Zakuro Pure: Hi! This fic is being written by two people: miley-nanami (you'll find the link to her profile in mine) and me, but this is a translation (and I'm also the translator :D). The original is in Spanish and it is being published in miley-nanami's account. This fic is going to be a Kisshigo. However, there will be also more couples: Taruto x Purin, Ryo x Lettuce, Mint x Aoyama and Zakuro x Pai. And can ask you a favour? Please, tell me if there is anything wrong in the translation. I will change it immediately.

Miley-nanami: Hello! This is my first fic. We hope you like it! :))). I think the fic will be long, but not that much. So, read! :D

Chapter 1

—BETRAYAL—

It was a dark night in the big city of Tokyo, but it was still crowded with people. The light of buildings, signs and cars illuminated everything. People walked everywhere, carefree. Nobody noticed there weren't only human beings around. A shadow was hiding in the narrow streets, taking advantage of the dark and fighting for not being seen.

The shadow crossed some more streets, cursing his bad condition. Little by little, he left behind the noisy city and arrived at a residential area, where a few streetlights lighted the place. There was nobody out of their homes, so this time there was no need to hide so hard. Then, he stood up in front of a house which was exactly like the others (with two floors and white).

A creepy smile twisted his lips and showed his sharp teeth. His ice-cold blue eyes darted to one of the windows. The light was off. He dragged himself there difficulty. There wasn't so much distance between him and the window and, with an effort, he teleported inside the window.

In the moon light, he could saw the boy sleeping peacefully. Finally, he will have him at his feet; finally he will recover the strength that had been snatched from him once. He approached the bed and leaned over the boy, looking directly to his closed eyelids. He wanted him to wake up and look at him directly so he would know who his owner was. He would wait some seconds and the boy would notice his presence soon.

The shadow watched as the boy's eyelids trembled because of the fast movements of his eyes and, right after, they opened to show his horrifying brown eyes looking at that being that look and smile at him cruelly.

"You!"

"I've come back."

OoOoOoOoOoOo

A girl with dark red hair and two pony tails was walking happily by the center of Tokyo. Ichigo Momomiya had a date with her boyfriend, Aoyama. She was really happy because all was fine between them, above all after all what have happened. Ichigo was the leader of the famous Tokyo Mew Mew, who fought to protect the Earth. It had been three months since they had defeated Deep Blue and since they hadn't seen the three aliens that at the end of the battle had changed sides to help them. She saw her other friends, of course, as they still worked together in the Café Mew Mew.

Then, she stopped at the station where they always met and sat down in a bench. Aoyama hadn't arrived yet, even if normally he was the one who always waited for her a long time. Nervous, she looked at her watch and realized she was actually late too. A bit surprised, she decided to call her boyfriend, but he didn't answer. Ichigo sighed and looked at Masha, who was hanging from her cell phone like a decorative element.

"What if something has happened to him?"

Masha looked at her with his big pink eyes and blinked. He brushed her finger, trying to comfort her. Ichigo remembered that time when Aoyama had waited for her under the rain for hours. Then, she looked at Massha with decision. Aoyama had waited for her so she will do it for him. Of course, she will wait. Aoyama never ever will stand her up; he wasn't like that.

However, time passed. And Aoyama didn't show up. Ichigo did not remember all the times she had called him neither how many messages she had sent him. It had been five hours since she was waiting and her watch showed it was nine o'clock already. Masha had tried to convince her to go back home with her little robotic voice, but she had ignored him. Suddenly, her eyes got full of tears. She was really worried for Aoyama, but, on the other hand, there was a little voice in her head that told her he had stood her up, but she had ignored it too. ¿Why hadn't he answered her calls, if not? A bit desperate, she put her face between her hands. Every time she thought of leaving, another part of her told her to stay. That Aoyama will show up.

Then, she heard some pacing nearby, but she didn't bother to raise her face.

"Ichigo."

Ichigo recornised immediately Zakuro's voice and she turned to her, her cheeks wet with tears. Zakuro stood up in front of her, looking worried and with the severity that set her apart.

"What have happened?" Ichigo didn't answer, so she went on. "Your parents phoned to the Café Mew Mew and Shirogane asked me to find you. It's really late and they're worry. Let's go. I'll walk you home."

Although Ichigo offered resistance at first, she couldn't help it but to give up in view of Zakuro's determination. On the way home, Ichigo was calmer and she told her what had happened.

"You shouldn't rush and think the worst," she recommended her.

"I know. I know Aoyama is a good guy," Ichigo smiled, a little bit more cheerful.

They said goodbye at Ichigo's front door and Zakuro kept walking down the street. Ichico was told off by her parents right after going in, and then she went to her room without having dinner. She wasn't hungry and she didn't sleep well either.

The next day, Ichigo arrived at class with new energies. She was positive Aoyama had a reasonable explanation for what had happened, so she decided to not get depressed. Between classes, she talked to her friends, Miwa and Moe, and, as always, she fell asleep in class due to the Iriomote cat DNA. When the break time came, she ran out of the class to find Aoyama. But she didn't find him anywhere in the school. Finally, she asked one of Aoyama's classmates.

"Aoyama? He didn't come today."

Ichigo was in very low spirits during the rest of the day and she only wished for the classes to finish and go to find him. When she finally went out of the school, she said goodbye to her friends and then she phoned him several times. Like the day before, no one answered. Instead of taking her way home, she decided to go to Aoyama's. Although all houses were the same in his neighbourhood, she thought Aoyama's was the best with his front garden full of flowers. She approached the door and rang the bell several times. It seemed there was no one inside.

Now she was getting really worried. She had to look for someone who knew how to find him and the name of her boss came to her mind. Shirogane… She was sure Shirogane will know what to do. She started to run to the Café Mew Mew and, when she got through the door, out of breath, everybody turned to her.

"Ichigo, ¿are you ok?" Lettuce asked.

"I need to talk to Shirogane. Aoyama is lost. I can't find him anywhere and he doesn't pick up his cell phone."

"Maybe he's with other girl," said Mint maliciously.

"It can't be. Purin knows Aoyama loves Ichigo a lot," Purin answered with a big smile.

"Are you sure you aren't exaggerating?" Zakuro raised an eyebrow.

Ichigo shook her head.

"I'm sure. I had a bad feeling."

"Let's go to the basement," Shirogane said with a serious expression. He had been listening from the kitchen.

The basement, a dark place with a huge screen and a lot of computers, was the Tokyo Mew Mew's secret base. It was hidden under the café where they worked. Shirogane sat down in front of a computer and he started to type fast, trying to find Aoyama's sign in the city. The girls surrounded him and the only member of the team who wasn't there was Akasaka, who had remained at the café to attend their guests.

Shirogane frowned, and Ichigo thought it wasn't a good sign. She rubbed her hands together, trying desperately to calm down. What she had said was true; she had a bad feeling, she knew something bad was going on.

"He isn't anywhere," Shirogane said at last.

"What do you mean?" Lettuce asked. "He can't have left Tokyo".

"Either that or he has disappeared mysteriously. Ichigo" Shirogane turned to her, "are you sure he wasn't planning to go out of town?"

"I am. He would have told me, even if he has to do it at the last minute. He would have called me," she answered, shaking her head again.

Shirogane seemed thoughtful. Suddenly, a weak beep came from the computer and he straightened up and typed again.

"What was that little beep?" Purin ask out of curiosity.

Shirogane took some time before answering.

"It seems the computer have found an alien trail, but it's really weak. It's the first one we have recorded since the final battle."

"Could it be they're back?" Zakuro asked.

"Taru-Taru!" Purin exclaimed a little sad. She missed her little friend.

"The sign is too feeble to be them," he clarified, running his hand through his blond hair, tired.

"Can't you follow the trail?" Urged Mint, restless.

"Actually, the alien isn't there anymore. The trail is from yesterday and I just can detect it where is more powerful."

"And where is that?" Ichigo's heart started to rush. She was afraid of the answer.

Shirogane typed one more time and the exact place appeared before her very eyes. Ichigo recornised it at once. It was Aoyama's house.

"Aoyama…" she managed to say before the dizziness overcame her.

Zakuro and Mint took her before she fell to the ground and sat her down in one of the basement's chairs.

"It can't be… Aoyama." Ichigo started to cry; she couldn't believe it. "Why? What will have happened to him?"

"Calm down, Ichigo. He's ok, I'm sure. He's a strong guy," Lettuce tried to calm her down, patting her hand.

"And it can't be a powerful alien," Shirogane added. "Maybe it has nothing to do with it."

But Ichio knew he wasn't convinced at all and that he had only said that to make her feel better. It was too much of a coincidence. And he had been already possessed by one of them once.

"Ichigo, we will find Aoyama, right?" Pudin assured her, looking at the other girls.

All the girls nodded seriously. Of course they will.

Suddenlly, the computers started to beep and the alarm rang. Masha came out from behind Ichigo and started to exclaimed:

"Chimera animal! Chimera animal!"

Everybody turned to him, surprised. It was the first time a Chimera animal appeared since the aliens had gone away. Shirogane gave them the address at once.

"Estrange things are happening, but we will deal with them later. Now there is no time. Tokyo Mew Mew, GO!"

The girls nodded and Ichigo exclaimed:

"Mew Mew Strawberry! Metamorphosis…!"

The others followed her and transformed.

Quickly, they went out of the café and rushed to reach the park which was near Ichigo's school. When they arrived, a chimera animal was waiting for them. It had been a fly once, but now it was huge, its eyes moved in all directions and its mouth was full of thorns. Its wings did a tremendous noise.

"For the future of the Earth, I will serve you! Nya!" Ichigo said like she always did before a battle.

"Ribon Mint Echo! " Mint exclaimed, attacking first and making appeared a bow and an arrow.

The arrow disintegrated between the beast's wings, which were sharp as a knife, and the fly lunched Mint against the ground. Before Ichigo could attack, a voice made her stop and the fly landed sheepishly. Someone teleported next to the beast. He was wearing a dark cloak that covered all his body.

"It seems nothing has changed," he laughed sarcastically.

"Who are you?" Ichigo shouted. "Are you the one who kidnapped Aoyama?"

"Kidnapped? I wouldn't say so." Slowly, he took off his hood and showed a tanned face with brown eyes. Ichigo recornised him at once. However, his ears were huge and pointy and his long black hair almost reached the floor. He smiled, but Ichigo didn't see the Aoyama she loved in that smile. Instead, she recornised another person.

"Deep Blue?" Her voice sounded incredulous. The others looked at him astonished.

"No, my dear Ichigo." His smiled became more evil. "I'm still me, Aoyama." Ichigo couldn't say anything. "But you are right in one thing: my master, Deep Blue, is alive."

"Your master?" Zakuro asked.

"Yes. When my master came to me last night, I realized in which side I should be."

"But how is that possible?" Lettuce took a step towards Ichigo.

"But Ichigo is your girlfriend," Pudding pointed out, raising her arms like she didn't understand anything.

Aoyama laughed mockingly, taking them by surprised.

"Don't make me laugh, stupid brat." With a movement of his hand, he raised some air, causing Pudding to fell flat on her back.

His laugh hurt Ichigo more than anything else and she noticed the tears coming back in her eyes.

"Aoyama…" she managed to say with a lump in her throat. "You are not like this. What are you doing?

"You understood perfectly, Ichigo. And now I have to go. Chimera animal, attack!" And Aoyama disappeared at the same time the fly rushed towards the girls.

Ichigo could not do other thing than to fell onto the floor while hearing her friend's shouts, fighting against the beast. Any of them asked her for help and she didn't even notice that Mint remained next to her to protect her. Neither that Mint was almost as sad as her and that she was also fighting to not collapse too.

When they defeated the kimera animal, they helped Ichigo to stand up and all of them went to the Café Mew Mew. They had to inform their boss about the surprising news, although he probably already knew thanks to Masha. But Ichigo didn't listen to their conversation. She was only thinking about Aoyama. She was in shock. She didn't even cry anymore.

Later, when she was better, her friends repeated her what they had talked about at the basement: they had to ask for help to find out what was happening. Didn't they defeat Deep Blue already? Shirogane only could think about three people that might know something. Or rather three aliens.

We hope you truly like it. Please, leave a comment! It is always good to know what you think. And reviews are like chocolates for authors. It cheers us up! :D Of course, there is a reason for Aoyama's bad behaving. It is not bashing… not really ;).

Please, don't forget to tell me if something is bad translated so the readers will be happy. Also I'm studying translation, so it is good for me to know my mistakes and correct them. And I have some more questions:

What's the sentence Ichigo always says before a battle? And Shirogane's sentence?

Do you say Purin or Pudding? We say Pudding only when she is in mew mew form.

Do you say Kissh or Kisshu? Pai or Pie? Taruto or Tarb? I've seen both in English, so which one is the correct one?

Then, if you see another mistake like this, please tell me!

Thank you very much! :D

Reedited: questions have been already answered by Taffy Gregorovich and Ichigo. Thanks!
