Chapter 9

Minto screamed loudly as Kish teleported behind her and grabbed her around the neck, attempting to choke her. Zakuro snapped her whip and Kish moved back, a red mark now pressed into his face painfully. He growed and summoned more Kierama Anima, a fly and a rat, to help him finish off the pesky Mews.

Pie was slicing at Ichigo with his fan until she was nearly out of breath and it was then when Tart summoned trees to tie up the Mews. The whole palace crumbled as the trees broke through, forming almost a second palace of wreathed vines and painful cries. Retasu was tied up with Ryou hanging upside down a few feet a bove her. Retasu screamed angrily and tried to pull the vines around her body off but found them too hard. Ryou was lucky and wiggled out of the vines like a worm, falling a few feet before Retasu caught him by a foot. "Ryou, are you ok? Grab a vine, I can't holding you up forever." Retasu said quietly. Ryou obeied and snatched a nearby vine so he could keep himself in the air before trying to get Retasu free.

Ichigo screamed and dodged the mess of vines to the best of her ability but was finally caught. Purin had been caught and only 2 Mew Mews remained. Minto had flown into the air with Zakuro so they could avoided the vines. A vine lifted itself up and warpped around Zakuro's foot, tugging her to the ground again.

"Zakuro onee-sama!" Minto screamed, eyes wide with terror and slowly narrowing with anger. "First you attack me and my friends, then you ruin onee-sama' s palace and now you hurt her!!! I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT!"

Minto's words seemed to shake the palace and a bright blue light appeared in the sky above the palace. The aliens gasped and turned towards it instantly but the mews were still trying to get free. Minto gasped, her head ringing and a warm feeling hitting her hard, waves of it spreading off the glow.

"Mew... Aqua...?" Minto whispered, looking up. It was a Mew Aqua! She flew quickly over to it and looked around, wondering what to do now.

Ryou looked up and saw the glow so, without warnning, climbed as high as he could go. Retasu finally freed herself and watched as Ryou dug into his pocket and took a little, fuzzy pink robot out. "Alien. Alien!" It warnned but Ryou hushed it up. "Get to Mew Minto. Now. Go, R2000!"The fuzzy pink robot fluttered his pink wings and hurried up into the skies where he stopped with Minto. Almost instantly, much to Minto's horror, the robot ate the Mew Aqua. There was a pretty flash and a wand appeared in front of Minto and inscint told to grab it.

I can feel so much power... Minto thought as she held the wand Words are in my head... But they aren't my words...

"Aqua... DROPS!" Minto cried, twirling around. Millions of bubbles were spat out of her wand and they poped on nearly everything they touched, healing it instantly. The palace was put back together, all the Kirama Anima healed, the plants moved elsewhere... Everything was becoming so much prettier then before. Even her one cuts and bruises were going away!

The magic stopped almost as quickly as it began and Minto floated down to the ground were R2000 was turned back into a robot and he spat an empty bottle out to Minto, the bottle that once ahd the Mew Aqua. "Miiiiinto onee-chan!" Purin cried, running over to Minto and hugging her "You did iiit!"

"Minto! That was awesome!" Ichigo cried out. Zakuro merely smiled and patted Minto on the head, which was more then enough praise for Minto, and Retasu looked around for the aliens. "Wow... They left fast, huh? Ryou?" She turned around to see Ryou holding R2000 and smiling. "Well, Zakuro, it looks like you will have a Kingdom afterall."

Only 3 days after Zakuro became Princess all the Mews were starting to go their seperate ways again. Ichigo was headed to the palace for her date with Kish, Retasu and Purin were searching for the remaining Mew Aqua with Masha and Mint was helping Zakuro set up her new kingdom. Life seemed perfect...

"Oh... Where is he nya?" Murmered Ichigo was she searched around the gate of her castle "He didn't go already, did he nyu? Nya!" Kish suddenly appeared behind Ichigo and hugged her, taking her by surprise. She was so surprised that she screamed and her cat ears popped up. Luckily, Kish had his eyes closed so she managed to make them vanish before he had time to notice.

"I' m sorry, Koneko, did I scare you?" Kish asked as he poked at the bell around Ichigo' s neck. A wave of blush rolled across Ichigo's face and she smiled. Kitten? Had he seen her ears? "Why Koneko nya?" Ichigo asked with a smile, trying her best to appear like nothing was wrong.

"Because you remind me of a cat, sweety. Besides, you' ve started saying nya... You' re such a sweet kitty, Koneko." Kish explained. He was now standing far away from Ichigo and took her a minute to realize he was ready to go off for their date. "Nyah! Uh... Where should we go first?" Ichigo chirpped in happiness. This was her first date since Masaya died...

Masaya... She felt tears coming to her eyes so Ichigo switched her train of thought to Kish and their date. This was going to be the best day ever!

While Ichigo was having a grand ol' time on her date, Purin and Retasu were busy looking for Mew Aqua. Not a fun job. They were in a jungle, traveling along a river that connected Purin's Kindgom to Retasu's and then zipped into a lovely lake with waterfalls. The two called this lake the friendship lake, for a good cause too. When Purin first became a Mew Mew Ichigo was out here with Masaya studying the lake animals. Purin was thought to be too young to transform so when she did and saved the day everyone was beyond excited. Now Purin and Retasu met here to chat.

But today they weren' t chatting. Apparently, Masha had picked up traces of Mew Aqua activity here. Purin hopped about from tree to tree while Retasu swam through the river with her fins. It was the best way to cover ground. Retasu suddenly screamed in horror and ducked under the water's surface was Tart flew overhead. He hadn't seen her, as anyone could tell, because he just floated over to Purin and caught her as she jumped about hyperly.

"Well, someone's on a sugar high." He joked as she tried to get away from him. It took her a minute to realize who had caught her and within seconds she was hugging Tart like nothing had happened.

"TAR-TAR! Purin's FRIEND NANODAA!" She cried out happily before breaking out into a fit of giggles "What brings you here?!"

"The same thing that brings you, I'll bey. I'm looking for some Mew Aqua." Tart said firmly. He was looking disguisted over her... Friendliness... Finally he just pushed her off and put her in a tree. "You' d better not give me any trouble, you here? There' s Mew Aqua here and I' m going to find it..." Tart paused just as Purin got ready to leave and grabbed her by the arm. He held his hand out and a small device appeared in front of him. It was like a little computor on a stick with a needle on it.

Purin screamed. She screamed loud. "NEEDLE!" She shreiked, too scared to bother saying "na no da", and tried to get away. Tart was holding her arm rather firmly though and poked her with the needle. A scream shook the jungle and birds flew about in panic before Purin got a grip and realized she hadn' t actually felt anything. "Eh nada? What was that for?"

Tart looked at the computor scream and then made it vanish again. Purin blinked and he yanked her out of the tree and moaned. He would regret ever deciding to carry her... "You' re coming with me." Was all he said.

Retasu looked up and gasped. She took her pendent and whispered something into it. "Meet me at the Friendship River. Purin has been kidnapped!" But, sadly, the Pendent was dieing. Something was draining its power for the message was rather scrambled, but understandable. That was the last message Retasu would ever send from that pendent until she left the jungle...
