Chapter 1

How to Prank Ryou Shirogane

The storm had continued on for the short time they had been devilishly scheming. It showed no signs in letting up anytime soon meaning Ryou and Keiichiro would be kept inside the café. Perfect.

It was almost ready. All that was needed was to set everything up - after gathering the required items first. But they had to avoid being spotted at all costs, or else Ryou would be onto them. He was a genius after all.

"Ok," Ichigo began. "All we need is for someone or two to fetch the objects to pull this off. Any volunteers?"

She clasped her hands over her chest and glanced eagerly amongst her four friends. They all stared back at her, not one of them daring to raise their hand. Ichigo frowned, if they weren't going to be cooperative then she would just have to do this the hard way.

"Well Purin and I have thought up the basic plan and Zakuro helped make it fit together so that just leaves Minto and Retasu…." she explained facing the two girls leftover as she did so. She had a glint in her eye which gave Retasu the uneasy knotted-gut feeling. She bit down on her lip, chewing it nervously as she considered the idea thoroughly. She could either opt out and get very bored indeed or she could go along with it, get into loads of trouble with Shirogane but end up having equally as much fun.

Deciding that the idea of fun was more tempting she gingerly raised her hand. The beam on Ichigo's face was enough to show Retasu that she had made the right choice.

Minto rolled her eyes and sighed. "Why are you volunteering, Retasu?"

The green-haired girl blushed as she answered, "It would be boring not to….I, er, mean that it would be fun, and it is only gathering the things."

Minto sighed again. "I guess you're right. I'll go with you. No-one could possibly carry all of that stuff on their own anyway."

Ichigo punched her fist in the air enthusiastically. "Let's get started!!"

"Why did we volunteer for this again?" Minto groaned as she carried the bucket and giant can of syrup.

"It's not that bad, at least we're halfway done already," Retasu reasoned as she held the kingsize bag of M&M's.

"Yeah, well you're not the one lifting the heavy stuff," Minto complained.

They trooped through the hallways and had almost reached the staircase when they heard footsteps coming up from the basement. Retasu's eyes widened as she realized that they were going to be caught while Minto just froze on the spot.

The footsteps got louder as the person got to the top of the stairs. The door that lead down to the lab clicked open and someone came through the door….

"What's taking them so long?" Ichigo asked as she paced the floor of the living room.

Zakuro just watched her, beginning to feel as if she was watching a tennis match.

Purin jumped up and down anxiously. Ichigo was right, all Minto and Retasu had to do was pick up a couple of things, come back and go out again to fetch the rest. And they had already been fifteen minutes…….

Ryou stepped out from behind the door, closing it behind him. At first he didn't see the two girls in front of him, staring fearfully, and started to walk towards them. Looking up though, he finally noticed them. He stopped and raised an eye-brow questioningly. Then his expression turned to one of surprise when he saw what they held.

Shaking her head, Minto stuttered, "Th-this isn't what it looks like!"

"Oh, and what exactly are you intending it looks like?" he asked, placing his hands on his hips.

The girls paled slightly, though it was not noticeable. They were sure to have been caught now. Retasu clutched the bag of M&M's closer to her body and Minto's grip on the bucket tightened.

"And what exactly are you doing with a giant packet of M&M's and one of the buckets used for washing the car?" he pressed on.

Confusion took over Minto. Why hadn't he mentioned the can of syrup? Hadn't he seen it? Studying his face carefully, Minto came to the conclusion that he hadn't. Relief spread over her and quickly she began to thing of an excuse.

"We were hungry so we found the M&M's," she lied.

"And the bucket?" Ryou asked, gesturing to the bright orange object that the small girl grasped.

"Er…we needed something to put the sweets in," she carried on.

He scrunched his face up questioningly but before he could say anymore, Minto quickly added, "The girls will be getting very hungry so we had best go." And with that, the two of them scurried off and up the stairs, Minto making sure that he didn't set eyes on the syrup as she passed him.

Shaking his head, Ryou thought, They're up to something. Probably a dare because I don't think I've ever seen Minto eat M&M's out of choice.

Poor Ryou, he had no idea how wrong he was.

Bursting through the room, Retasu let out the breath she had been holding. That was a close call, she thought, plonking herself onto the floor.

No sooner had she sat down then Ichigo was yelling, "Where were you?!"

"Almost caught by Shirogane-san," Minto replied coolly.

"WHAT?" the cat-girl screeched.

"Ichigo-onee-chan, Shirogane-san will hear you if you're that loud," Purin warned.

"It's ok," Retasu assured her calmly. "Minto made up a story to put him off our trail. He still has no clue."

Ichigo nodded. She turned to the elder girl who sat silently in the corner.

"Zakuro-chan, you wouldn't mind fetching the floor wax would you?"

Muttering an almost inaudible no she stood and left the room.

This time, the red-head faced the youngest Mew, asking her to get the balloons.

As Purin left she turned back around to the other Mews and started to set up the basics of the prank.

It was finally ready. All that was requied was the bait.

After talking for only a couple minutes, the five of them decided it would be less suspicios if Purin set the prank into motion. Why would Shirogane suspect Purin of setting a trap? The answer was he wouldn't.

Everything had been set into place and the young girl waited excitedly for the signal.

Zakuro coughed from the older girls' hiding place. That was it.

Grinning, Purin set off to fetch the victim. Jumping the stairs two at a time down to the basement she happily called out, "Shirogane-san!"

The boy appeared at the bottom of the stairs before she could.

"Yes, Purin?"

"I need your help in the kitchen."

"Why?" he asked curiously.

"I can't reach the higher cupboards," she explained.

"Ok, I'm coming," he said and started to follow her up the stairs.

When they reached the door, Purin was careful to allow Ryou to go first through the door. And as soon as he did….

The door opened wide enough, causing the bucket filled to the top with syrup to fall, covering him in the sugary stuff. Not being able to open his eyes for the fear of getting the golden goo in them he took a step forward. That proved to be his big mistake. The girls had made sure the floor was waxed so it was ultra-slippy, and as Ryou put his foot down he was off, skidding across the floor. Struggling to regain his balance he wiped his eyes free from the syrup and forced them open - just in time to see the balloon covered wall he was about to collide with. And sure enough, seconds later there was a deafening BANG as his body smacked into it. The balloons burst and he was covered in millions of tiny spherical objects. He fell to the floor, landing hard on his rear-end.

He was in a daze. He finally snapped out of it when there was a bright flash in front of eyes. Ryou looked up to see a triumphant Ichigo standing above him, grinning, a camera in hand. Not too far behind her stood the rest of the Mew Mews, laughing uncontrollably. Even Zakuro was having trouble stopping her giggles.

Realization hit Ryou. Hard. Narrowing his azure orbs, he asked angrily, "Find that funny did you?"

He brought himself to his feet as Ichigo closed the gap between him. Picking an M&M off of his face she retorted, "But of course." and then put the M&M into her mouth.

"You'll pay for this, you realize?" he muttered darkly.

"Hmmm, will I?" she answered back looking smug.

"But of course," he replied, using the phrase she had just before. He smirked slyly, leaving the room to go shower.

"He tries anything," Ichigo said to her friends after she was sure he was long gone, "we have the blackmail to get him back." Waving the camera about, she strutted out of the room. A couple of moments later, three of the girls followed.

Zakuro held back for a couple of seconds to utter under her breath, "Shirogane-san is a genius and he wants revenge. This is bound to turn into some kind of war…"

"ZAKURO-CHAN!"

Hearing the yell the grey wolf left in tow of her friends.

They're going to get it, Ryou thought to himself as he switched the water on and clambered into the shower cubicle. And maybe I'll call in some back-up, just to make things a bit more interesting…

A/N: OOOH, now what help should he get?

Next chapter will have Kish, Pai and Tart in and also a bit of revenge. I'll update as soon as I can - though that may not be for a week or so as our living room is being decorated and the computer will be unplugged, but oh well.
