Shin: Welcome to, "The Legacy"
Disclaimer: We do NOT own Tokyo Mew Mew, Just Reina (and her family), Shin, Akira, and her mother. And the Original Mew's Kids.
Chapter 1: Cheese Cake and Hot Chocolate
It was the middle of November. The 20th to be exact. Ryou, now at the age of 41. Stared at his giant computer screen once again. The picture that showed on the screen was what Ryou had feared for the past few years.
It has been 25 years since the Mew's had defeated Kisshu, Pai, and Tart, for the final time. The battle between them, when they saved Ringo's island. And 24 years since the Saint Rose Crusaders.
There on his screen, was a picture of a creature. One that the public wouldn't even say was anything more then. But this creature looked nothing like the Kisshu, Pai and Tart, and certainly nothing like the Saint Rose Crusaders. It was totally different looking. In fact it looked almost human. But the destruction that these new creatures had already done to the city, had proved they were much stronger then the previous enemies.
Ryou printed out a copy of the picture, and walked up the stairs to the cafe. Sitting there, was Keiichiro. Ryou slammed down the picture in front of Keiichiro and sat down beside his best-friend. Keiichiro stared at the picture then at Ryou.
"This means.." Keiichiro said in a low tone, not wanting to wake Ryou's son, Shin. But it was too late.
Shin was walking down the stairs rubbing his deep brown eyes. The 16 year olds golden hair was short like his father's hair was when he was his age. But it held a light brown tint underneath it. Shin's skin was paler then Ryou's originally was. Shin wore a pair of blue jeans with holes in the knees, Nike sneakers, and a gray t-shirt with the sleeves ripped off.
Shin looked nothing like his mother, Kayo. No one talked about Kayo anymore. Because she ran away with another man when Shin was three years old. Shin still had a picture of his mother hanging in his room, She had waist long brown hair, and golden eyes.
Shin stepped off the bottom stair and walked up behind Keiichiro, and looked over his shoulder. Shin almost gasped at the picture Keiichiro was holding. Ryou sighed and rubbed his eyes.
"This means. That we have to start the Mew Project again Keiichiro" Ryou said, then turned to face Keiichiro. Ryou then noticed Shin standing there. Ryou stood up and faced his son. "Shin. You will have to help me with the Mew Project, I trust you only with a certain part of the mission" Ryou said as Keiichiro turned around to face the boy that has become like a nephew to him.
"Yes Dad!" Shin said with a bright smile..
-2 Weeks Later-
Shin ran into the lab after his alarm clock woke him from his sleep at 9:30 am. Shin was now wearing a pair of faded black jeans, a skin tight red t-shirt and his Nike sneakers. Shin reached the lab out of breath. Today his father wasn't in there, for a change. But on the computer desk was an envelope with his name on it. Shin opened the envelope and looked at the letter inside..
Shin,
Take the stuff on the desk, the small jar labelled 'Siberian Tiger' the black thing that looks like a cell phone, it's what the mews will be using to transform, and he Picture in this letter. Find The Girl in the picture. And get her to ingest the liquid in the jar. This is the first step in the Mew Project.
Love your Father,
Ryou
Shin looked at the picture and saw a girl with mid-back ebony hair, and dark hazel eyes. She looked about 15. She was dressed all in black. Her shirt had a rainbow across it and the words 'Every Rainbow.. Has a Black background' in silver lettering. She wore red skinny jeans, and black high top converse. She also wore a choker with a golden bell on it. She seamed to be sitting on a bench in a park, Not looking at the camera. Leading Shin to believe that she didn't know this picture was taken. He flipped the picture around and looked at her information.
Name: Anzai, Reina
Age: 14
DNA Compatibility: Siberian Tiger
"Reina.. hm. How the heck am I supposed to find her? Crap! Time to open the café.." Shin said as he walked upstairs, stuffing the girls picture in his pocket as he climbed the basement stairs to the café part of his home.
Café Mew Mew was just as popular as it used to be. Except on the weekends. But the café still had some customers those days. Shin walked out side and set the sign post the said "we're open" at the end of the walk way.
At 10:00 am, A girl walked in the café alone. She sat at a table out of sight of the windows. Shin saw her come in and went over to take her order. He sat a menu in front of her. She picked up the menu and scanned it.
"What can I get you Miss?" Shin asked now sporting an apron. The girl looked up at Shin, then looked back down at the menu. Shin got the feeling he'd seen this girl somewhere before. But he couldn't pinpoint where. He looked the girl up and down, she didn't even notice. She wore a pair of red converse low tops, a pair of black skinny jeans, with a crimson red skirt layed over top, and a black hoodie.
"I'll have.. a slice of Banana-Strawberry cheese cake, and a hot chocolate thank you" The girl said. Shin jotted down the order, and walked to the kitchen. He pinned the order up in front of Keiichiro, and then it finally clicked in his head, where he'd seen the girl before. Shin pulled the picture out of his jeans pocket, and looked back out at the girl, who seemed to be doodling on a napkin. There was no mistaking it. This girl was Reina Anzai! Shin turned back to Keiichiro with a smile plastered on his pale face.
"Hey uncle Keii…" Shin muttered.
"What is it Shin?" Keiichiro asked after he cut a piece of a freshly baked banana-strawberry cheese cake for the first order of the day. Shin took the plate and looked back at Keiichiro.
"I think found the first mew.." Shin stated, as he heard Keiichiro start to heat up the stove for the hot chocolate.
"Really? Already? You work fast Shin" Keiichiro complemented as he worked on the hot chocolate while also juggling ingredients for a chocolate cake that was being sent to Ryou's friend Ichigo. It was her son Ren's 16th birthday today.
Shin went out to take the girl out her cheese cake, after he placed it down in front of her, he stayed there for a minute. He finally spoke in a professional, and kind voice.
"Miss, may I ask you your name?" Shin asked looking at her, while hiding the DNA vile in his apron pocket.
"Why?" The girl questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"Because, you're the first customer of the day, and also our millionth customer" Shin lied.
"Oh. Well then .." The girl stood up and held her hand out. "I am Reina Anzai" Reina said with a smile.
"Hello Anzai-san. I am Shin Shirogane, my father owns the café." Shin said taking hold of Reina's hand and giving it a friendly shake.
"That must be pretty cool Shirogane-san, your family owning a pink café" Reina said with a slight smirk on her face. Shin knew that probably meant she didn't like the color of the café. Either way, Shin laughed lightly, and Reina did also.
"If you could kindly sit back down, I'll be right out with your hot chocolate" Shin said in a sweet voice.
Reina nodded and took her seat again, and ate a bit of her cheese cake. Shin walked back to Keiichiro smiling. Shin didn't notice the light pink blush on his face. But Keiichiro noticed. But he didn't say anything, instead her passed Shin, Reina's hot chocolate. Shin smiled at Keiichiro and started to walk back to Reina. Before Shin left the kitchen an idea clicked into his mind. Reina needed to ingest the contents of the jar..
Shin took the jar out of his apron and looked at the instructions on the jar.
Use only half of the liquid. And don't let her leave,
because she will pass out after she ingests this liquid
Sin poured half of the liquid in Reina's hot chocolate, recapped the jar, then put it back in his apron. Shin then walked out to the table Reina was sitting at.
"Here you Are Anzai-san." Shin said. Starting to walk back to the kitchen to talk to Keiichiro. But Reina's soft voice caused him to turn back to her.
"Please, Shirogane-san, Call me Reina." Reina said shooting him a smile.
"Alright, but if I will be calling you Reina. You should call me Shin." Shin said shooting her back a smile and started to walked back to the kitchen again. But Reina's voice stopped him again.
"Will you sit with me for a little while Shin?" Reina asked sweetly. There was no way he could refuse. So he sat down on the other side of the table.
"So what exactly did I win Shin?" Reina asked. "To tell you the truth Shin, this is the first time I've won anything in my life." Reina sad taking a mouthful of her Hot chocolate. She started to feel woozy but she didn't think anything about it.
"The first customer of the day gets their food for free, plus with the added bonus of you being the Millionth customer, you get to have one thing from the restaurant" Shin said, knowing full well Ryou would most likely kill him for it.
"Wow! I am ever lucky" Reina said sarcastically. Reina then smirked. This gave Shin a bad feeling. "What I want.. Is for you to take me, on a date to Fushinao's sushi stand. Tonight" Reina said. Shin's face turned bright red.
"I-If that is what you want.." Shin muttered, hoping the liquid would work soon.
Just as the though crossed Shin's mind about how Reina should pass out soon, Reina started to fall to the floor, if it wasn't for Shin's quick reactions. She would have smashed her head off the tile floor. There Shin sat on the floor, with Reina propped up against his chest. How was he going to explain this to her when she woke up?
- 2 Hours Later -
(Reina's P.O.V)
I woke up to find myself in a nice cozy bed, a change from the hard mattress I'm used to sleeping on. I opened my eyes and sat up. There next to me in a chair, hunched over onto the edge of the bed, was the boy, Shin, I was talking to earlier, he was sound asleep. I smiled. This boy was really cute, awake, or asleep. But why dose my head hurt? Ah who cares? I can't wait to go to Fushinao's sushi stand with Shin tonight!
(Normal P.O.V)
Shin woke up a few minutes after Reina, to see her smiling at him. He blushed realising… 'Shit.. we still have a date..'
