Musashi, Kojiro, and Nyarth approached Rocket Gang HQ.
NYARTH : Who¹ s going to tell the boss that we don¹ t have rare pocket monsters ?
MUSASHI & NYARTH : Not it !
MUSASHI : You have to tell him, Kojiro.
KOJIRO : What ? You tell him, Musashi ! Your mother worked for his mother !
MUSASHI : So ?
She looked at Nyarth.
MUSASHI : You tell him. You¹ re his favorite pocket monster.
NYARTH : I was his favorite pocket monster. Now he loves that mangy Persian.
He, Musashi, and Kojiro entered the building as they walked up to the office door.
MUSASHI : We¹ ll wait for you outside.
NYARTH : Oh no you don¹ t ! We failed the boss together. We should all face him.
KOJIRO : I guess you¹ re right.
He, Musashi, and Nyarth slowly opened the door.
KOJIRO : Sir ?
They looked around and were surprised when they didn¹ t see anyone. They saw a book on the desk. They walked up to it. They gasped.
MUSASHI : A diary !
KOJIRO : Why is it unlocked ?
NYARTH : Do you know what this means ?
Musashi and Kojiro slowly shook their heads back and forth.
NYARTH : With this diary, we control the boss. We can reveal secrets at any time.
MUSASHI : Let¹ s read it together.
She, Kojiro, and Nyarth started to read the first page which was dated
MEMORY 1.
Sakaki had written.... A six year old boy held a purple haired woman¹ s hand and smiled. She wore a black dress with a red R on it as well as white boots and gloves.She was Miyamoto. Sakaki would not release Miyamoto¹ s hand. He kissed it and hugged her. Miyamoto returned his love.
MIYAMOTO : You are my son for eternity.
Sakaki smiled and nodded as his eyes became crescents.
MIYAMOTO : After you play in the snow for awhile, we can have hot chocolate. We¹ ll sit by a fire at home.
Sakaki held her hand before playing where there was abundant snow. Miyamoto participated as she laughed with him. He was curious when he saw an avalanche. He looked up.
MIYAMOTO : SAKAKI !
She shoved him as the snow buried her. Sakaki¹ s eyes opened. He looked around his dark room and proceeded to cry. A woman approached him. Her hair was long and black. Her eyes were hidden. Her slip was dark. She was Sakaki¹ s mother and the leader of the Rocket Gang. Her bundled whip terrified him.
MOTHER : SHUT UP, YOU LITTLE BRAT !
She whipped him several times.
MOTHER : If you had a nightmare, it was your own fault.
SAKAKI : Miyamoto Mama.
His mother¹ s eyes widened.
MOTHER : WHAT did you say ?
Her son could not reply. There were several cuts on his body.
SAKAKI : Avalanche.
MOTHER : Why do you love her more than me ?
Sakaki did not reply.
MOTHER : ANSWER ME !
She slapped him. Her son would not stop crying so she gave up and walked away. He thought about Miyamoto¹ s frequent visits. He and Musashi got along quite well. Sakaki loved Miyamoto since she never abused or insulted him.He enjoyed her constant smile and happy eyes. The teen age Musashi was fascinated.
MUSASHI : Now I remember. The boss and I used to be best friends.
Kojiro and Nyarth were shocked.
NYARTH : You¹ re kidding.
Musashi slowly shook her head back and forth.
MUSASHI : I¹ m convinced that his mother was responsible for the way he is now. He never used to be power hungry and bad tempered.
KOJIRO : What do his other memories consist of ?
MUSASHI : I guess we¹ ll find out.
She turned a few pages until she saw a page titled MEMORY 2. Sakaki had written....
MEMORY 2.
Miyamoto Mama is the best mother in the entire world ! ^-^She never hits or yells at me. I like her hair ! :P. I admire her courage. She tried to protect me to the best of her ability. Her daughter is my best and only friend.
Musashi smiled. She had tears in her eyes.
MUSASHI : Aaaawwww ! How sweet !
KOJIRO : How can someone so sweet turn so sour ?
MUSASHI : Maybe this diary will answer your question.
She read MEMORY 3.
MEMORY 3.
I have not seen Miyamoto Mama for a long time. Maybe she no longer loves me. :( ! My mother just opened the bedroom door !
The woman approached her son. She sat on his bed.
MOTHER : I suppose you are wondering where Miyamoto chan is. You obviously do love her more than your own mother. Anyway, I sent her on a mission to capture Mew the rarest monster. She went to the mountains to search for it. Avalanches do happen.
SAKAKI : My dream came true ?
He recalled his nightmare. He did not know that Miyamoto was still alive and looking for Mew. The woman talked to herself.
MIYAMOTO : Musashi. Sakaki. I shall return with a Mew. I¹ m sorry, Sakaki. My camera only had enough film for me to take one photo. I chose to take one of my daughter.
She removed a photo of a crying Musashi from her dress.
MIYAMOTO : I could have taken one of both of you, but Musashi is my only child.
She gasped when she looked up and saw a white creature hover near her.
MIYAMOTO : Are you.... ?
CREATURE : Mew !
It disappeared in the blizzard that formed.
MIYAMOTO : Where did you go ?
She ran after the photo when it escaped her hand.
MIYAMOTO : MUSASHI !
She saw the avalanche approach her. She screamed. Sakaki could feel her disappear. He gasped.
SAKAKI : Miyamoto Mama is....
His mother raised a hand to hit him.
MOTHER : I thought I told you never to call her that !
SAKAKI : She is....
Tears filled his eyes. His mother lowered her hand.
MOTHER : Yes ?
SAKAKI : Dead.
He started to cry into his pillow. Her eyes dazzled as she smiled.
MOTHER : It¹ s your fault that Miyamoto is dead.
Her child looked up.
MOTHER : Your dream was a death wish for her. You caused her to die.
SAKAKI : Really ?
His mother nodded. Sakaki wept even more.
MOTHER : Crying will not bring her back.
Sakaki ignored her.
MOTHER : Poor Musashi does not have a mother now. You have one though.
Her son thought about his friend weeping.
SAKAKI : I want to see Musashi.
MOTHER : You can¹ t. What would she think if she saw you with me ? She would hate you.
SAKAKI : No ! Musashi and I are friends forever !
MOTHER : That¹ s what you think, you stupid brat.
Sakaki gasped.
MOTHER : You and Musashi will never feel love again.
She never told Sakaki that she had sent Miyamoto to her death on purpose ! She figured that the only way to make him hate everyone and everything was for her todie. Sakaki¹ s tears brought her immense pleasure. She quietly laughed. The present Musashi shut the diary and wept.
MUSASHI : He really did love my mother.
KOJIRO : Let me read his diary.
He was about to touch the book until Musashi yelled at him.
MUSASHI : I¹ M NOT DONE READING IT YET SO HANDS OFF !
Kojiro and Nyarth rapidly backed away.
MUSASHI : How could you, Nyarth ? How could you use this diary to control him ?
NYARTH : You were never his favorite pocket monster until now !
KOJIRO : He likes Yamato and Kosaburu better than Musashi and me.
NYARTH : That¹ s true.
Kojiro snatched the diary. He turned the pages.
KOJIRO : Are there any humiliating stories in here ? Baby photos ?
Musashi grabbed the book.
MUSASHI : I may have shut his diary, but I still want to read it.
She and Kojiro tugged it back and forth.
KOJIRO : When the boss returns, I¹ ll tell him that you read his diary first !
MUSASHI : We read it together !
KOJIRO : Oh yeah.
He and Musashi pulled until the book ripped in half !
MUSASHI : Now look what you did !
Nyarth went in Sakaki¹ s desk and took some tape out of it. He taped the diary back together.
NYARTH : Now that I taped the diary back together, I should read it alone for awhile.
Musashi hit him with a mallet.
MUSASHI : Over my dead body !
KOJIRO : That can be arranged.
He was another mallet victim.
Musashi read MEMORY 4 next.... Sakaki was now a teen ager. He still feared and respected his mother. He was a Dan Œ in the lowest ranking Rocket. His uniform was black and white with ared R. He still felt guilty about Œ¹ killing Œ¹ Miyamoto. His mother had convinced him that he was responsible for her death. One day, she summoned him. She stopped spinning in her chair in order to talk.
MOTHER : Miyamoto chan COULD be alive.
SAKAKI : You told me that she was dead.
MOTHER : True, but perhaps I was wrong. Since you love her so much, you could search for her. I hope you remember where I sent her.
Sakaki nodded.
SAKAKI : I¹ ll look for her and when I find her, it will be a rocket reunion !
MOTHER : Rocket reunion ?
She was confused.
SAKAKI : I¹ d better start searching for her now.
MOTHER : Wait ! You can¹ t go out in public looking like that. You need a disguise.
She threw a set of garments at him and watched him leave. A few minutes later, she heard him moan....
SAKAKI : Moooommyyyy ! I look like a prostitute !
MOTHER : T hat¹ s the idea !
She watched him approach her. Her son wore a black outfit consisting of a long wig, a feather boa, long gloves,a corset, a black collar with a diamond attached to it, a microskirt, stockings, and highheels.
MOTHER : You look perfect. Now go find your precious Miyamoto.
SAKAKI : Yes, Mother.
He exited HQ and wandered the streets while his mother smiled in the dark.
MOTHER : Stupid Sakaki ! You shall die a slow death in the mountains. You¹ ll either freeze or an avalanche will steal your life. Your love will be your death.
Sakaki looked around as various men fell in love with him in his female form. He gasped when he turned around as Officer Junsa grabbed his shoulder !
OFFICER JUNSA : Prostitution is illegal !
SAKAKI : I am on a mission to find Miyamoto Mama.
OFFICER JUNSA : Don¹ t give me that ! You are going to prison, Missy !
SAKAKI : Bye ! Bye !
He decided to run back home in order to change into another outfit for jail prevention. His mother scowled when he returned to her office.
MOTHER : Why aren¹ t you dea.... I mean why aren¹ t you looking for Miyamoto ?
SAKAKI : A police officer almost arrested me because of my outfit, Mother.
MOTHER : You did not look at any men who fell in love with you, did you ?
SAKAKI : Yes, but they stared at me first !
MOTHER : It¹ s time you move on and focus on stealing pocket monsters. Profit ! Profit ! Profit !
Sakaki sighed.
SAKAKI : Yes, Mother.
Musashi laughed as she read the entry. However, she did not laugh when she read the final page.
KOJIRO : Why did you stop laughing, Musashi ?
He and Nyarth read over her shoulder. Musashi read the entry aloud.
MUSASHI : Just to let you all know, I have exited this life. I am leaving you with Persian and in charge of the Rocket Gang. I hope to join Miya chan in a new life. Perhaps now I won¹ t suffer anymore. Farewell.
PS - I am not making any of the entries up !
Musashi, Kojiro, and Nyarth turned their heads when they saw someone.
She had blue eyes and long purple hair that was curved in two hooks.
She wore red and white gloves with boots and a black dress with a red R on it.
Musashi gasped as her eyes filled with tears.
MUSASHI : Mother ?
Miyamoto smiled.
MIYAMOTO : Musashi.
Her daughter smiled as she ran to her and embraced her. Her red hair was touched as she wept.
MUSASHI : Where have you.... ?
MIYAMOTO : I saw the legendary Mew when Sakaki¹ s mother sent me to find it.
I tried to catch it until an avalanche occured. I managed to escape.
The weather was usually too cruel to allow me to return home, but I managed to.
She was interested when she saw Kojiro and Nyarth.
MIYAMOTO : Who are the young man and cat ?
MUSASHI : They are Kojiro and Nyarth who happen to be Rockets like us.
MIYAMOTO : I see. Are Sakaki and his mother here ? Last time I saw him, he was a little boy.
Tears formed in Musashi¹ s eyes.
MUSASHI : He....
MIYAMOTO : What ?
MUSASHI : He killed himself !
Miyamoto gasped.
MIYAMOTO : Why ?
MUSASHI : He thought that you were still dead and he didn¹ t want to be alone. He loved you.
MIYAMOTO : He sure did.
She sighed.
MIYAMOTO : If he did not commit suicide, he would have seen me.
KOJIRO : What are we going to do now that he left us in charge of the gang ?
MUSASHI : I have an idea. Let¹ s run the Rocket Gang together, Mother.
Miyamoto nodded.
MUSASHI : A Rocket reunion.
THE END.
