Amnesia Chapter 24:

Cyniclonia

About 9 hours later, the ship's intercom came on and said, "Please stay seated, we're about to enter Cyniclonia's atmosphere."

Everyone quickly took a seat, as the ship got bumpy. A few minutes later, it evened out, and the intercom came on again, saying, "We're here. Leave the luggage here for now, we need to go meet with our leader."

Pai and Genji teleported in soon after and said, "Okay, all of you grab one of us, we'll teleport you to our leader's mansion."

The Mews and Kisshu obeyed, and soon they were standing in front of a large mansion. A Cyniclon in a guard's uniform came up to them and said, "Are these our guests?"

"Hai," Maya said.

"Haroshi-sama is expecting you," the guard said. "Come in." He opened the door, and they were met by another guard, who said, "Come with me, Haroshi-sama is expecting you." The Mews, Kisshu, and the Cyniclons followed him into the mansion, and to a large door. The guard knocked, and a voice said, "Come in!" The guard opened the door, and ushered the group in. He didn't go in with them.

The room was huge, and in the center, a Cyniclon man was sitting in a throne-like chair. Maya and Genji both went down on one knee, the others copying them.

"Maya, Genji, you have both done well, bringing our guests here," the man said.

"Thank you, Haroshi-sama," Maya said respectfully.

Haroshi-sama nodded and said, "You all may rise." They did so, and Haroshi-sama asked, "Which one of you is Mew Ichigo?"

Ichigo stepped forward slightly, and said, "I am."

"It's a pleasure to meet you and your team," Haroshi-sama said. "I'm sure you'd like to know more about the request I've made of you, but there is one thing I'm worried about. There's a rumor going around that Ikisatashi Kisshu has lost his memory, and is now unable to fight. Is this true?"

"Hai," Ichigo said. "Kisshu has lost all memory, and also turned human. He has no way of fighting."

Haroshi-sama sighed. "I was hoping that was just a rumor," he muttered. "But the rest of you can fight, correct?"

"Hai," Ichigo said.

"Very well," Haroshi-sama said. "I wanted Kisshu to fight, but I think it might be better to have him work in the hospital, since he's lost his fighting ability. The rest of you will most likely be called on to fight any time there's an attack. There hasn't been one in a few days, but I'm guessing the Kuritara are just waiting for the right moment to attack. In the meantime, I'm inviting you all to stay here, and you are free to come and go as you please. Maya and Genji will accompany you if you leave here, since they know this place better than most. I'll have someone show you to your rooms here, and your luggage will be brought here too."

"Thank you, Haroshi-sama," Pai said. "We appreciate your hospitality."

Haroshi-sama nodded, and pressed a button on a panel next to his throne. A few minutes later, a woman in a maid's uniform came in and bowed. "Please show our guests to their rooms," Haroshi-sama told her.

"Hai," the woman said, and motioned to the group. They followed her out the door, and she closed it, before saying, "Some of you are sharing, there are quite a few people living here. The match-ups are Kisshu and Mew Ichigo, Pai and Mew Lettuce, Mew Mint and Mew Zakuro, Taruto and Mew Pudding, and Rikia and Maya. Genji is still rooming with his friends in the army. I'm sorry."

"That's fine," Genji said. "I do wonder about the match-ups being co-ed, though."

"Don't tell anyone, but I think I heard Haroshi-sama snickering over those match-ups after talking to Ikisatashi Kasumi," the woman said. "I bet it was planned after Kasumi went to Earth and found out her sons all had girlfriends." She sighed. "I hope you don't mind. I'll show you which rooms are which."

"Yay! Pudding gets to sleep in the same room as Taru-Taru, na no da!" Pudding said.

The woman smiled and said, "Let's go."

She led them to Pudding and Taruto's room first. It was large, with two double beds, and two dressers. There was a nightstand between the beds, and a lamp on it. Their luggage was deposited neatly on the beds. Pudding and Taruto went in and looked around. Suddenly Taruto said, "Look Pudding! CANDY!"

Everyone facepalmed. The woman who was leading them around looked quizzical. Pai noticed and said, "Pudding and Taruto get very hyper, very easily, and sugar doesn't help."

"And now that they've noticed it, we're all doomed," Ichigo sighed. "We might want to lock them up until they crash from sugar high."

"Oops," the woman said. "I have a key, but is that really a good idea?"

Ichigo looked into the room. Pudding and Taruto were going through the two large bags of candy, and comparing who had more chocolate. "They won't notice for a while," she said.

"Ichigo's right," Pai said. "It's better to contain them, unless you want a mess later."

"Okay," the woman said, and took a key out of her pocket. She quietly closed the door, and locked it. "Should I give you the key for later?" she asked.

"I'll take it," Pai said. "If they're still hyper, I'll just put them in a force field till morning."

"Alright," the woman said, and handed Pai the key. He pocketed it, and she said, "Your room and Lettuce's is down here." She went a little further down the hall, and opened another door. This room also had two beds, and it was about the same as Pudding and Taruto's. Pai and Lettuce's luggage was there too, and they went in.

The next room was for Mint and Zakuro, and it was basically the same deal. Then they came to Ichigo and Kisshu's room. This one was different. There was a king-sized bed in the middle of the room, with two dressers, two nightstands, and two lamps. The woman showing them around facepalmed. "I cannot believe that man," she muttered.

"Kisshu and I have slept together before, we're fine," Ichigo said. "We're responsible, you don't have to worry."

The woman sighed and said, "But you're fourteen!"

"Actually, I'm thirteen," Ichigo said. "Kisshu's fourteen. Believe me, we'll be fine. My dad lets us sleep together, and he's the strictest guy you'll ever meet when it comes to boyfriend-girlfriend stuff."

"Okay…" the woman said. "You can go in, I'll show Maya and Rikia their room." She led the other two off, muttering about 'irresponsible leaders who think it's funny to play matchmaker'.

Ichigo closed the door, and she and Kisshu burst out laughing. "I don't know what she's so worked up about, she's worse than my dad," Ichigo said. "Still, I find it funny to think the leader of the Cyniclons is trying to play matchmaker."

There was a knock on the door, and Ichigo opened it. Maya was standing there, and she said, "Do you guys want to go see Kasumi?"

"Sure," Ichigo said. "Is anyone else coming?"

"No, Pai's still scared of her and the others are unpacking," Maya said. "Come on, I'll teleport you." She took them both by the shoulder, and teleported.

They landed near an area that looked like a village square. "Kasumi lives down here," Maya said, pointing to a street. She led them across the square, and to a house. Then she knocked on the door. It was opened by a Cyniclon man, who said, "Maya? I thought you were at the mansion."

"We were, but I decided to bring Kisshu and Ichigo for a visit," Maya said. "Is Aunt Kasumi around?"

"No, she went shopping," the man said. Then he looked at Kisshu and Ichigo and said, "I'm sorry, I should have introduced myself. I'm Ganju, Pai and Taruto's father and Kisshu's adoptive father."

"It's nice to meet you," Ichigo said. "I suppose you've heard the news about Kisshu?"

"Yes," Ganju said sadly. "Kasumi was really upset when she came back. Not to mention still pretty mad at Pai."

"Yeah, Pai told us she really let him have it," Kisshu said. "In a way, I'm glad I lost my memory. If I hadn't, Ichigo and I wouldn't be together, and we wouldn't have formed a truce."

"I'm surprised you're so calm about it," Ganju said. "You don't mind that you'll probably never get your memory back?"

"Not really," Kisshu said. "I'm fine as I am, and it's pointless to worry about something that will never happen."

"I guess that's a good attitude," Ganju said. "I just wish Kasumi wasn't so depressed over it."

"Is she still at the market?" Ichigo asked.

"Yeah, she said she had a lot to get," Ganju said. "Do you want to go find her?"

"Yeah," Kisshu said. "Maya, can you take us?"

"Sure," Maya said. "Uncle Ganju, it was nice to see you again."

"You too," Ganju said. "Take care now."

Maya nodded and said, "Should we walk? It's nice out."

"Sure," Ichigo said. They walked out of the house, and Maya led them back to the square. Halfway there, a girl came up to them. "Kisshu?" she asked.

"Yes?" Kisshu asked, puzzled.

"What happened to your ears?" she asked.

"I apparently accidentally turned myself human," Kisshu said. "Who are you?"

"You don't remember? I'm your girlfriend," the girl said.

Kisshu looked even more puzzled. "No, Ichigo's my girlfriend," he said.

The girl looked at Ichigo, then said, "Why would you choose that slut over me?"

"Ichigo is NOT a slut!" Kisshu shouted. Suddenly his eyes went blank.

"Kisshu, are you okay?" Ichigo asked.

Instead of answering, Kisshu suddenly clutched his head, crying out in pain. Then his body began to glow, and he collapsed, screaming once before falling unconscious. Ichigo caught him as he fell, scared. His body was still glowing, and as they watched, his ears started to change shape. They lengthened into normal Cyniclon ears, and his skin got paler. "He changed back?" Maya asked.

"Looks like it," Ichigo said. "We need to get back and tell Pai about this, he might be able to help."

Maya nodded and took Ichigo's shoulder, then teleported her and Kisshu back to their room in the mansion. Maya pulled back the blankets on the bed, and Ichigo tucked Kisshu in after taking his shoes off. "Go get Pai, I'll stay with him," Ichigo told Maya. Maya teleported out as Ichigo put a hand on Kisshu's forehead. Then she bit her lip, worried. Kisshu had a fever.

Pai teleported in a minute later, just as Kisshu started to wake up. "Kisshu, how are you feeling?" Ichigo asked.

Kisshu turned his head, looking startled. "Koneko-chan? Why are you here?" he asked. "I thought you hated me."

"Kisshu, what's the last thing you remember?" Ichigo asked.

"Pai slammed me into a wall," Kisshu said.

"That was six months ago," Pai said.

"Jeez, you slammed me into the wall so hard I was in a coma?" Kisshu asked.

"No, actually you got an extremely severe case of amnesia and haven't been able to remember anything for the past six months," Pai said. "On top of that, you turned yourself human."

"But why is Ichigo here?" Kisshu asked.

"You two started dating six months ago," Pai said. "She found you in downtown Tokyo and took you home, and soon after that, we formed a truce with the Mews. You've been living with her and her family for six months, since we all got exiled for killing Deep Blue's human host. Taruto and I were taken in by Keiichiro, and Mrs. Momomiya's been homeschooling you. And Ichigo's family also took in Rikia after she came to see us. We all thought you'd never get your memory back."

Kisshu, naturally, only focused on one point. "Koneko-chan and I are dating?" he asked.

"Yes," Ichigo said. "I realized that you're really the only one for me, after the treehugger dumped me and I took you in. After living with you for a while, I realized that I loved you all along, I was just too starry-eyed over Aoyama to notice."

"Really?" Kisshu asked excitedly.

"Really," Ichigo said with a smile. "How are you feeling? You collapsed earlier, when you got your memory back."

"I don't really feel that good," Kisshu admitted. "I've got a really bad headache, and I'm feeling kind of shaky."

"You've got a fever," Ichigo said. "I'm guessing the headache's from getting all your memories back at once."

"Pai, can you do anything about this?" Kisshu asked.

Pai came over and put a hand on Kisshu's forehead. His hand began to glow, and Kisshu's body relaxed as he fell asleep. Pai put his other hand on Kisshu's chest, and both hands began to glow. Finally Pai took his hands away, and said, "That should do it, but that was a pretty bad fever. He needs to sleep off the healing, so we just have to wait."

"Can I stay with him?" Ichigo asked.

"Of course," Pai said. "I'll go inform Haroshi-sama that we have another fighter."

Ichigo nodded as Pai teleported out.

Well, Kisshu got most of his memory back. I hope this pleases people, and now Kisshu can fight again, too! Review plz!
