Sour Strawberries: Part 7

‘Ichigo, what are you doing? Run away now you still can!’ Aoyama-kun said to her, but Ichigo didn’ t make a move that looked like she would follow up his order. Instead of running, she wrapped her arms around the body from the alien boy. ‘Why aren’ t you listening to me?’ he asked to her. ‘Because I don’ t need to do what you say to me! We’ re not a couple anymore, remember? And beside that, I don’ t want to run away from someone who won’ t even tried to hurt like you did. Kisshu truly loves me!’ When she spoke out her last words, both boys were surprised. Kisshu was touched by his little kitten, but Aoyama-kun was getting angry. ‘Nani? You mean after only one day, you already have someone else?!’ he screamed. ‘Not like you needed to know! I don’ t want to have any more businesses with a jerk like you! You’ re a liar! You hear me? You told me you loved me and always would stay by my side, but you broke that promise. So I have the right to be together with someone else, and there’ s nothing you can change about that!’ Aoyama-kun’ s face frowned together into an angry expression that Ichigo never had seen before. A bit frightened, she grabbed Kisshu’ s shirt in her hand and he pressed her body against his chest. ‘Like you wish... But remember that I’ m never going to save you again when enemies are attacking you, so you’ ll easily die.’ Aoyama-kun said with a dark voice. ‘Like I need your help! I already have someone else who’ s going to protect me! I-’ She didn’ t came further because a huge electric blue coloured ball hit her in her stomach, and she flew a few metres away.

‘Ichigo!’ Kisshu screamed, when the red haired girl was being separated from him. Aoyama-kun laughed loudly, and Kisshu turned around with a hateful face at the boy who changed into his second form. A blond guy in blue clothes and a sword in his hand was standing face to face with the green haired alien. ‘Don’ t you dare touch her again!’ he screamed to the Blue Knight. Again, a laugh came out of the mouth from the other alien. ‘Or else?’ he asked on a defying tone. ‘Dragon Swords.’ Kisshu said, and a pair of sai’ s appeared in his hands. With his weapons, he flew to the direction from his opponent and began to attack him. The Blue Knight blocked his sai’ s with his sword, and heat sparkles were flowing in the blue sky when the three weapons clashed into each other. ‘Do you really think you can win from me?’ the Blue Knight asked with a devilish smirk on his face. Kisshu only reacted with a scream while he tried to attack the other alien again, but he got hit by the Blue Knight’ s sword. A deep scar on his arm began to blood after he fell on the ground. His amber coloured eyes noticed Ichigo who was laying unconscious against the wall, a few red coloured rays coming out of her mouth and her school uniform was torn by the sudden hit she got. “Ichigo...” Kisshu thought, looking at the red haired girl. Then, he felt how a sword was stabbed in his back and the alien began to yell in pain. Aoyama-kun, who was still in his Blue Knight form, laughed like a maniac when he heard Kisshu screaming. By the noise, Ichigo woke up and saw the picture of Kisshu being beaten up by her ex-boyfriend.

She lay a hand on her head, and slowly got up. She heard Kisshu’ s screams of intense pain and she couldn’ t stand it. She took her Mew Pendant, pressed a kiss on it and then yelled the magical words who would transform her. ‘Mew Mew Strawberry... METHAMORPHO-SIS!’ Her school uniform was disappearing, and she touched the Mew Sign on her leg. A pink light surrounded her body, and she felt how her dress appeared. As the same for the gloves around her hands. Her black cat ears popped out of her pink hair, and a pink ribbon with a cat bell around it appeared around her tail. Her booths touched her knees, and she opened her eyes again. The grey colour was replaced by a pink one, and she felt a strong power floating in her body. ‘Hold it right there!’ she said. The Blue Knight astonished looked up when he heard a girl voice, and a grin appeared on his face when he saw the pink Mew. Her pendant shined in the light from the sun, and her eyes were full of emotion. ‘Ai no Kishi... I’ m not letting you hurt someone who is precious to me!’ she said. ‘For the Earth’ s future, I’ ll be of service. ~Nya!’ she said, while striking her popular pose. ‘So, you’ve finally showed yourself, Mew Ichigo,’ the blonde guy said to her, he took his sword out of Kisshu’ s back and pointed it in Ichigo’ s direction. Blood dripped of the silver weapon, and Ichigo looked at it with big scared eyes. Yet still, she took a few steps forward in the direction from her enemy. Aoyama-kun screamed, quickly ran to her and tried to hit her. Some tears appeared in her pink dress while his body flashed aside her. A gasp came out of her mouth, when she realized how close she was to death...
