Pai sighed, and continued looking through secret files on his computer, it asked for a password, he pressed some buttons and it let him through.
"You know, your going to get in trouble for hacking one day" Tart grinned up at the older alien. "Those are governmental files, right?"
"Yes"
"What are you doing?"
"Research"
"On?"
"Isn't there someone else you can annoy? Kish? Anju? … Pudding?"
"I'm not going near that crazy monkey girl! Last time she found me trying to make a chimera anima and she tried hugging me to death! … So what are you doing?"
"Researching Anju"
"Why? She's nothing to do with the mission, or is it possible that your doing something else, not only thinking about the mission?! Wow!"
"You can't tell me you really haven't noticed anything strange about her"
"Well… she's a little weird… but that probably runs in the family, I mean, look at Kish he's always chasing that old hag!"
"I once knew a girl like Anju, she was a 'little weird' too. And she had horns, Anju has, or rather, had horns"
"Anju has horns? Are you going crazy?"
"No, See" Tart looked at the screen, his eyes widen as he saw a picture of Anju looking a little younger, but two pointed horns stuck out of her head.
"What the… heck?"
"Now look at this" Pai said pressing more buttons, a photo of a much younger Hanyuu appeared, she was probably about only twelve and her red hair reached her waist.
"Who's that? Why has she got horns too?"
"This was my best friend when I was younger, Hanyuu. She told me that she was created to be a living weapon, or at least some experiment
"
"Hey, I think I've heard that name before… hmm, isn't Hanyuu the name of that cat toy Anju always carries around?"
"I believe your right, Hanyuu isn't a common name at all, it would be too much of a coincidence that they both have horns, and Anju knows that name"
"They must know each other"
"But Hanyuu died six years ago…"
"Hey, Pai-chan Tar-tar-chan!" Anju yelled running in
"Oh hi" Tart said
"Do you believe in fate?" She asked, the little girl seems troubled and panicky.
"Yes" Pai said, Tart just shrugged his shoulders
"Ok, bye" Anju turned around and headed back into the coridoor, Tart followed her, making sure she didn't see him. She walked into Kish's room.
"Hanyuu, are you in here?" She asked closing the door behind her, Tart sneaked up and looked through the keyhole. He could only see Anju not who she was talking to.
"Hmm?"
"You didn't tell me you know Pai, you can come see him!"
"No!"
"Eh? Why?"
"I… don't …want to"
"But why Han-chan? He's nice"
"He scares me…" Tart decided he couldn't just hide anymore wanting to see this 'Hanyuu'. He pushed the door open, and saw two Anjus, one with red eyes and horns and the other a normal looking blue eyed one. He looked from one girl to another, completely confused.
"Wha…? Two …Anjus?" The girls looked at each other uncomfortably,
"Umm Hey, Tar-tar, why are you here?" Anju asked looking worried
"I wanted to ask you something… Who's you friend… or twin?"
"Well, this is my best friend Hanyuu-chan teeheehee"
"This isn't my true form, so don't freak out or anything. I'm just a shape shifter, ok?" Hanyuu said, her eyes pleading the boy not to scream.
"Hey, PAI!" Tart called, Anju made a startled sound and Hanyuu wanted to kill Tart and charged for him, only to have Anju cling onto her.
"Hanyuu-chan! Don't!" Anju wailed, Pai walked in, and was shocked to say the least, Anju let go of the other girl and made a dash for the door, while white angel like wings grew from Hanyuu's back and she went for the window. Pai easily grabbed the back of Anju's dress holding her up, while her legs wildly moved as if still running. And Tart tackled Hanyuu.
"LET GO OF ME MIDGET!!!!!!!" Hanyuu screamed pulling Tart to the ground and pining him down.
"I'm not a midget! Your smaller than me!" He screeched back trying to claw her.
"I can turn into a dinosaur! I can be way bigger than you!" The girl yelled, Tart rolled on top
"… Teeheeheem hiya Pai-chan, ni ba…" Anju smiled cutely, like a kitten that you've caught going pee pee on your expensive rug and its trying to get out of trouble.
"What's going on?" Pai asked
"Nothing!" Hanyuu cried rolling over to be on top again
"Where's nii-nii?" Anju asked trying and failing to change the subject, which wasn't going to work at all when you have a annoyed Pai holding you inches away from his face and your friend, who looks like some sort of twin or clone of you is fighting Tart.
"What's going on?" Pai asked again
"Tart found Hanyuu?" Anju offered not being able to think of a good lie. Pai tensed and dropped Anju, she made a weird cat like hiss from the floor, which her face had just crashed into.
"Hanyuu?" The older alien boy asked looking at the children rolling around on the floor with Hanyuu still on top trying to strangle Tart, her hands locked around his throat and him gagging. She stopped to look at him, Tart gasped trying to get as much air in as possible.
"Damn, you're a insane sadist" He gasped still lying on the floor, the girls weight holding him down.
"… uhhh… Bye!" She announced quickly and flew to the window, but Pai grabbed her wings and held her to him, ignoring her kicking and screaming. Seeing it was a waste of energy since he was much bigger and stronger, Hanyuu settled for turning around in his grip, his hands supporting her by under her arms, crossed armed and glaring at him, growling bearing her fangs.
"Hanyuu, is it really you?" Pai asked in a small voice.
"Well, I'm not the Easter bunny, am I?" She sighed. Pai hugged her to his chest making her blush.
"I thought you were dead…" He whispered,
"Hmph, it takes more than a little fire to get rid of me!" Hanyuu exclaimed.
"A little fire? You got roasted! There wasn't a single part of you that hadn't been badly burnt!"
"Yeah, well I'm tougher than normal people, but it wasn't exactly nice when the burns sort of started to heal and most of my skin peeled off." Hanyuu muttered, glowing turquoise and grew into her real form. Pai blushed a little, when they had been best friends, she had only been twelve, still a child. She had grown so much and developed a rather attractive body, she was now a beautiful eighteen year old.
Tart, who was standing next to Anju, looked digusted.
"Hey! Put some cloths on!" He yelled, referring to her dress.
"For your information this dress was made for me when I was eleven! Any other clothing would tear when I shape shift! It reacts to my body!" Hanyuu yelled back at him, ready to pounce on him again.
"OW!" Tart cried, once again getting Anju's fist in his stomach.
"… Baka ka… Where's nii-nii?" Anju asked, noticing she hadn't seen him for a while now.
"I think he went to get that old hag or something" Tart sighed rubbing his stomach.
"What time is it?! What day!?" Anju asked panicking.
"Uh, It's Wednesday" Pai said, his mind completely blank still looking at Hanyuu's body. 'Oh god, I'm acting like Kish…" He thought, trying not to think anything perverted. Anju ran out of the door,
'What's gotten into her?' Hanyuu thought, then remembered. 'Is she? She isn't… oh shit'
"ANJU!!!!!" Hanyuu screamed growing wings again and flying after her friend. Anju was at the door of the spaceship opening it, when Hanyuu grabbed her around her waist.
"LET ME GO!!!" Anju screamed, thrashing around.
"NO!! YOUR GONNA GET KILLED!!"
"LET GO!!!"
"I'M NOT LETTING YOU DIE!!!!"
"I HAVE TO SAVE NII-NII!!!"
"NO!!!"
Anju sank her fangs into Hanyuu's arms and she automatically let go. The little girl jumped out of the ship.
Some time before
Kish floated around Tokyo thinking about his kitten, Ichigo. He wanted her badly, but she loved that over perfect human, Aoyama. He would do anything to have her, he had already started to ignore his mission to get her.
When Anju came last week, he had tried to give his love and attention to her, but she always seemed to be hiding something from him, he had wondered if she had more reasons for coming to Earth than just wanting to see him. Probably getting away from all the abuse she got from the other aliens.
FLASHBACKAnju hid behind Kish and Pancake, clinging on her brother while a crowed of angry people yelled at them.
"YOU MONSTER! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!"
"She's doomed us all!"
"KILL THE DEMON!!!!" One man yelled bringing out a sword charging at the trio managed to flying over Pancake tried going for Anju but only sliced her cheek, Kish summoned his dragon swords and locked the man's sword between his weapons.
"Ok, brake it up, the last thing we need is people killing each other" A woman in her early thirties with chest length light green hair and amber eyes wearing a light blue dress, glared at everyone as she walked over to Anju.
"But-" a woman was about to protest but she shut up after another death glare and the crowed left.
"Thanks Mayu" Kish sighed putting away his swords.
"No problem, I just can't let them hurt my adorably niece." Mayu smiled using a handkerchief to wipe the blood trickling down Anju's face.
END FLASHBACK
But he decided he was going to see her, and try again to make her see that she should be his. He teleported outside her bedroom window, a smile appeared on his face when he saw her lying on her bed doing homework. She sat up stretching her arms out sighing. He took his chance teleported in behind her and wrapped his arms around her small waist. Ichigo's body tensed but she didn't scream or try to hit him. Kish snuggled into the back of her neck happily.
"Hi, Kish" Ichigo murmured feeling a little uncomfortable, but loved the way his body on hers felt. She turned around in his hold but didn't look at his face. She could feel him muzzling into her hair.
"You smell nice…" Kish commented, making Ichigo blush. He gently held her chin in his hands and tilted her head slightly. She knew what he was doing, and didn't mind, he pressed his lips against hers in a loving kiss.
"Ichigo?! What is he doing here?!" They looked up to see Aoyama, fuming with rage.
"I told you to stay away from me!" Ichigo screamed at him, Kish watched rather pleased, Ichigo must of broken up with him! This was his chance to get her! Aoyama transformed into the Blue knight and summoned his sword and went for Kish.
"NO!!!!!" Ichigo screamed and transformed into Mew Ichigo.
"STRAWBERRY SURPRISE!!!!" She yelled and the pink light hit Aoyama, he attacked her and knocked her into the wall, she slumped to the ground not moving.
"ICHIGO!!!" Kish yelled, then glared at the Blue knight, he already had his dragon swords in his hands.
"ANJU!!! PLEASE STOP!!!" Hanyuu screamed flying through the air, with Anju about a mile ahead giving no sign of stopping anytime soon. Pai and Tar flew after them, it was very hard to teleport when the target was moving, and it turns out that Anju can fly really, really fast.
She started heading downwards, for Ichigo's house and smashed through the window hardly noticed the cuts from the glass, talk about right on time. The Blue knight stood over a weak and defeated Kish holding his sword above the alien boy. Anju moved towards them.
When Hanyuu, Pai and Tart reached the house the mews came running up the street, Ryou's computer must of picked up Ichigo's tranformation signal. They heard a high-pitched scream echo through the house.
"Ichigo!" Mint cried and they ran into the house, up the stairs and burst through the door. What they found, wasn't what they had expected. The aliens flew in through the window and stared in horror.
Kish, still on the floor, eyes went wide, he was soaked in blood, but it wasn't his. Anju stood between him and the Blue knight, facing her brother, with the Blue knight's sword through her chest. Probably going straight through her lungs. The girl just stood there with a blank face as blood dripped from her mouth. The Blue knight pushed her off and she fell down, Kish caught her, her head resting against his chest. Her body was completely limp, her only movement was her chest slowly rising and fallen slightly as she tried to breath, which after a was very hard since her throat and lungs were filling up with blood. So her body did the obvious, so tried to turn her head away but failed, and started coughing out the red liquid onto Kish. Anju could feel Kish shaking and sobbing.
"…I-..I'm … cold…" The little girl murmured, hardly audible, Kish wrapped his arms around her small frame, trying to keep her warm. He felt she was losing heat, and therefore, losing energy rapidity. She was so cold and tired she just wanted to sleep.
"…I hate… this…It's s-so c-col..d…" Anju moaned again, Hayuu looked at Pai and Tart, the older looked on with a blank face and the younger was silently crying. She walked over and couched next to the two on the floor.
"Anju-chan… please stay awake… look, here's kitty-chan" Hanyuu sobbed trying to stop the tears, resting the cat toy under Anju's freezing cold arm. The little girl didn't seem to have noticed it or heard what she said. But it was still warm from Hanyuu's arms so she moved it a little closer.
The sad fact was, that Anju had no idea about her surroundings or was aware of all the people in the room were staring at her, she wasn't even sure what she was being held by anymore, all she knew was that her chest hurt like hell and she was really cold. She was hardly conscious, and had lost her senses … who knows how long ago, it seemed like hours to her. Her body just reacted on instincts now, it was like her mind was dead, she huddled against the warm body holding her, then she did then next thing her body wanted. Sleep.
Kish's head rested on Anju's with tears running down his face, he noticed her chest had stopped moving, she wasn't breathing. He moved her forward a little feeling for a pulse, nothing. His little sister was dead.
Ichigo, who had just awoken, strawberry blasted Aoyama out of the window and he went flying into the sky. Pai walked over to Kish.
"Let's go home" He suggested. Kish nodded and the aliens teleported to the ship. But before they did Ichigo grabbed onto Tart, seeing as he was nearer. And went with them.
Two hours later, Pai had buried himself in work, Hanyuu sat watching him holding her knees to her chest crying, Tart had cried himself to sleep and Kish sat in his room, still clinging to Anju's freezing body. He cradled her to his chest stroking her hair. Ichigo sneaked in and sat next to him. Pai came in.
"Hey, Kish… I'll take her, you just get some rest" He saw the younger boy's grip tighten, not wanting to let go.
"Come on, you can't just sit there forever…" Pai said trying to reason with him. Kish looked at him, his eyes filled with grief and nodded. Pai picked up Anju, looked at Ichigo but didn't say anything and left. Kish curled up on the bed hugging the cat toy. Ichigo moved nearer and placed his head on her lap, stroking his face gently and he began to cry again.
Hanyuu mindlessly wandered through the corridors, she couldn't help but think that this was her fault.
"I should of tried harder to help her, she told me she would die and she was right. But even so she still went there, knowing she would die… I wish I could go back and stop this…" She wailed, rubbing her eyes. There was a blinding white light and then it disappeared.
'What the heck?' She thought nothing else seemed different.
"There you are!" She turned around to see Anju smiling at her, holding her cat toy. "I've been looking for you! What are you doing here?" Hanyuu ran at the other girl and pulled her into a big hug.
"Your not dead! Thank goodness"
"Ni ba…? What are you talking about Han-chan? Did you hit your head or something?"
"You died! I saw it! Everyone saw it!"
"Did all that sake I drank make you drunk? Sorry" Anju said, with a guilty face.
"Eh? sake?" Hanyuu asked confused
"Remember, I went and saw that ugly kitty nii-nii likes and I drank a ton of sake cause you were annoying me?"
"… That was Monday though…"
"Hanyuu-chan, it is Monday" Anju said ad she gave her friend a weird, are you crazy look.
'…Monday? … That means I've gone back two days?!' Hanyuu thought
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cybil kitty- dun, dun duuuunnnnn! Muahahahah!
Kish- so lets get this straight, Anju died and Hanyuu went back in time?
Cybil kitty- Yup! She can change everything now! …Or will things just end up even worse? You have to review to find out! ni ba! By the way, this was my first time writing a sad death scene, teehee!
