Chapter 31: Kagara's pain!

Rilo's P.O.V.!

These past few days have been absolutely great! Well, excluding the fact that our friend Von had to go into hospital yesterday to have an eye operation to try and save her sight... But the doctors didn't suceed in it sadly. But like Von says, 'As long as I have my friends and family... I'll live through it all!'

Von has been so brave over the past few weeks. She's accepted my new boyfriend! Ryan, who is actually 4 years older than me! I don't get it though... Why would an absolute hunk like Ryan, fall in love with a cowgirl, country swinging, gobby mouthed, parent like girl like me? I mean not many 15 year old boys do that.

First of all, I look after a five year old who I found in a bush! Now when I tell him how I got him, I will really mean it by that old saying 'I found you under a gooseberry bush' Figures! But now I have like, two guts in my life! Little Aya Chan and Ryan-sama! But I also have my friends which is a bonus!

Today, I was helping in the café and running around as young Aya-chan ran around with his hat in his hands, asking for tips and using his famous puppy dog eyes (I taught him that!) Well my little Aya-Chan gets many tips for his cuteness! And Ryan absolutely adores him! I don't care about age difference! I'm marrying Ryan once he turns 16!

Oh yeah! Because I'm a princess of Neptune and Mercury... I can marry once I am legally 12 years old because Princesses are classed as adults at that age on our planets... And because Ryan is the prince of those planets... Means it is legal for us to marry!

But hopefully the Mew project will be finished before my 12th birthday next year. And we will know who the new Ultimate Mew is!

I was walking down the street, with Aya in my arms. I actually look like a young mother. But I'm only 11 for cripes sake! And if Ryan was here... We would look like a family. And that would be nice, as Aya and Ryan get along so well.

I've never really had... family. It's always been so hard to find and now I have my family, Ryan, Aya-Chan and all of my friends. They ahve given me a home and taught me the meaning of Love! Oh Ryan's walking up to me now!

END RILO P.O.V.

Ryan ran towards Rilo and waved as Aya waved and so did Rilo, who smiled at her boyfriend who was running towards her. Rilo couldn't help but smile once Ryan kissed her forehead. Loads of girls glared at her for having such a hot, older boyfriend.

"Yo, Rilo. Where you going. School?" Ryan asked and Rilo shook her head. She didn't go to school. She was tutored back at the Café by Georgia... Who taught Rilo how to try and kill Jacob with the magical frying pan that was always in either hers or Lio's pocket.

"No! I'm just taking Aya-Chan to the park because I don't have school! Coming Ryan?" Rio asked shrilly and Ryan gave her a small nod and held onto her free hand. Rilo was squealing happily inside her head as Ryan moved closer to her and she breathed in his scent.

Rilo looked up at the boy she loved and smiled to herself as they passed people.

"He's so different from others... He truly loves me like I'm a human..." she thought to herself as Ryan stared at her and smiled. Rilo smiled back like Aya was doing. Then Rilo grinned and started to sprint to Ryan's surprise.

"Hey! Rilo!" he cried out, watching as the young girl laughed happily while she ran.

"You gotta catch me Ryan-Sama! Or I'll beat you to the park with my super cool speed!" Rilo cried out happily, laughing as Ryan grinned, then he started to run after his laughing girlfriend. Then he ran faster and faster.

"I'm not letting you win Rilo!" he yelled, running after her with full speed. Adults stared at them and cooed, thinking they were brother and sister.

Rilo laughed as she ran, then she dived to the floor because Ryan had dived and caught her. Aya giggled as he watched Rilo and Ryan fall to the ground and Ryan go into 'tickle Rilo' mode. Rilo laughed so hard she had tears in her eyes. Then she swung her arms around Ryan and smiled as he picked her up, bridal style.

"Now I've won... DUNKING!" he yelled and Rilo screamed as Ryuan threw her into the pond and Rilo came up to the surface, hair flat on her head and fringe plastered to her forehead. She spouted water from her mouth as Ryan and Aya laughed, pointing at her as she arched an eyebrow, then grinned and ducked underneath the water.

Ryan and Aya were still laughing their heads off, until they saw that Rilo wasn't there anymore... and there were bubbles coming up to the surface! Ryan and Aya freaked at that!

"Rilo... Rilo ar-are you okay? Rilo!" Ryan cried as he bent over to the pond, worried when suddenly, a hand came up from the water and grabbed his hair, then Ran fell in with a scream as Aya continued to laugh madly when both Rilo, and Ryan, popped up from beneath the water surface.

Rilo giggled at the sight of Ryan and he growled, then ducked her in the water as Rilo came up again, and kissed him there, in the pond where everyone was watching. Some gasped, some cooed. Teenage girls turned green with envy.and boys wolf whistled.

Rilo broke the kiss and smirked as Ryan looked at her in a daze. Rilo giggled and ducked him, then got out of the pond, dripping wet as she picked up Aya chan. Who was slowly getting wet aswell.

"Come on lover boy... I need to go to the Café to get dried up... And so do you by the looks of it. Come on Ryan, we need to open up the Cafe!" Rilo called out, running down the parkway path as Ryan got out of the water and sighed, the ruffled his hair slightly.

"Man that girls fast... But she's too cute and hot to give up!" Ryan said to himself as he grinned and started to run after his one true love...

"So that's the Idea. You all have to practice your levitation powers... But the levitational powers will also help Lio to open up her other sort of Mew Power that none of us, not even Lio, knows of. So you guys... You up for practicing levitation?" Georgia asked, smiling as everyone nodded and high fived.

"YEAH!" they cried out, but suddenly something blared and Lio gasped, then held out her pendant with the moon on it. So did her friends and they put their hands together as Georgia and Jacob grinned.

"Mew Mew Force!" - Rilo

"Mew Mew Great!" - Kirona

"Mew Mew Animals!" - Summer

"Mews Together!" - Von

"Activate!" - Lio. "Mew Mew Pendants... METOMORPHO-SIS!" they all cried together and they transformed as Ryan grinned and closed his eyes as his hair grew longer and a dark green colour and his eyes turned a piercing green colour.

"Mercury's Knight! Transform!" he cried out as he transformed into Rilo's protecter and they all stood in a stance, Rilo and Ryan's backs against each other as Lio stood at the front, grinning and on all fours, tail in the air as she meowed a little then stood up.

"Tokyo Mew Mew: Ultimate Force! Here to save the world and now with a little extra help! Kycha!" she cried out, and they all teleported away to where the trouble was and they saw... Jerona and Kisham's older sister there!

"Kagara! I should have known! Mew Mews stand back!" Lio yelled as Kagara (Kisham's sister) growled and glared a lot at Lio as two swords appeared in her hands and she twirled them and fire flared up around the blades.

"Yeah stand back kiddies! I wanna kill the Mew that killed my brother!" Kagara yelled angrily, and Lio's eyes widened. Jerona had lied again! She told Kagara that she had killed Kisham! Like Lio would ever do that to him!

"I would never do that to him! Kisham wouldn't kill me so I would never kill him! Jerona murdered your brother!" Lio yelled as Kagara shook her head and cried out loudly, then threw her swords at Lio... But Kirona and Von hit them away

"Liar! Jerona is a trustworthy friend! You are just scum you vile child!" Kagara screeched, throwing more swords at Lio who ducked away from them all, then once the 10th sword came flying towards her. She narrowed her eyes and held out her hands and she started to concentrate.

Suddenly, the sword stopped and the flames died out in mid-air. Lio and her friends gasped as Lio then made the sword tie in a knot. She had started her levitation properly without practice! Lio then dropped her arms and the sword dropped to the ground like wise as Kagara and Jerona stared at her in horror. Then growled and Jerona threw her own swords at the Mews who dodged and tried to control them like Lio did.

"Guys concentrate! Just concentrate on the swords and close your eyes! I'll protect you if they get too near!" Lio cried out and she then gasped as one was about to hit Summer, who wasn't holding out her hands or had her eyes closed.

But suddenly, her eyes flashed red and the sword suddenly shrivelled up and the dust fell to the ground. Summer sighed and grinned over at Lio who grinned back and gave her a thumbs up. But she was then sprawled on the ground in pain on her face.

"SCUM! Battle like a man!" Kagara cried out shrilly as Lio weakly got up from the kick Kagara had landed on her spine. Lio gasped for breath when Kagara hit her in the head and Lio fell again. Her eyes closed as Von gasped and ran over to her best friend, trying to find her.

"I... won't battle... like a... man." Lio breathed deeply, feeling the blood run from the cut on her lower lip as Von helped her up roughly and Dareto appeared and also helped with Von who sensed that he was there.

Kagara glared at Lio's response and she took out two swords and Lio looked up at her, breathing heavily, her lip bleeding and she had one black eye from a punch that Kagara had delivered earlier. Lio stared at her and shook her head, then Dareto and Von let go of her shoulders and stared at her as Lio glared at Kagara.

"I'll fight like a Mew Mew! And I will never let Jerona kill you like she did Kisham." Lio said loudly and she shook her head, then got a moon disc ready and it spund around in her hands, she aimed it at Jerona.

"Moonlight Boomerang!" she cried out, and Jerona dodged it and tried to stab Lio while growling and Lio punched her and dodged as all her friends helped, Ryan tried to tackle her but ended up on the floor. Rilo screamed and then ran over to her love and helped him up, then got her microphone ready.

But Jerona kicked it out of her hand and put a dagger towards Rilo's neck. Rilo giulped as Lio gasped and so did Kirona and Summer. Von felt weird and knew her friends were in trouble.

Ryan tried to kick Jerona's hand away... But the daggers point was resting on Rilo's neck. And the slightest movement could be fatal to Rilo and could mean her life would be taken. So Ryan backed down and glared at Jerona who grinned.

"Good boy... Now don't make any sudden movement... Or the pretty girls features get bloodied up!" Jerona hissed. Lio saw her friend in great danger, but Kagara was batteling her fiercely. So Lio had to stop Kagara.

"Kagara! Listen to me! Jerona killed your brother! And I bet you anything she's planning on killing you!" Lio cried, hitting away a flying dagger filled with fire and ice. Kagara glared at her and formed another dagger. That Lio controlled into bending and forming into a knot. Kagara growled angrily

"Why would I listen to you? My brother only liked you for your dumb looks! And you're anything but pretty! You know that Jerona loved him?" Kagara screeched, and Lio stopped dodging and controlling the daggers. One scrapped against Lio's skin as she stared at Kagara and she shook her head lightly.

"If she had loved him... She wouldn't have killed him. And Kisham saw me for more than beauty. He saw me for me... Like Liam does... And Kisham saved me... Because he truly did love me. I realise that... And in a way... I loved him... Like a brother. It's the truth Kagara. The real truth. Ask Jerona and I bet she shouts." Lio said, tears forming in her eyes as Kagara stared at her, then face Jerona who grinned and gave her a thumbs up sign. Kagara stared at the ground.

"Jerona!... Did you... erm... Did you kill my... brother?" Kagara asked quietly as her own tears formed in her eyes. And then she saw it. Jerona's eyes filling with flames and she frowned, then scowled and growled as she pressed the blade into Rilo's neck, drawing blood. Von gasped because she felt it.

"No! The wench did! Kill her now! Kill her now!" Jerona screamed, and Kagara gasped, shaking her head. She fell to the ground and shook her head again and again. Jerona noticed that Kagara had seen through her lies. Jerona glared at Lio and growled.

"You... You little minx! You scheming child! How dare you tell her the truth! I'll kill you for this!" Jerona screamed, taking the blade away from Rilo's neck and lunging at Llio who stood there and closed her eyes, ready to put up a shield. But Von beat her to it and sent a hoard of flames at Jerona who screeched as flames got into her eyes.

Lio gasped, when suddenly someone dashed past her, and she saw a flash of silver.

"Heiro..." she thought to herself as the prince of the moon picked her up and Von aswell. That deserved a growl from Dareto, but then he realised that Heiro meant no harm and didn't intend to fall in love with Von.

"Princess... We meet again. Do you wish for me to finish off this battle?" Heiro asked in a small whisper, and Lio shook her head then let Dareto take Von with him because she was slightly injured and her eyes were stinging badly. Lio shook her head again as Heiro put her down on a tree branch.

"No... This is my battle... I need to protect Kagara. Kisham's sister... I can't let both siblings die..." Lio said softly, and Heiro gave a slight nod then saw Kagara and he stared at her. He fell in love immediantly! Hhe thought Kagara was a picture with grace and beauty... Even if she was crying.

"Ka-Ga-Ra? She's so..." he started, and Lio seemed to roll her eyes from the prince's stupidness. But Kagara was pretty. And Lio did want to protect her. The Prince of the moon seemed like he would be able to protect Kagara well.

"Okay then... go help with the battle Heiro... Protect Kagara with your life. Ii don't want her to suffer like Kisham did..." Lio whispered and they both flew down from the tree, Lio had her Strawberry Bell in hand and Jerona glared at her as Lio and Heiro stood in front of a starteld Kagara. Who noticed the prince. (guess she fell for him too...)

"Jerona! We won't ever let you hurt Kagara! I'd rather die than let you murder again!" Lio cried out, and she was joined by Summer, Kirona and Rilo.

"Count us in! Any friends of Lio's is a friend of mine!" Rilo cried out and Ryan appeared behind her. Suddenly Dareto and Von appeared, Aaya-Chan in their arms. Kagara stared at all the people who wanted to protect her.

"Fire will burn brightly and dangerously if Kagara is hurt. I shall promise that my enemy." Von said in a dark monetone and Jerona's eyes widened in great fear. Dareto grinned as he took out a gun and Von created two fireballs in each of her palms.

"No! You can't defeat me! And why is the kid there in your arms?" Jerona cried out, pointing to Aya who glared at her... And his ears grew larger and pointier! Rrilo gasped as Aya's own hair turned from black... to dark green! His eyes turned forest green and fangs grew from his teeth.

"Because Aya is in fact... An alien prince! From the same planet as Rilo and Ryan! Mercury!" Summer cried out and Aya stood up and closed his eyes, and soon a sword flew into his hands and he opened his eyes and glared at Jerona.

"A-Y-A?" Rilo croaked as she stared at her little brother that called her mommy. Aya stared at her and smiled, then started to glare at Jerona again and he raised his sword above his head high. Jerona squeaked as Kagara suddenly stood up and caught two swords that had appeared in the air.

"You think that I would let you hurt Lio and her friends that easily! Especially my son!" Kagara growled, which earned a few eyes widening and gasped from everyone. Aya stared at Kagara who stared at him and shook her head, then sniffed back a few tears.

"That's right! Aya's really my son! And I made the greatest choice by leaving Aya in Mexico!" Kkagara screeched, making Von's ears hurt and she covered them as she seared in pain. Dareto held onto her shoulders and also covered her ears with her own hands.

"How was it great? Leaving a kid in the middle of nowhere, in a bush to die?" Rilo suddenly cried out and Kagara stared at her and sniffed, tears welling in her eyes as she shook her head and dropped her swords on the floor. Rilo glared at her while Jerona disappeared. Knowing she would be killed if she stayed there. Everyone else watched the match between Kagara and Rilo.

"I would have never let Aya die! I put him there when I saw ypu walking Rilo! I knew you were lonely because I was watching you! I couldn't take you to your sister because you had lived without her long enough! I thought that if I gave you someone to care for... You would be happier! And it worked! But then I also had no one to care for me! Until I met Kisham..." Kagara bit her lip as her tears splashed to the floor, and her daggers disappeared. Lio stared at her, then ran over and hugged Kagara tightly.

"So... Kisham isn't your... brother?" Lio asked quietly, and Kagara nodded, sniffing and wiping her eyes with the back of her hand and she stared at everyone, including Aya and she shook her head again.

"No... He just took me in and I started to think of him as a brother... I was only 15 years old then... That's why I hated you marrying him, Lio. I somehow fell in love with my supposed brother!" Kagara cried as Lio patted her back. But Kagara then kneeled down beside Aya who stared at her.

"But I never gave up... Thinking that I would see you again, Aya-Chan. And if you want to stay with Rilo and Ryan... I'm happy... because I wanted Rilo to be happy. And i succeeded in my plan. I'm so proud of you Aya-Chan" she whispered, and Aya swung his arms around her neck, and hugged her tightly.

"I will always remember you as my mommy... But Rilo is my real mommy. No one can replace her... You can be my auntie" Aya whispered and Kagara smiled as Aya rubbed her back then patted her head before running up to Rilo and Ryan who hugged him and stared at Kagara who stood near Heiro.

"I'm fine with that... But I'll be happy... With my protecter..." Kagara smiled, and they teleported away as Rilo smiled down at Aya and they returned to their natural states. Lio smiled as she hugged Rilo then Von, who had uncovered her ears and smiled slightly.

"You know... I guess Kagara made me realise... All of you mean so much to me. But she gave me Aya-chan... To stop me from being a lonely girl. Aya-Chan is my life. Without him, I wouldn't be whole. I wouldn't breathe. I wouldn't become a Mew Mew." Rilo said, hugging Aya and picking him up as Ryan smiled and ruffled Aya's hair and he giggled. Rilo smiled up at her friends.

"I'm glad you're a Mew Mew... We would never be complete if you weren't here sis!" Kirona laughed as she ruffled Rilo's hair and Rilo cried out, trying to hit away her sisters hands and growling as she tried to tag her sister, but couldn't.

Kirona and Rilo ran around the park, Rilo trying to hit her sister...
