CHAPTER 14: Surfing

I hate boats.

I hate them with all my heart.

All the mews, aliens, and humans were on one of Ryou's little speed boats out in the middle of the ocean. How we got here?

Like I remember!

I'm too busy hanging off the edge, vomiting.

Did I mention it's raining? It's making the tide extra powerful, only making me sicker.

"Will Vanilla be ok?" Pudding asked Ryou, and everyone looked at me hanging off the edge.

"…just go…save Lettuce…I'll be fine…" I made out. Was Kishu laughing at me?

"Okay, Vanilla will stay here with me and Akasaka. The rest of you take one of these and head down into the water. There should be a small sea cave at the bottom. Go inside, find Lettuce, and bring her back. Avoid any confrontations if possible." Ryou quickly explained, handing out a blue colored candy to the mews. They ate it without hesitation.

"Ryou…you know…it's illegal to…give children drugs?" I asked and he glared at me.

"They are pills that help us breath underwater." Ichigo answered.

"Alright everyone, let's head down." Pai announced and they nodded.

"MEW MEW STRAWBERRY!"

"MEW MEW PUDDING!"

"MEW MEW MINT!"

"MEW MEW ZAKURO!"

"METAMORPHESIS!"

And with that, they all changed into their mew forms.

"Let's go!" Ichigo called and the mews, along with the aliens, dived into the sea.

. . .

"Does either…of you…by chance…have some…pain killers?"

(Ichigo's POV)

The cave we had entered was behind creepy. It had boss growing everywhere, wines reaching out of cracks in the wall, and black coral at the bottom of it.

"We're getting close." Zakuro whispered and everyone took out their weapons.

"Pudding worried about Vanilla." Pudding pouted, only to be shushed by Mint.

In truth, I was worried about the fox mew too. Ever since she got back from the battle with Takeru she's been acting…different…

"STOP POKING ME WITH THAT, TAKERU!" We froze at the female voice that echoed through the cave.

Zakuro nodded at our confused looks, signaling it was the demon that captured Lettuce.

As we approached the voice, we came upon a huge room. It wasn't at all like the cave, in fact, there was computers and desks everywhere.

In the middle of the room stood Hiroki, Takeru, and the girl in front of a large tank. In side it was an unconscious Lettuce.

"It's my tail, it's not like I can control it." Takeru snapped. I had to snicker as the comment vaguely reminded me of a certain mew.

"Takeru, Katsumi, quit bickering so we can begin the tests." Hiroki growled, causing the two other demons to straighten out.

"There won't be any tests today, demons!" I called out, leaping out of hiding with the others.

The demons turned to us and frowned. "Awww, I was hoping the fox would show." Takeru whined, and Katsumi punched him in the shoulder.

"Stop talking like a love sick moron and kill them!" she hissed as he rubbed his shoulder.

"We won't let you get away with capturing our friend! Everyone, let's go!"

"RIBBOOOOON MINT ECHO!"

"RIBBOOOOON PUDDING RING INFERNO!"

"RIBBOOOOON ZAKURO SPEAR!"

"RIBBOOOOON STRAWBERRY SURPRISE!"

The demons managed to dodge all of our attacks with ease, but failed to notice that Taruto had snuck behind them.

"Hissatsu-Hourai-Kyuu!" and with that he threw his click-clacks at the tank, successfully smashing it to pieces.

"Darn that brat!" Hiroki hissed, grabbing Taruto and throwing him against one of the cave walls.

"TARU-TARU!" Pudding cried, rushing over to the fallen kid alien.

"Fuu-Hyou-Sen!" Pai shot his ice shard attack at the demons, at which they dodged again.

Little did they know Kishu had teleported to Lettuce and teleported both her and him away. I looked behind me to make sure they were there. They were.

"That's it! I'm sick of these games!" Katsumi snapped, holding up her claw like hands.

"Kokoro-Genkaku! (Heart Illusion!)" She clapped her hands together, and there was a weird misty feeling around us.

"What's going on?" Mint cried, watching as the cave began to get foggy.

"It's my special battle technique. I bet you'll find it 'heart wrenching'." Laughed Katsumi as she and the other demons disappeared into the mist.

There was a squeal and we looked at Zakuro who was shaking like a leaf…in front of a huge beetle!

"It plays with our fears and emotions! It's not real!" Pai yelled, but was ignored as Mint screamed as well.

"You guys we have to-…" I was interrupted as I saw someone familiar walk out of the mist…covered in his own blood…d-dying…

"Ichigo…" The person lifted his head. It was Masaya.

"M-Masaya!" I cried. It can't be! He can't be here, he can't be dying!

Before I could run to him, Kishu walked right threw him. "It's an illusion Ichigo, just as Pai said." He reminded, a bit agitated. 'Masaya' wavered a bit before disappearing into thin air.

"R-right…"I looked at my feet, a bit embarrassed I had fallen for the trick.

"OY! Wake up!" I looked over to see Pai shaking a now unconscious Zakuro. "S-she fainted!" Mint cried, looking around frantically.

From the corner of my eye I could see Pudding helping Taruto up onto his feet. Lettuce was just starting to wake up.

"Huh...I could have sworn I was a top a building a minute ago…" She pondered then looked around.

"Lettuce, you were kidnapped and were trapped in an illusion! Can you help?" I asked, helping her onto her feet. She stared at me for a moment before nodding.

"RIBBOOOOON LETTUCE RUSH!"

With that, a large wave swept the mist away, revealing the room now completely destroyed with no demons in sight.

"They must have fled while we were trapped in the illusion…" Pai sighed in frustration as he scooped the still unconscious Zakuro into his arms.

"…which means they are still nearby…" Lettuce added. There was a long moment of silence.

Then, the realization hit us like a bull.

"RYOU! AKASAKA! VANILLA!"

(Vanilla's POV)

I groaned as another big wave hit the boat. When was the torture going to end?

"Quit complaining, the others are down they're risking they're life's while you groan about a simple sea sickness." Ryou spat and I shot him a glare.

"You forgot to a bring medicine, so I will complain and-…"I was interrupted as another rogue wave hit the boat. "Screw you Mother Nature!"

Ryou sighed and continued typing on his lab top as Akasaka maneuvered the boat against the waves.

"Demon's nearby! Demon's nearby!" I looked up to see Masha darting around frantically.

"Ryou, are you sure you fixed him?" he sighed and stood up from his spot in the passenger seat.

"I did, so if he says there's a demon nearby, it's definitely close." He walked over to where I was and peered over into the water.

. . .

"Why are you looking down there when we're up here?" the voice startled me and my head smacked Ryou's. He stumbled back and was about to yell at me when his gaze suddenly caught something.

I followed it out to sea where 3 figures stood on the water.

It was Takeru, Hiroki, and the girl demon.

"What are you doing here?" I stood up, still a little shaky. Takeru frowned at this.

"We just came up to play. Why are you so pale, did you get sea sick?" He laughed at my flustered look.

"We'll take you 3 out while my Illusion is still in affect…" the demon girl smiled, cracking her knuckles.

This is so unfair. 2 humans and sick mew vs. 3 demons?

"Just try it!" I hissed, holding up my pendant. "You're an idiot if you think you can fight in your condition!" Ryou hissed. I ignored him.

"MEW MEW VANILLA METAMORPHESIS!"

In a flash of light I was in my mew outfit, and even dizzier then when I wasn't.

"This'll be easy…" Hiroki smiled, taking out his long black sword. Takeru's talons extended and the demon girl unsheathed her daggers.

Well, I had a nice life.

Too bad it's going to end in a few seconds.

With that cheerful thought in mind I yelled, "ICE ROD" and held the weapon out in front of me.

"I'm going to enjoy this!" The demon girl laughed and the 3 charged.

"RIBBOOOON VANILLA BLIZZARD!"

Note to self: Don't use that attack over water

Almost immediately it turned to ice, causing the demons to slip and fall. Our boat stopped completely as a huge wave crashed into the ice, breaking it into many different pieces.

Unfortunately, this caused me to fall off the boat onto a thin piece of ice.

"Vanilla! Ride it like a surfboard!" Ryou called as the block I was on floated away from the boat and toward the ice the demons were on.

"What the heck is a 'surfboard'?" I cried and he face palmed.

"You played winter sports, think of it a snowboard!" Akasaka explained. Oh, now I see.

I quickly hopped up into my snowboarding stand and started to maneuver against the waves. I even did a trick or two.

"I know you having fun and all but could you take care of them!" Ryou yelled, pointing to the standing demons.

I sighed and held out my rod as the block I was on sailed toward there's.

"RIBBOOOOOON VANILLA BLIZZARD!"

A blast of snow hit the demons who started to shiver uncontrollably.

"Dang it! I blame you for this Takeru!"

"How is this my fault, Katsumi?"

"Will you two shut up! We're done here!"

And with that, they disappeared in their own ways. I cheered, and failed to notice my ice block was still heading straight towards theirs.

Crash!

And I fell flat on my face.

Ya, so heroic.

"Vanilla, are you alright!" Akasaka asked he pulled the boat up to the side of the ice block.

I stayed lying there as I held up thumbs up.

He laughed and Ryou sighed in annoyance.

I have to admit, no matter how terrible that battle looked, I actually enjoyed surfing.

…maybe I'll buy myself a 'surfboard'…

(No one's POV)

"How is it that we can take on all the other mews and Cyniclons and not one little sick mew?"

"It defies logic…she certainly is a mystery…"

"Then we have a plan of action I suppose?"

"Yes, our next target…"

"…will be…"

"The fox mew!"

Uh oh! vanilla is being targeted! what will happen now!

vanilla: why me?

because we're not getting enough VanillaXTakeru, that's why

Vanilla: uuuuuugh
