A/N: Hello and welcome to the sequel of my series. I'd like to start by saying this will be rated T until things change. NOT A SPOILER BUT I prefer Leo to deal with slightly difficult teen situations. So as I said it might change the rating. But for now it's T until further notice.

It was a clear crisp morning. Each high school student sluggishly made their way into the school gates and only a few rare annoying students were screaming for their friends with excitement. This was normal. Every student struggled to seek out their friends and battle their sleepiness.

"Eh excuse me," a blue haired girl said politely as she pushed passed a group of students. They called out to her and she politely waved but pressed on.

She turned her head in various directions in search of her close friend.

"Hey Amber," a boy called out to her.

She looked over to see her beloved approaching her with another one of their friends.

"Jojo, Apollo, good morning guys. Have any of you seen Leo? I've been looking for her all morning," she asked tiredly.

Both guys shook their heads. Amber huffed irritably before crossing her arms. She rolled her eyes and hope to God her friend wasn't skipping class again. This was starting to become a bit of a habit.

"She hasn't exactly been the same since… you know," Jojo hesitated.

"Well maybe this time will be different. Maybe she'll show up for class," Amber replied.

"Well speaking of which, it's about class time now. We should hurry before we're late," Apollo said as he urged his two friends on.

They reluctantly followed him into the school to begin their day.

The girl in question was at school, but she wasn't in class. She sat on the school roof with a popsicle in her mouth and taking pictures of the early morning sun with her phone.

"Beautiful as always," Leo said quietly.

"You know you really should be in class right now," Mamo, her robotic cat companion, said irritably.

"Maybe later."

"Maybe later comes out of your mouth a lot. Education is very important and you need to go."

Leo pushed her bangs out of her face and shrugged. Her red hair only fell right back into her face. She rolled her eyes and pushed it back again.

"Look I'll go to class just let take this one last picture of you," Leo said finally as she pointed her phone at Mamo.

He smiled for her to get it over with and she quickly snapped the photo.

"What do you with all the images anyway?" Mamo asked curiously.

"I look at them and delete them later. I just use it to stall for time. Anyway let's go."

She opened her backpack and Mamo jumped into it. She quickly jumped off the roof and headed straight for class.

During lunch, Amber scolded Leo for being late.

"Leo you really need to stop coming late to class. You need to graduate just like everyone else. I don't wanna see you fail at life," Amber scolded angrily.

"I know, I know relax, I'll be on time tomorrow how about that?" Leo replied in hopes it would calm her down.

Apollo pointed at a boy who was usually staring in their direction and chuckled.

"Hey Amber your admirer is looking over here again," Apollo said jokingly.

"I have a lot of admirers okay but everyone already knows Jojo is my boyfriend so I don't care," Amber replied curtly.

Jojo shrugged casually.

Leo looked back and made eye contact with the guy staring in their general direction. He looked away almost immediately and rubbed the back of his head while he talked to his friends. She saw them giggling at him and she turned back around.

"Pfft weirdo," Leo muttered quietly.

"She's right about you missing class though," Jojo said finally.

"Yeah I get it thanks guys."

"You shouldn't screw your education over just because of a boy from four years ago," Apollo said indifferently.

Jojo and Amber gasped and she quickly smacked Apollo on the shoulder to correct him. Leo stood up immediately and left the cafeteria.

"Look what you did!" Amber barked.

"I'm not lying!"

"Yeah but you shouldn't say it like that," Jojo replied firmly.

Leo took a deep breath and stood in the hallway by herself. She quietly paced around the empty hallway and tried to get her thoughts together. She eventually leaned against the wall until the boy who was staring earlier approached her suddenly. She looked up at him, startled, by his sudden appearance.

"Jesus Christ!" She nearly shouted.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you," he said gently.

His voice was deep and the sound of it caught her off guard. She shrugged finally and turned her nose into the air.

"If you think I'm going to help you flirt with Amber then I'm letting you know now, she's taken. And you're definitely not the first guy to use me to get to her just because I'm her best friend," Leo said coldly.

"Oh geez you got me all wrong there sweetheart, I'm not interested in Amber. I actually wanted to talk to you but I'm terrible at approaching a girl who's distracted with her friends. I saw you get up and figured now was a good time. Unless you want to be left alone," he replied smoothly.

"Pfft you? Have trouble approaching women?"

She sized him up and he was attractive. His shaggy black hair fell over his face and he was unusually taller than the rest of the boys at school. He was thin and didn't seem to be awkward at all. There was an air of self confidence about him.

"Sure, everyone has trouble with something right? I'm not perfect," he replied.

"Well I'm not interested."

"In what? I just came to ask your name."

"Leo Aoyama. You got what you want now just go away."

"What? I didn't know this was one sided. You're not interested in my name? You're fine with leaving this as a stranger just asking your name?"

Leo couldn't help but falter at that charming smile on his face. His light-hearted joking tone of voice made her less cruel to him. She smirked a little bit and crossed her arms.

"Fine then what's your name?" She asked with a bit of a warmer voice.

"Usagi Mishima. Pleasure to finally meet you Miss Aoyama," he said smoothly.

Leo stared at him in silence. His blue eyes seemed more familiar now that she knew his name. She hesitated for a moment before finally saying something. The look in her eyes caught him off guard and he wasn't sure how to respond to that unique face expression she was giving him.

"Usagi," she muttered quietly.

"That's right."

Leo hugged herself and turned away.

"Well it was a pleasure meeting you but I have to go," she replied quickly as she walked off in a hurry.

She left him standing there confused by her response. He scratched his chin quietly trying to understand what he did wrong.

Leo walked home by herself after insisting to her friends that she rather be alone. Mamo sat on her shoulder and went over the day with her.

"And there's homework to be done and with a little motivation you should be able to finish it before dinner."

He noticed she was unusually quiet. He tilted his curiously at her before asking her what was wrong. Seeing the look on her face he deducted it was probably better to ask later. She had suddenly come to a halt and he wondered what stopped her in her tracks. He looked up with her and there was an unfamiliar but somehow familiar face standing in front of her.

"Leo Aoyama?" The tall man asked.

"The one and only."

"Pleasure. My name is Pai. I'm a close friend of Amber and Yogurt's fathers."

"I've heard of you but never met you."

"Well glad we're getting acquainted now. I have something for you."

He handed her a business card. She stared at it quietly.

"Conservation Mew Mew."

Leo squinted her eyes at it and shook her head.

"Why do I need this?" She asked angrily.

"Calm down you haven't even let me explain this yet. Conservation Mew Mew is a project that I've agreed to join with your former familiar, Ryou Shirogane and Keiichiro Akasaka."

Those names were like nails on a chalkboard for her. She winced upon hearing them and Mamo immediately lit up hearing them.

"Shit, what do they want from me now?" She asked.

"Nothing more than your cooperation and participation in this effort. We're trying to recover all the data lost from four years ago after the cafe was destroyed along with all the hard work of Project Mew Mew. I understand that if we can gather all the former Mews and have them join it'll be easier to restore the information and data lost. And if I can understand right, your little robot knows the entire history of this said project."

Leo held Mamo protectively and she shook her head.

"I'm done being a Mew Mew and I don't want anything more to do with it. It's only caused me pain and I prefer to leave it all behind thanks," she replied curtly.

Pai grabbed her arm before she could walk off.

"If I'm not mistaken I'm sure you haven't left any of it behind and that's why you're so defensive about this. My recommendation is that you come see us on Saturday. The location is on the card."

Leo snatched her arm away from him and she hurried home. She had no plans to visit them and she certainly didn't want to.

Leo rolled over in her bed the next night and stared at the business card.

"You should go tomorrow," Mamo said as he climbed over her shoulder.

"Why?" She asked in a whisper.

"Well it might be a benefit for the world. Besides that was a lot information we lost that day. You know… after Cafe Mew Mew got obliterated."

"I really just want to put everything behind me and move on."

"Well maybe this will give you the closure you're looking for."

Leo turned her head to look at Mamo. He gave her a sincere expression and she sighed tiredly.

"You always want to me to get in some kinda mess don't you?"

"Hey I'm just trying to help," Mamo replied firmly.

She hung her head over shoulders feeling defeated. She let out a tired sigh and finally responded.

"Alright fine. I'll go tomorrow but only because you want me to," she said tiredly.

"Thank you."
