CHAPTER 5 : Dark Nights

* * *

Pichu stood up on his wobbly feet, staring at this black, shadowy figure. The small mouse breathed deeply, trying not to pass out from the pain. He watched the figure grab the bell in its dark hands.

"That's not yours!" Pichu shouted and charged at the shadow. With a quick smack, he was back on the ground in pain.

"Pichu.." Kawaiinaku watched him whimper. She didn't understand why he had that argument. Nor why he started crying before.

Pichu struggled again to get back on his feet. His small body was aching with pain. What was this figure?

"I said that's not yours," he growled. The shadow stared at him with a blank face. It really had no face at all. Soon it began to laugh, its blank face twisting into another, femmine, face with a crooked smile--a smirk. It made a hissing sound, like a drowning cat, weilding the bell in its claws.

"Pichu," called Kawaiinaku, "get it back!" The mouse stood tall, glaring at the enemy. With a quick flash, he skull bashed the creature in its stomach, making it drop the bell. Pichu scammpered over to the bell and picked it up. He almost tripped over his own feet as he tried to run over to Kawaiinaku. The shadow looked up at him as he made his little get awayy. It reached out its claw, strectching along the way, and grabbed him by the tail.

Pichu yelped as he was being dragged away from Kawaiinaku, still holding the bell tight in his arms. "Help me!" Pichu cried out.

"Call forth Wind," she told him as if it were so easy.

"How?!" he yelled as the shadow held him upside down. Kawaiinaku just shrugged.

"You cought it," she told him coldly. Pichu muttered something under his breathe. He was sick of Kawaiinaku telling him things and not explaining how it is done. How was he supose to know how to 'Call forth Wing'?

Pichu struggled to get free of the shadow's grasp. "Open saysa me!" he shouted. Nothing happened. "I command you! Come forth!" Nothing, again.

"It's not working, Kawaiinaku!" he shouted. "Well, make it," she replied calmly. Pichu closed his eyes and awaited his fait as he tried to think of something to say.

"Uh..." Pichu held the bell tight, "Wind...I summon thee!" he shouted. Then there was a rumble and a gust of wind blew by. The bell flew out of Pichu's hands and floated just above him and the shadow figure. Then Wind appeared above it, her legs hidden in a swirling twister, her jester hat blowing in the air. She eyed Pichu with sparkling gray eyes, waiting for orders.

"Get it!!" Pichu shouted. Wind nodded and turned into a tornado. The shadow stared at the tornado and dropped Pichu. He scurried away as quick as possible when the shadow was swept up by the twister. It let out a scream as pieces of black goo went flying everywhere. Soon there was no more and the patches of goo turned into smoke, disappearing into the air. Wind returned back to the bell, having done completing her task. Pichu stared at the empty yard, happy it was all over.

"Good, Pichu," Kawaiinaku giggled clapping.

"Yea..sure," he replied picking up the bell that had fell on the ground. She watched him, a little confused as he went inside. She then quickly followed him before he closed the door.

"Oh, Pichu. I was just about to call you," Mario spoke as he saw the yellow mouse come into the mansion, "Peach says it's time for--"

"I'm not hungry," Pichu interrupted Mario. The plumber stared at him. Pichu was never rude like that.

"I..I don't feel good," Pichu said, "I'll be in my room." he then walked along the hall. Mario just shrugged and went back to the kitchen.

Kawaiinaku followed Pichu slowly. Why was he getting angry? Did she do something wrong? She shook her head clear of thoughts and continued following hm, passing the den. All of a sunden she felt like she was being watched. Again she shook her head and walked along.

* * *

Mewtwo was sitting in the den, finishing a book, when he saw..it. A flsh of yellow light, twinkling pass the door way. He blinked and looked again. It was gone. He had a feeling it was following Pichu. That little rat and his bell. Where did he get it? All Mewtwo knew was that something will happen soon. And it wasn't just his powers telling him that.

* * *

"See, Pichu!" Kawaiinaku said playing with one of Pichu's pillows, "everything is going great!"

"Great!" he snapped, "I could have been killed! You wouldn't even help me!"

The strange cat girl was silent. Then she grinned and threw the pillow in his face. "Pillow fight!" she giggled. Pichu wasn't amused.

"Just leave me along, Kawaiinaku! Leave me alone!" he shouted and went under the covers of his bed. He knew in the morning everyone would be asking abou the shouting. He didn't care. Pichu just needed a good rest. Maybe thing will be better in the morning.

* * *

"Now I did it," Kawaiinaku though, "he's mad at me. He wants me to go away." "Pichu is the Spirit Master, it should be about him too," she sighed.

~By the time he catches all the spirits...he'll be killed. Watch your back. Someone may know about this.~

"Yes. But it doesn't feel right. It'll be sad to see him go."

~Just think. Afterwards you'll have a purpose. And it won't be the bell.~

"..." Kawaiinaku walked over to the window.

"One day my star shall shine. One day it'll shine for us."

And with that, she left, disappearing out the window.
