Chapter 3:
At that moment as the light consumed my body, I didn't know how should've reacted. I closed my eyes shut as a shock went through my body and I had to admit it did hurt. My teeth clenched together as I felt a slight pain in the top of my body, back and lower back. For short moment it felt like an electric shock. I growled slightly to myself and I sensed that the wind around me rapidly sped around me.
However as quick as it started the wind and vanished and so was the pain. My eyes slowly opened but as soon as they were opened I quickly jumped back with the little girl still in my arms as she cried into my shoulder, her small arms managing to wrap around my neck. I gave a nervous look, quite uncomfortable with little kids. I looked up again and saw that the Giant Mantis' talon was stuck in the ground, I breathed out deeply with relieve. However I saw a glimpse of purple on a window shop.
I turned my head entirely as I took in my reflection and blinked, dumbfounded. My eyes were still the same light purple colour, but everything else about me changed. My hair was also a light purple with black streaks in it and I wore a light purple and black dressed. My right eye twitched in annoyance 'A dress? Really? It's something Chiyo would make me wear' I thought to myself. It was also then that I notice black furry dog ears upon my head, I also had a black bushy tail, I then glanced at my back, and at first I thought it was demon wings, but they were just bat wings.
I heard the eerie screech and I sensed something approaching something behind me. I jumped up high and then the wings on my back started beating taking me higher up in the air. I looked down from the air and looked down at the mantis.
"W-what the hell?" I muttered under my breath "I never cover this type of shit in training" I said irritated. The little girl sniffled as she looked up at me.
"Y-you said a bad word" she mumbled, her eyes said teary. I glanced back down irritated. The monster tried jumping up as it waved its talon. The girl glanced down and started struggling "TOO HIGH! TOO HIGH" She screamed. I tried to keep a tight hold on her as she squirmed in my hold
"H-hey! Hold still!" I said she stopped as had a deathly hold on me. I agreed it was too high as I lowered slowly. I only got a bit too close as the monster nearly got my leg. I then felt a strange sensation in my heart as words started leaving my lips "Raspberry shuriken!" I shouted as I held out my hand. A silver steel medium sized shuriken appeared in my hand, it was cold to hold. More words began to come out of my mouth "Ribbon Raspberry Jutsu!" I shouted as the shuriken was consumed with a light purple fire mixed with black, but it didn't burn at all. I threw it down at the creature below and as it made contact it made some sort of explosion. The monster once again made a painful screeched which kind of hurt my ear.
I landed back down on the ground a few metres away from the monster and I placed the girl down even if she was a bit clingy. She looked up at me with her chocolate brown eyes which still had tears running down her cheeks. I gave her a reassuring smile before turning my attention back to the stupid mantis, woman thing. "Listen here you fucking monster thing!" I shouted "I won't forgive you for terrorizing people and this innocent little girl" I stood in a fighting pose, my ears and tail twitching with determination as I held out my hands again. "Raspberry Shurikens!" this time two shurikens appeared in my hands, one in each hand. Once I secured my grip on them I lurched forward towards the monster.
As it talons swiped at me again, I had skidded and dodged it quickly before twirling around and kicking it at the side of its head "Ribbon Raspberry Jutsu!" The shurikens lit aflame and I scraped it against its skin, this time the wounds glowed a light purple which soon consumed its entire being.
Soon the light dimmed down and in its replacement was an average praying mantis, along with a jellyfish and a glowing orb. Before the jelly fish flew away I quickly stepped on it with my boots as if it was a mere bug. After that I was going to do the same to do the orb but it floated away to a pale women's body which was lying deadly still. I was about to approach the body, but I someone clung unto my dress. Looking back down at the girl who was crying again. I cringed slightly unsure what to do with her, the way she was crying wanting someone to comfort her, and I remembered how I was like that. I sighed as I kneeled down and wrap my arms around her as I allowed her to cry into my chest.
"Please don't cry sweeties everything's fine" I tried to assure her that everything was fine as I tried to give her one of my 'rare, heart-warming' smiles, which is what Chiyo calls it. However I froze suddenly and I turned my head to see a giant crowd of new reporters and photographers filming and snapping photos.
"Coming to you live from Central Tokyo. A new Mew Mew has appeared, one which has features of a dog and a bat. Excuse me miss?" The female reporter said as she pushed the microphone in my face, I growled slightly annoyed "Do you have to say anything about this? Do you have any catchphrases? Have you-"
"Shut. UP" I said through clenched teeth the entire group of reporters quieted down. I looked back down at the girl "You're scaring the kid" I glanced behind to see the body that was dead still moving. The woman sat up as she spotted the child, she then ran up to us, even if she was still wobbly. She weakly put her arms up and took the girl in her arms and smiled warmly at me.
"T-thank you for saving my little girl" the girl looked at me and smiled adorably
"Arigatou koinu-mimi Chan!" she said as her smile widened showing her dimples. I smiled softly back and then pulled a serious face even if my eyes said differently.
"Whatever kid" The girl blinked before giving me a peace sign "Peace?" I muttered
She shook her head twice "Iie. Onee-Chan said TWO bad words" I giggled
"Hai, gomen" My wings began to beat heavily as I lifted off the ground. I landed back down on a building nearby. As soon I clarified that I was out of sight I naturally returned back to normal. I stood there silent as I looked up at the black sky before grasping my head and rustling my black hair
"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!" I screamed seriously pissed off
YAY! Ch. 3 completed! I was sick today so I had to time to work on this :D I hoped all of you had enjoyed so far
