Sword-chan- Welcome to chapter 2 of Through Time. It's actually chapter ONE, because the first was an intro. A mini. A rip off .
Kishuu- :: raises fist up demandingly :: I WANT MY MONEY BACK!
Sword-chan- You're not paying to read this or be in this.
Kishuu- :: grumble :: Yeah, you should pay me, all the pain I go through, the bills I get from my therapist...
Sword-chan- :: enlarges ear and cups hand to it :: Come again?
Kishuu- :: sweetly and fake :: Nothing!
Sword-chan- xX You sound like Barbie.
Kishuu- EEW!! :: washes out mouth with icky soap ::
Sword-chan- By the way, the way fate happens will probably just tear Masaya haters. Without him, nothing would've happened... Eh. It's probably to soon in the fanfic for a battle- hinteh hinteh- but whatever. I dun care. After a while this story's gonna change to FIRST PERSON! Ichigo, I don't know why... Maybe I'll change characters. :: shrug ::
X.x.X- Chapter 2 (1?)- Down Go The Walls! XD -X.x.X
Ichigo stared dreamily at Masaya. I can't believe it... This is to good to be true... Yes, without the Mew Mew experience, it had taken a while for this utter crap romance to blossom out. As much as the Masaya people hate it, it was bound to happen. Yoshida and Ikumi say so. And so, Masaya and Ichigo had only become an item when Ichigo was 14- last year. (This means no lemon. I suck at it anyways -.-;; But whatever. Cutsy stories are nice after a while...) She let the memory of their 'blessed' first date come over her... That one snobby girl, the one with the glasses, the model, who, if she wasn't mistaken, was called Zakuro, and the one that had had to much sugar... she saw them every now and then on the streets, but didn't say anything. It was purely coincidental, wasn't it... Masaya was finishing up his training now... he was coming towards her...
And something happened that made her and everyone surrounding scream out in terror.
Masaya wasn't Masaya- his hair had grown much longer, his outfit changed into some weird flowy thingy, his eyes... sinister. Then all of the sudden, the setting disappeared, and she was somewhere else. Where people -no, those weren't people; those were freakin' ELVES!- were walking, but, seeing this, stopped and stared in wonder.
X.x.X
Kishuu had been sitting under a tree when the emptiness overcame him. It had been coming since he turned 13-ish- this cold, emptiness, it's cause unknown. Like there was something missing... Noticing the sudden silence, he stood and walked to the central gathering area and saw the thing that had only appeared in old, old carvings. Something they had given up on long ago- The Messiah. There was someone else there- someone that made the emptiness go away. The girl.
X.x.X
Ichigo looked up at the Once-Masaya, her ears ringing. That look in his eyes... she crawled away, as far away as she could get. A little something told her this would get messy.
"You have forgotten about ME, your savior?" he rasped, "You will pay dearly for that..." What? Savior? Huh? Ichigo's mind spun, but somewhere in that spinning process, memories that had never happened faded in... then out. A crashing noise was heard, but no damage done- a teaser. A teaser that saved that whole clan. A split second after, four girls dropped in. Ichigo recognized them immediately- the girls from the museum, just two years older... (Their age depends on which ages you use, the one in the anime or manga, cuz I think, from Mew Mew Power Uncensored, that in the Japanese anime Ichigo was 13, Minto 13, Retasu like... 14 or something- why are they making Retasu younger in the dub? Evil 4-Aho!- and Purin 8... but I use teh manga, indeed I do, cuz I've only seen one episode of the anime... So it goes like this-
Ichigo- 15
Minto- 15 :D
Retasu- One-Six
Purin- 14
Zakuro- 19. Old duffer.
Masaya- DO WE CARE? NO!
Pai- Urm... 19 or 20...?
Kishuu- 15 or 16 :D I love not giving exact answers!
Taruto- 15! I don't know why it's definite!), but whatever. The one with blue hair stood immediately, startled, but not in a 'Why-the-hell-am-I-here?' way. A 'I-just-remembered-something' way. She cried out something, but it just sounded like crazy talk. Has she gone insane...? thought Ichigo just before, while as I tell you what Ichigo was thinking Purin was thinking Pretty light... Yeah. She's a real winner. -.-;; The girl had gotten wings and changed into an utterly skimpy outfit. Ever notice how stupid Tokyo Mew Mew would look if the girls were 17? Eh. They're not 17. So I don't care. FWEE!
"What the heck are you doing?!" cried Ichigo, jetting her arm out to catch the green haired girl from fainting.
"I don't know... something just told me to... but, hey, it works," (A/N- How they have their powers after Pai tampered with time, I have no clue... IT'S FATE!) The green haired girl stumbled up and brushed herself off, paused in mid-brushing-self-offing, then cried out the same thing- "Mew Mew Metamorphi-sis!" (Doo doo, doo doo doo dooooooooo!!) The blonde said the same thing, then Zakuro... And then Ichigo. Except for the Strawberry in front of it, but does it look like I care? Ah-no. Or maybe it does. Can you see my face? Ah-no. OR CAN YOU?! Ee, I have terrible bed hair! She felt something grow... a tail? Cat ears? And her outfit seemed to change...
"Whoo! Costume!" giggled the blonde (Who, in case you haven't noticed, is Purin. o.O Just makin' sure.). O.K... thought Ichigo, Now we've transformed to... urm... Mew Mews or whatever... But what do we do no-- pausing in mid-thought, another memory-that-never-really happened came back to her, like a voice whispering this was supposed to happen earlier...
"Strawberry Bell Bell!" and before she could realize how stupid that sounded, she said it. A chorus of voices soon followed...
"Mint Arrow!"
"Lettuce castanets!"
"Pudding Ring! Ooh..."
"Zakuro's Cross!" (Or whatever it said. I always thought it a cross o.o Because Zakuro is seemingly Christian or Catholic or... something...? Lucky for me, the episode I did see was the one where they find Zakuro... and she's at church.. and she has a cross necklace and... yeah. So I say it's a cross, damnit!)
"So now we've scared these people out of our wits and we have 'weapons' that look like child's toys... What the hell do we do now?" asked the blue haired girl, who's name Ichigo guessed was Minto. Thank the STARS there's actually someone who probably didn't change their name to a food for attention (Zakuro...) besides me! Ichigo did a mini silent thanks thing.
"The words will come to you!" she shouted (Notice this line...?) And indeed they did.
"Ribbon Mint echo!" (No idea if this is the attack used in the anime...)
"... RIBBON LETTUCE RUSH!"
"WHEE!! Pudding Ring INFEEERRRNOOOO!!!"
"Ribbon Zakuro's Pure!" (That does kinda make sense... her being all religious... Eh, I'm thinking to much!)
"Ribbon... Strawberry Check!" Oh come ON. That's the stupidest attack I've heard since 'Schwaa, schwaa... HERE I GO!'! There was a silence, and a wait for all the weird, multicolored smoke to clear (Saying there was weird, multicolored smoke), and then they saw, oh surprise, it hadn't worked. THINK, Ichigo, THINK!
"Um... Guys? I think you need to lend me your strength... or power... or something... NOT LIKE THAT!" she cried as Purin tried to throw her ring at her. Retasu's power-lending was already working, she noticed, and watched orb float to her... And then Minto, and Zakuro, and lastly, Purin, and that probably has something to do with all the caffeine... And then Ichigo did the upgrade thing, but I'm having a brain blank so I can't remember exactly what it is...
Wait for it... wait for it... it's not coming. Crap. I'll skip it. -.-
And after her bell grew considerably bigger and got wing thingy ma bobs, her voice seemed to have a mind of its own.
"RIBBON STRAWBERRY SURPRISE!" Now, in the battle that never happened, it was very hard, but considering the world doesn't need it's mew aqua now, and Ichigo has no idea what she's doing, and the fate thingy ma bob is doing it all for her...
DOWN GOES DEEP BLUE! A loud cheer rose up from the crowd, but Ichigo didn't hear it. Why, she was off in 'Oh-my-god-I-just-killed-my-boyfriend-la-la' land, and even that world was starting to get dark...
X.x.X
My eyes fluttered open, and for a few seconds everything had a green tint to it (A/N- Cat eyes. I always wondered about that- if she's a cat, shouldn't she kinda see things cat like? In GREEN!?), then reverted to normal.
"Where... what...?"
"That's right, play the part..." said a mocking voice, "Where am I? What happened?" it copied in a shrill tone. Turning was painful, so I had to shift my whole body to see him. A short kid with red-orange hair in PIGTAILS stood to my left. Wait- those ears aren't normal... Where...? Then the memory came flooding back to me, fresh as ever. Ignoring the pain that flooded through me, I stood to face him.
"What happened to Masaya?" I pointed an accusing finger at him, "That wasn't him back there, was it?"
"Don't worry, wench... API's taken him back and is erasing him and the witnesses short term memory as we speak... And as for you..." he put a hand on his hip, "We'll have to erase you're memory too, and your little friends," he reached to grab my hand, but I jumped back, only to discover that I was in a small room.
"Don't struggle... you won't remember the pain of the syringe when you come to," he reached for me again.
"That REALLY makes me want to go with you!" I cried out sarcastically, leaping away, when the door I was in front of lurched open and nearly flattened me against the wall. Well, I guess now I can fulfill that childhood dream of being a pancake with Strawberry topping.
"Taruto! What the heck are you doing?!" demanded the someone.
"I made a pancake!" he chirped, which was surprising from the way he was acting earlier. Like Mini Me from Austin Powers... Small but really, really scary.
"What the--?" the door suddenly opened to reveal a green haired boy, about my age, but his ears were the same as the others- elf like. "Um... are you o.k?"
"Uh, yeah... I mean, I kinda always wanted to be a pancake," I shrugged, then mentally slapped myself. You're supposed to be acting all 'WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?! WHERE'S AOYAMA-KUN'-ish, Ichigo! Stay focused! They're trying to brainwash you! The boy laughed, my mood wavering on an unsteady point. But I managed to get it back to a strong sci-fi heroine thing.
"What just happened?"
"We're not sure, but your boyfriend, or whatever, is our ancient messiah," he didn't want to look at me, did he? "But we've fixed that..."
"Masaya! Masaya, this can't be true can it? This is just a joke, right?" I said, looking up at him... the same face...
What's happening?
"NO! Don't hurt him anymore!"
"Ichigo, what are you--?"
"RIBBON STRAWBERRY CHECK!"
Why am I hurting those girls? Where am I?
A hand slapped across my face.
"Minto?"
"Ichigo, I know this is hard for you," she fumed, "BUT YOU NEED TO SNAP OUT OF IT!"
I blinked as the vision vanished and realized the boy was snapping his fingers infront of my face.
"Sorry, Kishuu, what'd you say?" his face twisted in confusion.
"How'd you know my name?" At those words I was back to Earth-- erm, or whatever planet this was-- and realized I didn't know. Kishuu's eyes went round and wide in amazement, and by the look in them, I knew he was seeing the same scene I had. Taruto started snapping his fingers in a circle in front of Kishuu.
"No!" I pulled him back roughly.
"Jeez," a look of disgust crossed over his face, "What the heck is wrong with YOU?"
"Nothing," Kishuu murmured, his voice breathy, "Nothing..." he grabbed me by the arm and led me outside of the building, to a nearby tree (THE tree Kishuu sits in n' stuff :D).
"What was that? I know you saw it too... You... and those girls... but you were... different..."
"That was me, when I was younger... Except my hair was pink and... yeah..."
"But I saw something else... I saw... myself in your arms... nearly dead... What is this? The future?"
"It can't be! I was younger, remember?"
"That's just it- these things never happened!"
"Look, I don't know, but it's not doing us any harm, is it? Jeez!" I flicked my tail, then was surprised to see it still there. Won't you go down?! I scolded it mentally, then saw it disappear. I didn't care about the ears- I actually kind of liked them. Kishuu shrugged, like 'Kay-then-shifting-thoughts...'
"Hm, you're cute when you're annoyed..." he brushed a few strands of hair away from my eyes and gave me a small kiss. But I had a weird feeling he'd done it before.
