(Well, Guess I should introduce myself? Ponypp's the name, but feel free to call me G when addressing me. Now stop wasting your time by reading this and read my beautiful [hopefully] fanfiction! I'm new at this, and that is why it is the quality/length it is. The chapters will grow longer...when my muse does. I hope you enjoy!)

Kish walked around the school building, sighing. I still wonder what happened to her...maybe I shouldn't have released her so...blindly. He thought, freezing when he saw something he never thought he'd see. He slowly approached, stopping when he could see clearly. I-Impossible... he thought, gasping to himself. How'd she survive, let alone find her way here...it's been years...Wait...Ichigo goes to this school...and if she finds her... He didn't dare finish his thought, allowing his mind to go blank before snapping back to reality, continuing to watch her, continuing to analyze, continuing to wonder.

Shade walked in the large, brick building. She opened the large doors, cringing at the loud noise they caused. Phew, no one seemed to notice... she thought, sighing. She began to think, struggling to remember her parents. You're an orphan, but don't worry, I'm here! The old, forgotten memories rang in her ears like chimes, loud and clear. She couldn't remember who had said that to her, but she knew...something was off about that person...something old and forgotten, something she had suppressed a long time ago. She was too deep in thought to notice that she was about to bump into someone. She shrieked as they collided, falling over.

"Oh, sorry!" The pink haired girl said in a sing-song voice, giggling. She blinked at her, holding out a hand to help her out. She smiled, a warm, happy smile, something Shade hadn't remembered, or even had seen, in years.

Shade whimpered slightly, unaware the thing her care-taker had called a birthmark was showing. "I'm Ichigo, nice to meet...you..." Said Ichigo, eyes glued on the mark. She blinked, silent for a good five minutes. Impossible...only five exist...right? Or, is this some sort of trick...She thought. Without a word, Ichigo grabbed Shade's hand and dragged her into the nearest private space, which happened to be a small, cramped utility closet.

"Well, This'll take some explaining, wont it?" Ichigo sighed, staring at Shade's blank, terrified, and confused expression. She scratched her head awkwardly before saying, "Well, Only one way to explain. You're a Mew Mew." She said, smiling as if what she had just said was normal. Shade's eyes went wide. You're normal! trust me, uncle _! Thoughts flowing back, still unable to dig up the name of the person from her deep, dark, and abnormal mind. Keep that pendant, it's special! It lets you do cool things! Shade cringed at the thought before realizing Ichigo was awaiting a response, eyes still wide. "...I'm Shade." She said blankly, too dumbstruck to think of anything else to say.
