5. The Truth

When Mint rang the doorbell, it took a while for Masaya to answer. When he finally did, he looked surprised to see Mint standing there. He said, "Hey Mint. What's up? Why are you here?" Mint looked at her feet before she said, "Can…can I come in?" When Masaya didn't say anything, Mint said, "I'll make it quick, I promise." Masaya finally said, "Okay, come in." Mint came in and joined Masaya on the couch and sighed. How am I going to tell him? She finally said, "Masaya, this is difficult to say and I'm sorry to be the one to have to tell you this. Ichigo is-" Masaya stood up, a worried look on his face, and suddenly said, cutting off Mint, "What's wrong with Ichigo?" Mint said, "Well before I tell you, you should sit back down." He sat down and she continued with a deep breath. "Ichigo was supposed to stay home tonight, alone. Ryou called Ichigo to see what time she was going to come to work tomorrow but, she didn't answer her cell. The girls and I went to go check on her, but she wasn't there. We searched high and low. We only found her phone and some weird dust. We brought what we found back to Café Mew Mew. Keiichiro brought up a recording from Ichigo's phone, and on it, we saw…" She turned away, unable to look Masaya in the eyes. He looked at her and raised his voice as he said, "What? What did you see? Tell me!" She looked back at him and sighed before she dared to speak again. "When we watched the recording, we saw Kish. And he… kidnapped Ichigo." She sighed very heavily. The worst is over she thought.

Masaya looked up and it took a minute for him to answer. He said, "Where is Ichigo now?" Mint stared at him and said, "On Kish's home planet, Tenashu." He thought a minute and then he suddenly stood up and started walking toward the door. Mint said, "Where are you going?" He stopped with his hand on the doorknob. He sighed and said, "I will get the power to save my one and only love." Mint asked, "But what about your trip? What if your plan takes longer than tonight?" Masaya sighed deeper than before and said, "It can wait. I'll put everything on hold for my one true love Ichigo. Wait here, I'll be back soon." He walked out, leaving Mint to think and wait.
