Yuki blindly watched the horrific scene before him. He knew that his father would turn Taruto against Pudding no matter what the after effect would be. Taruto flew over to pudding twirling his click clacks deviously. His black eyes incandescent and unloving. Pudding feebly raised her head off of the floor. Bruises darkening her face. Tears fell from her doleful yes.

'Please Taru-Taru...please let me see your smile!' She rasped out before coughing up a dark liquid. Blood.

He mutely raised his weapon up and brought it down with a flash.

Yuki went completely blank. In his mind he flashed back to when he disappeared for several days. (Chapter eight)

He watched them every day together. Never apart. Never alone. Taruto had everything Yuki could only wish for. Pudding.

(Listen to 'that should be me' by Justin Bieber)

Everybody's laughing in my mind

Rumours spreadin' 'bout this other guy

Do you do what you did when you did with me?

Does he love you the way I can?

Did you forget all the plans that you made with me

Cause baby I didn't

That should be me holding your hand

That should be me making you laugh

That should be me this is so sad

That should be me that should be me

That should be me feeling your kiss

That should be me buying you gifts

This is so wrong

I can't go on

'Til you believe that

That should be me

That should be me

You said you needed a little time for my mistakes

It's funny how you used that time to have me replaced

Did you think that I wouldn't see you out at the movies?

What you doin' to me

You're taking him where we used to go

Now if you're tryin' to break my heart

It's working cause you know that

That should be me holding your hand

That should be me making you laugh

That should be me this is so sad

That should be me that should be me

That should be me feeling your kiss

That should be me buying you gifts

This is so wrong

I can't go on

'Till you believe

That should be me

I need to know should I fight for love

Or disarm

It's getting harder to shield

It's breaking my heart

Ooooh, ohhh

That should be me holding your hand

That should be me making you laugh

That should be me this is so sad

That should be me that should be me

That should be me feeling your kiss

That should be me buying you gifts

This is so wrong

I can't go on

'Till you believe

That that should be me (Holding your hand)

That should be me

(The one making you laugh) (Oh baby oh)

That should be me

That should be me

(Buying you flowers)

That should be me

(Talking for hours oh)

That should be me

That should be me

That should be me

Never should've let you go, I never should've let you go

That should be me, I never should've let you go

That should be me

That should be me with pudding. She doesn't deserve this. I have to fight him. Just as long as Pudding is safe. He thought.

His ultra-marine eyes flashed open. He was determined to keep pudding alive. Before Taruto could strike Yuki darted in front of Pudding and took the blow. It hit him in the chest sending him flying into the wall. He landed with a grunt next to pudding. He wheezed desperately for precious breath. Everyone was battling Kisshu who was twice as strong as Taruto.

Yuki didn't understand anything at all. Nothing seemed to make sense any more. Why could his father do this without feeling any pain or emotion? everything was wrong. So wrong.

Taruto was about to hit again when Yuki brought out his weapon, a cerulean flame fan. He pointed it in the direction of Tart sending out a billowing aqua-blue flame that hit Tart full in the face. He fell to the ground screaming with no sound. It was a creepy and eerie sight to behold sore eyes upon

'You really are a traitor aren't you Yuki?' Fantomu disgustedly asked silencing the whole room. With a swipe of his hand the two puppets stopped.

'Father, this shouldn't be like this! Your hurting people who don't deserve pain. I have lived under your rule for so long. I'm with Tokyo mew mew defending the earth! I will not listen to you any longer!' He screamed at his father.

'I see. Then I shall make you suffer painfully. Inside and out...'

He pointed in the direction of pudding lifting her up telepathically. She rose high in the air. Her front was covered with spatters of blood and her head lolled. With a snap of his fingers her eyes turned black. The sparkling chocolate brown completely disappearing. Pudding was placed upright on the floor. Then she zombily walked over to Yuki. She would her arms around him and kissed him full on the mouth. It was a passionate tongue Kiss that made Yuki burst into sparks inside. Irresistibly he closed his eyes and kissed back despite her being under a cruel spell.

'Now wakey wakey Taruto!' The ghostly voice screeched joyously from behind.

Everyone but Yuki and pudding watched in disbelief as Taruto and Kisshu were released from the spell. Taruto shook his head snapped his eyes open in complete shock.

'What the fuck is happening!' He screamed.

'Taruto it's not like that! It was Fantomu!' Ichigo shakily shouted at him. She had caught kisshu who had momentarily staggered in to her arms. Shirogane had transformed back from his can form. Lettuce and Pai held each other protectively.

'She's right Taruto!' Lettuce said.

Taruto took no blind notice. With all his power he ran into Yuki knocking the two of them over with a harsh thump. Then Taruto started punching him in the face. Blood covered his knuckles as he pounded them unforgivably over his body. Pai let go off lettuce and ran over to him to withdraw him. But instead he got punched in the arm which made him recoil. Fantomu just cackled wickedly in the background enjoying the 'glorious' sigh before him.

'TARUTO!' Pai barked at him grabbing a hold of his arms and pinning them behind his back.

Taruto continued to shout and aim harsh kicks at him. Yuki had turned onto his stomach clutching himself as he screamed out in unmerciful agony. His face became red and then his head collapsed to the floor.

'That should do it.' His father muttered before teleporting away.

Pudding mumbled before raising her battered face from the floor. Her eyes were no longer a chatoyant black colour but they were a dazzling chestnut brown again. She swivelled her head over to look at Yuki before letting out a strangled scream of complete pain.
