A/N: Welcome to the most ultimate and beastie challenge to ever be made in world history! I Chiharu-Chan do solemnly swear to complete one hundred one-shots based off one hundred songs. I, of cores made this all by my lonesome self. You can do the challenge too! Just refer to the original. Now, a question arises; what category does this fit under? I am not only going to be writing one shots about Tokyo Mew Mew, but many other categories as well! Final Fantasy, Bleach, Naruto, etcetera…
And then… that is where you come in! You can suggest a one shot of your choosing! Sounds great so far right? It only gets better my friend! I will do CannonxCannon, OcxCannon and OcxOc. All you have to do is give me the characters, and pick a number that is between one and on hundred. Each number represents a song. So basically, you will choose what song you will be getting at random! That sounds very fun! However, there is a catch! Only thirty-three percent of this challenge is going to consist of requests, so you had better come quickly! Fifty-five percent will be CannonXCannon and the other eleven percent will probably be surprises from me!
Show your support to an author trying to improve her prose! Reviews are appreciated! There will be one hundred chapters! And you know what; if I can get at least five reviews per chapter, I will have five hundred reviews by the end of this I think. I am not that good at math. Actually, I suck at math. This will probably be the longest author's note I will ever have, so bare with me! I think I have said everything that has needed to be said. All right. Let us start. Oh, wait. Most of these are going to be dealing with Tokyo Mew Mew! This is an OCxKisshu!
Once upon a year gone by
She saw herself give in
Every time she closed her eyes
She saw what could have been
Well nothing hurts and nothing bleeds
When covers tucked in tight
Funny when the bottom drops
How she forgets to fight... to fight
And its one more day in paradise
One more day in paradise
As darkness quickly steals the light
That shined within her eyes
She slowly swallows all her fear
And soothes her mind with lies
Well all she wants and all she needs
Are reasons to survive
A day in which the sun will take
Her artificial light... her light
And its one more day in paradise
One more day in paradise
Its one more day in paradise
One last chance to feel alright... alright
Dont pretend to hold it in just let it out
Dont pretend to hold it in just push it out
Dont you try to hold it in just let it out and
Dont you try to hold it in you hold it in
And its one more day in paradise
One more day in paradise
Its one more day in paradise
One last chance to feel alright... alright
Once upon a year gone by
She saw herself give in
Every time she closed her eyes
She saw what could have been
Challenge One: Paradise
When you look into a mirror, do you see your own reflection? Masami let an ounce of air escape her chapped lips as she pondered this thought. As she gazed into the impervious glass, she did not see herself. What she saw, was a monster. She saw a bloodcurdling, revolting, malevolent creature of sin. Her eyes were darkened; her hair was messy and discolored. Her rabbit ears drooped down to the sides of her very pale face. Masami was the ugliest looking Mew of them all. She was once considered a human being. No… Masami was not always like this. She once had a life with awesome friends. Even then, Masami's life was much better then what she had slummed to now. Masami balled up her fists and slammed them into her mirror out of pure wrath.
"She did this to me! This isn't my fault!" Masami roared. Her voiced sounded messed together with someone else's. Masami's mother Rhiannon, who was supposed to have died several years ago, granted Masami with power. Masami became lost in the conquest for power. Masami willing took the offer guilelessly, not knowing what the consequences were to her actions. Now, she is cursed with an obligation to forever dream of a nightmare. Masami is the nightmare itself. Masami is now the One Winged Angel. Masami grabbed her black wing and pulled on it profoundly. She winced in pain, but desperately continued to pull on the wing.
"All I wanted to do was save Renzo! Why have I been cursed with this? Why me?"
Ah, dear Renzo… Masami's close seven-year-old brother who was killed in an incident involving Mew business. He was captured by Masami's so-called 'father' and sent into the depths of hell. Lucid tears began to fill Masami's weary silted sapphire eyes. It was not Masami's choice to become a Mew. It was not Masami's choice when her brother had been killed right in front of her own eyes. At those times, she let the Lord and Savior do what he had to do. When Masami interfered, I guess she paid one of the most ultimate prices.
"I…I have now learned to control this power, and I still haven't saved Renzo. Rhiannon please… help me…" Masami whispered amongst herself. The silence began to ebb away slowly at Masami's consciousness. If this goes on any longer, Masami will defiantly without a doubt go crazy. Suddenly, one of Masami's rabbit ears stuck up. Masami heard faint footsteps. Those footsteps could only belong to Rhiannon. Masami swiftly turned around and frowned intensely. Rhiannon smirked crudely at Masami's reaction to her appearance.
"What… you called me did you not?" Rhiannon smirked. Masami's clenched her teeth as she pointed her index figure at her mother.
"You old witch! You tricked me… you were going to use me all along for your own twisted sadistic game!"
Rhiannon nodded her head at her daughter's out burst and narrowed her eyes.
"You humans are so predictable. Masami dear… what did you expect? I am only loyal to the side with the most power. I…"
"Turn me back now!" Masami shouted, a purplish aura escaping her body. Rhiannon flinched at this act but kept her cool game face.
"I learned to control these powers you witch! I will kill you if I have to!" Masami interjected. Rhiannon grabbed hold of her staff and aimed it at the outraged teenager. So many things zoomed around Masami's mind. Questions like; where are the Mew Mews? Or; is anyone going to help me? Rhiannon's staff began to glow a devilish shade of purple. Masami extended her hand.
"Vanilla Rocket Staff!"
In Masami's right palm, was her Mew weapon? It had changed very much as well. Vines curled all over Masami's weapon. The spikes from the vines pinched Masami's palm as she clutched it. Blood began to trickle down her arm. A look of determination covered Masami's meek face. Rhiannon's eyes widened at this spectacle. Rhiannon's grip loosened on her weapon and she let out a wild laugh.
"You are really going to fight me? How admirable! You would die for a lost cause! Tell you what, I'll drop my weapon and I'll let you get one good lick off of me."
Masami tensed up at this comment. "Then this one free blow will be your death! Ribbon… Vanilla Rocket Flash Sanpoo!"
Masami twirled her staff into the air and threw it at Rhiannon, a trail of white light running behind the staff. Masami was dead sure that this time, Rhiannon would in fact be harmed by this attack. Rhiannon just stood there, unfazed by the Mew's attack. Once the staff reached Rhiannon, it when through her. Masami's jaw dropped.
"What? How did you…"
Masami's comment was stopped by a jab to the ribs. Masami gasped, but before she could retaliate, another jab could be felt in her back. Masami fell onto the ground, coughing up few traces of blood. Rhiannon smiled.
"You aren't using your full potential sweetheart. Don't you want to be returned to normal? Oh, and do not even try to harm me, for I am a goddess!"
Masami wiped the blood from her mouth. Rhiannon a goddess? She tried to stand up, but Rhiannon stepped on the small of her back. Masami closed her eyes to stop the tears threatening to escape her eyes.
"You are scared aren't you?" Rhiannon mussed. "You are a failed project. Do not worry sweetheart, I have found a new specimen. The one you call Ichigo."
"Don't you dare hurt my friends!" Masami threatened.
"Why? Haven't you hurt them? Why can't I?"
The tears that Masami was so desperately trying to stop from falling ran down her cheeks like mad. Masami's vision started to blur.
"A-At least… tell me… what would it have been like if Renzo was still alive!"
Rhiannon added pressure to Masami's back. Masami winced in total pain. Would Masami have cherished each moment she had with her brother? Or would Masami just have gone on living life like Renzo was of no purpose?
Rhiannon chuckled. "You are weak. You are vulnerable. You are pathetic. You call your self the best? All I see is a failure!"
Rhiannon's words pierced Masami's heart like a bow and arrow to flesh. Maybe Rhiannon was right. Maybe Masami was a failure. Winners certainly do not end up like Masami… do they? Masami's eyes drifted around her room. It was a total mess. Rhiannon grabbed her staff and pointed the sharp end of it towards Masami's back.
"…And failures should repentance for their mistakes." Rhiannon spoke after laughing. Masami sighed. This was the end. She had nothing else to live for. She had no idea where her teammates were. She had no idea what her friends were doing. Then, it hit Masami. She could not die… at least not yet. Not by Rhiannon's hands. Rhiannon was ready to inflict a devastating blow to Masami when Masami's wing began to twitch. Masami's wing fluttered, releasing a purplish gas. Rhiannon began to cough. Now was Masami's chance! Masami crawled from under Rhiannon's foot and flew into the air, laughing at her enemy.
"Rhiannon you will never defeat me!"
Rhiannon snarled at this comment. Before Rhiannon could act, Masami busted through the roof of her home and flew into the sky. Masami flew far away from her home. Now where would she go now? She had nowhere to go. Masami quickly frowned and descended into some sort of open field. The nightlight's gaze fixated on the wounded Mew. Masami began to wince as she began pulsating. Masami was loosing control of her self. She was going to scum to her own power. She did not want to harm people. Masami wanted the killing to stop. Maybe this time she would not hurt her friends. In addition, maybe this time she will return to normal.
"Or maybe this time I'll finally stop feeding myself lies…" Masami sighed. Masami coughed up more blood as she walked towards a pile of shattered glass. Masami glanced into the broken glass and sighed. She had no purpose to live any longer. A stray tear rolled down Masami's cheek as she picked up a piece of the glass. She held in closely to her chest, preparing to end her life. She did not want to live in agony or despair any longer.
"When I die… I'll die with no regrets…" Masami gulped once more and thrusted the glass towards her heart.
"Wait Usagi-Chan!"
The glass between Masami's hands slipped through them slowly. Masami collapsed onto her knees. She just tried to kill her self didn't she? Masami's eyes widened in horror as the glass shard fell to the ground. Someone had just saved her life. Who just rescued her from hell's hands? Masami turned her head to see the green haired alien we all know. The person who had just saved her was Kisshu. Kisshu was just as startled as Masami was. She is a monster, as he is an alien. They were very much alike, but yet so different. Masami could not even form words.
"I am not Kisshu, but your inner voice. This Kisshu was just a vitalization. You must treasure him a lot. You are in a nightmare Mew Vanilla. It is time you wake up."
At that comment, Masami started to cry tears of absolute mystification and exultation. After a while, Masami wiped the tears from her eyes and replied with a sincere;
"Thank you Kisshu."
With that said, Masami's surroundings turned into a world of white. She found herself on the floor of Café Mew Mew, everyone staring vacantly at her.
"She's alive Na No Da!" Pudding exclaimed. Ryou and the others sighed deeply. Masami blinked a bit before standing up and glomping her teammates.
"I so glad I am alive!" Masami exclaimed with a smile on her face. Wait, her group hug felt empty. Someone was missing. Masami looked onto the floor, to see Ichigo passed out as well. Masami gasped.
"Oh no… how did we…"
Zakuro crossed her arms. "Rhiannon came and hit you guys with some kind of beam. Then, you both just fell out."
Masami threw her arms into the air. "Ichigo is going to die if we don't do something! We have to wake her up soon! I almost killed myself in my dream!"
Everyone flinched at this comment. Ryou's gaze intensified on Masami. "What do you mean?"
"Well… I had to be saved. My conscious saved me." Masami said while glancing at Ichigo. Masami then looked up at the Café's ceiling.
'I have to thank you Kisshu… I owe you my life.'
A/N: One word… Angst! I am emotionally drained. Sorry, there was not much fluff. As you can see, I was stuck with an emo song. -.- Next one shot will defiantly be better! It will consist of real fluff! Until then folks! More can be learned about Mew Vanilla in my story, "A Wish That Will Never Come True". Do you think I handled the song right? I need feedback! Until next challenge!
