One Step Too Far Chapter 10

Bonds

Recap: "Well, that is where the Mew Aqua comes in," said Pai.

"What is Mew Aqua?" Narano-sama asked.

"It is water in its purest form, with the ability to heal anything," Pai said. "Emiko actually proved it could bring Cyniclons back to life. You see, when we fought the Mews the last time-"

"Wait, who are the Mews?" Narano-sama asked.

"They were the group that opposed our mission. The last time we fought them, they killed Kisshu, Taruto and myself. Luckily Emiko had been told to come only if she felt we were in danger. By the time she got there we were dead, however. Emiko killed three of the Mews, then took their leader to the Mew's base and held her hostage in order to obtain the Mew Aqua to revive us," Pai said. "As you see, we are alive again, due to Emiko's quick thinking."

"Emiko, how did you come up with that strategy on such short notice?" Narano-sama asked curiously.

Emiko replied, "Pai had told me of the properties of Mew Aqua, that it could heal and even restore life that was lost. When I reached the battlefield after sensing that Kisshu was in danger, I saw Pai, Kisshu and Taruto dead. But instead of going crazy like I did when my family was killed, I went cold. My mind immediately started going over possibilities, even as I killed the Mews. By the time I had killed Mew Mint, I had already decided. I would take Mew Ichigo, the leader, hostage and use her as a bargaining chip to gain the Mew Aqua the Mews possessed. As I suspected, the plan worked, and I got all their Mew Aqua- about twenty pieces. I used three of the pieces to bring Kisshu, Pai and Taruto back to life."

"Does that mean Mew Ichigo is still alive?" Narano-sama asked.

"No, Deep Blue ordered us to kill her and her boyfriend after I brought Kisshu, Pai and Taruto back to life," Emiko said. "The only Mew still living is the youngest, Mew Pudding. We decided to let her live, seeing as she was only a child. This was before we realized Deep Blue had disappeared, so we figured that she would die anyways when he was awakened. The creators of the Mew Project are also dead, so they can't make any more Mews."

"Well, that's good news," Narano-sama said. "However, one thing you mentioned interests me. You said you could sense that Kisshu was in danger. That's not a very common trait in Cyniclons. Forming a bond is the only way a Cyniclon can sense another Cyniclon's feelings or if they're in danger. Do you have a bond with Kisshu?"

"Yes," Emiko responded.

"Emiko, you have a bond with me?" Kisshu asked.

"Yes, you didn't know?" Emiko said.

"No," replied Kisshu.

"Maybe it's a one-way thing," Emiko said. "Can you sense my feelings?"

Kisshu concentrated, and finally said, "I think so. You're kind of nervous."

Emiko blushed. "Y-yeah, I'm not good with meeting new people. Sorry."

"Oh, that's okay, you're also on a completely different planet, and there's a lot of people you've never met," Kisshu reassured her. "I'll help you learn, okay?"

"Thanks, Kisshu," Emiko said with a grateful smile. Kisshu smiled back.
