Chapter 16~ A battle in the dark

Ayuta stood there stunned at his closeness. She froze, she suddenly didn't know how to attack, all her boldness drained out of her. Frightened, she took a step back. He swiftly grabbed her wrist and she yelped as he tightened grip.

"What's wrong? I just saw you kick Pai's ass, what now you can't fight me?" he whispered darkly. She felt the hair on the back of her neck stand up as he gave her a fangy smirk.

He reached up towards her neck and she sucked in a breath. He gently held her mew pendent. "It's still black, doesn't that mean i can still control you?" he murmured to her. She shook her head side to side and he released her wrist and put his hands on either side of her face. "Exactly, because your strong! I admire that strength in you, so be that fierce girl that i love." he whispered and leaned in to kiss her. She was stunned, not knowing what to do. He neared her lips and she flew her hand up to smack the side of his head with her scepter.

He stumbled back releasing her and she held her honey scepter in front of her, ready to fight again. She didn't have the burning fire she had before but she had the will to fight.

He looked up her with a twisted smile. "That's what I'm talking about." he hissed happily and summoned his sais.

"I'm not doing this for you you creep!" she yelled. "There are people i have to protect!" and the image of Zakuro slipped into her head. She bit back sobs and gripped her weapon. Kisshu threw his head back and let out a loud childish laugh.

He looked at her again, humor filling his features. "You're so funny Hachi-chan." he said then charged her.

"We have to find her." Mint whispered. "She went after Kisshu." The mourning mews looked her. It had come to her earlier, she had a battle to finish and she wouldn't stop until it was done. Ayuta was determined, but she wasn't all that sturdy looking after the Pai battle. Would she be able to defeat Kisshu?

Mint placed her fingers over Zakuro's still eyes and slowly closed them. "Goodbye, oneechan." she whispered. The mews sobbed over the girl, unable to stop the aching in their hearts.

The sunset was fading, a dark purple and blue stretching out, grabbing onto anything it could to try and keep the blackness of night from overtaking the sky.

Mint stood up. "Let's go." she said sternly, a new need filling her broken heart. It spilled out of the cracks and leaked into her stomach, filling her up with a need. A need to avenge her fallen sister.

Keiichiro paced in the lab. "The day's almost over, where are they?" he mumbled.

"Keiichiro! Zakuro's signal disappeared!"

"What?" Keiichiro ran next to Ryou who was sitting at the computer, his face illuminated by the green screen.

"It just stopped a while ago, i was making sure it wasn't a glitch but now I'm sure! Something happened!" Ryou said wordily. Keiichiro looked at the screen, shocked.

"What the hell's going on down there?" Keiichiro whispered, staring at the moving dots that were the other mews.

Ayuta jumped to the left swiftly avoiding the attack and took a swipe with her scepter but he ducked and tried cutting her across her stomach. She flew back, and then fluttered up above him. "QUEEN BEE REVENGE!" She shouted pointing her scepter down towards him. He teleported as the beam made a huge hole in the ground.

"Miss me miss me now you got to kiss me!" he teased from behind her. She flew down as he jerked his dagger forward where her back used to be. She grabbed his feet and stopped flying, pulling him down with her. He grunted and attempted to lift them both up but only tired himself out more. She pulled him down then at the last second flung him down and flew up. He hit the ground hard, his sais flying out of his hands. He stayed on the ground face down, and Ayuta panted exhausted. It was dusk, and she had to finish him off before night time came. She lifted her scepter and called out.

"QUEEN BEE REVENGE!" nothing happened. Ayuta gasped and tried again. Still, the scepter did nothing. Then it disappeared, and Ayuta realized she had used all the mew aqua. "Oh no!" she mumbled. She looked back down at Kisshu but he had disappeared.

"Shit!" she hissed sharply, looking around her.

The mews ran as fast as they could, trying to find Ayuta.

"Ayuta!" Mint yelled, flying off the ground.

"It's dark, we won't find her!" Lettuce panted.

Mint growled and gripped her mint arrow.

"We need to find her!" she yelled and held her weapon up.

"MINTO ARROW!" she did a twirl then pulled back on her bow and released. A ray of light shot out, Mint shot it at a tree and reached up to grab it. She pulled it out and held the glowing stick, before is disappeared. "Dammit, i thought that would work." she hissed.

Ichigo held up her strawberry bell. "RIBBON STRAWBERRY CHECK!" She shouted and the forest lit up. Very shortly, so short Mint could have imagined it, she saw a flying Ayuta in the distance.

"There!" Mint ran towards were she saw her, the others stumbling after her.

A bright light illuminated the forest, and Ayuta was temporarily blinded. She rubbed her eyes and opened them again; it was still hard to see because of the dammed dark. Ayuta tried again. "KISSHU! Come out you friken coward!"

This time someone answered her.

"Coward?" he chuckled. His voice came from all around, she couldn't pinpoint where it came from. "Why darling, I'm not a coward! I have nothing to be scared of! You have no weapon and you're blind."

"Then fight me!" she shouted. "FURY DAGGER!" she shouted but her weapon did not appear. "Damn it all! Its back by the tree!" she inwardly thought.

"See what I mean?" he said sympathetically. She growled.

"Fight me! I'll fight you with my body!" she stated.

"Hmm but i would really hate to ruin your beautiful body..." he mused.

"I hate you! Why won't you just fight me? I have to defeat you! You have to leave and never come back because people are getting harmed because of you! People i care about!" she ranted, frustrated tears slipping out of her eyes. "Why... Why won't you fight... Me?" she floated to the ground and fell onto her hands and knees, the complete exhaustion and feelings crushing down on her. Ayuta fought it, she knew if she collapsed now he'd win. She felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Just go to sleep. I'll take you back with me and Pai will adjust your mew pendent and well live happily ever after." He whispered into her ear. She felt more tears slip out.

"N-No!" she stammered.

The mews could now hear Kisshu and Ayuta. Mint stopped and listened she lifted her bow at the sound of Kisshu's voice.

"Too bad!"

"MINTO ARROW!" she spun around then pulled back on her bow, releasing it a shot of light came out. It shot through Kisshu's lower chest. She heard him gasp and fall over.

"Ayuta?" Lettuce ran up to the half-conscious mew.

"Hey Lettuce, is Zakuro ok?" Ayuta asked, about to slip into sleep. Lettuce held back sobs as her heart constricted.

"I'm not... Done yet!" Mint heard a determined growl and saw light. It was coming from Kisshu's crossed sai's.

"NO!" Mint screamed as it shot out of his daggers and headed straight for Ayuta.

newmew: uh oh Ayuta's screwed!

Kisshu: for real? That's a mean way to end the story...

newmew: Says the guy who's the one trying to kill her...

Kisshu: details details...

Ichigo: YES IM OUT! *kicks Kisshu in the nuts*

Kisshu: XO *falls over*
