KatanaFoX: How's he a wimp? O.o He does know kendo and he's really good at it. I take it Ryou is one of your favorite characters? Uhm, don't take this offensively, but I really don't like him. I don't like snobby chracters (like Mint) and at times, Ryou reminds me of a male version of Mint. Except without the afternoon tea and ballat. O.O Great! Now I just pictured Ryou in a tutu, dancing ballat! (Starts smacking self in head) Get out! I... don't... wanna... picture that! Grrrr. LOL
Wendex: -cough- just say he tries it again in a few chapters. XD Cool! I share the same B-day as your mom. What a coincidence, ne? Though, most of the people I'm related to have birthdays in June. O.oI have two new nieces that were born on June 9th. -.-;; BTW: Did my E-mail get through this time?

Chapter 6
'The Battle with Yusouki Begins!'
"Okay... okay! I'm going," Kisshu sighed, after being shoved through the hallway door. "Quit pushing!"
"Then keep moving, you sicko!" Rei yelled.
"Geez, ya keep ruining all our fun! Right Ichigo?" Kisshu looked over at the cat girl, who was cowering in a corner with her blanket up to her mouth, and winked at her. Ichigo's cat ears and tail popped out again and she buried herself deeper into her blanket.
"Don't freak her out anymore than you already have!" Rei quickly swung her broom at the alien boy once more, but this time he teleported out of the way and reappeared further down the hallway.
"Well, you shouldn't be so touchy!" he yelled, while shaking his fist. Kisshu quickly walked back inside his room and sighed. "Man! I almost had her that time!"
"What did you do!" Ryou, who had just woke up a few minutes before Kisshu walked inside the room, yelled.
"Ah! Blondie, you're a wake! Too bad you're late or else you would've seen a good show."
"What are you talking about? You didn't do anything to Ichigo, did you?"
A sweat drop appeared on the back of Kisshu's head. "Umm, that's not important. What I meant was... you missed Ichigo kissing me!"
"..."
"What? Too surprised to say anything?"
"Nnnooo... just thinking how stupid you are," Ryou replied.
"Huuuhh?" Kisshu begun; confused. "Oooh, I get it. You're just jealous."
"What's there to be jealous of? Nothing happened between you and her."
"Denying the truth... so like you," Kisshu added with an evil smile.
"Arg! You are really getting on my nerves!"
"Then why don't you do something about it? I'm up for a fight!"
"Fine," Ryou said.
"Fine."
"FINE!"
"FINE!"
"Will you two... SHUT UP!" Pai, who had awoken due to all the noise, shouted.
"AAAAHH!" both Ryou and Kisshu yelled in unison.
(Morning: 8: 36 A.M)
"How come Ichigo-san isn't a wake yet?" Lettuce asked. She, as well as all the other girls, was now fully dressed. All of them had even had breakfast... except Ichigo, and the guys.
"Don't know, don't care," Mint answered.
"Ichigo-oneechan!" Pudding called out, jumping on Ichigo. "Wake up! Wakeupwakeupwakeuuuuuup!"
"Let her rest for a while," Rei said after walking into the room. "She was up most of the night after Kisshu got a little too friendly last night..."
"Hey! Wait! Where is Kisshu, anyway?" Mint asked.
"I was wondering why it was so quiet. I guess that's the reason."
"Shirogane-san isn't here either," Lettuce noticed. "I hope he and Kisshu didn't kill each other."
"Maybe we should check on them," Zakuro stated.
Pai walked out of the room, right when the girls were about to enter.
"G-good morning Pai-san," Lettuce said, blushing.
"Uh huh," Pai replied before walking off.
"He's as cheerful as always, I see," Mint stated rudely and sarcastically.
"Kisshu and Shirogane-oniichan are taped to the wall, na no da!" Pudding shouted out of the room. "They have tape on their mouths, too!"
"What? How did they get up there?" Lettuce asked, walking over to Pudding.
"Pudding doesn't know, na no da!" The little monkey girl looked up at the two boys who were mumbling something. "Aww, you washed away all of Pudding's pretty pictures, na no da!"
"Mmmmmr!" Ryou and Kisshu growled.
"You know... I think we should leave them up there. It's a definite improvement," Mint stated.
"Mmmm mmh mmmrr!" The two boys mumbled angerly, eyes drawn down.
"What was that? I didn't quite catch it."
"Mmr..."
"Come on Mint-san, we can't leave them up there," Lettuce stated quietly.
"Fine," Mint sighed. She walked over to Kisshu, grabbed the tape on his mouth and jerked it off.
"YAAAOOOW!" Kisshu yelled. He now had a bright red rectangle around his mouth. "Did you have to be so rough?"
"That was for Ichigo. Oh, and I haven't even begun to be rough. Just wait till I take the tape off your torso."
"Eh! Y-you stay away from my flawless body!" Kisshu yelled.
"Ugh, I definitely liked you better with your mouth taped up."
Lettuce walked over to Ryou and slowly started to remove the tape from his mouth, careful not to harm him. Kisshu glared at Ryou for a moment before smiling as an idea flew into his head.
"Yo, Pai!" Kisshu began. Ryou's head jerked up. "Come in here for a mo..."
"Aaah! Hey Pudding, do me a favor and tickle Kisshu for me!" Ryou interrupted.
"Okey dokey, Ryou-oniichan!" Pudding hyperly replied as she pounced on Kisshu. "Tickle, tickle, tickle, na no da!"
"Hahahah! Quit it! Hahah, R-Ryou, you cheater!" Kisshu yelled, laughing the entire time.
Almost an hour later, Kisshu and Ryou were completely free from the bandage of the tape, though all in one piece was a different story. Kisshu kept complaining about how sore his arms, chest and mouth were. Mint was tempted to tape him back up, then leave.
"So, you will quit bothering Ichigo now, right?" Mint questioned Kisshu.
"Not a chance," he replied. Mint sighed, then hit Kisshu in the back of the head.
"Ow! Why you little..."
"It's almost 9:00 A.M," Zakuro stated. "I think we should start looking for the kirema anima."
"Do you want me and my friends to help?" Rei asked.
"There isn't anything you can do," Ryou stated. "Thanks for all you have done, but there's no need for further assistance."
"Well, at least let us help look around. We know this place better than any of you."
"Fine," Ryou sighed; giving in. It was too early in the morning to argue anymore.
"Where's Ichigo?" Kisshu asked.
"She's resting," Zakuro replied.
"So stay away, na no da!" Pudding shouted.
"All right... all right.., but maybe I should stay here and protect her from... um, monsters and stuff," Kisshu added with a slight laugh.
"No way! Then we would need someone to protect her from you!" Rei said, grabbing a hold of one of Kisshu's ears and pulling him outside. "You're coming with me long ears!"
"Ow! Owowowowow!"
Rei called her friends and within half-an-hour, everyone was ready, and in four groups of three. Kisshu, unwillingly, was paired with Rei and Makoto. Mint and Zakuro teamed up and Chibi Usa agreed to show them around, though they weren't really happy about this. Next was Lettuce and Ami, who had finished her test earlier that morning; Pai just decided to come a long as well. Minako and Usagi practically tackled Ryou so the poor blond boy had no choice, but to go with the two annoyingly crazy blond girls. Pudding volunteered to stay behind and watch over Ichigo.
(Rei, Kisshu and Makoto)
"Stupid girls," Kisshu whined, walking a long the sidewalk. Makoto behind him and Rei in front.
"Stupid pervert," both girls said at once.
"Quit thinking about Ichigo and keep your mind set on finding Yusouki!" Rei exclaimed.
"Got it?" Makoto asked harshly.
"Yeah, yeah... whatever," Kisshu dully replied.
(Mint, Zakuro and Chibi Usa)
"This is so embarrassing," Mint whispered to Zakuro, "Having a little kid lead us around."
"I heard that!" Chibi Usa snapped. "If you'd prefer to look on your own, then go right a head. I won't stop you, but don't blame me if you get lost."
"This is no time to be fighting," Zakuro sighed. "Lets all keep searching."
(Lettuce, Ami and Pai)
"Ami-san? What are you doing?" Lettuce questioned. Ami held up her small computer and typed a few things in.
"I'm trying to see if Yusouki is capable of being located through my CPU, but I'm not really sure what I should be searching for since this monster is not of our dimension."
"Let me have a look," Pai requested. "I worked on the transport kirema anima myself, so I should be of assistance."
"Uhm, o-kay..." Ami reached the blue computer to the tall alien and waited. Pai looked at it for a moment, to familiarize himself with this world's technology, then he quickly started typing things in. Within four point three minutes, Pai had returned Ami's CPU with the proper coordinates on it. "That was fast... wait! Is this where it is!" Pai nodded. "But this is where Minako, Usagi and Ryou are!"
(A/N: This next part is mostly happening at the same time as the above part.)
(Minako, Usagi and Ryou)
"He's so dreamy," Minako said, lost in a daze.
"Earth to Minako!" Usagi shouted, knocking on Minako's head. "This is not the time to gawk at the guys... even if he is a total hunk!"
Someone... please save me, Ryou said to himself. And here I thought the Mew Mews were bad.
Suddenly a flash of light jolted passed him and the two girls. "What was that?" Minako and Usagi exclaimed at the same time.
"I've seen that light before!" Ryou stated, jerking his head in the direction of where the light went. "That's definitely the kirema anima all right." Ryou looked over at Usagi and Minako. "Can you call your friends? They need to inform the Mew Mews right away!"
"I don't know... I think we can handle it, ne Mina?" Usagi announced, reaching for her brooch.
"Uh huh," Minako nodded in agreement as she went for her wand.
"Moooooon... Cooossmiiiccc... POWER, MAKE UP!" Usagi called out as a blue light surrounded her only to reemerge as Sailor Moon.
"Venuuuuuus... Star... POWER, MAKE UP!" Minako shouted. An orange glow appeared around her and Sailor Venus made her entrance.
"W-what just happened?" A startled Ryou asked.
"You could say we're the Mew Mews of this dimension," Sailor Venus replied.
"Except we're known as the Sailor Scouts here," Sailor Moon added. "So how-a-bout we catch this kirema thingie and get you and the others home?"
"Aw, wanna go out before you leave?" Sailor Venus asked Ryou.
"NO!" Ryou replied, shouting. All of a sudden, Pai, Lettuce and Ami popped out of no where, appearing right beside Ryou. "AAAHH!"
"AAAH!" Lettuce and Ami shrieked.
"AAAHH!" Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus screamed soon after. Pai looked around at everyone's shocked expressions.
"Aaaah," he yelled, unemotionally. Everyone stared at him. "What? Everyone else was doing it." A sweat drop appeared on the back of everyone's head as they almost fell down.
"Never mind," Ami sighed. Lettuce looked at Ryou.
"I'm so glad you're all right, Shirogane-san," Lettuce said passively. "I was worried after hearing the kirema anima was in the same area as you." Ryou gave Lettuce a kind smile while Sailor Venus and Pai growled in the background. Ami quickly transformed into Sailor Mercury after hearing their identities were revealed and Yusouki was spotted.
"Do you remember which direction the kierema anima went?" Sailor Mercury asked.
"Oh! That's right!" Ryou shouted. "Lettuce, you should transform!"
"Right! Mew mew Lettuce... metomorphoSIS!" Lettuce said aloud. Now Mew Lettuce was here!
Ryou pointed the direction out and he, the girls and Pai started to search the area. Before long, Yusouki made its appearance and it seemed ready for a fight
"Uhm, Pai-san?" Lettuce began. "Can't you control it?"
"Even though I helped generate the creature, I can not manage it at it's current state," Pai replied calmly. Yusouki started to shoot its attacks at Lettuce and the three scouts. They all were quickly knocked down, but Lettuce jumped up and shouted, "Ribbon Lettuce... RUSH!" but the kirema anima transported out of the way and Lettuce's attack hit head on into a building. Mercury hurriedly shot her bubbles around Yusouki, but it seemed to do nothing but make it madder. It started to launch attacks in every possible direction. Venus threw her 'love-me-chain' around one of the beast's huge metal arms, but to everyone's dismay, it broke instantly. The kirema anima had too much energy left for Sailor Moon's wand to have any effect. They were running out of options...
