The truth about elves. Beautiful love story
When Ichigo opened her eyes she was still holding Kisshu's hand and floating in the air. The other mews and aliens were there too, but there was no sign of Great Green or the blessed ones. In front of them was a whole cosmos and planet Earth in her old beauty.
"You see this is our oldest history." They heard the echo of Great Green's voice. "The time when we created mew aqua and lived in harmony. But then…the catastrophe happened and only a few numbers of us managed to escape. I believe you all already know this story."
"Yes we heard about this a long time ago." Ichigo said.
"But what you don't know is that one of our scientists who created mew aqua made an experiment, he tried to fused our DNA with mew aqua. From that experiment evolution happened and when the life on earth was destroyed and new races were created. The new humanoid creatures appeared and after so long they evolved into what you today call perfect humans. But you see the goal of the experiment was to save all knowledge and power of our race. But the experiment had a little miscalculation. And the human race never managed to retrieve those memories of the perfect technology. There were those who did possess the knowledge but humans did not respect that power and many of them died not sharing their knowledge to the end."
"Why are you telling us this story?" Kisshu asked confused.
"Because it's an introduction for what you are about to see. And it's a reason why elves can exist. Because our races have almost the same DNA. That boy" He pointed on Ryou." is the one of those who granted our knowledge that is how he managed to create the mew project. And you girls also have it so that is the reason you can be mew mews."
"So we have the piece of that blood of the ancients in ourselves." Mint asked.
"That's right and that is why you become mew mews and why you are the best candidates for creating the perfect race."
"But why do you want it?" Hugame asked.
"You'll see through the story."
Once again there was the dark and soon the mews and aliens found themselves on the alien's planet. But it wasn't as beautiful as the mews remembered it, but it was cold and ugly. They were soon in the underground town where they saw a group of people standing in front of one of their space ships and four men that were standing closer to the ship.
The Mews came closer and saw four young men two of them were Deep Blue and Great Green. They looked younger and not so evil. They actually looked kind. Those were not two aliens who tried to kill all of the Earth and aliens. They were two nice young men. So then what happened to them? What changed them?
"Young fool I was then I believed that our people deserve salvation so I went with my brother and friends to check on Earth. To see in what shape it was so we could return."
"But why did you change your mind?" Zakuro asked.
"Ha, stupid child. There is no reason for me to explain it to you just watch and enjoy."
The space ship was flying through the galaxy, it was surrounded by thousands of stars and it was moving really fast. Inside four young men were sitting and taking control over the ship. Two of them were already known as Deep Blue and Great Green, the other two were a brown haired boy with the same haircut as Pai. He was high could you determine his features better thanks? and had dark blue eyes that were somehow impossible to not be seen. The second man was a few inches shorter than his friend he had face really similar to Kisshu's but his eyes and hair color were different. He had purple eyes and light green hair with a pig tail on the end.
"Well the engine is good." A boy with brown hair said.
"Good Gatoo. Now let's check our position. Blue how long to the Earth?"
"About 80 hours Kukkii. You need to be patient." A man that will be known as Deep Blue said. "Brother do you sense any danger on our way?"
"Not anything. Looks like our trip will be safe." Great Green said.
"Well then we should relax and hope that Earth will be livable." Gatoo said.
The ship was flying through the space for some time and soon on the screen in the control room something appeared.
"I got it. I got a signal of the Earth." Green said.
"Great thing Green. My sensors sense that there are living things. And a lot of them." Kukkii added amazed.
"Then you should see this." Blue said watching through the window. "It's so beautiful…" He whispered.
"Yea it is. So this means that we can finally return home?" Kukkii asked.
"Yes but first let's see in what shape the Earth is. We need to learn a few things about it, we can't return to the Earth if we don't know how dangerous it is." Gatoo said crossing his arms.
"I guess you're right. "Green said.
After some time the ship landed on Earth and the four young men went out. They touched the light green grass and for the first time and took a deep breath filling their lungs with fresh oxygen. The sky was so blue; the sun was so warm, the breeze felt so beautiful. They were listening for the sounds of their old home, a home that their people left so many years ago.
"Well no wonder that nobody returned before, this Earth is so beautiful." Blue said.
"Yeah but still maybe there were more reasons to not return. Let's all research this Earth, and see what we can use at least to survive so we won't die when we all come to live here."
"I agree Gatoo. Let's do it."
For day's the aliens were living on Earth researching the plants and animals.
"I can't believe that we are here for seven days." Green said entering the lab room where Gatoo was.
"Yes hard to believe that there is another race similar to us. They call themselves "humans" and they are interesting. I was researching on them and it seems that they are calling us yokai, some kind of demons." Gatoo was looking at the plant inside the orb that was spinning slowly scanning every part of it.
"Humans are stupid they don't have any technology only some stupid legends. Listen Gatoo just take the research of these plants and animals so we can return home and bring back others here too. Maybe we can use humans as slaves like they use each other." Green said.
"That is fine but I don't like the other part of the plan. We did not come here to destroy lives. We already know what it is like to be prisoner, so we won't do the same thing to anyone. Maybe we can teach them to be more like us." Gatoo was still scanning the plants while he was talking to his friend. "By the way did you saw my younger brother? He was sleeping when I got up."
"Oh he is outside playing with the humans. He is watching some girls while they are taking their bath in the lake. My older brother is keeping an eye on him."
"I don't think Blue can save Kukkii."
"He is like a little child. Since we came here he was only fooling around."
"I guess he wants to have all the fun that we lost like kids." Gatoo said creating a light smile.
"That's stupid."
On the lake where the young girls were taking a bath a green haired alien was watching with the eyes of a predator the perfect chance to strike. The group of beautiful young girls dressed in usual kimonos for common girls were sitting next to the water laughing and talking.
"Yes, yes just a bit closer and like every day will use your beauty…"
*FLASHBACKS*
He was hiding in the bushes and just like now there were a group of girls on the river taking a bath. He got out from his hiding spot and blowing his energy orb made the water splash around leaving the naked girls in panic, screaming ."
He was in the lake waiting for the girls to come there. When he heard the voices of the girls laughing on the shore he flew up creating a powerful wind that revealed their legs.
He was waiting for the girls but this time a couple of men came with them, he just used his powers to scare them and fly around the girls kissing their cheeks.
*END OF FLASHBACKS*
"Ahhh good times. This time I'll steal their clothes and maybe I could…Huh?" He saw a new girl approaching the others, but she was not like them. She was dressed up in beautiful clothes and her appearance was much too beautiful to be described by words. Her blue eyes like sky and black hair was perfect. "Who-who is she? A goddess?"
"Anzu -sama, don't come near here. An evil demon is living in this lake and he is a real pervert." One of the girls said blushing.
"That is right we wouldn't come here if we didn't have to. He is spying on us, watching us when we bath, and he will strike any moment now. Please don't let him see your beautiful body. He doesn't deserve that!" Another one said.
"I understand, but you forgot that I'm a daughter of a lord. I' not scared of the demons." She said with a cute voice.
"She is so beautiful and brave…" the Girls said in unison.
"You are a pathetic fool Kukkii."
"Blue! What are you doing here?'
"Hoping that you won't get into trouble. You need to stop acting so childishly."
"But look at them; they are so beautiful and so cute. Their cheeks are so red, their bodies are thicker and they smell so beautiful. They are not like those in our planets, these girls have enough food and more places to touch them. Even earth men are better looking than us."
"You are such a pervert; just don't start chasing human' boys too."
"I didn't even think of it. But look at her." He pointed at the new girl. "She is a goddess."
"What a fool…" Blue just took a deep breath. "Let's go we need to help your brother in his research. You know the whole planet has a different climate, so we need to research different places. Did you forget our mission?"
"No, to be honest I was thinking of it more than you guys."
"Huh?"
"Humans… What are they? They look like us, they eat they live but they don't have technology like us. So what are they?"
"Huh that is actually a good question. They might be dangerous for us. But they do look weak."
"I think that they are amazing. They created a whole world, culture and life without help… I admire them. And I admire their girls, see ya!" He flew away.
"Wait Kukkii! Idiot." He mumbled the last word.
"Hey ladies." He cried flying toward the girls that were already holding their dresses so he wouldn't blow it.
"A demon. Run!" the Girls began to scream and run. Only the new girl was standing in the spot following him with her eyes. When he was close to her he pulled off her kimono but under that red kimono was a man clothes. His eyes widened in surprise but he went flying toward her again, but then on his surprise she caught his hand fast and threw him into the lake.
"That girl…" Blue said confused in the bushes.
Wha-what happened? Kukkii asked himself slowly floating into the depth of the lake. His cheeks blushed. She is …
"My lady that was amazing. You are a true goddess." One of the girls said again while Anzu was dressing on.
"I know." That's weird his arms they were so thin… Like he wasn't eating properly his whole life. I don't believe that demons can be like that. If he is so powerful why would he be so thin?
"My lady something wrong?"
"No I'm fine let's take our water and go home." The girls did as she told them. She just turned once more to see the lake where she threw this so called demon.
When everybody was gone Blue flew over the lake, his feet barely touching the crystal water. "Are you ok?" He asked not amused with his friend.
Kukkii was lying in the water lost in his thoughts, not hearing his friend. The only thing he was seeing and hearing were the face and voice of the girl who threw him into the water. "Anzu..." he smiled still in water. "I tried that fruit so sweet…"
Blue took a deep breath and took his friend over the shoulder. "I guess you are in shock. I'll take you home."
"Anzu…" Kukkii whispered to himself once more.
On the ship Gatoo and Green were watching the hologram of the Earth to see what kinds of places exist there. "This will be harder than we thought. There are just too many areas with different climates and different life forms." Green said.
"I know living here won't be as easy as we thought. And because of the lack of technology we can't ask the humans to give us some energy supplies. We don't have enough energy to bring others here."
"You're right Green. We didn't think of that before. But maybe here on Earth there is civilization with technology, which is why we are going to explore the whole Earth. " Gatoo said.
"Fine."
"Hey guys I brought our runner back." Blue said with Kukkii on his shoulder.
"What happened to him?"
"He was defeated by one girl and now he is in shock."
"A girl, what a loser." Green said.
"Give him here I'll wake him up." Gatoo brought a chair for his brother. When Blue put Kukkii on the chair Gatoo put his hands on Kukkii's shoulders and looked at him with a serious expression on his face. "Kukkii… WAKE UP YOU LITTLE FOOL!" He shook him like a cocktail, Green and Blue were watching that scene surprised with a sweat drop.
"Huh what?"
'I can't believe you, you are so weak, and you were defeated by one single girl."
"Anzu, huh nice name." Kukkii mumbled to himself.
"What?"
"Anzu that is her name."
"Oh her." Green said. "I know her she is a daughter of a lord and extremely beautiful and strong."
"Since when do you care about humans Green?"
"Kukkii, I don't care for her. I just saw her once when I was researching some plants. What an idiot."
"Ok enough you two. From this day we will split into four researchers all around the Earth. We will look for technology and different life conditions. We don't have unlimited time; our families are still trapped on that hellish planet waiting for us. I told them that earth is livable but we don't have a way to bring them all here. We used all energy resources to come here. We need a hundred times more energy to bring our people here!" Gatoo yelled, but in his voice it was clear that he would rather cry then yell. He calmed down by taking a deep breath and whispered. "We need to save them."
"Yes, we understand." the Others answered sad and ashamed for their actions.
Days were passing the aliens were all around the world researching about the new life on earth. Kukkii he was the youngest he was left "home" to take care of the ship. Many times he went back to the village where he was spying on the girls but the mysterious Anzu wasn't around.
Then one night he heard from the girls that Anzu would return soon, and that she was on a journey to meet her future husband. Meet her future husband? Is that even possible? Shouldn't they know each other from long time ago?
Not thinking too much about his previous thoughts he returned to the lake. "How weak these girls are, but I noticed that they don't do much work. They only take care of their children and husbands. Like their status is much lower than the men's. And from all these girls Anzu was the only one that actually fought me… Humans are so weird. Maybe I should do research on them."
"Are you always talking to yourself?" He heard a female voice behind him. There she was Anzu standing not so far from him.
"A-Anzu. Wow you look nice in those clothes, but I prefer your fighting clothes, they show more of your body."
"What kind of demon are you? You stalk me; you tease these girls knowing that they can't fight you, you…"
"Why can't they fight me? You did."
"Well maybe because I'm the only warrior."
"What?"
"I'm the only female warrior and soon the last one."
"Why. Girls can fight too. Not to mention that they are even more dangerous, especially in "those times"."
"What kind of demon are you?"
"I'm not a demon!" He screamed.
"Then what are you. You are not human. And you have powers that only demons from the legends have. Also your appearance matches the appearance of the demons."
"I'm pre-human. A humanoid form that existed on Earth before you humans came here. And now my people live on another planet, but our life there is so hard and full of sorrow so we are trying to return home. But since we don't know anything about new life forms on Earth me and my friends came here first to explore it."
Anzu was just staring at him blinking a few times, like he was a crazy person." Pre-human, other planet, explore Earth?"
"You don't believe me do you?"
"Well… Sounds like something from the legends, but a real life in space. What even is that? I thought that the sky was around the earth and that the stars, sun and moon are just walking on it."
"Yea that sounds more realistic than having a cosmos with thousands of stars around it." He said sarcastically, noticing that her cheeks were blushing from embarrassment. "If you would like to know more I can tell you all about it."
"I would like to know more." She smiled. " How about you tell me about your world and I tell you about mine?"
"OK." It was a deal. A deal between a human girl and alien boy. A first contact that they had without a fight.
Days were passing they would meet in front of the lake and she would tell him everything about Earth. She told him about the season's changes, about different people, different cultures, and the mysteries of this world. And he was telling her all about the universe, about technology, surviving, but he never spoke much of his home, he didn't want to.
Soon a whole year passed and they became really close. Anzy and Kukkii survived summer, autumn, winter and soon the spring was coming again. The winter was a favorite to Kukkii. He was amazed how snow here on Earth could be gentle and full of life, but still strong and deadly. But watching it melt and creating a new life from it was even more amusing. Like a dream.
Kukki woke up one day hearing voices of his comrades upon their entrance, he was so happy to see them after so long. After many hellos they shared knowledge that they had collected during their travels.
"So it looks like our ancestors are forgotten." Kukkii said.
"Yes and all those people who came here before us were treated like Gods in many cultures. They taught humans of some skills and because of the lack of technology they weren't able to return." Green said. "But I found some old ships and took remaining energy from there it should have enough for us to return."
"That is good, but we still don't know how to save our people." Gatoo said.
"You have a point. Hey Blue are you ok, you are really quiet since you returned." Kukki asked his friend that looked so different and distanced. If he could say even his face changed a little, his eyes were somehow dark and lost in time.
"I'm fine." He answered but not with the kind tone that he use to have. "I need to take some time to think, please excuse me. I'll be in my room."
"What's with him?" Gatoo asked concerned.
"He probably had a bad meeting with humans, he just needs some time and probably this whole thing is killing him too." Kukkii said not so much interested in his comrade. "I'm going out too."
Kukkii was flying over the village seeking for one special place where Anzu use to come every day. It was a small meadow with one huge Sakura tree in the middle. She was there this time too. Sitting under the tree listening to the song of the birds and enjoying the day. "Anzu!"
"Kukkii!" She stood up happy to see her flying friend. At the moment he landed she ran into his hug. She loved his warm body and his hands that were holding her so lovely and gently yet so strongly. "I missed you so much."
"Aww come on it was only a few days, and you know my comrades returned. That's the reason why I'm so late."
"I see. Well I'm just glad you came." Her hands were shaking.
"Anzu are you ok?" Kukki asked holding her hands in his, Anzu just shook her head slowly. "What's wrong? Are you sick?"
"No, please Kukkii, please just hold me in your arms." Tears were leaving her eyes making her cheeks red. She leant her head on his chest crying silently, but Kukkii could sense her pain.
"It's ok. I'll be here for you as long you need me."
"Does that mean you will stay with me forever?"
"Yes, but only if you ask me."
"Thank you." She whispered and kept her position like this for a while. "It's so nice in here." She whispered now when they were sitting next to each other, her head on his shoulder looking at the lake. "You know when I met you I thought you were a demon. Looks like the stories of demons being good looking was true."
'Does that mean you like me?"
"Yes. What about you? What am I to you Kukkii?"
"You are the most beautiful woman I ever met, and I wish to stay with you like this for ever."
"I see… Kukkii why are you so sad?"
"You remember my story?"
"Yes."
"You see I, no we can't find a way to bring our people here. We don't have enough energy supplies. We were hoping for some energy that our people who were here before us, but there is not enough."
"Isn't there a way to save your planet?"
"No we can't make dead stone into beautifully life-full meadow. It's impossible."
"I see…" Suddenly she noticed something in the bushes, it was a pack of wild wolves. "Kukkii we need to get out of here now."
"Don't worry I'm not afraid of these beasts just hide I'll get them." And he did Kukkii didn't need lot of time to kill the beasts but in his fight he got bitten.
"Kukkii are you ok?"
"Yea don't worry."
"Oh no the wound it could get infected. We need to treat your wound or you will die."
"Don't worry I said." He said stubbornly.
"Don't move!" She screamed. Kukki's eye's widened in shock realizing that he can't hide the truth from her, he surrendered to her completely. From her pocket Anzu got one shining little orb. "This is my family treasure." She whispered and put the orb on his wound. The wound healed immediately leaving Kukkii in a completely shocked state.
"What was that?"
"I told you, my family treasure. You see my family is known as a family of healing maidens. In every generation there is one maiden that is chosen to keep the secret of the sacred orb. This time the tradition was skipped because I'm already engaged to our lord and I can't become a healing maiden."
"But what is that orb?"
"It's a giant shining orb, strong like a diamond but soft as the water, I can't explain it. But it heals wounds and even returns to life. This is just one fragment of it, I wish I could give you the power but my father took the key from me and I'm forbidden to touch it anymore."
"Mew aqua…" Kukkii whispered.
"What?"
"Mew aqua. Its legendary crystalized water that my ancestor created millions of years ago, but when we left the planet we didn't take it with us. Please Anzu." He put his hands on her shoulders and looked at her eyes seriously. "Give me all the mew aqua you have right now I need to try something."
"Sure." She gave him a little bottle where the shining liquid was. "Please take care of it and if it can help you I'll be glad to give you the rest of it. That is until I… you know…I get married."
"Oh yea that reminded me, who is the lucky guy. He must be pretty awesome to steal your heart." He joked but somewhere in his joke was a little bit of sadness.
"He doesn't love me and neither do I love him."
"Wait, what? You don't love each other? Then why the hell are you two getting married?"
"Well my father promised me to him when I was born."
"What? I'm confused. How can he promise you to someone? And how older is he so he could remember that promise."
"Don't joke it's not funny!" She screamed. "Like many girls from rich families I'm promised to Kaito-sama to be one of his lovers!" She screamed even more but Kukkii was just staring at her blindly. "And he is fifty years old."
Kukkii's face went beyond pale. "Huh?! THE HELL?! What the hell is wrong with you people that guy could be your grandfather and why would he have lovers, what kind of father would do that to his own child?"
"Why are you so surprised?" Now she was confused. "Doesn't your lords have lovers?"
"No, God no! We all have one partner during our whole life, ok sometimes two if we fall in love again and old partner dies, but lovers, not to mention so much younger. And our Lords? We don't have them. Our leadership is different than one up here. Oh my, why would you say yes to that kind of marriage?"
"I don't have a choice, girls are not asked for those kinds of things, and they are just given." She was silent. "How is love on your planet?"
"Well I told you we live in terrible conditions. That is why we are marrying only those who we love. If we can't have clean water, nice meal, healthy life, we can at least have a partner that we love beside us."
"Right now I envy you. Soon you will have food, water, health and love. Like a haven."
"Anzu… Come with me."
"Huh?"
"I wanna show you something." She gave him a hand and in the flash she was pulled from the ground and taken to the sky. She screamed holding him as hard she could, afraid to open her eyes. "Open your eyes."
"No!"
"If you don't open them you will never see how it is to fly." He whispered lovingly.
Anzu opened her eyes and saw something that no human had before her. Her whole village, the people in it, the forest, the rice fields, everything was under her. She felt like the wind was holding her. This feeling: the warm sensation, the smell of the forest, the warm wind on her cheek. "Kukkii…" She wanted to cry. She wasn't afraid even if he would let her go now, she would die so happy, and free. "Kukkii…"
"What is it?"
She shook her head slowly and kissed him on the lips. It was her first kiss. The one that was given to the one she loved. It felt so great.
Kukkii was returning the kiss and slowly he landed them on the branch of one tree. They weren't aware of evil eyes that were watching them.
"Kukkii. Please come to my home tomorrow I want to show you something important."
"I will. But you have to return now...its twilight. Your people will be worried."
"I know. Take me home." He took her home and then returned to the ship.
"Oh I see you have returned." Green said but not happy to see him.
"Yes sorry for being late I lost track of time." Kukkii scratched the back of his head.
"Oh really I thought you were wasting time with that wrench of yours. You know we were working really hard for this and you are just fooling around."
"Wow what's gotten into you man? I was just out. I mean isn't normal for a guy my age to want to spend all his days of youth with a girl he likes in a world as beautiful as Earth?"
"You two stop it." Blue said with the voice that the mews knew pretty well. It was the voice of the ice cooled conqueror of the Earth. "Is there something you want to tell us Kukkii?"
"What, were you spying on us maybe?"
"No you just have that look on your face."
Kukkii mumbled a few words pouting like a little child. "Ok I have something to say, or it's better to say I have something to show you guys." He showed them a small bottle with some shining liquid. "I have mew aqua in here." the Others just sighed in shock, they knew about it but they never saw it with their own eyes. "Anzu gave it to me, and she told me there is more."
"Kukkii that is great. But it doesn't help right now." Gatoo said.
"Maybe…" Kukkii whispered. "I want to try something. Give me some of the soil from our planet." He asked Green.
"Here, but I don't see what will you do. Until now even with mixing with earth's soil it didn't show any sign of life."
"I know… " Kukkii put a drop of mew aqua in the soil of his planet, in few seconds dead sand was filled with grass, flowers, life. the Aliens were astonished with what they saw.
A fragment of hope appeared on Kukki's and Gatoo's face. But the look on Blues face was the same greedy, evil as the mews remembered it. Green was between confused and happy, but not happy for the others, it was obvious to the mews and aliens who were looking at the scene that sealed their fates and brought them all together.
"Kukkii do you know what this means!" Gatoo yelped hugging his brother. "We-we can finally…"
"Yes I know. If we can't bring our people to this planet we can bring life of this planet to them. Tomorrow I'll ask Anzu for more. But please do your calculation; see how much mew aqua we need to save the others."
"Yes, yes I'll do it right now. I won't sleep until I'm done." Gatoo said, Kukki never saw his older brother so happy, so cheerful, so determined, not even when they decided to come to Earth.
Green, Blue and Kukki left the room while Gatoo was left to do his job, all night long.
In the morning Kukkii woke up and checked on Gatoo. He was asleep but his work was done, Kukkii knew it because he knew that Gatoo never left his job unfinished no matter how hard it was. He covered his brother with a sheet and left the ship to see Anzu.
She was sitting in her usual spot near the lake, holding a flower and picking its petals. "Yo Anzu, what are you doing?"
"Kukkii! I was just checking on…something." She mumbled shyly.
"Huh, what?"
"Nothing, just a stupid tradition in this country. You are picking a flower's petals and saying "he loves me, he loves me not" and if the last petals stop at he loves me that means that the person that you were thinking of loves you."
"You right it is stupid." He said clearly mocking her. "If you want to see does someone love you, you need to ask him." He kneeled next to her. "And then…" He leaned forward kissing her.
Anzu was looking him in the eyes lost in those beautiful eyes that color didn't match anything from this world. "Anzu I must talk to you, it is really important."
"What is it?"
Far away in the woods Blue and Green were making their own conversation. "Green we must talk it is important."
"What is it brother?"
