Chapter Seven: Chora's Double Trouble!

Chora and Zukamari both walked towards their school as they laughed and joked with each other, then Chora twirled and swung her school bag forward as Zzukamari watched, then walked through the gates as Chora waved to Akito, who smiled and ran towards her.

"Ohio, Chora-Chan. You walking into school with Zukamari?" Akito asked, and Chora blushed before shrugging, then she suddenly gasped when she saw that Zukamari had left her all alone with Akito, and he noticed as well then winked.

"Ah, no worries. I'll walk you in, come on Chora-Chan" he said, and he walked into the school gates as Chora folowed, and Chora blushed as Akito gave her a small smile and Chora sighed happily, then she suddenly hit her head on a glass door and fell on the ground. She had walked into the school doors in a daze.

"Hm? Chora-Chan? Are you okay?" Akito asked, holding out a hand to help Chora up as she rubbed her nose, tears running down her face as Akito helped her up, then she suddenly smiled and gave him a small nod before he gave her a nod, and started to walk away. Then Chora put her hands over her nose and followed Akito into the building.

"Owww..." she cried as she ran after Akito, and up the stairs to their class room. Then she walked over to Zukamari's desk and they started to talk to each other as other girls glared at them, then their sensai came in and Chora ran over to her desk near Akito's, and their sensai looked at them sternly, then he smiled.

"Class! We have a new student at Sea Water High, and I would all like you to say hello to... Ilula Mashawa!" the sensai cried out, and Ilula came into the classroom as Zukamari and Chora gasped when they saw that she resembled the alien who could speak some spanish. She smiled and waved.

"Hello... As you know, my name is Ilula Mashawa. I'm originally from America, but I can speak fluent Japanese as you can see. I hope to be a big help to the school and I want to make lots of friends. I hope you all accept me." Ilula said happily, and nearly everyone but Chora and Zukamari smiled and clapped as Ilula bowed, then made her way to the desk that the sensai had instructed her to go to.

Ilula passed Chora's desk, and she grinned evily to Chora and Chora gasped as Ilula passed her, then sat down at the desk near to Zukamari, who's eyes widened and she sent stares over to Chora who bit her lip and gave worried stares back. Zukamari then looked out the window as Akito looked over at Ilula, and he smiled.

"Hey, Chora-Chan. She looks like that mermaid I keep telling you about. The one who's my true love." Akito whispered, and Chora gasped as Akito stared over at Ilula and waved, while she waved back. Chora couldn't believe her ears. Akito, her only love, was falling for her enemy!

"Oh it's terrible, Zukamari-chan! Akito has fallen for Ilula... Our enemy! How could he! He thinks she's the mermaid he fell for! I feel so unhappy!" Chora cried, tears falling down her face as Zukamari embraced her while they sat under the tree as everyone else had their lunch. And Chora knew that Akito was eating his lunch with Ilula.

This made Chora really sad.

"Chora-san... Don't cry. You should just ignore it. He'll soon realise that she isn't his mermaid if he follows his heart, like I told him to. If he doesn't... Then he's a fool." Zukamari explained kindly, and Chora sniffed then smiled and hugged Zukamari. Then she saw Akito running over and Chora wuickly wiped her tears away.

"Hey! Chora-Chan! Zukamari, wanna eat lunch with us?" Akito asked as he smiled down at Chora, and she smiled. He had remembered her! Then Ilula ran up and grabbed Akito's arm and stared into his eyes with a dazzling smile.

"Akito-o! Come with me come with me! I want you to show me around!" Ilula cried, and she pulled Akito away and Chora stared as Akito followed Ilula to the school buildings, and Chora felt tears in her eyes as she stared at Akito, his arm linked with Ilula's.

Then Ilula turned around and sent an evil smile over at Chora and Zukamari, then she put her head on Akito's shoulder and smiled sweetly up at him as he looked at her and smiled. Ilula wanted to break Chora into pieces. And she was doing it right now!

"Chora... I'm going to take you home now. I don't care if school goes on for three more hours. We're going now!" Zukamari said, and she pulled Chora up and they walked down the school path and out of the open gates while people watched, and a year head stood in their way and glared at them.

"Hey! You can't just walk out of school! You have another three hourse and 50 minutes till school ends! Now get back to your lunch tables!" the year head yelled, but Zukamari glared at them and took Chora's hand in hers.

"I can. I will. And I'm doing that just now. Come on Chora-chan. Let's go." Zukamari said, and she passed the year head with another glare, and he was suddenly scared of Zukamari as Chora and Zukamari walked out of the school and down the road, onto their usual spot. The beach.

Zukamari sat down on the sand and Chora sat beside her, sighing as Zukamari breathed in the air, then stared at her best friend and she smiled a little, then she lost her hidden smile when she saw how sad poor Chora was.

"Aw, Chora-chan don't be sad! If you start to cry then I'll get all emotional and stuff, and lone wolfs can't be emotional!" Zukamari cried out, and Chora sniffed then smiled as she gave Zukamari a nod and she wrapped her arms around her knees as she smiled.

"Hei. Gomen, Zukamari-Chan. It's just... Akito-san. I-I..." Chora started, but tears filled in her eyes and she shook her head and she closed her eyes. Zukamari wrapped her arms around Chora and patted her friends head lovingly as she embraced her while Chora cried silently to herself.

Chora loved Akito. But he had fallen for her enemy. Chora didn't know what to do now, she was lost. Then, she heard a roar and she looked up to see the waves growing high. She gasped as Zukamari stood up and stared in shock. Chora stood up aswell and threw her arm over her eyes to shield them as the water fell on them, and their tails appeared as Zukamari tried to look around for the culprit of the massive wave.

"I don't really need this right now! I'm going through a bad patch at the minute!" Chora cried out, and then she heard Zukamari scream and she turned to see her best friend in trouble! Telaia had caught Zukamari in a bubble, Chora gasped and tried to swim over to her, but was pushed back by an invisible force.

"Arrrgh! Zukamari!" Chora yelled, and Zukamari tried to brake open the bubble, but she fell back and cried out in pain, then she suddenly fell and Chora gasped, tears in her eyes as Telaia laughed.

"Die! Let her die! Unless... You battle my sister! She has what you want!" Telaia cried out, laughing as Chora gasped, then looked up at the surface of the water. She knew what Telaia meant, Ilula had Akito, and to save Zukamari, Chora had to battle Ilula, she turned to Telaia with tears in her eyes.

"Demo!... Zukamari I'll be back! Don't hurt her, Telaia!" Chora cried out, turning around and swimming upwards as she gasped for air, tears still in her eyes, she looked around for Akito and Ilula, and she saw Ilula with Akito's arm around her shoulders, walking along the beach. Chora gasped and duckked behind a rock.

"So... You should really meet Chora and Zukamari! Even if Zukamari is a little scary, to begin with!" Akito laughed, but Ilula looked disgusted, then she saw that Chora was behind a rock, and she grinned to herself as she turned back to Akito and smiled.

"Yeah... But come on, lets go. I think that Chora is kind of... evil." Ilula said, and Akito stopped walking and stared at her. Then, Chora came up to tem in her human form, her eyes red from crying. Only Ilula noticed as Akito turned towards Chora and smiled, Ilula glared.

"Hiya! Chora-Chan, you know Ilula-San?" Akito asked, and Chora nodded, she stared at Ilula who grinned, and raised a palm up to the height of her shoulder as Chora gasped and widened her eyes. Akito didn't notice as he smiled at her, then Ilula's eyes turned red and she grinned,

"Solera!" Ilula yelled, and Chora felt the ground shake underneath her and so did Akito as he jumped out of the way. Ilula screamed and so did Chora as the ground suddenly gave way and she screamed as she fell into the sand pit, closing her eyes, but then someone caught her and she opened her eyes, looking up.

It was Akito! He was holding her to keep her from falling! Chora gasped as she stared at Akito while Ilula stared, then glared at Chora.

"Chora! Hold on! I won't let go of you!" Akito yelled out, and Ilula suddenly started to shake his shoulder vigourusly, but Akito pushed her away and she screamed, falling on the ground. She stared in shock as Akito tried hauling Chora up by himself, Chora couldn't believe it!

"NO! AKITO SHE'S NOT WORTH IT!" Ilula cried out as the wind started to blow, but Akito didn't listen to her. Chora climbed up the rest of the way, she was crying when she sat on the ground as Akito put his arms around her. He did love her! Well, Mewmaid Melody, at least...

"AKITO-O!" Ilula cried out as she watched the wind blow as Akito held onto Chora tightly in an embrace, Chora cried into his shoulder as he held onto her tightly, and protectively. Ilula couldn't believe her eyes!

"Akito-Kun! I thought you loved me-e...!" Ilula cried, running towards himas she cried out loud, but she was suddenly pushed back again and she howled loudly, Akito turned to glare at her sharply and Ilula's eyes widened in shock as he glared at her coldly.

"No! Don't come near me! I was a fool to think that you were her! Keep away from me, it just seems like you want to kill Chora-Chan!" Akito yelled, and he picked Chora up bridal style as she shivered, she was shaking vigurously from her encounter with falling. Akito walked past Ilula as she gasped and stared after him.

He turned to look at her as Chora closed her eyes. Ilula shook under his cold stare.

"I won't let anything happen to Chora... I don't know why, but... she just... She seems to be like her! I love Chora! Nothing can stop me from loving her!" Akito cried out, and he ran from Ilula as she stared at him running, then her knee's buckled together and she fell on the ground.

Her plan had failed.

Ilula returned to where Thelia and Zukamari were, she was defeated and angry. Telaia grinned and folded her arms, thinking that Ilula had scored a victory.

Ilula's glare proved her wrong. She frowned then turned to her only sister and floated towards her as Zukamari watched, trying to find oxygen in the bubble, she was going to die if Chora didn't come!

"What happened! I thought that you'd make the Melody brat fall down a sand hole! She would have died and we wouldn't have another brat to worry about! What went wrong?" Telaia yelled angrily, waving her arms about as Ilula floated past her and grunted.

"Yeah, it would have worked if Akito-Kun didn't decide to save her!" Ilula snapped, and Telaia stared at her sister and gasped, shaking her head, then she turned to glare at Zukamari, who was trying to find oxygen still, but she couldn't. Ilula folded her arms.

"I thought you stole him off of her? You said he had fallen for you and that he was ignoring her!" Telaia yelled angrily, and Zukamari gasped, they had planned for Akito to be snatched away by Ilula! Was he such a fool that he had fallen for it? Zukamari listened carefully.

"I did! Well... I thought I did... But he proved me wrong! He- he pushed me away, saying that he would never ever let anything happen to Chora! He said he loved her! But... How can he love her and a mermaid? He's confused, he thinks he's fallen for two people!" Ilula said, nearly close to tears because she had failed her sister.

Thelaia glared at her then at Zukamari.

"How can he love two people? They are the same person... He doesn't know, he doesn't know that Chora is also a Mewmaid. He will be confused that he loves Chora... Right after dumping that stupid human Lina... Stupid humans!" Thelaia said like it was venom, then she grinned as she stared over at Zukamari, who was listening. She cackled.

Thelaia grinned and swam over to Zukamari as Ilula folded her arms and grumbled under her breath, while Thelaia grinned at the glaring Zukamari who's hands were against the bubble.

Where was Chora?

"Hm. Your friend, Chora, is not here to save the day, like always. She's unconcious! She won't be awake for some time... My useless sister seemed to do something right for once," Thelaia said in spite, turning to look at Ilula who turned around and swam to a nearby rock, Thelaia laughed,

"See, Ilula sometimes regrets what she does, but that's because she's pathetic!" Thelaia said spitefully, and Ilula gasped as she heard that, then bowed her head sadly. She hated what Thelaa said about her! But she could do nothing about it, sometimes, Thelaia forgot that Ilula also had feelings even though she wasn't a human at all.

Thelaia laughed as she turned around and spread out her arms, two water demons appeared before her side and Zukamari gasped, Thelaia smiled wickedly as Ilula swam away, returning home.

"My darlings... I need you to a job for me, go and find the Mewmaid Melody, also known as Chora. Find her and kill her! If she doesn't die... You will be punished," Thelaia hissed to them, and the demons nodded as they chirped. Zukamari gasped and shook her head, she didn't want this to happen!

"Now go, and find that brat!" Thelaia hissed, then she laughed as her water demons swam off, and then she turned to look at Zukamari, who was shaking her head with tears in her eyes. Mew Harmony was nowhere, and Chora was unconcious, soon to be killed!

And Zukamari was trapped. No Mewmaids anywhere in sight! Zukamari gasped.

"Finally... I have a chance to please my master, Xonia-Sama! I will not let you mewmaids make me fall again!" Thelaia hissed, and she grinned, bearing her fangs, and she laughed as she teleported away with Zukmari in the bubble...

Chora shifted in her sleep, then she opened her eyes slowly to see that she was in the beach hut, Akito and Lina hovering over her. She stared at them then gasped, sitting up fast and straight as Akito stared at her, then he smiled. He was happy she was alright.

"Akito! Lina! Where's Zukamari! " Chora cried out, but Akito and Lina made her lay down again, they tried to calm her down but Chora knew something was truly wrong, and she knew something had happened to Zukamari.

"Don't worry. Zukamari must have gone home, right, Akito-Kun?" Llina asked, and Akito nodded as he smiled and put a hand over Chora's head. He instructed her to close her eyes, so Chora did. But she was worried.

Zukamari was in trouble, she could feel it. Their bond of friendship meant they could feel their danger. But, Chora also felt that she was in more danger than Zukamari was, but Chora being Chora, was determinded to die for Zukamari... No matter what the cost...
