Chapter 21:~Attempted Revenge
The past couple weeks had been pretty much Chimera free, thankfully, which meant Pai, Takumi and Kisshu had been using the time to teach Ichigo to use her new powers as they would be helpful in battle.
Kisshu still had a lot to teach her though but she had learned everything perfectly so far.
Pai and Takumi had taught her everything they knew and she had somehow managed to learn and remember it all and she could fly and levitate objects as well as any of the other aliens, sometimes even better.
Unlucky for Kisshu she was great at flying and could move around silently giving her the perfect chance to get him back for all those years of stalking, and appearing from nowhere only to be harassed before he would actually attack her.
So he had been extremely jumpy these past weeks as he knew that his kitten could act just as bad as him when she wanted to and was not looking forward to her teasing even though he did like her being so close to him.
He was sat on top of a bookshelf in the living room with Akio, Ryou, Mint and Akari but would not come down because he was scared that his Koneko-Chan was going to scare him again, last time he was sat on the Kitchen counter which he was not normally meant to do when his mother was around and Ichigo knew this all to well.
She had managed to impersonate Satomi perfectly now and to her amusement used it against Kisshu, floating up behind him silently she yelled in Satmoi's voice,
"Kisshu Ikisatashi, what have I told you about sitting on the counter tops young man!"
He rushed so much to get off from fright of his mother forgetting she wasn't actually here, he fell to the ground with a soft thud causing Ichigo and everyone else to burst into fits of laughter.
"Oh..My.." Ichigo said breathless from laughing, "Kish your so funny!" and she continued to laugh again.
He had tried to be angry but seeing how he had made her smile like that he couldn't help but smile to, but he was not looking forward to her next trick.
"Kisshu will you come down already!" Akari yelled up to him.
"Yeah, it's just Ichigo, how scary can she be?" Mint added, but Kisshu, Akio and Ryou glance between each other then gave her looks that said 'terrifying'.
"I know it's just Koneko-Chan but she just comes from no where and I never know when." he tried to reason with them.
"Hmm, doesn't that sound just like someone we know." Ryou remarked as everyone looked at Kisshu with smirks and raised eyebrows.
Kisshu smiled bashfully at that, "Ever thought that she might just be getting you back for all your years of teasing- well stalking." Akari asked.
"No, Kitten wouldn't do that." Kisshu thought out loud.
"Yes I would!" Ichigo shouted sweetly from the Kitchen where she had heard the whole conversation while making Pudding and Taruto food.
Kisshu looked panicked at this which made everyone laugh, "Man, you're not afraid of anything, but, Ichigo who is a lot smaller and weaker than you, you are scared of!" Akio teased.
"What was that?" Ichigo asked her voice dripping with honey looking at Akio while leaning on the door frame.
"N-Nothing" he replied trying to sound brave as Kisshu snickered.
"Good." she smiled and winked as she went back to the kitchen to finish up before she joined them.
"See what I mean." Kisshu pointed out.
"Just out of interest, how is sitting on the bookshelf going to help you?" Mint asked.
"Kitten can't get me up here." He told her proudly, but he hadn't realized Ichigo floating up behind him as everyone fought to keep straight faces.
"Oh yes she can." Ichigo whispered hotly down his neck causing him to shriek and fall forward almost bring the bookcase down with him that Ichigo caught.
He landed on the floor staring up in horror at the girl who now sat cross-legged were he was waving down at him with a smirk on her face.
The others couldn't hold it any longer and started laughing again as Ichigo gracefully floated down landing softly on the floor walking over to help Kisshu up, as he took her hand she said,
"You make it way to easy." as she pulled him to his feet, only for him to drop back down and beg at her feet causing her to gasp in surprise.
"Please, Please no more, I can't take it." he begged peeking up to look at her thinking face turn back down to look at him.
"Hmm, I dunno, that never worked when I asked you to stop." She winked and went to talk to Mint and Akari leaving Kisshu staring up in disbelief, this girl had made him beg, he never begged anyone!
"She has you wrapped around her little finger you know." Akio told him in a 'matter of fact' way.
"Yeah I know, but does she." He answered looking over to her longingly, to him she was pure perfection.
That afternoon everyone had gone back outside again because of the heat and Ichigo was trying to decide what she could do to Kisshu now, she was finally getting her own on him after his years of constant teasing.
He was laid down on the chair next to her and she remember that he was really ticklish, so she sat up and floated above him and began to tickle his exposed chest as he had no shirt on.
His eyes shot open as he started to laugh hysterically still not seeing who was tickling him, his attacker paused to let him breath and he saw his Koneko-Chan floating above him giggling.
He smiled at this and realizing that he had the perfect opportunity jumped forward pinning her down on the grass tickling her sides her stomach causing her to laugh harder squirming underneath him to break free.
The others noticed this and smiled realizing that they really were perfect for each other.
"At least he's getting his own back." Takumi commented just as Ichigo managed to flip Kisshu over now on top tickling him, "Kind of."
They finally finished their tickling war with Ichigo pinning him down as they were both breathless, her cheeks were slightly flushed which in Kisshu's opinion made her even cuter.
As she went to pick her self up off of him, Kisshu grabbed her waist and pulled her back down into a hug resting her head on his shoulder, waiting for her to scream at him he was thrilled when she actually hugged him back and they both lay there for the rest of the afternoon, talking about everything and anything just happy to be with the other; she was really starting to fall for him.
Ichigo had finally given up scaring Kisshu as she was tired out from all her revenge seeking and all was pretty much back to normal, well whatever normal was now that is.
"Shall we have another training session today Kitten?" Kisshu asked.
"Sure." she replied now used to her nicknames.
So about 10 minutes later they were both outside and Kisshu was stood behind her wrapping his arms around her moving her arms and hands into the correct position for the next thing he was teaching her, moving one back and forth instead of holding them stationary in the air.
"Okay so you've done this before but you were pretty mad at the time so you probably can't remember how you did it." Kisshu said knocking on her head twice as she batted him away, "Smart Kitty." he teased.
She brought both her hands up this time pointing them at Kisshu who was bracing himself prepared for any power she sent at him, as her eyes changed back to pink, "Remember you don't actually have to move both your hands forward just imagine it, but you can add more force by doing that as you have already seen." and she laughed nervously remembering, before coming back to the task at had.
"Okay let's have another go at this then." She said confidently.
"All right, so try to move me backwards," he instructed, "slowly!" he added knowing she was powerful.
She did as asked at sent him backwards slowly and carefully with no injures, they continued this force some time focusing on moving backwards to start as he ran at her from different angles.
"Great!" he beamed amazed by his Koneko-Chan, she really was special, as she smiled back.
"Okay so now what?" she asked eager to continue.
"This time try and send me back with as much force as you can, oh and if you could catch me as well if you fling me as hard as last time." He winked at her.
He was already stood in the middle of the garden while she was stood next to the fence, she just needed to move him to the other fence. So she raised her hands and thought of the fence she wanted to send him to and she saw it sending the power rushing out of her hands but instead of him flinging back she was met with his presence pressing her against the fence ,face almost touching hers, smirking down at her.
She laughed nervously rubbing the back of her neck with her hands, "Wrong fence." she said sheepishly.
They had not been this close in a while and Kisshu was enjoying it, "No no Koneko-Chan, you definitely got the right fence." he teased but stopped as their gazes caught, she still had the gold flecks but the pink had reappeared in his eyes not seconds ago.
They gasped at the other noticing how close they really were not seeing Mint, Lettuce and Ryou who were walking over to the two to see how the lesson was going.
Kisshu slowly began to bring his lips down to her and Ichigo brought her's to him and before any of the three walking over to them could say anything, the gap between them closed as their lips joined remembering the feeling from before smiling into the kiss.
Ichigo pulled him closer and he came gladly both blocking out their surroundings,
"Did they...are they?" Lettuce stuttered, as Ryou and Mint nodded dumbfounded she really was falling for him.
"Ichigo!" Ryou called hoping to get their attention, but as Kisshu kissed her even more she flexed her hand unknowingly sending the three flying backwards, thankfully, into the soft bushes in Aunt Kana's tropical garden.
"Ichigo!" Mint called angrily, pulling twigs from her hair staring at her friend who obviously wasn't listening.
"I don't think they want to be disturbed." Lettuce pointed out shyly to her two fuming colleagues.
"I guess you are right, especially if our fate depends on this." Mint admitted pointing to the two.
"Do you think we should tell them that lunch is ready." Lettuce asked.
"Risk being flung into another bush or face the wrath of Kana?" Ryou weighed up the risks of each deciding on Ichigo sending them flying across the garden.
Ichigo and Kisshu broke apart reluctantly, needing air to breathe, Ichigo had a slight blush on her face and Kisshu was grinning like an idiot as they lent against each others foreheads,
"Change of heart Kitten?" Kisshu asked teasing but still in a hopeful tone.
As Ichigo was about to respond her pink eyes looked up from the golden suns for a second to glimpse their three friends walking over to them, with...twigs and..leaves in their hair? Kisshu noticed she was distracted and turned to see what had been so interesting and looked just as confused as her.
"Umm, not that I don't like it or anything, It's and interesting style" Ichigo started kindly, "But why do you have twigs and leaves in your hair?" she finished.
"Well lets just say that while you and Kisshu were," Lettuce paused,"Talking," she raised an eyebrow signalling that she should follow along, "Your powers went a little out of control and you managed to shoot us to the other side of the garden into that bush."
"Oh my! I'm so sorry are you okay?" Ichigo blurted out rushing to fuss over her friends to Kish's dismay though he didn't show it.
"I must remind everyone; do not bother you two while 'talking' painful things happened!" Ryou teased pulling another twig from his hair as Ichigo sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Anyway did you need anything?" Kisshu asked wanting to get back to their 'training session'.
"Oh yes! Lunch is ready, Kana sent us to find you." Mint explained as the group turned to walk into the hut.
The next few days were peaceful and Kisshu and Ichigo were getting so close that if you met them on the street you would think that they were a couple, Lettuce and Pai had grown very fond of each other aswell spending most of their time together and Akio had managed to woo Mint and they were virtually a couple now- to Kisshu's annoyance, as he was still working on Ichigo.
All was well that is until Katsu the little Monkey Pudding had befriend a couple weeks before came running into the garden howling after Pudding who soon came to comfort him, he had a gash on his arm which was soon treated and he was allowed to stay at the hut.
They soon found out from the Monkey what the problem had been as he told everything to Pudding, she came into the kitchen to see everyone's anxious faces awaiting the bad news. She explained that Katsu and his family had been driven out of his home by a Rogue Chimera, well it seemed Rogue to the Monkey at least.
The Mews and Alien knew better, knew that it would be controlled by most likely Myou, or Hotaru maybe even other rebels, they would have to do something and do it soon.
"Pudding can you remember were Katsu's home tree is, the area he came from?"Ichigo asked already starting to formulate a plan.
"Yes, of course!Na No Da!" she exclaimed proudly.
"Well then we shall go there and be rid of this Chimera, simple!" Ichigo smiled.
"I never is that simple though is it?" Kisshu pointed out, slightly sad as she frowned and nodded.
"Yes, but we can always hope for that can't we." she teased lightening the mood.
"PLEASE, be careful!" Aunt Kana asked everyone, they had all become very dear to her and could not bear any more events like the last with Kisshu and Ichigo.
And with that they all teleported to the edge of town ready to walk down the forest to the scene of the up coming battle, once out of the gates the Mews all transformed so they were ready.
"Mew Ichigo-"
"Mew Mint-"
"Mew Lettuce-"
"Mew Pudding-"
"Mew Zakuro-"
"Metamorphosis!"
All emerging from the bright lights in their Mew Forms, Lettuce, Mint and Pudding with their addition Jewels.
"Lets go get this Chimera!" Ichigo yelled brightly as they all began to run down the dirt track deeper into the greenery.
They arrived in a clearing with broken trees scattered across the ground, it seemed as if there was no life left there. There was an uneasy vibe coming from their surroundings, it felt unsafe as if they were being watched.
"Were do you think it is? I wish it would show up, I'm bored!" Ruri asked.
"If I were you, I would not wish it to come." Pai stated.
"Whatev-" Ruri started but the words died in her throat as she saw the large shadowed figure trudge loudly into closer view.
"I-is that a b-bull?" Mint stuttered.
"It looks more like a Minotaur actually." Akari pointed out.
"Great! Even better!" Kisshu exclaimed.
"Okay, you know what to do!" Ichigo yelled as they all charged at the gigantic creäture.
It stood on two legs and had a black coat with two large horns on its head and had golden ring hanging from its nose, there seemed to be three different coloured electrical charges running between the horns and the ring forming a triangle surrounding a round ball of orange light spinning just above the Minotaur's head.
"Wait, above its head, is that fire?" Zakuro noticed.
"I think it is and it seems to be aiming at us!" Naomi shrieked as a large ball of fire came flying towards her until Lettuce jumped in front of everyone and formed a colossal wall of water that the fire could not penetrate.
"That should hold him off, but not for long." Lettuce told everyone as they started to form a plan of some sort.
"It needs all three elements -the ring and two horns- to form its attack, correct?" Takumi asked as everyone nodded.
"So all we need to do is take the ring and it will be defenseless." he produced proudly his plan which everyone welcomed.
"But how do you suggest we retrieve it?" Zakuro questioned.
"Cut off it's tail, if it's anything like a Minotaur that will weaken it as well as distract it long enough to steal the ring." Akari stated.
"Great, Kisshu, Rina, Takumi, Naomi,Akari, try and get the tail." Ichigo instructed then turned to Pudding and Taruto, "You two are the smallest therefor the least noticeable so you guys can get the ring?" They both nodded excitedly at having such an important task.
"Um, it's brake through!" Lettuce informed everyone as they stood ready to attack and with one final run at the wall the Minotaur destroyed it and was immediately attacked making it stumble back slightly.
Pai and Lettuce joined their attacks causing tsunami like wave at the minotaur encasing it an a swirling bubble of water hovering it above the ground as it stopped furiously to break free, though somehow the fire stayed alight.
Zakuro whipped the bubble sending more electric charges through it making the Chimera shake in pain before it dropped back to the ground huffing furiously preparing to shoot another ball of fire at the group.
Ichigo was getting ready to use her strawberry bell when the fire came flying towards her, everyone screamed her name as she hadn't noticed while Kisshu flew to her as fast as he could but he would not make it in time.
By the time Ichigo looked up it was she did not have enough time to fly away so instinctively she put her hands out in front of her awaiting the pain to come, but it never did.
She opened her pink eyes which had been squeezed shut to see the fire in the shape of a sphere hovering just before her, and she herself was completely unharmed. Her mouth dropped in surprise as did everyone else's.
Before she did anything else she pushed her hands forward and shot the fire back and the unsuspecting Chimera which took the hit and passed out on the floor, though it did not purify.
Ichigo looked at her hands in shock and turned to face Kisshu who looked as shocked as she, "How did I do that?" she asked hoping someone knew.
Kisshu opened his mouth to speak but someone else cut him off, "Yes that is an excellent question how did you do that?"
Everyone turned to face whomever the voice had come from and looked on in horror, as they all came together to stand in a group instead of being scattered across the clearing.
Hovering in the air was Myou with a knife held against an unconscious Aunt Kana's neck.
"Myou! Let her go!" Kisshu roared furious with the alien.
"Now now that didn't work last time did it?" Myou glanced over to a hissing Ichigo and the turned back to Kisshu,"Why would it work this time?"
"I'm warning you Myou!" Kisshu snarled through gritted teeth as the alien rebel began to float higher in the air,"Put her down!"
"Down?" the rebel smiled maniacally, "Well if you insist." and with that he dropped the poor woman who began falling to her death but Kisshu flew up and caught her bringing her down to safety as Keiichiro and Ryou were left to watch over her.
"Are you mad?" Ichigo shrieked only just stopping herself from ripping his head off being that angry.
"Ahh so Kitty wants to play does she?" Myou teased as Ichigo went to fly at him Pai and Takumi held her down knowing that it would not be wise if she hurt herself but that wasn't going to stop her.
Kisshu was floating in the air close to her glaring at Myou with the same anger, Myou had hurt both off them greatly last battle and now they wanted revenge, they didn't want anyone else hurt.
As he was free Kisshu launched himself at Myou electricity charging through his blades as they began to duel with their blades, everyone become more anxious by the second, they could do nothing to help now but keep Ichigo safe which was not going to last long, she was desperately trying to break free to go and help Kisshu but Pai and Takumi were stronger.
After knocking Kisshu back a couple of meters from his hit Myou teleported to Ryou and Keiichiro knowing that they were defenseless cackling wickedly as he knocked them both out leaving them lying on the ground with Aunt Kana.
Everyone watched horrified as Kisshu came back to stand with Ichigo who was still being held back and Myou noticed this smirking wickedly.
"So kitty can't play can she?" he teased and that sent her over the edge, she ripped herself from Pai and Takumi grasp and flung her self at Myou knocking him back clawing at him furiously.
But the alien just smirked at this and grabbed her wrists holding her close to him as she growled even more still trying to hit him, Kisshu was stood with murder intent flowing from him and the others noticed trying to calm him down.
Myou tilted Ichigo's head up so that she was facing him, "Come on Kitty just one kiss?" and with that he brought his head down and planted his lips on hers as she struggled to pull away from him.
She felt power surge through her as from her hands she shot the lighting bolts at the alien shooting him backwards as she held him in the air unable to move anything besides his head.
Here eyes were bright pink and gold with a faint glow as she glared up at him- if looks could kill, next to her Kisshu was now standing in the same furious state, no one could touch his kitten.
Myou looked scared at this and was surprised when Ichigo let him drop to the ground and he stumbled trying to get his footing as he looked up in shock at the two before him.
"Don't ever touch me again!" Ichigo screamed at him knocking him back against a large rock as he slid to the ground in pain attempting to shuffle backwards as the two began to walk towards him slowly.
"You ever come near me or her again and you WILL regret it!" Kisshu roared lifting him up then dropping him back down harshly.
As Myou tried to talk again Ichigo and Kisshu joined hands and sent the biggest bolt of lighting yet that the Cyniclon only just escaped from as he teleported away, leaving a burnt patch on the ground where he just sat.
The glow subsided from their eyes as Kisshu and Ichigo relaxed breathing heavily, they turned to face the others who looked shocked.
"Where did Myou go?" Ichigo asked confused.
"You..you don't remember any of..that?" Takumi asked dumbfounded.
"Any of what?" Kisshu asked thinking they had all gone mad.
They all sighed, "We really need to fix this memory problem." Pai stated as they went topick up Kana, Ryou and Keiichiro before teleporting back to the hut.
Ichigo and Kisshu just shrugged their shoulders at each other as Kisshu teleported them back, but not before they took the Minotaur's ring which purified it.
Phew, that took so long to write! Anyway tell me what you think of this chapter, I'm still not sure about this one but either way I'mposting it for you guys. Please review/favourite/follow and read the note underneath this, it's really important!
A message from dracohalo117 and Leaf Ranger...SOPA is back, that is right people, the bill that is threatening to take away our freedoms on the internet and beyond is BACK, and not only is it back, but it is trying to be passed quietly so nobody notices, SOPA will guarantee that anybody who streams a video, whether it be on youtube, a walkthrough for a video game, or a kid singing a song that is 'copyrighted' they will be treated as a felon, that is right, a FELON, do you understand me? YOU will be treated like the highest form of criminal for uploading a video game walkthrough on YouTube, for singing a song on karaoke, heck, you could be arrested and treated as a felon for posting a screenshot...
Now, why am I telling you this? Because this is only just the beginning, how long until Fanfiction is being attacked, how long until a Fanfiction writer is being carted off to a maximum state prison for writing a character from Naruto into their Fanfic, or a character from Bleach, or a character fro Sekirei or Seikon no Qwaser, Highschool DxD, Trinity Blood, Witchblade, how long until THAT crap is happening? I assure you that if this passes, it will not be long, oh no, it will not be long at all, because once this passes, then ANYTHING goes, Fanfiction will be attacked for using canon characters in a fanon manner, authors will be arrested for writing a book whose main character has glasses, just like in another series, artists will be arrested and confined for using sapphire blue in the iris of one of their characters like another author. We CANNOT let this happen!
Don't believe us? Look at the links below, remove the spaces, see for yourself, and please, PLEASE spread the word and fight this assault on our freedoms, because this isn't just going to affect americans, oh no, it will affect EVERYBODY across the globe!
