And again, I don't own TMM.

Chapter 2 What Pai Finds Out

Pai had teleported back to the ship to meet with Deep Blue, and possibly find out how and why Kisshu got amnesia.

"Deep Blue-sama," he said respectfully after teleporting in. "I have found Kisshu on Earth with Mew Ichigo, but he has amnesia for some reason."

"Serves the traitor right!" Deep Blue replied. "Don't think I haven't noticed his plan to betray me after falling head over heels in love for that Mew Ichigo! He deserves what he got!"

"So my suspicions were correct then," Pai said. "It was you who gave Kisshu amnesia."

Deep Blue just laughed. "You have no proof of that, Pai! What makes you think I was capable of doing such a thing?!"

"Well, I'll just find out for myself then," Pai replied with an evil smirk.

"You wouldn't dare use mind-control on me!" Deep Blue snapped at him.

But Pai had already lifted his hand up towards Deep Blue and closed his eyes and concentrated as he began going into his mind. Deep Blue attempted to resist the mind-control, but failed since Pai was already deep within his mind.

"I'll see to it that you and Kisshu are both exiled now for this once Earth is finally mine!" Deep Blue snarled.

"I see. So Kisshu was right about that as well," Pai said. "And now that I know how Kisshu got amnesia, I'll be leaving now."

"Traitor! I won't need any of your help taking over Earth then! I'll just do it myself now!" Deep Blue shouted as Pai had already teleported out.

Meanwhile
Back on Earth at the Momomiya house, Ichigo and Kisshu had finished with breakfast and were now in Ichigo's room playing board games. They were right in the middle of a game of chess, when they heard teleportation and Pai appeared in the room. They both looked up from their game, startled.

"So, what did you find out?" Ichigo asked him.

"It was Deep Blue," Pai replied. "I had to use mind-control on him to find out though since he refused tell me himself. But apparently he found out about Kisshu's plan to betray him and decided to do something about it. He thought that if he brainwashed Kisshu into forgetting about you, Ichigo, and then he wouldn't have to worry about being betrayed. But it somehow backfired and ended up giving him amnesia instead."

"But why would he do something like that?" Kisshu asked, looking confused. "I didn't do anything to deserve it."

"Because you were in love with Ichigo, and you were going to betray Deep Blue in order to be with her," Pai told him.

Ichigo now looked surprised. "He would really do that for me?" she suddenly asked, startled.

Pai nodded. "He really does love you, Mew Ichigo," he told her.

"Why do you call her 'Mew' Ichigo?" Kisshu asked. "I thought her name was just Ichigo."

"Because I'm a Mew Mew, and because of that I'm half cat as well," Ichigo told him.

"I like cats," Kisshu said. "Well, at least I think I do anyway."

Ichigo giggled, before turning to Pai. "So is there a way to get Kish's memories back?" she asked him. "I could use my Mew healing abilities, but it probably might not work."

"I'll have to figure out something that- Wait, how do you have healing abilities?" Pai suddenly asked her.

"Well when I first became a Mew Mew, I somehow discovered that I also ended up with healing abilities too," Ichigo explained. "I still haven't been able to figure out why though. And I don't know if I can even heal amnesia."

"That's actually not possible to heal amnesia that way," Pai told her. "That's why I was going to say I'll have to figure out something in my lab that might work. But first we need to get rid of Deep Blue so he won't interfere, because I also found out that Kisshu was right about not trusting him. And if Kisshu didn't have amnesia right now, he'd probably tell me 'It took you long enough, Pai!' Anyway in order to kill Deep Blue, we first need to kill his human host."

"And that would be...?" Ichigo asked.

Pai hesitated for a moment, before saying, "I'll go research that right now." With that, he teleported off to his lab.

"Wow, really? I thought he would have known who it was already," Ichigo muttered sarcastically. "Anyway, should we continue our game while we're waiting, Kish?" she asked, turning back to Kisshu.

"Who's turn was it again?" Kisshu asked.

"Yours," Ichigo replied.

"K," Kisshu said, as they went back to finishing their chess game. Kisshu then moved his knight up to check Ichigo's king.

"Oh, no you don't," Ichigo said, moving her queen forward to take out the knight.

"Awww," Kisshu protested.

Ichigo giggled at his expression, when Pai suddenly teleported back in a while later.

"Well?" Ichigo asked him.

"You're playing chess?" Pai asked warily.

"That's not what I asked, Pai," Ichigo told him. "So did you find out who Deep Blue's human host is?"

"I did, but you're not gonna like it," Pai replied. "It's your boyfriend, that treehugger kid."

Ichigo stared at him in shock for a moment. "But why Aoyama-kun?" she finally asked him.

"Honestly, how am I supposed to know why he chose that specific human host? I don't need to keep track of him 24/7," Pai said. "So anyway, you're playing chess?"

"Yeah, why? Is there a problem with us playing chess?" Ichigo asked.

"Yes, that game is EVIL!" Pai exclaimed.

"Ok... I'm not sure I even want to know," Ichigo replied.

Pai sighed. "Kisshu and I used to play chess all the time when we were little, and he would ALWAYS win," he explained. "I swear I don't know how he does it, but he's always been really good at chess."

"Let me guess, you were jealous right?" Ichigo asked him.

"Don't remind me," Pai muttered sulkily. "I still have nightmares about Kisshu beating me at chess, which is always horrible because then he goes and brags to everyone that he won. And thus the story of why chess is evil."

Ichigo giggled. "Do you wanna make a bet that I can beat Kisshu?" she suggested.

"If you can beat Kisshu at chess, then I'll be your next challenger," Pai replied.

"You're on!" Ichigo challenged. "I'll play against you if I end up beating Kish."

The game continued for another hour, until Ichigo suddenly called out, "Checkmate!"

"What? But how?" Kisshu asked. "I thought I was winning."

"Sorry, Kish," Ichigo replied. "It was still a good game though, regardless of who won."

"Thanks, Ichigo-chan," Kisshu said.

"Sure," Ichigo replied, smiling.

"Well it looks like you can't win like you used to before you got amnesia," Pai said mockingly.

"Oh shut up!" Kisshu snapped at him. "So I don't remember how to play chess! Big deal! It doesn't give you the right to go and make fun of me for it!"

"Fine, I'm sorry. Happy now?" Pai said. Kisshu just glared at him. "Or just stay mad at me, if it makes you feel better," Pai added.

"So Pai, you said you would play against me if I beat Kisshu, which I did," Ichigo said. "Or is it still too 'evil' for you?"

"We made a bet, so I have to now," Pai replied as Ichigo was resetting the board, and they soon began another round of chess.

"Pai, I can feel you reading my mind and that's cheating, so stop," Ichigo said as Pai was reading her mind for the sixth time. Kisshu was now snickering at him.

Pai glared at him. "Oh shut it, Kisshu! And I was NOT trying to cheat!"

You were too," Ichigo told him. "Reading my mind is considered cheating, Pai."

"Pai ALWAYS tries to cheat at chess, or any other board game he plays with someone," Taruto said as he teleported into the room with them.

"And you're DOOMED, Pipsqueak!" Pai snapped at him.

"Well, it's true!" Taruto protested, before turning to Ichigo. "This one time when I challenged Pai to a game of checkers, he tried to read my mind in order to see through every move I made. So I eventually had to put up a mind-barrier around my mind in order to keep him from reading my mind and cheating, but then I ended up winning." He grinned as he said that. "Pai just really sucks at board games," he added.

"Oh quit sulking, Pai. Maybe if you didn't try to cheat, and actually learn how to play, you might actually win for once," Ichigo said, when she noticed Pai was now sulking.

"I already know how to play it," Pai replied sulkily. "I'm just never able to win."

Ichigo suddenly fell over laughing at that. "Now that's hilarious!" she exclaimed.

Kisshu snickered. "That sounds funny!" he said.

Pai glared at him. "You're doomed once your memories are back!"

"Wait, so what exactly happened with Kisshu's memories?" Taruto asked.

Pai sighed. "I just found out that Deep Blue tried to brainwash him into forgetting Ichigo, but apparently something went wrong and it ended up giving him amnesia instead."

"So you're saying he doesn't remember anything now? Or even us?" Taruto asked with a look of surprise.

"That's basically what amnesia is, Taruto," Pai replied.

"I know that!" Taruto snapped. "I was just asking- Oh nevermind, forget it!"

"Anyway, are we still gonna finish our game, Pai?" Ichigo asked.

"You tell me, since you were the one who suddenly fell over laughing," Pai replied.

"I thought Taruto was the one who interrupted," Ichigo pointed out.

"Oh, good point. I'm still going to doom him later," Pai said, as he and Ichigo went back to their chess game.

They continued for a couple more hours, until Ichigo suddenly won and called out, "Checkmate!" and leaving Pai speechless.

"H-How do you do it?" he finally managed to ask.

"By NOT cheating and reading other people's minds," Ichigo retorted sarcastically, causing Pai to continue sulking. "And you're still sulking about it?" she asked him.

Pai just grumbled something incoherent.

"Well I guess this means you don't want to come with me, Kisshu, and Taruto over to Cafe Mew Mew to discuss what to do about Deep Blue then," Ichigo told him. "And you can just stay here and sulk about not being able to win at chess."

"Fine, I'm coming," Pai grumbled.

"What's Cafe Mew Mew?" Kisshu suddenly asked.

"It's where I work, along with the other Mew Mews," Ichigo told him.

"And it's probably best not to let him teleport over there while he still has amnesia, or else he might end up somewhere else entirely," Pai told Ichigo. "I'll teleport you and Kisshu."

"I guess I'll meet you guys over there then," Taruto said, before teleporting over to the Cafe followed by Pai with Kisshu and Ichigo.

WHOO-HOO! Another chapter done! *throws confetti and dances around* And Deep Blue will be going DOWN for giving Kish amnesia! Anywayz, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I will now be working on the next chapter, as well as my other stories too of course. R&R
