IMPORTANT (to me at least ;) ) – If your name is not on the list but you have reviewed let me know. It's just cause people keep changing their profile names and so I'm not sure if the same people are reviewing or if it's a new reader :D Thank you ^^


~ Besides, You Owe Me ~

~ Chapter 36 ~

Kish and Ichigo were standing together in the entrance hallway of the Zone, which was now full of important persons and followers of the highly respected Cherry-sama. Jezz, the prime minister of the land, was among them but he seemed to be looking for someone rather than waiting. Just then, he caught a glimpse of red hair across the space and began making his way over. He edged around people and pushed passed others. Then finally Jezz emerged from the crowd and arrived in front of Kisshu who looked stricken with worry and a very drowsy, exhausted looking Ichigo.

"Kisshu-sama, Momomiya-chan. Do you perhaps have any idea as to where Aizawa-san is? I suspect Axel-san is the culprit but knowing who stole the girl away doesn't exactly say where they are now, does it?" he asked and so quickly that it took them a moment to realised what he had actually said.

Ichigo smiled weakly; she was lacking terribly in sleep, "If she's with Axel she's absolutely fine...and probably more than content, Jezz."

"But it is dangerous for a human to be wondering our streets," he exclaimed in a rather panicked state.

"Hey! I was totally fine, she'll be...alright," Ichigo yawned.

"I know what I'll do!" Jezz told them, "I'll check with the head of the M.P!"

"M.P?" Kisshu repeated confused.

"He means Shirogane-san, head of the Mew Project," Ichigo explained and then muttered to herself whilst glaring at the floor, most likely picturing her boss, "And complete jerk at times."

"He may have some way of tracking down Aizawa-san!" Jezz pointed out excited about his new plan of action.

"Actually," Ichigo spoke up, realising something, "That's exactly what he has – given that Minto's still holding on to her pendent. See, each mew pendent has a tracking device and communicator inside."

"Oh, that's what that thing was..."Kisshu trailed off, a memory replaying in his mind.

"Excuse me?" Ichigo asked, eyebrows raised accusingly.

"Look Koneko-chan, I already told you that we had your pendent, you know that," he reminded her and then took a deep breath before he added, "I also mentioned the analysing that Pai's been doing, didn't I? The tests and calculations and stuff? Well, at one point the thing started making some odd noise, like it was receiving bad signal – which of course it was, but we didn't know that!"

"And you didn't think to tell me?" she grumbled.

"We didn't know what it was then! Of course, I know now that they were trying to contact you but before Pai and I were intrigued and confused," he gazed at the ground thoughtfully then glanced at her face to see her looking unimpressed with his terrible excuse. So he tried to make it somewhat amusing, "Well, when I say intrigued and confused, Pai was intrigued and I was just confused as always."

Ichigo sighed and rest her tired head on his chest, deciding to just give up before the argument even began; she was way too tired anyway.

It seemed that Jezz had slipped off somewhere to get Ryou and Keiichiro in hopes of finding the missing mew and the crafty cat that stole her away.


Axel sighed and gazed at the scene around him. The glowing insects seemed to be retiring to their shelters and nests now and only few still remained hovering around the space. The Mew Aqua plant beside him still held the brightly glowing orb and the calming sound of the flowing river continued on. By the slight amount of light slicing through the tree's vines and branches, Axel realised it was early morning and the sun was rising.

He closed his eyes and breathed in the cool clear air deeply before letting it out a second later.

When he opened his eyes again they were drawn to the small figure he had his arm around. He couldn't remember how long ago now but they had both sat down by the tree's bark and it seemed as though they had fallen asleep together. Axel watched as her small chest rose and fell with every small silent breath she took and he didn't even realise that for the first time in weeks he wasn't thinking about a certain redhead that he had fallen in love with not so long ago.

Just then the girl snuggled up closer to him in her sleep and he had to hold his breath as it shocked him somewhat. But it made him feel warm, it made him feel happy and not alone.

Little did the catboy know, Minto was awake but so comfortable that she dare not move. She also felt warm in his company but also safe as well and this moment was so calm and peaceful and wonderful that she felt it was wrong to disturb it.

Besides, wasn't Axel asleep right now? How rude would she be to wake him?

So the pair stayed that way believing the other were still sleeping.


One minute the hall was filled with the normal chatter of waiting friends and family...the next an awful shriek coming from the hallway that led down, further in to the Zone echoed the room. The crowds all fell silent as they turned to and dived out of the way of a frantic patient seemingly running randomly around the room. It didn't take long to realise she was looking for someone even before she started screaming.

"Where is she? Where is she, God dammit! Someone tell me!" She pleaded desperately as she continued on her mad dash around the different faces, "Please! Ichigo! Ichigo! Ichigo!"

The woman suddenly tripped over her own feet and landed on the floor. It was truly a disturbing and heartbreaking scene. The woman didn't get up again instead she sobbed her heart out on the cold stone floor for a few lost moments before she began furiously pounding the ground with her bloodied fists. Sakura beat the ground, even though it hurt her more than any good was beeing done.

"Mum?"

The woman froze.


Axel - Hazzi-chan, you've been gone for like...how long?
Hazzard - I don't know ¬~¬" I've been very, very busy...
Ichigo - Doing what?
Hazzard - College work! In't that right, Aoyama-san?
Aoyama - Yes, Hazzi-chan ^_^
Hazzard - *Glares* Just cause we agree on one thing doesn't mean we're friends! You got that, part-time blondie! xO
Aoyama - :( Yes...
Kisshu - Ha!
Jezz - Pst! Pst! *Hazzard walks away from everyone else and over to Jezz*
Hazzard - What?
Jezz - Um...I read your plans and...why are you starting another fanfic? :( Don't you love us anymore?
Hazzard- o.O...Yeah! Course I love you guys...I just...wanna write more, okay! Geez! ¬¬
