Kishigo: Hiya ^.^ I'm glad people like my story, I shall continue. SORRY this is kinda late, but I will try harder!~ Now I shall thank the reviewers~

Dear Mika Ikisatashi: Thank you for being the first reviewer on this story. I take every review personally and it inspires me to write more! Thank you!

Dear Wandering Pika: Thank you for the advice :) I know, some of the conversations they had been a little out of character. I will try harder! Thank you so much for your response! Don't be sorry, I need constructive criticism too~ ^.^

Dear Matress Tessa: I HOPE you're in a better mood now lawl jkjk. Here's the next chappie~ :D KISSHU! DO THE DISCLAIMAH :D

Kisshu: W-Wha? Ohh... Wow Kishigo, in all your laziness, you couldn't even come up with a good disclaimer, I don't understand how on earth you could possibly own Tokyo Mew Mew. Which you don't.

Kishigo: =/ Well... It's half true... *sighs* Here's the next chapter...

The young woman bustled down the street, late. Again. What would she say? Her alarm didn't go off, but that wasn't the best excuse for missing her first day in an unfamiliar country. She soon found herself lost too, Tokyo was so… Big! She continued around the block, thankfully a pink building had come into sight. How would she confront them? Sure it was true that her alarm clock had been turned off in the middle of the night, but that still wasn't a very good excuse for being late! She sighed

I guess it must run in the family...

She burst through the doors breathing heavily, she made it. Everyone in the Cafe turned to see who had just bustled through their doors. When the saw the heaving figure, they all smiled. She looked up just in time to see people surround her. Suddenly, her panting breaths were pushed back into her chest as she was given a lung squishing bear hug.

"Haidi!" Ichigo gasped, she cheerfully grinned as everyone joined in, reciting their names in order.

"Hello, I'm Zakuro, it's nice to meet you." Zakuro politely introduced herself, Haidi smiled. Pudding leaped from table to table as if they were trees. She landed in a perfect bow and loudly introduced herself.

"I'm Pudding na no da~" Haidi sweat dropped and turned to come face to face with Mint

"I'm Minto, but you can call me Miss Aizawa." She finished rudely with a signature smirk "Last name is for the lower class." Haidi pinched her mouth and stuck out her tongue

"Then you can call me Miss Momiya." Mint just shot a glare but was interrupted by Lettuce

"Umm… I'm Lettuce, it's nice to meet you… Sorry for not introducing myself sooner…" Lettuce shyly rubbed the back of her head. "Gomenasai!" Haidi waved her hands

"N-No It's quite alright! I shouldn't have been late." Ichigo snorted

"Late? I got here thirty seconds before you! You weren't late!" Haidi felt her face heat up and replied

"I-I'm not?" Pudding jumped down from the ceiling onto a ball, scaring Haidi out of her wits

"NOPE! NA NO-" Haidi interrupted her, yelled in anger

"YOU SCARED ME! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU DOING? JUMPING AROUND FROM THE RAFTERS, YOU COULD GET SERIOUSLY HURT. I COULD GET SERIOUSLY HURT!" The energy in the room changed, Pudding was just about to say something, when Keichiiro was luckily there to save the day again.

"Um, Miss, would you like some samples of cake?" Haidi's face quickly changed from anger to shear happiness, infatuated by the ponytailed man, just like how every other female customer- except the mews- was. She followed him into the kitchen while the Mews discussed their new acquaintance.

"So that's your twin sister huh? I don't think I like her…" Mint said, sticking her nose up high. Zakuro stepped in and gave her opinion

"I think she's a very nice girl, she would make a good team mate." She stared, slightly directing the comment towards Mint. Ichigo sweat-dropped and quickly stated

"Hey, she's not becoming a Mew- she can't become a teammate! She doesn't even live here!" Everyone exchanged glances and Lettuce spoke up

"Speaking of which, where does she live?" Ichigo sighed and started telling the details

"Haidi live in Southern Japan- In Onagawa, she moved there when we were young, I stayed here… You get where I'm going with this right? We haven't seen each other for… five years? Six? I don't know, but we have a strong history that might be hard to overcome." She sighed "Did I say too much? Don't base it off of what I said, she's really nice…" Ichigo didn't know what to say, Pudding came forward and hugged her.

"It's ok Onee-chan! We will give her a chance, just like how you gave me a chance!" Ichigo smiled, it was fun to recall that memory- wait, it wasn't the time for that! Masha flew into the room, panicked. Everyone knew what he came to say.

"Alien!" Haidi came out through the kitchen, staring wide-eyed at the floating heart-shaped object. Ichigo snatched Masha out of the air

"It's a balloon!" Ryou rolled his eyes as he came up and injected Haidi with some sleeping potion, everyone stared

"You guys don't want her to see you transform, do you?" They sighed, he was right. It was like the time Aoyama was at the café and the aliens appeared- God they are so persistent. They summoned their pendants in unison

"Mew Mew Zakuro"

"Mew Mew Minto"

"Mew Mew Pudding"

"Mew Mew Lettuce"

"Mew Mew Strawberry"

"METAMORPHOSIS!" Once they had transformed, they bolted down the street to the destination of their next mission. Ichigo was really hoping it wouldn't be that long, she didn't know how long the sleeping potion would last. She really hoped Kisshu wasn't there. They broke near the stream, taking different paths to the park where the aliens awaited them. The trees flew by as Ichigos cat instincts took hold and her clawed feet pawed the undergrowth, picking up speed with every stride. She reached the clearing first, to come face to face with a certain green haired foreigner. He smirked and snickered,

"Whats'up kitten? Wanna play with some yarn?" He floated out of the way to reveal a Chimera Animal. It was an octopus with tentacles that looked like thin pieces of rope, but were as strong as steel, it struck a nearby tree, destroying it completely. Ichigo flinched. Kisshu noticed this and with a gleam in his eye, flew down and kissed here lightly on the lips. She smacked him away like a bug and yelled utterly disgusted.

"Stop that! You creep, go away and never come back!" He laughed, crossing his legs in mid-flight and smirked

"Make me." Ichigo growled and snatched her heart bell out of the air. Holding it in front of her, she prepared to attack.

"Ribbon Strawberry…" Ichigo became hypnotized by the string that was hanging aimlessly off the Chimera Animal. Her cat instincts took hold of her and she latched onto one of the dangling pieces of string, only to come into contact with another string. She hissed and was about to stack once again when the rest of the Mews arrived. Mint called her attack before Kisshu could even acknowledge their presence. He narrowly dodged it and scowled

"Chimera! Attack!-"He was interrupted by Zakuros spear; he reached up to find that the attack scraped his ear. He flinched at the touch and lightly retreated back, clutching his ear. The chimera Animal was about to attack Lettuce who was the last to appear on the battle field. She was surprised when it and the Chimera animal itself were engulfed in Puddings attack. Kisshu stumbled, taken aback by the teamwork. They all nodded at Ichigo who proceeded to attack once again. She shot Kisshu a glare and yelled

"Ribbon Strawberry Surprise!" The attack, though aimed at the Chimera, hit Kisshus side as well as completely destroying the creation made by the infuser. Kisshu was smothered in the dust that arose when the impact was made, hiding him from the victorious Mews who were congratulating Ichigo. Through his pain and loss of dignity, he smiled and made eye contact with Ichigo

"Catch you later, Kitten." Ichigo noticed something in his eye, but before she could identify it, he had vanished.

Was that… A tear?

She was interrupted by Pudding who was happy about their victory as was everyone else

"Good Job Onee-Chan na no da!~" The rest of the Mews nodded in agreement. They headed back to the café just in time- Haidi was waking up. She blinked and looked around

"Hey Haidi!" Ichigo greeted casually. Haidi sweat dropped and stood up abruptly

"Oh shoot! Did I fall asleep? I'm sorry!" They all chuckled and Lettuce replied simply

"It's ok, no need to be sorry!" Haidi continued to apologize; the Mews were amused with her blindness. Ichigo on the other hand, was in thought of the earlier battle. She was sure of her observation

It was… It was a tear! Why was he crying?

She groaned while a thought popped in Haidis head

"Hey! We I still need to go see mom and dad! I haven't seen them in forever!" Ichigo nodded and happily got to her feet and led her sister out of the café. They arrived at the Momiya resident minutes later. Haidis eyes sparkled in awe while her hands nervously rattled the door handle. When they entered, Haidi was immediately embraced by Sakura; they quickly recognized each other and Haidi cried out in joy

"Mom!" They welcomed each other and Ichigo's dad joined in the reunion and they all had a family hug. Sakura ushered her to the dining room so they could sit down and discuss Haidis visit. After sharing the stories and catching up on the years they had been parted, Ichigo showed Haidi her old room which hadn't been touched since she had left. The pink walls were worn and the pink lined bed and bed sheets were small, but Haidi was just happy to be finally home. They got ready for bed and got ready to sleep. But there was one more problem. When everyone was asleep, the house became quiet. Haidi gripped her sheets tighter until her knuckles turned white. She was scared to death of

"Monsters." She whispered to herself. She knew it was wimpy to be her age and still frightened of mythical things like that, but she couldn't help herself. Her scared eyes darted around the dark room anxiously, checking for any abnormal night. Of course, there never was anything, but her motto was you could never be too careful. Just as she had settled into the tight bed of white and pale pink sheets, she blankly stared out the window. She focussed on a tree that stood directly across her gaze. Of course, it didn't mean anything, she was just checking like all other nights to make sure nothing was there. But, unlike all other nights, there was more than just a tree out there. There was a being.

Kishigo: I hope you like it, if you do, R&R. If you don't, review anyway and tell me what's wrong with it ;p. The reason I didn't add much detail to the talk with Ichigos parents is because I want to do that later in the story. and please note I wrote this at midnight =\. Also, sorry guys, but for now this will be put on hold. I AM NOT DITCHING THIS, JUST LIKE HOW I AM NOT DICHING MY OTHER STORY! I LURRRRRVVEE THIS STORY :D And I know a lot of people who do too. I just went to a FanFiction convention and they said that to raise my popularity, I should make one-shots before making multi-chapter stories (Too late…) And I figure that I might as well give it a shot. :) I love you guys! Please review! I hope I might be back soon! I just want to give some of this advice a chance ;) If I'm not back within a month and a half or so, I will right an Author note telling you advice ;3 Also, I will be posting One-Shots that you might want to look into!
