Romantic Wings
Chapter 1: The New Mew in Town Kya
Hi, I'm Shintara Hanayima, and this is my story. Yes, I know it may sound weird, but let's just say… My story is something you'd call "odd". I live in Tokyo, Japan even though I wasn't originally born there. I'm from Europe, but my dad found a really high paying job here in Japan and we moved here. I've lived here since I was six-years old. Even now I still have my short, spikey-tipped blonde hair and blue eyes.
On the day it all began, I remember wearing my pink frilled dress. The bottom of the dress was garnished with pink frills and around my waist I had a pink ribbon. I was dressed especially for my birthday. I tip toed into my parents' room, a big grin spread on my face. My eyes began to sparkle with excitement. I was ready to put on the most kawaii expression on my face just to get a present from them.
"Mom! Dad! Do you know was day it is!" I shouted. My mom and dad looked at me. I began to blush like crazy. What the hell are you doing! I thought. "K-k-k-KYAAAAAA I'm so sorry, so sorry, I never meant to yell… Honestly!" I began to spazz out, waving my arms around and having an odd expression on my face, the same kind Tohru Honda from Fruits Basket would have whenever she would spazz.
"Hee hee… It's okay, Shintara, dear. We remembered," my mom said, smiling and giving me a hug.
"Kay. I'll be downstairs then," I said. I ran down the stairs. I never knew it that that time, but those were the last words I remember saying to my mother and father. As soon as I ran down the stair I began to hear something. At first I was confused. What I heard sounded faintly like a whisper in my ear. "W-Who's there…?" I whimpered, slowly walking to a wall.
"Heh. Why the surprised look, Kaori?" a deep voice echoed across the room as a tall man burst through the door. He was wearing a brown leather jacket with fur on it. On his shoulders rested the blade of a sword.
A thought crossed my mind. Kaori? Doesn't that mean…"Destruction"? But... I'm not that… Am I? I'm Shintara, "Angelic"…I thought. "I'm sorry. I think you have the wrong person." I replied, putting my hands in front of me.
The man laughed again. "Oh… So you don't remember, do you? Well, maybe THIS will jot your mind!" he shouted and he unsheathed his sword. An aura of ember flames surrounded the tip of the blade as fire erupted into the room. Flames engulfed the front door and the surrounding walls. It seemed like all hope was lost.
"Wha… WHAT IS THIS!" I screamed, running towards the stairs. I was stopped by my parents, looks of shock and despair in their faces. I knew that they too were as frightened as me. "Mom… Dad, we have to get out of here!" I cried, tears falling down my now warm face.
"Shintara, we'll take care of this. Please, run." My mom said as my dad pushed me away towards the kitchen.
By then I had thoughts of fear and doubt in my mind. Please, don't die, I kept thinking. I didn't want any losses. I knew the fire would only spread. I panicked and ran for the kitchen. I was searching for the back door. At last I spotted it at the end of the kitchen! I bolted for it and ran into the courtyard. What I saw next came as a total shock to me.
There, standing in front of me, was a winged lion. It's eyes burned with hatred and it's fur shined a dazzling orange. It looked like the most amazing creature I had ever seen! It turned it's gaze to me and roared. My heart almost skipped a beat. I was frightened and didn't know what to do. All I could think about was staying alive.
"MOM, DAD, I NEED YOU!" I shouted. Tears were falling down my cheeks, I could feel their warmth as my face started to turn red. I have no hope. Mom and dad are probably dead, and now I'm gonna die…I kept thinking. I knew that wasn't the way to think. For a moment, everything went black. When I opened my eyes, I was so amazed. Nothing seemed like reality anymore. To me, reality didn't exist. But fantasies did.
A bright white light covered my body. I had no idea what was happening, but I felt so safe and warm. The words I said next just came to my mind I didn't even know why I said them, but I did. "Mew Mew Shintara Metamorphosis!" I span around and felt ribbons wrap around my body. A white frilled top appeared on my body, next a black miniskirt. I closed my eyes and I felt my wind blow in the wind. I was shocked when I felt something grow out of my head. I raised my foot and let the ribbons wrap around to form black boots with laces. A pink ribbon wrapped on my waist and formed a bow on my back.
"Wow, this is so cool! I never knew I could transform!" I exclaimed, reaching the top of my head and playing around with my new bunny ears and looking down at my fashionable new outfit. I looked in front of me. Oh, right. I forgot about the lion, I said in my head, sweat dropping down my head. I glanced behind me and gasped. My house was almost burned down. "Now what? Even if I beat this lion, I still won't have a home," I whispered. Either way I looked at it, I didn't have a hope of beating this lion and saving my home.
