Chapter 8~ I'm not a mew mew!

Ayuta licked her lips; they were extremely dry and chapped. She opened her eyes half way to a dimly lit room, and she was lying down in a bed. She slowly sat up, wincing in pain. Every muscle in her body felt like it was on fire. She groggily looked around the room. Its walls were a pale yellow, the carpet a light pink. A bedside table was next to the bed (DUH) and old fashioned lamp barley illuminated the room. The bed was white, the sheets a pale yellow, matching the walls. Ayuta rubbed the back of her head, trying to remember what happened and where she was. Suddenly her hands ran across something odd in the back of her head. She felt it up; it was a line that went up the back of her head, which had little left to right crossings over the main line.

"what the... Hell?" Ayuta asked the dimly lit room. She sat up in bed and saw a door at the other side of the room. Ayuta silently slipped off the bed and tiptoed over to it. She was an expert at being sneaky, when you steal everything you live off of, girl learns to be quiet.

She reached out to the circular gold handle. She turned it slowly and the door opened. She smiled and cracked the door only to make a small growl. This door leads to the bathroom. She closed it quietly, and turned to the door on the other wall. She crept over to it and silently turned the handle. This door opened to, but when she looked into this door it revealed a closet. Ayuta frowned and closed the door.

She looked around her; there were no more doors and no windows. She slumped onto the floor.

"Where am i?" She asked. Her hands went to the stich in the back of her head. "Where did I get this?" She wondered. Suddenly a ripple of air above her made her look up. In the place of the ripple stood a floating boy, a little older than Kisshu it seemed and he had similar attire and the same big ears. Suddenly her eyes widened and it all came back to her. She jumped up and made a fist to the boy.

"Where's that dammed Kisshu?" She growled. The purple haired boy scoffed.

"That is not important." He mused and he was intimidating, but strangely he kept a good distance from her. Then she saw his jaw was red and looked sore. She smuged.

"Ah, it was you I head-butted in the jaw eh?" She chuckled. He narrowed his eyes at her and snapped his fingers. She gasped as she was lifted into the air by nothing, and pulled closer to the violet haired floating guy. He folded his arms and stared daggers at her. "What the hell? Put me down!" She ordered, trying to keep upright. He seemed to stare at her longer before he took his hand back and swiftly slapped her across the face.

She stopped wiggling, shocked. He face was turned to the right, bangs covering her eyes.

"That should teach you to behave properly in the presence of someone stronger than you."

She smiled, and then started laughing manically. He raised an eyebrow and grabbed her chin so she would look at him. "What are you laughing about?" He hissed. She smiled evilly at him.

"You don't know anything about being strong." She whispered, still smiling. He dropped her and she landed with a thud on the carpet.

"I think you've demoted yourself, from this comfy room to a cell." He said coldly. The room around her shimmered and the dimly lit room turned into a cold metal cell. It had a metal sink, a metal bed and a cracked mirror. He disappeared and Ayuta sat on her new bed and looked at the ground.

"What a birthday…" She breathed, still smiling.

Pai teleported into his lab and growled at his computer. Kisshu teleported into the room soon after he did.

"So how's our prisoner doing?" He asked playfully.

"She's a pain in the ass." He simply said. Kisshu nodded.

"Ya I already knew that!" He put his hands behind his head.

"Where's Taruto?" Pai asked, working on his computer. Kisshu looked around.

"I dunno. I'll go look for him." Kisshu teleported out.

Pai pushed a button that showed Ayuta's room, and she was standing on top of her bad, Taruto floating on the other side of the room. "Dammit Taruto!" Pai hissed and teleported into her cell.

"Stop calling me kid! I'm not a silly human!" He spat at her.

She seemed taken aback by this. "So what are you?"

He snickered. "I'm an alien to you, but to me you're the alien!"

Ayuta blinked a couple times. "Me the alien? You're the one who looks like Halloween came around early!" She pointed at his ears. He seemed confused.

"What's Hol-ow-yn?" He asked confused.

Ayuta pinched the bridge of her nose. "Just forget it, gods aliens are annoying!"

"Well humans are ugly!" He pointed at her face. She reached up and pulled on his ears again.

"Ya well these ears aren't gonna win any beauty pageant!" She hissed, pulling him down to her level.

"AHHH LET GO!" He shouted, scratching her arm.

Out of the corner of Ayutas eye she saw the alien from earlier appear and she growled, letting go the smaller one.

"There's not enough room in here for three people!" She hissed at him. He grabbed the young boy's wrist.

"Taruto, you know you aren't supposed to be in here!" He growled.

"But Pai! She was yelling really nasty things so I came to shut her up!" Taruto whined.

Pai sighed and started to shimmer away with the boy. Suddenly it hit Ayuta, if you are touching them when they disappear, you go to. She swiftly reached out and grabbed Taruto's shirt, and she disappeared with them.

Ayuta's feet settled on the floor and as soon as they did, she ran. She sprinted towards the first door she saw, not caring if they were chasing her. Then the air rippled around the door and Kisshu stood in front of it. She tried stopping, but she was just running to fast. BAM! She collapsed onto the floor with Kisshu below her. "Sorry!" She gasped and reached up to the door handle.

Hitting him with the door, she slipped out and ran down the hall.

"Sorry? Why the hell did I say sorry?" She wondered. She saw a room down the hall, and she ran fast for it. She opened the door and slammed it behind her. The room had a cylinder container and a keypad in the middle of it. She ran into the cylinder, closing the door to it and hoped they wouldn't find her. She curled up in a ball as she heard the door to the room being opened.

Suddenly she heard a snicker and the capsule's door made a CLINK noise. Ayuta watched the door, waiting for it to open. It didn't. She wondered if they had left. She stood up and tried the door, but it wouldn't budge. She pulled on it harder, it still stayed shut. She banged on the door.

"Hey! HEY! Let me out!" She yelled.

"Nope!" She heard Taruto's muffled voice sing. "It's time reverse your mew mew powers! We don't want those dammed mews getting another comrade!" He said. Suddenly she heard the door to the room open again, and heard footsteps toward the panel.

"I'm reversing her powers! We should do that so even if we do give her back, they'll be one mew short still!" Taruto explained to the stranger.

"Good idea." She heard a muffled Pai answer. "Let me do it, you don't know how to do this." He said. The door to the room opened again.

"Hey what are you two doing? And where's that dammed girl?" She heard an angry Kisshu ask them.

"Were striping her of her powers." Pai explained. "We reinvented that Ryou's invention so that a mew mew would lose her powers." He continued.

Kisshu clapped his hands together. "Perfect!"

Mew mew? What did Ryou have to do with them? Did he…. "Oh my god." She whispered. Everything came back to her, everything. The escape, getting turned into something else, the mew mews owning the café, getting stuck with a needle… "Bastards! How the hell could they do that to me? And why?" She thought hard.

"what's the bitch yelling about?" She heard the kid ask.

Ayuta banged on the door. "Hey hey! I'm not a mew mew! Stop!"

Pai scoffed, "don't try to deceive us, it's as they say, game over." And with that Ayuta heard a whir and the cylinder started to glow.

She banged on the door more. "No no! I swear! Stop!" She screamed, banging on the door over and over.

Suddenly she felt tingly, and then she collapsed in a heap.

Zakuro stood around the stunned café.

"Are you sure?" Ryou asked, eyes slightly alarmed.

Zakuro nodded her head. "She was taken by Kisshu. last night a followed her home and she seems to live in an abandoned apartment. I was worried about her, so I went in to talk to her and she was in Kisshu's arms." Everyone stared at her, shocked.

"What do we do?" Lettuce asked in a small voice.

"We kick their ass next time they come around and demand they bring Ayuta back!" Ichigo said, determined.

Pudding looked out the window. "Na-no-da! There's Kisshu!" She squealed, pointing out the window.

Everyone ran outside, and Kisshu was indeed floating above the café.

"Hello mew mews!" He sang.

With no hesitation they all transformed.

MEW MEW ICHIGO-

MEW MEW MINT-

MEW MEW PUDDING-

MEW MEW LETTUCE-

MEW MEW ZAKURO-

METOMORPHASIS!

They all stared up at Kisshu.

"Return Ayuta to us, and we promise we won't kill you today!" Ichigo shouted.

Kisshu chuckled. "Nope." He floated down a little closer and Pudding was the first to react.

"PUDDING RING INFERNO!" She did a back flip and threw her rings to the ground, and a ring of pudding flew out, but Kisshu veered to the left, avoiding it.

"LETTUCE RUSH!" Lettuce spun around and pointed her weapon at Kisshu and a spray of water shot out. He flew up and smiled at them.

"MINTO ARROW!" Mint pulled back her arrow, and shot it at his heart. Kisshu teleported just a second before it hit him. He reappeared behind Ichigo and grabbed her shoulders.

"AH LET GO!" She squirmed away from him.

"STRAWBERRY BELL!" Her tail bow lit up and a heart with a bell in the center appeared, and she grabbed it with a determined look on her face. "RIBBON STRAWBERRY SURPRISE!" She spun it in a circle and got down; a bunch of sparkles came out. Kisshu teleported again, this time sitting on the café.

"Look, I have a proposition!" He said.

"ZAKURO SPEAR!" A ray of light came out of Zakuros's weapon and ship whipped it at Kisshu. He teleported, but it snagged his leg and pulled him out.

"AHHH!" He shouted.

"You're not going to get away with this!" Zakuro shouted, just before landing a nice punch to his face.

Kisshu landed on the ground. He looked up at the wolf girl. "Screw you! I was offering to return her to you, but now I dunno!" He floated away, annoyed.

Ichigo reached out for him. "Wait Kisshu!" He paused.

"Yes kitten?"

"…You were going to… return her?"

"Yup, we've got your precious mew on our ship, and we won't give her back till you give up!"

Ichigo looked at him, confused. "Mew? She's not a mew mew Kisshu."

Kisshu looked at her hard. "You're lying."

"No she's telling the truth na-no-da!" Pudding bounced next to Ichigo.

Kisshu glared at them. "Dammit!" He hissed just before teleporting.

"KISSHU!" Ichigo screamed, but he was gone. She gripped her strawberry bell in her hands and turned back to her companions. "They thought she was a mew." She said.

Zakuro walked over to Ichigo and put a hand on her shoulder. "We'll get her back, don't worry. She's a strong spirit. She won't give in that easily."

Ichigo covered her face with her bangs. "Yes, she is. We'll get her back no matter what!" She threw her fist in the air.

"Um Zakuro, before Kisshu arrived, you said Ayuta lived in an abandoned apartment."

Zakuro looked down. "It seems she doesn't have a real place to live." She looked up. "Or a family."

Everyone looked at the wolf girl. "Eh?" Mint asked. "How could she not have a family? She said she had to feed them and that's why she stole the food."

"She was lying; she just didn't want us to know she was an orphan."

"Zakuro how do you know this?" Lettuce asked.

Zakuro looked up into the afternoon sky.

FLASHBACK

Zakuro jumped into a nearby tree, watching the girl walk home. She was worried Kisshu might stop by again, so she silently watched the girl.

Ayuta arrived at an old abandoned apartment and slipped inside. Zakuro watched her through a window. The girl traveled up the stairs to the third floor. Zakuro jumped to another tree, to see into her room. Ayuta was sitting on a couch eating. When she finished she headed off to bed. Zakuro continued to watch her, and the girl started tossing around in her sleep. Zakuro was curious, and silently opened the window and stepped inside. The girl was tossing around whispering loudly.

"MOMMY DADDY! WHY WHY WHERE'D YOU GO? COME BACK, PLEASE!" She whispered, sleeping. Zakuro became, sad suddenly understanding. The morning light shone through the window. Zakuro walked out of her room and looked around, seeing a calendar with big red marker on it. She looked at it. "THREE YEARS"

Zakuro raised an eyebrow. "Ayuta, you haven't stayed in this place for three years have you?" She whispered. She saw the circled date, today. "Birthday." It said in small lettering in the square. Zakuro sighed and turned to leave. But out of the corner of her eye she saw a slightly opened cabinet. She walked over to it and opened it. It was nearly empty. Zakuro closed it silently, and then jumped out the window closing it quietly behind her. She jumped to the ground and changed out of mew Zakuro. She walked out to the front of the apartment and waited, ready to confront the girl. After about thirty minutes she heard things crash and yelling. Zakuro rushed into the lobby to find Kisshu holding up the hurt Ayuta.

"AYUTA!" She shouted running for her. Kisshu let out a laugh.

"She's mine now!" He chuckled and then they were gone.

FLASHBACK END

The mews stared at the ground.

"Poor Ayuta…" Lettuce whispered.

Ichigo looked up, fire in her eyes. "We will rescue her, and then we will show her how it feels to have a family!"

"Yes! We will rescue oniichan!" Pudding jumped into the air.

Zakuro nodded, willing to do anything for the girl.
