CHAPTER 6: Viva la Lightning!
Pichu woke up to a knock on the door. "Come on sleepy head! Wake up!" shouted a voice. It was Ness. "We're going to Nintendo City. Hee hee. We might see Ribbon," he teased. Pichu sat up with a grin on his face. "Oh shut up, Ness!" he said throwing a pillow at the door,"I'll see you guys later."
"Okay punk head," Ness laughed and ran down the hall. Pichu sighed and sat up. It was very quiet. Too, quiet...
"Kawaiinaku?" he called, "Kawaii? Where are you?" he looked around. Then he didn't think much of her disappearance. Maybe she was exploring or something. Pichu grabbed his remote and turned on the TV. The news was on right now and looked very interesting.
"Toad here and reporting last night's thunder storm. We had a lot of action here in Nintendo City as you can see," the screen flashed to the city, lighting striking the streets. Then the screen shown a top of a building, lightning striking in the background. Something then caught Pichu's eyes, a dark blue and yellow figure standing on top of the building.
"Chrzz whvereez youchuzzz chrezzb" he heard a voice coming from the TV.
"What the...?" Pichu gasped.
"Zeerm chrozzz!" the voice continued.
"K-Kawaii! Naku...Naku where are you?!" he shouted. No answer. Pichu turned off the TV and grabbed the bell. Quickly he ran out his room to go to Nintendo City.
* * *
The rodent walked threw the streets of the city. It was busy as always. He could see the damage the so called thunder storm caused. Parts of the streets were black, burnt looking. Yet it didn't scare away anybody, and people still went on with life as always.
As he walked by "Topa's Ice Cream Shop" he saw Ness, Y. Link, the Ice Climbers, Kirby and his friends, Waddle Dee and Ribbon, sitting by the window eating ice cream. He thought it would be nice to hang out his friends. He forgot all about looking for Kawaiinaku and went towards the entrance.
"Hi guys!" Pichu said walking in. He took a seat next to Kirby across from Ribbon.
"Hey," they replied.
"Hello, Pichu," Ribbon said pushing her bowl of ice cream towards him, "want some of this?" she asked, "I'll never finish it and Kirby needs a diet."
"I am so NOT fat!" Kirby yelled. The others giggled. Pichu blushed at Ribbon, accepting the ice cream. It was vanilla and chocolate with fudge, his favorite.
"Thank you," he told the fairy.
"What brings you here?" asked Ness, "needed something 'sweet'?" he smirked. Pichu stuck his tongue out at him.
"No... I seen something on TV," he said.
"That thunder storm?" asked Waddle Dee.
"That was last night," said Popo. "It's over," finished Nana.
"It was weird though," sighed Y. Link, "not a drop of rain."
"Hence THUNDER storm!" Kirby joked, but no one laugh, just gave off little smiles.
"No... hence lighting storm, idiot," Ness elbowed Kirby.
"Ow!" the puff ball cried rubbing his arm.
"I bet that wasn't a storm," mumbled Pichu.
"What was that?" asked Ribbon.
"Nothing! Uh... I better go!" Pichu said, quickly hopping from his seat, "see ya later!" he then left, trying to hide his red, blushing, face.
"Aww..." cried Ribbon, "I never got the chance to complement him on his bell."
"And he didn't eat his ice cream!" Kirby smiled and gobbled down the snack. "Ah! Brain freeze!" Everyone at the table began to chuckle.
"He sure did leave in a hurry," Ribbon thought watching Pichu disappear in the crowd.
* * *
"Hulo, Pichu!" a silly voice said, the voice that belonged to Kawaiinaku. Pichu yelped and fell on his tail.
"Your face," she pointed out, "it's red."
"Yeah... Ribbon. She's great, but it won't work out. Maybe one day I'll find a girl Pichu. Until then... it's okay to love," he told her.
"Love?" she stared at him.
"Yeah. When you love someone it means you care a whole bunch about them. Do you know what I'm talking about?" he asked her seeing more confusion.
"Sure, Pichu!" she hugged him, "see. I wuv you, Pichu!" she giggled.
"She doesn't understand," Pichu thought, "do any of the Spirits have feelings?" he wondered crawling away from Kawaiinaku.
"Let's go home," he told her.
"Okies!" Kawaiinaku laughed and they went back to the estate.
* * *
The little mouse sat on the wing of the StarFox crossing over the Venom. This was just a good place to relax. Good thing the Air Wings only shoot during a fight.
"What we doing here?" asked Kawaiinaku.
"Nothing," Pichu sighed. He had a bad feeling all of a sudden. Not long after it started getting dark. A bolt of lighting hit the StarFox, surprising the two. From lighting came a girl. She had pale yellow skin and wore some kind of costume that resembled a one piece bathing suit, full of yellow and blue swirls. She wore long gloves and boots, all blue, and had pale blue hair that almost reached down to her shoulders. It was put into a hairstyle which made it look like lightning bolts were falling from her head.
"Lightning," said Kawaiinaku. Pichu stared into Lightning's dark yellow eyes. He sighed and got the bell ready to fight.
"Chrrrome zzzerre!" she said in a static like voice.
"Um..." Pichu backed away a little.
"ARGH!" she screamed as she hit Pichu with a bolt of electricity, shocking his poor body.
"Ahhh!" Pichu was tossed back. He shook his head and slowly stood up again. "Wanna play like that?!' he teased, "PICHU!" he sent a jolt of electricity, hitting her, but doing little damage. Lightning just looked more angry.
"YAH!" the spirit ran after him, punching Pichu, shocking him every second. Then she sent him kissing the floor with a kick. Pichu was down, but he wasn't out. He got up and prepared to do another attack. He cried out to the skies and brought forth a bolt of lightning. Not noticing, Lightning kicked at Pichu, but he dodged it and was out of the when the spirit was struck by the lighting. She let out a scream and fell to the ground. Relieved, Pichu took the bell to ring when she slowly stood up again.
""Chrzzz...DIE!" she got ready to punch him.
"Wind, I summon thee!" Pichu threw the bell, and Wind flew out wrapping Lightning up in a twister.
"Chrooozzz!" Lightning screamed as she heard the bell's music. Soon she and Wind were returned back to their rightful place.
"Phew! Glad that's over" Pichu said sitting down, "I really need a brake... catching spirits hurt.." he cried.
"Are you still mad at me?" asked Kawaiinaku. Pichu turned his head to look at her.
"Oh..uh," he started, still thinking of what to say. "I dunno. I would like to know where you were today, I guess." Suddenly Kawaiinaku seemed to change. Her innocent little face, turning cold, and mean.
"~Why don't you shut up little rodent. Where I go is none of your business~" she snapped. Pichu knew she didn't sound right. She sounded different.
"Wha?" Pichu asked.
"I...I.." she panicked. She didn't know whether to keep silent or explain something. "~I think you're weak. I'm surprised you were able to catch two spirits. Maybe you'll have a chance next time. Or maybe you'll die!~"
Pichu was shoked. Why was she saying this? Why was she being so mean?
"Just go away! You have no right to say that! I am not weak! I...I hate you!" he shouted, "never show your face to me again, Kawaiinaku. Never again!"
"No..." she cried, tears running down her face, "NO!" she vanished from sight.
Pichu stood there, crying, too. It all happened so fast.
"When you love someone, it means you care a whole bunch about them."
"I wuv you Pichu!"
"Never again!"
"NO!"
All he has now are the voices in his head, the memories, the spirits. Will Pichu see Kawaiinaku again?
* * *
"I hate you!"
"No! No! No! Don't me! Don't..." Kawaiinaku cried.
~This is all your fault. Too late to change.~
"No! This is all YOUR fault! I want you out!"
~You won't receive what you want.~
"...But... I can't... Pichu.."
~ It doesn't matter about Pichu. It's all for the spirits.~
"All for the spirits," Kawaiinaku sighed, "all for the spirits."
