21st of March, my birthday. The day had quickly passed. I had gotten allot of presents except from one person, Ryou. It was evening and I had just gotten home. Ryou came walking up to me and handed me a small box and a envelope.
"First open the box."
I nodded. I opened it and in it was the necklace I had gotten from him when I was little.
"I had it made on your size."
I smiled. Ryou took it out of the box and put it around my neck. It was a choker with a stone on it which looked like the moon.
"Thank you. I love it." I smiled brightly and kissed Ryou.
"Don't forget the letter." He said.
I opened it and in it was the 'Share the bed' card. I looked puzzled at Ryou.
"Use it once you feel ready for it." He grinned and kissed me on the cheek.
He then stood up to make dinner. I smiled and looked as he was cooking.
Time had flown and it was June already. It had been a busy night and I had gone to bed early.
23rd of June 11.00 PM
My phone rang, sleepily I reached to find my phone while I got out from under the blanket.
"Yes..?"
"….."
"Hello?"
"…."
"Who is this?!"
I looked at the screen of my phone, I didn't know this number.
"…"
I hung up and walked downstairs quickly.
"Ryou? Someo….."
Someone closed the door behind me and pushed me against it.
The person covered my mouth. I squeezed my eyes close as the pressure against my chest was making it hard to breath, I struggled to get lose.
"Stop moving." Whispered the person.
I stopped moving and let my hands hang beside my body.
I looked into the eyes of the person who was pressing me against the door, aquamarine blue.
As Ryou realized I had stopped struggling he took his hand of my mouth and stopped pressing me against the door. I followed Ryou's look and saw the enemy talk with each other in our back garden.
I tried to listen in on their conversation and soon I tuned in to their whispering.
First I heard random words and then I could hear the sentences.
"… when will you call her again?"
"Soon, Jacqueline calm down. We just need the girl."
"What about the guy? "
"Nothing but if he stands in the way do whatever you want. We have permission to dispose him if needed."
I almost gasped but I was able to keep it in. I was scared and I looked at Ryou.
He had a very serious look in his eyes and I felt he was measuring in his mind what plan was best.
He softly pulled me away from the door to open it.
"Go to Keiichirou, now!" He whispered.
I heavily shook my head.
"No! They came for me and they will kill you if they need to! No, no, no!"
I took my pendant in my hand. "I will fight them, you go get the others. They won't kill me."
Ryou gave me a very disapproving look but before he could say anything I ran towards the door that lead to our garden.
"Hello there. I heard you were looking for me. Well here I am!"
''Mew mew Mitsuki Metamorpho~sis!"
I heard the doors of the garage open and I heard the motorcycle of Ryou as he left.
I spread my legs and my arms.
"Come and get me!"
Jacqueline came at me and I quickly evaded the attack.
Then the other enemy attacked me and I evaded that attack as well.
"I don't even know your name.."
"Jake it is." Said the guy.
I jumped into the tree.
"So Jacqueline and Jake, not really Japanese names are they?"
I jumped onto the roof and ran onto another. Jacqueline and Jake followed me as I kept going from one roof onto another.
Please let me be able to lead them out of the neighborhood, I need to protect the citizens.
"For who are you fighting? Why do you need me to come with you, huh?"
I was barely able to evade the attacks they sent to me together but one attack at the time didn't really do much to me, long live the cat power.
"Why would we tell you, you are merely a human." Jake said.
"For our boss of course!" Jacqueline said at almost the exact same time as Jake.
"And who is the boss?" I jumped and pulled my legs up to my chest to evade their attack.
"Joseph of course~!" Jacqueline said.
"Jacqueline you idiot you are giving all the information away!" Jake yelled at Jacqueline.
Jacqueline was startled by his yelling and they stopped running.
Instead of stopping as well which would be idiotic, I kept running as hard as I could.
I was out of breath and something stung in my chest but instead of listening to it I kept running. My pendant was lighting up.
"Yeah…" I said.
"Where the hell are you?!" I heard Ryou scream.
"We are worried Mitsuki-san." I heard Lettuce say.
"I am trying to get out of town, I don't want to risk anyone's life." I heard some of the girls agreeing.
"To which side of town are you going?" I heard Ryou ask.
"To Tokyo bay. I have to go or they will find out I had contact with you."
I think I was running for over half an hour with Jacqueline and Jake following me.
I saw the bay become closer and closer. I saw faces I recognized and I was relieved.
But that feeling didn't stay with me for long.
I tripped over a stone and right at that moment Jake got to me.
"Mitsuki!" I heard the others yell for me.
Jake held me up with one hand by my hands and with his other hand he held a sharp knife against my throat, I felt his body press against mine.
The girls quickly surrounded Jacqueline, Jake and me.
"Let her go!" Ichigo yelled.
"If you want to see her coming back to alive you will have to let us go." Jake said strictly.
I struggled to get his hands loosen up but instead I made the knife cut into my skin.
"Mitsuki, stop moving!" Katelinn yelled at me.
I looked at my best friend and the tears jumped into my eyes, my eyes shifted to everyone's faces and then my eyes locked on Ryou's face.
He looked worried but determined and his determination wakened a strong power in me.
Before anyone could say anything else Jake and Jacqueline disappeared with me.
Mews POV.
The mews sat in the mew café.
"What are we going to do?" Berry asked.
"We need to safe Mitsuki onee-chan!" Pudding said.
"But how? We have no clue where their hide-out is." Mint said.
"Finding out will not be an easy task." Zakuro answered Mint.
"I hope Mitsuki-san is okay." Lettuce said.
"Knowing Mitsuki she's fine." Ringo said trying to better the mood in the room.
Ichigo sighed.
They turned towards Katelinn who was sitting in a corner of the room.
"She doesn't look alright, does she?" Ichigo asked.
"Mitsuki and Katelinn are best friends, it's not surprising she feels bad." Zakuro said.
Ryou POV.
"The girls don't know what to do." Keiichirou said.
It was past 2 AM.
"Nor do I to be honest." I said.
I was looking at the computer, I was trying to find any information on the enemy. I hoped to find out where their hide-out was but after 8 hours I still had no luck.
"Ryou, you look tired. Go to sleep."
"No, I am going to continue this. Go ahead and go to sleep, I will in a few."
Keiichirou stood up. "Don't make it too late."
I simply nodded.
I needed to find her.
Normal POV (Mitsuki POV)
I woke up in a place I didn't know. I noticed I was lying on something very soft.
I looked around and saw I was lying in a bed. I sat up and noticed the bandage on my neck.
I looked down and noticed I wasn't in mew form anymore nor was I wearing the PJs I had on before I changed. I was wearing a long golden dress, I didn't have anything on my feet and my hair was in an up do that must have taken time to do. I felt nauseous thinking someone touched me.
I looked around the room I was in. It was empty besides the bed I was one which stood in the middle of the room. There were no windows and also no door, how was I going to get away.
I suddenly realized I didn't have my pendant on me anymore.
"Ah, you are awake." A low voice said.
Out of the shadows came someone with dark brown hair and green eyes. I looked at his length and guessed he was at least 180cm tall. He must be Joseph.
"Let me guess, you are searching for this." He held my pendant.
He threw it towards me and it fell on the bed right in front of me.
I took it quickly in my hands.
''Mew mew Mitsuki Metamorpho~sis!"
I kissed my pendant but nothing happened.
"You can't change here, as you have noticed. The magic here is too dark to change." He laughed.
He now stood in front of me and sat down on the bed. He held my chin and his face came closer.
"I will make you mine."
NO! I will never be yours.
"Not so tough now, are you?"
How..
"I have been watching you for a while now. Always acting strong, you. Acting like a leader of that annoying little group, you pesky little animal creatures."
I turned my head away from the creep. He now roughly took my head in his hands to make me face him.
"I will make you mine and you will be my queen as I take over the world."
"I will never be yours." I spit in his face.
He let go of my face and cleaned his face. He stood up and turned away from me.
"Soon you will see." He disappeared.
Will I ever be able to leave this place?
Tears came started to appear in my eyes but I blinked them away, no Mitsuki don't think like that.
I need to get out of here. There must be a way I can get away.
I stood up and walked around the room. Suddenly I saw a vent in the wall. How do I open it?
I took a pin out of my hair and used it to open the vent.
I ripped of the dress so I could crawl easily.
I kept crawling in the vent, searching for a way out. At some point I saw light at the end from where I was crawling.
I looked around, this must be near Tokyo bay.
I took my pendant in my hand and pressed the heart shape button on the top. I prayed someone would hear me.
"Someone please hear me. I am near Tokyo bay. On my left I see the city and on my right I see the sea. Please someone help me. I am going to jump into the sea beneath me but I am not sure how long I will be able to swim. I am going to try and get to a near beach but I don't know how long it will take. I am going to leave my pendant on so let Keiichirou track it."
I made myself ready to jump into the water. I squeezed my eyes close as I took the jump into the water. As I was falling into the water I heard a voice.
"Mitsuki? Mitsuki, can you hear me…?" I heard Katelinn's voice.
"We will find you. Don't worry, we are coming for you."
Katelinn POV
I ran into mew café and found Shirogane sitting at one of the tables, still working on his laptop.
"Katelinn? What are you doing here?" He asked me.
"Mitsuki… She made contact…." I was out of breath.
"Whaa.. wait? Where? When did she contact you?"
"She contacted me 10 minutes ago and told me her surroundings. We need to go to Tokyo bay NOW! She made sure we could track her!"
Shirogane ran upstairs and within 5 minutes he was back with Akasaka behind him.
Both had phones in their hands and were calling the others.
"Let's go to the car." Akasaka said.
We walked to the car and stepped in. Akasaka drove us quickly to Tokyo bay.
The others were at the appointed place and they stepped into the car as well. We kept driving around Tokyo bay in the middle of the night.
Normal POV (Mitsuki POV)
I was extremely tired but I saw the bay nearing sight. I needed to find a place where I could go onto land. I saw a open space with a lot of rocks where it wouldn't be too hard to get out of the water. I pulled myself up and lay there, tired, soaked and glad I was away of it all.
I saw a car nearing in the distance but I was too tired to look up or open my eyes.
The car stopped, people stepped out and came running towards me. I recognized the others.
Idiots, I thought, they had driven in a part where a car wasn't allowed.
Before they could reach me I felt hands grab onto me.
"Let her go!" I heard someone scream.
I tried opening my eyes to look who was holding me.
Why is everything so blurry? I need to close my eyes.
"Let's see what happens to you idiots when I do this!" I hear Jake yell.
There was this weird sensation, I recognized. The place traveling we did earlier, only this time it felt different. Maybe it was because I had my eyes closed.
Then the weird feeling ended and I felt I was being carried towards something and put onto something.
If only I could open my eyes I would be able to see what is going on. Why do my eyes have to be so heavy right now.
I concentrated on myself, please let me be less tired, please let me be able to open my eyes.
I kept praying this over and over until I felt this weird tingling sensation and I felt much better.
I opened my eyes and looked around. I was on this stand and sitting on a throne, chained, with Joseph next to me on another throne.
From the distance I saw the others running towards us.
"Finally awake, huh." Joseph said in a cocky way.
"Let me go!"
"NO!"
Just then the others were right in front of us.
"What have you done with Mitsuki?!" Ichigo yelled.
"So you found us." Said Jake. "Took you long enough."
"Get rid of this disturbance." The Joseph ordered.
No!
''Mew mew Katelinn Metamorpho~sis!"
''Mew mew Ichigo Metamorpho~sis!"
''Mew mew Mint Metamorpho~sis!"
''Mew mew Lettuce Metamorpho~sis!"
''Mew mew Pudding Metamorpho~sis!"
''Mew mew Zakuro Metamorpho~sis!"
''Mew mew Berry Metamorpho~sis!"
''Mew mew Ringo Metamorpho~sis!"
They all stood there. The others fought Jake and Jacqueline and after some time they were all worn out and tired.
"You will not win this fight~!" Jacqueline said.
"You jackass!" Ichigo yelled.
"RIBBON STRAWBERRY CHECK!"
Ichigo's attack bounced away from Jacqueline to Jake.
"Jake!" Jacqueline ran towards Jake.
She started crying.
"Jake... Don't die... Don't leave me alone.."
"It's okay little sister, help Joseph for me."
Jake then disappeared.
"You!"
Jacqueline ran towards Ichigo but before she had reached her Lettuce came in between.
"Ribbon Lettuce rush!"
Lettuce's attack left Jacqueline bleeding on the ground near Joseph and me.
Joseph looked angry.
Suddenly Joseph stood up and pulled me off the throne.
He pulled me up into the air with one hand with ease as my body was still numb from the swim, pushing a sharp knife against my throat.
"I first thought of making this girl my wife."
I heard Ryou swearing.
"But now I am going to make her my sacrifice." Joseph laughed.
"NO!" We all yelled.
"Mitsuki!" Ryou yelled.
"Let.. Me... Go!"
Again the weird tingling sensation went through my body and suddenly I had all control of my body.
I started struggling and wiggling to get at least one hand loose. My right hand snapped out of the grip Joseph had on me and I pulled up the skirt of the dress to get my pendant which I had put into the hem of the dress.
''Mew mew Mitsuki Metamorpho~sis!"
I transformed but Joseph still had a hold of me.
Joseph's head came close to mine and whispered in my ear.
"Changing won't do you any good."
"Let me go! Let me go!" I yelled.
"You will be my sacrifice!"
Joseph put the knife against my throat and put pressure to it, so that the wound that had barely closed got open again and I felt blood slowly go down my throat.
I saw everyone look at me, scared. I was sure this was my death.
I looked down and saw Jacqueline look at me while she was lying bleeding on the ground.
"Are you afraid? Do you want to die?" She asked.
Instead giving her what she wanted I put on a brave face and answered.
"No, I am not afraid. And I never will be your sacrifice!"
I straightened my back and head.
"Mew heart wand!"
I held the wand in my hand.
Please turn into a staff or a katana. Please turn in something I can safe myself with.
The wand turned into a katana and pushed the katana through my own body into Joseph's, as fast as I pushed it in I pulled it out.
"Joseph!" Jacqueline yelled.
"Mitsuki!" The mews and Ryou yelled.
Without thinking I just threw the katana down right into Jacqueline's body. She gasped and disappeared in thin air.
Joseph let go the knife and of my other hand and I fell down from mid-air.
"What have you done?!" Joseph yelled and stumbled. He fell down.
Ryou caught me as I fell forward.
"You will die for what you have done!" Katelinn screamed at Joseph.
She took the katana that was laying at the place Jacqueline had been.
"Aaaaaayyaaa!" Katelinn pushed the katana in Joseph's heart and with a load bang he disappeared just as the thrones had. The scenery around us changed and we were back at Tokyo bay.
"Mitsuki! Mitsuki, don't die. Please don't die." Ryou said as he held me in his arms.
I raised my hand and touched Ryou's cheek, I wiped away the tears that were flowing.
"It's okay… I'll be fine." I smiled.
"How?"
I ignored his question, I just felt horrible because of what happened. I felt horrible knowing I would leave him. It was the first time I had seen Ryou cry.
"Ryou?"
"What?"
"Kiss me."
Ryou bowed down and kissed my lips.
My hand slipped away and I lost my conscious.
"Mitsuki.. Mitsuki!" Ryou tightly held onto my body.
"Mitsuki!" Everyone started crying.
"Don't cry." Who was that?
Everyone looked around. No one was there.
"Don't cry."
Weird lights started appearing and surrounding everyone.
"Don't cry, she will be fine."
"Mom?" Ryou said.
The lights started surrounding me and me wounds healed.
My appearance started to change. My mew uniform changed and became a long white strapless dress and my shoes changed to white sandals. My long hair which was almost in an up do was now lose.
"See? She will be fine."
Just as quick as the lights had appeared they disappeared.
I opened my eyes and saw Ryou's face, he looked baffled. I lifted my hand and softly caressed his cheek. He suddenly pulled me into a hug. I heard everyone laugh and sigh and even cry out of happiness.
"Thanks mom." Ryou softly whispered.
"Ryou?"
"Don't ever leave me again." He let go of me and looked me in the eyes.
"Hai." I nodded. (understood).
He then kissed me. Ryou helped me onto my feet, I fell, my knew weak but Ryou held me up.
We turned to the others. I smiled at the others and without a warning they came all running at me pulling me into a group hug. I couldn't help but laugh happily.
After a while we sat down on a bench nearby. There was barely space for everyone so I just sat on Ryou's lap.
We looked onto the water.
The sun was coming up and the sunrise was beautiful.
