Disorientation: Accidental Pride

Chapter One: The Misleading Return

A blonde-haired man sat at a table in a pink smothered café, his dazzling silver-blue eyes snapped left to right as he read the information before him. He glanced up only for a second to acknowledge the presence of his café's chef and his best friend. The man was eighteen now, although he was so young he seemed to have aged over the past few years. He had shadowy bags under his eyes and hardly spoke to anyone nowadays – not that he did much before.

"Ryou, I have had a call from Ichigo."

The bush of blonde hair shot upwards at this name…Ichigo. How he had missed her, she had written a letter that broke his heart only two years before, also his crime-alien-fighting team; Tokyo Mew Mew. Despite the fact she had left them all for a reason unknown to them, he never forgot her. Finding his place and remaining calm he spoke back to his best friend.

"What did she want, Keiichiro? Why has Ichigo called?" His voice cracked at Ichigo's name and his head sank.

"She's coming home."

"Home?"

"Here, to Café Mew Mew." Keiichiro smiled, a spark of joy in his eyes, he hoped that there would be one in Ryou's. Instead, the young adult merely got up and went to his room when a young girl entered wearing an orange uniform of the Café bounded in.

"Ichigo is coming home, na no da?!" she screamed at Keiichiro. Pudding was now ten years old, yet she still seemed to be that energetic little girl they had come to love and know.

"Yes, Pudding. She says she will arrive within the hour, actually, I took the call fifty-five minutes before hand so she'll be here soon. She says she has a 'surprise' for us and not to freak out.

"Na no da? A surprise? Oh onee-chan what could it possibly be?!" she bounded to the door and peered out the window awaiting her beloved friend.


"Mama."

A girl about aged sixteen with long red hair turned to face a small toddler outstretching its arms in a want for a hug.

"Hey there, Keiichigo!" she picked up the small toddler and hugged her tightly.

"Mama." The only thing the young toddler could say was 'Mama' it hadn't learnt much else. Her mother walked up a clean street and sighed, the child peered up at her in confusement.

"It's been a long time, Kei. I wonder if they'll have forgotten me all together…" by they she only meant one person, but Keiichigo didn't know that.

She stood before two big pink doors and pushed one open, greeted by a bouncy ten year old.

"ICHIGO ONEE-CHAN! YOU ARE HOME! What's that, na no da? A baby cousin? Sister?"

Just as Pudding asked all this Ryou came down the stairs his eyes widened at the sight and he stepped slowly towards her when Keiichigo spoke out a word he'd never thought to hear.

"Dada!"
