Chapter 10

749-4765

No idea how this is gonna turn out, but I DO know it won't be the last chappie. There'll be a whole new series after this one is over, so just wait. All will be made clear to you in due time………………

"Quick! We gotta hurry!" Mint snapped.

"Whoa!" Pudding said, tripping and falling behind.

"Sssssssshhhhhhhhhh!" everyone hissed.

Giggles.

"Where's the room?" Lettuce asked.

"That way!" Kish said, pointing. They went that way.

"Who does he like?" Mint asked, out of the blue.

"You."

"Coolie," Mint said.

"Huh?" Zakuro said.

"You were planning to just go in there and fight, right?" Pie asked.

"Well, yeah," Zakuro replied.

"Well we have a different plan," Mint said, "Tart you still got that morphing potion?"

"Yes ma'am!" Tart replied.

"OK, everyone take a sip of this, only a sip, though," Mint said. They all did. Soon there were nine Mints standing in the hallway.

"OK, we have to go in, one by one and surround him. Get him to eat these," Kish held out a plate of grapes.

"Oo! Yummy!" Pudding said, taking a step forward.

"Don't touch!" Tart said, blocking her, "They're poisonous. We don't want you getting hurt." Pudding blushed, so did Tart.

"According to my calculations," Pie said, "he has some food in there already, feed him that first. Then these. If he asks for grapes, give him these."

"Got it," Pudding said.

"I go first," Mint said. She was just about to touch the door when…

"Wait!" Pie said, "everyone, put these on. He held up a sexy costume.

"Wow! We look hot!" Mint said.

"And I'm not even me and I look hot," Lettuce replied.

Mint walked through the door. The other 'Mints' put their ears to the door.

"Oh, Kiomi, darling, how are you feeling after that long and beautiful show?" Mint asked.

"Wondrous. I knew you'd come to love me," Kiomi said.

"Oh, I do," Mint said. Kiomi leaned to kiss Mint, "before we kiss, I have a surprise for you!" she said, "I bought you nine mints."

"What? Does my breath smell," he smiled a wicked smile.

"Not quite," she said, "come on in!"

Zakuro-Mint walked through the door, not smiling at all, but just looking hot and sexy.

"Oo, baby, you shouldn't have," Kiomi said, "I might have to be a bad boy!"

"Oh, do, darling," Zakuro-Mint said, "Be a bad boy, we'll just watch." Kiomi began to unbutton his shirt.

"Oh, girls!"

The other seven Mints walked in, also looking sexy. Kiomi took off his shirt to reveal a chest full of hair. Lettuce-Mint gagged from behind Zakuro-Mint, and Zakuro-Mint couldn't help but to laugh.

"Oh, dear," Ryou-Mint said, holding up the plate of grapes, "What shall I do with this ravenous plate of grapes? Would you like them my dear Kiomi?"

"Yes, Mint, beautiful! Feed them to me!" Kiomi said, then pointed at the normal Mint, "You! You are scheduled to be my bride! The other eight! You're servants of Kiomi A. Trevencroft!"

"It's wearing off!" Keiichiro hissed at Ryou, who now had blonde hair again.

"Ha! I knew it!" Kiomi said, "You're imposters!"

"Would ya like a grape?" Mint said quickly.

"No, I wouldn't!" he laughed. He waved his hands at the other eight peoples, making them freeze in place, a giant ice block around them, "You'll freeze to death and there's nothing anyone can do about it!" He pulled Mint to his side, kissing her. When he stopped, she stood up and said, "GOD! You're so cold!"

"Did I mention I was Kiomi A. Trevencroft, King of the Ice and Snow!" he laughed.

There was a silence and that's when Mint heard it, "Meow! Meow!"

Mint flashed a sign of warning at the approaching Ichigo-ghost, and the ghost stopped. Mint turned and looked at Kiomi, then knew what she had to do. She began deeply French kissing Kiomi, daring to stick her tongue down his throat and put her hands all over him.

She got off his and yelled, "NOW!" Ichigo's ghost transformed into Mew Ichigo and yelled, "Strawberry Bell Bell!" The ice block exploded, and the eight people inside is began shivered fiercely, "Lettuce, Zakuro, Pudding, transform! Kish, Pie, Tart! Help us out here!"

Kiomi had snapped out of his kiss daze and stared wide-eyed at Ichigo, "I-I killed you! You were dead on the floor! HOW can you still be here!"

The Mew Mews and Aliens took only a moment to stare, then realized it didn't matter how she WAS here, but that she was. They needed to get Kiomi dead before he had a chance to kill them.

"Ribbon!" Ichigo shouted.

"Strawberry Check!"

"Mint Echo!"

"Lettuce Rush!"

"Zakuro Pure!"

"Pudding Ring Inferno!"

The five colors of energy bounded toward Kiomi. The first one to hit him was Pudding.

"Why?" Kiomi cried.

"For killing me – twice!" Pudding said.

Zakuro's hit next, "For making my friends try to kill me!"

Lettuce's hit next, "For leaving us cold and hungry in a captivity cell!"

Then Mint's, "For kissing me…YUCK!"

Finally Ichigo's, "For being an overall asshole!"

Kiomi screamed. The Mew Mews celebrated his death, but then they heard an evil laugh.

"Take this, evil Starbucks dude!" Tart shouted, targeting a fire at Kiomi. Pie and Kish did the same, then he really was dead.

Mint turned to Ichigo and hugged her, "Thank you for coming when you did," she said.

Ichigo squeezed her friend, "You're welcome. And tell my parents sorry."

Mint let go and stared at Ichigo, "You mean you're leaving us again?"

"I have to Mint," Ichigo said, "It's where I belong." She paused, "but here." She took a pen out of her pocket and began to write on Mint's hand, "this is my cell number. My cell phone works in heaven, at least that's what God says, but only if one of you nine call. If it's an emergency, I'll come. But call be ASAP if one of you guys meet another freaky Starbucks dude and go on a date with him, I will be here before you can blink to check him out." She paused. Then said, "749-4765. Call me if you or anyone else needs to talk. I'll be waiting." She floated up into the sky, "Bye!"

"Wait!" Ryou called, "When will I see you again?"

"When you need me, I'll be there!" she was gone.

"Come on guys," Mint said, "let's go."
