The Past Bites
Me: Welcome back everyone! It is I, BladeofMoonlight, here to present you with Chapter 5 of The Past Bites!
Kalaa: So what happens now?
Me: ...Another scandal...involving two people we know very well...
Kalaa&Kaiyo: Who? Who?
Me: Sorry, you'll have to read it first!
Kalaa: Rats.
Kaiyo: (reads it, eyes bug out)
Aoyama: (walks in randomly, reads chapter) Yay! I'm finally in this story!
Me: WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING HERE? GET OUTTA THE AUTHOR'S NOTE GARY-SUE! (Kalaa spin-kicks Aoyama out) THANK YOU KALAA!
Kalaa: Anytime. IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT STUPID TREE-HUGGER ME AND MOMMY WOULDN'T BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS!
Audience: But then we wouldn't have this cool story to read.
Kalaa: Oh yeah. Still hate him though. (glares at door)
Me: Ditto to that. Now, my green-haired half-alien!
Kaiyo: BladeofMoonlight does not own TMM or MMP, she just owns me, Kalaa, and the Master.
Chapter 5: More shocks
/Kalaa's P.O.V.
Kalaa woke in a daze, and noticed at once Kaiyo wasn't next to her. She sat up and looked around. "Where could he be?" She wondered. She glanced at the clock. 9:45. "Oh, must be breakfast time."
Kalaa got her shoes on and skipped out the door, and down the halls, putting on the normal schoolgirl act while she searched for her friend.
A hand grabbed her arm and yanked her into an almost-deserted hall. "Hey-"
"Shhh!" Kalaa looked over her shoulder to where Kaiyo was standing, a finger over his lips.
"What is it?" She asked, more quietly this time.
"Listen." Kaiyo replied eyes wide, "you aren't going to believe this." He leaned over towards the half-open door. Kalaa peaked in under him.
A young woman with long purple hair was sitting on the examination bed, breathing heavily. A little girl with identical purple hair, about six, was sitting on the stool next to her.
"Are they gone?" The woman asked weakly, turning to the nurse.
"Yes miss." She replied. "They are." The little girl sighed.
"That's good."
"What brings you back here?"
"I think I'm on round two." The woman whispered. "It might just be a bug, but I don't know..."
The nurse bit her lip, a worried expression on her face. "List your symptoms."
"For six weeks I've been throwing up, as well as feeling dizzy, and I've been getting hunger pains and weird food cravings AND I've been feeling sick almost every day." The woman replied.
The nurse silently retrieved something out of a box in one of the drawers.
"What's that?" Kalaa asked as quietly as she could.
"It's a pregnancy test." Kaiyo answered, gazing harder at the woman. "I feel like I've seen her somewhere before..."
"A pregnancy test?" Kalaa repeated, looking at the woman again. There was a pause, then a beeping noise. The woman looked at the test, and then put her face in her hands.
"The tabloids will never leave me alone when they find out I'm pregnant again..."
"It's okay mom." The girl said softly. "I'll be a good older sister."
"Oh Melina...you mean you'll even let her play with Sparkles?" The woman teased. Two wolf ears shot out of the girls head while she lifted it indigently
"Hey! Mom!"
Kalaa and Kaiyo pulled away from the door and sank onto the ground, trying to process everything they had just learned. "That's Zakuro Fujiwara."
"She's Mew Zakuro too." Kalaa whispered.
Kaiyo tilted his head. "You know?"
"What other explanation could there be for her looking just like her and her daughter having wolf ears?" Kalaa replied, in a kind of a yell-whispered voice.
"You're right..." At that moment, Kaiyo and Kalaa felt the floor tremble. They looked up and nearly jumped ten feet straight in the air. A hoard of people with cameras, TV camcorders and notepads were rushing towards the room Zakuro and Melina were in.
"Paparazzi." Kaiyo whispered grimly. "A LOT of Paparazzi."
Kalaa gritted her teeth. "This is none of their business." She pulled him into the closet. "I'll be right back..." She jumped out, grabbed her mew pendant and shouted. "MEW MEW MOON, METAMORPHOSIS!" She ran into the hall, in front of the door and pulled out her kuni. "Stop!" She ordered.
Much to her surprise, they did stop. Probably because a girl with a strange outfit, a sword, a gun, kuni, white wings and cat ears had appeared in the hall out of nowhere.
"You shouldn't be here." Mew Moon said stiffly.
The men stared at her, as if they couldn't believe a ten-year-old was talking back to them. "We sure as hell should be here! We're here to learn about Zakuro's child scandal!"
"Do you have her permission to distribute such information to the outside world?" Mew Moon asked steely, raising her small-but-deadly-daggers threateningly.
"We don't need it!"
"Then I don't think this is any of your business!" Mew Moon shot back. "LEAVE!" The kuni bounced off every wall, smashing equipment and scarring men. Mew Moon drew her blaster. The men looked at the glowing gun, weighed the options, and took off running. The blast hit the ground at their heels.
Kalaa untransformed, watching the crowd vanish. Kaiyo got out of the closet and looked questioningly at her and her mew pendant.
"I'll explain downstairs." She replied, grabbing his arm and running down the halls, just in time to avoid being seen by Melina, who was checking to make sure the coast was clear.
/Kaiyo's Room
It had taken the better part of thirty minuets, but Kalaa finally explained (without telling him about the Master or Azzuen I might add) to Kaiyo about her ability to transform into a Mew Mew, and a bit about his own blood.
"So I have multiple genetics too?" Kaiyo asked. Kalaa didn't know why, but she didn't like seeing him so serious. He just seemed less approachable then when he was smiling or flirting with her.
"Well, originally you just inherited the DNA your mother had, but when you touched one of my feathers, it vanished into your body. So I guess that means you have the White Eagle DNA too. Not that I'm an expert at this stuff..."
"It's okay. Does that mean I can transform too?"
"I don't know-"
"I'm gonna try!" Kaiyo said, eyes brightening. His hand flew over the mark on his neck, which was glowing. Suddenly, a blue-green pendant appeared in his hand. Kalaa squeaked.
"Mew Mew Skyrus, METAMORPHOSIS!" There was a brilliant flash of light blue-green light...
End Chapter
/Author's Note: I'm just piling on the scandals, aren't I? Any suggestions for Kaiyo's Mew form? I have an idea of what it should look like, but I'd like input from my reviewers. Oh, and there's going to be a poll on my profile: Should I give Melina and the other Mew children mew forms? Or should it just be Kalaa and Kaiyo?
