Chapter Nine: New Guy appears and he's an alien!

Lio and Von walked through the park together then sat under a tree and Lio lay on the grass as she smiled and Von stared at her best friend. Von was always happy when she was next to Lio, and today she was smiling.

"Hey Vvon. Tomorrows a day off for us at the Café. And we are all gonna go on holiday to Mexico thanks to Georgia! How cool is that?" Lio asked happily as Von gave her a small nod and stared up at the sky, watching the clouds pass by.

"Hm. We will be departing in only 4 days. How lovely" Von said to herself and Lio laughed as she put her hans behind her head and lay on them as she stared up at the cloudy sky as well then closed her eyes and sighed happily.

"Yeah. No school, no café, no Kisham. And most of all... No fighting. Just relaxsation and the lovely desert..." Lio sighed, thinking of paradise while Von gave her small nods at each word Lio said. Lio opened one eye and smiled as she sat up and rested her hands on the clean cut grass and sighed.

"Well... I guess i have to get home now. Mom wants me to make some tea for Ronnie and her new date. See ya later!" Lio yelled as she stood up and ran off, waving her hand behind her as she ran. Von waved back then looked at the ground and sighed. Suddenly somethnig fell to her hand and it started to sting. Von looked at her hands to see... An arrow!

The arrow was sticking in her hand! Von gasped as she pulled it out, but she never yelled in pain, but she stared in horror when somebody fell from the tree and smirked.

He had short, dark green hair, almost black, grey eyes, his pointed ears were pierced on his right ear. His clothes were human wear. A black shirt, black jeans that were ripped and a black, leather jacket with black shoes. He smirked when he saw Von.

"You found my arrow" he hissed and snatched it away from her while Von stared at him in horror and shock then stood up really quickly. She glared and suddenly her wound healed in a bright flash and the alien raised an eyebrow. He was amused.

"So... You must be a Mew Mew. Well let's see how you do against me." he hissed and Von glared then her whole body started to glow and she closed her eyes.

"Mew Mew Fire... METOMORPHO-SIS!" she yelled and her battle uniform appeared over her body and so did her panda ears and tail. She held up one arm and let a fireball form in her hand. She then threw it at the alien and he just jumped away to the side, dodging it easily.

"Fire...? And a Panda. You must be Von, the Goth. Kisham tells me about all of you. But where's the Moonlight one Vanessa?" he asked slyly and Von growled at her whole name and threw another fireball at him then started to twirl around.

"Lava Cyclone!" she yelled and the tornado of fire formed around her and she started to spin in it...

Lio felt a pain surge through her and she turned around as she saw Von batteling an alien! But her legs were weak and she couldn't walk. She knew what was happening and she suddenly fell to the ground and fainted. Her flashbacks were coming again...

FLASHBACK

"Mom... Where are you going...?" asked a scared four year old as her mother turned to glare at her then hit the young girl around the head, Von went flying across the floor and stopped when her head hit the wall. Her mother turned around and slammed the door shut. Von started to cry silently.

"Mommy i love you... Don't you love me back?" Von asked herself.

Von held a long bread knife in front of her face and she gulped. Then lowered it to her wrists, and cut.

Von felt the blood run down her wrist slowly, then it dripped onto the floor. Von felt better, but she was still sad. Von had walked to her room and she threw away all of her white, pink and coloured clothes. She only had black clothes left in her room.

Her mother came home and she stared up at her.

"Mommy! I love you!" she whispered with a small smile but her mother glared at her and picked her up by the neck. She smelled of alcohol and rum.

"Get away from me you freak child! I would never love a beast like you!" her mother threw her to the ground and stomped off to her room. von watched her and sniffed.

Suddenly, the curtains started to burn and Von stared at them in horror. Then she imagined her hair burning... It did. Her long, navy hair stopped burning when it reached shoulder length. She stared at her blood covered hands in shock. Von stared at the walls.

"I'm... I'm a fire girl... No one will love me now..." she whsipered to herself and she hit her hand against the wall, leaving a blood covered hand print on the white washed walls. She cried as she burned more things...

END FLASHBACK

Lio's eyes suddenly opened and she stared around as she sat up. Her wrist was cut and bleeding. Her hands were blood cut and... Her hair was cut up to her shoulders! She gasped and put her blood stained hands up to her mouth and shook her head.

Lio stood up shakily and stared over at Von then gave a small cry. But then she noticed that her fringe that had grown with her hair, was still the length it used to be! Lio smiled. This was going to be her new style. But now she had a battle to do!

"Mew Mew Moonlight! METOMORPHO-SIS!" she yelled and her whole body started to glow. Lio lifted her arms and her battle uniform appeared over her body and her hair turned to it's original length and she held up the strawberry bell, smiling.

"You must be the new guy on the block, Dareto!" she yelled as she suddenly kicked him in the back and he fell to the ground as Lio smiled and waved over at Von who stared at her then smiled and ran towards Lio.

Lio let Dareto the alien stand up and he glared at her then smirked as she put a hand on her hip while she smirked and he held out his arrow. He grinned.

"And you must be Lio. Kisham talks about you... alot." he hissed and Lio smirked

"Well he is a flying pervert. I can't expect less of him. Now let's battle!" Lio yelled out loudly and she did a backflip then landed on her feet. Von did the same and two fireballs appeared in both her hands. Dareto smirked and he stared at his arrow.

It started to glow and suddenly turned into a large crossbow and he grinned even more as he aimed it at Von.

"Ssay hello to the little birdy" he whispered and he let the arrow go. Von gasped and took a step back. But Lio was too quick and she jumped in front of Von and held out her hands, Strawberry Bell in front of her face and Von gasped as the arrow inched closer and closer...

The Strawberry Bell encased a shield around the two friends and Lio closed her eyes tightly as she held the Strawberry Bell and the shield never faltered, Dareto stared at them as his arrow tried to brake through, but snapped in half in the process.

"Hm. You seem to have won this round." he said to himself and suddenly, a motorbike that was shiny and black, Dareto sat on it and rode away, helmet on his head.

Lio let the Shield falter and she fell to the floor as she was weak and Von caught her and stared at Dareto's bike with a cold glare as she held her friend. They both re-transformed, Lio's hair reaching to her shoulders again.

"Those girls are strong when they are together. But where is the yellow one?" Dareto thought as he road away into the sun...
