Ryou
I intented for the Mew Mew project to do good, to do justice just like my father wanted. I wanted him to be proud of me, now he would be ashamed if he saw me now, his son failed. The Mew Mews are going to die and it's all my fault. No, i musn't allow this. I created them and so, i shall protect them.
A FEW WEEKS BEFORE
CAFE MEW MEW
It was quiter than usual, rush hour was long over. All the students were all gone from the cafe as they all had somewhere to go. Except me, thought Ichigo. She had to stay here and do all the work...as usual.
The cafe became so predictable. Mint woild sit in the corner and drink her tea because it was her "special time". Lettuce was in the kitchen, washing the dishes. Good girl, good girl, thought Ichigo. Pudding going ahead showing off on a ball while carrying several plates, eveyone ignoring her, causing her to be annoyed but insisted on continuing anyway. Zakuro was too busy today to help at the cafe, off doing some shoot or promotion or whatever. Great, more work for me then, Ichigo sighed and continued to sweep the floors. She was so busy that she did not hear Ryou enter the room.
"Still working pretty hard, hai?" he said. Ichigo jumped and turned towards the corrider he was at. "Really? I hadn't noticed." she replyed. Ryou laughed and crossed his arms. "I know you are and i know why you're sarcastic and you've got a good reason. You work very hard and you are a very good leader, all the others look up to you, espically little Pudding." he said. Ichigo was surprised at this. "Really? Even Zakuro??" she asked. Ryou nodded. "She has her own portion of respect for you, hai. You're a good rolemodel some might say." he stated. Ichigo blushed. Ryou compliment her??? Hey wait a minute..
"Why you being so nice to me all of a sudden??" she said. He looked taken back, good, Ichigo thought. "Can't i say nice things every once in a while, no?" he said. Ichigo stared at him. "No." she said, coldly. Again, Ryou laughed but cut it short when he saw the angered expression on her face. "Fine, I'll cut the flattery and go straight to the point. I want you to work the early shift tommorrow." he said. What!!!, Ichigo thought. "But I can't do that shift! I have a date with Masaya!" she wailed. A rare glimse of anger spread over Ryous face. "You cant keep blowing off work for every goddamn date you organise with your lover boy. Be at work tommorrow, sharp." he declared and walked off.
Ichigo was furious. How dare he, she thought, butt into my private life! One day I'll make him work when he wants to go out and....wait, when does Ryou ever go out? She continued on that thought when Lettuce entered the room. "Kensiwa Ichigo, are you alright? You look very much like a ichigo right now." Lettuce stated. "Huh? Oh, hey Lettuce. No no, I'm fine really! Just the stress of work!" Ichigo answered. "She's just mad because Ryou won't let her see Masaya tommorrow." Mint said, at the end of the other room. Crap, I forgot she was there, Ichigo cursed. Lettuce smiled. "Don't worry, we'll help you so you can leave early and go see him. Isn't that right Mint?" she said. Mint moaned. "Yeah, whatever." was all the response they got before she walked off. "I'll help! I'll help!" shouted a small but loud person. Ichigo smiled. "Origato, Pudding." she said.
AN STRANGE WORLD COVERED WITH PILLARS RECOVERING
A tall, blue haired alien with giant ears was floating in the air. He was looking apon a emerging screen of the Cafe Mew Mew. He smiled at what he saw. In his hand that he raised, was a shining crystal. They are the ones, he thought. Their power is strong and forever growing. And soon, it'll all be mine. At last, we will have our revenge.
