Miyako:True...
Brick:He's a dead man!
Boomer&Butch:Happy Reading
Kimiko:Longest intro ever...
Kaoru:No kidding...
Me:Hai, To the story! ^_^
Momoko continued to lay on Tsuki's bed. The pink-eyed girl was silent with a few tears trailing down her cheek. Tsuki hugged her from the side resting her head on Momoko's. The ravenette was feeling the same pain and sorrow as Momoko but she's felt them before...
Without knowing it the gray-eyed vamp shed a few tears on her own. Tears really are contagious. The red-head looked to her side when she felt water in her hair and looked to see Tsuki crying for her.
'Miyako, Kaoru, and Kimiko did the same thing' she thought.
"Why are you crying?" Momoko asked Tsuki remembering asking the same question a three years ago.
"I can feel what you feel" the vampiress responded. The pink-eyed girl eye's widened realizing what an empath was. The similar feeling of guilt occurred. Momoko didn't want Miyako, Kaoru, and Kimiko crying for her but know Tsuki is crying for her. She didn't want her dark past to be dark for anyone else. That's the kind of girl Momoko is. When she's sad or upset she doesn't want others to be sad for her, it would make her feel guilty.
"G-Gomen"(S-sorry) the redhead mumbled trying to escape out of Tsuki's grip,but instead the vampiress tightened her grip on Momoko letting her know its okay. Momoko was surprised by her actions and was blushing slightly.
"You don't have to apologize you can't help what you feel" she said as she stopped crying as the redhead continued her waterworks.
"But you and the girls keep crying for me. I don't want you to be sad because of me" Momoko said blaming herself for her friend's sadness,again. Tsuki finally realized Momoko's intention and shook her head 'no'.
"There's nothing wrong with it" the ravenette said after a while. The ribbon-haired girl looked at Tsuki for the first time.
"There's nothing wrong with caring for a friend,Momoko-nee" the lunar vampire whispered. That was the first time she referred to Momoko as a older sister and said girl was flattered.
"Besides you and I have been through the same betrayed you and Akuma betrayed me."
'That's true!'Momoko thought. She never made the connection of the two stories. Even if Tsuki wasn't an empath she could still relate to the feeling of being betrayed by the person you liked a lot. Momoko turned and gave the gray-eyed girl's embrace fully.
"You know that evening,during sunset I looked up at the sky and saw something breath-taking. The sky was a soft pink with a layer of orange that matched my hair due to the sun. I saw a cloud being pushed by the wind towards three clouds,as if they were waiting that cloud to come. I'm not sure if it was a coincidence or a sign,but it made me feel better."
"That's amazing" Tsuki said
"Yeah..."
"So...what are you going to do know?" Tsuki asked
"What do you mean?"
"Are you going to see him?" Momoko thought about her question and received a text at that moment.
'Hey. Haven't seen you in a we meet?'~Sakamoto
Momoko showed the text to Tsuki and she gave her a look that said 'Are you?'. The red-head sighed and texted back after thinking about it for a few minutes.
The rest of the group was still in the would've gone upstairs but a certain red-capped young man was furious about the story he just heard.
"I'LL KILL HIM!" he shouted. Satoshi and Takeshi tackled him to the ground while Yuichi kept shouting.
"Keep your voice down!" Raiden said trying to calm down his brother. A blood red aura surrounded the fire vampire and it was getting the females a bit scared,even though Kaoru wouldn't show it.
"You can't blame him we were scary while beating him up" Kaoru said.
"Yeah its hard picturing you like that Miyako" Aoki commented.
"I couldn't believe it either" the blonde responded.
"How can you guys be so calm about this!?" Yuichi yelled further.
"The girls already beat the crap out of him" the brunette said to his older brother.
"Yeah,but haven't you guys wondered why he was asking for her?!" the red-head paused. He was right he was gone for 3 years but now that he came back...what's his motive?
"Yuichi-chan has a point" Kimiko said.
"We should just go to see Momo-"Takeshi was cut of when Yuichi's entire body was engulfed in flames. Takeshi and Satoshi jumped off him and had wide eyes.
"Red, If you don't calm down you'll burn up the castle" Satoshi said calmly. The girls were wide-eyed and the boys stood protectively in front of them. Yuichi looked at his surroundings, took a deep breath, and the flames died down.
"What the hell!?" Kaoru said shocked
"It's an elemental vampire we are extremely pissed off or feel a strong emotion our element surrounds our body and we have the urge to kill" Raiden explained
"Ohh..."the girls said in unison.
"Uh, let's go upstairs. Momoko could be looking for us" Aoki said patting Yuichi's back. Everyone went upstairs to the living room. The ravenette ran downstairs and found a bunch of eyes in her direction. She took the girls hands and pulled them away from the boys.
"Where's Momoko?" Kaoru and Kimiko said in unison.
"She told me everything,Sakamoto sent her a text telling them to meet and...she went" Kaoru's eyes widened, Kimiko gasped, and Miyako started to tremble.
"Momoko told me not to stop her. She said something about facing her fears" Kaoru paused and thought about what Tsuki said.
'She said she wanted to face her fears'
FLASHBACK
Momoko's pink sunset transformed into a dark midnight sky. The girl was still heart broken about the events from earlier today. Momoko was hugging her knees on her bed and was looking at the sleeping blonde and brunette in the far right of the room.(A/N:It's a big room with four beds for each girl)
A thirteen year old Kaoru walked in the room and gave Momoko a glass of water.
"Arigato" the broken-hearted girl said. Kaoru nodded and took a sip from her own glass before putting it down. She sat next to Momoko on her bed and looked straight at her. Momoko would be sulking for a while because it was the boy she almost loved. The tomboy sighed and put her hand on the pink girls's shoulder making her look at her.
"Look" she said in a firm tone "I know you'll get over him eventually" Momoko stayed silent but nodded signaling her continue.
"But all that sadness will turn into fear since he crossed the line, but don't let that fear control you. Promise yourself that you'll face your fears of that asshole head on!" she said in a low but firm voice so that their two friends won't wake up. Momoko had the smallest of smiles on her was Kaoru's way of letting her know everything will be okay. Kaoru wanted Momoko to be strong so that next time something like this happens she'll be able to fight for herself, that way she wouldn't be sad or scared.
"I promise" Momoko whispered laying down in her bed getting sleepy. Kaoru laid down beside the pink-eyed girl and settled beside her.
"Night Momo"
"Sweet dreams Kao-rin" The tomboy inwardly growled at her annoying nickname but exhaled. 'I'll let it slide this time'
END OF FLASHBACK
'Glad she remembered my advice' the present day Kaoru thought smiling at her memory.
"Should we tell Yuichi?" Miyako asked.
"If we do he'll burn up everything out of rage" Kimiko whispered harshly.
"We should check up on her just in case" Kaoru said
"I'll go upstairs to put on my jacket" the vampire princess said on the way up the stairs. Miyako,being the most sensitive out of the group, was shaking in fear for her friend.
"Don't worry Miya, she'll be fine" Kaoru said putting an arm around her
"H-how do you know?"
"Because, Momoko is a lot stronger than she was three years ago" Kaoru said smiling at her words. It wasn't everyday she got to be wise one so she enjoyed it whenever she could. Kimiko and Miyako smiled at the tomboy's faithful words. What they didn't notice however was a certain red-headed prince listening to their conversation.
"Oi, what did Suki-san say?" Yuichi asked
"Nothing just that Momoko is doing better and she went home to rest" Kaoru said keeping the castle from burning to ashes. Yuichi knew Kaoru was lying to keep his temper down.
"Oh okay goo to hear. The boys and I are going hunting. Stay here okay?" the girls nodded as Yuichi and the others left.
"Phew! That was close!" Kimiko said. Tsuki came downstairs with a gray cropped jacket.
"Good news Tsuki the boys went hunting so we can go to Momoko with no worries!" Miyako said happily clasping her hands together.
"Hunting? We all went hunting early this mourning they shouldn't be having cravings yet" Tsuki said
"But...if they aren't hunting then where would they-?" Kimiko cut of mid sentences putting pieces together.
"Oh crap!" Tsuki said.
"We gotta go,NOW!"Kaoru yelled as they head out the door.
Momoko's P.O.V
'Don't let that fear control you'
'Promise yourself that you'll face your fears of that asshole head on!'
Momoko smiled confidently at her friends' words. Kaoru was right I have to face Sakamoto. I can't let my fearful,dark past control me. I have to face him head on...alone. I took out my high ponytail and let my hair down but kept my old bow in my head. My phone vibrated and I looked at the message.
'Come to our old spot we have to catch up'~Sakamoto
I rolled my my fears is one of the reasons I came. The other reason I decided to do all this is to see if Sakamoto changed. Is he still the same rapist that I need to beat up or did he change and want to apologize and start over? Whatever the reason I'm going to find out.
'I'm on my way' I texted back and shoved my phone on my skirt pocket.
No One's P.O.V
'I can't believe-well actually I can believe it.' Kaoru thought to herself running with Miyako and Kimiko. Tsuki used her vampire speed to get to boys faster.
"Hey Kaoru-san isn't that Dai and Shou?" Miyako asked "Oh and Ryuu?" The girls stopped as the three boys greeted them.
"Whoa girls where's the fire?" Dai asked noticing the girls are in a hurry.
"Just going to the park,Dai" Kaoru said.
"Oi, Kimi-nee did you tell Momoko about Sakamoto?" Ryuu asked his older sister.
"Yeah I told her we are going to meet them now"
"You girls better becareful,Sakamoto is in a gang now" Dai said
"Nani!?" Miyako screamed with worry.
"He is?" the two boys asked in unison.
"Yeah I heard from Jirou that during the past three years he was gone he got involved in the Vipers" The Vipers are one of the most dangerous gangs in New Townsville. SharkTooth and the RRBZ being the top two. Since the RRBZ disappeared most people forgot about them. Vipers are still dangerous though.
"In fact, I think he's the leader now" The girls jaw dropped.
"Leader!?" the girls screamed
"How the hell did that happen?!" Kaoru yelled. Sakamoto was a troublesome boy in middle school however he stopped while dating no one thought he would EVER be a leader of a gang, especially the Vipers.
"Dammit! Now Momo-chan's in trouble!" Kimiko wailed.
"Wait Momoko used to date the kid right?" Dai asked,the girls nodded.
"Whoa you better get going. Since he used to date her, I doubt she'll get jumped or something but get her out of that park. They like to hang out there around this time." Dai said checking his watch"They like to travel in groups" Miyako's knees were shaking again.
"Miyako-san are you okay?" Shou asked noticing the color drain from her place.
"Uh, yeah she's just a bit anxious" Kimiko said shaking the blonde a bit to snap her out of her state.
"Thanks for the info,big bro" Kaoru said as they bumped fists" Tell mom and dad I'm sleeping over at the lab."
"Will do and if you need me you got me and Nao on speed dial" 'Nao' is Dai's nickname for Naomi,Kimiko and Ryuu's older sister. Both of them are really good fighters so calling them for backup wasn't a bad idea. It would be hard to explain the vampires though.
"Yosh!"(Alright!) the green girl yelled as she and her two friends raced to the park.
"Good look sis" The older green-haired young man said as he walked home with the two boys.
"Wait!" Miyako said as they enter the park"We should transform"
"Good call" Kaoru said taking her compact out.
"Super Rolling Bubbles!"
"Super Frolicking Bunny!"
"Super Powered Buttercup!"
After a flash of white light they transformed into their new and more powerful PPGZ outfits.
"We should stay low so that the boys can't see us" the green second-in-command said. The 3 heroines floated to the deserted part of the park and looked for their vampire friends.
"Over there!" Bunny whispered pointing to the far end park. The deserted part of the park was about the size of a soccer field. Sakamoto was seen walking to Momoko in the center of the park,the vampires where at the far right hiding in the bushes, the the PPGZ decided to hide in the branches. Everyone was thinking the same thing:If Momoko needed help saver her.
"Should we tell Momoko about Sakamoto being one of the Vipers"Bubbles asked. Buttercup nodded and the three girls sent the message.
'Momoko!Sakamoto became the leader of the Viper Gang! Be careful!
Momoko was shocked at the message but after seeing Sakamoto it actually fits. Sakamoto still has his shaggy brown hair. He is wearing ripped jeans,a black shirt with a viper on it and an orange jacket. His was swaying from side to side walking towards his ex-girlfriend.
"S-Sakamoto? Are you okay?"
"Momoko! Damn girl the years were good to you!" he said licking his lips. Momoko grimaced.
'Looks like I have my answer' the pink girl thought to herself.
Sakamoto put an arm around her but Momoko pushed him hard on the floor.
"What the hell?!" he said getting up wiping dirt of his pants.
"I'm not yours to touch.I have a boyfriend." Momoko said boldly. Yuichi, who was still in hearing range, smiled at her statement.
"Fuck him! What does he have that I don't?"
"Fresh breath" the redhead replied with wit. Sakamoto's breath wreaked with cigarettes and alcohol. It was impossible he is half drunk right now. Buttercup and Bubbles had to cover Bunny's mouth to quiet her laughing.
"Don't be like that,babe" Sakamoto said with with a perverted smirk toughing Momoko's butt. Yuichi's brothers and Aoki had to hold him back.
SMACK!
Momoko slapped Sakamoto while blushing. The smack effect echoed through the park. The PPGZ were proud of her, the vamps smirked, and Yuichi had the urge to walk over and kiss her but stayed where he still kept her pose with her right arm stretched over to her left and her face was stern. She wasn't going to let Sakamoto push her anymore. The pink girl was glad that her friends stood up for her but now she had to fight for herself,and she was doing well.
"You shouldn't have done that,bitch'' Sakamoto said darkly rubbing his new red snapped his fingers and five guys wearing Viper t-shirts or jackets came out of nowhere. Momoko was getting a bit nervous. She could beat these guys easily if transformed,but that would reveal her identity.
"Saka,whose the redhead?" one of them asked
"Back of Bora, she's mine"
"No I'm NOT!"
"Feisty one isn't she?" another gang member said.
"Yeah let's give her a welcome" Sakamoto said as they stepped up making Momoko step back. The pink teen was getting anxious she was nervous and wanted to scream and run away but despite the situation she stood her ground and put on a brave face.
'I'm stronger now...I won't let him scare me'
"You must be pussy if you need all these body guards with you" she said even-toned.
"These are my boys" he said smirking at the way Momoko was starting to lose balance. It would be the perfect opportunity to touch her. Momoko was started to wonder how long she can keep moving backwards until a tree hits her back. The shaggy brown-haired boy grabbed her arm.
"Get off me!" Momoko screamed while squirming to be free of the tight grip. She kicked his calves and it loosed a bit but still kept his grip.
"Now,now Momoko..." Sakamoto drifted off as he moved his face close to Momoko and his gang members surrounded them. The red-head closed her eyes and waited for the impact that never came.
WHOOSH!
POW!
"OWW!"
Momoko felt herself being pushed away from Sakamoto and into someone else's.
'This warmth...' The pair of pink eyes opened slowly to met ruby red ones. Yuichi gave her a quick smile and put Momoko behind him. The candy-lover looked around and saw her vampire friends smirk at her but glare at the viper.
"Minna..."(Guys...) Momoko whispered happily.
"Didn't you hear Momoko say let her go?" Yuichi asked angrily.
"Who the fuck are you?"
"I'm her boyfriend and keep your hands off MY Momoko!"
"This is the asshole your talking about?" The dark-orange eyes asked Momoko.
"He's NOT an asshole!" Momoko shouted.
"Shut up babe,we'll have fun after I-" he cut off by Yuichi's punch. By attacking their leader the other gang members started fighting the Mistake. Momoko backed up from the scene. Sakamoto whistled and three other Vipers came. The other gang members grabbed Momoko to keep her in place.
"Now where were we?" he said smirking. With Yuichi and the others battling there's no one else to help her.
A green sonic boom, a bunch of bubbles, and a purple light hit the Vipers that was holding Momoko. Scratch the 'no one is left to save her' comment. The PPGZ revealed themselves.
"What are you guys doing here?!" Takeshi called punching a guy in the gut.
"Same as you" Bunny said with a half smile. Momoko used the diversion to find a private place to transform.
"W-Where's Momoko?" Sakamoto asked himself looking around.
"Remember us?" the three PPGZ said in unison from behind them. Sakamoto paled a little at the memory of the beating he received from them three years ago.
"Hello ladies, it's been a while" he said nervously.
"Indeed it has" Bubbles said
"This won't be the same as last time" Sakamoto said getting the three Vipers to attack them. 'That should keep them busy so where's Momoko?' he thought.
"I told you she's mine and I won't let you harass her anymore!" Yuichi yelled determined after knocking out his previous opponent. Sakamoto punched him and Yuichi blocked it. Yuichi then punched Sakamoto in his face that slightly broke his jaw. The Viper leader retaliated by twisting his wrist but ended up on the floor when the red-capped boy flipped him. Sakamoto then pulled out a knife without Yuichi knowing,planning to uppercut him.
Before he could stab the red boy a yo-yo string wrapped around his wrist and pulled him so that the back of his head would hit a tree. Sakamoto groaned in pain dropping the knife. He looked at his new attacker trying to keep his eyes open. It was none other than the pink puff herself Blossom.
"Huh, I was wondering where you were 3 years ago" he said rubbing his head.
"Don't you think its unfair that you have a knife? What's the matter? You feel threatened?" Blossom asked going in scary mode.
"Not a chance!" he said getting up.
"That Momoko girl is safely home and I won't allow people like you to terrorize the girls of this city!" Blossom declared.
"Mind your business" Sakamoto spat. Blossom snapped and her yo-yo glowed pink.
"Pink Yo-Yo Toss!" Her yo-yo hit Sakamoto square in the nose and pink energy made the pain triple in damage. By the time the yo-yo bounced of his nose was dislocated.
"Strawberry Shoot!" the pink heroine cried finally doing what she wanted to do three years ago but the shock immobilized her. The red-eyed vamp smiled at the scene before him. He likes this determined/leader side of Blossom. Even when he was Brick, an enemy of the PPGZ, he admired that side of her in at her attack with a fuchsia aura was hot and scary at the same time. Blossom's revenge was cut short when police sirens were heard.
"Crap the cops are coming!"
"Let's get out of here!"
"Girls!" Blossom called getting out of Scary mode and into leader mode. The 3 girls appeared by her side while the vamps went to Yuichi.
"We have to keep them here,Buttercup!" The red-ribbon heroine signaled. Buttercup nodded with a smirk.
"Megaton Dunk!" The hammer smashed the ground letting a green light hit the Vipers' all fell to the ground but a couple were still up since they were further.
"Bunny!" Blossom signaled
"Roger!" Bunny said with a salute and wink.
"Diamond Arrow!" The purple scepter unleashed a purple,sparkly diamond-shaped ray that hit the remaining Vipers making them fall like dominoes. Sakamoto was seen coming out from behind a bolder.
"Oh no you don't!" Blossom flew in the air preparing to attack her worst nightmare.
"Blossom Finish!" Blossom's famous ribbon glowed in a dark pink removed it off her head and it turned into 's hair was all out.
"Ribbon Boomerang!" Blossom shouted flinging her ribbon at Sakamoto making it slice his back. Bullseye. Blossom smirked as her ribbon returned to her as silk instead of metal.
"Go Bloss!"Bunny said.
"I din't know you could do that" Raiden said.
"We need to get out of here the cops are here!" Yuichi announced to everyone.
"Bubs we need cover!" Blossom said.
"Hai!" Bubbles said smiling getting her bubble wand ready.
"Bubble Spray!" she cheered blowing white bubbles out of her wand surrounding the area in mist. The Vipers were gaining consciousness and a few members helped their leader up.
"Where the hell did all this mist come from?!" a Viper said.
From the top of a hill the group watched the cops arrive wondering about the mist.
"Blondie, you should get rid off the mist before the Vipers take advantage and leave" Takeshi said.
"Um about that..."Bubbles said getting everyone's attention.
"I can only make mist,not get rid off it" she said smiling nervously. Raiden hugged her from behind while everyone else anime falls.
"Really?" Aoki and Satoshi asked with disbelief.
"Satoshi do your thing" Yuichi said after getting up. He looked around to make sure no witnesses were around since they were in a park after all.
"Wind Blast!" he said. The dark brunette inhaled and exhaled powerful winds that were amazingly able to reach downhill. The mist covering the area disappeared within seconds. The PPGZ eyes were wide in amazement.
"H-How did you?" Bunny started
"Wind is my element remember?" he said smirking.
"Those bastards are lucky we can't use our powers in public our everyone one of them would've been dead" Takeshi said.
"I'm proud of you" Yuichi said pulling Blossom into a hug which made the pink leader blush.
"Me too you kicked ass out there leader girl" Buttercup said making her smile.
'I kept my promise BC' Blossom said in the green puff's mind.
'I'm glad you did' the dark-haired heroine replied.
Blossom was really proud of herself and was touched that Yuichi's brothers,Tsuki, and Aoki came to help. She was happy and sad. Happy that she really did get stronger but said because Sakamoto got worse. She was hoping after her friends beat him up it would teach him a lesson,but instead made him a watched as he and other Vipers get arrested and felt bad for him. The pink yo-yo expert knew if she went downhill and kept him out of jail he would just terrorize another girl or cause more trouble. He needed to be locked up so no other girl would have to go through what she went through. Yuichi wiped a tear from Blossom's cheek that she herself didn't even know was there. Blossom walked ahead and looked at the sunset sky...her sky.
It was soft pink again with a layer of orange that matched her hair perfectly. The same four clouds were in the sky but this time they were arranged clouds were side-by-side and the wind pushed the other two clouds under it to form a line that curved a looked like a 's when she understood the messages in her sky. The first time when a cloud was being towards the other three it symbolized Momoko having friends that are always with her.(The three clouds being Miyako,Kimiko,and Kaoru and the cloud being pushed Momoko). It taught her that she wasn't alone. The sunset sky spread out her now had four clouds forming a smile. The sign in this one more obvious. The Sakamoto drama is over,all her friends are here so she should had happy/sad tears pouring out of eyes at the sight in front of her but she obeyed the sky anyway.
"Minna..." Blossom said turning around revealing her tears and a genuine smile"Arigato".
"Eh, don't worry about it Pinky" Takeshi said blushing slightly at the sight of a suddenly teary Momoko while everyone else just smiled gently at her.
Bubbles hugged her leader, then Bunny right after, and Buttercup last. Soon everyone one got into the group hug and rocked the pink heroine to ease her tears. This was going to be the last time Blossom/Momoko would she tears for Sakamoto,not that he deserved it anyway. Everyone just kept holding each other enjoying the comfort of the pink sky above them.
Today Blossom learned that she herself is strong,but she is invincible when her nakama(friends) are with her.
