I desire
Chapter 1
Sapphire
Have you ever wanted something more than life itself? More than the stars which twinkle on a winter night, the warmth of a dog's furry stomach, the attention of someone you love, or anything you've ever dreamed of? I have, and take my advice now; desire is a dangerous and deadly thing, especially when you don't know how to control it.
"Ok, how about this, you walk up to me what's the first thing you think?" chatted Keiichiro, he flipped back his glossy ponytail as demurely as he could. It had always amused me how every innocent stranger thought that Keiichiro was just a shy, kind gentleman, yeah right!
"Ooh sexy!" giggled Temura, she leaned over to Keiichiro and gave him an affectionate peck on the cheek, he put an arm around Temura and then turned his hazel eyes onto me, where I sat on the sofa opposite him with my legs crossed and my head tilted off the edge of the sofa letting my curly onyx black hair topple downwards. It was obvious that he wanted me to say something similar to Temura, but I merely raised my eyebrows at him.
"Alright, what do you think of Sapphy when you see her?" challenged Keiichiro. Elegantly I stood up and did a good impression of a super model walking down the runway wearing a Valentino gown. I had always known I was good looking, and I admit that I'm sort of vain however; looks never really mattered to me. My hair is black as raven feathers, my face a perfect heart shape, I have graceful blue almond shaped eyes and rosy lips. I guess you could say my body is perfect too; I'm petite but not too small.
"You don't need to ask that Keiichiro, we all know the answer" smiled Jacob, "she's ..." He stopped to think but I already knew what he'd say; perfect,
and as I thought it Jacob spoke admiringly "Perfect."
Temura started babbling about how Jacob and I should hook up, I groaned silently while Temura planned our 'wedding.' As usual I looked around the Café, they weren't here.
A few hours later the four of us exited the Mew Café, Jacob drew me aside for a few minutes while Temura and Keiichiro walked through the exotic Café gardens hand in hand.
"Sapphy, I was just wondering if you'd come to the Café this Friday, it's a costume party. I heard they throw great parties here!" asked Jacob hopefully, his tanned skin seemed to shine in the dim evening light, and as he leaned closer to me I could feel his russet hair tickle my forehead.
"Look Jake, I don't know if we should" I was against giving guys false hope so I was surprised when a second later he pressed his lips hard against mine, I was forced up against the Café wall. I stroked his glorious hair as he pulled me closer to him, I felt like I was in a corset and at last broke away from the intense kiss. His emerald eyes looked disappointed, like a puppies. I had to look up at the Café windows to keep myself from being drawn into his hypnotic eyes.
"I'm sorry Jake" I whispered and made to walk away, but then I noticed him, he watched me from a window high up in the Café. Even from here I could tell how gorgeous he was, his face was filled with sorrow, beautiful sorrow, it looked like he had jumped out of a Shakespearian tragedy. I was a sucker for blonde hotties, but this guy was way more than that.
" Sapphy?" Said Jacob curiously, I was jerked back to reality. "Will you come?"
"Fine" I muttered stubbornly, with my eyes still on the boy. Jacob
Kissed me on the cheek and pulled me to the gardens where Temura and Keiichiro were. For the rest of the time we spent at the Café I stared at the boy in the window and as we left he turned his gaze on me for the first time and smiled, or was it more of a smirk?
"They've saved the world again!" shouted the TV reporter excitedly. The battle of the Mew Mew's was showing on every TV screen in city, pink, blue, green, purple and yellow blurs shot past the Kirema Animas, blasting the villain to pieces. I let out a loud gasp, there she was Mew Ichigo! I had wanted it for years, desired it, I wanted to become a Mew Mew, and I'd do whatever it takes to become one.
My alarm beeped, signaling 8:00am. Today I was going to become a Mew Mew. I knew that the best place to try and find the Mew's would be the Café, so as I dressed I planned out my mission.
As I paced around the Café, with my back to the wall I felt like one of Charlie's angels. Peering through the window I saw them; Ichigo, Minto, Lettuce, Pudding and Zakuro. I started to climb up onto the window sill; it was hidden by a large fern so no one would see me. My heart froze, I was being watched, I had always been able to tell when someone was watching me so I swiveled round to see a brown cat wearing a cute little yellow bow. "Aww" I cooed and bent down to stroke the Cat, the air began to sparkle like glitter and I heard a faint tinkling. The cat became a boy, with blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, like mine.
"Holy crap!" I gasped, the boy laughed seductively
"That's the reaction I was hoping for" He smirked.
All of a sudden I recognized him; he was the Boy who owned the Café, the Boy in the window.
"You're supposed to go in through the Door, not the Window" he said, amused. "Why were you trying to break in anyway?" this was my chance I stood up firmly.
"I want to become a Mew Mew!" The Boy's face became slightly more serious.
"You're not supposed to know about the experiment" He whispered
"But I do, and I'll tell everyone unless you make me a Mew Mew!" I shouted.
The boy placed a finger on my lips and laughed once more.
"Your very persistent, I like that. Just let me think about it okay?"
I sighed and agreed with the handsome Boy.
"My names Ryou" he smirked holding out a hand
"Sapphire" I said shaking his hand, while I tried not to break contact with those glorious eyes.
