Chapter 9
Fight
"Please! Get out of here!" She said sternly, standing in front of him with her back facing him. Lettuce and Pudding ran over as Ichigo and Mitsukie ran over from the other direction...
Ichigo got there with Ryou who called Keiichiro, who was now running with them, at the same time Mitsukie, Pudding, and Lettuce got there.
As Aito ran off, a high-pitched laugh came from above the girls. Killi just laughed as she watched the Chimra Anima charge at Izumi. But she stopped laughing immadietly when the Chimra Anima was dead with one simple swing of a sword. The boy who destroyed the Chimra Anima looked at Izumi. "Y-you're the guy that I saw..." She whispered. The guy had tan pants, ankle height boots, a cape, a leather tunic, and fingerless gloves along with a half mask, showing a small, red iris in the mask's eye socket. "Who are you?!" She asked, placing her left hand infront of her and her right hand behind her. A bright, skinny circle appeared around her. As she grabbed it, it turned into what looked like two scythe blades put together where the tip was wrapped in white ribbon, allowing a holding spot. "Who are you?" She asked again.
"Ransurot." He said, running his hand through his long, blonde, spiked hair.
"Wow, he actually spoke..." Killi sighed, folding her arms. "I want to murder him so much..." She whispered.
Everyone froze when he looked at everyone else. "What are you doing?" Izumi asked. "Why did you save us?"
"Save us? We weren't even in trouble yet, Izumi!" Mitsukie said, running to her side. "I'd ask if you're ok, but we haven't been attacked yet."
Lettuce and Pudding ran over to Izumi's side as well. "You'll have to hurt us all to defeat us!" Pudding yelled. Ichigo just trailed behind. She was still shooken up over her dream.
"Ugh, I'll be so freaking happy when this guy dies." Killi groaned.
"Awe come on now, the Chosen One can't die." Ransurot smirked.
"I think this guy is worse then Mint..." Lettuce whispered.
"Yeah, by a long shot..." Ichigo replied.
Ransurot pulled out his odachi and looked straight at Ichigo. He charged forward, blade ready. All the Mews were going against Ransurot, but they couldn't mange to land a hit. They were all dusty from being thrown backwards or something, but they weren't struck by Ransurot's weapon. Although slightly, his odachi began to glow a tiny bit for a few seconds before he swung towards Pudding. Izumi ran up and kicked him in the side, making him stop swinging towards Pudding. Ichigo and Lettuce used their attacks as Mitsukie and Pudding got up, watching. Ransurot rolled out of the way, slicing Izumi's arm a bit, nothing bad. They faught for a good 15 minutes (I told you I suck at fight scenes ... ;a; ), leaving Lettuce with messy hair and dirt all over her, Izumi with a few small cuts and dust all in her hair, Pudding with a couple scratches, Mitsukie and Ichigo were just covered in dirts and dust. Ransurot had only one cut, on his hand, from Mitsukie, and it was very tiny. She just barely got him. He flew backwards once he was satistfied. "You girls have good potentional..." He whispered, smirking at the group. "You'll be fun..." He burned all of their faces into his mind before teleporting away with the other Cyniclons.
"Ok, what was that even about?!" Pudding asked, detransforming along with her friends. "He was totally creepy!"
"Yeah, and we all have to get home, it's Sunday." Lettuce said yawning. "We should get some rest."
Mitsukie sighed. "I really don't look forward to school.. Well, we're all ok! Goodnight!" Mitsukie cheered happily and started walking home.
Izumi ran over to the farris wheel and picked up her giraffe. "Good, you're not hurt or anything." She smiled, holding it tight. "Goodnight guys!" She smiled, holding her hand in the air, waving bye, and walking home.
Pudding and Lettuce waved and ran home. "Ichigo, you should head home." Keiichiro smiled. "We'll see you tomorrow at the Cafe." Ichigo nodded and started walking home.
She was worried about Ransurot. She didn't trust him... He seemed... Strange. Like he could side with the Mew Mews in a heartbeat but then all of a sudden murder everyone without hesitation. She sighed and walked inside, happy she didn't see her parents in the living room. She was still shaken from her dream and had no idea how to deal with that. She quickly changed into her pj's and flopped onto her bed. But she didn't realize a blonde haired alien watching her. He just floated near her window. 'I wonder what's going on... I mean I HATE that blondie! He's such a jerk! I mean I know I know I like him a little, but that's gross! I'm so not going to date him! No matter what. Nope! No no no no!' Ichigo thought to herself, her hands on her head, messing up her hair and rolling around on the bed. "I mean I stay late all the time! But that doesn't get me a raise! Argh all he does is reduce my pay and KISS me-" Ichigo froze as she said that. Her thoughts froze, her voice froze, and all her movements froze. "Wait..." She whispered a minute later. "Did... I...?" She sat up in her bed and put her fingers on her lips. "No... I would never kiss him that's gross..." She sighed, remembering what happened after she woke up from her dream. She lied down, rolling over so she was facing away from the wall. "AHH!" She screamed, jumping out of bed when she saw Ransurot smirking at her from the other side of the window.
She transformed into Mew Ichigo and leaped out of her window. The cat-girl looked around, not finding the alien. A long, heavy sigh left her mouth. Ransurot slowly floated down, watching Ichigo carefully. "I wouldn't mind seeing how well you fight alone." He said, scaring Ichigo.
"Why?!" She turned around, her Strawberry Bell in her hand. "I have school tomorrow so I don't have time for you!"
This only made Ransurot smirk and want to fight her even more. "I'm not leaving without a fight."
"Ugh." Ichigo groaned, she really didn't have time for him. It was 2 A.M.! It was a clear night out, all the stars were visable. It was a beautiful night out... Except the orginal crazy people walking down the road... Ichigo didn't really have a chance to attack Ransurot, she kept blocking and dodging. Until she was a block away from her house from trying to run away but failing. Ransurot used some of his real power, testing Ichigo. He wanted to kill her, but mostly he just wanted to have fun and test her potental. Ichigo found an opening to attack. His overconfidence of being 'The Chosen One' made his weakness pretty open... She used her strawberry bell on him, making him stop his attack and get out of the way. "Can you leave me alone now?!" She whinned, her arms crossed.
"Hng... Sure." Ransurot stood up and put his odachi away. 'I can see how she was able to kill Deep Blue... But she's stronger with her friends. She needs to be with her friends to be stronger... Interesting...' Ransurot thought as he teleported off, smirking at Ichigo.
"I just want to go to sleep..." She whinned quietly, running home. She still couldn't get the thought of her kissing Ryou out of her head. 'I'd rather kiss Masaya again then go out with Ryou...' She thought. As soon as she got in her room, she flopped on her bed and passed right out.
Ichigo shut off her alarm clock as she dragged herself out of bed. She quickly got dressed and ran out of her door. Everyday she was almost late, everyday! She really has to get out of that habbit... Once she got to the school gates, Moe and Miwa ran over to her. "Ichigo, you are totally the coolest person we know!" Moe cheered, grabbing her best friends hands.
"Yeah! Like who wouldn't believe that?" Miwa grabbed Ichigo's hands as well ."So did you guys kiss yet?!"
"What...?" Ichigo asked, yawning. "Who did I kiss?" She was still really tired as she walked to her locker with her best friends.
"Duh... Ryou!" Miwa said, opening her locker.
Ichigo looked over to Masaya's locker, she felt bad for just ditching him like that... But she couldn't help but see how he was doing. "Yeah, you and Ryou are dating right?!" Moe said, kind of loud, hoping Masaya would hear.
Masaya sighed, grabbing his books from his locker with a look of hurt on his face as he walked off to his normal group of friends. "No we aren't! That's gross!" Ichigo yelled, playfully punching her friend.
"Oh but come on! There's pictures all over of you two!" Miwa said, pointing to a picture on the wall. "Look!"
Ichigo ran over to the picture to see the time she was crying in the rain before Valentines Day hugging Ryou. There was another picture of Ryou kissing Ichigo, and another of Ichigo blushing, her back facing Ryou. "That's gross I would never kiss him! Who's taking these pictures?!" Ichigo demanded an answer as the friends walked to their class.
"The ones who just love to stalk people." Moe laughed.
"Yeah, no one knows who takes any of the pictures around here, they're stealthy." Miwa agreed. "Hey, Ichigo, what's on your mind?" She asked, noticing Ichigo was looking down thinking about something.
Ichigo sighed. She really didn't feel like talking about it, but maybe it would be better if she did talk about it. She explained her dream to Moe and Miwa, leaving out the fact that Kisshu, Taruto, and Killi were Cyniclons and not 'these guys'. She also explained everything that happened between her and Ryou after her dream. "And I don't like him at all!" Ichigo yelled, dropping her head onto the desk.
"It sounds like you just need to go on a date with him!" Miwa said, patting her friends shoulder.
Moe smirked. "We have just the plan!" Miwa nodded, agreeing with Moe who seemed a bit to happy over this.
Ichigo still couldn't shake off Ransurot either. He seemed like an important Cyniclon, but so does Killi... Ichigo's brain hurt everytime she thought about them, so for the day, she pushed them out of her thoughts. "What? Who said I wanted to go on a date with that jerk?!" Ichigo squeaked, not expecting her friends to shove her into a date with someone.
"We did!" Moe and Miwa yelled in unison. Moe clapped her hands together. "I'm coming to the cafe with you, Ichigo!" She yelled happily.
But as the teacher walked in, everyone groaned. Once the day was over, Ichigo forgot that Moe was going to follow her to the cafe. "Ugh I'm so tired..." Ichigo whinned.
"Well why didn't you sleep?" Moe joked, expecting her friend to punch her.
Ichigo just laughed a little. "Couldn't.." She was wrong, she couldn't but she didn't say why she couldn't. "Why do you want me and Ryou to date so bad?" She asked.
"You guys are so cute!" Moe giggled, clapping her hands in front of her face.
"Bah that's gross!" Ichigo yelled. They reached the cafe and Moe started having second guesses. She pushed open the doors to the cafe and Ryou was walking by.
Moe stepped into the cafe, making Ryou look over. "R-Ryou?" She asked, making her crush stop walking and look at her. "Uhh... I was wondering if you... Um..." She really regretting doing this now. "Take Ichigo out on a date?" She took a step back and looked down at her feet.
"Why are you paring me with a complete jerk?!" Ichigo wailed, folding her arms and turning her back to her friend. "Well I have to get changed..." Moe nodded as Ichigo ran to the changing room.
"Shouldn't Ichigo be the one asking for that?" Ryou asked, leaning against the wall near her.
"A-ah... Well..." Moe and Ryou were talking for a bit as Ichigo and the others, minus Izumi, were cleaning.
"Where is Izumi?" Pudding whinned, having to do extra work. "For once Ichigo is somewhat on time and Izumi's late!"
Moe waved to Ryou and ran out of the cafe as Izumi walked in. "Speak of the devil." Lettuce whispered to Pudding.
"Last night, did anyone run into that creepy Cyniclon after we all went home?" Izumi asked, walking in a little.
"You did too?" Ichigo asked.
"Yeah... I didn't contact anyone though since he seemed like he didn't want to kill me.." Izumi sighed, rubbing her eyes as she walked to the changing room.
Lettuce and Pudding looked at Mitsukie. "So the only one he didn't vist, was Pudding and Lettuce... He left after I hit him." Mitsukie said, still washing the floors.
The day was fast since it was really busy, and they didn't have a chance to sit down and relax since Pudding was at the cash register, refusing to do any work. Which meant no one could switch out and have a break. "Ichigo, I want you to stay late tonight." Ryou called to her as she was running around.
"What- ugh fine." Ichigo sighed, but the day went on and everyone went home. Ichigo hated staying late. "So, what? What did I do wrong this time?"
"Nothing." Ryou said coldly. "I wanted to talk to you. Come to my room once you're changed." He said and walked up to his room. Ichigo blinked in confusion, but ran to the changing room and got dressed. She walked into his room and sat on his bed.
She looked at Ryou who was leaning against the wall. "You never tried to make my ears and tail show..." She said, folding her arms.
"I thought you didn't want to kiss me." Ryou chuckled a little. "But you did last night." Ichigo's face went red as she looked down. "Your friend wanted me to take you on a date, and wouldn't leave until I agreed... So... You free tomorrow?"
"Wh- I uhh..." Ichigo nodded. "I guess so... Wait why are you even taking me on a date?!"
Ryou sighed and sat next to her. "Because your friend obviously likes me and she wouldn't leave until I promised to take you on a date." He said, flicking her nose. "Don't get the wrong idea, Strawberry, I'm only doing this for your friend."
'Why am I even getting worked up over this?! I hate him! But... NO BUTS ICHIGO YOU HATE HIM!' She thought to herself. "Hey, Ryou? Why do you think that Ransurot guy would attack Izumi, Mitsukie, and I?" She asked, looking over at Ryou.
"How am I supposed to know?" He stood up and stuffed his hands into his pockets. "You're the leader, right?"
"But it doesn't make any sense!" Ichigo whinned. "Well anyway I should get home." She walked out of his room and started running home. 'And he came at a complete wrong time... He just HAD to come when I have a weird ass dream...' She thought to herself, hoping he wouldn't stop her from sleeping again tonight. 'He said something about potental the last time we all saw him... So- no you're stupid that would so not be it!' She sighed and walked to the kitchen, cooking herself some dinner.
Nothing was making sense to Ichigo, why was Ryou taking her out on a date?! Well sure he said because Moe wouldn't leave until he agreed, but there's got to be a deeper meaning! What was she missing?
Chiyo: Ok, way not what you were probably expecting, but chapter 8 was there to throw Ichigo into a rollercoaster of 'what the heck is going on' and then Ransurot didn't help her out... And I figured that Izumi liking someone would throw into the team not being as strong so yeah...
Ichigo: WhyAreYouMakingMeGoOnADateWithThatJerk...
Chiyo: Geez talk slower I can't understand you,,
Ichigo: WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME GO ON A DATE WTH THAT JERK!? *folds arms*
Chiyo: Because it's all part of the story :3 anyway, I know this isn't as long as chapter 8.2 but I'm aiming to slowly make my chapters longer so... Also I feel really bad because I feel like I let you guys down on this... Oh and a chapter won't be going up tomorrow -_- I had just enough time to update the story. ;-; Sorry, I'm going to be busy *cries in corner*
