OK, story will continue. You know, this is actually pretty good for my imagination. This really helps with my mind, even if it's not that creative.

Chapter Two

A Few Hours Later...

"WOW!" Nashi yelled when she tried on her cafe uniform. "This is so cute! And we can keep these?"

"You wear these when you're here." Ryou explained. "You're going to be working here from now until this fight is over."

"Fight?" Nashi tilted her head.

"I knew you'd ask." Keiichiro said. "You girls are going to be facing many obsticles as long as you remain mew mews. You are the pretectors of the planet from now on."

"What?" Ichigo said. "But why us?"

"Because you're all very special." Keichiro answered. The two girls just looked at each other then back at the two boys.

"There are four more like you so you don't have to do this all by yourselves."

"Really, that's a relief." Ichigo said.

"But wait." Nashi said raising her hand. "How can we tell who our allies are?"

"Have you noticed any strange markings on your bodies anywhere?" Ryou asked.

"I have." Nashi said and turned her wrist over to show them the mark.

"You'll know who they are it they have similar marks." He explained. Nashi looked at her watch then started to panic.

"OH MY GOD! I have to get back to school! The call back postings are probably up by now!" She ran to the back and quickly changed into her normal clothes then took off.

"So she DID audition." Ichigo said smuggly. "I thought she'd get scared and run out of the gym screaming."

As Nashi started running down the street towards the school, she wasn't paying attention to the trafic lights. she started running across the street when a giant truck was coming towards her. She turned her head and saw the truck coming. She didn't have enough time to run out of the way, then she suddenly felt her legs start reacting and she jumped into the air and easily dodged it. She landed on the other side of the street.

"How'd I do that?" She said looking at her feet. "Do my legs have minds of their own?"

"Well if they did, you'd be even better in school." She head snapped up when she heard Miroki's voice.

"You! What are you-"

"Cool it Momomiya, I came to talk to you about the call backs." She blinked one or two times. "You made the call back." She started glaring at him.

"YOU LIE! You dirty liar!" She screamed pointing at him.

"No joke." He held up a copy of the call back sheet and she thuroghly examined it.

"No lie." She said. "Wait, I'M THE LEAD!"

"Congrats." He said. But then she saw who was playing the other lead.

"And... YOU play the prince?!?!? This is a joke! I don't believe it!" She took the paper from his hands and tore it up. "No way would I even do a play with you!" She stomped off in a huff, not to the school, but home.

"Who does he think he is, thinking he could fool me like that." Once more, she wasn't looking where she was going and was zoneing everything around her out. Suddenly, a dog was standing right in front of her. "Aw! Hi there." She knelt down and started petting it's head.

"Miki, come here." The dog left Nashi and ran over to another girl. "Ah, we meet again."

"You!" She pointed to the girl.

"My name is Mint. Please allow me to apologise for my behavior before." She said almost sarcasticly.

"Not a problem. That's ancient history. I guess I was being a little jerkish myself since I was focusing too much on my project." Nashi said.

"I see." Mint said. "By the way, you're school is putting on a performance right?"

"Um, yea. But we do one every year anyways. I auditioned but I didn't see the postings yet."

"That's alright." Mint reached into a small purse she was carrying. "I have them right here." She held out a folded piece of paper.

"Thanks." She took the paper away and unfolded it. She carefully scanned the sheet but then froze. "Oh my god..."

"What?"

"Miroki wasn't lying!" She yelled. "We're in the play! I think I'm gonna be sick." She placed one hand on her forehead. "I can't believe I have to perform with HIM."

"I see, well I'm looking foreward to the performance." She said and Nashi's face turned red. "Well, I must be going." Mint waled back to her car and got in.

"Grrrr... I hate that girl!"

Later that night, their parents were out late again and Nashi ws too ticked to cook so she and Ichigo decided to order some pizza. "WHAT! You mean to say that not only did you get the part, but the guy that's been harrassing you is playing the other lead?"

"That's wthat I'm telling you Ichigo." Nashi said biting her pizza. "So, any luck finding any other mews?"

"No, nothing yet." Ichigo said. "How about you?"

"Nope." Nashi started squeezing her glass of juice.

"I can't believe they picked someone like Miroki Naragima to play the prince. He makes me so mad. I could just... just..."

"Um, Nashi." Ichigo said pointing to the top of her head. "You have tiger ears sticking out of you're head." She put one hand on her head and her face was pale.

"What's going on!?!" The phone started ringing. Ichigo stood up and answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's me."

"Ryou?"

"That's right. Anyways, Nashi left in such a rush that I never got to tell her that if she gets nervous or angry, her tiger ears will come out. Did you tell her?"

"Um, no. And she already figured it out the hard way." Nashi was already screaming her head off about having her ears pop out.

"I see. Well don't forget to report to the cafe tomorrow."

"Right." Ichigo hung up then walked back over to Nashi, who has finally calmed down.

"OK, the ears are gone." Nashi said sighing. "How did that happen?"

"Well, when you get too nervous or mad, your ears will come out."

"Really?" Nashi sighed. "Well, either way, I'm stuck in the play with Miroki. I'm going to bed." She stood up and walked upstairs.

The next morning was call back time. The director had finally made his choices and Nashi was stuck with Miroki till the end of the show. "Alright everyone, we start rehersal next monday! You're dismissed." Nashi sprinted out the door as fast as she could. She looked around to see if either Miroki or his friends were around. Nothing. She was able to make it to her next class without any problems.

"Well, nothing a little school can't fix, right?" Nashi said to herself as she sat in her chair.

"Momomiya? Why are you here? You should be in practice."

"We only had to go for the call backs. We start next Monday."

"Well, I heard that you have practice today." She sighed.

"I'll go see what this is about." Nahsi stood up and grabbed her bag then walked out the door. When she made it to the gym, she saw all the lights were off. "I knew it was a stupid-" She was suddenly pushed inside. The doors closed and locked. "Hey! What's the big idea?" The lighs then turned on and there was Miroki's friends holding dodge balls.

"You were able to avoid paintball day Momomiya," one of them started, "but you won't get away this time!" They prepares to throw the balls at her. As the balls came at her she jumped out of the way and ran for the other door. That one was locked too. She pressed herself against the doors as they approached her. "Get ready for roun two!" Suddenly, they all heard glass shatter. They turned around and saw no one there. Nashi was able to escape the door and ran to the far side of the gym.

"Don't let her get away!" One of the boys threw a ball and hit her, really hard, in the leg and threw her off balance and she fell to the floor. "Not this time." They aimed at her and she flinched. But when she expected to be hit by the dodge balls, all the balls dropped to the ground and the boys along with them. When she looked, they were writhing with pain. She looked around to see who her savoir was but there wasn't anyone around.

"What just happened?" She quickly picked up her bag and unlocked the gym doors.

For the rest of the day, she kept her eyes open for anyone that might have had something to do with the incident. She wanted to find the one who helped her but when she asked everyone, they all said that they weren't at the gym neither did they see anything suspicious. She started to feel funny inside.

"Was that just a pigment of my imagination?"

"Nashi!" She turned her head and Miroki was running after her. "Hey, I was hoping we could start practicing?"

"Thanks but no thanks." Nashi said. "I said I'd do the play but I'm not practicing with you alone, especially then your friends tried to attack me earlier."

"They did?" He was surprised that they'd do that without his permittion.

"I'm leaving now." He just stared in silence as she walked away. "I swear, can today go any worse?" Her pendant started glowing. "Wha? What's this?"

"Nashi! Can you hear me?" Nashi turned her head.

"Ryou? Where are you?"

"I'm at the cafe. Listen, Ichigo's in trouble! Get moving!"

"Oh man." She started running down the street and watched out for any suspicious activity. When she came to a large mansion, she could hear screams and shadows. "This must be the place."

"MEW MEW PEAR! METAMORPHO-SIS!"

She burst through the doors and fund Ichigo pinned against the wall. "Oh no you don't!" Her guns appeared in her hands. "RIBBON PEAR DOUBLE SHOT!" She shot her guns and the shots merged and created a giant flash of light and stunned the kimera anima. "Sorry I'm late Ichigo."

"You didn't hurt my Miki did you?" Mint asked.

"No, he's temporarily stunned." Ichigo ran over to Nashi and prepared her strawberry bell.

"RIBBON STRAWBERRY-" but the monster wasn't stunned anymore and knocked Ichigo and Nashi against the wall.

"Why would Miki do this?" Mint asked.

"H-he's not y-you're dog anymore." Nashi explained.

"NO!" Mint started glowing.

"Ichigo, look!"

"What's happening to me?" The little pink ball flew over to Mint and a pendant came out of it's mouth.

"The next mew mew?" Nashi asked.

"I guess so." Ichigo asked. "Oh, I also gave R2000 a new name. His name is Masha."

"MEW MEW MINT! METAMORPHO-SIS!"

Mint became her mew mew self. "Mint Arrow!"

"Get ready Ichigo."

"RIBBON MINT ECHO!" The attack was powerful enough to knock over the kimera anima. "Now!"

"RIBBON STRAWBERRY CHECK!" With that last attack, the dog was normal again and Masha ate up the parasite alien.

"Yay! Another kimera anima defeated. And we found another member." Nashi ran over to Mint and hugged her. "I'm so happy!"

"Can you get off me?" Mint said sounding annoyed.

"Sorry." Nashi let go. "I'm just really happy is all. Especially after the day I've had."

"What happened?" Ichigo asked.

"Well, after call-backs, I was attacked by those guys again, only this time it was dodge balls."

"What would it usually be?" Mint asked.

"Paintballs." Nashi answered.

"Oh." Mint was stunned.

"But something happened. Someone came in and saved me, but I didn't see who. Who ever they are, I have to find them and repay them." They all transformed back. "I'm in their debt."

"Nashi, where's your ribbon?" Ichigo asked. Nashi reached at her pony tail and found her ribbon was missing.

"Where is it? I must have lost it when I was attacked!" She started flipping out.

"Well, we'll look for it tomorrow. We have to go home." Ichigo said.

---- ---- ---- ----

Late that night, Nashi just sat in her bed and stared at the ceiling. "Who helped me?" What she didn't know was there was someone outside her window. There was a mysterious figure sitting on a branch in the tree right by her window.

"She's in my debt huh?"


And there you go. SUSPENSE! I hate it too, but everyone has to deal with it. Like me, I just finished this book I had to read for english and the ending still left me with questions! Anyways, I was kind of sloppy with this chapter since my brain is kind of fried right now, so please don't flame. Bye bye!
