Chapter 8

'A Strange New Dimension...'

As the dimension portal opened, Pai teleported out before the others. Landing on a flat area, he noticed most of the land was covered with grass and forests. All the roads he could see were made of dirt. What an abnormal place, he said to himself. It feels as if it's not as polluted... unlike the other dimensions.

All of a sudden, Mew Lettuce was flung out of the dimension portal. A huge tree stopped her from going further; Pai only a few feet away from her. Soon after, Ryou was thrown from the portal. Like everyone else, he couldn't control where he went, finding himself on top of Lettuce, their lips tightly connected.

Both Lettuce and Ryou's eyes grew wide and the green haired girl's face erupted red. Her heart almost popping out of her chest. Pai stood with his arms crossed when all of a sudden his eye twitched. Walking over to the two humans, Pai grabbed a hold of Ryou's shirt collar and threw him off Lettuce. The tall alien walked a few yards away and stopped with his back turned toward Ryou and Lettuce.

What's his problem? Ryou wondered. It was an accident. Lettuce sat up, face still dark red and eyes still wide. "Lettuce, are you all right?" Ryou asked.

"Uh! Umm, uh... Yeah!" Lettuce stuttered. "It's just... uh... I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

"Eh? Don't worry about it. I should be the one to apologize."

Just as Lettuce was about to apologize again, despite what Ryou had said, the blond boys chest caught her attention... and he noticed. "Uhm," He begun, not knowing what to say. Lettuce realized she was staring and that he had no idea why.

"Uh! It's not what it looks like!" She quickly said, now feeling quite hot. "I-it's just... umm... y-you were stabbed th-there, but..."

Ryou looked down at his chest and noticed all evidence of him ever being stabbed were gone. His shirt was cut-free and there were no signs of even the faintest blood stain. Ryou quickly grabbed his shirt and pulled it off; looking for any sign of a scar. Lettuce's face, which had finally gained its normal color back, erupted red once more.

"Hey Lettuce, you don't see a scar do you?" Ryou asked, not looking up.

"N-n-n-nuh... uhh!" Lettuce stuttered before fainting from embarrassment.

"Idiot!" Pai scolded. "Put your shirt back on!"

Ryou sat there confused for a moment before throwing his shirt back on. What I do?

"What happened to her?" a small fox boy asked, walking over to Lettuce. An even smaller cat like animal followed him. Ryou just stared wide-eyed. "What? Haven't you ever seen a demon before?"

"N-o, just aliens," Ryou said.

"You're not from around here, are ya?" Ryou shook his head 'no'. "Hey, just like Kagome! My name's Shippo and my friend here is called Kilala!" Kilala mewed cutely. "Who are you?"

"Shirogane Ryou... and this girls name is Lettuce. The guy over there is Pai."

"Yay! Nice to meet ya! Want some candy?" Shippo asked, holding up some suckers.

Umm, no." Shippo stuck the suckers back into his pocket.

"Okay! Will you play with me? All my other friends said they had things to do... except good ol' Kilala!"

"You would definitely get along with Pudding," Ryou sighed. "But we're kind of busy ourselves. We were separated from our friends."

"Let me help! Pleassssssse!"

"Uhm... okay?" O.o

In another area, Mint and Zakuro were thrown out of the dimension portal. They ended up at the edge of a forest.

"Onee-sama!" Mint shouted happily, running over to Zakuro. "I'm so glad you're here! I didn't want to get stuck with one of those idiots again." Both girls stood straight up and looked around at the new area. "This is... different," Mint stated. Zakuro nodded in agreement. All of a sudden, a man with black hair and blue eyes came up behind the two girls.

"Well, what are two lovely ladies like yourselves doing in a place like this?" Miroku asked as he stroked their butts. Instantly, they both swung around, slamming their hands into his face; giving him a matching set of red hand prints on both his cheeks. "OW!"

"PERVERT!" Zakuro and Mint shouted.

"Sorry... Whenever I see a pretty girl, I can't control myself."

"You're disgusting!" Mint said, wide eyes. Now quite annoyed.

"Ah! Mint... Zakuro!" Minako said, appearing from deep within the forest. "It's good to see familiar fa..." Miroku ran up to the blond girl and grabbed her hands. "Uummm, can I help you?" A sweat drop appeared on the back of Zakuro and Mint's heads.

"Perhaps you could," Miroku begun. "You see, I have this tragic problem that will eventually kill me and I am in great need of a son to carry on my mission when I am gone. Would you do me the honor of bearing my child?"

"EH! You sicko!" Minako yelled before forcefully slapping the black haired boy. He instantly fell backwards, spiral eyed. "That shut him up."

"Aah!" Ichigo screamed as she fell out of the portal. She landed at the base of a hill. Just as she sit up, Kisshu fell out of the portal, too, landing on top of the cat-ear girl. Ichigo's eyes grew wide as she blushed, but she was quite confused. Her eyes moved down to Kisshu's chest and before Ichigo realized what she was doing, she had switched places with Kisshu, pinning him down and rolling his shirt up to his mid chest.

"I-Ichigo?" Kisshu questioned, startled.

"It's gone..." she said in a voice too quiet for Kisshu to hear.

"Am I too much for you to resist?" Kisshu joked, getting his mischievousness back.

"WAAAHHH!" Ichigo quickly jumped away. "N-no, t-that's not it, nya!" Kisshu sat up, not bothering to fix his shirt and stared at the pink haired girl slyly. "It's... well uh, what happened to your, uh, injury?"

"Huh?" Kisshu looked down at his chest. "Hey, it is gone! I guess it's safe to say we traveled through time."

"Huh?" Ichigo asked dumbly. Kisshu then looked back up at Ichigo.

"Oh, you didn't know didja?"

"What? What? WHAT?" Ichigo asked, listening closely.

"Umm, I don't think I'll tell ya," Kisshu said with a smile as he watched the cat girl fall down, Ichigo quickly jumped back up and walked closer to Kisshu, her eyes drawn down.

"Why not, nya?"

"Because, I don't feel like it... bu-t, I might consider tellin' ya if ya give me a kiss... right here," the green haired alien said cheerfully, placing a finger on his lips.

"Neh... NO! I don't wanna know that bad!" Ichigo, whose face was bright red, turned away from Kisshu and started walking off.

"Wait, Koneko-chan! How 'bout a kiss on the cheek then?"

"NO!"

"Aww," Kisshu groaned. He scratched his head, then looked up at the annoyed cat girl.

Jeez... she always has to make this hard on me, doesn't she?

"Uhm... Kisshu?" Ichigo said as she stopped walking, though not turning around.

"Yeah?"

"I uh... just wanted to tha... thank you... for saving... me. I was so worried when I saw you... and Shirogane-san hurting like you were. I thought you two were going to die, but I don't remember anything after that." Ichigo turned her head around, just enough to look at Kisshu, and lightly smile. Her eyes looked hurt and showed signs of tears while her cheeks were a faded red. Kisshu's eyes grew wide.

"I-chi-go..." Just tell her you big moron. Aww, that means I won't get my kiss though... oh well, Kisshu sighed, then teleported over to Ichigo and hugged her as he nipped at her neck.

"Ki-Kisshu?" She questioned, shocked.

"Don't worry. I won't kiss you any more than I just did. At least for now. If you really wanna know, then I'll tell ya. Nothin' very special really. It's just... we must have gone through time."

"Through... time?"

"Uh-huh... Remember, my original intention was to go back in time and not through dimensions."

"So all we did this time was go through time? What does that have to do with your injuries disappearing? And Kisshu? I'm allowing you to hold me.., but not 'THERE'!"

Kisshu whimpered for a little bit, but obediently moved his left hand down and wrapped it back around her stomach. He sighed, then answered her questions.

"This place doesn't look like Tokyo so I think we went through a dimension and time. Either way, since time has technically moved... Our wounds have healed, but our bodies can't be physically aged because we are moving too fast. Clothes... wounds... cuts, stuff like that are all that would be affected. One more thing. If I would have died, I would have stayed dead," Kisshu finished, now pulling away form Ichigo. The cat girl turned around and looked at Kisshu.

"I'm surprised, Kisshu. You actually sounded really smart," Ichigo giggled.

"Oh! Really?"

Great... I shouldn't have flattered him!

"How 'bout you reward me with a kiss?"

Thought so... "No and it was just one compliment so don't get used to it."

"Aww."

"One more thing. Did we travel to the past or future?" Ichigo asked. Kisshu eyed Ichigo's clothes mischievously.

"Heh, to the past," he replied. "Which I'm sorry to say."

"Hmm, why?"

"Because, with how bad your dress was cut up, if we went to the future, you wouldn't be wearing anything, but now it doesn't even have a single rip at all."

"KISSHU!"

In a dark, desolate area, another portal opened and Yusouki drifted out. It seemed content with the quiet surroundings, but that didn't last long. Within minutes of its arrival, Mew Pudding and Chibi Moon were thrown into the same area. The kirema anima stopped and turned around. Pudding and Chibi Moon sat up and stared nervously.

"Yusouki-chan! Hiya, na no da!" Pudding yelped, jumping all over the kirema anima. "Thankies for taking Pudding and the others to all those neat places, na no da! This place is kinda scary though. Could Yusouki-chan take us all home soon?"

Is she brain dead? Chibi Moon wondered. Yusouki backed away and the monkey girl followed it.

"Take us home, na no da!"

"What's going on here?" A boy with silver hair, golden eyes and dog ears asked. He had his sword drawn and resting on his shoulder. It looked like he had just come from a battle.

"Ah! Wow!" Chibi Moon exclaimed. "Cool ears!" Forgetting all about Yusouki, the small pink haired girl tackled the dog boy and rubbed his ears. "They're so soft!"

"Wha... wha?" InuYasha stuttered.

"Pudding wants to feel! Pudding wants to feel!" the small monkey girl shouted.

"No! And you get off me, ya lil brat!" InuYasha shoved Chibi Moon off him and stood up. He glanced over at Yusouki.

"What kind of demon is that?"

"Yusouki's no demon... Yusouki's a kirema anima created by aliens to destroy Pudding and friends," the small blond girl said in a hyper voice.

"And you're okay with this?"

"YES!"

"O-kay... I think I'll be going then."

"Wait..," Chibi Moon and Pudding shouted in unison, but it was too late. InuYasha had left.

"We didn't get to ask if he knew where our friends were," Chibi Moon stated.

"Oh well, na no da," Pudding added. "Hey.. lets go bug Yusouki-chan s'more!"

"You are one weird girl."

Kisshu reached into his pocket and pulled out a clear bottle that contained a glowing yellow light. He was about to place it back in his pocket when Ichigo noticed.

"What's that?" the cat girl asked as she and Kisshu continued walking down a dirt path road.

"Uhm, it's some energy I captured from Yusouki when we first were transported," Kisshu answered. "I thought it might come in handy."

"How so?"

"I don't really know right now," Kisshu started, now lifting the small bottle up towards the sun, "but I had a feeling, ya know?" Kisshu gently placed the delicate bottle of energy back into his pocket. Looking ahead, he noticed a town. "Hey, look up there!"

"Hmm?" Ichigo commenced. "Ah, a village? Maybe some of the others are there, nya!"

The pink haired cat girl raced down the hill, which was over hanged with trees, that led to the village. As she walked into the small town, Kisshu teleported beside her. A lot of people were outside working in the fields while little children ran around with their friends and played tag. Some of the slightly older kids were down at the stream throwing stones across the thin body of water.

"What a weird place," Kisshu stated, placing his right hand on his hip as he looked up and down the area. "I hope the people aren't the same way."

"Even so, we should ask if they've seen any of the Mew Mews," Ichigo stated. Running up to the three men, who looked around thirty years old, Ichigo started to ask them about the Mew Mews. The three men stopped hoeing and looked up.

"I'm sorry to bother you while you're working, but I really need some help locating a few friends. I was just wondering if you've seen anyone strange around her lately?"

"Look at those fuzzy ears and that long black tail," one of the villagers noted. "How strange."

"Her outfit is quite bizarre, too," another villager stated.

"She has to be a demon!" The third villager concluded. Kisshu then teleported over to see what was taking Ichigo so long only to receive frightful glares from the men. "Another demon! Look at those pointed ears and golden eyes."

"Eh? Demon... where?" Ichigo exclaimed.

"Uh, Ichigo? Could you explain what's going on?" Kisshu asked.

"I'm not sure myself, nya! It's starting to freak me out!"

"Look at how they converse..," another villager called out. "They must be mates!"

"What the h..," Ichigo begun, clenching her fist.

"Uhm, Ichigo... I don't think it's smart to fight with them," Kisshu interrupted. "Maybe we should leave."

"Demons aren't aloud in out village!" The first villager shouted. "Everyone, get 'em!"

Kisshu and Ichigo gasped as all the people in the tiny town started chasing them with garden tools. "Whadja do, Ichigo?" Kisshu shouted.

"I don't know, but I think they think we're demons!" Ichigo shouted back.

"Oh? Ya think do ya?"

"Get 'em! Get 'em! Get 'em!" Random villagers shouted, still hot on the poor cat girl and aliens boy's trail.

"Waaauuuuh!" both Ichigo and Kisshu shouted, not slowing down.
