Chapter One: The small sweet café

I awoke from lying on the grass and stretched... I was unaware that I had fallen asleep… from crying… again! I sat up and began to straighten my hair as I looked around to where I was. My parents had made me move to Japan, leaving all of my friends behind, making me start a new school in the morning, having to learn another foreign language. I pulled my long reddish brown hair to the front of me and began to play with it as I looked around the park. It was getting late and I stood up as I began to make the trek home; but something out of the corner of my eye caught my attention. I turned and looked at the place in question; it was a building in the shape of a cake. I began to walk to it and saw that there were a lot of people waiting to get inside. I stood in the line as I waited, looking up to the sky and thinking about how I was going to adapt to this new strange land.

Ryou looked outside at the people who were waiting to come into the café and let out a sigh as he heard something break in the background. He could hear Pudding laughing and Lettuce apologizing as she tidied up, even though the mew mews were now three years older, they still never changed. He looked up at the line as he saw a flicker of hair in the wind. He looked at the girl who had joined the back of the queue and smiled; something made him stand up as he began to walk towards her as she looked up to the sky.

"Konnichiwa, watashi no namae wa Ryou desu. (Hello, my name is Ryou)" Someone said to me, I looked down and saw this person standing in front of me. His blue eyes shone into my soul and regardless of the cold breeze, I felt extremely warm. I tilted my head to the side as I began to translate his sentence that he said to me in my head and I smiled.

"Konnichiwa, watashi no namae wa Akemi desu. (Hello, my name is Akemi)" I said, using the name that my parents allowed me to change to... using my English name now that I was to live here was kinda pointless, so my parents said I could change my name to anything I wanted. I spent two whole days searching the internet to find the perfect name to call myself and when I told it to my parents; they said that it suited me.

"Kukki- wo tabemasen ka? (Would you like some cookies?)" He asked me, this time I had to really think about what he was saying to me, I know he was offering me something and the first word sounded like it could be the same in English. I shrugged and nodded back to this Ryou guy as he smiled took my hand and led me into the café.

I looked around in amazement as to how adorable the café looked, also the waitresses' uniforms as they served the customers… there was one however who was just sitting there and drinking tea, I pulled a confused look at this one. Ryou pushed the swinging doors and we walked into the kitchen, there, another person was making cakes and smiled as he saw Ryou came in. They both began to speak in Japanese as I looked around and at the cakes. I heard someone calling my name as I looked up and made a noise.

"Gomen nasai? (I'm sorry?)" I said as Ryou looked at me and repeated his question… this time the look of confusion was evident on my face since I was not sure what he was saying to me, "I'm sorry, I have only been in Japan for a few months and I still haven't learnt the language completely." I said to him and he smiled as did his friend.

"Would you like to have some chocolate cake?" He asked in perfect English as I gasped at him and then smiled. I nodded as he grinned and cut me a piece of cake and handed it to me on a plate.

"Go yukkuri douzo. (Enjoy your meal)" He said to me and I understood what this meant.

"Arigatou" I said as he sat down on the opposite end of the table and I began to eat the cake. One of the waitresses came in and asked for the order from the customers and then left, without even giving me a second look. I went back to eating the cake, it was wonderful, and the best cake I had ever eaten! "Totemo suki desu! (This is delicious!)" I said as to which the person who was baking blushed and bowed.

"Doumo arigatou (thank you very much)" he said to me and I nodded as I finished the cake and the looked at Ryou.

"Why are you doing this for me?" I asked him and he grinned.

"Special treatment for the last person who was waiting in line today." He said as he shrugged and I went back to looking at the table. "It is, of course on the house, we hope that you will come again," he said as I nodded and stood up and bowed before the pair. Walking out of the kitchen I walked out of the café all the time wondering why a stranger would help a person like me.

"She is perfect for this animal." Ryou said to Keiichiro and he pondered on this for a split second before he opened his mouth to say something "I don't know how I knew, I just knew…" Ryou said as he turned to his friend who nodded at him. "We should get one of the mew mews to make friends with her" he continued and once again Keiichiro nodded. Ryou picked up his phone and began to call one of the Mew Mews in order to get their plan into action.
