Chapter 14: Mirror rorriM

Swaying with the breeze like river water, Midorikawa Retasu sat upon her balcony. Her souless river green eyes tried to search the star for answers. All of her memories were taken away by the devious three aliens, but there was a sinking feeling that she secretly wanted to have these events taken away from her. Did something happen that she now can't remember? Was it so bad that she wanted it taken away? Sighing, she continued to look at the countless stars that stood against the sky. Retasu tried her bet to think about her memories in the past, but all she got was a fuzzy grey screen. It's been about a week ever since she got out of the hospital with an empty head. How was she going to gain her memories back?

A few minutes passed and nothing happened besides the blowing of the wind. Retasu's focus on the sky and her inner mind vanished as a soft murmur of a whizzing sound behind her.

"You look like your deep in thought."

It was like looking into a mirror and a very odd one too. Lettuce's eyes meet the cold and faint ones of the girl who seemed to be in a dark forest green outfit. Little did she know she was staring at Dark Mew Lettuce. She didn't seem frightened at what she was looking at however. Innocent little Retasu merely stared at the figure not knowing what to do or what to say.

The only thing she was able to emit from her mouth was the soft whisper of the words, "Who are you?"

Dark Mew Lettuce 'humped' and quietly walked past her. This certain person hadn't attacked Lettuce yet, so she guessed that she was okay. Following her heels, they both went into her room. Retasu sat on her bed looking at the stranger that suddenly appeared while Dark Mew Lettuce leaned back on t on through.

"I'm your memories." Finally answering her question Dark Lettuce looked out the door into the glittery sky. The current atmosphere was a tense one.

"You have my memories?" Retasu was interested now. This girl who look almost exactly like her was the lost key she was looking for, but how would she get it back? Would asking help? In her polite voice she quietly asked, "Would you please give them back to me? I need them. I don't remember my friends and what they mean to me."

Dark Mew Lettuce's eyes quickly pierced the soft eyes of the memory less body. Upon the contact the Yang flinched. Her eyes were so icy that you can feel it fill the atmosphere and make the temperature drop. Making you shiver with a mixture of coldness and fear.

"You wouldn't want your memories back if you knew what you've been through."

"But it feels horrible! I barely know anyone. They try really hard for me to get to remember. They seem to be really good people!"

The Dark Mew huffed and turned the other way, avoiding Lettuce's hopeful gaze.

"They are a bunch of people who care about only themselves. They caused us so much pain. To them you're probably the weakest one, a loser. We try so hard to get him to notice us, but no. All he ever pays attention to is Ichigo. He will never love us because Ichigo is the best! Ichigo is the greatest! BLAH BLAH BLAH!"

Lettuce felt pity for her. She seemed to be in mental pain. Dark Mew seemed like she went through a lot. As the Yin fell to the floor distressed, the kind girl walked up to her, kneeled down, and gave her a small hug. "I'm sure this was all just a misunderstanding. I'm sure Momomiya-san didn't mean to hurt you."

Normally, the evil twin would shove her away and attack her in an instant since she touched her, but just for once, maybe she could quietly lean on a shoulder for once. After a few minutes of silence, the Dark Mew wiped her eyes trying to get rid of the evidence of her salty tears. She got up and examined the room. On the vanity she spotted a dull gem. It was their Mew Pendent. It seemed to have lost color. Picking it up, she showed it to the opposing girl. "Do you know who made this?"

Retasu walked up to her and took the colorless pendent into her palms. It felt cold, this was the first time she saw this. "I don't even know what it is."

With eyes widening with surprise Dark Mew Lettuce looked at her other half. "You really forgot memories dealing with them…" It was reasonable, because the Dark Mew was the one that had he memories. She remembered them all. How painful it was. Finding Ichigo and Ryou kissing in his room, finding out that he was only using her as an experiment for Mew Kashi, and finding out that he probably didn't love her. They were all painful, and she wasn't going to give them back to Lettuce. She wasn't about to let her experience all this pain. While she was examining the gem, she turned tail and went back out to the balcony. Preparing to apparate, Dark Lettuce was interrupted by her counterpart who had caught her.

"Give me back my memories!"

She solemnly stared at those soft eyes that were just as empty as her icy ones. The Dark One wouldn't be able to give her back her memories even if she wanted to. She didn't know how.

"Dusk, is just an illusion, because the sun is either above the horizon or below it. And it means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are; there cannot be one without the other, yet they cannot exist at the same time. How would it feel, I remember wondering to be always together, yet forever apart?"

And she disappeared in the blink of an eye, with only a riddle to spare.

Lettuce ran to the edge of the balcony and looked around franticly for her mirror self. Where did she go? Just a second she was there before her eyes, and now she isn't.

"MOTHER!" echoed a voice below her.

IchigoTikaru: r&r Everyone! Ideas are appreciated. I'm sorry if this chapter seems short for you. I somewhat wanted it to be like that since it was only a conversation between Lettuce and her Dark Self. See! The Dark Mew Lettuce is nice even when she's evil! XD

R&R!
