Tokyo Passion

PoD- "READ!"

XIII

Sinbad walked down an empty street and looked down at the ground. He knelt down and took his sword in his hand and stabbed the ground. He pushed it down until a light exploded under him and came up around his swords. He reached ino the crack and retrieved a Mew Aqua and put it into his pocket.

"Sinbad, was it?" Kish asked. Sinbad stood up an stared at Kish.

"Kisshu, was it?" Sinbad replied.

"I'm going to make you pay for trying to take my Kitten!" Kish shouted angrily.

"You're Kitten? You mean my Mew Rikka " Sinbad stated.

Kish growled and grabbed her his two swords from the air. "DIE!!!"

"Stop it!" Rikka shouted turning into Ryou. She cletched his shirt tightly as she began to sink towards the floor. "Stop it, please. I don't want to see anymore of it."

Ryou grabbed her shoulders and pulled her up to her feet. "No, Rikka. You said you were going to watch it and there's one part you still need to see." Rikka shook her head with her blankness returning and her tears welling up in her eyes. "Rikka!"

Sinbad fought with Kish for what seemed like forever. While this fight was going on he hadn't noticed Pai sneaking up behind him. Pai raised up his hand and smirked.

"Fuu Rai Sen!"

Sinbad flew past Kish and into a building. He stumbled up and fought against them for hours until he was too weak to continue. He collapsed on the ground and the aliens vanished. he stared at the sky and smiled.

"Rikka, I love you so much."

As he said the last words he transformed into his human form...Kyo.

"KYO-KUN!!!!" she screamed. She stared at the screen and then pushed away from Ryou. She ran over to Kiichiro and looked at the screen closely. "Keiichiro, where? Where is he? There still might be time to save him? Where is -"

"Rikka...he's gone. He's been gone. You know that," Keiichiro stated. "This is how he ended up in the hospital and the way you saw him, Rikka."

"Eh? H-His...dead. That's right. I let him...go and he l-left..."

Rikka's eyes slowly went blank again. She went silent and stared at the floor. Suddenly she felt Ryou holding her. She didn't move at first then she hesitantly pressed them against his back. She closed her eyes and smiled. Keiichiro snuck away to give them privacy.

"Rikka, I'm sorry," Ryou whispered.

"No, don't be. Please," Rikka whispered and she looked up at him, "I just want to know how you really geel about -"

Before Rikka could finish Ryou pursed his lips against her cheek and then curled them around her lips. She stared in shock and astonishment at his closed, relaxed eye lids. She felt so many emotions sweeping through her she began to cry. She closed her eyes, while still in his tender kiss, and wrapped her arms around his neck and rose to her toes to get the full potential of his sweet taste.

Ichigo, Zakuro, Pudding, Minto, and Lettuce stared at them from the stairs. Keiichiro tapped Ichigo on her back and she squeaked as she turned around. Everyone else did as well and tey shot upstairs. Keiichiro peeked in on them and Ichigo grabbed his pony-tail.
Ryou and Rikka seperated. She stared up at him with crimson cheeks and swollen eyes. He pushed her bangs out of her face and kissed her forehead.

"How about we have some fun tonight?" he asked. "We're throwing a party tonight and I'd be honored if I could escort you."

"Sure."

Music played in te cafe, echoing softly through each corner and each ear. Rikka stood in Ryou's room with Lettuce as she finished getting ready. She and the girls went out shopping so she could find a dress. She put it on and was now getting help fromlettuce with her hair.

Her dress had a sleeveless bodic and was mostly white. She had a blue band that stretched across the top of her chest and around her waist. There was a bow on her left hip just above where a slit began on her leg.

The skirt had three layers: one of white, then blue, then light blue. She had white, banded gloves raising up to her elbows and sparkling heels. She wore large silver earings with a bright smile painted across her glossed lips.

"I'm so glad you're feeling better, Rikka," Lettuce stated.

Rikka giggled. "Thank you for helping me," Rikka replied.

"My pleasure," Lettuce answered. "C'mon. Ryou's waiting and he's very impatient."

Lettuce left and ran downstairs. Rikka observed her hair in the reflection. Her hair was up in curls and she had two curls looping out from above her hair. She turned to the side and noticed a sparkling snowflake clip on her pony-tail. She giggled as the door creaked open.

"Are you ready?" Keiichiro asked.

Rikka blushed. "Y-Yes. I-Is he down there?" she asked softly.

Keiichrio held out his arm and Rikka looped her arm in his. "He's waited as long as he can, he won't last much longer down there."

"Oh...okay."

Keiichiro escorted her cown the stairs and Ryou turned as he heard the last step creak. He smirked as the light luminated off of her figure. She blushed when she saw Ryou staring at her in awe. He approached them and keiichiro stepped away, and Ryou held out his hand as he bowed as though she were royality.

"May I have a dance?" he asked.

Rikka nodded an took his hand. He pulled her close to him and she rested her head on his chest as they began to whirl through the room with the other couples. A few minutes passed and Ryou swept Rikka away to a balcony. Rikka stood on the balcony's rail and stared into the stars that twinkled in Ryou's eyes.

Ryou caressed her cheek and leaned closer toward her. She put a hand against his chest and he withdrew himself.

"I'm...sorry Ryou," she whispered.

"No, it's fine," Ryou replied. He crossed his arms on the railing and looked up at her. "Do you need anything?"

"Something to drink would be nice."

Ryou nodded and turned back into the party. Rikka sighed and turned. She heard a chuckling rise to her ears as she leaned over the rail.

"Nice one, Kitten," he chuckled. Rikka looked up and stared at Kish as he sat crossed-legged floating in the aair in front of her. He jumped onto the railing and grabbed her arm and her waist and pulled her against him. "So how about a dance?"

"Kisshu?" Rikka shouted. She pushed him away and fell onto the balcony. "W-What are you doing here?"

"Crashing the party with you!" Kish replied grinning malevolently. Rikka stood up and glared at him. "Hey, Kitten, this won't be any fun unless you help me out-" Kish pointed a remote at Rikka and she took a step away "-Let the part begin!!!"

"Argh!"

Rikka fell beckwards and Ryou caught her. Nina glared up at Ryou and sent a shock through Rikka and straight into him. He shouted in pain through clenched teeth and stared at Kish through narrowed eyes. Rikka suddenly gasped and put her head into her hands as she closed her eyes and screamed through clenched teeth, as Ryou did.

W-What's happening? I can't control myself? Argh! Rikke thought.

Black Rikka, please, help Kisshu. Ryou is trying to hurt him! Nina spoke to Rikka.

Kisshu chuckled as he floated over them as thogh he was laying on the floor. He smirked as he watched Rikka's ears curl out from the side of her head and her tail rolled out from under her dress.

"Kitten, transform for me!" Kish shouted.

"R-Rikka...don't," Ryou whispered though Nina's shock still was being produced and getting stronger.

"M-Mew...Black...Mew...B-Black - argh!"
