I didn't remember my name, I didn't remember my life before now, I didn't remember my age or best friend. All I knew was that I'd been faking unconsciousness on a cold hard floor, in a room smelling of anesthetics and metal for at least five minutes. My head hurt. I decided I had to open my eyes. I was in a laboratory of some sort. There were odd machines everywhere. There was a blonde man working at a microscope. I saw a panel of metal on the ceiling, it reflected me. I apparently was a red-head. I had no idea where I was besides what I saw, and the guy looked unfamiliar. I worked up my courage to talk to the man, I had no other options.
"Excuse me, Sir? Uh, where am I?" I said, standing up.
"Oh. You're awake. You don't remember me?" He asked.
"Yeah...it's weird." I said, looking down.
"I'm your boss, Shirogane." Shirogane said.
"Oh. Thanks. Do you know who I am?" I asked, needing to know.
"Yeah. You're Momomiya Ichigo, thirteen years old. Dated a kid called Masaya until he was tragically killed." Shirogane said. "Oh God." I thought.
"Do you know who did it?" I asked.
"Yeah. An alien. His name was Kisshu. He killed your parents too. We agreed that we were going to send you to his planet to execute him, but then I found you unconscious on the ground outside Cafe Mew Mew, that's where you work. He had been generally terrorizing Tokyo, until I turned five girls, you were one of them,effectively into superheroes. You stopped him and the other aliens, but not before he killed your boyfriend and parents. I think you had these on you when I found you earlier." He said, handing her two photos, one of a man and a woman, and another of a teenaged boy. "Your parents and boyfriend." he said.
"Somehow, I doubt that I'm a superhero." I said.
"I think you transform by saying "Mew Mew Strawberry, metamorphosis" or something. I forget.
"Okay, I'll try. Mew Mew Strawberry, metamorphosis!" I shouted. Suddenly, I felt my body change. I looked at myself, and there I was. Standing in a stupid pink dress. I felt like I had improved hearing. I caught my relection on something metal in the lab. I had cat ears and a tail! "Woah." I said.
"Told you." Shirogane said. I disliked him all ready. "To summon your weapon, say its name. Shout out whatever comes to mind."
"Uh, Strawberry Bell Bell." Suddenly, there was a pink furry heart in my hand. "Gah!" I shouted, startled.
"You have cat dna, so you'll have some odd mannerisms similar to a cat. And you'll get cat ears whenever you get too excited. Oh, you'll transform fully into a cat if you get very excited, you'd have to kiss someone to return to normal."
"O-okay. So, when do I go to space?" I asked. Shirogane sighed. While I definitely didn't want to kill this Kisshu, I figured I would be able to get some answers from him, I could tell there was something up with the way Shirogane was acting.
"Soon, one thing. Mew aqua can heal and purify things. There is theoretically a lot on there planet, so use that if you get injured." Shirogane said. "I'll teleport you there. It'll be a little rough." Shirogane got up and walked to a large machine. It had what I assumed to be a hand-print reader. "Put your hand there." I walked over and did as he said. He handed me a small device, it had a switch and a button. "This will teleport you back to Earth." I took it then he pulled a lever and I felt terrible pain, as if I was being turned inside out. Suddenly, everything whent black.
When I awoke, I was in a bedroom. There were several pictures of me on the walls, my red hair clashing with green paint. "Someone likes me, apparently." I thought. The door opened, and a boy literally flew in.
"Kitten! You're awake. How did you even get here?"
"Is that my name?" I asked, figuring that pretending that I didn't know that Shirogane sent I here would be a good idea.
"No, your name is Ichigo. You really don't remember anything?" He said, concerned.
"Sorry...I don't. I said.
"Well, I'm Kisshu. My adopted brothers and I were ordered to take over the Earth, which was stupid and I knew it, by the way. So your boss, who's extremely evil, turned you and four other girls into animal-human hybrids against your will. You were told to fight us. Then I came, we fought. My adopted brothers, Pie and Tart, came to help me out after a while, and we fought some more. I slowly fell in love with you. Suddenly, our Leader Deep Blue turned up in Tokyo and fought you five. He was using the body of your boyfriend, at the time. I realized that he was evil when you started fighting him one-on-one. Then I realized that I really did love you, and sacrificed myself so you could be safe. I died, and you didn't run. I presume you fought him, and you both died or something. Then your body turned up and your boyfriend comes waltzing up to you and kissed you, and you magically came back to life or something. Then we formed a truce and left. And now, six months later, you turn up here." Kisshu explained, somehow managing it in one breath.
"Oh. Okay then." I said, confused. "Why are they both telling completely different stories? What the hell." I thought. An awkward silence formed
"So, I figured out how to make ramen while you were out, do you want some?" Kisshu asked, trying to break said silence.
"Thanks." I said, smiling.
This idea started as a Kishigo that portrayed Ichigo as the bad guy, but morphed into this. It also has been at the back of my mind for a long time. And before you wonder (if it's not all ready too late), Kisshu will still be shipped. Be patient, and then you will see the Kishigo. Just less slice of life fluff.
