I'm back! With avengence, just kidding :P. Here's the next chapter.

Chapter Three: Never Told

Momo, since she started living in Tokyo, has stayed in a giant penthouse on the center of the city. She flopped onto her giant bed and put her hands behind her head. "I don't know how long I can keep this up. Sooner or later, he'll figure out I'm a mew mew and..." She trailed off for a moment. "...and, who knows?" She looked back on the fight at the harbor.

"You look familiar, have we met before?"

"At Tokyo Tower, remember?"

"I meant somewhere else."

She closed her eyes. I can't tell him. Even if we were best friends then, I'm his enemy now and he doesn't know it. She opened her eyes again. "But it I keep this a secret from him..." She sat up and walked over to the balcony. When she opened the door she was greeted by a gentle breeze. "The air feels good." She leaned against the railing and stared into the city. "I wonder if he's out there..."

---- ---- ---- ----

Ichigo had just finished her phone call with Masaya and little hearts could be seen around her. He asked her out again. "I can't wait!" The phone rang again. When She answered, it was Mint. "Mint! Is something wrong? I see... Ok... I'm sure she'll turn up during a fight... positive... Bye." She hung up. "I hope Momo is really ok."

Masha sprang up. "Momo OK. Momo OK." Ichigo smiled. "You're right Masha." She walked over to her bed and turned out the lights.

---- ---- ---- ----

The next day while Ichigo was at school, Momo decided to walk over. "I'll just wait for her to get out and I'll walk her to the cafe." The bell rang which indicated the end of the day. As everyone walked out they saw Momo standing by the entrance in plain sight. Everyone ran over to her with pens and autograph books. When Ichigo walked out of the building she noticed the massive mob and knew Momo had to be in the middle of it. everyone kept asking her questions like "whens your next concert?" or "how did you become such a big star?" and "why did you come to Tokyo?" she became over whelmed.

"Ok, that's enough!" Momo recognized Ichigo's voice. "Momo, what are you doing here?"

"Well, I wanted to walk my cousin over to the cafe is all." Everyone was in shock, no one knew Ichigo was her cousin. Now she'll be receiving SO much attention for a while. Momo took her hand and they started walking towards the cafe.

"Momo-chan."

"Yes?"

"Is there another reason why you came to Tokyo?" Momo began feeling nervous. "I mean, not just to meet me." She couldn't tell Ichigo her feelings.

"Nope, I wanted to meet my cousin." She lied with a giant smile. "Let's get to the cafe before we're noticed." They started sprinting. As they approached the cafe, Momo let go of Ichigo and ran off. "See ya later!" She waved to her and ran out of sight.

Lettuce was outside and saw Momo run by. "Ichigo-san, is everything alright?" She nodded. "Do you think she'll join us someday?"

"It depends on her." They walked inside.

---- ---- ---- ----

Momo stopped in the park. "Phew, if I stuck Ryo might have kidnapped me and would make me stay." She walked over to the fountain and looked in the watter. She sat by the side and took out a sketch book. She started drawing what happened that night before Kish and her were separated. Pudding was taking a short cut through the park and saw Momo drawing. She walked over and leaned over her shoulder to see what she was drawing.

"That boy looks like Kish!" Momo turned around and was startled to see Pudding standing there. She fell over and landed in the watter.

"No, don't be silly! It's nothing, seriously, it's nothing!" Pudding looked into her eyes and shook her head. Momo sighed. "It is something." She stepped out of the fountain. "Pudding-chan, can you keep a secret?" She nodded. "You have to promise you won't tell any of the others!" She nodded again.

"Ok. You see, I knew Kish long before I came here. Six years ago he arrived in my home. When I met him he was really nice and funny. I was all alone until he came, I had no other friends." She looked at her feet.

"Keep going, I want to know what happened next." Pudding seemed to be enjoying her story.

"Ok, for the entire time my parents were away he was always there for me. But one night after we went to a festival on the far side of the town he was taken by the army. When he was gone, I started to cry." Tears began to roll down her face. "My parents were behind the whole thing, I nearly killed them for taking him away." Pudding got scared.

"How did you do that?"

"I was a mew mew when I was nine, I used my powers against them." She looked at her pendant. "He told me to wait for him, I waited for three months and he didn't come. I ran away to find him. Along the way, when I turned thirteen I was found by my manager after he heard me singing at a cafe in Washington DC. That explains how I became a pop star I guess." She turned over to Pudding again. "Remember, you can't tell anyone."

"I promise!" Pudding stood up. "I have to get to the cafe, I'll see you later?" Momo nodded. Pudding smiled and walked away. When Momo was alone once more she looked back into the watter of the fountain and sighed. A small chill ran down her spine. What's this feeling? Could it be... She heard something in the distance. Yup, it has to be! She grabbed her pendant and started running toward the sound. "MEW MEW PEACH! METAMORPHO-SIS!" Mew Peach was on her own with this fight now.

---- ---- ---- ----

Ryo looked around at everyone. "Why do you look so down?"

"Momo-chan decided to work on her own." Mint said bluntly. Ryo turned toward her and sneered.

"She's too ignorant anyways." Pudding ran through the doors after she heard Ryo say what he did.

"SHE'S NOT IGNORANT! She's going through a rough time right now." Everyone stared at her.

"What do you mean Pudding-san?"

"She wants to find her only friend from when she was a kid." She happily answered Lettuce's question.

"I see." Zakuro looked to the side. "So that must be the reason she came." Ichigo looked at Zakuro.

Keiichiro ran through the doors to the back room. "A mew mew just transformed on the other side of the city! That means there's an attack from the aliens!"

"It must be Momo onee-san!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Alright, Tokyo Mew Mew. GO!" The girls ran out the door and started transforming.

"MEW MEW STRAWBERRY!-"
"MEW MEW MINT!-"
"MEW MEW LETTUCE!-"
"MEW MEW PUDDING!-"
"MEW MEW ZAKURO!-"

"METAMORPHO-SIS!"

The mew mews were off!

---- ---- ---- ----

Momo had finally arrived at the site. "No one's here. Where'd they go?" She studied the area. (if I didn't mention earlier, Momo's animal is a snow leopard) Momo's ears started twitching. She looked down and felt something under her feet. She jumped out of the way and a kimera anima had just arrived. "Why am I not surprised."

"You don't have to be." All three aliens; Kish, Pai, and Tart appeared. "But this time you don't have your friends to help you, and when they get here it's be too late!" The kimera anima opened it's mouth and started making a loud noise. Momo covered her ears, considering she has sensitive ears.

Kish stared at her and stared seeing another memory from six years ago. There were fireworks being shot off and Momo was crouched down in the corner of her room with her eyes closed and her hands over her ears.

"Momo, you alright?"

"I hate fireworks! They scare me."

He walked over and sat next to her.

"I'll protect you from them."

Momo started to fall to her knees. The kimera anima hit her with one blow and sent her flying against a tree. Kish's eyes widened and put his hands on his head as if he had a headache. "Kish, you alright?"

"Go find the other mew mews with the monster." Tart and Pai stared at him. "I want to take this one myself." They both nodded slightly. Pai and Tart took the kimera anima and started to find the others. When Momo regained her conciousness Kish was there next to her. "You're awake." She tried to trip him but he was able to avoid it and pinned her to the ground. "Not so fast."

"Why do you always have me to yourself?" Momo started shouting. "I'm nothing special to you!"

---- ---- ---- ----

The others were half way there. "She should we somewhere around here." Suddenly the kimera anima came out of the ground.

"Hello again." Pai and Tart appeared.

"What have you done to Mew Peach!" Mint screamed at the two aliens.

"Don't worry about her, Kish will take care of her by himself while we take you." Pudding started to feel uneasy. Will he remember Momo onee-san? She let her guard down and was captured by the monster.

"RIBBON ZAKURO SPEAR!" Zakuro was able to free Pudding.

"RIBBON MINT ECHO!"
"RIBBON PUDDING RING INFERNO!"

Mint's arrow hit first then Pudding trapped the energy around the kimera anima. Now Ichigo had to deliver the final blow. "RIBBON STRAWBERRY SURPRISE!"

---- ---- ---- ----

Kish sneered at Mew Peach's question. He pushed her down harder and his grip tightened. "You, since you came here I've been remembering things I've been trying to forget!" Mew Peach started wincing a bit. "You keep reminding me of someone I lost!" She felt something hit her face. She opened her eyes and saw Kish was crying. "When I lost her I tried to find her and take her with me but I was too late. She was gone before I could come for her."

"Are you crying?" He tried to keep his tears back but it was hard for him to do so.

"I lost someone I loved!" Momo's eye's widened. She knew they were best friends but she never thought he loved her. "I loved her ever since I first met her, she was always so happy and acted as if I was her only friend in the world." Because you were. "When I promised her I would some back to her and take her away I was going to take her where she couldn't be found by anyone so we could be together!"

Momo felt her heart pounding in her chest. Listening to his words made her want to tell him that she was here ad wanted to go with him. Her mouth stayed closed. But, I'm right here, I've always been here.

"Kish..." Momo finally gained the courage to talk. "...about the girl, the one you're searching for." She looked off to the side then looked directly into his eyes. "I think she's still looking for you." She blurred out the wrong words. "I know she is, she might be here in Tokyo actually." He squeezed her shoulders tighter. "OW!"

"RIBBON STRAWBERRY SURPRISE!" Kish was knocked off as Ichigo found them there.

"Ichigo-chan!" Momo got up and grabbed her fans.

"Hey keneko-chan." Kish disappeared.

"Where'd he go?" Momo started jerking her head in different directions. Kish reappeared in back of Ichigo.

"I haven't been giving you enough attention." Ichigo turned around and scratched him on his right cheek. Momo let out a small squeek but luckily no one heard her. "As usual, I wouldn't expect any less from you." Momo started to feel weird inside.

"RIBBON PEACH TORNADO!" She sent an attack at Kish, she didn't know why, she was probably jealous. "Leave Ichigo alone!" The other mew mews arrived having destroyed the kimera anima.

Kish sneered at Momo and threw one of his dragon swords at her. She managed to dodge it. "SHUT UP!" She guessed he was still pissed off that she started walking about herself in Tokyo.

"Kish, come on. You can play with them later!" Tart appeared behind him. Kish bowed his head and left. "We'll get you next time!" Tart was gone.

"Well, I guess that's that for now." When she turned to face everyone, they were all glaring at her, except for Pudding. "Um, is something wrong?"

Mint walked up to her and slapped her across the face. "Of course we're mad! We know all about you and Kish!" Momo's eyes widened. "You like him a lot! He's the enemy, you can't say you like him if he's trying to destroy everyone!" Pudding ran over to Momo.

"I didn't mean to tell them, it just slipped out." Momo started to walked away.

"Hey! I'm not done talking to you!" She turned her head and tears were streaming down her face. Mint saw her tears and just stared.

"YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND! YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND AT ALL! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" She jumped out of sight. All five mews watched her in silence.

---- ---- ---- ----

Later that evening she was still upset from after the fight. She was sobbing into one of her pillows. "They weren't there, they wouldn't understand." She wiped away her tears as the door started to open. Momo's manager walked in. "Momo, honey. I've got a concert set up for you tomorrow." She turned her head and sighed.

"Alright, lay it on me."

"Ok, you're gonna perform here (can't think of a place), it's on the south side of Tokyo. Here are the songs you'll sing." He handed her the lyrics to some songs:

Sakura Drop
Wonderful Journey
Sakura Kiss
Aisubeki Ashita (Lovable Tomorrow)
and Real Emotions

"You're joking right? I've sang these songs at every concert, I'm getting sick of them!"

"Sorry, that's what you're doing." He looked over at the desk on the other side of the room. "Unless you sang that one." He pointed to the lyrics for Melodies of Life, the song she sang at the festival six years ago.

"NO! Not that one!" She snatched the songs from his hands and put them on her night stand. "I'll look over them later." The manager nodded then exited the room. She stared at Melodies of Life. I can't sing that song again.
