CHAPTER 11 ------------
"What?! No, you can' t! TAAAR-TAAAR NA NO DAAAA!" Purin screamed, looking around the large cave desperately. There just had to be an exit! There had to! Her head was throbbing and her body felt so weak... She was beyond hungry... The little monkey girl finally collapsed on the dirt floor and sighed heavily, eyes watering. "Oh Tar-Tar... Why do you have to be so mean na no daaa? Why!?" She murmured before letting herself cry a bit.
"Ichigo-chan!" Retasu sighed heavily in relief as Ichigo ran into the village Minto and Zakuro had directed her to. Minto flew overhead, searching for any signs of the aliens. "I don' t see a thing!" She said with a sigh "Where could they be?"
"Hey! I found a clue!" Zakuro called from the entrance of the meeting building. In front of the large building that the hole was under was one of the purple kirema anima bugs, its jaws opened wide and revealing truck loads of dirt. Upon noticing the Mew Mews, who were running towards it, the beast spat the dirt at them. Clouds of eye stinging dust were blown and Ichigo instantly slowed down, along with Zakuro, because her cat instincts told her to cover her mouth and shut her ears. So the neko girl let her cat ears press against her head and, like Zakuro, she fell to her knees choking.
Retasu and Minto, on the other hand, were lucky. Minto instantly took to the sky and got out of the cloud' s way while Retasu jumped to a side. The digging bug was getting ready to attack the fallen Mews so didn't notice Retasu as she prepared an attack.
"Ribboooon... Lettuce Rush!" Retasu screamed. In a split second a jet of harsh water knocked the digging bug over and Minto flew down to her friends so she could drag them out of harm' s way. The bug prepared to dive towards the girls and Retasu hurried to prepared another attack but was too late. The large bug plowed into the ground next to the Mews and forced itself way underground. After a few seconds to catch their breath the girls gathered around the tunnel and looked down.
"That's weird nya..." Ichigo murmured "I think this tunnel leads to somewhere... C'mon nya!" Ichigo jumped into the tunnel and fell with a loud "SPLAT" on Purin who threw her off. Then Retasu landed on Ichigo and Minto flew down and gently put Zakuro on the cave' s floor.
"That was fast." Minto said with a smile, looking around "Now, Purin, mind filling us in?"
"WHAAAAAAT?!" Ichigo screamed once Purin had finished explaining what was going on. "Yup, there's a Mew Aqua around too..."
"Purin, there' s no time for that..." Retasu said in soft protest "We have to get out of here..."
"The witch is right, ye' know! You' re all gonna die!" Laughed a horrid voice, the voice of Tart.Tart floated over head, laughing at the pitiful Mews who were stuck in their doom. "I' ve already given the order to have this palce fall! You' re goners!"
"Mew Ichigo, I can fly you up one by one." Minto said firmly as the ground began to tremble. Ichigo nodded and watch Minto grabbed Zakuro and begin flying up towards the hole in the ground.
"You losers might save one or two opf your sucky group but you' ll never have enough time to get ALL of you up!"
Tart was right. It was taking Minto a while to get Zakuro up but, then again, maybe it was because Zakuro was so heavy. Purin glared at Tart and balled her fists. "TAR-TAR! STOP IT NA NO DA!" She yelled angrily, tail curled more then usuasl and anger filling her voice "STOP IT!"
"Not on your life, Runt! You hags are all going to die!"
"HAGS!?" Ichigo hissed "Don' t you dare call me a hag you lil' runt! RUNT! RUNT! RUNT!"
"HAG! HAG! HAG!"
"RUNT!"
"HAG!"
The fighting continued for a while and Minto flew back down to get Retasu. "Ichigo, what are we going to do about the people in that building?! They' ll die!" Minto yelled as she flew up.
"We' ll think about that once we' re out of here!" Ichigo replied "Purin, get ready! We' ve gotta go soon!"
Purin, though, continued to just stand ther. Then she spread her legs apart protectively and held her ground, eyes narrowed at Tart. "TAR-TAR! PLEASE STOP IT NA NO DA! Purin doesn' t want people to get hurt na no daaa!"
Tart paused and flew a bit closer to Purin, a evil smile cracked across his face. "Sorry, Saru-chan, but this is my chance to prove my worth to my brothers Kish and Pie!"
"Kish?" Ichigo whispered, staring at Tart in disbelief. The roof of the cave began to crumble and the shaking got worse while Ichigo stood there. Suddenly, Minto grabbed Ichigo and started dragging her up slowly and carefully, dodging the falling chunks of dirt.
"TAR-TAR! PLEASE STOP IT NA NO DA! YOU DON' T HAVE TO BE A PRINCE! I' LL STILL LOVE YOU NA NO DAAA!" She screamed. Ichigo, much to the luck of Purin's secret, was out of ear shot but saw Purin start running deeper into the cave. And, if her eyes weren' t mistaking, Purin was crying.
"PURIN! NOO! COME BAAACK!" Ichigo screamed "PUUURIN!"
Tart was frozen in his spot, face redder then a strawberry and eyes softened a bit. Love? Was that how Purin felt about him? And dangit! Was he... Happy?!
"Purin! Stop!" Tart yelled, flying after her. A rock fell in front of his path, cutting Purin off from the rest of the cave, and Tart punched it angrily. "Arrrg! Let me by! PURIN! This is so stupid!!!"
Purin didn't' really care that she was running away from her trip home. She wasn' t in the mood to see Tart laugh and call her an idiot for loving him. She did! He was so nice and when he kidnapped her before he didn' t treat her the way he was now! He was so much cooler and being near him was so much fun. They' d become friends and Purin was surprised by how quickly she' d decided she liked him that much.
A rock fell and Purin tripped, falling face first into the dirt. This wasn' t fair! Tart hated her and if she returned to her Kingdom people would hate her for not saving this tiny town she never knew was under her control. "Tar-Tar na no da... Why are you being so mean? I love you na no da..."
Suddenly a bright light erupted from the cave and a pair of tree roots from up above released something. Purin stared up in disbelief, eyes wide. A Mew Aqua? But... Masha wasn' t there! She couldn' t use the Mew Aqua without Masha!!!
"PURIN! NO!" Ichigo screamed when she got to the top of the hole. Her eyes were glossy with tears, heart filled her misery and regret. Purin was going to die and, to make matters worse, Ichigo had figured out that she was in love with the enemey! Kish... He couldn' t be Tart's brother, could he?
"Retasu! Here!" Ryou yelled, running up. He was out of breath and threw her Masha. "The Mew Aqua!"
"But Ryou, Purin' s down there and we don' t know where the Mew Aqua is..." Retasu replied sadly "What are we going to do?"
"Buy time!"
"HUH?!" The girls yelled angrily "HOW?!"
"Mew Power Extension! Girls, just focus on saving Purin!"
"Ok..." Minto said softly "Let's do this!"
"PURIN!" Tart yelled. He was still trying to beat up the rock that was blocking him from Purin, since he' d totally lost his mind over the whole love deal. "PLEASE! I just need this rock to go away!"
He frooze and teleported up above the ground, only to see Ryou with the Masha-thing that turned into the Mew Aqua Rod. This was Purin's Mew Aqua and she needed Masha... This could be his way of saying "I Love You Too" without actually saying anything and injurying his pride!
"'scuse me! Thank you!" Tart said as he flew over and grabbed Masha. Now... To get it to Purin... "D'oh! I can teleport!" Tart exclaimed. Within seconds he had teleported, leaving a stunned Ryou behind.
The girls didn' t notice Tart and were able to focus their powers into using Mew Power Extension. They floated into the sky and each took post somewhere around the building, stuck in a pillar of light. "This hurts..." Minto complained as she held her Mint Arrow high.
"I know... But it's for... The best..." Retasu managed to murmer. "We can do this..."
Purin continued to gaze at the Mew Aqua. What could she do, though? Rocks were falling around her, she was trapped and the Mew Aqua was right here!
"PURIN! Take this!" Tart yelled as he teleported in front of her, tossing her Masha. Poor Masha, sick from teleportation, was thrown to Purin who caught him and shoved him into the Mew Aqua. "Tar-Tar! Now what?!" She cried sadly "Minto healed with her Mew Aqua but healing won' t do anything now but put the hole back! It' ll fall again later!" Purin wanted to cry but she couldn' t. Not now. This wasn' t the time or place.
Tart flew over to Purin and grabbed her hand, smiling weakly. "Don' t worry, Purin." He said quietly. He was a bit dizzy right now but he couldn' t put a finger on why. "I' ll just make you something... Ok? Now, make this grow!" Tart smiled and summoned a bit of his power which he molded into a bunch of tree seeds. "GO!"
"RIGHT! MEW AQUA ROD!" Purin said with a bright smile as Masha slowly became the Mew Aqua Rod. The top of the cave was about to collasp and she didn' t have much time to spare. Purin snatched the Mew Aqua Rod and twirled it for a second before twirling around to get the bubbles to come out faster. "Ribbon Aqua DROOOOPS!"
The cave was filled with bubbles and the bubbles popped all over. They seemed to swarm aroudnt he tree seeds, though, and within seconds the seeds grew into large trees. The trees mutltiplied and pushed through the earthy soil, snatching the falling building and holding up high while dirt was returned to its proper place. Without a second to spare, Tart grabbed Purin and teleported them out of the bubble filled cave and appeared above ground. "Tar-Tar! You saved me na no da! I love you!" Purin cried happily, huggign Tart around the neck and giggling insanly. Tart blushed and pushed her back. Without any sort of notice he fell onto his back. A combo of too much blushing and an Earthen cold had gotten to his head and knocked him out.
"NA NO?! TAR-TAR!" Purin yelled "Are you okies?! TAR-TAR!"
Tree were appearing everywhere and four startled Mew Mews lost focus and their new attack.
"Aqua... Bubbles?" Retasu whispered "The Mew Aqua? But... How?"
"NA NO?!"
The girls could hear Purin scream and turned around to see her staring at the body of a knocked out alien. "Are you okies?! TAR-TAR!"
"Tar... Tar?" Ichigo repeated, wrinkling her nose.
"She gave him a nickname?" Minto murmered, seeming a bit disguisted "What is with her?"
"It's called love, Minto, and I think you' re too immature to understand it..." Retasu said with a giggle as she walked past Ryou and towards Purin. Her eyes caught his and she turned bright red but continued towards her friend.
"Don' t worry, Purin-chan, we' ll take care of him... He just has a fevor and I don' t think he's caught any bugs from around these parts before."
"There's no time for that!" Came a harsh voice from Retasu's pendent, which was around her neck when she transformed "There' s another attack planned at the ocean!"
"Ryou? Who the heck it that talking?" Ichigo asked, referring the man's voice that coming out of her pendent, as well as the transformation charm of all the other Mews.
"That's Keichiiro, we researched this whole War thing together. Purin, you go home with your boyfriend. Retasu, Zakuro, Ichigo! You three haven' t had your Mew Aqua yet and, if Masha's sensors are right, there' s a Mew Aqua at the ocean! Tokyo Mew Mew, let's go!"
"HAI!" The four other Mews said together. "Keichiiro, please send a helicopter for Purin."
"That's... Ok..." Moaned Tart as he sat up again "I can... Teleport us back quickly.."
"Uh... Ok... Purin, you and your boyfriend get home and better fast, alright?" Ryou said with a evil grin towards Tart who shot the same look back.
"I' m not her boyfriend... Yet."
"You so are na no da!" Purin cried, hugging Tart again "My boyfriend! Yay!"
Satou: Ugggg... Speaking of the bug, I got it, so please don' t kill me for the typos xX;
