Chapter 4

"The assignment will be due a week from today at lunch, dismissed." The teacher said and I quickly made my way out of the classroom. Only a few more classes to go before I have to pick up Heicha and the others from school, I then have to go to the grocery store and get some food, I also need to make sure that my room is furnished with two futon's one for Berry-chan and another for Ringo-chan. I thought to myself as I walked down the halls of the same school Ichigo attended.

"Purin-nee-chan, I'm going to be a little late to the sleep over. I have a club meeting to get to and we are probably going to be a while." Ringo-chan commented as we ate our lunch in the court yard of the school.

"That's fine." I replied with a smile before I went about eating my meal. Later that day, I passed the restaurant that we were going to meet up at in a week and saw Masaya with a brunette that I recognized.

"So, than we'll meet the others here on Tuesday of next week." I heard the brunette state.

"Yeah, Ryou has something he wants to talk to us about." I could hear Masaya comment. What could Ryou want with Ichigo's old friend who had a thing for Akasaka and Masaya? I wondered as I listened to them leave. That trip to Tokyo Den is going to be really interesting. I thought as I made my way to the grocery store and back to my house just as Berry-chan was arriving.

"Hey, what's up?" Berry-chan asked as we walked past the front gate where I had fought with the predasite of Ms. Rosbee that Tart had made back when I was sick when I was nine.

"I'll fill you in when Ringo get's here so that I'll only have to explain it once." I replied and we loaded the bags I was carrying into the kitchen and the items in the bags where they belonged.

"Ringo, has arrived." Heicha-chan called out as me and Berry were just in the begging process of making dinner.

"We're in the kitchen Ringo-chan!" I hollered and waited for the footsteps to head in the direction of the kitchen. When I heard them headed in that direction I went about what I was doing again.

"Did I mess much?" Ringo-chan asked as she entered the kitchen and sit herself on one of the counters.

"Nope, actually now that you are here Purin can finally fill me in on what she was holding out on me earlier." I heard Berry-chan comment as I cut the fish that we'd be eating tonight.

"Okay, okay. As I was walking to the grocery store I happened to come across Masaya with one of Ichigo's highschool friend's. They were walking by Tokyo Den and talking about the two of them meeting up with Shirogane." I stated as I now made the miso soup for tonight's dinner.

"Tokyo Den? As in the Tokyo Den, that all of us are going to eat at in a week, Tokyo Den?" Berry-chan demanded.

"Did they say when? Why would they be meeting with Shirogane? Do you think Ichigo will be there? Do the others know yet?" Ringo asked leaving her seat on the counter to stand next to me and Berry-chan in a sort of circle.

"Yes, Tokyo Den. Yes, it is where we all planned to eat at in a week. No, the others don't know about this yet. Yes, they said they would be there on Tuesday. I don't know why they would be meeting with Shirogane. No, I don't think Ichigo will be there at least not with them. Any thing else you would like to know investigators?" I asked as I took my apron off and started to get things ready to be moved to the dinning area.

"Sorry, Purin." They both said though I ignored it and we all settled down with my siblings to eat dinner. After dinner and after I got my siblings to bed we all agreed to go to bed ourselves.

Hot, like a scorching summers day when you can cook an egg on the side walk hot. But there were lovely trees every where and the leaves of the trees were a deep crimson red like blood once you've cut someone or something on some trees, and a golden orange yellow like the sun when you see it in a movie or a picture. The ground was a rich brown color and where there would be rivers of lovely blue water was rivers of red magma. Amongst it all a Lady dressed in a sleeveless tube top midriff shirt, a matching short mini skirt, and matching high heeled sandals. "What brings you all the way out her Hime-nee-chan?" A voice, I recognized as mine asked.

"You're the first to call me that. The other three didn't even know so much who I am? Do you remember?" The lady asked me.

"Remember what exactly and what do you mean by the other three?" I demanded.

"I can't answer your questions little one. All I can tell you is that Tokyo Mew Mew is needed once again and the only ones you can trust our the five true members of Tokyo Mew Mew." The female known as Hime replied.

"Can you at least tell me who are enemy is?" I asked.

"You all already know the answer you just have to look deeper to know the truth." Hime stated before she disappeared on me.

"No, wait!" I screamed waking up to Berry-chan and Ringo-chan on either side of me.

"What happened did you have a nightmare?" Berry-chan asked me.

"Not quite." I replied before falling back on my bed.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Ringo-chan asked.

"All I know is that it was a place I have never seen before, never been to before, but felt so familiar to me as if I had lived there my whole life. The place was hot, had trees with odd colored leaves, in place of the rivers of water was rivers of magma, and there was this lady dressed in pink that was refereed to as Hime who was talking about Tokyo Mew Mew being needed again." I replied.

"Well that is odd, but it doesn't really help describe what it means." Berry and Ringo stated.

"Yeah, well lets think about it later for now lets get some sleep." I replied.
