Amnesia Chapter 7:

A Meeting

Ichigo had called all the Mews and aliens together, to talk about what to do. Keiichiro was mad at them, and now they had to decide what to do about the truce.

"If we can get Keiichiro to cooperate, maybe you guys could take all our Mew Aqua and use it to heal your planet," Lettuce said.

"Good idea," Ichigo said. "But what about the aliens' leader?"

"I know how to kill him," Pai said. "His human host is Aoyama Masaya. If we kill him, there won't be a problem- except our people might not be too happy afterwards."

"Well, if we convince Keiichiro, he's got two extra rooms," Zakuro said. "And I'm sure that Kisshu could live here. We just need to soften up Ichigo's dad a bit."

"What's wrong with Ichigo's dad?" Kisshu asked.

"He's way too overprotective and hates boys," Ichigo said. "My mom might be able to help, though."

"Good," Zakuro said. "Your mom seems like a nice person, and she knows you're old enough to make decisions. You might have to pretend that you're not a couple for a while though."

"Okay," Kisshu said. "Ichigo, when are your parents coming back?"

"Two weeks from now," Ichigo said. "We've got plenty of time to kill Aoyama and think up a cover story for why Kisshu is staying here."

"Okay," Pai said. "Why don't Taruto and I go kill Aoyama, while the rest of you try to convince Keiichiro to give us the Mew Aqua and let us stay?"

"Sounds fine," Ichigo said. Pai nodded to Taruto and they teleported out. Ichigo turned to the others and said, "Let's go talk to Keiichiro. Kisshu, you should come too, I don't think it's good to leave you out of this."

"Okay," Kisshu said.

Ichigo turned to Zakuro and said, "Zakuro-san, I think you should do most of the talking. I think Keiichiro has a thing for you. He keeps looking at you when he thinks no one's looking."

Zakuro actually blushed slightly, but said, "Fine…. Let's go."

The others followed her to Café Mew Mew, which was closed. Ichigo took out a key and opened the door, then went in, followed by the others. The front room and the kitchen were deserted, so they went to the basement. Ichigo peeked around the door, and saw Keiichiro sitting in a chair, looking rather depressed.

Ichigo knocked, and they heard Keiichiro say "Who's there?"

Ichigo opened the door, and said, "It's us, Keiichiro."

"Oh…." Keiichiro said. "What's up?"

"We wanted to talk to you," Zakuro said, catching Ichigo's signal.

"Is this about forming a truce?" Keiichiro said.

"Lettuce had an idea," Zakuro said. "She said that we should give the aliens the Mew Aqua to use on their planet, rather than letting them take Earth."

"And do the aliens agree to this?" Keiichiro asked.

"Yes, but Pai and Taruto said they might need somewhere to live afterwards," Zakuro said. "They just went off to kill their leader's human host, so we won't have problems with him. They're worried that their people might not be too happy with that, and they might need to live on Earth."

"And I suppose you want them to live here?" Keiichiro said. "I only have two rooms, remember?"

"Kisshu's already living with Ichigo," Zakuro said. "You'd only need to house Pai and Taruto."

"Wait, why is Kisshu living with Ichigo already?" Keiichiro asked.

"I found Kisshu wandering around downtown about a week ago," Ichigo said. "He has complete amnesia, so I brought him home with me. And my parents are still in Paris for another two weeks."

"Kisshu has amnesia?" Keiichiro asked.

"Yeah," Ichigo said. "He also somehow turned human. Look." She pulled Kisshu over, and Keiichiro looked startled.

"Kisshu, you don't remember anything?" Keiichiro asked.

"Not really," Kisshu said. "This morning I remembered I was in love with Ichigo, but even though Pai and Taruto say they're my brothers, I don't remember anything about them. And I don't remember much of anything about myself. Ichigo told me my name when we met, though."

"You didn't even remember your name?" Keiichiro asked.

"No," Kisshu said. "I guess I should ask Pai if I have a last name, I forgot."

Keiichiro seemed a bit unsure of what to say. "Why didn't Ryou tell me?" he asked finally.

"Ryou broke into my house, knocked me out, kidnapped Kisshu, and started torturing him," Ichigo said. "That's why we killed him. Didn't Pai tell you?"

"Um… I kind of hung up after he said, 'Ryou is dead'," Keiichiro said. "I guess I should have listened to the full story." Then he sighed. "I'll give Pai and Taruto the Mew Aqua, and if they need to live here, they can," Keiichiro said. "I do wonder what caused Kisshu to turn into a human, though."

"Pai didn't know either," Ichigo said. "I guess it'll stay a mystery."

"Is it possible that Kisshu somehow turned himself human?" Keiichiro asked.

"I guess," Ichigo said. "If he was fooling around with Pai's equipment, he might have triggered something by accident. I'll ask Pai later."

"Kisshu, do you know if you were playing with Pai's stuff?" Keiichiro asked.

"No," Kisshu said. "I thought I was born human, but Ichigo's friend with purple hair said I was an alien."

"My name is Zakuro," Zakuro said.

"Sorry, I forgot that too," Kisshu said. "Um… what were the rest of your names again?"

"I'm Lettuce," Lettuce said.

"My name's Pudding, na no da!"

"I'm Mint."

"Thanks," Kisshu said.

The others smiled. Pudding turned to Ichigo and said, "Ichigo-oneechan, I'm glad Kisshu-oniichan is on our side, along with Pai-oniisan and Taru-Taru."

"Who's Taru-Taru?" Kisshu asked.

"That's Pudding's nickname for Taruto," Ichigo explained. Her cell phone rang, and she jumped. She looked at the caller ID, and quickly opened the phone. "Mom?" she asked.

"We're coming home a bit earlier," Sakura said.

"Okay, when?" Ichigo said.

"Tomorrow afternoon," Sakura replied.

"I have something to discuss when you get back," Ichigo said. "See you tomorrow."

"Bye sweetie!" Sakura said, and hung up.

Ichigo sighed. "My parents will be home tomorrow afternoon," she said. "Let's think up a cover story for you, Kisshu."

Before they could get farther, though, Pai and Taruto teleported in and said, "Okay, we lured Aoyama into an alley and killed him there, so the problem of our leader should be solved."

"What did Aoyama have to do with this?" Keiichiro asked.

"He was our leader's human host," Pai said. "Did you guys get things worked out here?"

"Yes," Keiichiro said. "I will give you the Mew Aqua to help your planet, and you and Taruto can live here if things don't work out for you."

Pai and Taruto bowed. "Thank you, Keiichiro," Pai said. "We should probably go back soon, so can we have the Mew Aqua?"

"Sure, I'll get it," Keiichiro said. He went to a safe and pulled out a bag, then gave it to Pai.

Pai looked in, and said, "This is more than enough. Thank you."

"You're welcome," Keiichiro said. "Is Kisshu staying here while you go back?"

"It's better that way," Pai said. "He's human now, and our people don't like humans much."

"Okay," Keiichiro said. "Ichigo just got a call saying her parents will be home tomorrow. Good luck on healing your planet."

"Thanks, we'll need it," Pai said. "Kisshu, good luck with Ichigo's parents. You too, Ichigo."

"Thanks, I think we'll need all the luck we can get," Ichigo said.

Pai and Taruto nodded, then teleported off.

Ichigo turned to the others and said, "Let's go home, minna."
