Betraying My People Chapter 1:

Ryou's Mistake

"Ichigo! Get to work!" Ichigo snarled, but obeyed. She had been working for Shirogane Ryou for less than a month, and she hated him. On top of that, she was the only one who actually worked. Mint never did anything, Lettuce broke all the dishes, and they hadn't found the other two Mews yet. As Ryou opened his mouth again, Ichigo snapped.

"SHUT UP!" she screamed. "I'm sick of hearing you complain about how awful I am. I QUIT!"

Ryou looked shocked. "Y-you can't quit, you're a Mew!" he said.

"Watch me," Ichigo spat, and stomped out. She went straight home, and her parents looked up, startled.

"Shouldn't you be at the Café?" Sakura asked.

"NO! I'm sick of hearing Ryou tell me how horrible I am!" Ichigo shouted. "I told him I was quitting. If you see him, DO NOT let him in this house." Without waiting for an answer, she went to her room and slammed the door.

Later that night: Ichigo was watching TV when the doorbell rang. Her parents were in the kitchen, washing dishes. "Ichigo, can you get the door?" Sakura called.

Ichigo sighed and went to the door. As soon as she opened it, someone pressed a cloth over her face, and she felt herself start to lose consciousness. The last thing she heard before she passed out was, "Say goodbye to your past."

Still later: Ichigo woke up, and found herself on a medical table in- the basement of Café Mew Mew? She wondered. Why am I here?

Then she heard Ryou's voice. "Waking up?"

"RYOU! What the HELL did you do?" Ichigo screamed. Moving around, she discovered she wasn't tied up, so she got off the table and stood up. She glared at Ryou, who seemed shocked.

"You still remember me?" he asked.

"Of course I remember you, you're the guy who's been making my life miserable lately," Ichigo said. "Why did you kidnap me, and where are my parents?"

Ryou looked away. Then he muttered something, and Ichigo heard, "Damn. The brainwashing machine didn't work."

"You tried to brainwash me!?" Ichigo asked. "Just so I'd work for you? You're out of your mind. I'm NEVER going to work for you! I'm going home." She started to walk to the stairs, when Ryou grabbed her arm. She spun and kicked him in the shin, and he let go.

Ichigo ran all the way home, and went to her front door. Strangely, it was open. "Mom? Dad?" Ichigo called out hesitantly. She cautiously walked in, and to the living room. What she saw there made her scream.

Both her parents were lying on the floor, dead. Someone, most likely Ryou, had stabbed both of them to death. Ichigo was paralyzed in shock. Then the paralysis snapped, and she thought. She could kill Ryou, but she'd end up in jail. Then another idea occurred to her. A pair of amber eyes appeared in her mind's eye.

Kisshu, she thought. If I join him, I'll have a better chance of getting revenge on Ryou. Now the only two problems are finding him- and convincing him to let me join him.

Okay, new plan while I try to think of stuff for Ichigo's Illness and Amnesia. Review plz!
