Howdy there, well i decided for a new mew mew fic because i thought it was cute series--the manga at least--and i love ryou which guess what? means it's a ryou and ichigo fic. Basically their a couple years older, more drama, love life, swears etc so that's why it's rated teen for a reason. Not bad...but yeah...anyways hope you like the chapter and let me see how it goes. Reveiws are definatley welcome
CHAPTER 1.
Ichigo yawned and blinked her eyes sleepily as she pulled on her cafe mew mew uniform. Without even glancing in the mirror, to tired to perfect her physical appearance, she grabbed a cherry red brush and carelessly brushed her hair.
"Damn Ryou" She muttered. "Why the hell is he making me get up so early, who comes to a cafe at 6:00 in the morning?"
She buckled on her shoes, and stood up with a stretch.
She had grown over the summer, reaching her highschool years and turning sixteen had made her so that she was barely an inch shorter then ryou himself.
She grinned, her growth had definately pissed him off, not that she minded.
Half-way through summer with no money and barely an allowance working at cafe mew mew was the only way she could get any wages...even though the wages were Minimum.
"Git"
She had known Ryou for five years and getting along was still as diffiucult as then. Not that she really minded--she liked his tease--and her way of driving him insane--driving each other insane and sometimes going into laughing fits of hysteria. They had gone through so much together, fighting the aliens along with her friends, Maysia dumping on her last year...
Ryou had been so caring then...so proctetive...her heart thudded...not like the jerk he is now!
Basically, Ichigo zipped her bag and swung it over her shoulder, they were like brother and sister--arguing brother and sister.
She crept out of the house trying not to make any noise and wake her parents and then finally bounded into the street.
Ichigo hadn't changed much since she was younger, besides some mild profanity, she was still as clumsy and "graceful" as she was then.
The wind whipped back her strawberry colored hair and against her large eyes refreshing and awakening her more then her shower had. The sky was still rather dark, the sun just rising as she trotted for work.
The neighborhood was silent--the only time it ever was--the dustbins rattling in the breeze.
Ichigo still didn't have money for a car and unlike Mint she preferred to walk.
She smiled slightly and nodded her head as she thought about the conversation she had with her mother yesterday:
"Hi mom" Ichigo dropped onto the couch still in uniform and sighed happily.A fistful of money was in her hand from payday.
"Ryou's working you hard as usual i see" Her mother commented sitting across from her.
"Yeah--that shriogane--miserable--arrghh--i don't want to think about him mom anyway, ichigo waved her fist in the air, my hard work paid off"
"Good job, her mother smiled, working hard is good for you"
"hey what's that supposed to mean! anyway, shriogane wants us to get to work earlier now, i have to be their by 7:00 or according to him i'm fired"
"but that's to early! and you don't have a car! what if some thug got you--no one's in the street that early! and i can't drop you i have work..." Her mother went into super-panic mode and ichigo raised her hands stopping her.
"Hold on mom, i'll be fine! i don't mind walking and i don't think any thug is hanging around are neighborhood, ichigo sighed in reassurance, and if there is i'll run fast kay?"
Of course she had told herself she would do no such thing, she could still turn into the feline cat and though their hadn't been any danger or aliens and she was a little bit out of practice she was sure she could whip an ordinary human butt into shape--it was the alien's ones she would be worried about.
"Of course..., ichigo said suggestivly, if you lent me your car...?"
"ha, not a chance! and let you break it up?" Her mother said jokinly and yet seriously. She patted her daughter's hair.
And with a playful voice ichigo replied" Mom your messing up my hair" she swatted her hand playfully.
"trying to look good for shriogane?"
"don't even joke about that. eww, gross"
The laughter faded as ichigo drew back into the present.
Suddenly thunder crackled omniously in the sky, the sun still barely risen flashing red like blood.
Ichigo shivered, her insticts sharp and worried...which was never a good thing because they were usually right...
She stopped still on the empty sidewalk, refusing to be scared and scamper away. Her eyes darted and flashing to slits and back again.
what was happening?
Her body was tense...after all these days...would this one be different? would this one be trouble?
A hand roughly and suddenly grabbed her shoulder and she turned around with a gasp.
Her stance uncoiled. Her instincts took over.
well there you go..hm..i suppose a cliff hanger hope you like
