#~!~#
Amu raced out of the Seiyo Academy as the bell rang. Of course, nothing went as planned. It never did, it seemed. She silently cursed, realizing that the X chara was farther away than expected. Tadase and the others had told her where it was and she was determined to try out her new powers on an actual enemy instead of practice dummies. Not to mention the fact that she wasn't wearing any shoes, she'd been alerted on such short notice that she'd left them back at her cubby.
As she raced through the nearby park she looked around and realized nobody was looking at her, she sped into the nearest dirt path and stopped, her feet creating the screeching sound that race cars usually had when they stopped short.
After looking around again, she smiled to Ran and nodded. The excited chara flew over to her, also excited about gaining a new power. Miki and Su watched in poorly hidden jealousy.
Amu cried out in a confident voice, "My heart, unlock!" She was pulled into her own world full of sparkling golden light as red ribbons with hearts encircled her. Her body was engulfed in shining light and her hair was pulled out of its side pony tail, whipping around her head. She spun around excitedly a few times before she was pulled backward. Ran jumped and was pulled into her egg.
However when Amu spun around and held Ran's egg near the Humpty Lock, instead of being encased in a small torrent of pink, rainbow sparks were emitted from the lock and Amu spun around faster. A pink power attached itself around her body and wrapped around her, conjoining to make her Amulet Heart outfit. The air around her legs, wrists, the area below her shoulders, her backside and her head exploded outward, leaving a trail of multicolored dust. She extended her arms around her as a whip of light and shining pure power attached to her hand and she whipped it around herself, finally coming to a halt. The two charas floated there, dumbfounded and in awe at their chara Bearer.
Amu's outfit was a much brighter pink. Her skirt was poofier, and her shoulder cuffs weren't as frilly anymore. Her leggings and sneakers were replaced with boots that came just below her knees. Atop her head her visor remained, though two black cat ears now protruded where the big heart hair accessory had been and right across from that. A black tail popped out from the bottom of her skirt and was also engulfed in a shining light before gaining a big pink bow with a bell in the shape of a heart faded into existence. The hem of her clothes –the skirt, shoulder cuffs, the lacy shirt- was now lined with a less poofy frill, but still there. The same two red strips of fabric flew wildly around her body as she hopped, stepped, and finally jumped into her pose. Miki and Su clapped approvingly as Amu twirled for a moment, admiring the new changes to her outfit.
Then, as soon as they had stopped, they started hurrying again. Amu was more pumped than ever to try out her new powers and took to the sky, feeling running was taking too long. They arrived to their destination in moments: a small clearing of a park with a lake in the distance. Amu saw a van with Utau's face on the side of driving away, along with the emboldened Easter emblem. She scowled at her enemy's van as it sped away, undoubtedly containing the evil chara destroyer herself. But as she turned to give chase, an angry voice sounded behind her.
"Hinamori Amu!" Utau Hoshina shouted, holding multiple x chara eggs.
"Utau!" she shouted back. Said superstar frowned wickedly and glared.
"Amu, I'm not going to lose to you!" she said evilly, throwing the x eggs into the air. There were at least ten of them in all, Amu observed. They floated for a moment before flying quickly towards her. She dodged and tried to catch the nearest, but with amazing speed it flew out of reach and summoned its comrades, all of them now flying at her with deadly precision. She gasped as they hit all over her body, digging into her ribs, arms, chest and neck. They winded her and she started gasping as they repeated the strategy over and over.
Finally, Amu was able to out fly them and flew randomly around, dodging and flying and generally retreating. She summoned enough power in her wounded state to bring the Heart Rod into her hands. She threw it and shouted, "Spiral Heart!", watching confidently as it arched through the sky, gathering the x eggs into one spot. She instinctively brought her hands up to the Humpty Lock, ready to perform the Open Heart cleansing attack, though she paused.
"Amu, what's wrong? Let's use Open Heart already! The x eggs are getting lose!" Ran yelled in her subconscious. She knew Ran was right, the eggs were starting to move around more. Amu steeled her decision and brought forth excess power that she didn't know she had.
"Calling; Strawberry Bell!" she yelled. She only had to wait for a split second before in a flash of shining light, the Strawberry Bell appeared in her hands. She smiled brightly despite her condition.
"Oh, I get it now! Go Amu-chan!" Ran shouted happily. Amu aimed at the x eggs, building up her power and concentrating. She spun 360 degrees a few times, forcing all extra power into the Strawberry Bell by some supernatural form of centrifugal force. She stopped suddenly, pointing exactly at her target.
"Ribbon Strawberry Surprise!" with that, all the power she had been compressing- which is an extreme amount, by any standard- was released. It flashed brightly and not only purified the x eggs into perfection, but also pushed Amu back about twenty feet; right into a telephone pole. She cried out in pain for a moment before detaching herself from the structure, her eyes spinning dizzily and wobbling in mid-air. She slowly floated to the ground, tired out from all the unneeded force. She reached the ground and fell to her knees in exhaustion. But still she watched as the many eggs danced happily on the wind before flying away to their bearers.
She didn't know how long she stayed in that spot, but she did for what felt like an hour, getting rid of all her dizziness. Finally she heard the sound of footsteps and wind, making her face to her right. What she saw was rather strange and beautiful.
Her mom, Ichigo, was in her Tokyo Mew Mew outfit. She didn't look very different from her mother, she noticed. Though her mom's outfit was minus the big frills.
Her god mother, Retasu, was also in what she assumed to be her Tokyo Mew Mew fighting getup, as were Purin and two other women. Retasu's outfit was green, while Purin's was yellow, Ichigo's in pink, and the two other women had on colors to match their hair, purple and blue. Up above, she saw her dad, Kisshu floating with Taruto and Pai. Looking back at the group of women, she saw that there were two other men behind them, looking slightly uncomfortable next an expensive-looking red car.
One of them was tall, looked to be in about his mid-thirties and had short blonde hair. The other man looked to be in his late thirties, with long brown hair in a large pony tail that trailed down past his knees. He was wearing what looked like a white barman shirt with black suspenders, also with a small black bow tie.
The blonde was wearing a black vest with no shirt underneath, it looked like. Two black straps were hanging nonchalantly on his shoulders, and he was wearing white jeans with black boots, along with a red cloth choker.
The purple-haired girl looked to be the same age as the brown-haired man, though everything else was pretty much a polar opposite. She wore long purple boots that flared open at the top where they extended past her knees. She was also wearing purple shorts and a purple band around her leg, as was a customary tradition with the Mews. She had on two puffy shoulder cuffs and two wrist bands, along with a skimpy purple shirt that went only from the top of her breasts to the bottom, exposing most of her stomach. Her hair, as was almost everything on her body, was purple. She had two wolf ears extending from her head and a short, scruffy tail.
The blue-haired girl had on a light blue dress that was entirely too short to be modest in Amu's opinion. She also had a blue band on her leg, with blue gloves and blue low-heeled shoes. She was wearing a blue choker and her hair was up in two buns. She had the tail feathers of a bird and two wings jutted from her shoulder blades.
The rest she recognized easily. Purin, obviously as well as her mother, and then Retasu. She realized the two women must've been Zakuro and Minto that the group had told her about. And those two men, they must've been Ryou and Keiichiro. Ichigo hadn't said very kind things about Ryou, who was a blonde, so they were easily told apart. Though she didn't know which one was Zakuro or Minto, but she assumed the blue one was Minto, or, "That lazy, spoiled brat!" as her mom had put it.
"Amu, you did wonderful!" Ichigo cried happily, hugging her daughter and pulling her up.
"Yeah, your attack was way more powerful than I expected it to be," Minto said, walking up to her a giving a sly smile, "I guess that's because Ichigo here was never that powerful. I assume your power comes from Kisshu, no?" at this Amu giggled and Ichigo fumed, shouting indecencies. Purin jumped up and down, laughing. Retasu sweat-dropped while Zakuro and Minto looked coolly at Ichigo's childish behavior. Kisshu looked on, amused, as did Taruto. Pai rolled his eyes and muttered "humans".
Amu blinked and looked at the group, smiling. This was how she pictured it. When Ichigo and Kisshu had told her of their group, this is what she had imagined- people of contrasting behaviors, looks, races even- all finding friendship and even relationship within each other. It was a beautiful sight.
"This is Ichigo's kid? Wow..." The blonde, Ryou, said while walking up to her. She realized all eyes were on her and she blushed, loudly "eep"ing. Ryou stared for half a second before bursting into laughter, clutching at his stomach a few feet away from her. Most of the adults were laughing. Amu just stood there, blushing, with arms folded defiantly over her chest.
"What? What's so funny?" she demanded, trying to glare at them threateningly but failing utterly. When Keiichiro stopped laughing, he walked up to her and put an arm around her shoulder.
"N-nothing, Amu," he chuckled. "It's just that you're like a mini Ichigo, and it's funny, the similarities that you two have. Your mom has her ears and tail, too. And look, your outfits are almost the same!" he cried out, ushering Amu over next to her mom. Zakuro nodded approvingly.
"You pull it off as well as Ichigo does," she said.
"Aww, Amu-chan is the same as Ichigo-chan! Look, their hair is the same, na no da!" Purin yelled happily, pointing at Amu's hair. She studied it and Ichigo's. True to Purin's word, their hair colors were identical, as were most of their outfits' details. A puffy skirt, boots, shoulder cuffs, tail, cat ears, and clothing color. The main differences were eye color, Amu wasn't wearing gloves, Ichigo was wearing a vest that was separated into four points, and Ichigo was older than her. And Ichigo didn't have two lace strands on the back of her outfit.
Mother and daughter looked at each other for a moment, blinked, then broke into smiles and laughter. Minto shook her head but smiled too as Ryou wove his arm around her waist and hugged her to him. Pai landed next to Retasu, Taruto to Purin, and Kisshu to Ichigo and Amu. Kisshu picked up Amu and held her up near his shoulder, arm acting as a seat. Only Zakuro and Keiichiro stood apart from the others, not together though still smiling. Suddenly Kisshu eyed Taruto as the youngest alien put an arm around the yellow Mew's shoulder. He shook his head, saying, "Jeez, Taruto. You get a chance to make a move on your girlfriend and you don't even go for her waist. I kissed Ichigo before I even knew her, and you've known Purin for what, sixteen years?" Taruto and Purin blushed for a moment before he started screaming at Kisshu, face going cherry red. Taruto started chasing him, Kisshu set Amu down and teleported a few feet away with an evil smirk.
Amu smiled awkwardly then looked to her mom.
"He kissed you before he even knew you?"she asked. Ichigo sighed and her eye twitched at the memory.
"Oh yes he did. My first kiss, not to mention! He was my enemy and I hated him back then. But I also loved somebody else, so I didn't really give him a chance. Though that was probably because he flew off the top of a building and just randomly kissed me!" she fumed. "He always was- and still is- a perverted alien." Amu sighed and sweat-dropped. It seemed like there was still past history that she hadn't been informed of. She blinked.
"Wait, mom, you loved somebody else before dad? Why did you stop loving that guy?" Amu whispered, feeling like it was a subject that shouldn't really be shared with the others at the moment. She was right. Ichigo froze up at the memory and clenched her fists, eyes setting into a cold gleam.
"I don't really want to talk about it right now, honey. Maybe some other time?" she whispered back. Amu blinked once again and nodded, getting it was something personal. She was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard someone shout, "Stop it, you two alien brats! Don't make me use my Mint Arrow on you two immature idiots!" Obviously it was Minto.
Amu laughed as Kisshu stuck his tongue out at her and she fumed, multiple veins popping on her head.
#~!~#
Unbeknownst to the group, two pairs of eyes watched them from two different places, each oblivious of the other.
Behind a nearby tree, Utau watched the happenings with widened eyes. She was visibly shaking at the appearance of those, those freaks! But she smiled wickedly through her fear. She had some dirt on Amu. It could possibly help her single handedly bring that brat down to her knees! And oh, the pay! The raises she would get from Easter when she told them! And after she destroyed Amu, she would have Ikuto all to herself. How she hated that little bitch for trying to steal her man!
~!~
The other pair of eyes was none other than Ikuto himself. He watched from atop a nearby house the happenings. He could easily hear all the conversation, thanks to his cat ears. His eyes were wide and his hands shook as many different emotions blasted through his body, some obvious, like shock, surprise, and fear of the alien men and supernatural women, then other emotions that he would not willingly admit, even as he gazed upon the cat-eared chara bearer. However he could not deny that her features stirred something in his chest that caused his heart to clench when she was hugged by her own father and the other alien boy that they called "Taruto". His hands tightened into fists as he fought a blush down when she moved bout, her tail swishing teasingly in his direction.
Not feeling like he could take any more, Ikuto stood and hastily walked away from the sight, hopping through trees, on top of buildings and across stone walls.
#~!~#
Nosuka chan: How was that? Yeah, I decided that Ikuto should be more in love with Amu than he'd willingly admit, and Utau's a bitch, but hey, it's my fanfic!
Ikuto: I hate you so much, Nosuka...
Kisshu:*growls* I read that last paragraph, you stupid cat. Stay away from my Amu-chan!
Ikuto: I don't want your "Amu-chan"!
Nosuka chan: Actually, you do end up loving her in the anime, though I haven't even seen all of it... but that's what I was told...
Kisshu: What! If he's the bad guy and he gets the girl, how come I'm the bad guy in my anime and I don't get Ichigo-chan!
Nosuka chan:*sighs* alas, I am not in charge of Tokyo Mew Mew and I was not the one to decide. But if it had been me, I would've let you have Ichigo. Alright, Ja ne, and thank you my readers!
