Death to the Mew Mews
Disclaimer :I don't own Yu-Yu-Hakusho or Tokyo Mew Mew, although I wish I owned Kurama! LOL
Ichigo was bored. Again. Now that the Mew Mews had vanquished Kish and his alien friends, life had been dull. Sure, she had work and school, but Ichigo's adventurous life was over. Or so she thought.
It just seemed like another typical day at the Mew Mew Café. Mint was sitting around, drinking tea, Lettuce was dropping dishes, Zakuro was snapping at customers, and Pudding, well, Pudding was…
"I'M A GYMNAST!" Pudding yelled, turning somersaults and cartwheels around the dining area.
"PUDDING!" Ichigo shouted. "You're going to….OH MY GOD!"
"AHHHHH!" Pudding had accidentally somersaulted right into the front door. Actually, she somersaulted into a certain black-haired, short, and silent someone.
Both of them fell flat on their backs, right in front of four people who had come in with the short guy.
Ichigo rushed over, pulled Pudding up and immediately began apologizing.
"I'm really sorry, sir, Pudding here has a tendency to knock people over," Ichigo said hastily. "Pudding, please apologize."
"It was all his fault in the first place!" Pudding protested.
"Hmph," was all the person muttered.
"Hiei means to say he knows accidents happen. Right, Hiei?" a rather handsome green-eyed redhead asked the short guy.
"You know I never said such a thing, Kur-,"a black-haired guy in a green uniform had clapped his hand over Hiei's mouth.
"Hiei's just a bit shocked over the incident, so don't mind him. When little things bowl into Hiei, he suffers a bit of amnesia," the boy said cheerfully.
"What! I'm not a thing!" Pudding shrieked, trying to punch the boy, who managed to block her with one hand and shut Hiei up with the other.
"Urameshi, why do you bother with little girls? We've got to get those de-Ow! What was that for, Botan?" The speaker was a very tall carrot top, who was now looking furious at a rather pretty girl with blue-green hair.
"You idiot, we can't talk about those things right now. It's supposed to be secret," Botan snapped.
Ichigo was mystified by the whole situation, but decided to forget about it-it was after all, nothing for her to worry about.
"Pudding, get back to work. Ichigo, what are you doing standing around? Customers are waiting." Ryou interrupted the conversation and Ichigo's thoughts.
"Anyways, sorry about that. The waitresses get a little out of hand sometimes," Ryou apologized. "Ichigo, Pudding, hurry up."
"You can't boss me around, Ryou!" Ichigo yelled.
"Yes, I can! Remember, I'm your boss!" Ryou replied.
"Are not!"
"Am too!"
"Are not!"
"Am too!"
Everyone, including the newcomers, sweatdropped.
Suddenly, Botan stepped forward and said to Ichigo, "You know, Ryou's right.
"Huh?" Everyone stared at her, including the arguers.
"Well, Ryou's obviously older than you and the boss of you," Botan said matter-of-factly.
"See, I knew I was right," Ryou smirked.
"But, but, but…Ryou's just some stupid owner!" Ichigo yelled. "Besides, you don't even know Ryou!"
"She has a point, Botan," Yusuke said thoughtfully. "You just met him today."
Botan fell silent. A blush was creeping up her cheeks. Ichigo saw it immediately: Botan was falling for Ryou. She snickered quietly.
"If you're coming into this café, won't you buy something?" Mint popped into the midst of the group.
"Yeah, we have lots of good things-AHHH!" Lettuce broke another set of glasses as she headed back to the kitchen.
"LETTUCE!" Ichigo cried despairingly.
"If not, you can get out of this cafe," Zakuro said a bit coldly. "We're not waitresses for nothing."
"We'll stay," Hiei said quickly.
"Okay." The Mew Mews and Ryou were about to head back to the counter when they noticed the others staring at Hiei, who was simply ignoring them and heading over to a table.
"What's the matter?" Ichigo asked.
"Hiei's never this eager to be out in public," the redhead mused thoughtfully. "Something must be very important….."
"Awwww, who cares if Shorty wants to stay?" the carrot top said huffily. "C'mon, Ku-I mean, Shuichi, let's go sit down."
"I completely agree with you, Kuwabara," Botan said cheerfully and went over to Hiei's table. The rest of the newcomers followed and left the Mew Mews and Ryou, completely bewildered.
"These customers are kinda weird, huh?" Ichigo asked. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Could I have everyone in the lab, please?" Keiichiro inquired of the group.
"But, Keiichiro, the aliens are gone and there are no Mew Aquas anywhere ,"Mint said. "What's the problem?"
"You'll see, "Keiichiro replied.
Well, thanks for reading this. Please R & R!
