WOOT!~ NEW CHAPTER GUYSSS~! It is semi longer than usual, cuz I was gonna cut it before into two seperate chapters. But, I decided against it cuz I wanted to post it ASAP. Reason being I has Spring Break all week and would feel horrible if I didn't post any new chapters...Lolz...
XD So yeah, here's the new chapter. Hope you guys enjoy, and puh-leaseee review!~ I'm gonna do a 10 review thingy for me to actually post the next chappie like before. Just to see if people still enjoy this story of weirdness.
Sorry I am getting slightly off plot but this part in the story was important. By the next few chapters, the story should be onto it's original way.
And yes, there are tons of Tokyo Mew Mew references, for some reason, at the time of creating this, my mind was set on doing this. Now, not so sure, but since you guys are so amazing and keep reading, I'm gonna complete it till the end until I finish it for you guys!~ (:
Love you all! :D
Now! KUKAIIII~! DISCLAIMER NOWWWWW~! :D
Kukai- CrossAngel-Chan does not own Shugo Chara, Tokyo Mew Mew, or anything real mentioned in the story. If she did, there would be a lot more Kukamu action and a lot more crazy stuff going on in everything...god...don't let that happen *Shivers*
Me- KUKAII!~ YOUR SO MEAN!~ TT_TT *Takes my book and smashes him in the head*
Kukai- OW!
Me- Well, here ya go! :D
Well, my miracle does not come.
Maybe an hour later after Kakesu's little speech sort of thing and after I fall asleep, she wakes me up and whispers, "It's time."
I wake up the other two girls and hold up my finger to my mouth telling them to be quiet. Kakesu goes up to the door takes a deep breath, and motions for us to come. We follow and she positions us behind the door and then she opens it.
"You ready, Kakesu-Koi?" the voice rumbles already fantasizing and when he adds the 'Koi' part to Kakesu's name….it makes me sick.
"Yeah..." Kakesu said quietly and I hear her feet shuffle across the ground and then a groan was heard as a body fell to the ground.
"RU-"Kakesu begins to shout but then there is an even louder noise that blocks it out.
It sounded like an explosion. It deafens me and I am knocked to the ground with Molly and Rue falling on top of me. Shouts and screams fill the air as the explosions calms. But, it is soon replaced by the crackling of fire. Nostalgia hits me like a thousand bricks.
"Come on!" I heard Kakesu shout at us and we are soon on our feet and running.
We reach the lobby when we realize it was futile.
The lobby is engulfed in flames. I watched as some men whose clothes caught on fire flail trying to put out the fire and their screams fill my head. There are black lumps on the ground in some places and I already know that those are bodies. Fire slowly creeps up on them, making them disappear entirely.
"We have to find another exit!" I shout, and begin leading our group back towards our room. We run down the hall and at the end is a fire exit. We are about to escape when we hear the next set of shouts.
They are the cries of trapped girls. They are in the room next to the fire exit and Kakesu is ready to open the door to let us go through. A sense of de ja vu rocks my body and I decide I am not going to revisit the rest.
"We have to help those girls!" I said to Kakesu, going to the door and tugging on the handle. It wouldn't budge and I felt Kakesu's hand on my shoulder and I could hear her shouting in my ear that there isn't enough time.
I shake off her grip and face her, feeling the tears streaking my face.
"Then just go! I am not going to revisit my Sister's death! Go run with Rue and Molly!" I scream at her, and it was then that I noticed three things in sickening realization.
Fire was inching its way down the hall from the lobby towards us. In front of the creeping inferno were Hakotomi and some other guy limping towards us. And the final thing that I realized was that there was a fire was on the other side of the fire exit.
Our escape was worthless. We were trapped and either going to burn to a crisp or be sliced into bacon strips. I think Kakesu realized this too and her face was masked in pain.
"Amu, I'm going to take out the two guys. I'd rather die by the hands of fire than rapists. And I would rather you three also," Kakesu whispers, and then she clenched the knife she had taken off the one man.
Tears trailed my face and I went over to Molly and Rue. They knew what was going on but they were silent. I got them in a group hug and Kakesu stood in front of us, protecting us.
"Amu-Onee-Chan…Thank-you for everything," Rue whispers in my ear and I felt her wet tears on my shoulder. I made her bury her face in my shoulder as we stood in our huddled little circle.
I looked up just in time to watch as Kakesu attacks the men. They struggle and she takes a few stabs at the men. But then, they grab her and restrain her from moving. She struggles but it is no use. The men are just too strong. But, her eye catches mine and she smiles sadly, a single tear streaks her face. She waves her hand awkwardly good-bye and she pushes back. Kakesu and the men go tumbling into the fire. The men's screams penetrate the air and then silence.
The only noise is our sobs and the crackling of fire. Even the girl's shrieks behind the door were silenced.
The only life in this burning motel is the three girls sobbing in between the embers.
As if taunting us with its victory, the fire seems to take even longer to reach us. Smoke fills the little breathing air we had and it becomes un-bearably hot in our huddle.
The smoke gets to us first before the fire does. To escape it, we slump to the floor. Me in the middle with Rue clinging to my right arm and Molly clinging to my left. Our breathing becomes a little too quick to be healthy.
We sit like that until Molly and Rue pass out from the smoke and the flames that were creeping down the hall were finally about to claim another three lives. And, like before, I close my eyes and the flash of consciousness comes and goes.
I hear shouts for help. Coughing. The shriek of turning metal and the sudden roar of pouring water. My eyes open a little dazed. There are firemen in their weird suits. Gas masks are over their faces so to me they looked alien-like. And then, a boy pushes between the firemen.
It is the same masked boy who saved me at the hotel.
He steps forward, and picks up the two girls clinging to me with ease and hurry. He hands them to the firemen and even though their movements show them to be confused, they quickly accept the girls and rush to get them out of the fire.
Then, it was just me and the boy. It was then that I got a better look at the boy. He wore the white mask and had the black hair like he did before, but I now notice what he wore. He wore a black cape that didn't catch on fire somehow and he wore white gloves and black dress shoes. The masked boy's white collared shirt was tucked in neatly with his black jacket like shirt un-tucked and loose just above his waist. He looked sort of like a magician, but it was quite obvious he wasn't into tricks but into more of a mysterious savior.
Just before my eyes started to droop close because of the smoky air, the masked boy turned to me and came to my side scooping me up. I was pressed against him as he ran ghost-like towards where the firemen exited.
And then, my eyes closed.
The next they opened, I was strapped to a gurney with a breathing mask over my mouth. I lazily look to my right and saw Rue and Molly strapped to a gurney also. They had breathing masks on but were sleeping peacefully, the steady up and down motion of their bodies filled me with relief. They were then rolled into the same ambulance by two nurses and the wail of the special car sounded through the air. It took off and the wailing died down in the night.
I then look to my left and see the fire being fought with water. The inferno wriggled and writhed as if it were alive and trying to avoid the cool water. I was glad for it to be gone, and then grief filled me when I thought of Kakesu. I hope she has joined her lover in the night sky and is happily watching over us as we carry on our lives.
As if my life is happy.
All of a sudden, there is a soft flash of black and white and then the masked boy is standing by my side blocking the dying fire. The boy was staring down at me as unconsciousness began to pull me under again. It seemed he was leaning on his left leg more than his right and….are my dreary eyes deceiving me? Or do I truly see a liquid trailing down his leg?
He tips my chin up with a white gloved hand so that I would look up into his masked face. He smiled softly, and then let go. I kept my wavering gaze on his face just as my eyes were closing.
And just like the last time, the boy pulled off his mask to reveal emerald green eyes.

Beep…Beep…Beep…
I groan, and reach to turn off the alarm clock…wait…I don't own an alarm clock…
I blink open my eyes and it takes a bit for them to adjust. Once I take in the semi-familiar scene, I sigh in relief. The room was a painfully bright white, next to my head on the right was a machine and that's where the persistent beep is coming from. And beyond that is a wide window revealing clear blue skies.
Underneath the window were two chairs with teal green cushioning. I then lazily turn my head to my left and my eyes widen in surprise. The area there was filled with huge get-well teddybears, balloons, flowers, you name it! Just like the first time.
But knowing the present times, I know for certain that these gifts were not from my old best friends because they changed too much to care...
"Omgz!~ C'mon everyone, Amu-Chii is awake!~" a voice squeals and then there is a flurry of movement as my room is soon filled with 6 familiar girls.
Around my bed stood Mint, Icy, Shi, Emiko, Rima, and Saru, each smiling as if we were the bestest of friends. But, maybe we were slowly coming to that point of our relationships with each other.
"Are you okay Amu-Chan? The police told us what happened…we were so worried!" Emiko said, tears brimming her magenta eyes.
"Ah…I'm fine I think…what about Molly and Rue?" I asked frantically. I had promised Kakesu I would get these girls back home.
"Oh, those girls? They were her earlier for a checkup, but they are fine. Probably at the moment, they are back home with their families!" Mint replies, smiling.
"Yeah. That was a brave thing for you to do Amu-Chan," Icy said, placing her hand on my shoulder.
"It was just a spur of the moment," I mumble, a hazy pink flooding my cheeks as I look down at my hands.
"A good spur of the moment, Amu-Chii!" Saru chirps, doing a mini cheer.
"Yeah, Amu-Chan. I'm glad your okay though. Don't do anything reckless ever again, okay?" Rima asks, holding out her pinky. "Pinky promise?"
I smile a little, and lock pinkies with hers. "Promise." Then, the other girls suddenly reach forward and somehow lock their pinkies into our little promise thing.
"I think we should all promise to not be reckless, okay?" Shi said cooly, and then adds, "I promise not to do anything reckless for the sake of my fellow friends."
"I promise," Icy said immediately.
"Saru promises!" Saru chirps.
"I promise," Mint said.
"I promise to make it up to Amu-Chan for everything," Emiko said, adding her own personal promise to the mix.
"I second that," Rima said, squeezing her pinky around mine reassuringly.
"I promise too," I said, ending the little promise gathering. Then, they let go of our pinkies and we all get into a group hug.
"Wait…did Kukai ever come to look for me?" I ask, pulling away.
There was a painfully long silence as I try to meet the eyes of my friends. They all avoided it, even Shi who was so straight forward.
"What happened to him?" I ask angrily.
"Well…Amu, he's in the hospital room next to yours…" Shi responds, looking me in the eyes and I could see the sorrow and pity swirling in her usually emotionless icy blue eyes.
So there you have it! Cliffhanger evilness :D :D
Lolz, I'm being mean aren't I? ;3
So yeahs, the next chapter will be in the progress of being made, but no guarantee it will for sure come out after 10 reviews. I will try my best but I have tons of tests coming up for school and I need to study my butt off...the only time I will actually study. XP
Remmeber the deal! 10 reviews and new chapter!~ (:
Also, sorry for OC-ness of any character, it just happens because I don't know how they would react in the situations I'm putting them in, yada yada yada... XD
Well, Ja ne, awesome reviewers! Love you!~
