Ok, this is my second fanfic, first in this section, It's a pleasure to meet all of you, I hope you like my little fic. Ok, off to business

I'm really bad at giving names so please bare with me in that mater,

I don't own 'Tokyo Mew Mew', if I did, I would have already hung the guys that made 'Mew Mew Power'

The trip to the zoo had gone pretty well, as always some of the students managed to get lost form the groups to look for something 'more interesting to do than just look at a bunch of stinky animals' as they said; but off course Koji wasn't one of them… always following the rules, never giving trouble to any teachers, and always calm.

Just last week he had been in a Red Data Animals exhibition. Being of a rich family it was a must to appear at such events, and yet, that was not the only reason for which he had gone, for, after all, he himself was interested in the matter. Now he was looking at some of the animals he had just seen in those files.

The day went on really calm. The kids that had escaped started returning to the group; lunchtime was near, and if you were not already present by the time that food started to be served, there would be no food for the missing ones (a brilliant way to insure that at least at certain times the group would be complete).

From his position near to the end of the line, Koji could see every 'lost one' approaching the group. Meanwhile he calmly talked to one of his partners, his only true friend amongst the class, Kein. Something had been troubling him since the exposition, he wasn't sure of what it was, but it kept bothering him. His senses had been far better then usual, his hearing, his smell, an increasing like for meat (the rarer the better), and even a sharp 6th sense, which had kept telling him there was something bad about to happen...

Suddenly Koji heard something; a yell perhaps? but one of pure anger… many other yells, yells of sheer terror followed this one. His partner put his hand on Koji's shoulder "What's the matter?" Koji himself hadn't noticed he had stopped moving, and was now looking towards the way they had been coming from; "We're going to loose lunch if you don't hurry"

Koji really didn't hear what he said, a chill ran through his spine, no one else seemed to notice what he had just listened, and the yells were approaching. Then realization came to him, the angered yells were from a chimp. Koji turned around, grabbed air and yelled at the top of his voice "A chimp's loose! Run!".

Kein looked at him with a weird look on his face.

"JUST RUN!" he repeated himself. The others looked back at him with the same look.

"Oh my! Mister Perfect wants to start a racket for the first time in his life..." The most popular of the class looked back at Koji with a defying and provoking glance.

Koji could hear the chimp approaching, and now some of his partners could hear the racket, though they still couldn't make out what was happening, even some started to run. "Are you afraid that I'm saying the truth? Or are you SOO scared that you just CAN'T START RUNNING?", yelled Koji back, his voice almost braking with both fear and strength; his glare sent shivers down his partner's back, his words both a challenge and a warning.

From the end of the sidewalk a chimp started running their way, upon seeing it everyone ran with all they had... in a few instants Koji had ran almost to the beginning of the group, he was rather startled by the ease with which he had done that; he wasn't bad at sports, but sure enough he never had been that fast before...

Unfortunately the chimp ran far faster than any of them could. Koji heard a yelp from the back of the group; Kein could hear the breathing of the chimp almost on top of him. Koji turned around just to see how his friend was being caught by the wrist. Without even realizing it, he turned around and ran in between all his partners, charging straight towards the chimp.

Two rounded furry ears (popped) crouched at the sides of his head and a tail stuck out behind, rather camouflaged by the sweater he used to tie around his waist, he didn't notice it, nor did the partners whom he passed; all of them too worried in running or too scared to even be able to see it.

The chimp had his hand firmly wrapped against Kein's wrist, his mouth completely opened and about to bite as Koji burst against him, grabbing his hand, making him let go; Koji's other hand grasped the chimp's shoulder pushing him backwards. Both of them rolled through the sidewalk and down the cliff that was next to it. While rolling the chimp was able to get hold of Koji biting hard against his shoulder.

Koji muffled a pained grunt; he hit the chimp on the side of his head to make him let go. Finally at the end of the cliff both rolled separate ways... The chimp incorporated fast, Koji barely had enough time to stand, he managed to put his left arm on the way of the charging chimp's mouth, which closed on it. Despite the pain, Koji managed to hit the chimp hard enough to make him let go the arm, but further angered by the resistance, he grabbed Koji and threw him towards the lake.

Koji almost drown as he fell backwards in the pond, the water had a horrid taste on it; the bites stung as the water touched the exposed flesh. Finally emerging, he stepped on the grass border that limited the pond, and looked towards the chimp, who was boasting his victory, as he decided where to run this time.

'Such a stubborn weakling' The chimp turn around having noticed his opponent getting up out of the water. His jaw just dropped as the one who he saw was definitely not who he was expecting.

"I won't let you hurt my friends" Koji's voice was harsh and raspy, a mixture of anger and pain; and yet he knew to himself that he was just bluffing. His right shoulder and left arm hurt badly. The chimp got over the shock and charged against him

"I'm finally free, I won't go inside that cage again, and 'you' are not stopping me!". Taken aback by the words, Koji missed moving and the chimp centered a powerful punch to his side. This time a growl escaped his mouth as he curled protectively towards the pained side.

The chimp charged again but this time Koji hit him first. With the chimp in the ground he grabbed him and shacked him from side to side. Now the chimp yelled in terror, hurt and unable to fight back in his position; he saw blood and grabbed as hard as he could on the hurt shoulder. Koji bit harder and shacked the chimp once more, as the chimp lost strength in his grip, he threw him with all his strength towards the nearby wall of a little vending place that stood only feet away from the lake.

The chimp hit hard against the wall. Koji looked in awe as he lost balance and fell backwards yet again into the pond. Not only the chimp was not moving any more, but the reflection he got to see in the building's window was not his own. A brownish gray colored fur covered him nearly from toes to the tip of his nose, except for a white coat which started right under his nose and covered down to his belly, and a bit darker color around his upper jaw and on the tips of the ears and tail.

Yet again the nasty water filled his mouth and he fought to reach for fresh air. He finally reached the grassy area near the border; he looked at the immobile chimp leaning against the wall, next to his own reflection, that of a human except for the pair of fluffy ears that crowned his head. He really didn't notice it though; his mind had already stopped processing long before he had come out of the water for the second time. His head finally fell into the damped vegetation, eyes slowly closing, following the blankness of his mind; neither did he notice the sound of the many running footsteps that approached the scene.
