I ran over to Zack. His pulse was still strong, but I turned to the other kid.
"WHO THE CRAP ARE YOU?!" I yelled at the blonde guy. "What is this?!" I cracked the whip. "What was that?!"
"The name's Jack, and I'm a rich high school kid, that is your Plum Whip, and that was a kirema anima infested field mouse." Okay, I hate short, obvious answers.
"Oh, that's REALLY helpful!" I told him sarcastically. "What's going on? Why am I dressed like this? And WHY do you have to say that stuff like it's common sense?!"
"Okay, okay, stop the rapid fire questions," he said, dropping down from the tree. "Aliens are infesting earth, trying to take our planet by using animals as their soldiers, you are a Mew Mew, our weapon to fight the alien, and the second answer was kind of obvious." Well, at least that time he used some kind of emotion.
"Well, I suppose you did this to me?" I questioned him, getting in his face. "And then expect me just to go out and fight those things?! Why me? Why not do this to yourself?!"
"One, I asked nicely for you to stop the rapid fire questions, and two, your answers are: yes, not alone, for there are four others like you, but we don't know who they are, Ume, and the answer was it was an accident, since I aimed the dna at myself, but the earth quake shook the beam, causing it to mis fire."
With a start, I realized I wasn't holding the pendent, then realized it hung from a black choker with fur lining around my neck. "What ever cruel joke your playing, it ends now!" I raised my whip, but someone caught my wrist.
"That won't be necessary, Miss Ootori." I turned to see a man with long black hair and hazel eyes. These people had me surrounded, and who knew what they wanted! I wrenched my wrist out of the guys hand, I felt my whip dissappear, and my sudden claustrophobia forced me to run. I grabbed Zack, swung him over my sholders, and ran. Finally, when we were far enough away that I thought they couldn't find us, I set Zack down, and started thinking about how to change back. As I thought about changing back, everything turned back to my original self. Luckily, it was just as Zack started to stir. He blinked, looking up at me.
"Are you okay?" he asked. I smiled and nodded, glad that he was acting normal.
"How do you feel?" I asked.
"Stiff, but fine," he told me, "Let's get back to my place." With a start, I realized the sun was just starting to set. So I nodded. I decided to just ignore the whole expirience.
