Chapter 4 " The Search For Retasu"
Retasu's eyes widened as she looked at the 12 year old blond and turned strawberry red as she stood up and ran into the back room and changed quickly. Retasu then rushed out of the café as everyone stood up in shock as they heard the back door slam behind their friend. The café fell silent as they heard raindrops begin to fall on the roof of the café as a storm began.
-----
"Oh my gosh I can't believe you did that Purin! You embarrassed Retasu and now she is gone! We have to go out and look for her it is raining out and we don't know where she went!" Ichigo said worried as she grabbed a raincoat and didn't even change before running off to go and look for Retasu.
"Ichigo is right come on everybody we have to looked for Retasu!" Masaya replied as he ran off to look for Retasu.
The whole group went off in the rain as Ryou got drenched looking for Retasu. Hours passed as 9 o'clock came around and Mr. and Mrs. Midorikawa joined the search for Retasu. Ryou sat down as the rain beat down on his blond hair as he sighed an looked at the ground.
>Ryou's POV
Retasu where on Earth did you run off to? We have been searching for hours and no one can find you. I don't understand Purin was only making a joke and you have to go and disappear on us. I am so worried Retasu I hope we find you soon.
>End Ryou's POV
-----
Isn't anyone trying to find me? Won't somebody come take me home, It's a damn cold night, Trying to figure out this life, Wont you take me by the hand, take me somewhere new
The rain fell on the lonely green haired teen as she ran around the town. Retasu had never been so embarrassed in her life. Tears fell from Retasu's bright sapphire eyes as she stopped running and stood on a bridge.
>Retasu's POV
I just cannot believe Purin-chan said that in front of Shirogane-san. How will I be able to talk to Shirogane-san now? He is probably trying to find a way to not have to talk to me. I wish that I could just tell him and not care about what he thought. Oh Retasu what are you going to do?
>End Retasu's POV
Retasu continued to walk around when she noticed that she was completely lost. Fear fell upon her as she noticed everything seemed dark and cold. Retasu tried to keep warm as she rung her sweater out and watched the rain continue to fall.
Hours passed as it seemed Retasu only manages to get more lost. Nothing seemed familiar anymore as she sat down on a bench and looked at the ground. "Now what are you going to do? You are completely lost and Shirogane-san probably won't talk to you because he knows you have feelings for him." Retasu buried her face in her hands and cried.
-----
Midnight came around as everyone met back at the café. Ichigo yawned as she leaned her soaked head on Masaya. Keiichiro came out of the back with some towels as he handed them out to everyone. Now the search party included: Keiichiro, Ryou, Mr. Midorikawa, Mrs. Midorikawa, Ichigo, Minto, Purin, Zakuro, and Masaya. They were all drenched as they worried for Retasu.
Mrs. Midorikawa got off her cellular phone as she sighed and looked at everyone. "Retasu hasn't returned home yet." Tears fell from her face. "I don't understand Retasu should have come hoe by now."
"Gomen this is all my fault. I was making fun of Retasu-oneechan and she ran off na no da." Purin apologized as she wrapped herself in a towel and frowned. "I feel so horrible, I was only joking no da."
Zakuro placed her hand upon Purin's shoulder as she looked at the young blond. "Don't blame yourself Purin. Retasu has been very stressed lately and she just couldn't stand being around people. She'll come home soon and thing will be fine just you see."
Minto nodded at the twelve year old. "Oneesama is correct Retasu will be fine."
"Arigatou Zakuro-oneechan and Minto-oneechan. I still feel bad though." Replied Purin while she looked at the ground.
Masaya looked over his shoulder and noticed that Ichigo had fallen asleep as he smiled and looked at everyone. "I think we have done all the looking that we can tonight. Besides we have school in the morning. I'll carry Ichigo home and then if Retasu isn't found by the time school gets out tomorrow Ichigo and I will help search for her."
"Aoyama is right you, you girls and him have school in the morning. All of you should head home and get your rest." Keiichiro suggested.
"That is fine with me; however, if you find Retasu please inform me." Zakuro stated as she went into the back and left after she changed.
Minto yawned. "I'm with Oneesama. You have my telephone number please call if you find Retasu." Minto replied walking into the back to change.
Masaya gently picked up Ichigo as Keiichiro put a blanket over Ichigo so she wouldn't be cold. Purin left the café after changing leaving Keiichiro, Ryou, Mr. and Mrs. Midorikawa in the café.
"It is too late I think we should stop the search for tonight, but we can continue in the morning." Mr. Midorikawa stated.
"You go home and get some rest, I'll continue looking for Retasu." Ryou replied as he rushed out the out the door with his bike helmet. Ryou then jumped on his motorbike as he went off in search of Retasu.
Isn't anyone trying to find me? Won't somebody come take me home, It's a damn cold night, Trying to figure out this life, Wont you take me by the hand, take me somewhere new

A truck drove passed Retasu causing muddy water to splash all over her. Retasu couldn't stop crying as she thought about the events that had taken place earlier. Everything had been just fine when they were working. Although now that Purin had told Retasu's secret, she couldn't stop thinking about how different her life was going to be. The young green haired fifteen year old was very shy when it comes to her feeling, especially feelings of love.
The rain seemed to lighten as Retasu sat on the curb of the road. None of the girl's surroundings seemed familiar and she had never gotten lost before. Everything was so confusing to Retasu and she didn't even pay much attention to the world around her.
>Retasu's POV
Everything is just so pointless now. I don't know what I'm going to do. Just earlier today I was only hoping I could see Shirogane-san soon, but now…Now I don't want to see anyone. Why do things have to be like this?
>End Retasu's POV
-----
Ryou had looked everywhere he could think of as he let out a small sigh and looked to the sky as if seeking an answer. Retasu had been missing for hours and no one knew where she could be or if she was alright. Worry swelled up inside Ryou's stomach as he was about to vomit. "Retasu where on earth are you? I'm so worried please be alright."
Ryou yawned as he stopped his motorbike and rubbed his eyes. Exhaustion was catching up with him, but he wouldn't allow himself to stop searching for Retasu. The motorbike started up once again as the search continued.
-----
A huge explosion erupted as Retasu was thrown into a near by vending machine. The girl stood up slowly revealing a trickle of blood down her chin. Her blue eyes widened as she looked at a pair of familiar golden eyes. "Kisshu."
"Well look what I've stumbled upon, a depressed and washed up mew." The alien snickered as he looked at the drenched and now confused teenager.
"Kisshu what in the world are you doing here? Aren't you living well?" Retasu asked friendly as she looked up at him.
Kisshu walked up to Retasu as he grabbed onto her throat and grinned wickedly. "I'm here to finish what I started 2 years ago."
Retasu was trying to gasp for air as she looked at Kisshu. "Can't breath…" The world around Retasu seemed to fade and her body fell numb. She knew that she had to do something otherwise she would meet her death. Fear consumed Retasu as she used the last of her strength to kick Kisshu right below the belt.
Instantly Retasu fell to the ground gasping for air as she looked up at the paining Kisshu. Retasu could feel her old powers inside as she stood up. Kisshu had recovered from when Retasu had kicked him as he glared at her. "That was a very gutsy move little mew." Kisshu then summoned his swords as he smiled at Retasu. "I think that your time is up." Kisshu walked towards Retasu with a huge grin on his face.
Retasu's blue eyes widened as she watched the alien come closer and closer to her. Confusion raced inside her head as Kisshu enclosed in on her. The last time Retasu had seen Kisshu they had just defeated Deep Blue. In her kind she just could not understand why Kisshu wanted to kill her. So there Retasu sat on her knees and totally stiff as Kisshu looked at her. Kisshu then grinned as he rose up one of his swords and swung it at Retasu leaving her in shock and consumed with fear.
Isn't anyone trying to find me? Won't somebody come take me home, It's a damn cold night, Trying to figure out this life, Wont you take me by the hand, take me somewhere new
A/N: What in the name of Kami is wrong with Kisshu? Why has he turned on our poor Retasu? Is he really going to kill her? Hmmm I'm so evil I'm going to leave you guys hanging hopefully I get some good reviews!
