Chapter 3: For the One I Love!
It was a Saturday, so it was easy to get out of the house to start searching for the antidote. 'Just trust your animal instinct. When you feel the great power, you will know when you see it,' Those were the words that Ryou had left the Mew Mews, as they began their search. They each transformed then headed out, determination graced their features, and their spirits were up as they began their search for the 'Crystal Life'.
They split into two groups to gain faster results. One was of Minto and Zakuro, the other of Pudding, Lettuce and Ichigo. Both groups sped off, searching in tree branches, birds' nests, and then just running through different areas in Tokyo, going till they were able to sense something that could have come close enough to being the antidote..
Some spirits were dropping as the afternoon soon already made its presence, and was soon dropping from the sky, but they still refused to give up.. They had all been searching non-stop, and soon decided to take a rest. Though they would need to have called it a night, as the deep blue soon kissed the sky, and the stars studded the heavens like twinkling diamonds.
The two groups met up at the park, all of them almost collapsing to the ground. "I'm sorry hungry, I could eat a horse! When can we eaat????" came the whining voice of Pudding.
"Not till we find it." Ichigo's voice sounded firmly. Everybody groaned.
"Come on!" moaned Minto. "We've been searching all day and we've gotten nothing! Look! It's night!" she motioned to the clear night sky.
"Are you saying we should give up?" retorted Ichigo angrily, rising above the sitting Minto.
"Uh, No. I was saying that we need energy so we need to take a rest and eat something, unless you want us to collapse and waste searching time, then you best allow us to get our rest. It's not a smart thing to deprive us, when it's YOU who needs US for help. Because we can decide that we're sick of this and go home to EAT anytime. And I think I remember you needing us for this right?" Snorted Minto.
Ichigo's eyebrows furrowed in anger, and she was about to say something, before her stomach cut in with a growl.
"See?" she retorted. "I'm always right, you should know that by now."
Ichigo scowled, but then took no heed to it.. "Fine," she said, "Let's get back to the café and eat something.."
They began walking back, each noticing how the ground seemed to vibrate, yet not sensing anything because of their lethargy. "Ouch!" Pudding fell, then seemed to somehow, bounce along. The Mew Mews stopped to watch the vibrating child, a puzzled look upon their faces. "TTTHHHIIISSSS iiissssss fffuuunnnnnn..nnnnnnn!!!"
They turned around to see some giant mice Kirema Animas, with Kish Pai and Tart smirking behind them.
"HAHA! We're gonna win! We're gonna destroy you!" sneered Tart, as he raised a hand, and yelled out 'ATTACK!!!!'
"Great! Don't they ever leave us alone?" asked Ichigo, as she dodged the attack of one anima and landed softly into a tree. "I am really getting sick of you guys! You know? SUTORO BELL BELL!" Ichigo jumped up, holding out her attack ring that encrusted a heart at the top. "RIBBON STRAWBERRY! CHECK!" She shouted as a flash of light burst forth and flashed through the anima, placing it into nothing, leaving a small average mouse to scuttle away.
"You guys, should really give up, you're too easy!" sneered Minto, as she put herself up for the next turn. "Ribbon Mint ECHO!"
"You guys are getting really old," replied Lettuce
"Na! No-da!"
"Lettuce RUSH!"
"Pudding Ring INFERNO!" They attacked, leaving some small animals to scuttle away in fright.
The aliens just watched, as they fought each and every anima, easily defeating them. They may have been large, but they weren't fast enough to dodge the Mew Mews attack.
"Why are we doing this? This is so humiliating!" whinned Tart
"As they attack, I am currently mentally processing their data, and collecting info upon each one." Replied Pai in a monotone voice. "Ichigo is the strongest, yes, but she seems to only get it from the others, I am sure that by herself, she is quite unable to defend herself, and as they see her as their leader, they probably won't be able to issue many plans, because they will feel scattered and divided without her.. We get rid of her, then the others will break easily."
"So what d'you s'pose we do?" asked Tart
Kish perked up, and craned his neck to see the others from his perched position in the air. "We kidnap her, we can even do it right now,"
"No, hhmm.." Pai thought.. 'Did they really have to do it so soon?'
Pai never wanted a low form of life within such high life premises, and Tart definitely didn't want that old hag around! They started to make their own little argument just as the fight had finished.
"yes we should!"
"No! Not yet!"
"Do we haaave toooo????"
"Hey."
"But it'll be okay since they're fighting now right?"
"Hey!"
"No, I don't think we have prepared ourselves for this yet.."
"HEY!"
The argument broke up, as they saw a pissed off Ichigo looking their way, the aliens broke out of their little huddle. "Are you all having a little tea party or something?" She asked pissed off. "Why do you keep doing this? Don't you know that you're never going to win!" she shouted with a shake to her head... Something in her head tingled, and Ichigo got an idea...
"You did this!" she screamed pointing an accusing finger at them, vexation knitting her facial features. "You were the ones who poisoned my dear Masaya! It was your stupid snake anima!!"
Kish laughed.. "I thought Pai told you to watch out for his fangs?"
"You should see what it's done to my Masaya!! He's almost dead!"
Kish snorted. "Finally the little idiotic brat got what he deserved."
"NO! I WANT THE ANTIDOTE!" Shouted Ichigo, her face turning slightly red in anger and from shouting. "I WANT THE ANTIDOTE NOW!!"
Kish, teleported to Ichigo's side, hovering around her.
"And what makes you think I'll give it to you? My little kitten?" he said smoothly, as he stroked her chin, she thrust her chin away, and posed to strike at him, but just wasted strength as she struck at the air.
"Ichigo! We have the antidote!"
"What are you doing?" whispered Pai furiously. "YEAH! Why do you wanna give it to that old hag?" Kish shot a warning glare at Tart. 'I found a way to get her to come to us,' he whispered. "ICHIGO! If you want the antidote the, CRYSTAL OF LIFE!" Ichigo's eyes widened, they knew what she was talking about! So they MUST have the antidote then!
"If You want the antidote! Then you must return to this exact same spot tomorrow night! 9pm sharp! And we can lead you to it! The only catch is, that you must come alone!"
"WHAT?"
"You wanna save your love? Then You'll do it! We know that there's only one dose of this medicine! And we speak the truth! We know the name right? SO Ichigo, you can either come tomorrow and retrieve what you want to save your love, or return empty handed, It's your choice kitten." He soon disappeared from sight, along with Pai and Tart, leaving Ichigo alone with her friends.
They all ran towards her. "You aren't really gonna go are you?"
"mm" Ichigo nodded slightly. "YOU CAN'T!" cried Lettuce. "Who knows what they'd try to do to you! How do we know they're not lying?"
"Well, they issued the attack, and knew of the poison, bad guys always have the medicine to their own potions just in case it backfires on them."
"It's not a movie stupid!"
"NO!" shouted Pudding. "Ichigo! Are you crazy? You could get yourself killed! Or worse! Raped by Kish or sexually harassed!!" shouted Minto.
Even Zakuro who seemed to not speak spoke. "It's going to be dangerous, and you could be in plenty of danger, are you sure?" Everybody looked at Zakuro as if she were crazy, going about supporting Ichigo in this plan.
"Ichigo's quite formidable, and she is our leader. Ichigo should be able to handle it, she's gotten us out of situations like this before. And if Ichigo wants to be able to save Masaya, then I suggest she go to everything to get things done." Defended Zakuro.
"Uhmm," Ichigo nodded. "yes, it's worth a shot, and don't worry, I'll bring it back, and if there's nothing I'll get out of there!" Minto snorted.. Ichigo rolled her eyes. "Anyway, Masaya is the priority at the moment! I'M DOING THIS FOR HIM! Please tell Ryou and Keiichiro when you go back to work on Monday, okay? And don't worry, I'll be fine... I'm doing this for the one I love!"...
