Against each other
Disclaimer: Don't own anything, so don't sue.
The Second Part in my Tokyo Mew Mew trilogy. The First part is called 'trapped Is Serenity' Read it first, or you really won't understand piss about this one.
Okay, this fic will answer lots of questions not answered in the first part. Like I didn't put this fic at any exact point at first, but I've realized that with different conversations I'll have to point out what exactly happened. Everything in books 1-4 happened. Some things in book 5 happened, some didn't, and some things in book 6 will happen, when others won't.
This is AU, as you probably noticed, but I hope it's still readable. Give me at least two weeks after each chapter before you start nagging about updates… I got four other stories to update too.

Chapter 1
"So I can finally go home…?" Ichigo said in a sullen voice. Kish felt the same. Ichigo didn't quite know how to feel. These last few days with Kish in the ship had been… wow. They hadn't done anything except for kisses and hugs, and Ichigo was glad it was the way of his people. She liked Kish, she really did… But she couldn't help but to think she was using him. She was fond of Kish, but… She loved Masaya. She hesitated when Kish kissed her, and had once even pushed him away.
She had seen the hurt in his eyes. Every time she hesitated, and that way she knew that he knew. They were never going to be a couple, not as long as Masaya was still on earth, and ready to try with Ichigo. They would be enemies on earth again.
Masaya was normal. Masaya was sweet. Masaya was human. Masaya was simple. Masaya was her first love. Masaya liked her. But Masaya wasn't Kish.
He didn't have the same passion burning in his eyes that Kish had. He didn't have the same smile that showed his pointy teeth. Masaya eyes were flat, and he carried almost always the same expression. But Masaya was normal. Masaya was easy to be with. Kish meant trouble.
And her friend's would never accept Kish.
And when Ichigo realized that, it was over. And Kish knew. He took the blow with honour, though to Kish it felt as if his heart was ripped from his chest. And Ichigo would felt the same. Soon, when the Deep Blue would awaken. Kish had known who the blue knight was the moment he set his eyes on him. And he knew that Masaya really didn't know.
He didn't know that soon his memories would return, and the Deep Blue would be ready to rule the earth once more. And what Masaya didn't know, Deep Blue didn't know.
"Yes." Kish answered as he admired his handwork. The blue crystal they had fetched from the mother ship had replaced the one Eoin had stolen, and after working some wood-magic on the protection magic's everything once more worked as it should. And he could teleport Ichigo to earth again. Kish expression turned grave as he turned to Ichigo who was standing nearby.
"And you must promise me something, Ichigo." Ichigo nodded, biting her lip.
"Sure Kish. What is it?"
"You must promise me you won't tell anything you've seen or heard on this ship to Masaya." Kish almost spat out the name.
"But Kish…" She started, only to be stopped by Kish's impatient shaking of head.
"No, Kitten." He denied, and then looked at her pleadingly. "I have my reasons. I know something you know, and that is why you must listen to me. You cannot tell Masaya that I am royalty. You cannot tell him my last name, and you should even remain from mentioning my birth name. And whatever you do, you must always make it seem to both Masaya and the blue knight that I battle worse than I've actually done in the past, got it?" Ichigo hesitantly nodded.
"But what has anything to do with the Blue Knight?" She asked.
"Everything my Kitten, everything."

Keiichiro and Ryo were talking behind the bar disk, when Pai and Tartelett returned from the control room. They nodded neutrally at each other, before Pai spoke.
"Commander has repaired the ship. He and Mew Ichigo shall be returning soon. You better call the other mews. We have something to say before they teleport here." And then, without any answer Pai and Tartelett went to stand in the middle of the abandoned cafeteria. Keiichiro shared a look with Ryo.
"I'll go get them." Ryo said, turning to get to the backroom. Keiichiro took a hold of his upper arm.
"You must talk to her when she arrives, you know…" Keiichiro started. Ryo sneered at him, knowing that Keiichiro was referring to the fact that he was the cat Alto. When Ichigo has seen that, Ryo had just walked away without explaining why he turned into a cat, and when Ichigo had asked from Keiichiro, he had answered it was something Ryo should tell himself. It wasn't his secret to tell.
"I must not." Ryo stated, before taking his arm from Keiichiro. The Dark-haired tall man sighted almost in desperation.
"You must. She wonders you know. There are just too much secrets going around. And you should not try to hide something as noble as what you did for them." Ryo looked down, and Minto, who had been sipping tea nearby leaned in closer in order to hear what Ryo said in a sullen voice.
"What I did was not noble. Trying the cat DNA on myself had nothing to do with protecting them. I just wanted revenge on my parent's murderer, so I wanted to create weapons without murdering someone in the process." Minto looked shocked at the sullen Ryo. The Blonde beauty had never before seemed so down, and… He had tested the DNA on himself?
"It was noble. Don't deny it." Keiichiro said. Ryo shrugged it off before stalking to the backroom to fetch the mews.
"Whatever"
-------------------
"We had a talk with the commander in the control room, and he has brought some information to us. The information is not yet relevant, and as the commander requested it, we cannot tell you all of it. We can state some facts however." Pai started. Tartelett took off where he left.
"The facts are following; we have two enemies to fight now. We are going to have to handle Eoin, who Kish will lastly take care of, but we will have to take care of the Deep Blue too. Deep Blue is a dictator that ruled the earth many thousands years ago, when we still lived here…"
"…And he will soon be reawakened, in a body he has already chosen. The original habitant of the body will pushed away, and he will use the body to do his bidding." Kish ended as He and Ichigo teleported to the middle of the café.
The mews just stood a while in silence, before they all rushed to Ichigo. The five girls hugged, smiling, all the while asking Ichigo questions.
"What was it like?" "Were you sad?" "What was the place like?" "Did Kish try anything?" "What were the aliens on the mother ship like?"
"Shut up!" Kish screeched, dark rings Ichigo hadn't noticed before around his eyes. Everyone went silent, and turned to Kish. Kish looked like all the royalty he was, except that his usual smirk was replaced by a tired look.
"We have no time for this. Get a grip; you're supposed to be the earth defenders, right? Deep Blue will awaken soon, and even I may have trouble fighting his in my current state…." Kish said tiredly. At the mention of 'current state' Pai's and Tartelett's face's were filled with concern.
"You haven't fed?" Pai asked incredulous. Tartelett and Pai both neared the commander, who was barely standing on his feet. Kish stared at them.
"And who was I supposed to feed on?" Pai just stared back.
"As the ro…" Pai started. Kish's face turned in an instant from tired to alert. He blocked Pai mouth with his hand.
"Don't you dare to finish that sentence or I'll have you whipped to the borderline of Azoth before you can finish that sentence." Pai immediately shut up.
"You should've demanded that you feed on the earthling. Your demon will soon take control, and we cannot win this war. So feed." Pai stated, exposing his neck. Kish looked at his in wonder.
"You've never…" Kish started, when Pai interrupted him, his eyes filled with devotion.
"It's my decision. Now feed, as you can barely stand. What if Eoin shows up?" At the name of his nemesis, Kish's alertness reached the top, and without any further objections sunk his teeth to his companion's muscular neck. His sighted in pleasure as the fresh blood made its way down his throat, his magic reserves filling up, his strength returning.
Pai hissed when the teeth sunk into his neck, but did no further sound. Kish finally let go of the neck and licked the last drops of blood from his lips, savouring the taste, while everyone except the aliens stared at them in shock. Kish whispered a word, and then licked at the puncture wounds at Pai's neck, which healed instantly.
Everyone was still staring at Kish.
What on earth was that?
-----------------
He he. I bet you you're confused about these implications… First I tell you some things about the aliens being elves, and now vampires? Well, everything will told in later chapters. For now I say that the alien race were elves when they long ago habited earth. They have evolved however after that. In some better directions, and some worse. After all they have lived in the crude space for thousands of years, so something is bound to change. And there has to be a reason to their strong powers too, right?
