Tokyo Mew Mew: An American Mew?

Chapter 3: Decisions and Betrayal

Hey guys!! I updated sooner than I thought I would be able to! Hope you like this chapter! I'm really happy with how everyone is responding to this! I love you guys so much!! 

Heirii’s Point of View:

I started stuttering, not knowing what else to do. “Wha-what do you me-mean? I wasn’t lying t-to you??” Way to sound convincing, smart one. Pudding stood up, and pointed at me, and yelled “That’s not even believable! Pudding trusted you! Why did you lie?” My heart sank, I didn’t want to, I just didn’t know what to do. “What do you mean you didn’t know what to do?” Lettuce asked me confused. Crap, I said that out loud. “Um, I just…didn’t know how to handle something like this. I’m so sorry guys.” I mutter, hanging my head down. I feel someone hug me, and I see Ichigo’s red hair, so I know it’s her. I hug her back immediately, and we stay like that for a while. When she pulled back, she looked me dead in the eyes, and said “You didn’t have to try to deal with that by yourself. You should’ve come to us. We would’ve helped you!” I sigh, “I know, but I just feel trapped, I’m sorry for deceiving you guys.” “Stop apologizing, we already forgive you.” Mint said with an annoyed look on her face. I stepped back with a shocked look on my face. They still don’t know the truth, and yet they forgive me ALREADY??? “Really?” I say disbelievingly, and they all nod. “Well, there is something else I need to tell you then.” I say, giving in. I’m going to tell them I’m a Mew. They all look at me quizzically, and just as I’m about to tell them, I see Kisshu standing behind them, glaring at us. I freeze, and then mumble out another excuse. “I did see the red Mew, but it was briefly, she ran away really fast.” I look back to where Kisshu was, and I just see him smirk before disappearing again. WHAT THE HECK DID YOU JUST DO?? Make up your mind on whose side you’re on! Pull it together man! They look at me with there mouths a little “o” shape. “That’s why you were acting so weird when we saw you. But why didn’t you tell us then?” Ichigo questioned me again. “I-I don’t know, I guess I panicked. Haha, sorry.” I say lamely, giving them a small smile. They nod in understanding, and then Pudding randomly yells out that she’s hungry. I bust out laughing at that, and so does everyone else. They lead me to the kitchen, where I see all these desserts sitting out. My mouth hangs open, and I feel like I’m drooling. Lettuce laughs at me, and Mint just gives me a good looking piece of cake. “Eat up!” I quickly obey, grabbing a fork, and take my first bite. “Aahhh!!!! It’s so good!!!!” I squeal happily, digging into the rest of it. Pudding agrees, and we end up eating over half the desserts on the table. I sit back, sighing in happiness. “That was delicious! I’ll have to thank Keiichiro again!!!!” Ichigo says lazily. “Who’s Keiichiro?” I ask. “He’s one of our bosses. He and Shirogane are our bosses for the Mew Project.” Zakuro answers me. So I’d have to work with them…hmmm. I go up to the window, and look out. The sun is coming down, and I remember I told my mom I’d only be out for a bit. “Oh man! Guys, my mom is going to kill me!! I didn’t tell her I was going to stay out this late! I gotta go now!” I rush saying, running over to the door. “Sorry Heirii! Bye!” Lettuce quickly says, and I give a curt nod, and run out the door. I run into somebody again, falling just like I had the last time. I’ve got to quit falling down everywhere!!! I look up, seeing it was the same jerk that knocked me down last time. “Sorry, I didn’t see you there.” He replied uninterested, and looked at Ichigo’s door. He must be Keiichiro or Shirogane. “Yeah, obviously! That’s the second time you’ve knocked me down!!” I say angrily, picking myself off the ground. He just gives me a hard look, saying “I don’t have time to deal with a klutz. So please go away.” I snap, get up right in his face and yell at him. “You’re an annoying jerk you know that! You don’t care about anything or anyone do you? If I punch you, I’m just going to say I didn’t mean to and walk off. How would you like that?” He just stares back at me. He must be yelled at a lot… “I wouldn’t care. I doubt you can punch that hard.” THAT TEARS IT!! I cock my fist back, and punch him as hard as I can right in the gut. He looks surprised, but he doubled over when I hit him. “Looks like I can punch hard, huh?” I snap at him, and then I turn away from him, walking away. I look back once, and he’s giving me a glare, still holding his stomach. I just smirk at him as I leave, and exit the hotel. I’m sprinting home, trying not to be so late. Just who the heck does that guy think he is? He really ticks me off!!! I get home, throwing the door open, seeing my mom look at me sternly. “I’m sorry! I lost track of time!” I say pleadingly, hoping she’ll understand. She sighs, “I knew you did. I just expect a text or phone call next time. Understand?” I nod quickly, then go to hug her. “When is daddy coming home?” I whisper into her. “He’ll be home soon enough, sweetheart. Don’t you worry.” I sigh, then excuse myself to my room. After getting ready for bed, I lay down, staring up at my ceiling. Why did seeing Kisshu change my answer? Why can’t I make a choice? I groan, rolling around, putting my face in my pillow. I scream into it, and sit up, huffing. “Who knew a decision would be so hard??” I mutter, sitting up on my bed, and look out my window. I scream and jump, for I see Kisshu floating there. “He he, looks like I scared you Foxy.” He grinned, leaning onto my railing. I was clutching my chest, because he did scare the poo out of me!! “Yeah! You did! So don’t do that again!!” I say, but blush a bit, remembering the last time I saw Kisshu. “What are you thinking bout? You remember my kiss?” He says cockily, and I look defiantly back at him. “No. I wasn’t!” I say, trying to act brave, but inside I was shaking. He comes closer, and grabs my chin, tilting my head up towards his. “Well, maybe I should make you remember then?” He grins, and starts leaning in. My eyes go wide, and I have no idea what to do. Right before he kisses my lips, I push him off. “Why should I let you??” I growl at him. He simply laughs. “Just keep trying to fight me. I know you want me, or else you wouldn’t have made up a lie when you saw me at Ichigo’s. Am I right there?” He says, his voice dripping with sweetness. I just look at him shocked. “I just don’t want anyone getting hurt. At all!!” I answer back, feeling my eyes starting to mist up. Kisshu looks at me hard, saying “You just don’t get it, do you? Someone has to get hurt; it’s the way this goes. But if you become mine, I will spare you and your family.” I look at him with hopeful eyes, but then I remember what he means by that. “What about everybody else? Can’t we all just get along!!?” I beg frantically. He starts to look angry now. “I’ve given you this offer, and yet you ask for more?!?!” I back away from him, running into my wall. “I-I just thought…” I say quietly, but he cut me off by yelling again. “No!! How could you not understand what I’m saying, Heirii!! Someday I’ll make you mine, and you will understand!” I stand up against the wall, afraid of what he’s going to do next. “If you don’t become mine, I will end you myself.” He said harshly. My eyes widen even more, if that’s even possible, and I start shaking. He holds his hands out, and two swords appear in them. This is it? This is how it’s going to end? He starts walking towards me now, holding the swords down by his side. “You could’ve made a better choice, Heirii.” He said darkly, almost in front of me now. I looked around, and saw I could slip by him if he lifted up his arms. I just had to wait. Just as I had planned, he lifted his arm up to strike me and I bolted through his arms, and ran towards my window. “Heirii! Don’t try to run! It won’t work.” He growled menacingly, and starting after me again. I looked towards my window, seeing it as my only escape. I have no other choice. I’m going to have to jump. I ran towards it, and jumped out my window, hoping I land on my feet. My animal instincts I now have must’ve kicked in, and I landed on my feet. I look up, seeing Kisshu above me. Okay, now what? I look around, and I see an abandoned lot just a bit away. Bingo! I start running, feeling Kisshu flying behind me. I reach the lot, and I know I can’t do this by myself. Or at least a normal human. I grab my pendant, but before I can transform, Kisshu knocks me over, and I fall down to the ground, though I keep a grip on my pendant. He stands over me, and puts the swords across my neck. “Why don’t you just die now?” he says with an evil look on his face. I can’t move without getting sliced! What can I do??? I decide to try and distract him, so…I yell at him. “What are you going to accomplish my killing me? There are still five other Mew’s out there!! You obviously fail every time you face them!!” His face gets angrier and angrier, but I can tell that the swords have lifted just a tad off of my neck. I take my chance, and kick him in the shins, making him fall. I get up quickly, and yell “Mew Mew Heirii! Metamorphosis!!!” My body started glowing, and I felt my ears and tail pop out. When the transformation was complete, I looked back up at Kisshu. He takes me by surprise, and hits me with an explosion. I flew back into a concrete wall, wincing as my back hit. I drag myself up, willing myself not to give up yet. I stick my hand out, and say “Heirii Staff!” My rod appears in my hand, and I hold it in front of me, ready to attack when I need to. Kisshu laughs at me, “Do you really think that’s a good idea, Foxy? You aren’t that strong, are you?” I grimace, but I hold my ground. “I’ll never give up! No matter whose side I’m on!” I say forcefully. His eyes widen, then he smiles. “You’re really going to pull that? You can’t be on both sides!” I could tell that he was getting upset, so I gave him an answer that would make him think. “Who says I can’t? We both have our reasons to fight! I’m protecting the people I love, and you’re fighting for the ones you love. Is there a difference? Why can’t we get along, Kisshu? Haven’t you ever thought about that?” He stays silent for a while, them gives me a hard look. “Are all humans the same?” I’m shocked by what he said, and I don’t understand it. He flies down, landing on the ground. “Don’t be selfish, Foxy. You want both, when you know it’s impossible.” I put my head down, but that was a mistake. The next thing I know, I’m being slammed into a wall, Kisshu holding me there. I look up into his eyes fearfully, and I realize how scared I am of him. “It’s not that hard of a choice.” He says, struggling to keep me down. I keep trying to fight him, but he’s a lot stronger than he looks. Finally breaking free, I hit him in the side with my rod, sending him backwards. “No! It is a hard choice Kisshu!” I yell at him, trying to make him understand my point of view. “Heh, sure.” He glances over, and I see the other Mews appearing. “I’ll see you again Foxy.” With that, he disappeared, leaving me to once again fend for myself with the Mews. I look at them, but they are already to me. “You’re hurt!” Pudding exclaimed, looking me over. I can’t talk! They’d recognize my voice! I just nod, then start walking away. “Heirii, stop.” Zakuro said, and I froze, my eyes widening. I slowly turn, facing them. Ichigo’s eyes widen in recognition. “Oh my gosh…it is you!” They all seem to see through me now, and I know I’m caught. “Yeah, it is me.” I say, hanging my head. Next thing I know, I’m being dragged into a hug by everyone. “What are you guys…?” I start, but Ichigo cut me off. “I know now why you didn’t tell us. It’s okay Heirii. Really, it is. We’re just glad you’re safe, on our side, and that we know who the 6th Mew is.” She says with a smile, and I feel truly grateful to have her as a friend. “Thank you Ichigo, Pudding, Lettuce, Zakuro, and Mint. It means a lot to me.” I smile sincerely, knowing I hadn’t done that in a long time. It feels good to actually smile…it’s been awhile. They start to lead me away, but I still feel as if I’m betraying them. They don’t know what happened; they didn’t know I was close to being on Kisshu’s side. I sighed inwardly, but let them lead me to the hotel. It’s going to be an eventful evening.
