A New Battle Chapter 1
Pitch black everywhere is what I saw when I looked around in all directions. There was hardly a person in sight. "What is going on here?" I asked angrily totally confused and a little afraid of the outcome of this.
"You needn't be afraid Ichigo." A female voice stated to me and all though I know that I have never heard the voice in my life I felt safe and calm and very familiar for some odd reason.
"Who are you and what do you want with me?" I demanded of my mystery guest in my dream.
"I am you and you are me." The voice replied.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I demanded.
"I don't have time to explain all that, I have come to warn you of the battle ahead. You and our friends are in for a very rude awakening. You will once again need to gather them all together and fight if you wish to keep the planet safe. You all will face many obstacles this time around but you must never forget that you all our a team and are all friends. If you keep that in mind you should be able to figure things out." The 'other me' said before fading off somewhere.
"Wait!" I called to her only to find myself looking at the lavender painted walls of my room and to see that the clock on the wall read 4:59 a.m. 'This has got to be some bad joke. That is it no more thinking about Mew Ichigo before bed for me." I said as I allowed myself to fall back onto the bed and out of the setting position I had been in.
"But if what the 'dream me' says is true then I have no choice but to gather the others." I said to myself as I mentally prepared myself for the threats and the criticism I was sure to get from a lot of the girls. Especially, after what happened with Lettuce, Shirogane, Masaya, and myself. I looked up at the clock again, No use going back to sleep. I might as well go about my morning routines. I thought to myself as I reluctantly got out of my warm bed and into the cold early morning air. By the time I had finished all my morning routines it was seven in the morning and Tokyo Den doesn't open up till ten in the morning so I decided to go for a morning Jog.
Like every day when I went for a jog I avoided three parts of town like the plague; the Park me and the girls always meet up at, the spot were Café Mew Mew is located, and the train station entrance that me and Masaya always meet at for our dates. However, today of all days just had to be diffrent, as if that freaky dream wasn't clue enough. As I made my way back to Tokyo Den just a few minuets before it was to open my cell went off.
"Ichigo, speaking, how can I help you?" I asked as I tried to balance my cell and open the gates at the same time.
"Ichigo, I won't be able to come in today." My best chief and the only chief that was supposed to be working today stated.
"SAY WHAT!" I yelled into my cell earning a good thousand odd looks from people passing by.
"Hanson, you know what this means right?" I demanded not quite sure she did.
"Of course I do Ichigo, but I can't get away today so please just this once close the store for the day." She pleaded.
"'He's there with you isn't he?" I demanded.
"Hai." She replied.
"Fine but only because the two of you are fiancees and only get to see each other every other month due to his work schedule. And don't even think about making this a habit our I'll go over there and drag you to work dressed or not. " I stated.
"Yes, Ka-sama." She replied with a laugh before hanging up and leaving me to tell all of the workers that were to come in today that they now have a day off. The joys of being a restaurant owner. I thought to myself with a sigh as I got to work.
