Deep Blue was beating me up horribly. I didn't want to attack because I was scared I would hurt my father, but I knew I had to otherwise he would kill me, and take over earth. I managed to block and dodge a couple attacks, but most of them got me. My body was hurting, and I was weak, both physically and mentally.

After one particularly hard attack I went flying, landing in a heap on the ground and refused to get up. I just lay there, waiting for him to take his final blow. I heard the crunching of boots on the dirt path, coming slowly and steadily towards me. I shut my eyes tightly and balled my fists up tightly, taking slow, even breaths. The footsteps stopped and I knew he was standing right over me. I could feel his eyes on me, looking me over.

"Maybe you're not like me." I heard him whisper into my ear. "You're weak."

"If I'm weak then why is it I could kick all those alien's butts a thousand times over?" I said in a would-be brave voice.

"Those aliens were weaklings by themselves. All your triumphs were from pure dumb luck."

I was going to answer, but then I felt a strong pull. My eyes opened and I and looked around, trying to see where it was. My eyes spotted something that was kinda glowing, coming from the river.

A mew aqua… I thought as I felt the pull tugging harder at me. I slowly looked up at Deep Blue. He was so purely evil, but he had my father inside him. What would happen if I used the mew aqua on him? Would my father be hurt too? Would he die? I was so confused. I didn't know what to do, or how to do it. I didn't want to hurt my father, but I knew I had to get rid of Deep Blue. Forever. I couldn't let him come back again. Never again would he torture my mind. Never again would he take over my father's body. Never again would he cause havoc to the world I knew.

With the last of my strength I jumped to my feet and ran towards the mew aqua. I could feel that Deep Blue was getting ready to attack me again, but I continued to run with all my power. His attack hit the ground under my feet and I went flying forward. I hit the ground right in front of the mew aqua, and I quickly grabbed it and felt a pleasant, tingly feeling engulf me. The Aqua staff came into my hands and I pointed it at Deep Blue. My eyes narrowed and he looked at it with shock.

"AQUA DROPS!!!" I screamed.

The bubbly attack flew at him at full speed and hit him square on the best. The bubbles surrounded him and I could hear his screams of pain. I looked away and shut my eyes. The screams subsided into nothing.

"Yuki?" I heard somebody mumble. I quickly looked around and found my father on his knees, looking at me in confusion.

"Daddy!" I breathed.

I ran to my father and flung my arms around him. I felt him hug me back and I snuggled my head into his shoulder.

"Yuki, what happened?" he asked.

"He had you, Daddy. He was trying to kill me. I was so scared. I thought you were gone for good." I cried into his shoulder.

He kissed my head and held me closer. "It's okay baby, everything's going to be okay."

"Yeah, I know."

Two Weeks Later

Newnan's funeral was more saddening then I had thought possible. The tears ran down my face, smearing my makeup. She was pale and motionless. Nothing like she usually was. There was no knowing smile, no joyous laugh, or even a protective frown. Nothing. She was emotionless.

When the whole thing was over I couldn't help but stay behind, just looking at the newly made grave. One of my tears fell down my chin and landed on the fresh dirt. I was surprised when a strong pare of arms wrapped around my waist from behind and pulled me into a hug. I turned around and cried into the person's shoulder, and for a moment I didn't care who it was, just that they were there, comforting me. After a few minutes I looked up into two green eyes that were full of sorrow and sympathy. I looked down at my feet and took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry about how I acted. I shouldn't have shunned you the way I did. I was just so—"

Mikio put a finger over my lips, silencing me.

"It's okay, Yuki. I understand. Everything's been really hard on you lately, and I should have understood better then I did."

"You don't have to be sorry. I probably would have been mad too if somebody was shunning me for no good reason."

"It doesn't matter. I love you, Yuki."

I sucked in a breath, "You love me?" I asked in astonishment. I was surprised that he could still love me after our little fight.

Mikio smiled, "Yeah, I love you."

"I love you too." I whispered before Mikio kissed my lips softly.

Even though I missed Newnan more then words could describe, I was happy. Mikio wasn't angry with me anymore, Dad didn't have an insane alien inside him anymore, and I had turned Akinori into the police and he was now in jail.

And I was in love, and no matter what anybody might tell you, love concurs all.
