Chapter 25 : Lost
" I´m very close.Just bring it to me and everything will be over.
" I will "
" Retasu, don´t do this ! " shouted Ryou to the green-haired girl on the ground.
But a white light submerged her and she disappeared right in front of him.
" Retasu... "
Pai closed his eyes.Ryou went in front of him.
" Where has she gone ? Tell me where she is !
" She´s outside. " answered the alien.
He seemed very calm, but inside him the alien was very worried.He just didn´t want to show it.Ryou turned around :
" Well, what are you guys waiting for ? We can´t just stay here waiting for something to happen, let´s go !
" Go where ? answered minto. We don´t even know where we are !
" You don´t understand anything ! If you all want to stay here for the rest of your lives, well that´s fine.But I´m gonna bring her back, and you´re not stopping me ! "
Ichigo approached him :
" You can´t do anything without the team, Shirogane !
" Who asked you ? " said Ryou.
Ichigo answered by hitting him.
" Hey ! What was that for ?
" That was for acting like a total jerk ! "
Ryou didn´t seem to understand, so Ichigo continued :
" You don´t understand, right ? If you didn´t act like this with Retasu, nothing would have happen and she would still be with us ! What were you thinking ? "
Ryou stared strangely at Ichigo then finally said :
" This is all my fault.What happened is because of me, so I´m gonna bring her back. "
Ryou turned around and started walking in the little tunnel to the exit.But he was interrupted by Pai´s voice :
" She didn´t love me. "
He stopped walking and looked at Pai.
" What are you talking about ? She kissed you !
" No, I did.This isn´t your fault, it´s mine.I did this to bring her back to normal, but it made things worse.I´m... sorry. "
Ryou couldn´t believe what he was hearing.He was sorry ?
The long silence was broken by Kisshu´s voice.
" So, what´s the plan ?
" What ? " said the two ennemies.
Ichigo answered :
" Come on guys ! We´ve been doing all this to save Retasu ! Do you really think that we´re gonna let go now ?
" Yeah, she´s right ! said Minto. And this is also about the future of our planet ! This thing could do anything to it !
" Purin´s gonna save the world, na do da ! " answered Purin.
Zakuro approached the two of them :
" Don´t worry guys, we ain´t never giving up ! And I´m sure if you two work together, you could get her back to normal ! "
The two of them stayed quiet.
" Enough talk ! We have a friend to save ! said Ichigo. Let´s go ! "
The four girls, Kisshu and Taruto ran into the exit, leaving Pai and Ryou completely confused.Pai finally said :
" Well, what are we waiting for ?
" Yeah, we´re gonna save the world again.And don´t worry for Retasu : We both already know who she´s gonna choose at the end. "
Pai smiled :
" Now don´t get any ideas ! "
And they both ran in the tunnel with the others.A few minutes later, they all arrived outside.
" I can make things better.
" How ? How can you possibly stop that ?
" Just bring me the Mew Aqua.Everything will be fine.
" And you´re gonna kill him, right ? "
Retasu was stil walking in the desert.
I want this to be over, but I don´t want him to die...Who should I trust ?
Please, Shirogane-san.Forgive me.I don´t want you to die.
This thought reminded her something that happened very long ago.She thought about Pai.
" You are... please, get out of my way !
" If I say I wouldn´t, would you kill me ?
" I beg of you ! I...only...want to save him !
Don´t die, please...
Retasu oppened her eyes.It wasn´t just a crush, she really loved him.
But he doesn´t.He loves Ichigo, not me...
The young girl stopped swimming in the large underwater tunnel.In front of her was a green light glowing in the dark.
I´m there...
