The Past Bites

Me: I'M BAAAAAAAACK! HORRAY!

Kalaa: YOU SURE TOOK YOUR LITTLE SWEET TIME!

Me: I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I got stuck with stupid writer's block! And it took me forever to figure out how to get the poll thing to work!

Kaiyo: Well, at least you're back now!

Me: Yes! Thank you!

Aoyama: (walks in, and looks at chapter) I GET SCREENTIME! Wait, this chapter-

Me: WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT BEING IN MY STUDIO GRAY-SUE? (turns into Fallen Angel and blasts him with Crimson Soul Crusher) GET LOST!

Kaiyo: (sweatdrop)

Kalaa: Oh yes, Aoyama's gonna GET IT! Let's get started! BladeofMoonlight does not own TMM or MMP, but she does own Me, Kaiyo, Melina, Azzuen and the Master.

Chapter 6

/No P.O.V.

Kalaa gawked at Kaiyo's mew form. He had deep green-blue dolphin-themed armor that covered his entire body. It was slim and glowing brightly, and there were fins on his arms and helmet. His wings were also white, and there was two daggers at his belt along with twin blasters.

Kaiyo grinned. "What do you think?"

"Cool?" Kalaa suggested, coming out of her trance. "In that form you're known as Mew Skyrus, just like I'm called Mew Moon."

"Mew Skyrus...that has a nice ring to it. So now what?" Kaiyo asked, transforming back.

Kalaa frowned, before getting an idea. "Why don't we go outside?"

Kaiyo's eyes widened. "Outside? But I don't have mom's permission! I'll get into serious trouble, like last time."

"It's just gonna be for a few hours. We'll get back before she even knows you left. PLEASE, Kaiyo?" Kalaa gave him her saddest kitten look.

Kaiyo caved. "Alright." Kalaa practically dragged him down the halls and, in her excitement, nearly ran someone over.

"AHHHHH!" The girl shrieked in surprise.

"Agh...sorry..." Kalaa blinked, and her eyes widened. She had crashed into none other than Melina Fujiwara.

There was an awkward silence. Finally Kalaa mumbled "Sorry," again, and pulled the raven-haired girl to her feet.

"Oh, it's alright." Melina replied, shrugging. "For a second I thought you were paparazzi."

"Don't worry about those guys." Kaiyo said. "Kalaa chased them off."

Melina tipped her head. "That was possible? Really?"

"They're gone for now." Kalaa replied.

"Thanks." Melina looked around, before turning back to them. "So...are you guys doing anything?"

"We're going OUTSIDE!" Kaiyo proclaimed triumphantly. Melina's eyes widened.

"Outside? Like outside outside?"

"You know another outside?" Kalaa asked.

"Can I come with you?"

"What? What if you're seen? Your mother-"

"I know." Melina cut Kalaa off, her amethyst eyes watering. "I...It's just...I've never been outside. I've spent my entire life indoors, hiding from the world. Because I was illegitimate. Because mommy wasn't married when she gave birth to me. Because she wouldn't tell them who was my father. In the world of celebrities, that doesn't go ignored. They've hounded us like we were pieces of meat. I just wanted to spend ONE DAY! ONE DAY, being normal kids like you two." She lowered her head, stifling a sob.

Kalaa longed to protest that her life wasn't much classier, but she flinched at what the Master would do to her and anyone she was open to.

"I haven't been outside much either." Kaiyo said unexpectedly. "I've spent most of my life inside this hospital."

Melina raised her head. "You have?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I don't know." Kaiyo replied quietly. "She never said. Kalaa-chan here-" He looked meaningfully at Kalaa "was going to take me into the outside world for a while."

Can I come with you?" Melina pleaded, looking at her with sad eyes.

"Okay." Kalaa said, surprising herself. "And I have a plan."

"What?"

"We're going to find out everything about the Mew Mews, Chimera animals, our parents, and what lead to our births and confident, in hospitals, always on the run from paparazzi, everything." The truth was, Kalaa was suddenly having little faith in the story the Master had told her and Azzuen. All he told her were damning stories about the mews, the blue mew and her mother in particular, and how selfish and stupid she was, that she was an oppressor, a ruthless &*%#, ect. Was that really what had happened? Well, they were going to find out!

"Where do we begin?" Melina asked.

Kalaa tied up Melina's hair in a bun and hid it under a hat. She also got cool-looking shades for all of them, to hide their eyes. She insisted Melina change into something less expensive/attention grabbing. Melina ended up in jeans and a t-shirt.

"Brilliant!" Kaiyo exclaimed. "No one will guess you're a supermodel's daughter!"

"Where do we start our 'investigation?'" Melina looked at Kalaa. The silver-haired half-alien smirked. "At the Museum mom first dated that tree-hugger."

/At the Museum

"Azzuen?" Kalaa hissed, eyes wide. Her cobalt-haired friend turned, surprised, and blinked at her.

"Hi Kalaa."

"Who's this?" Melina asked.

"An old friend of mine. Azzuen. We've known each other since shortly after birth." Kalaa replied. "But Azzuen, what are you doing here?"

"Looking for answers." Azzuen replied solemnly.

"Answers?"

"Same as you." With a quick look around to make sure no one was looking, Azzuen took off his cloak and snapped his fingers. Two blue wings shot out of his back.

Kalaa, Kaiyo, and Melina stared at him. "You have the same animal DNA as Mew Minto?"

"I don't know why." Azzuen replied quietly. "But I intend to find out. Can I come with you guys?"

"Sure." Kaiyo said, then his eyes widened. "Hide! Someone's coming!" He hissed. The four friends ducked behind an animal display. Two figures walked into the room, one ahead of the other. Kalaa's eyes widened.

One was her mother. The other one was the one boy she hated more than anyone else on earth. The boy was Mayasa Aoyama.

Kalaa's fingers dug into her palms, almost drawing blood. Azzuen and Kaiyo put their hands on her shoulders, in an attempt to keep her calm.

"...please, Aoyama-kun, help me. She isn't thinking straight. I've got a horrible feeling someone's raised her to hate me." Ichigo was pleading when she came into earshot of the eavesdroppers. "When I went back to find her-when I went back to take her home, she was gone. Someone had taken her away. She hates me, and that's my own stupid fault, but I think someone's raised her cruelly." Kalaa's eyes widened further. "I need to find her, talk to her, but I can't do it alone, she won't listen to me. Please, please Aoyama-kun, please help me save Kalaa!"

"Help you?" The black-haired boy echoed, eyes burning. "Help you, after you cheated on me with that alien? You had a child by someone who's tried to kill me, a syco who almost destroyed earth, that little nothing hates you and you come crawling to me? You little-"

Kalaa's pupils dilated as she watched the before her. Mayasa beat Ichigo, throwing her on the floor. He called her names to disgusting to repeat. It took every last ounce of her self-control not to transform on the spot and mutilate that...no word was dirty enough for him.

Her friends stood almost straight up, mouths open in complete shock.

"We're through!" Mayasa ripped out the door, but not before throwing Ichigo to the floor one more time.

Kalaa practically tore after him, leaving her friends in the dust, where Kaiyo stepped out of his hiding place to try to console the sobbing redhead.

"What am I thinking?" She asked plaintively as Kaiyo knelt next to her. "Aoyama-kun's right...I have no right to try to win Kalaa's forgiveness..."

Kaiyo began to murmer kind words, and while he was joined by Melina, Azzuen stared angrily down the hall. Kill him Kalaa. Kill him!

/Kalaa's P.O.V.

Kalaa skidded to a halt and hid behind another corner. Mayasa was being greeted by another young woman. She kissed him and smirked.

"So you finally told that strawberry-headed slut off? I'm tired of sharing you."

"Well, don't worry about her. She's officially out of my life. Soon we can really date."

"Good. Why were you even dating her?"

Mayasa shrugged. "I felt sorry for her. Besides, I got kicks out of messing with her. I only love you Misa-chan."

If Kalaa heard one more infuriating thing, her head was going to explode.

Okay, my mother has had plenty of moments, but she did it because she loved him! For HIM, she fought with everything she had! She spurned my father more times than either of them could keep track of! She fought, nearly sacrificed the world for him! She died for him! She even thought of abandoning me for him! She gave him her heart and soul! She loved him!

AND THIS IS HOW HE TREATS HER!

"THAT'S IT! MEW MEW MOON, METAMORPHOSIS!" Mayasa and Misa spun around, eyes wide, to see a VERY pissed Mew Moon stalking towards them, blaster drawn and wings flexed with unmasked aggression. "YOU SON OF A-"

The next scene has been cut due to high-level violence and extreme language. I do NOT want to raise the rating, so I'll stick with implications. But I WILL tell you, in the end, Mayasa was covered in hundreds of bleeding wounds, and Kalaa hung over him with a bloody sword, calling him names that I don't have the nerve to repeat.

"Who-are-you?" Mayasa stammered in fear.

"I AM MEW MOON!" Kalaa shouted, golden eyes blazing. "I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!"

Mayasa got to his feet and half-ran, half-stumbled down the halls. Kalaa shethed her sword, wishing looks could kill, and flew back down the hall towards her friends and her mother.

End chapter

Me: I sincerely hope my fellow Mayasa Haters enjoyed that last bit.

Kalaa: That was thoroughly satisfying.

Me: You kidding? I wish that had been me!

Azzuen: (sweatdrop) You sure that wasn't too violent?

Me and Kalaa: NO WAY! Now, onto Discoveries and New Love!
