Me: Hello, and welcome back to my story.

Mint: We know that it is your story. Jeez.

Lettuce: Let her continue. I like this story.

Mint: You are just saying that cause you like reading.

Lettuce: No. I loved this story. It is so good. Sorry.

Me: That is okay. Now on to Chapter 2 summary.

SuMmArY

It is about Keiichiro telling Ichigo about Ryou's past. What will Ichigo's feel?

DiScLaImEr

AGAIN, I DO NOT OWN Tokyo Mew Mew. IF I DID, MASAYA WOULD HAVE HIS HEAD RIGHT NOW. Whoops, sorry. SO DON'T SUE ME.

Chapter #2: Ryou's past and Ichigo's reaction

It all ended with:

"Ichigo-san? Ichigo-san?"said Keiichiro.

Now lets us see the real truth.

"Is Ryou the reason your smile is all clouded?" said Keiichiro already knew what was wrong.

"I heard you saw him…"

Ichigo nodded.

"I'm sorry for hiding the truth from you all this time. Ryou wouldn't let me tell you. But please understand this. It's his style to stay quiet and not let you all get worried."

"I sorta understand, but…"

(a.n Now to the past of Ryou Shirogane)

"It happened five years ago. Back then, I was working in America…as an assistant to Dr. Shirogane, Ryou's father. He was a famous archeologist… but after he found an certain ruin… he secretly started researching to to unravel the technology of the unidentified species."

"I see. Ryou mentioned that…"said Ryou's father.

"Yes. He was reading your research log eagerly when he said he followed in your footsteps and become a scientist." said Keiichiro.

"Unlike me, he is a true genius with an IQ of over 160. He could do anything he put his mind to."

Dr. Shirogane sipped his coffee or something. (a.n sorry. Don't know what it is again.)

"And yet, I wouldn't like him to become like me…"

"Doctor…"

"Experiments that cannot see the light of day…if we hadn't found those ruins…we didn't learn that a civilation other than human existed and created things such as a "chimera"…and we hadn't realized the danger that still can inflict on us…

AT A FOOTBALL FIELD

"Hey, Johnny" said a boy who was about to throw the ball.

"Ok!" said Johnny.

"Hey, genius boy." said a boy that was talking to little Ryou.

AT HOME

Ryou has been covered with marks from the fight with those boys.

"If you keep on coming home like this, then I'll become a real doctor." said Ryou's mama.

"What can I do? They're the ones that started it."

"Here, give me your arm."

Ryou's mama giggled a little.

"What's so funny?"

"I'm happy."

"About my happiness."

"No! I'm just really happy to have a son who gives me so many problems."

"What's that?"

"Just don't move."

"You're not going to scold me?"

"Why?"

"Because mothers who usually scold her children when they get into a fight, don't they?"

"I won't scold you."

"Why?"

"Because you aren't in the wrong, are you?"

"I have a mother who doesn't give me problems."

"Lets just say I trust you."

"Here."

"Hey, that hurts."

"It's because you moved." She touched Ryou's nose.

She giggled.

BACK IN DR.Shirogane'S LAB

"Let Ryou go into university, you say?"

"Yes that might be impossible in Japan, but isn't it natural here in America."

"I wouldn't mind, but I'm not sure he wants it himself."

"He's too intelligent and is already isolated in that school. Forcing him and continue to stay in that school might not be a good idea."

"Are parents' dreams for their children always in vain?"

"I wonder where he got his unsociable ways."

"I wouldn't know."

"Lonieless comes between being a genius, I suppose…Akasaka-kun?"

"Yes?"

"Would you become his friend?"

"That's impossible."

He winked his right eye.

"I'm already friends with him."

"I see."

They both laughed.

IN THE CAR

"If you go to university, you would find more people to talk to. You'll probably learn more technical terms, though."

"Why, Keiichiro, are helping with Dad's research?"

"Who knows why?"

"You have so much ability yourself. You should be able to get a lab of your own, don't you think?"

"My research title right now is "The Best Way to Serve Tea" and the "Scientific Analysis of Teacup Curves"."

"You're already avoiding conversations like this."

"Besides, the doctor is a very charming person."

BUMP!!!!

"What's that noise?"

"I don't know. But it looks like the sound if coming from…"

"Look! Somewhere near our house!"

"Lets hurry!"

They stopped in front of the fire, which it was their house.

"Papa… Mama…"

"It's dangerous."

"Papa! Mama!"

"Ryou, you mustn't."

"Let go! Papa and Mama are in there! Let me go! I have to help them! LET GO!!!"

"That's…"

Ryou stared at the chimera that destroyed his parents. And the chimera stared back. The chimera then flew away.

"It looks like everything burned to the ground. Everything…"

"It hasn't burned down. I will take over my father's research. (a.n. I am really sorry if I had made mistakes. My hands are so sore. Back to the story.) 'ill go to Japan and perfect my father's project…Mew project!"

"Ryou."

"I remember…I remember everything in the research log. I do remember…"

Just then, a picture of him mom and dad had appeared in the sky. He started to cry.

"So Ryou and I returned to Japan and completed the Mew project, which have been Dr.Shirogane's last wishes. It's finally done. Now we only have to use it on the girls."

"Is this really safe?"

"How can you say that, after all these tests? You are the only one that knows how to perfect this project."

Ryou picked up the gun and pointed at his neck.

"Ryou! What are you trying to…"

"Keiichiro, I entrust the rest of the research to you. This is the last experiment."

He pushed the gun.

"Ryou! You must have specific gene type to use this, or you'll just be turned into an animal. You know that, yet still… we have now completed all of our experiments. Now I will start the Mew project."

"Since then, Ryou has been changing into a cat and back. Although, if he stays into a cat for more that 10 minutes, he can never return to his human form. He became the test subject himself to verify your safety in the Mew project."

"So…he is..,always trying to protect us…is he?" said Ichigo.

"He wouldn't say anything in front of you or the others… but he'd he is always saying that he will all of protect you."

"I didn't know. I didn't know that, and I've said a lot of nasty thing to him often…"

"Don't misunderstand…I'm the one who is responsible for you getting involved. I'm just doing the right thing."

(a.n now the difference)

"but I didn't know that all that happened to you so… I feel sorry for you, Shirogane."

She felt like she was about to burst into tears.

"I'm sorry."

She ran to the door and opened it. Mint, Lettuce, and Pudding fell down. Zakuro held her balance. Mostly cause she is the tallest and she didn't have to bend over.

"I'm sorry, Ryou."

Everyone gasped. That was the first time she said his first name.

"I've got to go. Don't look for me. I'll come when I feel like it. I'm so sorry."

She ran out the door before anyone could say anything.

No one said a thing after Ichigo left.

Me: Yay! I'm done with this chapter. I have added my own 'thing' to it, so keep on reading it. And I won't tell you, so ha.

Lettuce: I will. Thank you. I love it so much.

Me: You welcome. And thank you for you guys that are reading my story. Tell me what I should do next. Maybe I will know what to do cause all of this started with a dream. Yep. I dreamt of this and now I am writing it. I will write the rest on my Summer break. Hope you read it. My hands are really tired so sorry about the mistakes if I have any.

Mint: Okay, blah blah blah, finish the story already.

Me: Fine.

Ichigo: What are you guys doing?

Me: Ahhhh!!! Nothing important. Summer stuff. Bye.

Ichigo: Okay…

Me: Third chapter coming soon… Hope you read it…
