Chiyo: Hey guys! So I figured since this is the first story I've ever made on here, I'll throw in my own OCs so I'm not waiting a year and a half for a request, but I won't tell you right now :P I will tell you that Mew Bella requested Mitsukie. "Back To Rule" title arrived from me being stupid. Well, the title arrived from how strong I ship Ichigo and Kisshu, and that got me thinking about the ending of the anime, and that led to this XD So have fun reading! :)
Chapter 1
A New Mew?
Ichigo and Masaya haven't really been what they used to be. 'Sorry, Masaya, I have to stay late in work today. Love you.' Ichigo texted the boy she once loved. Why did she still say 'Love you' if she didn't really love him? Their love for each other started to fade. Moe and Miwa had moved away so they weren't in the same school as Ichigo anymore. Mint and Zakuro had left to who knows where, leaving Pudding, Lettuce, and Ichigo to work at the Cafe alone. Ryou seemed to have changed... To say it easily, Ichigo didn't really hate him anymore. In a couple days, it would be Valentines day, and honestly, Ichigo wanted to spend Valentines day with Lettuce and Pudding more then Masaya. "Ichigo, Lettuce, Pudding." Ryou called to the girls walking inside the Cafe about an hour before the Cafe opened. "Come on down stairs for a minute."
"I wonder what he has planned for Valentines Day..." Lettuce whispered to the girls. "Maybe he has a dinner reserved for us again like last year!"
Pudding giggled. "No, he probably has a picnic with just us planned!"
Ichigo stayed quiet, hoping that she could find a way to not be with Masaya. "Ichigo." Ryou said, breaking Pudding's and Lettuce's guesses to a stop. "I know how you've been trying to find ways to get out of being around Masaya, so that got me thinking." Ichigo smiled, Ryou was actually a pretty nice guy. "You guys haven't been to a dance in five years, and maybe there's someone Masaya wants to be with for Valentines Day. So..."
Keiichiro walked into the room, finishing Ryou's sentence. "We got a friend to get us a spot on the list for her kids sweet 16. She's a pretty popular girl, I'm sure you all know her- or at least know of her."
Ichigo smiled. "You boys never seem to fail in surprising me!" She laughed.
Lettuce and Pudding nodded. "Ichigo's right!" Pudding yelled. "You always surprise us!"
Ryou pulled a box out of a dresser. "Lettuce, this is your dress I made for you for the dance." Lettuce happily took the box wrapped in green ribbon and held it against her chest. "Pudding..." Pudding snatched the box wrapped in yellow ribbon and stared at it, imaging a bunch of different types of dresses. "And Ichigo..." Ichigo gently took the box wrapped in red ribbon and just held it in her hands against her stomach. "I hope you girls like them. Go ahead and get ready to open the Cafe."
Pudding and Lettuce, smiling the entire way, ran to the dressing room and slipped in their uniform. "Ichigo." Keiichiro called to the redhead. "You seem down."
"No, not really... I just don't want to be with Masaya anymore, but I don't want to be lonely in school either..." Ichigo sighed. "I just don't know what to do..."
Ryou and Keiichiro smiled. "Tell him the truth of how you feel, he'll understand." Keiichiro said, glad that Ichigo FINALLY decided that she didn't want to be with that jerk.
Ichigo smiled faintly and nodded. "Ok..." She turned to the stairs to the dressing room, a bigger smile appearing on her face. "Thanks, Keiichiro!" She ran downstairs and slipped into her uniform. "What kind of dress do you think Ryou made you guys?" Ichigo asked, cleaning the tables.
Lettuce smiled. "Something short-sleeved, plain but cute. Look at what we normally wear when we come into work, he proabably made something like that, but more... Fancy."
Pudding sighed. "I hope not! I hate my school uniform!" The blondie moaned. "He better surprise us!"
The girls started laughing and talking about what they think is going to happen on Valentines day.
AFTER CAFE MEW MEW CLOSES
Ichigo started heading home and decided to look at her phone to see if Masaya texted her. 'Hey, Ichigo. I was wondering if we could meet in the park after you get done with work.' Ichigo quietly cheered and ran to the biggest tree in the park, where she normally met up with Masaya. "Masaya-kun!" She yelled as she ran over to him.
"Ah, Ichigo!" Masaya smiled. "I was starting to wonder if you'd come or not..."
Ichigo sighed. "Sorry, late day at work again. Since Zakuro left, Pudding, Lettuce, and I have more work to do. You wanted to talk about something?"
Masaya nodded. "Well, I've noticed that you've had something on your mind lately. Can you tell me what's wrong?"
The former Mew Mew nodded happily. "I hope you'll understand, Masaya." Almost never did she call him 'Masaya' infront of him. "But I just lost my feelings for you. I don't really love you like I used to... I don't want to date you if I don't love you anymore, and I know it's close to Valentines Day so I feel bad for not saying this sooner..."
The boy smiled. "That's what I thought. Ichigo, I feel the same way. I just don't love you like I used to, so maybe it's for the better that we aren't together."
Ichigo smiled. "I hope you have a great Valentines Day, Masaya." Masaya nodded and they both parted ways.
That sure was easier then she expected. "Leave me alone!" A girl with pure white hair, one light purple eye and one dark pink eye yelled, backing away from another girl with orange hair and blue eyes. "Don't touch me! Get away from me!" Her heel got stuck in a hole in the sidewalk and she fell backwards, onto her bottom...
During this time, Ryou was sitting in his chair, relaxing. "Ryou, did you really make those dresses? You don't look like you do much lately..." Keiichiro joked.
"Of course I did. After five years of being bored out of my mind, I needed something to do, and I guess sewing is just a thing I can do." Ryou sighed. A loud beeping went off in the lab room and Keiichiro almost messed up the word 'Sixteen' on the cake he was making. Ryou fell out of his chair and instantly contacted Lettuce, the first person on his contacts.
Back with Ichigo, she was completely confused on what was going on. The girl with white hair crawled backward. "Someone help me!" She yelled. Swatting away the floating girls hand. "Please!"
Ichigo finally caught on. Cyniclons! But a girl? Here on Earth? Attacking? Why? "Aaahahah! You humans really are weak!" The Cyniclon yelled, an evil laugh escaping her lips. "Die now, human!" She thrusted her dagger towards the girls stomach.
"Leave her alone!" Ichigo shouted running over and stunning the Cyniclon with her transformation. "Why are you here?! We saved your planet five years ago! Why are you attacking again?!"
The Cyniclon sighed. "Orders from our master. Now, thing, you're in my way."
The girl had fallen unconscious behind Ichigo and Lettuce and Pudding ran over. "Ichigo! You transformed!" Pudding yelled, almost depressed. "Why!?"
Ryou and Keiichiro ran over as well. "Lettuce, Pudding!" Ryou yelled, throwing them their pendants. "Transfrom and help Ichigo! The Cyniclons that are back are far stronger then Kisshu and the others!"
"Kisshu..." Ichigo whispered to herself.
"Ahh, so you're that 'Ichigo' that he likes. Well well well... You'll just have to die first then, huh? No one is getting in our way this time! We will rule Earth!" The Cyniclon laughed again, more evil then ever. "If Kisshu failed to what our master wanted him to, because of you, Ichigo, then you must be killed."
Ryou ran over to the uncounscious girl on the ground. Picking her up, he saw a mark on her hand, but not a regular mark. He ran back over to Keiichiro and kneeled down, tending to the wounds on her shoulder. The girl started opening her eyes, shocking both Keiichiro and Ryou. With a tiny gasp, they both realized who she was. "Izumi?!" They asked in unison.
"Ah... Mr. Ryou, Mr. Keiichiro... I'm sorry to bother you guys, you guys are so nice." Izumi smiled, standing up. "But thank you for saving me. And when you can, thank the girls for me-"
Keiichiro chuckled a bit. "Why not stay? I'm sure the girls would love you being their new friend." Keiichiro made a small gesture to her hand, not knowing if Ryou noticed or not. Ryou nodded a little, letting Keiichiro continue. "Won't you stay?"
Izumi sighed. "I want to help... How can I help?" She asked, looking at the boys with worried eyes. "I have this mark on my hand, I got it yesterday, and it was starting to glow when I ran into that girl..."
Ryou and Keiichiro looked at each other. "We haven't met a Mew Mew yet that hasn't been able to transform, but we don't have anymore pendants..." Keiichiro said.
With a sigh, Ryou started thinking. "Ichigo!" Lettuce yelled, watching Ichigo fly in the air and skid across the ground, into a tree. "Ichigo!"
Izumi turned around, facing the Cyniclon. "Maybe she'll just transform... I mean, didn't Ichigo say Lettuce already knew how to transform? She didn't even know she was a Mew Mew, yet she was able to transform." Ryou said.
Chiyo: Chapters might get pretty long, so beware... Mitsukie will be added, don't worry, I have an idea~ Anyway, I hope you guys liked it! . I know it probably sucks, but I still hope you guys liked it!
