The sky was pitch black, small holes in the floor of heaven glowed in the darkness. The air was cool and dry, the iron railing she leaned against was hard and cold. The wolf mew took a deep breath, what a calm night. Her long hair hung over her shoulders as she looked up off her balcony deep in thought. She wasn't sure why she had been chosen to be a mew. She wasn't a team player. She didn't like other girls. She never had been one of the girls. Zakuro hated most girls actually. All of them giddy and happy, giggling and talking about stupid boys and singers they were obsessing over. The wolf girl had no feelings like that toward anyone, she would admit she found certain men attractive, but she knew nothing of love. The gray wolf. What a perfect animal to represent her.
A sigh escaped her lips, her throat tightened as if she was about to cry. The night was such a lonely time. She loved and hated the loneliness. She hated being bothered, but hated the feeling of perhaps fading away and dying alone. She took a deep breath, she had to work in the morning, this wasn't the time to keep awake with such thoughts. Zakuro turned around and gazed into her room, the soft glow of artificial light glowed through the windows. The light wasn't comforting.
Her sensitive ears picked up a noise, she glanced beside her. A squirrel maybe? A cat? Before she could turn all the way around she heard something slam onto the steel railing behind her. Her heart jumped into her throat as she was grabbed from behind by the neck and thrown to the ground. Before she could turn to look at her captor she was struck across the side of the head and knocked unconscious.
Her head throbbed as she felt herself returning to consciousness. Zakuro weakly groaned as she opened her eyes, she could see her heartbeat in her eyes. The room was dim, there was a small amount of light emanating from a window to her left. Her whole body felt cold when she saw nothing but stars out the window. She sat up quickly, her head throbbing from the sudden movement, she winced. Slowly, she peered through her hands while holding her throbbing head. The window displayed nothing but the blackness of space. The window made up the entire wall on her left, it was a glass wall that had the crushing abyss of space behind it.
The wolf girl shook her head and felt around, she was in a white robe with none of her clothes. She felt panicked, she scooted off the bed and looked around. Opposite the wall of windows, there was a door, there was a smaller door on the wall opposite the bed. She walked over and cautiously opened the door, it was a small dark bathroom. She looked around, she didn't see any lights. There was a lamp on the single nightstand on the right side of the bed. She walked over and flipped it on. Her feet were cold on the steel floor. The walls, floor, and ceiling were cold steel.
The larger door that stood on its own across the room had no handles, but a keypad beside it. Zakuro walked over and observed the keypad. There were symbols on it she didn't recognize. A deep breath filled her lungs, walking made her head pound even more.
Footsteps.
The wolf mew backed up toward the bed and searched through the nightstand, it was empty. Beneath the bed was empty as well. The long robe brushed her legs as she whirled around at the sound of the door sliding open. The door revealed a tall dark alien, his features barely able to be seen. Zakuro knew who this was.
"Pai"
She spat his name like venom, she stood on the defensive, like a cobra. Pai calmly walked into the room, the steel door sliding shut behind him. He had a tray of something that was covered. Her eyes were narrowed in his direction. She wouldn't have been so defensive if she had some other mew with her. Zakuro knew she was the mature one, she and Ichigo protected the other girls for the most part.
The alien walked across the room, Zakuro moving away from him, keeping her front facing him at all times. Pai set the tray down on the nightstand and turned to face her, calmly sliding his hands into his pockets. The two beings locked eyes, neither moving.
"That is food. I recommend you eat it. You've been unconscious for a few hours. You're on our ship, and do not ask to be returned to Earth, I am not permitted to respond to that request."
Zakuro glared, "Why the hell did you kidnap me?"
Pai sighed and looked out the enormous window, "It's orders."
She kept her eyes on his face, her stare was sharp and anxious, but he seemed completely content. The violet haired mew fumed,
"Where is my pendant? Did you capture the other girls?"
The tall alien didn't react to her instigating words, "I am doing research on your pendant, and no, we have not acquired the other mews yet."
"Why are you answering all of my questions?"
The violet haired alien gazed over at her, his numb expression not faltering, "It does me no harm to answer such trivial things."
The alien then turned on his heel and walked across the room. Her eyes were locked on him as he opened the sliding doors, he pointed to the keypad and turned his head so she could just see his profile.
"Press the green symbol if you want to contact me, if you have an issue, or there's an emergency."
The steel doors closed quickly behind him as he exited the room. Zakuro stared at the closed doors for a while before moving. She then realized her heart had been racing, her hand slid to her chest. Her heart was pounding, her headache was fading slightly. She shook her head and grit her teeth, ruffling her bangs. The wolf girl growled to herself, she couldn't believe she had been captured. How weak was she that she was captured by one alien. She felt stupid, being off guard like that.
The lonely mew walked over to the glass wall and leaned against it, her arm above her head as she stared down into space. She couldn't see Earth. Where was she? Zakuro shook her head and rubbed her eyes with her free hand, she was so tired, more exhausted than tired. The window was very cold and gave her chills.
A navy haired girl walked into the kitchen, a worried expression on her face. Keiichiro turned and smiled warmly at the girl,
"Yes, Minto-san?"
"Zakuro onee-sama isn't here yet!"
Keiichiro blinked a few times, his smile slightly drooped, "Well, perhaps she's just late."
Mint fumed and shook her head, her buns wiggling slightly, "No! You don't understand! I called her house, her butler, and texted her like four times. She hasn't answered once. Something's wrong!"
Just as Mint began to lose it, Ryou entered the kitchen, he looked as though he had just woken up. He always happened to get up after the cafe was open.
"What is going on here?" He asked, walking over to the cabinet with coffee mugs. Keiichiro shrugged and looked over at him, but before he could speak, Mint blurted everything,
"Onee-sama isn't here yet, she's never late, and hasn't answered my calls or texts! I'm telling you there is something wrong! We need to look for her!"
Ryou stared holding the empty mug, his eyebrows pressed together. Keiichiro sighed and ran his hand through his bangs,
"I'm sure she's fine Minto-san, she's probably just late…"
Mint grit her teeth, "No, you're wrong! She's not like this! She would at least answer me!"
-A few hours later-
Zakuro laid in the bed and stared at the ceiling, she knew she wouldn't be able to sleep. She had tried to pry the doors open, searched for a vent that was big enough for her to fit through. Nothing worked, and there were no tangible objects in the room that she could use to open anything. A sigh escaped her lips, she glanced over at the tray he had brought in. She had been so angry and preoccupied she hadn't eaten, or even looked under the cover for that matter.
She stood up and turned to face the nightstand, her long hair formed a beautiful violet curtain around her face as she lifted the cover and looked in. There was an oddly shaped water bottle and a bowl with a second smaller cover on it. She lifted the smaller cover and saw the bowl was full of white rice. Zakuro sighed again, she still couldn't quite grasp what their plans were. She didn't like the idea of not knowing what the aliens were up to.
There was a sound outside her door, Zakuro's eyes flitted wide and she yanked her head around to see the door. It slid open, and her expectations for whom was behind the door were not met. A tall alien with silver hair entered the room. He had a stern expression on his face, he wore a long layered robe and had a few pieces of metal shoulder and waist armor. He glided across the room, sending Zakuro into a slight panic as he swiftly approached her. Her heart raced as she turned to face him, he reached out at her. Zakuro immediately went into defensive mode.
The wolf girl swat the aliens arm away and gave him a hard shove, he twisted around using the momentum of the push and seized her by the nape of the neck. His right arm held a firm hold on her neck, Zakuro winced and thrashed about. He reached down and held her bent over forward, her face toward the floor. Zakuro fought and struggled against him as the alien led her out of the room. The alien then teleported them both out of sight. Zakuro's head spun as they surged through the teleportation warp.
When they arrived at their destination Zakuro was thrown to the ground. She clenched her fists and glared as she whipped her head up. She froze at what she saw. The alien behind her disappeared with little disturbance to the silence.
The room was ice cold and made chills run up her spine. Her stomach twisted into knots as she stared at the being before her. Long black hair waved behind him as he turned his head.
The room was fairly large, and had an extremely tall ceiling. It was a large ellipse shape, the large curved wall was all tall glass windows that led to space. There was also a large throne in the center, the carpet she knelt on led to the throne.
Deep Blue stood on the right side of the room, he had been staring out the glass windows. His eyes were now on hers, a solemn expression on his face. He seemed almost amused to see her. Zakuro just stared. Keiichiro and Ryou had warned her about him. The aliens briefly mentioned him. She knew who this alien was.
The alien ruler turned his entire body and slowly walked towards her, his long pitch black hair billowing behind him. Each step he took made her heart pound, her body wouldn't move. She didn't have a pendant, she had no way of fighting him. He was the ruler after all, she stood no chance. Zakuro's breath tightened as he got close, he paused a few feet in front of her. Her body shivered. Zakuro knew she was to weak to stand up to him, or to stand period. Her body quivered as he stared at her, her mouth hung slightly.
"So you're one of the Tokyo Mew Mews?"
His voice was chilling, yet not threatening. Zakuro stared at him for a few seconds before realizing it was a question.
"I- I am."
His stare didn't falter, their eyes were locked. Zakuro wasn't sure what it was about those eyes, but they kept her mesmerized. His eyes looked like ice. Slowly he reached out at her, she inhaled sharply as he grabbed her jaw. His hand was gentle as he angled her head directly up toward his face. Zakuro's heart raced in her chest as he stared down at her. The wolf girl couldn't move, her body was completely frozen. Her only movement was her quivering muscles.
"And exactly which mew are you?"
It took a few moments before she could even process the question. Zakuro was in complete disbelief at her situation. Had they brought her here to their ruler for a reason? Just for questioning?
"M-Mew Zak…uro."
Zakuro couldn't bring herself to glare, she was so afraid. Never in her life had she been so afraid, his presence was so intimidating and ominous. Deep Blue was very powerful, she could feel it. Her body continued to quiver, she had never feared a person like she did him. Kish, Pai, and Tart didn't intimidate her at all. But this alien was different. She could feel his power as she shook in front of him. She hated herself for appearing so weak.
"Ahh… A pomegranate? That human fruit crushes nicely between ones teeth does it not?"
The wolf mew just stared, she swallowed hard, his ice cold fingers still holding her face. He tilted his head and eyed her, but not in a lecherous way. The corners of his lips lifted slightly,
"You're quite the human aren't you. A powerful fighting spirit. I admire that. But you will no longer be standing against me."
His words struck a nerve with her, she swallowed her fear and pulled her head to the side away from his hand. She clenched her teeth, this could be the end of her life. But she had to fight.
