TWO
The girls looked around through the moving crowd of people, looking for anything suspicious or conspicuous.
"Look!" Pudding pointed to the sky. Everyone looked up and a young girl seemed to be gliding through the sky…
Ryo sat down at his desk and picked up the picture he had laid down earlier. He looked at it endearingly. He placed it back in his drawer and sat there in his chair, motionless. He seemed to be deep in thought, lost in his daydreams. The sunshine poured down in from his window onto his wooden floor. You could she the typhoon of dust swarming around the room. Ryo looked out of the window and at the park. Some kids were seen playing and people walking their pets, and laughing… everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Ryo envied them. He clenched his fists at the sight. He felt unworthy to be happy…FLASHBACK
Outside was beginning to get dark, and Ryo and Ichigo were about a mile away from her house. "I can walk the rest of the way." Ichigo released herself from Ryo's hold.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah…" Ichigo couldn't look up at Ryo. She felt almost like she was too ashamed to. They soon became with a couple feet of Ichigo's front yard. She turned to Ryo and bowed her head down.
"Arigato, Shirogane-san." It began to rain as Ichigo turned around and headed to her door. "Ichigo…" Ryo grabbed Ichigo by the arm. Ichigo turned and looked at Ryo with shock. He smiled and pulled her close to him.
"Shirogane…san?" Ryo kissed Ichigo. His arms were held tight around her back. At first Ichigo was limp and uncomfortable, then she began to feel his warmth. She closed her eyes and kissed him back…
END OF FLASHBACKHe looked back at the window and smiled a little at everyone enjoying him or herself on such a beautiful day.
"Tomorrow…" he whispered, "Tomorrow it's your anniversary… The anniversary of that day…" a small tear streamed down the side of his face. He quickly wiped it away, "this time… I'll bring your flowers…"
"Konnichiwa!" the girl swooped over the mew mews heads. She had blonde hair; a yellow dress… and a red looking staff with her, and… are those bunny ears?
"Do you think that's her?" Mint watched as she amazed everyone.
"Pretty sure." Zakuro confirmed, "Call Keiichirou, Lettuce…"
"MEW MEW ZAKURO! METAMORPHOSIS!"
"MEW MEW MINT! METAMORPHOSIS!"
"MEW MEW PUDDING! METAMORPHOSIS!"
"Keiichirou! Come in!"
"Yes, Lettuce?"
"I think we found her."
"Great!"
"MEW MEW LETTUCE! METAMORPHOSIS!" The mew mews landed on the ground as everyone watched them. The blonde-haired girl stared at them.
"You're stealing my audience!" she yelled almost in a happy sort of voice, "RIBBON… LOVE BERRY… CHECK!" Power came streaming down towards the mew mews. They all scattered, missing her attack.
"Matte!" Pudding tried reasoning; "We're just here to talk to you!" the girl smiled at Pudding.
"Li desu yo. Let's talk over here." The girl flew by Pudding and picked her up, carrying her into an old building. The other mews followed. The girl put Pudding down and smiled at her.
"So, what do you want? And how can you transform… like me?" she tilted her head.
"Well…" Pudding stood up, "I'm…" she posed, "a mew mew!"
"A 'mew mew'?" The girl looked at her. The others came in prepared to attack. They realized they were just talking and walked over to them.
"So who are you?" Zakuro asked the girl.
"My name is… Shirayuki Berri!" she smiled, putting her finger and her thumb in the shape of an 'L' on her forehead, "now who are you?"
"I'm-." Mint was about to answer her question when Berri interrupted.
"Wait!" she let out a gasp, "You're Ms. Fujiwara Zakuro!" she screamed, "I'm such a fan!" through her jumping around she tripped on an old nail, "AH! I'm gonna fall, ah!" she fell to the ground, "Oh… Itai…" she quickly picked herself back up. Her face turned red.
"This is supposed to be her?" Mint complained.
"Well, you know it reminds me of our old friend…" Lettuce spoke up. The others grew quiet after that comment.
"Berri…" Zakuro walked over beside her, "we are the mew mews. We save the earth from aliens. You are the next chosen one… You are to join us…"
"Really? Great!" Berri smiled. While they were talking, Pudding was staring a hole through her, "Nani?" Berri looked at her.
"Where's her mark?" Pudding asked the others.
"Mark? What the heck is a mark?"
"You don't have a mark?" Mint asked.
"No, not that I… know of…"
"Like this." Pudding pointed to her forehead.
"Uh-uh…" Berri said.
"That's strange…" Zakuro sighed.
Ryo had sat in his room the whole time the mew mews had been gone. He couldn't help but to stay there. He didn't feel like talking to anyone else…
"Ichigo…" he whispered to himself.
"Akasaka-san!" Lettuce called from downstairs. Ryo was curious and headed out of his room. As he walked downstairs he was face to face with the mew mews and Keiichirou… as well as someone else…
"Who is she?" Ryo ask rudely.
"Ryo…" Keiichirou began, "this is, Berri, or Ms. Shirayuki." Ryo glared at the sight of her.
"Get her out of here…" he stated then began to walk away.
"Ryo." Zakuro called. Suddenly, guilt overwhelmed his body, and his just continued to walk back to his room.
"Who was that?" Berri asked.
"That's just Shirogane-san. He can be mean sometimes, but he's also really nice when you get to know him!" Pudding smiled.
"Oh, okay." Berri smiled, "Okay Ucha!" she threw her staff up in the air, and it transformed into a little fur ball, similar to Masha. Everyone looked at it weird, "By the way," Berri began, "My father doesn't know I'm here, and my home is so far from here so… I need a place to stay…" she fiddled with her thumbs, waiting for an answer.
"You're welcome to stay here." Keiichirou smiled. Berri smiled back with a simple, "Arigatou!"
"Shirayuki Berri…" Ryo stared at the floor with an angry look on his face, "she will never replace her… She won't help us either… She'll just get in the way. We were doing fine without her…" Ryo crossed his arms. He looked over at his clock. It said '8:00'.
"At midnight… Tonight… Begins the day of the anniversary… of…" Ryo opened his drawer once more pulling out the picture he had earlier. It was a picture of Ichigo, "… of your death…"
