Sorry for the long wait, faithful readers. Don't hate me too much . . .

I want to thank the following reviewers: Yuuri-Chan a.k.a pudito3, nyakoloheart and Reinier. Here are yummy virtual cookies for the three of you.

Enjoy!


BEFORE:

The green-haired alien left her room with a final farewell. Mia changed back to her normal self and got ready for bed: taking a shower, combing her hair, brushing her teeth and putting on her pajamas (Short, white pants, that's well above her knees, with blue polka-dots and a white strap-top with a small dark blue ribbon in the middle of her chest.)

Mia yawned and lifted her bed covers to climb in, but was interrupted when a knock sounded right behind her.

PRESENT:

The Mew looked over her shoulder in alarm. Her tensed body relaxed when she saw the one-and-only panther boy standing outside on her balcony. A frown covered her face while she unlocked the glass door and carefully opened it. She poked her head outside, still grasping the door handle.

"Hey, Kevin. I was just about to go to bed . . .is something wrong?"

Kevin was wearing long, black pants that hugged his legs, and a black shirt (the collar is in an upright position.) to match it.(PS: Just a quick reminder that his hair is black and he has dark eyes.) It was no surprise that he also wore black sneakers.

"Wow! Are you turning emo?" Mia asked before Kevin could answer her previous question.

The panther boy appeared surprised for a second, looked down at his clothing and sweat-dropped.

"Noooo, I decided to wear black clothes as camouflage . . . since it is night and everything . . . and to match my new panther genes."

"Is that also why your cat features are showing?" She pointed to his black, panther ears and tail. Kevin chuckled and touched his right ear sheepishly.

"Well . . . I had to use my cat abilities to get onto your balcony, and every time I use those abilities, my ears and tail reveal themselves . . . weird, right?"

Kevin's panther ears drooped and he looked down at the ground. (PS: Kawaii!)

Mia looked at him with a glint of amusement in her eyes. She felt a bit bad for questioning him like a suspect. The blue Mew opened the door another tail-length and stood aside, inviting Kevin inside.

"Let's talk in my room."

Kevin gave her a weird look.

"For privacy, you pervert!" Mia snapped, balling her hands into fists. The look on Kevin's face vanished immediately.

"Haha! There's the Mia I know."

He entered swiftly and plopped down onto her bed, crossing his legs. His tail, which was still out of hiding, waved to and fro and his ears twitched every now and then. Mia carefully slid the door closed again, and locked it. An evil chuckle sounded behind her.

"Locking the door, huh? What are your intentions, Mew Crystal?" Kevin purred. Mia was so shocked to hear those words come from Kevin that she almost fell over a chair. She narrowed her brown eyes.

"What happened to the innocent panther boy that was standing on my balcony a few seconds ago?" She irritably fixed her hair and joined the panther boy on the bed, making sure to keep her distance. Mia propped her pillow upright, positioning it against her headboard. With a tired sigh, she gently laid back.

"So, what's wrong?"

Mia lifted an eyebrow when Kevin put his hand into his shirt's pocket and fished inside it. He carefully lifted his closed fist, took Mia's right hand with his free one and placed the mystery item onto her open palm.

Her eyes widened when she recognized the object.

"What . . . how . . . when . . ." her mouth couldn't form the right words and she just kept on staring at the blue, glowing crystal in her hand.

"Isn't that what the two of you are looking for?" Kevin asked, leaning closer to examine the crystal.

"Yes . . . but, how did you find it? Kisshu and I have been looking for the past week now, and had failed miserably in finding anything but traces of this precious jewel."

"I just found it laying there on the ground, somewhere near a sewer opening, and brought it to you," Kevin shrugged.

"How did you know we need it?" Mia asked, frowning.

Kevin giggled nervously and placed his hand behind his head, not meeting her penetrating gaze.

"I followed you guys . . ."

" . . . but only for the past two nights," he added hastily, when Mia looked as if she was going to strangle him to death.

"I didn't mean to spy, I was just curious . . ."

Mia sighed and looked at the Mew Aqua again, hope clearly visible in her eyes.

"Why is it so important?" Kevin asked, shuffling closer to sit right beside her.

"Kisshu wants to bring Ichigo back from the dead, and to do that he needs a lot of Mew Aqua . . ." She paused.

"Please don't tell Taruto . . ." she added, turning her head away.

"Why are you guys keeping this hunting expedition a secret from Taruto and I? I . . . I thought you liked that alien . . ."

Mia's eyes widened when she heard the second statement, but she only answered Kevin's first question.

"Kisshu's the one that wanted to keep this a secret, especially from Taruto, because he knows that Taruto would say it's a hopeless case, and persuade Kisshu not to go through with it . . . so please, don't say a word to Tart about this."

"I won't, I promise," Kevin said, using his finger to draw a cross on his chest. Mia smiled up at him.

"And, thanks . . . for the Mew Aqua, I mean. It's not that much, but it gives me hope." The Mew looked down at the crystal, lovingly. She leaned sideways and gently placed it on her bedside table.

Kevin suddenly cleared his throat.

"And . . .uh . . . I . . . saw what happened between you and Kisshu tonight . . ."

Mia froze. Her whole body started to heat up, and her hands started to sweat.

"Y-You did!"

The Mew was now on her knees, still on the bed, rubbing her hands together nervously. Her eyes remained downwards, refusing to make contact with Kevin's, and when she took a quick peak, she saw that he was enjoying himself, a huge grin on his face.

"W-Well, you know Kisshu . . . always in a kissing-mood." She giggled nervously.

"Oh? So you two DID kiss."

Mia whimpered.

"And . . . I also thought . . . well, it could just be my imagination, but I also thought I saw you kissing him back."

"Don't tell Taruto, please!" she blurted out, and quickly covered her mouth after the words have left it.

Kevin chuckled evilly.

"I won't tell, IF you do something for me."

Mia gaped at him.

"What!? You're actually threatening me!?"

"Well . . . I also gave you a fragment of the Mew Aqua . . . so, I think it's only fair."

Mia clenched her teeth and gripped the bed sheets tightly.

"I first want to know what you want me to do . . ."

Kevin gave an evil grin.

"Well, I'll show you now."

Before Mia could reply, Kevin jumped on her and pinned her down on the bed. He held down her arms with his hands and his legs were on either side of her. The Mew gasped and started to struggle.

"Kevin! This better be a joke."

The panther boy didn't reply, and instead he placed her arms next to her sides, pinning them in place with his legs. Mia started to struggle again, but paused when Kevin leaned forward a bit, reached out his hand, and grabbed one of her cat ears.

Wait! My cat ear!? Ugh, they must have revealed themselves, because of my nervousness.

She noticed her cat tail as well.

Yup . . .

Mia flinched when he grabbed her ear, causing them to droop. The cat girl realized her mistake when Kevin's eyes started to sparkle, and his tail started to swing from side to side, as if he was getting excited.

It's as if he's being hypnotized . . .

"Kevin, I don't know what you're playing at, but it's really starting to freak me out!"

Kevin didn't even seem to hear her; his purrs filling the room. He lowered his head till it was under her chin, sniffing and rubbing.

He's acting just like a cat . . . wait a minute!

"Kevin, listen to me! You're being controlled by your panther genes."

Mia knew that the real Kevin would never do or dare to do something like this. He's probably been in his cat form for far too long; it must have started to control him now. The Mew knew she would have to get him out of this trance quickly . . . or else . . .

She shivered.

Kevin sat upright again, his eyes looking at her hungrily. The Mew gasped when he intertwined his tail with hers.

This feels so wrong!

"Kevin, please! Listen!"

The panther boy lowered his head, and Mia instinctively turned her head away. Kevin licked her cheek and nibbled on her white cat ear.

"Stop, Kevin! Please! You can overcome this! This isn't who you are!" There was a hint of hysteria in her voice. Her breathing started to quicken.

But Kevin's ears didn't even twitch, and instead he gripped her head in both of his hands, allowing the gap between them to shrink more and more. Mia struggled like she had never struggled before. She didn't want this. Of course not! Especially not if he was under a spell.

"Stop!" she screamed, but was quickly silenced when his mouth met hers. Mia screamed into the kiss, and wiggled her body from side to side to break free. The panther boy only tightened his grip, and pressed his mouth more firmly onto hers.

What is up with the boys today?! Must stuff like this always happen in their presence!?

The Mew started to panic even more when he slid his right hand under her shirt while still kissing her.

No, no, no! This has gone far enough!

Mia screamed even louder, and started to go ballistic under Kevin. She somehow managed to break one of her arms free.

The Mew grabbed his arm quite violently, trying to pull it away from her stomach.

"Get off of me!" she screamed, her eyes and hair turning shocking blue. Blue flames erupted from her hair, causing them to float in the air.

"I've had ENOUGH!"

Her hand which was gripping Kevin's arm, became ice cold, freezing the panther boy's skin. Kevin shook his head, his eyes widening when he came back to reality.

Mia lifted her hands, pointing them straight at Kevin.

"I said: Get away from me!"

Multiple ice shards came out of her hands, each of them making contact with Kevin's clothing. He shouted in alarm when the force of the shards carried him backwards, causing him to collide into the headboard.

The panther boy's head drooped and his eyes closed for a few seconds. Collision with the headboard had caused his vision to go a bit blurry. Gaining full consciousness, he realized that Mia wasn't on the bed anymore . . .but in the sky.

She had somehow transformed, and was floating with a weird blue light surrounding her entire body. Her eyes were closed and blue flames were coming out of her hair. He tried to move forward, but gasped when he realized that the shards have dug deep into the headboard's wood, trapping him. Kevin gulped.

He had never ever seen Mia like this: So dangerous. The panther boy lowered his head.

But . . . what I have done is unforgiveable . . . I won't be surprised if Mia killed me right now . . .

The blue Mew's eyes suddenly opened, revealing ice blue ones. She lifted her arms slowly and stretched them outward on either side.

"This is the true power of snow and ice," she said in an ominous voice. "I, Mew Crystal, have been violated." She pointed an accusing finger at Kevin. "You will pay for that."

She formed a C-shape in the air with her hand and a gigantic ice bow formed in its place. Mia grabbed the bow with her left hand. She stretched her free one upward, and a long arrow with blue flames coming from its tip, appeared in her right hand.

Wow, Kevin thought, looking on with admiration in his eyes.

The Mew positioned the arrow into place, and pointed its tip straight at Kevin's heart. The bow creaked as she pulled the arrow backwards.

Oh no! Is she really going to kill me?

"Mia . . . please . . . forgive me . . ." he whispered, tears starting to form in his eyes.

I don't blame you, but . . . he thought.

Mia's eyes suddenly widened, returning to their original blue colour, and the flames in her hair started to die down. The blue aura that had covered her body disappeared. She yelped when she fell down onto the bed with the bow and arrow still in her hands. Her transformation had dissolved.

The Mew looked around frantically, gasping when she noticed Kevin's state and the weapon in her grasp.

"What- what happened?" she gave Kevin a daunting look.

"You seriously don't remember?" he asked.

Mia frowned, concentrating hard to call back her memories.

"All I think I remember is . . ."

She suddenly growled, threw the bow aside and pointed the arrow's tip at Kevin's throat.

"You-You nearly raped me!"

Kevin gulped when he saw the dangerous weapon.

"I know, I know," he said hysterically. "And I'm really, really sorry. Please forgive me! I'll try to control my panther genes better in the future, I promise." He shut his eyes tightly, waiting for the arrow to rip his flesh.

Mia sighed and dropped the weapon. The arrow and bow immediately evaporated, and the shards that had pinned Kevin against the headboard melted away. He fell forward onto all fours, his heart beating so rapidly that Kevin was afraid it'll burst out of his chest.

"The same has happened to me," Mia said softly, looking down. "I was in such a panicked and scared state that I had transformed, and my own cat genes had taken over my body . . . or . . . the Mew Aqua that's inside of me."

Mia looked down at her shivering hands and buried her head into them. She bent forward and started to cry loudly, her body shaking violently.

"I . . . I nearly . . . killed you!" she screamed between her tears. "I . . . I'm a . . . monster!"

Kevin looked at the crying girl before him with a shocked expression on his face. He had never seen Mia this upset before. The panther boy slowly crawled closer to her.

"Mia . . ." he said softly. "Please . . . don't cry . . ."

A sharp pain pierced his heart when he saw Mia like this.

I can't believe I wanted to hurt Mia like that.

"Mia, this is all my fault, not yours. I am the real monster here. Please, stop crying."

For some reason, Mia's crying got even louder. Kevin growled and pushed her over. He climbed on top of her and forced her to look at him.

"Stop it! None of this is your fault. Please! I hate seeing you cry like that. It rips my heart apart."

Mia's crying gradually died down, and she started wiping her tears away with her hands.

Kevin smiled.

"That's more li . . ." he was interrupted when Mia slapped him across the cheek.

"Get off me, you pervert!" she screamed, pushing him away.

"Pervert!?" he said, rubbing his burning skin. "My ears and tail aren't even showing."

The blue Mew gave a "gmph!" and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"How do I know you won't try anything?" she asked, but with a playful gleam in her eyes. Without warning, Mia jumped on Kevin, causing both of them to topple over the bed's edge. The two Mews laughed as they started to play-fight.

At first, Kevin managed to get hold of her again, pinning her arms and legs down. Mia giggled and spit in his eyes.

"Eeewww, gross, Mia!" the panther boy said, rubbing his eyes.

"Haha! Your ears and tail are back again," she said, pointing at them.

"Yours too, smarty-pants," Kevin said, when he got his vision back. The cat girl ignored him, and tackled Kevin to the ground. She got a hold on his panther ears and started yanking them. Kevin squirmed under her.

"Owww! That hurts!" With a swift movement, Kevin grabbed her arms and pulled Mia off of him.

"Let's see how you like it."

"Noooo!" she said, looking scared, trying to get away. The cat girl jumped onto the bed with her knees, and tried to crawl over to the other side. But Kevin wasn't going to allow her to escape. He grabbed her tail and pulled her a bit closer. She meowed in surprise, digging her nails into the bed.

"Not so fast, Kitty," he said with a chuckle. Kevin climbed onto the bed and immediately sat on her back, making it impossible for her to escape. Mia squeaked in alarm and kicked her legs, trying to wriggle her body out from under Kevin. But he was much bigger and didn't find it difficult to secure his hold on her.

"No! Please, Kevin! My ears are super-sensitive!"

The panther boy only giggled and used his finger to trace imaginary lines up along the length of her back till he reached her head. With a malicious grin, Kevin grabbed her cat ears and started to play with them.

She squealed and squirmed, trying hard not to laugh. Tears started forming in the corners of her eyes.

"Kevin, you devil!"

When those words left Mia's mouth, Kevin decided to take it further. He shot forward, opened his mouth and clamped it shut on Mia's snowy white ear. The cat girl's eyes widened in shock and she let out an earsplitting screech.

Not expecting that outburst, Kevin immediately released and climbed off her. He looked at her with worried eyes, as she slowly used her hands to push herself upward. Mia lifted one of them and gently stroked her injured ear. She turned her head to Kevin's direction, her dark gaze lowered, her bangs covering her eyes.

"M-Mia? Are you . . . ok?"

She growled and showed her fangs.

"Un-for-giveable!" she hissed, advancing on Kevin. Still on the bed, Mia pushed Kevin against the headboard. Getting a grip on his shoulders, she forced him downwards, so that she had full access to his exposed panther ears.

"Gotcha, Nya!" she said before biting and pulling them altogether. Kevin screamed and reached upward with his hand, grabbing Mia's shirt and ripping it right off, leaving her in her bra. (PS: blue with a tiny white ribbon in the middle ) She hardly seemed to notice; too intent on attacking his black ears. (A/N: Remember, both of them are in a trance.) Only did she realize it, when he grabbed her middle with both of his hands. Mia gasped when she felt his hands on her bare skin.

"You, Perv!" she said, grabbing his cheeks and pulling them. Kevin growled and bowled her over. The two konekos started tussling on the bed, each trying to dominate the other. At one point, Mia got a good grip on Kevin's shirt and yanked it, causing the shirt's buttons to fly in all directions. Both of them went for each other's hair at the same time; pulling, screaming, hissing and scratching.

"I'm gonna show you how a true Mew fights," Mia hissed in his ear.

"Bring it!" Kevin hissed back.

THE NEXT MORNING:

Kisshu's eyes widened in surprise when he was greeted with a very funny and disturbing sight, after he teleported into Mia's room: Mia and Kevin were both semi-naked; they were laying sprawled out over each other, with one of Mia's fingers in Kevin's mouth; the bed was a downright mess; both of them had multiple scratch-marks on their bodies and the few scraps of clothing that were still covering their most private parts, were severely torn.

I don't have a clue what happened here last night, and I think it's better if it stays that way.

The alien floated to Kevin's side of the bed; a wicked idea in his head. He gently and carefully pushed Kevin's head closer to Mia's, till both heads were only a few millimeters apart. He then slowly took one of Kevin's hands and placed it carefully on Mia's nearest breast. (PS: She's still wearing her bra.) Going over to Mia's side next, Kisshu slowly lifted one of her arms and placed it over Kevin's body. Carefully and skillfully, the green-head pushed each of their bodies much closer together, hardly leaving any space for an ant. An evil smile appeared on his face.

Well, I guess it's time for these two "lovebirds" to wake up . . .

The alien used his finger to rub both of their noses softly. When Mia started grunting, Kisshu quickly teleported away.

The Mew groaned and slowly started opening her eyes. She closed and opened her eyes a few times, blinking the sleep away. When her vision was clear, she realized that she was staring straight at Kevin's wide open eyes. Their noses were touching and she shivered mentally when she saw that one of her fingers were in Kevin's mouth.

What the . . .gross!

The cat girl yanked her finger away. She struggled to find the right words. But Kevin didn't even respond to her finger that was rudely thrust into his mouth, but instead Mia saw that he was as red as a tomato, staring with shocked eyes at her chest. She frowned and looked down, gasping when she noticed that one of his hands was clasping her right breast. With a tiny scream, she slapped his hand and quickly sat upright. Kevin did the same, looking even more flustered. He started to stutter, wanting to apologize, but he couldn't seem to find the right words.

The panther boy kept throwing small glances in her direction, and when Mia looked down again, she knew why.

Why am I half-naked!?

She hastily tried covering her body with her arms. Mia noticed that Kevin wasn't even trying to look away anymore. The Mew girl finally managed to find her voice.

"Stop staring at me, you idiot!"

She quickly looked around for something to cover herself with. Seizing the blanket on the bed, Mia wrapped it tightly around her body. She felt too exposed to stand up and decided that the blanket would have to do for now. The Mew girl was blushing like crazy. Kevin suddenly whistled when he saw his shredded pants.

"What . . . the . . . hell . . . did we do last night?" He asked, looking at her with a flustered smile.

"I don't understand why we're so forgetful all of a sudden," Mia said, shaking her head. "I do recall you almost raping me . . ." Kevin looked at her apologetically. "And me, almost killing you . . ." she continued, shooting him the same look. "And then . . ."

She paused.

"Oh fudge! Did we . . .?"

The panther boy didn't seem to understand her question at first, and when it hit him, he could feel heat rising to his cheeks.

"No! No! Or . . . I think I would remember something like that."

When Mia didn't say anything, he continued.

"All I remember is that we were in some sort of play-fight with each other. Clothes did come off, but that was it."

"So . . . it was ANOTHER trance?!" she said outraged. "What's the meaning of this! Don't we have ANY control over our own bodies anymore?! This makes ZERO sense."

Mia suddenly noticed something out of the corner of her eye. Turning her head she saw that the Mew Aqua that was laying on her bedside table was now nothing more than a piece of hard, black stone. She frantically grabbed it and turned the rock over and over in her hand, looking at it with shocked eyes.

"What happened to the Mew Aqua?" Kevin asked, leaning closer. "It looks like a piece of charcoal now."

"It's beautiful blue glow is gone," Mia agreed sadly. She pressed the now worthless gem against her chest.

"I . . . I don't understand . . ." It felt as though she was going to cry.

When she realized what the obvious explanation was, her eyes started to water.

"It's my fault," she admitted, looking down. "When I transformed, my body sucked up all the Mew Aqua that was in its range. It . . . it made me stronger . . .but . . ."

Tears started rolling down her cheeks. She looked down at the object.

"I didn't want this . . .This is for Ichigo, not me."

It seems as though I can't even control my own body anymore.

Kevin looked at her sympathetically.

"This is not your fault you know."

Mia increased her grip on the stone; her expression unreadable. Without another word, she flung the blanket aside and climbed off the bed. Kevin only stared at her with wide eyes. The Mew violently thrust the balcony door open and with a swift leap, she jumped onto the balcony's ledge.

I CAN control my new genes, and I will!

She closed her eyes.

Reveal yourselves! she mentally ordered her cat features. Mia smiled with satisfaction when they appeared.

"Mia . . .?" Kevin asked, planting his feet on the ground.

"I'm going out for a bit," she said, turning around on the ledge. "I just need some fresh air."

I CAN control you!

Without another word, Mia jumped off the ledge. Her feet hardly touched the ground, when she bunched her muscles and jumped again onto a nearby fence. Kevin bounded towards the ledge.

"Mia, wait!"

But Mia didn't even look back, and instead ran along the top of the fence at full speed.

Kevin sighed, closed his eyes and shook his head.

I wonder how long it will take that foolish girl to realize that she's still in her undergarments.

He turned around, staring back into Mia's room, at her shredded shorts that lay on the bedroom floor . . .


I know, I know.
