A/N: I would of posted this earlier, but just as I was about to post it, fanfiction (as a good portion of us kow) was having technical difficulties, which was driving me insane! I apologize for not updating in, like, forever! -.- I've just been so busy lately, and confused. Normally I have a rough draft for my stories, but I don't for this one. I don't really have an excuse besides the fact that someone has been stalking me and I have been living my life in paranoia for the past few weeks. Dang, I always blabber on and on and waste your time, I should just let you get on to the story now shouldn't I? Now also, I needed a villain in this, it was either going to be Keiichiro or Ryou… Keiichiro is way too nice to be a villain, so Ryou is the bad guy. (Sorry Ryou fans! But on the bright side, its only for a little while!)

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Tokyo Mew Mew… I may want to, but I don't, it's just a fact of life, like the fact that oranges are orange!

As sunlight shown through the blinds, Pudding's eyes fluttered open. At first she had to squint, waiting for her eyes to adjust to the sudden change in light. She yawned and sat up, pushing the soft blankets off of her as she flung her legs over the side of her bed, stretching her arms as well. After a moment, she stood up, slipped on her monkey shaped slippers and slowly trudged over to her closet. Pulling open the closet door, she grabbed her banana-yellow robe and flung it over her pajamas, to lazy to tie it.

"Taru-Taru…" She whispered before running down the stair, almost tripping over her own feet. "Mornin' NaNoDa!" She squealed. Her younger siblings had taken the job of making breakfast this morning, seeing how much Pudding did for them all ready.

"Here ya go 'nee-chan" Heicha grinned setting a plate on the table, slightly burnt scrambled eggs and very oddly shaped pancakes on it. Pudding smiled, it was the thought that counted. As she began to eat, she thought back over last night.

"Taru-Taru NaNoDa!" Pudding was still hugging the life out of him.

"For the last time… GET OFF OF ME!" Taruto yelled, trying to push her away, but failed miserably.

"I missed you Taru-Taru…" Pudding muttered.

Taruto felt slightly ashamed, she clearly missed him, she even said so, and he was being a jerk. "I was only gone for about… what? A month or so?"

"It felt like years to Pudding NaNoDa…" Pudding gave him a huge grin, tugging on his arm.

"Uh…" Taruto felt like he was in an awkward position. "Well, I should probably be going now… Kisshu and Pai are probably wondering where I am so…" He then realized that he needed another excuse, to make it seem like he didn't have feelings for the monkey, which he wasn't too sure of himself. "I also don't want to be near you, monkey-girl! I might catch your stupid…"

Pudding didn't seem to notice his minor insult, in fact, it seemed as though the grin on her face widened. "Okay Taru-Taru NaNoDa." The smile on her face disappeared, tears lining the corners of her eyes, she looked up to him, chocking on her words. "Y-You'll be back, right?"

The pain of guilt shot through Taruto, now realizing just how much he could hurt her, without doing anything, and how her pain hurt him as well. "Yeah… I'll be back… later tomorrow okay?"

"Kay-Kay Taru-Taru NaNoDa!" Pudding cheered, a smile plastered on her face once more.

"Bye NaNoDa!" Pudding waved, heading out the door. "Pudding'll be back later NaNoDa!"

Pudding inhaled the sweet scent of flowers as she began to slowly make her way down the street, asphalt crackling beneath her shoes. As she made her way into the park, she began to stare at the sky, watching the clouds float by. "Pudding can't wait to see Taru-Taru NaNoDa…" Moments later, due to the fact that she was staring at the sky, not where she was walking, she smashed into a tree. She began to tumble down the small hill she was at, coming to a halt at the bottom. Still lying on the ground, she began to laugh uncontrollably at what she did. 'Stupid monkey girl… smashing into trees… You can't eat trees stupid!' She could imagine Taruto telling her that, causing her to laugh even louder. She even imagined how she would respond. 'But trees taste good NaNoDa! Taru-Taru should try it NaNoDa!' She could clearly see herself pushing Taruto into a tree, listening to him curse as he would fall to the floor.

A/N: Sorry about the short pointless chapter, but the next chapter is when the story begins to unfold. I will try to update as soon as possible and not leave you on this huge wait like last time M'Kay?

'Till next time…

SEE YA!
