Yay, i updated! I would've done it sooner, but i had writer's block (That's a bad excuse, i always have writer's block XD)

I've also had a lot of homework, so that has done my head in badly. I've just finished my art homework and i'm not pleased with it. Our subject is body adornment and i hate it. I want to draw Manga! I drew a picture of InuYasha on my art folder and everyone liked it, so i'm happy with that, and i've made a bet with ginge. He says that his folder will be better than mine, but everyone is saying that his won't compete with my InuYasha.

My friends have been acting stranger this year, another reason why i took longer to update. They're all being bitchy with each other over a lad who went to my primary. My mate dated him for nearly two tears, and she finished him. She's got herself a new lad and he's got himself a new girl, but everyone thinks that he still likes her. Another of my friends got dumped by her boyfriend, who fancies one of my other mates. She likes him back, but his ex is really jealous over their flirtatious ways (I shouldn't be saying this because she's started to go on this site and if she reads this she'll go mad...oh well XD).

Thanks to my reviewers:

Usagiki1234 - i would hate for my science teacher to look like him...

michikoneko - here are the answers to your questions:

1. i don't know. I'm a depressing person, so i like writing about pain. (Lol how emo XD)

2. I actually got the name Sakura from a friend who was helping me with a story on quizilla. I didn't watch Naruto then so i didn't know about the Sakura from Naruto. So i got it from there as well.

3. Sakura translates to Cherry Blossom/Cherry Tree.

And last, but certainly not least Lerryn

Well i've talked enough so enjoy Chapter Ten x

Chapter Ten: A Blurred Vision

Ryou took a deep breath before answering. "I lost my family."

Not again, not the tears. They must've hated my eyes, otherwise they would not want to leave them every single second of the day. Or it could be the fact that I am so emotional and cry at most things, like Titanic. I may not of understood the language, but it still made me cry.

"How?" I asked, my tone full of guilt. I shouldn't have asked him about his parent's death. Maybe he was trying to forget it.

Ryou turned his head away from my gaze. "They died in a house fire."

"I'm sorry." I said looking down. I decided not to ask him to go into detail, it was not my business to ask.

I heard Ryou stand up with one swift movement. "Don't be." And with that, he walked down the hallway.

I looked up as I heard his bedroom door shut. I also needed to enter my room, I couldn't exactly sleep on the hallway floor, well I could, but it would be very uncomfortable. I gained a light grip on the door handle as I swung the door open before standing up. I tightened my grip as I entered my room.

Kisshu was gone. The window was still open, presenting a cool breeze to me. I staggered over to it, the breeze missing my skin by inches. I placed my fingertips on the open window, looking down at the park and the streets in front of me. I sighed, my breath fogging up the window glass. I felt slightly confused with my life. Why was bad things happening to me? Why couldn't I enjoy a simple life? How come every time something good happens in my life, it has to get ruined by a stupid and worthless memory? Why couldn't I enjoy the moment I had with Kisshu without reminding myself of the rape?

A single tear rolled down my cheek as I replayed the intimate moment I wanted to enjoy with Kisshu. He tried to cheer me up, and I shunned him. I regret that. I regret pushing him away. I regret remembering Garu. I just wanted Kisshu to appear by my side and embrace me in a protective and comforting hug. I'm not sure why I keep thinking about Kisshu like I love him, maybe I do love him. I'm not so sure. I'm not sure about many things at the moment. My brain hurts too much to think about those kind of things.

I ran fingers along the foggy patch on the window glass. I missed my life before I had found out about the Mew Mews and that I was one. I was never one to think about heroes like Superman and Spiderman. I was more into fantasy things like Harry Potter and Lord Of The Rings. I remembered, as a child, I used to practise my reading skills by reading these books as bedtime stories to Lini. She loved it when I read to her. Mother couldn't read, she was dyslexic, so I could never get permission to go on school trips or miss a lesson of P E.

I gripped the window handle as I yawned lightly. I was tired and I was sure that I had to go to school the next day. When I was in Mito, I didn't keep track of the calendar. I just dubbed the day as 'Day 6 in my new life' and the number changed whenever I started a new day. I was curious as to know what day it would be the next day. If I did have to go to school, I wonder what Ichigo had told everyone on where I was? Did she tell them that I had run away? Did she mention me getting stabbed? What did she tell them? I had been absent for over three months, people were bound to talk.

I let out a sigh as I closed my window, blocking the breeze from reaching me. I shuffled over to my bed and threw myself on top of it. I sighed with content as I closed my eyes and began to slowly drift in to a light and satisfying sleep.

I fluttered my eyes open as the sunlight shined on them. I had forgotten to block the windows so the light couldn't get through and wake me up. I enjoyed my sleep, especially my sleep in this bed. It was so comfy, it felt like I was resting on a feathery cloud up in heaven.

My arm flew to the side of me so I could help myself up. I sat up on the bed as a hand flew to my head. A thumping sensation began in my head. I think it was because I sat up too quickly. I crawled off the bed and walked over to the window. I stood still as I saw my reflection through the window. My hair was scruffy and knotty, but I had no hair brush to untangle them. I scowled as I left the room in a huff, only to walk into something, or someone.

"Sorry." I said in case I bumped into someone. I couldn't see a thing, it was like my eyes were glazed over with glue.

I staggered to the stairs, my balance uneven. My muscles ached for some unknown reason and my stomach felt uneasy. I descended the stairs as I blinked my eyes to clear my vision, it wasn't working.

"Sakura 'nee-chan!"

I repeatedly turned my head in different directions to find the source of the voice.

"Sakura-chan, are you okay?" I heard Retasu ask.

I continued to turn my head. "Hai, I'm fine." I answered untruthfully. I still couldn't see.

"Well why do you keep turning your head?" Minto asked.

"Can't you see, Sakura-chan?" Ichigo asked.

"I can see." I answered quickly. My vision was blurry but I didn't feel faint or light-headed.

"Well we're going on a mission!" I hazily saw Purin jump up and down.

"Okay." I smiled.

"Mew Mew Ichigo! Metamorphosis!"

"Mew Mew Minto! Metamorphosis!"

"Mew Mew Retasu! Metamorphosis!"

"Mew Mew Purin! Metamorphosis!"

"Mew Mew Zakuro! Metamorphosis!"

"Mew Mew Sakura! Metamorphosis!"

We all transformed into our Mew costumes before heading towards the trouble. I stayed behind them in case I couldn't see where I was walking or if I couldn't see the Mew Mews and where they were heading.

"Sakura-chan," I turned my head to see a blur of green. I think it was Retasu who was talking.

"Hai?"

"Are you okay?" She asked me.

I nodded my head. "I'm fine, honestly."

"Okay." Retasu said in a worried tone before she ran ahead.

I soon got tired of running. My legs began to feel numb and unstable. I stopped running, placing my hands on my knees as I caught my breath. I wasn't much of a runner unlike the other girls in my Junior High years. They were more physically fit than me, but I was the most creative, according to the kids in my class.

Everyone else had stopped running, much to my happiness. I wouldn't have been able to keep up with them if they continued to run, but did they stop because of me, or was it because we were at our destination?

"Kyaa!" I heard Ichigo scream.

I turned my head to spot a fuzzy image of pink running around in a circle. I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't see the reason why she was acting scared.

"That thing is scary!" Minto wailed, dashing over to Zakuro.

"What is it?" I asked, oblivious to what they were screaming at.

"I don't know!" Retasu yelled.

"But it's scary!" Purin added.

"Okay." I giggled. I was glad that they didn't suspect that I couldn't see a thing.

"Mint Arrow!" As Minto called her weapon, the Kimera Anima what everyone was scared of cried. It sounded like a lion in pain crossed with a wolf's howl. A flash of blue darted towards the Kimera Anima, but did nothing to injure it. "Oh no!" Minto cried.

The Kimera Anima lifted one of it's paws and attacked Minto, sending her backwards and towards me.

"Minto!" Ichigo screeched as Minto crashed into the floor.

I ran towards Minto as Ichigo ran towards the Kimera Anima. "Minto, are you okay?"

"Hai." She coughed as I saw her blurry appearance try to sit up.

"Strawberry Bell Check!" I looked from Minto to see Ichigo attack the Kimera Anima with her Strawberry Bell. Not much damage was inflicted on the Kimera Anima. Ichigo growled. "I'm getting sick of this!"

"Ichigo, wait!" Retasu ordered as Ichigo ran towards the Kimera Anima.

"Strawberry Bell Check!" Ichigo shouted again. As her attack came in contact with the Kimera Anima, Zakuro cracked her whip at it, adding more damage. Retasu and Purin began to attack the Kimera Anima as I sat with Minto, making sure she was okay.

As the Kimera Anima grew weaker, my vision became clearer. I could make out the expressions on everyone's faces. Minto looked drained of energy, Ichigo and Zakuro looked frustrated and Retasu and Purin seemed to be glad that the Kimera Anima was being defeated.

Ichigo's face softened as she turned to face me. "Sakura-chan, want to finish off here?"

A smile grew on my face as I stood up. "Of course I do."

I crossed my arms in the air and called for my Sakura Daggers. I clutched them tightly as I sprang into the air. My vision was almost perfect when I began to aim at the Kimera Anima, so I threw a dagger at it's head, hoping that the damage would be fatal. The dagger emitted a pinkish glow when it touched the Kimera Anima, engulfing it quickly. The glow shone for a couple of seconds before it disappeared, taking the Kimera Anima with it, wherever it went. The jellyfish-resembling parasite appeared and floated away as I landed on the ground.

"Well done, Sakura-chan!" Retasu ran up to me and hugged me lightly.

"Ha, that was my first battle where I didn't get injured!" I exclaimed as Retasu and me jumped up and down with idiotic excitement.

"Let's head back to the Café." Ichigo insisted.

"Hai." Retasu smiled as she and Zakuro helped Minto stand on her feet.

"Let's get you sorted out, Minto." Zakuro said as they began to walk in the direction of the Café.

Ichigo and Purin began to walk behind them. I slowly followed, happy that I didn't get hurt but also hoping that Minto would be okay. Ichigo stopped walking, causing me and Purin to stop walking in response.

"Hey, Sakura," Ichigo slowly turned her head to me.

"Hai."

"How come that when we attack the Kimera Anima, we don't injure it, but when you attack them, they die almost instantly?"

I looked at the seriousness in Ichigo's face. "I don't know." I gulped, almost feeling intimidated by Ichigo's harsh glance.

She continued to stare at me for a few seconds before turning on her heel with a huff.

"Don't feel bad Sakura 'nee-chan," Purin smiled as she slid to my side. She stood on the tips of her toes so she could reach my ear. "Ichigo 'nee-chan is just jealous because she didn't defeat it with one attack like she used to."

I couldn't help but giggle at Purin's comment. I never saw Ichigo as the jealous type. I continued to giggle as Purin walked ahead so she was nearer to Ichigo. I smiled at the young and energetic girl. She reminded me of Lini, in some ways. The comments that Purin says sound like ones that Lini used to say to me about our late mother.

I stopped as I suddenly felt cold. I rubbed my arms to heat them up as I scanned the area. I couldn't see any evidence that proved that it was windy. The leaves weren't rustling, the trees weren't swaying and my hair wasn't picked up. I looked down as I saw a shadow cast over me. The shadow was bigger than mine. Someone was behind me. They were taller than me, and by looking at the shadow, they had the same ears as Kisshu. I slowly turned around, wondering who was behind me and why. As I laid my eyes on the person, something impacted with my head. I fell to the floor in an instant. I felt a liquid surround me, it smelt like blood. I didn't even know that I could smell blood, but I knew that it was blood, the crimson colour of the liquid gave it away.

The crimson colour began to turn grey as I felt myself being picked up and threw over something. I began to feel light-headed as I could no longer see the streets of Tokyo. I could only see black, not because it was dark, I didn't know the reason for me to see black, but I knew it had something to do with me losing my consciousness.

That wasn't a good ending in my opinion. I actually don't like the chapter. I weaved my way out of an explanation at the beginning and the action part sucks, you can't really call it action.

Well i blame my brain for the bad story. The poor thing is being overworked.

I think i write too much that isn't the story. Well 2, 000 words of this chapter is the main chapter so that's good i guess. And i got a compliment off a reviewer who said they like how i describe my day...or did they mean in the story?

I've got my friend into Twilight. I'm happy at this, because now i have a topic for a conversation. I Just want to get my friends to like Fruits Basket. I'm showing one mate a volume tomorrow in school and my other mate is coming over on friday to watch Camp Rock so i can show her then XD

I've started to write chapter one of my Fruits Basket fic. It focuses on Hatori a lot because he is my fave character. And i've decided to extend this story so it will have a maximum of six more chapters until it reaches the end. I've got a plan for another Tokyo Mew Mew story, but i'm finishing this one first, otherwise i won't finish it and i want to finish it! The Furuba fic should be uploaded in a month or so, my deadline for this story to be completed. I really want to complete this, but i don't want to rush it, otherwise it'll be bad and then my ideas have gone to waste XD

I miss my old laptop. I keep on making errors on this laptop and i always overlook them when i proof read my writing. Oh well, i'll have to put up with it XD

Well bye bye. I'm tired and need to do my maths homework. Oh dear, maths. I hate it. I hate my teacher. He hates me also. All my teachers hate me, it's known for me to be hated by teachers, especially my form teacher. She's always telling me to tuck my shirt in when i ain't wearing my blazer and to extend the length of my tie. I'm not wearing my tie long, ever. Only the lads in our school wear their ties long. At least she's stopped nagging me about my nose piercing. Yay!

Right, now i'll go. Hope you leave a review :D I love you all. Mwah! x
