can easily take it off the wall."
Once Koichi had come back he held up the mirror in front of Blue. Asher, Amana, and Ribbon watched as Blue closed his eyes and lightly touched the mirror. A image rippled in the mirror. It was of two coffin shaped mirrors that were wrapped up in red ribbon you could see two female figures. You could just make out their hair….
"This is Hime and Megumi right now." Blue said. Asher reached out her hand to touch the mirror, but it went right through, into the image.
"Careful, this mirror is like a portal now. You could go right into the image and we won't be able to get you out." Blue warned. Asher nodded and reached out and touched the coffin shaped mirror and held back her tears.
Then the door to the dojo burst open, "KOICHI! DID YOU TAKE MY MIRROR!?" Marble shouted standing in the door way.
"Yeah um about that...," Koichi said.
"Why is Blue here?" Marble asked crossing her arms over her chest. "I thought I made myself clear, I'm done being a cure."
"That's not what I'm here for." Blue simply replied.
"Whatever. I'm taking my mirror back and leaving." Marble said grabbing the mirror and leaving, slamming the door behind her.
"Before we do anything else, we have to work on getting Marble back on the team and finding the last cure." Blue explained.
"Jeez, this is gonna be hard then." Asher complained. "Marble is so stubborn and she's distant too."
"Well you just gotta get to know her... she's really nice and sweet... and she may not seem like it but she's really sensitive." Amana said awkwardly shifting in her spot. "She's the kind of person who cares about others and has a lot of emotions, but she hides them by acting cold and distant..." Amana trailed off.
"So is she like Tsundere or Kuudere?" Asher asked. Koichi burst out laughing and Amana face palmed herself.
"Er- I uh... sure I guess." Amana replied.
"Oh jeez, you're spot on with that Asher!" Koichi said through his laughs.
"Oh! Oh! Who's the last cure, Blue?" Amana exclaimed.
Blue thought to himself for a moment before responding with, "You'll just have to find that out for yourself." Just at that moment there was a loud screech.
"A Terribad!" Asher said and ran outside with the others following behind her.
"Wait! Asher-kun!" Ribbion shouted running after Asher. "Er, Asher-chan! Take these!" Ribbon said correcting herself and she tossed Asher three cards.
"Thanks!" Asher exclaimed. "Pretty Cure! Rolling Mirror Change!" Asher transformed into her usual Cure form and then pulled out the cards Ribbon had given her. She inserted them into the PreBrace and shouted, "Flower Tap!" Her hair went up into two pony tails and a green leotard with a multicolored skirt decorated with pink roses appeared. A flower crown with multicolored roses appeared on her head and white tights with black tap shoes followed. She landed on the ground and then tapped her feet a bit before doing her final pose.
"I think you need to get happiness back in your life!" Charm exclaimed.
"Charm, look!" Amana said pointing to the mirror. The mirror had encased Marble, and the Terribad was her bag.
"Marble!" Charm gasped and then began her attack, "Flowery Beat!" Charm exclaimed and danced creating a beat with her taps and flowers circled around her. When she stopped dancing, the flowers pelleted the terribad to death, cleansing it. The bag fell to the ground, papers and photos flying every where. The mirror broken and Marble fell out. Charm de-transformed and Marble awoke and quickly looked study her surroundings before frantically grabbing her back and picking up her notes and photos.
"Here, let me help." Asher said going to pick up a photo, but Marble swatted her hand away.
"I don't need your help." She said flatly and grabbed the last few notes and then got up and ran.
"What's her problem?" Koichi mumbled.
"Oh, she forget a few pictures." Asher said and picked up the two pictures left behind. "EH?!" Asher exclaimed looking at the two pictures.
"What?" Amana asked and took the pictures and had the same reaction.
"Blue, did you know about this?" Amana asked holding up the pictures.
"Yes." Blue simply replied.
"You should have mentioned this!" Asher said. "We're gonna have to get Marble to do some talking. Come on Amana, we need to get changed and go home." Asher added and went back inside with Amana following.
Later that day, Amana and Asher were in their room. Asher studied the picture with a blush on her cheeks. The picture was of Marble kissing another girl, who resembled Queen Chimera, so the girls assumed the girl in the picture was Chikako. Marble had long hair in the picture, and she only had one piercing on her ear at that time. The other girl had curly red hair and a red heart on her cheek. She had long lashes and pale skin and rosy red cheeks. She looked beautiful and perfect.
"Hey Asher…." Amana trailed off.
"Yeah?" Asher asked still staring at the picture.
"Do you… love anyone? Like the way Marble loves Chikako?" Amana asked.
"U-Um…," Asher stuttered and her face turned red.
"Do you like Koichi?" Amana asked.
"Whaaaat? N-No, heh-heh!" Asher replied with a nervous laugh.
"You are a terrible liar." Amana said.
"She gets is from her mom!" Seiji shouted from outside their bedroom door.
"Dad! Don't eavesdrop!" Asher shouted.
"It's true though!" Seiji shouted as he walked away.
"Shut up!" Asher shouted back.
"So you do like Koichi?" Amana asked.
"Yes… but don't tell anyone! Not even him!" Asher said.
"I won't tell a soul!" Amana promised.
"Is there anyone you like?" Asher asked putting the picture down.
"You." Amana replied.
"E-Eh?!"
"I'm just kidding! Maybe." Amana said whispering the last part.
"Huh?"
"Nothing!" Amana exclaimed and hugged Asher.
"Oh whatever." Asher said hugging Amana back.
The next morning, when the girls were eating breakfast, Seiji handed the girl each a bag.
"Oh jeez! School!" Asher complained.
"Huh?" Amana asked.
"School starts tomorrow." Asher replied.
"That's the one thing you don't have in common with your mother. Your attitude towards school." Seiji said. Asher rolled her eyes at this comment.
"Come on, Amana. Let's go put this stuff away." Asher said and spun around on her heel and went back upstairs to her room with Amana following not to far behind.
"Why don't you like school?" Amana asked.
"Because… the people there are always so… so… so mean." Asher replied. "Come one. Let's go find Marble." Asher said changing the topic. Asher ran down the stairs and avoided her dad. She shoved on her shoes and ran out of the house, and Amana ran to catch up with her. Once they were almost to Marble's house, trouble came.
"Hey Asher!" A voice shouted.
"Run." Asher whispered to Amana.
"Why?" Amana questioned.
"Just run!" Asher shouted and grabbed Amana's hand and ran as fast as she could, but a rock hit her in the head and she fell onto the ground, but caught herself with her hands.
"Asher!" Amana gasped.
"Move aside!" A male voice said shoving Amana out of the way.
"We have unfinished business with this one." The boy said.
"Fuck off Riku! I don't have time for your shit!" Asher said getting up off the ground.
"Norio, Teru! Come on, we gotta finish what we started!" Riku shouted. Two boys came up behind Asher and then Riku punched Asher, knocking her to the ground. Norio kicked her and she coughed up blood. The three boys kicked Asher till she started screaming.
"Stop! Please stop! It hurts!" She cried out.
"So you finally gave in?" Riku taunted. He kicked her in the stomach and she coughed more blood up. "Go on! Scream! I want to hear you scream in pain!"
"Stop! Let her go!" Amana shouted with tears falling from her eyes.
"Shut up and stay there!" Norio shouted at Amana.
"Please stop hurting her!" Amana cried.
"He said shut up!" Teru shouted slapping Amana and she screamed.
"Hey! What are you doing?!" A familiar female voice shouted.
"M-Marble!" Amana cried.
"What are you gonna do about it?" Riku taunted. Marble grabbed his arm and slung him over her shoulder.
"Anyone else?" Marble asked. Norio and Teru ran and Riku got up and ran after.
"Thank you Marble!" Amana cried throwing her arms around Marble.
"Not now." Marble said and lightly pushed Amana off and picked up Asher. "We gotta get help. She's not in very good condition." Marble said. Asher had blood stained lips and blood on her cheek. She was bleeding and bruised all over. She had a black eye and her breathing was slow and quiet. "I'll bring her to my house." Marble said and ran all the way to her house with Amana close behind and Asher in her arms.
Marble burst through the door and put Asher on the couch.
"Mom!" Marble shouted. Iona came running from the kitchen into the room.
"What happened?!" Iona asked.
"That doesn't matter just help her!" Marble shouted. Iona quickly ran out of the room and returned with a first aid box. Iona took out the cotton swabs, bandaids, a few bandage wraps, and some rubbing alcohol. She wiped the blood off Asher's face and applied rubbing alcohol to all her cuts and put bandaids on them. She wrapped a bandage around her ankle and lifted up her shirt to treat the large wound on her stomach and the ones on her back. Iona wrapped bandage around her stomach and then put the supplies away.
"Tell me when she wakes up. I need to call Seiji." Iona said and left the room. Amana reached into Asher's pockets on her shorts and pulled the photos out.
"You left these behind yesterday." Amana said handing Marble the photos.
"Did you look at them?" Marble asked staring at the photos.
"Yes…." Amana replied.
"Now do you see why I gave up being a Cure?" Marble asked.
"Yeah… but… sometimes you need to hurt the one you love to open their eyes." Amana said brushing Asher's hair out of her face and a small smile spread across Amana's face.
"You love Asher, don't you?" Marble asked.
"A little." Amana replied still smiling.
"Kiss her." Marble said nudging Amana in the side.
"What?! No!" Amana said blushing.
"Come on! It'll be like a fairy tale when the knight kisses the princess and awakes her from a deep slumber." Marble said.
"You kiss her!" Amana said.
"I have a girlfriend you kiss her!" Marble said.
"That reminds me!" Amana said changing the subject. "What happened to Chikako?"
Marble stayed silent for a moment and then tears started rolling down her cheeks.
"It was my fault." Marble cried. "People made fun of her for who she was. And she let her inner demons take over and, and, and I couldn't stop her." Marble explained through her tears. "She wants revenge for what every said and did to her."
"It's not your fault." Asher said weakly. "We'll help you get her back. You just need to help us as well." Asher said. "So… what do you say?"
Marble stayed silent for a moment. "Okay. But I can't turn into a cure anymore. My cards were destroyed." Marble replied. "But I'll do my best."
"Good." Asher said with a smile. Then the door opened and Seiji rushed over to Asher with Ribbon following behind.
"Asher! Oh please don't ever get hurt again, I've been worried sick about you!" Seiji said hugging Asher.
"I'm sorry dad." Asher said softly. "I'll start defending myself…."
"Good." Seiji said.
"Hey, I have a plan." Marble said with a smile.
I hope that wasn't too short! I know this is late I've been busy and school finally ended. Also, Iona is mine *^* MINE! Hehe! I hope this was interesting!
