Hey everyone!

I'm back with another chapter of "TMM Movie; The Rise of Darkness"

Anyway, I know I took a long time reviewing and writing this chapter, well u no longer have 2 wait!

Cause it's starting ….

NOW!

"…and your saying that after we were devoured by those creatures, we were under that alien's control and almost killed you one-sama?" Mint asked, one of her hands holding her forehead.

Right after the mews had gotten out of the recked town the girls dropped Ichigo off at her house without waking her parents (but they almost woke them with Lettuce tripping over stuff in the dark and Pudding kept on squawking about them sneaking around and how exciting it was). Then after returning Ichigo home she woke up long enough to tell her friends about the surprise visit her parents decided to make later that morning and then went right back to sleep.

When the girls got back to the café they let the mews let their family and loved ones know that they were working overnight to get ready for a special interview soon and they would be home when they got off work the next day.

"Yes, that creep Dark was able to possess you with those creatures, then he made you attack us." Zakuro paused, "but Ichigo was somehow able to transform herself and with the transformation, she was also able to drive out the creatures that were controlling your bodies."

"Okay… but exactly what were those things?" Lettuce asked.

"That's what I was wondering, they don't look at all like the parasite aliens and instead of turning us into animal humanoid creatures, I actually felt it go inside of my body and then it felt like it was crawling around in my brain, then… nothing…" Mint trailed off.

"Pudding hardly remembers anything either, na no da." Pudding said holding her head.

"If I had to guess, based on what you all have told us, this new alien must have the ability to control a new type of parasite alien." Keiichiro said out loud.

"Right, it seems that instead of simply taking over its' victims like most parasite aliens, this new parasite alien can not only take over the body, but the mind and it can also access specific memories if it wanted to." Ryou thought out loud.

"O.k… and what about that new alien we saw, um…Dark, just who is he?" Mint asked.

"Well he's clearly an alien, he has long pointed ears and can control kimera animas with the parasite aliens, na no da!" Pudding said while pulling her ears.

"Yes, but that doesn't explain why he's just now showing up even after so many battles with Kishu and the others, or the fact that his powers seem different from theirs either." Lettuce tried to explain.

"I doubt it's because he was called in to fight." Zakuro paused and everyone looked at her. "He was by himself, and he didn't seem to have any interest in saving his race like the others."

"That's right he said he came to try and take over the Earth for himself!" Pudding realized.

"Yeah now that you mention it one-sama, I think you're right." Mint thought out loud. "I remember, just before Dark sicked those disgusting creatures at us, he was looking for Ichigo."

"But why?" Lettuce asked.

"I'm not sure, maybe to test her." Mint said.

"Well, whatever the case maybe, we know a few things for sure." Ryou began. "One being that in a few hours the café will open and Ichigo's parents will be paying us a visit. If we want Ichigo to continue working here and to help us defeat the aliens we have to convince them that Ichigo is in safe hands when working after hours."

"It might not be a bad idea to get some sleep girls." Keiichiro smiled, he then turned toward the staircase "Go upstairs and down the hall to the left, there should be a few beds for you, we'll wake you up in a few hours and call you're parents so they know you were here this morning."

"Sounds good, Pudding is still very tired, na no da." Pudding said as she rubbed her eyes.

"Come on guys, lets get some sleep." Mint muttered as she and the others walked up stair leaving Ryou and Keiichiro to talk privately.

"I don't know Ryou, if what the girls have said is true, then this new alien is even more dangerous than the ones we've faced so far and the girls will be in great danger."

"I know Keiichiro, I don't really want to risk the girls safety, but if they can beat this new alien, then they can truly accomplish anything."

"Hm." Keiichiro nodded in agreement.

Images of the mews in their different battles began to play in a sequence. First with Mint and her the discovery of her powers, then with Lettuce and Pudding. One thing was for sure though, they all met because of that girl.

'Ichigo.'

"It seems that this Ichigo is even more interesting than I had first thought." Dark said as he gazed at the images before him.

As Dark continue to gaze at the images he saw other things about the mews lives play before him. Their childhood, families, all this precious information was now at his fingertips, especially their human identities.

"Are you satisfied my master?" the dark shadow of Mint asked.

"For now, yes." Dark then turned and the projection behind him vanished. He began to pace the underground chamber as if deep in thought.

'Hmmm… most intriguing, the more I see and here of this so called leader, the more I'm interested to see that wreched girl in person.'

He then stopped. 'Perhaps it's time I met her face-to-face, that way I will take the pleasure in knowing something about her before I kill her!' He thought with a malicious grin slowly appearing on his face.

"Oh man! I'm so late!" Ichigo cried as she raced through the streets.

"Late! Late!" Masha cried as he followed her.

"Masha, get down, someone will see you!" Ichigo cried as she tried to stuff him into her backpack, but as she struggled to do so, she failed to notice the uneven surface of the road and fell down.

"OHHHHHH!" she moaned.

"Ichigo hurt! Ichigo hurt!" Masha cried.

After a brief moment Ichigo recovered and began to quickly pick up her stuff, just then she saw someone reach for one of her textbooks and picked it up.

"Oh, um excuse me, but I need that for school!" Ichigo tried to say as she stood up.

"I know, that's why I was picking it up for you." A voice called to her.

Ichigo looked up and gasped.

"Aoyama-kun!" Ichigo cried out happily.

"Good morning Ichigo." He greeted with a bright smile.

"Uh… were you heading to school to huh?" she mumbled out loud. She then blushed heavily.

'WHAT AM I thinking? Of course he's going to school, I'm such an idiot.' (Please save the idiot comments.)

Masaya stared at her for a few moments before chuckling and soon after laughing. Ichigo looked at him a bit confused, but still embarrassed.

"Ichigo. Sometimes, you can be pretty funny, even when you don't mean to be." Masaya smiled.

"Uh, yeah well that's me." Ichigo sweat dropped.

"We'll I guess I'll talk to you later, unless you want to walk with me to school." He offered.

"Hai!" she cheered happily.

(I did say this story had MasayaXIchigo fluff in it, so get over it and gag in the reviews if u really have 2. There r some Masaya fans after all- thankfully not many)

RING!

RING!

RING!

Ichigo ran into class just as the last bell rang, thank goodness, she was in enough trouble as it was.

"Ichigo, there you are. We were starting to get a bit worried." Miwa said.

"Yeah, did something happen, you look zoned out kinda." Moe asked.

"Well…actually before I go here I was running late as usual and on my way I bumped into Aoyama-kun!" Ichigo half giggled, her cheeks showing a light blush.

"No way! You actually talked to him and everything." Miwa half yelled.

"Get out! It's been like forever since you two talked we thought you actually broke up!" Moe said in agreement.

"What! No that's ridiculous!" Ichigo cried out.

"We sure didn't think it was." Moe said.

"Yeah, actually now that I think about it half of the school is saying that you two broke up about a week ago." Miwa added.

Ichigo groaned. "So along with my relationship, I need to get back my parents trust in me, plus my work at the café?"

"So wait something is going on with your folks?" Miwa asked.

At that very moment the teacher came in. "All right class, take your seats we have a lot to cover today."

"Tell us after class, ok Ichigo?" Moe whispered in her ear. Soon after Moe and Miwa walked off and everyone in class took their seats.

"All right class today I'm going to start by saying we are going to have someone new start class with us today. Well come on in and introduce yourself young man."

Everyone turned to look at the door and instantly practically every girl starting gawking at the young man they saw.

The young man was fairly tall with pail skin, gorgeous brown eyes, long black hair tyed in a low ponytail, and of course wearing the boys school uniform-which if possible-made him look even more handsome to all of the girls.

"Oh my gosh he is so cute!"

"I know!"

"Do you think he's single?"

"How old do you think he is?"

"He's even more handsome than Aoyama!" (Remember Masaya is supposed to be the most handsome guy in school- I disagree)

"How can you say that?"

"Well he is!"

"All right! All right calm down everyone, we've got a lot to do so settle down. Alright now why don't you introduce yourself young man." The teacher said calmly.

"Gladly sir!" the young man said. ALL of the girls at this point blushed upon hearing him speak.

"Hello my name is Drake Royu Aragon Kelon, but please call me…Drake."

Every girl was practically gawking at the new guy, in the back Ichigo, Miwa, and Moe were whispering to each other.

" Oh my god! I can't believe he is so cute!" Moe half cried.

"I know, I could just eat him up!" Miwa said.

"That was kind of a weird thing to say." Moe sweatdropped.

"Was it, my bad." both girls then turned to look at Ichigo. "What do you think of him Ichigo?"

"Huh?" Ichigo turned to the girls "Why do you ask?"

"Well you haven't said anything for like a few minutes so we started to wonder if you decided to become misses Drake instead of misses Aoyama."

"What! No!" she paused. "I mean yes, he really cute, but I love Aoyama-kun and nothing is going to change that." Ichigo stated.

"Well that's good, then I can have him all to myself." Miwa cried.

"You? What about me, he would be perfect for me!" Moe also cried!

"What are you two yelling about?" The teacher asked standing next to them.

"Uh…nothing." the girls finally answered.

The teacher scoffed. "Very well, I'll let it slide since we are busy today. Alright mister…Drake, take your seat with miss Momioya and we can begin." Everyone in class began whispering as Drake walked toward his seat.

"Now then today we will begin our discussion on Newton's theory so I suggest you all pay close attention."

"Uh…welcome." Ichigo said looking at Drake.

Drake stopped writing for a moment to look at her and smiled. "I'm sure I'll like it here very much…Ichigo."

Ichigo looked a bit shocked. "Um, have I met you before?"

"You mean you don't recognize me?" Drake then touched Ichigo's hand. "I've known you since you were a kid, don't you remember?" he gently squeezed her hand as if pleading for her to remember.

Ichigo held her head. "Um…yeah, now that you mention it I think I do."

"Good, I look forward to being here." Drake said before turning back to his work.

'Yeah me too.' Ichigo thought a faint blush on her face, she then turned back to her work to concentrate but no matter what Ichigo couldn't seem to stop holding her head through out class.

Unknown to her Drake was watching Ichigo from the corner of his eye, his mouth curved into a slight smirk. 'Seems everything is going according to plan' he chuckled lightly.
