Zombies by the Zillion

Summary: What happens when the Mews Mew become stranded in the middle of a Zombie-infested city? Do they make it out a live? Who's to blame for them getting trapped in such a place? How do they get out? Why is there even a Zombie-infested city on an Island off the coast of Tokyo anyways? This was supposed to be a vacation, not attempted murder. 3=D

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Tokyo Mew Mew---though any new characters that may appear are my own original thoughts, as well as the ideas for this fanfiction. :)

Okay everyone, here is the first chapter for Zombies by the Zillion. I've been having a "Zombie Obsession" lately, so I thought it could make for a fantastic Tokyo Mew Mew Fanfic! I'm sure we can all picture Ichigo running crazily from a mob of flesh-eating zombies! xD haha.

This is dedicated to an amazing friend of mine. Unfortunately she does not have a account, but if she'd did she'd be incredibly happy that she was mentioned here. =D She inspired me to write this story && I love her to death!

~Enjoy.

Chapter One: The Island.

"Look! Look!" Pudding squeals, flailing her arms widely.. "Its a whale! Oh look! There's another whale! Ahhhh, look!!! There's another one, Na No Da!!" She skips around the boat deck happily, screeching and pointing out anything that dares to skim slightly above the water.

"Pudding," Lettuce says, peeking over her reading material. "You should settle down; I'm sure Ryou wouldn't be too happy if you broke something..."

"I'm not going to break anything Lettuce-chan!" Pudding claims, skipping over to Ichigos' side along the railing.

Ichigos' cat instincts had taken over the minute she set foot on Ryous' speed boat; her tail and cat ears popping out. This wasn't what she had in mind when she asked for a vacation. A beach she could handle, but being out in the center of open water wasn't something she'd ever been fond of, even for short travels. Her tail twitches as she leans over the railing examining the water below; unaware of Pudding bouncing happily beside her.

"Onee-chan!!" Pudding squeals loudly, attempting to cling to Ichigos' side.

Ichigo, ungracefully, looses her balance falling over the railing; head first.

Pudding gasps "Oh my gosh!! Ichigo!!" She flails her arms, while running in circles. "I accidently threw Ichigo over-board!! Na no da noooo!!"

Ryou hurries over at the sound of Puddings' cry, the rest of The Mew Mews following.

"NNNYYYYAAAAAAA!!" Ichigo screeches.

Ryou leans over the railing throwing an orange, string-attached, float to her. She eagerly clings to it. He pulls Ichigo from the salty water; the girls assisting him.

Flinging the float onto the deck of the shiny boat, they realize Ichigo is no longer Ichigo. She's in her cat form; shivering, her fur dripping wet with water.

"Ichigo!! I'm sooooo sorry!" Pudding wails, dropping to her knees beside the annoyed feline.

She blinks her big, black eyes few times; her tail waving slightly, showing annoyance.

Ryou throws a towel over the felines head, laughing as he walks away. "It's a good thing cats know how to swim. It's Too bad they get all pissy when they get wet."

Knocking the towel away, Ichigo sprints after him hissing; attaching her claws and teeth into his leg.

He grunts in discomfort, prying the pissed off cat from his skin. He lifts her to meet his gaze. "You know, you shouldn't be attacking someone who just saved your ass"

She hisses again.

He chuckles. "Funny really; I thought you only turned into a cat when I did this..." He kisses her nose; her skin burning under her fur.

POOF--Human form.

A smirk spreads across his face.

Ichigo glares at him, "I.Hate.You." enunciating the word "hate".

"Love you too Strawberry." He laughs nonchalantly, walking away to take steer of his boat.

Lettuce runs over to Ichigos' side, wrapping a towel around her friends' shoulders.

"Don't pay any attention to him Ichigo," Lettuce comforting voice sounds.

"Yeah, He's just upset because Keiichiro made him give us a few days off and bring us out here on his boat." Mint adds in. "Ryou can be so stuck-up sometimes."

"Don't forget about the Beach Na No Da!!" Pudding chirps. "Ichigo, I'm sorry...I didn't mean to knock you over."

"Its okay Pudding." Ichigo assures, embracing her younger friend. "You didn't mean to."

"Okay girls," Keiichiro announces, joining their group. His face twists in concern seeing Ichigo dripping wet. "Is everything okay?"

"Everything's great." Ichigo replies, sarcasm thick in her voice.

"Ryou." It isn't a question, more-so a statement.

The girls nod unanimously.

"He's just annoyed. He'll get over it." Keiichiro muses. "Anyways, we're almost to the Island. You all have a reservation at the Deico hotel; everyone will have their own room. Ryou and I will be joining you tomorrow, in the mean time the city is abundant with shopping centers, nice restaurants, and numerous places to occupy your time." He pulls out a bundle of blue and white credit cards, handing one to each of the girls. "This vacation is on us. We want you to enjoy yourselves; you all have earned it." He smiles warmly.

Pudding bounces up and down, "O-M-G! O-M-G! O-M-G! I've never had one of these before." She dances around the boat, performing cart-wheels and round-offs continously-The girl is easily excited.

"Oh, one more thing." He pulls out a thick envelop, handing it to Lettuce. "Give this to the worker at the check-in counter at the hotel."

Lettuce nods, half of what he instructed not registering.

The girls giggle excitedly; eager to get off the boat and begin their long-earned vacation.

Ryou steers into the dock, second-guessing himself. "Should I really go through with this?" He ponders aloud. "We're putting them in harm...but we have to do something...we have to know; are they ready?" He sighs heavily. "It's too late to turn back now."

They will be on their tails in just minutes.

Pudding skips her way off the boat happily, the rest of the Mews following eagerly, carrying light shoulder bags. The guys promised to bring the rest of their luggage tomorrow; joining them at the hotel.

Keiichiro waves after the girls, as the boat pulls away from the Island. After the girls are out of sight, he joins Ryou in the tiny cabin at the rear of the boat.

"How well do you expect they'll do?" Ryou asks.

"Phenomenal." Keiichiro states. "Because if they don't..."

"They'll die." Ryou finishes.

A sense of guilt washes over him. How could he do this to the girls?...But what choice does he have?

He screwed up; but now The Mew Mews were paying the price for his mistake.
