CHAPTER 14: SHATTERED GLASS
ME NO OWN TOKYO MEW (I IS GOING CRAZY WITH CAPS LOCK! ^^)
Ami stared at her parents shocked, eyes wide, mouth open, and mind spinning. She couldn't believe what her parents were telling her. The story seemed to last forever, but that was only because of the pauses Pai took in telling his daughter the one thing he wished he didn't have to. He wished he'd never have to.
"Ami," Pai said her name softly causing Ami to look up at him when she had been staring at the floor, "Do you understand everything we' ve told you?"
Ami stared at her father. She understood everything except one thing. Her parents had just told her that Planet Cyniclone was going to "die out" and that because of her special DNA her power would be able to save it. But but..
"But why can't I do it?!" Ami yelled, tears were streaming down her face. Pai closed his eyes and sighed, Lettuce stared at her daughter as her own eyes became watery, Ichigo turned her head unable to watch the sight, while Kisshu just shook his head slowly.
"Ami you know why you can't do it," Pai answered her softly, reaching out to touch her face. Ami pulled back out of his reach.
"No!" she yelled, the tears coming faster, "its not fair! I don't want you to leave me!" Ami yelled bursting into sobs. The sight of this broke Lettuce's heart as she ran to comfort her daughter. She wrapped her arm around Ami and Ami immediately began to cry in her mother's chest each sob louder than the last. Lettuce looked up at Pai, who's eyes were watery but the tears had yet to fall. Lettuce leaned her head down and began to cry with her daughter.

"It's a trick, I'm telling you!" Mai yelled her voice serious.
"I don't know," Isamu said softly. His head hung low as he leaned against a pillar in the royal throne room. No one was on a throne though. Mai was standing in the center of the room, and Katsu was pacing near a corner. "Lettuce seemed pretty serious."
"Don't tell me you believe her!" Mai snapped at him, "Come on Isamu, obviously they're leading us, making us think they're going to help then the chance they get, they're on the first ship out of here!"
"Do you honestly think that?" Isamu asked his voice sort of disgusted, "Is that what you think of them?"
"Lettuce has no reason to sacrifice herself for this planet!" Mai yelled getting furious again, "Why would she!? I'm telling you they're going to try and leave."
"Well after what we almost did, I wouldn't blame them if they did," Isamu said sharply, hoping his words would stab Mai. They did.
"Am I the only one here with my people's best interest at heart!" She yelled, "You know I only did that to save this planet Isamu!"
"Did you?" Isamu spat, standing up straight he slowly walked towards her, "Was that for the planet? Or was that just your revenge?"
"What?" Mai asked her eyes grew wider as she took a step back. Katsu's ears perked up.
"Come on Mai, I mean at first I actually believed you that you wanted to save the planet and all but it was more than that wasn't it, Mai? That's why you didn't tell me Pai and Lettuce didn't say yes and that's why you didn't tell Katsu about it isn't it? That would ruin the whole plan, wouldn't it!?" Isamu was right in front of Mai, glowering down at her, "You wanted that little girl to die, not just for this planet but to get revenge on Lettuce, right? Take something from her just as she did to you. Tell me did seeing Pai again bring back some feelings?"
SMACK A red mark was left on Isamu's cheek where Mai had slapped him across the face. Isamu turned to glare at her then an angry smirk came across his face. "Did I strike a nerve there?"
"You insolent -"
"Watch it!" Isamu growled.
"I could have you killed for talking to me like this!" Mai yelled, "That's no way to speak to a queen."
"I'll remember that when I see one," Isamu said flatly.
"Isamu!" Mai gasped, she felt betrayed.
"Don't! You know I'm right!" Isamu yelled, "I have no idea what there is in you that Katsu sees! He's the only reason I stayed around here, but it doesn't even matter." He reached and pulled a badge that was pinned onto his uniform off and threw it to the ground in front of Mai, " because I'm done." He turned and teleported off.
Mai stared down at the floor where Isamu's badge lay. She turned to walk off but found herself face to face with Katsu. The look he had on his face was that of disbelief, pain, sorrow, and disappointment.
"Is it true?" he asked in a tone Mai had never heard before, it almost scared her. She was frozen in fear as if her answer would send her crashing into the nearest wall. All she did was look down and that was enough for Katsu. She didn't have to look up to know he was walking away, with each step he took she hated herself even more.

Pai had his arms wrapped around both Lettuce and Ami as they continued to cry. Their family was being torn apart, and there was nothing he could do. Only an alien and a Mew could stand in that generator and make it work or his daughter. Lettuce had made the decision, neither wanted to sacrifice their daughter. She was only six, she had a life to live and they both wanted that for her. Ichigo and Kisshu would raise her and they knew she would be safe with them. They would risk it for Ami and love her just as they could.
Suddenly, Isamu appeared before them. Pai looked up and saw him. His eyes immediately became slits and he let out a snarl.
"What do you want?!" Pai growled his voice was as deadly as the look on his face. Lettuce looked up her face was more scared than angry, Ami refused to raise her head.
"I know you want to kill me right now, I deeply apologize for the incident that had occurred, but please listen to me," Isamu quickly stated, "There is a ship ready for you, please just leave, we've done enough to you already." They all stared at him.
"Another trap?" Kisshu asked.
"No I promise you it's not. Please leave and just forget about this place. We should have never pulled you into this Pai. I deeply apologize." Isamu said, his voice truly apologetic.
"No," Pai said firmly.
"I promise you this isnt a tr-"
"No, not because of that," Pai started, "because I'm not going to run away and abandon my planet, my home. We said we were going to do this and we will. Thank you, Isamu" he finished and nodded towards Isamu.
Isamu stared on as Pai's attention turned back to his family as he pulled them into a tighter hug. He heard the little girl let out a sob as if she had been holding it in for awhile. This is what they were doing to them: Destroying a family.
Isamu's head lowered. He teleported to his room and began to gather his things for his departure. "Was Mai ever wrong," he said under his breath.
