Lost and Found Chapter 5:

Cyniclonia

Another five hours passed, and everyone was getting kind of bored, when they felt the ship get bumpy. "Feels like we're almost there," Kisshu said.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, they felt the ship bump, and eventually stop moving. About five minutes later, Pai teleported in and said, "We're here. Leave your things for now; we can get them later."

Kisshu and the others got up, and followed Pai out to the main room. Taruto was there, and he asked, "Can we go now?"

"Yes," Pai said. He walked to a wall, and pressed a button. The floor opened up, and he motioned to the others, who followed him out.

To their surprise, only a few people were waiting. Most of them were middle-aged or elderly, but one of them, a man with brown hair, was about the age of Mrs. Yanagida. Kisshu, Pai, and Taruto bowed as the man came up to them, and said, "It's good to see everyone got here safely. Did you bring the Mew Aqua?"

"Hai," Pai said. He opened the box, and said, "This is what we have."

"That's an amazing amount," the man said. He looked over at the girls and Mrs. Yanagida, and said, "I'm sorry, I should have introduced myself. I'm Tsukimori Hideki, known as Hideki-sama to my people."

"It's nice to meet you," Ichigo said. "I'm Ichigo."

"You as well," Hideki said. He looked over at Moe, Miwa, and Mrs. Yanagida, and then went over. "Yume, it's been a long time," he said softly.

"It's been way too long," Mrs. Yanagida said. "These are our daughters, Moe and Miwa. And you're extremely lucky you didn't have to go through all the parent-teacher conferences that I did. Not to mention they got suspended almost weekly."

Hideki laughed. "I was like that too- but I didn't get suspended that often," he said. "What'd you two do?"

"Beat everyone who hurt Ichigo into a pulp," Moe said. "Anyone who hurts Ichigo will go down in flames. We don't care if they've got weapons."

"You two are a handful," Mrs. Yanagida said dryly. "But it definitely helped Ichigo a lot, so I put up with it until your principal finally gave up on you two, and decided to stop punishing you."

"I hope you don't have to beat up too many people here," Hideki said.

"If they don't hurt Ichigo, we won't hurt them," Miwa said.

"Good," Hideki said. "Yume, we should catch up later, alright?"

"Sure, as long as we actually get to catch up," Mrs. Yanagida said.

"Of course, it's just that we need to heal the planet and talk to the Council before we actually get some time off," Hideki said.

Mrs. Yanagida nodded, and Hideki smiled at her before turning to Pai and asking, "How do you propose we heal the planet?"

"Mew Aqua is used by pushing it into the person or thing that needs to be restored, and activated by the one using it's desire," Pai said. "If we push some into the ground, it should restore the planet."

"Alright," Hideki said. "Would you like to do the honors?"

"If you don't mind," Pai said.

"Go ahead," Hideki said.

Pai took the Mew Aqua out of the box, then put his hands over it. To the others' surprise, the lot of it fused together. "Kisshu, Taruto, let's combine our powers and make the Mew Aqua more powerful," he said.

Kisshu and Taruto came over and each put a hand on the large ball of Mew Aqua. Then they pushed it into the ground. The ground itself began to glow, the glow spreading out until everything as far as the eye could see was glowing. Then the glow got brighter and bright till everyone was shading their eyes, and flashed.

When everyone opened their eyes, they were awed. They were standing in the middle of a large field of flowers. A river was nearby, as was a forest. Looking behind them, their jaws dropped. "There's a town?" Pai asked.

"Well, our records say that there were ruins above ground when we reached this planet; maybe the Mew Aqua restored that town," Hideki said.

"Should we go check it out?" Kisshu asked.

"Not right now," Hideki said. "Everyone is waiting underground for news; it wouldn't be fair to keep them waiting."

"Alright," Kisshu said. "Are we going now?"

"Hai," Hideki said. He led the way to an opening in the ground, and went down, followed by the others. Sure enough, there was a large crowd of Cyniclons waiting. Hideki called, "The planet has been restored! Come and see!"

Everyone cheered, and followed Hideki outside. As soon as they came outside, there were several gasps, and more cheering. Cyniclons started to run around in the field as an older Cyniclon man came up to Hideki, who was standing with Mrs. Yanagida. "Hideki-sama, I suppose you have a reason for inviting humans here?" he asked.

"I thought I already explained that," Hideki said.

"You said Mew Ichigo was coming, you didn't mention the others," the man said.

Hideki sighed. "I suppose you remember what happened after I came back from Earth?" he asked.

"All too well; your father blew his top," the man said. "What of it?"

"I was never brainwashed," Hideki said. "I played along after they brought me back, letting them tell you that I had been brainwashed, but that was a lie. I had no intention of being killed by my father, and hoped that this would be sufficient excuse not to be named leader after his death. Unfortunately, I STILL got appointed leader, and was unable to go back to Earth and find Yume, the only woman I ever loved. You and the other members of the Council must have noticed that I absolutely refused to get married, right?"

"Hai," the man said.

"Pai called me yesterday, and told me that Kisshu had found two half-Cyniclon girls on Earth, and when they asked their mother who their father was, their mother gave my name," Hideki said. "Before I got dragged back here, Yume was expecting twins. Unfortunately, I never got to see my daughters grow up, but now that I've met them, and seen Yume again, I've decided I'm not going to let anything separate us again."

The man sighed. "What about their lives on Earth?" he asked.

"We were going to nag Mom into letting us stay anyways," Moe said. "Now we might not have to give her a headache!"

"The girls don't have any friends besides Ichigo and Kisshu, this might be for the best," Mrs. Yanagida said. "And now they'll have their father around as well as just me."

The man groaned. "I'll start working things out," he sighed. "But you're the one who gets to explain what happened on Earth."

"I knew that was coming," Hideki said. "Thank you, Koni."

"Of course," Koni said. He left, muttering under his breath.

"I hope us being here won't be a problem," Mrs. Yanagida said.

"Koni's just a worrywart," Hideki said. "He's the head of the Council, and very well respected, though, so it shouldn't be too hard for him to convince people that you're all staying and aren't going to be a problem."

"Thanks," Mrs. Yanagida said.

Hideki smiled, but that faded, and he looked serious. "Yume, there's something I wanted to ask you, but I was taken back here before I could," he said.

"What is it?" Mrs. Yanagida asked.

Hideki took a box out of his pocket, and then went down on one knee. Opening the box, he asked, "Yanagida Yume, will you marry me?"

Mrs. Yanagida began to cry as she said, "Yes!"

Hideki took her hand, and slid a slim gold band with a heart-shaped diamond on it onto her right ring finger, and said, "You just made me very happy, Yume."

The others started clapping as Hideki said, "I bought this ring on Earth, and I was going to ask you, but then I got dragged back here. I kept the ring all this time, though. I'm glad I did."

"I can't wait till I'm old enough to do that…." Kisshu said.

"Kish? How old am I?" Ichigo asked.

"You're thirteen," Kisshu said. "And I'm fourteen, so we've got a while to wait- unfortunately."

"How long?" Ichigo asked.

"You have to be eighteen to get married," Hideki told her. "So five years from now."

"Lots of time to plan," Ichigo said.

"That's a good way to look at it," Pai said. "Unlike Kisshu, who appears to be sulking."

Ichigo looked, and giggled. "Kish, you're so CUTE!" she said.

Hideki smiled and asked, "Ichigo, have you remembered anything yet?"

"No," Ichigo said.

"I used that technique on her," Pai said. "Moe and Miwa told us that she had been going into depression before she lost her memory, and they thought that it wasn't a good idea to have Ichigo go back to that. They were worried she was going to commit suicide. Ichigo said it was fine, so I used the technique that will ensure she never gets her memories back."

"If you don't mind my asking, what exactly happened with her parents?" Hideki asked.

"They started leaving Ichigo home alone for weeks at a time when she was twelve," Miwa said. "They never said goodbye, and they just left her a bunch of money for food. It got to the point where they were only home about two days a month, and at that point, Moe and I started spending a lot of time at Ichigo's house to make sure she didn't kill herself. She was crying herself to sleep every night, and Moe and I started sleeping in her room on the floor almost every night."

"Her parents came back a few days ago, and we beat them up," Moe continued. "They said they wouldn't leave anymore, but Miwa said she didn't trust them, and since Miwa's more sensitive than I am, we went and told Ichigo that living with Kisshu was a better idea. They're in love anyways, so it didn't make sense to separate them. We think this will make Ichigo happy."

"Kish makes me happy," Ichigo said.

"Thanks Koneko-chan," Kisshu said happily. "You make me happy too."

Ichigo smiled. Suddenly a young woman ran up to them, bowed, and said, "You've all been called to meet with the Council!"

"Thank you," Hideki said. "Are they in the usual room?"

"Hai, follow me," the young woman said.

The group followed her back underground, and through a tunnel to a large cavern with carved stone benches around a circular flat area. The benches were all occupied by Cyniclons, all of whom were older than Hideki. In the front row was Koni, and he stood when he saw them. "Thank you, Kia, you may go," he said. The young woman bowed and left.

Koni sighed and said, "Hideki-sama, we've called you and the others here to talk about what will happen now. As per your request, I have told the Council that Yume, Moe, Miwa, and Ichigo are all staying here on Cyniclonia. Some members have a few questions for the girls, however, and I agreed."

"Alright," Hideki said. He turned to Ichigo, Moe, and Miwa, and asked, "Are you okay with that?"

"Sure," Miwa said. "We'll probably have to answer for Ichigo, though."

"That's fine," Hideki said. He turned back to the Council and asked, "What did you wish to ask them?"

A Cyniclon woman stood and said, "It's just about their powers. We would like to know what these girls can do."

"Okay," Miwa said. "Moe and I have some shared abilities, but we also each have one thing the other can't do. Both of us can fly, teleport, go through people's minds, and summon a weapon. We both have swords, and they both have the same ability; shooting fire blasts at people. We haven't learned much about them, though, because we prefer hand-to-hand fighting."

"What are your individual abilities?" Koni asked.

"I can heal," Miwa said.

"I can summon anything to me," Moe said. "Like if I need something from home and I'm at Ichigo's, I can summon it to me."

"That's not very common," Koni commented. "Are you able to send the item back?"

"No," Moe said. "That would have come in handy that time I somehow managed to summon Ichigo….."

"That sounds like a different ability," Kisshu said. "Summoning items is one thing, but if you focus on someone hard enough, you can teleport that person to you, even though you're not touching them."

"Oh…." Moe said.

"Ichigo, what are your abilities?" Koni asked.

"I don't know," Ichigo said.

"Ichigo has amnesia," Miwa said. "Ichigo, do you have your pendant with you?"

"You mean the yellow thing?" Ichigo asked.

"Yeah," Miwa said.

"It's in my suitcase," Ichigo said. "I didn't know what it was for, but I thought if it was in my pocket, it must be important, so I kept it with me. What is it?"

"It's for transforming into your Mew form," Moe said. She turned back to the Council and said, "The Mews' weapons were created specifically for use on Chimera Animas and Cyniclons. Ichigo's attack is the most powerful of all the Mews, so it's better if she doesn't use it. In human form, she still has cat reflexes and instincts, so she could probably learn to use another weapon if need be."

"The three of us can all use telepathy as well," Miwa said. "We might have to teach Ichigo how to again, but she should still be able to use it."

Koni nodded, and looked over at Yume. "Yume, are you able to use any powers?" he asked.

"I can use telepathy, but that's it," Yume said. Everyone's jaws dropped.

How come Yume can use telepathy? Find out by reviewing, and hopefully I'll have more out soon!
