Hurt Chapter 15:

Deep Blue, and Fighting

Masabaka's POV (yuck)

Why did it turn out this way? Masabaka thought angrily. Now Ichigo has someone else, and I'm on the run from the police!

Do you want revenge? I can help you kill Ichigo's new boyfriend. A voice sounded in Masabaka's head, and he looked around wildly. "Who's there?"

The voice said, I am a part of you. You may call me Deep Blue.

Deep Blue? Masabaka thought.

Yes. I know Ichigo's boyfriend quite well, and I hate him too. Give me control of this body, and I promise, Ichigo will soon be yours.

If I so much as go near Ichigo, she'll call the police, Masabaka pointed out.

I'll make sure she doesn't. Besides, don't you want revenge on the one who took her away from you?

Who is this guy, anyways? Masabaka thought.

His name is Kisshu. He's one of the aliens attacking Tokyo.

WHAT!

Oh, so Ichigo didn't tell you she's a Mew Mew? They know each other quite well.

How could she keep that secret from me?

You sound angry. Would you like to kill her as well? Give me control, and I'll help you out, Deep Blue said coaxingly.

Masabaka thought, then said, Well, I'm already wanted by the police. I suppose at this rate, it couldn't hurt.

Very well. Masabaka's eyes began to glow. A blue light surrounded him, and he transformed into Deep Blue. Aoyama Masaya had ceased to exist.

Back at the Café, Keiichiro's POV

I'm amazed at the way the girls came up with this, Keiichiro thought. Much as I hate to admit it, Ryou's been wrong the whole time, and Lettuce was right.

Normal POV

Everyone was surprised when Keiichiro spoke. "I think Lettuce is right," he said. "We should have thought of this earlier. Then we wouldn't have had to put you girls in so much danger.

Ryou was starting to look like a fish out of water. When he found his voice, however, he snarled, "Why is everyone against me? Can't you see that these aliens are monsters? All they do is attack you. And Ichigo, I don't understand how you could be so stupid as to fall in love with that jerk!"

He failed to notice Ichigo turning red.

Ichigo's POV

How could he say that? Ichigo fumed as Ryou said that the aliens were monsters. When he came around to saying that Ichigo was stupid, though, she completely lost it.

"KISSHU IS NOT A JERK!" Ichigo screamed. "The aliens aren't monsters; in fact the only monster I see here is you, Ryou! And FOR YOUR INFORMATION, the Cyniclons are people too! If you weren't a selfish, racist JERK, you would see that for yourself. But NO, you're too bent on revenge for your parents, and you're living in the past! If you won't give us the Mew Aqua for the aliens, then we'll find your hiding place and take it ourselves! Before that, though, I think we should tie you up so you can't interfere! And furthermore, if you think you can tell me who I can and can't fall in love with, you've got another thing coming, baka! If you thought that I would ever fall in love with YOU, you were dead wrong! I hate your guts, Ryou, and as the leader of Tokyo Mew Mew, I am giving the Cyniclons the Mew Aqua whether you like it or not!"

Ryou's POV

For the third time that day, Ryou was left speechless. Ichigo was actually scaring him this time. He usually could handle her temper by laughing it off, but this time was different. Ichigo was really steamed. As usual, however, he had no common sense, so he said, "You'll never find the Mew Aqua, so you can't give it to those jerks."

Zakuro's POV

Though she hid it better than Ichigo and Lettuce, Zakuro was steaming too. Just by looking at Mint and Pudding, she saw that they might burst soon too. The Cyniclons were keeping it together, but she had no doubt that if Ryou went on much longer like this, they too would lose it.

Not wanting that to happen, Zakuro cut in before Ichigo could kill Ryou, and said, "Ryou, give it up. You can't win here. Let it go!"

"No," Ryou said firmly. "I thought you of all of us would be more sensible than that, Zakuro."

Zakuro slapped him across the face as hard as she could, and shouted, "Wake the hell up and stop acting like a child, Ryou! You've lost and you know it, so either give us the Mew Aqua, or like Ichigo said, get tied up while we find it."

Ryou looked shocked; Zakuro seemed not to care that the others were looking at her in awe. She was, however, aware that she was acting totally different. Zakuro was normally calm and in control, but Ryou was really starting to irk her. Why couldn't he see that this was the best course of action, for both their races?

Suddenly a thought occurred to her, and she asked, "Was creating Tokyo Mew Mew really to save the world, Ryou? Or did you find out Cyniclons were coming to Earth and created us to get your revenge? Because if that's the case, we should just abandon you. If that's true, you ruined our lives for no reason, and you should probably be in jail."

To her surprise, Ryou actually responded to this somewhat calmly. "Fine, I created you girls for two reasons. One was to save the world from them"- he nodded towards the Cyniclons- "and the other reason was to get revenge for my parents' death."

Keiichiro's POV

Keiichiro was shocked by this confession. How could he? Ryou was putting these girls in danger for his own private vendetta? The others, he saw were just as shocked, but they were also about ready to blow. He quickly moved far away from Ryou, so he wouldn't be in the way.

This could get messy.

Well, that's torn it. Ryou is now in deep trouble. If anyone wants him still alive by the end of the story, they'd better review fast.
