Chapter 10

The past

no future?

(Kish's POV)

I sat on top of the Tokyo tower, resting my head on my knees, hugging my legs to my body.

nine years.

That's how long I have known Pai. Nine years.

I was five when my parents took me out of school and stuck me in a boarding school for gifted children. I had apparently shown "talents" far beyond any other my age, which made me perfect to train to become a millinery leader for our planet.

I still remember the fear i felt as i stood before the huge stone building waving good bye to my family as they flew off and left me all alone in this school of strangers.

As I crossed the front grounds dragging my bag behind me, the children around me stopped and stared, making me nervous. Then that one awful little skin-headed child decided I wasn't aloud to lay low and get on with my life. He was going to make it rough.

But as he came at me with his taunting and his hard fists I remembered one of his mates breaking off from the group to stand in front of me, guarding me.

"Move away Pai or I'll hit you first!" the boy looked a little shocked by this quite, thoughtful boy that was now protecting someone he didn't even know.

"leave him Okoru, he's only a baby" the boy sounded so cold

"I'm no baby!" I cried, forgetting he was on my side "Im five!"

that caused the others to laugh. Pai shook his head at me.

"do not speak out of turn here, kodomo, you'll be beating"

I had never heard of a child being beating for talking, but when i noticed long dark bruises across Okoru's arm I decided I would try to be more like Pai. He looked like he had never been beating before.

Pai didn't know I had decided he was my new friend until first class when my sensai asked if there was anyone in the class I knew.

I pointed to Pai and instantly he became my guild to surviving in this strange school. We were room-mates and took many of the same classes, which Pai pretended to be bugged by.

No one gave me any bother with Pai around.

Although he was only eight he was powerful enough to blow a hole in the wall with his hand and could slice through wood with his hands. I proved I was certainly not helpless when I hung that sixteen year old baka from the school flag pole by his underwear for making fun of my high voice and soon after learnt beatings were no laughing matter. But life was pretty simple for me and Pai, until the day a new new-kid came along.

I was six and Pai was nine. One night I was sneaking out through our bedroom window for a nigh time fly when I heard voices. I hid behind the big skip and saw a hooded figure running off away from the school. Soon after I heard crying. I flouted down to the small bundle of cloth from which the sound was coming. I peeled a bit of fabric away to reveal a child's face. Tartuto.

his name was carved into the side of the box he'd been left in.

I brought him inside and the nurse did the rest. He had been abandoned for unknown reasons so I offered to watch him with Pai (much to his annoyance) and the tree of use have been together since.

Tart also was skilled with fighting so it seemed right when it was us three that were chosen to go to earth and save our planet. Although we had other close friends no one could get between us, even it they tried. I could still vaguely remember our second best friend, and how he had always hated being called that, even though we all knew it was true. He would hate us now if we where to see him again, after how our mission failed.

Even though it didn't go according to plan, we will save our people, that's what matters.

Then when we were sent to exile because of "murdering" Deep Blue we all stuck together as we tried desperately to get our hands on some mew aqua to save our planet. We were always there for each other.

But now..now I was a mew mew.

And everything I once had, was lost.

Hotaru lay on his bed, cushioning his head with his hands, thinking.

He thought of his past, of Kishu, and began to wonder if his mission was really worth it. But they he remembered seeing Kish pinning down Minto and kissing her, and all good feeling went away.

"That Kish has always been trouble to me, as well as Pai..and there little friend Tart always seemed so annoying and bratty, I'll be glad when there are all gone!" he rolled onto his side, sighing.

If they had only chosen me to go instead of Kish, Deep Blue would be alive and we would be living like kings! Then maybe, Kish and I could still be friends..he wouldn't have fallen for that GIRL that's for sure...

Hotaru drifted of to sleep as he gave one last (not to nice) thought

If only the mew aqua hadn't revived them...

"what now Pai?" Tart looked over at his only friend left, worry in his voice clear.

"we fight the mews like we always have, you know destroying them will lift our exile" Pai was so good at acting fine Tart felt a bit mad.

"so we just start beating on Kish likes he was never our friend?!"

Pai stood and walked over to Tart, who flinched, expecting to be punched.

"yes Tart, that is exactly what we are going to do" he said calmly "after Kish makes one little choice.."

Tart looked at him "what's that?"

"rejoin us and use his new power to help defeat the mews or....we'll defeat him"
