A BLACK STORY, CHAPTER THREE
"Transforming in feelings"
"Oh, it feels so good to be back." Black sighed happily and started to float in the air. She turned around and made a hand movement against the Mew Mew's.
The girls screamed as they felt a huge pressure of energy against their shoulders.
They started to get down on their knees, trying to fight back and to stand up, but they couldn't.
Black didn't have to focus so much at keeping the energy on the Mew Mew's shoulders. She had power enough to relax and turn back to Ryou.
"And it feels even better now, when Ryani's not bothering me." She said with a grin.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Ryou asked seriously. Black floated down against him, without landing on the floor.
"She's satisfied. And she doesn't complain inside my head about not being able to see you." Black answered.
"That doesn't mean anything."
"Oh no?" Black asked and floated closer to whisper something in his ear. "All she wanted to do was kiss you a little. She never planned to fight against me, Kisshu, or any of the others. She never planned to fight for you."
Ryou shrugged and pushed Black away.
"You have no idea of who you're talking about."
Black grinned and floated back up to Kisshu. "Yes I do."
She turned against Kisshu. "I got to thank you for getting Ryani out of my head." She said and got closer to him.
Kisshu grinned. "You're welcome."
"You asked before…" Black started and took his hand, making Ryou and Anani shrug. "…If you could get a kiss for helping me."
Black ignored that she felt some kind of pain in her chest, and dragged Kisshu closer to her…
Before Kisshu got to say anything, Black kissed him.
"No! Stop! Leave him alone!" Anani exclaimed and was about to fly up to them. But Black made a quick hand movement against her, and Anani flew in to the wall. As Anani's body was pressed against the wall, Black kissed Kisshu harder as she suddenly heard a familiar voice in her head.
"What the heck are you doing, you slut!" It was Ryani's voice. "How can you do this! You don't feel anything for Kisshu! Besides…"
Black slightly opened her eyes.
"Besides… I love Ryou."
Black's eyes widened and her lips left Kisshu's.
"Y-you what?" Black said surprised.
"You heard me. I love him. He knows that, you know that."
"Black?" Kisshu said meaning.
Black turned back against Ryou, before floating down to him. She never heard Ryani say those words right out like that and she was in a bit of a chock.
"Ryou, do you… Do you love Ryani? Seriously?" Black asked. She already knew that he did, she heard him herself when he said it for the first time.
Ryou smiled a little, noticing that Black reminded him of Ryani so badly. "Of course I do." He said and run his fingers through Black's hair.
Black's cheeks got red and she quickly floated away from him.
"D-don't treat me like I was Ryani." She said quietly.
She suddenly heard a scream from Mew Ichigo, and she turned around.
The Mew Mew's where hurt and it was almost like the floor could break to a million pieces underneath them.
She felt that Ryani got extremely sad and hurt to see them like that, and her eyes got shiny.
Kisshu saw what was happening. And he didn't like it. "Black, snap out of it!" He exclaimed and roughly grabbed her arm.
"I… I can't" Black answered with dark eyes.
"Yes you can, damn it! Don't listen to Ryani! You have control now! Keep it!"
"I don't have to listen to her. I can't hear her voice anymore…" Black said and looked up at Kisshu. "But I can still feel her."
Black reluctantly made a hand movement against Ryani's friends and the pressure stopped. She did the same to Anani, who fell down to the floor…
"Black?" Ryou said surprised with a quiet voice…
"Why are you doing this?" Kisshu asked. "Your transformation is almost done, and still you listen to what Ryani says and feels?"
"I'm not listening to anything, Kisshu. At some points, Ryani still has control over her body. My body." Black looked at the Mew Mew's. They seemed to have fainted and their Mew-Suits where dusty and tattered…
"Kisshu!" A hurt voice suddenly cried…
Before Kisshu could blink, Anani appeared in front of him. "You Bastard!" She exclaimed as shiny tears started to take form in her dark-green eyes.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Kisshu asked. Calmly but still surprised.
"What do you think!" Anani said with her hands on her sides. "Haven't you even noticed!"
"Noticed what? What are you talking about?" Kisshu asked.
Anani growled and suddenly grabbed his ear. "You come with me, you creep!" …And they disappeared.
Black blinked surprised and were just about to follow them, when she suddenly felt someone grab her arm…
She didn't need to turn around, she already knew who it was…
Black looked down at the floor. "You can't stop me. I'm an Alien and you're just a human." She knew that it was Ryou that had grabbed her arm.
"You can't look at the situation like that, Black." Ryou said, dragging Black down to the floor. "If it was that simple, you would've killed all of us already. It's not about who you are, it's about how you feel."
Black closed her eyes tightly. "D-don't say stuff like that."
"Why not?"
"Just don't."
Black felt Ryou's hand slide down her arm and hold her hand… "Is it because of that you know I'm right? That yours and Ryani's feelings makes you do things that you wouldn't have done if you were an Alien to 100?" Ryou asked.
"Stop…" Black said quietly.
"Do you wish you were simply an Alien… Or do you really want to be Ryani?"
"I said STOP!" Black cried and quickly pulled away from him. "Stop talking about what I want! Stop talking about how I feel and stop talking about Ryani!"
Ryou didn't say anything. He just looked at her, seriously.
"I don't want what Ryani wants! And I don't want to have what she has! I'm not Ryani and I don't want to be her! You think you know so much about me and you don't!"
"Where is the Black who came to my room with hope and dreams?"
"Shut up! I'm not like that! Ryani just…! Ryani felt…! She…" Black sank down on her knees and buried her face in her hands… "It's her fault." She whispered as the tears came… Black's tears…
"You bastard!" Anani exclaimed. She were standing in the spaceship-garden together with Kisshu.
"Why are you so angry all of a sudden?"
"Why do you think I'm angry for! That Black kissed you, for crying out loud!"
Kisshu blinked. "So?"
Anani growled and clenched her hands tightly.
"Are you kidding, Anani? Does it bother you? Come on!"
"Don't you start with your "Come on"-stuff! I can't see that you haven't noticed anything through all of these years!" Anani said furiously.
"What is there to notice?" Kisshu asked. "Just stop yelling at me and tell me what the heck is your problem."
Anani's cheeks got red. "I… I don't have a problem with anything…! I just can't believe you haven't noticed anything… A-about how I feel."
"About how you feel? Feel about what?"
"About you."
Kisshu shrugged. "Well… We're… Friends, right?" He said, but his voice didn't sound so sure.
"Oh, Kisshu…" Anani said quietly and walked closer to him. "Ever since I met you… When we were just about three years old… I felt something else than just… Friendship." She said shyly.
"You better think of me as a brother or something." Kisshu said with a half-quiet voice.
Anani looked sad. True sadness. That wasn't what she felt for him at all. "Y-you… See me as a… Sister?"
"Well…" Kisshu thought for a few moments. "I guess not, but…"
"But if I tell you about what I feel… You wouldn't feel the same?" Anani carefully asked.
Kisshu sighed. "You know that depends on what you're talking about."
"Right, of course."
"Tell me then. At first you were angry at me when I was with Ichigo (I don't know why) and now your irritated because of Black…?" Kisshu said as he thought about what Anani would say…
Anani started to build up courage inside… "I Love You, Kisshu."
The Mew Mew's transformed back into their normal clothes… Black was crying lightly, she was so confused…
Ryou softly and carefully laid his hand on her shoulder as he got down on his knees next to her.
"Ryou… I'm so confused… I have no idea of what's happening inside of me… Sometimes I have all control… And sometimes… Not." Black said with a quiet voice. "But it almost feels like she's gone now… I only heard and felt her strongly when I kissed Kisshu."
Ryou sighed…
"By the way, I'm sorry." Black suddenly said. "Well, Ryani's sorry. For the kiss."
She was about to say something else when Ryou suddenly put his arms around her. "It's okay… Tell her… That it wasn't her fault…"
Black closed her eyes tightly as one of her tears slowly landed on his hand. "And… Tell her that I love her."
Black's eyes widened as they suddenly changed shape.
Ryou blinked surprised as Black started to glow…
"Black, what…"
"I love you too." A familiar voice interrupted.
Her dark hair started to shine in a red color and her clothes changed, together with the tone of her skin…
The Mew Mew's started to wake up as their wounds were healed together with the greatest light from the girl in Ryou's arms…
They sat up and looked patiently at Ryou as the light started to faint…
At last… Ryani was the one who relaxed in Ryou's arms. Almost as if she was sleeping…
"Ryani…" Ichigo said quietly and she started to stand up.
The other girls followed her example as Ryani slowly started to open her eyes…
She looked surprised up at Ryou before she smiled a little. "Hi…"
"Hi, Ryani… Nice cleavage by the way." Ryou said with a small grin.
Ryani blushed darkly and her tiger-ears popped out as she pulled up her dress a little, even though she didn't show so much. "Y-you pervert."
That's when Keiichiro interrupted. "May I help you up, princess?" He asked.
"Em… Sure." Ryani took his hand and slowly stood up.
She turned to Ryou and held out her hand to him. "You too. I don't want you looking up under my dress." She said with just a little grin.
Ryou let her help him up. "Why do you think I would do such a thing?"
"Ryani!" The other girls quickly walked up to them.
"Guys! I'm so sorry for what Black did…! Are you ok?" Ryani asked and looked at each and one of them.
"Sure, we're fine! There are worse things than being pressed down to the floor by dark energy." Ichigo answered with a playful smile.
Ryani smiled apologizing. "Yeah, sure…"
"But how about you, Ryani?" Minto asked. "Are you ok?"
Ryani blinked. "Well… I'm fine, don't worry. Just a little surprised about that Black kissed Kisshu, that's all."
She heard a small "bastard…!" coming from Ryou and she smiled a little.
"She did?" Ichigo suddenly asked.
"Eh… Yeah, Ichigo. Didn't you see her?" Ryani asked.
"We couldn't." Retasu said. "After the pressure from Black stopped, we fainted."
"Oh? Well, I'm really sorry. Again."
A while later, when they had cleaned up a little and then walked home, Ryani and Ryou were alone at the Café. Well, except Keiichiro then.
Ryani sighed and sat down on one of the chairs.
She, Keiichiro and Ryou had to clean up more than the others because of that the girls had to go home, so their parents (and siblings) won't worry…
Ryou sighed too and moved a chair closer to Ryani before sitting down at it.
"We're done, I guess." He said.
"Yeah, finally…!"
"So… What do you say? Let's go up and get some sleep, right?" Ryou asked and stood up.
"Ye…" Ryani interrupted herself when she noticed what he just said. "Wait a second…! You mean sleeping in your bed? T-together?" She asked and blushed darkly before standing up.
Ryou shrugged his shoulder. "Yes…?"
"B-but…"
"Listen here, Ryani. Where did you think you were sleeping? I'm not letting you sleep in Keiichiro's bed, if that is what you thought." Ryou said at took Ryani's hand before walking to the stairs.
"Wait a little, Ryou…!" Ryani suddenly said as they were standing in front of Ryou's bedroom door…
"What?"
"I just wanted to now… What I'm going to sleep in…?" Ryani asked shyly.
Ryou thought for a few moments. "Well, I have a shirt that you can borrow."
Before Ryani could answer, Ryou dragged her into his bedroom…
Ryani looked around in Ryou's lonely room. "Have your room always been this… I'm sorry, empty?" She suddenly asked and turned to Ryou.
"Well yeah. Except… When you're here, I guess." Ryou answered and gave Ryani a white shirt with buttons on the front…
Ryani smiled as she blushed a little. Then she noticed the shirt in her hands… "Oh, right. Ryou, could you get out? So I can change, you know."
Ryou kissed her cheek. "I promise I won't peek." He said and made a small grin.
"Right, I don't want to take any chances." Ryani said with a small laugh.
"Meaning…?"
"Get out."
"Fine, I'll go. Tell me when you're ready." Ryou said with a light sigh before leaving his bedroom.
A while later, Ryani let him come back in if he promised to keep his eyes closed so she could have time to get in under the cover. The shirt wasn't really as long as she thought…
"Are you done, or what?" Ryou asked, still with a little smile.
"D-don't say it like that…!" Ryani answered shyly. "…And yes, I am." She added quietly.
Ryou let out a small laugh as he saw Ryani cover herself with his blanket. "You're too much sometimes, you know that?"
"Wh-what? It's not my fault that you wear small shirts…!"
Ryou laughed quietly for at few seconds as he unzipped his black vest.
Ryani blushed darkly and quickly dragged the cover over her head. She would feel kind of bad if she peeked at Ryou as he changed into his pajamas, even though the idea had crossed her mind sometimes…
"Hey, you…" Ryou pulled down the cover a little so he at least could see Ryani's face.
Ryani's heart made a volt and she blushed darkly.
Ryou smiled and kissed her neck as he nestled down in bed next to her…
He put his arms around her and held her close to himself…
Ryani felt her heart beat faster and she was still blushing darkly… But when Ryou softly caressed her back, she relaxed and closed her eyes…
Ryou carefully raised her head with his finger under her chin. Ryani didn't open her eyes, she just smiled and let him kiss her good night…
MewZyamu: And that's the end of chapter 3: "Transforming in Feelings"…! Ok, I know it didn't contain so much important stuff. I like the other chapters better but I like the scene with Anani and Kisshu (she finally got her feelings out!) and I also liked, no, loved that Ryani and Ryou got to sleep in the same bed! XD
(And to all of those who wanted that it would happen more with Ryani and Ryou in the end scene, contact me! -)
I was supposed to have a big fighting-scene with Kisshu, but fighting-scenes are soooo hard (especially in English since I'm swedish) besides, I wanted the "I Love You"-scene with Anani. -
Quite a long chapter, but I worked quite long too. --;; Right now, it's 00:46 at night, here in Sweden. yawn Soooo tired. I'm gonna do just like Ryani and Ryou, and sleep!
And I really have to think of what's going to happen in chapter 4! (be free to send in ideas on that!)
See ya! -
RyanixRyou 4ever!
