I don't own TMM. I'm sorry if this first chapter is really short, but there wasn't much to do with it. This is one of my many fanfics. I have bazillions of ideas, and most don't work out so pray I continue…

If there's so much I must be

Can I still just be me

The way I am?

Can I trust in my own heart

Or am I just one part

Of some big plan?

Chapter One: Linitta Steps In!

Linitta sat at the table, observing the bustling of one red-head waitress. She worked so hard, yet the HYEBB (Hot Yet Evil Blond Boss that also went to Pericles Dominos Academy/PDA) refused to raise her pay. One scene she noticed was Ichigo (she heard the HYEBB mention it) when she kicked the boss in the shins and continued to scream. Linitta threw her head back a little bit, attempting to get the strands of dirty blond hair that had escaped her messy bun out of her olive colored eyes.

Bored with all of the yelling going on, she walked over to the two. "Hey Ryou, are you having trouble coping with one teen girl (who happens to already have a boyfriend, if you didn't know)? How pathetic! You're always boasting at school that you could handle twenty girls without getting injured!"

He sighed, pushing his bangs out of his face. "Linitta, why don't you mind your own business?"

"Aw, but shouldn't I get to know them? After all, I'd get to know them all soon enough since PDA and Mountain Valley High have that camping trip. So why delay the inevitable? Sheesh, the way you are acting, you would think you were specially connected to her. By the way," she said, changing the subject abruptly, giving her charming smile, "you should think about raising her wages and fire that girl drinking tea over there. Cut your losses and also pay the worthy."

Linitta walked away, humming. She felt their stares burning a hole in her back. "Also, you don't have to worry about a Chimera animal appearing. It won't be permitted. I can't wait to meet the rest of the Mews. Find some way to sneak them onto the trip." Feeling sure they wouldn't just let her leave without finding out how she knew so much, she turned, letting her African Golden Cat ears and tail pop out for a second. With amusement, she saw their shocked faces, then faced the door again and walked through quickly enough to keep them from grabbing her.

Ryou and Ichigo rushed to the door and looked out. "Do you know that girl?" asked Ichigo.

With a dazed look, Ryou replied, "I thought I did."

A/N What did he mean by that? Ears? Tail? Is she a Mew? Or something new? What is Ryou and Linitta's relationship? Will Selene be able to have enough ideas to finish this? Currently she does, but goodness knows if she will actually follow through…
