I'm back again Tokyo Mew Mew fans! Im back and I'm bored as heck. So I'm back in action and ready for what is to come! Bring it on! But don't start throwing base balls at me, they hurt when they hit your face. That would be anything 17+ times I've been hit in the face with anything spherical.

Chapter Nine

Nashi arrived home late. She was soking wet from the rain and she was still in shock from what had happened in the park. As she took her shoes off she noticed that Ichigo was home. She came home much earlier than her. Nashi sighed. Her eyes already started to close. She looked at the clock and it read that it was close to eleven at night.

"I was out really late huh?" She said to herself. "I wonder how it went with Ichigo and Masaya." She started up the stairs and into her bedroom. She took her time changing out of her wet clothes and into her pajamas. She looked at her script for the play that rested on her night stand. "In due time, our performance will come..." She then lost all her energy and landed on her bed and fell asleep.

She started dreaming about what happened with her and Kish in the park.

"I will be yours." She whispered. He smiled.

"I'm glad, Nashi-chan." She looked back up at him and smiled. He started rubbing her tiger ears and she quickly jumped back and put her hands over them.

"I didn't even notice they came out." She said embarrassed.

"You look cute with them out." He removed her hands from her head and let her ears come back out. "It suits you."

"Kish." She looked at her watch and found out how late it was. "Ichigo might start to worry about me!"

"I won't keep you then." He put on hand on her shoulder. "I'll see you soon." He disappeared. Nashi started running towards home.

"I'll be waiting for him. But I can't let the others know." She said. She took a corner and another then made it to her house. Before she opened the door, she looked back. "Today turned out pretty good."

She woke up to the sound of her alarm clock. She turned it off and sat up. "That fight yesterday was crazy." She walked over to her closet and took out an extra school uniform since her other one was all wet from the rain. She noticed that Ichigo wasn't up yet when she opened the door. She decided to let Ichigo sleep a little longer till dad goes to wake her. She walked down stairs and into the kitchen.

"Nashi, good morning." Her mother said as she came in.

"Good morning." Nashi said tiredly.

"You were out late last night."

"Yeah. I was kept late at the cafe." Nashi lied.

"But Ichigo came home earlier." She added.

"Yeah, she was with Masaya again." Nashi said, since that's what she knew.

"When do you think you'll get a boyfriend?" She asked. Nashi's face turned red. She didn't want to tell her mother that her boyfriend was an alien.

"I'm going to school!" She grabbed an apple from the fridge and walked to the door.

"Good morning!" Her dad said as she passed him.

"Good morning." She repeated. She grabbed her shoes and made her way out the door. She pulled her script out of her bag and just studied the cover. "Why did it have to be Miroki?" She said sighing. She started walking. On her way she started singing Dreams to Dream (I love this song! It's from a movie I saw when I was a kid. This is the short version because I don't want to bore you to death with it).

Dreams to dream, in the dark of the night
When the world goes wrong, I can still make it right
I can see, so far in my dream
I'll follow my dreams, until they come true

Come with me, you will see what I mean
There's a world inside, no one ever sees
You will go, so far in my dreams
Somewhere in my dreams, your dreams will come true

There is a star, waiting to guide us
Shining inside us
When we close our eyes

Don't let go, if you stay close to me
In my dreams tonight, you will see what I see
Dreams to dream, as near as can be
Inside you and me, that always come true

She stopped singing as she reached the school. She walked straight to the gym. Everyone was there today.

"It's about time." She said to herself. The director had them gather in the center of the gym.

"Everyone, I have some sad news." Nashi started to get the feeling that he was going to cancel the show. "Miroki Naragima will be moving to Osaka as of tomorrow, and will be leaving us." Nashi felt a little part of her do back flips and started having a party.

YES! No more Naragima! He's leaving! Woo hoo!

"But since he was playing the prince in our play, and there's no one else to play the part, the show can't go on." There was a giant silence in the gym. "I'm afraid this has to be done. You're all dismissed." Nashi's heart sank. She was looking forward to the show. As she took notes in her class, she started thinking about the show's cancelation.

I can't believe this would happen! I'm sure there must be someone that's better than Miroki to play the prince. I bet even- She stopped her thought before she went insane. But it was too late.

"WHY'D THEY HAVE TO CANCEL THE SHOW!?!?" Everyone turned her way after her out burst.

"Miss Momomiya, I know you're upset about the performance, but you must pay attention."

"Yes sensei (teacher)." She said sighing. As she left her classroom, she found Ichigo and Masaya in the courtyard together.

At least they're doing good. She thought. Ichigo spotted her and Nashi ran off. She dicided to go to Miroki's house, and start screaming at him. She banged on the door really hard. The door finally opened up.

"Nashi?" Miroki was surprised to see her there. She raised her hand and slapped him across the face.

"You're a real jerk, you know that!?" She started. "You knew that this play was important to me and I've been looking forward to it all year and now you're suddenly moving away!? The show is canceled because of you!"

"It's not my fault." He told her. "My dad got a promotion and in order to keep his job, we'd have to move to Osaka. He got this last week." Nashi said nothing.

"And why didn't you tell me?" She said coldly.

"I tried, but you'd always keep your distance."

"You still could have told me you idiot!" She said. She raised her hand again about to slap him one more time. He grabbed her hand before it reached his face. She tried to pull away but his grip was too strong for her. "Let go of me!"

"I saw you with that boy." He said. She stopped struggling and was completely frozen. "I passed by the park on my way home and I saw you there with him. What is wrong with you!" When he raised his voice she started shaking. "You were fighting him on Tokyo Tower! He tried to kill everyone and everything in Tokyo! Yet you have feelings for him!"

"That's really none of your business." She said. She pulled away and freed her hand. "Who I like is none of your concern! You're just really jealous that I like someone other than you! You need to grow up!" She stormed off.

"Why that- I swear! Why does he always have to be like that. He knows I hate him but he just forces himself on me. Especially since he would always but me before." She decided to take the long way to the cafe this time. She walked through the park and just looked around at all the people sitting and watching the sky and whatever. She was really close to the cafe by now, but she stopped for a while and started staring off into space. "Who does he think he is?" Someone quickly grabbed her and she was trapped in soemone's arms. "LET ME GO!"

"Relax, it's just me Nashi-chan." Her tiger ears popped up and she turned her head.

"Kish!"

"Hey there." He let her go.

"You really scared me." She said still kind of in shock.

"Sorry, I couldn't resist." He joked. "You're just so cute when you get surprised." She blushed. He wrapped his arms around her again and her head felt like it was going to explode. "Maybe you can skip work today and go out with me."

"Um... I- uh..." She couldn't get the words out of her mouth.

"What are you doing!" She turned her head and saw the mew mews. "Nashi, what are you doing!"

"Everyone..." She didn't know what she was suppose to say.

"You're just lucky Ichigo isn't here." Mint said.

"I told you that she betrayed you." Miroki stepped out from behind all five girls.

"You!" She gave a really dirty look at him.

"Nothing personal Nashi, but that's tough love." He smirked.

"I knew it! You're still the sick twisted jerk that you've always been!" She ran over and jumped on top of him and started punching the living daylight out of him. "I told you to never interfer! I also warned you to leave me alone or I'd kill you!" All her anger was now put into one more blow, but before she could give it...

POOF!

"Nani?" Miroki looked much bigger than before. She looked at what was suppose to be her hands, but were actually paws. "What happened!"

"Nashi? Are you alright?" Lettuce walked over and picked her up. "You turned into a tiger kitten." She looked at her reflection in her glasses and it was true.

"How the heck did I turn into a cat!" She screamed but all they could hear was her meowing. "It's useless, they don't understand me anyways." She jumped out of Lettuce's arms and ran away. Kish had disappeared when they weren't paying attention to him.

"We have to find her!" Pudding said.

"I say leave her." Mint said. "She's a traitor. I'm going back to the cafe." She turned around and walked away.

"I'm sure she might turn up sometime." Zakuro said to Pudding. "After all, she knows that she won't turn on us."

---- ---- ---- ----

Nashi ran half way across the city. She was hoping she'd be able to find her sister somewhere and see if she might help her. It was hard for her though since she was getting use to being a tiger. Everyone she passed stared at her with weird looks.

Man. I hate being a tiger. I'm so small and I have no idea how I even turned into one! She stopped at the aquarium out of breath. She collapsed from exhaustion at the entrance. It's hopeless. I can't find her anywhere. I'll never find Ichigo. Someone suddenly lifted her up.

"Ichigo, where do you think she came from?" It was Masaya, and Ichigo was with him!

"She's so cute!" Ichigo said.

"This isn't the time Ichigo!" Nashi screamed, but only came out as a meow. But since a tiger is a type of cat, Ichigo was able to understand her.

"Can I see her for a second?" She asked. Masaya nodded and handed the little kitty to her.

"Nashi? Is that you?" She whispered.

"Yes! It's me Ichigo! I don't know how but I turned into a tiger!" She explained.

"Did you get really excited by something?"

"No. All I know was I was really angery and I was going to knock Miroki's lights out but then I became really small."

"I though you told Miroki to stay away from you." Ichigo wondered.

"I did. He also told the mew mews some crazy story that Kish and I are together." Even though thi is somewhat true, she couldn't let her sister know that they were. "He just can't handle rejection." She said and crossed her paws.

"He is strange." She said.

"Is everything alright?" Masaya asked. They almost forgot he ws there.

"Um, yeah. Everythings just fine." Ichigo said. "Why don't we take her with us."

"Will they allow her inside?" He wondered.

"Probably not. But..." She placed Nashi in her small red bag. "...she fits just well in here." They walked inside. Nashi kept her head inside as much as possible but would poke out every couple minutes to see where they were going. "I'll be right back." Ichigo walked into the bathroom and made sure no one else was inside then locked the door. She placed her bag next to the sinks and Nashi jumped out.

"This is a disaster! I can't stay a cat forever!" She complained.

"Well, I transformed into a cat a while ago." Ichigo said. "I transform if I get really excited. But to change back, I'd have to kiss someone or something."

"So, you think it could work with me too?" She asked.

"It's worth a shot." Ichigo said. "If it worked for me, it could work for you." There were screamed coming from outside. "What the heck?" She unlocked the door and saw that the tanks were bursting. Masha popped out.

"ALIEN! ALIEN!"

"Oh no!" Nashi panicked and ran out of the room.

"Nashi!"

Nashi started looking around for something to kiss. She could try a fish but she was too tempted to eat them instead. She started runing every which way but couldn't find anything. She was almost trampled by all the people running by trying to get out.

"Oh. This is the worst day ever!" She looked to the side and saw a gray cat wearing a green bandana around it's neck. She slowly walked over to it. "Um, hello."

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Well, I... that is... I was looking for someone." That was partially true." He bolted toward her and she imediately shut her eyes. He kissed her! She then found herself back to normal. "What the? How did I?" She looked at the little gray cat before he ran away. "I see... well, I have no time to waist!"

"MEW MEW PEAR! METAMORPHO-SIS!"

She ran back to where she left Ichigo, but she had already gone. "Must be fighting some kimera anima somewhere." Speak of the devil, a giant shark kimera anima came from behind and started to attack her. "Oh no you don't! RIBBON PEAR DOUBLE SHOT!" It disappeared. "Ha! You can't beat me that easily." Another came out of nowhere and knocked her over. "Why you!" Her anger started growing really fast. "RIBBON PEAR DOUBLE SHOT! And this time, stay down!" The monster disppeared in a puff of smoke, and Nashi turned back into a tiger.

"Not again!" She whined. This time there was nothing to kiss so she could change back. She sighed. "Man, just my luck." She started walking toward the exit, until...

Someone lifted her up. She started struggling to get free, and almost scratched their hand.

"Calm down Nashi-chan." She turned her head.

"Kish!" She said cheerfully. All he could hear was a little meow. She jumped out of his hands and onto his shoulder and started rubbing her head against his cheek and started purring.

"You must really be happy to see me." He placed one hand on her head and started rubbing between her ears. She moved a little closer and was able to kiss him. She started glowing and changed back to normal, again.

"I'm always happy to see you." She said smiling. Her ears and tail were still out though. She just laughed.

"You better get going before Ichigo sees you with me." He warned her. She nodded and started for the exit again. Before she left, she turned around and started whispering something to him.

"Daiuske (I love you)." She blushed and turned around and ran off.

Later that night while she was working on her homework, which she was excused from for a long while since she was in the play, she just couldn't get the thought of the aquarium out of her head. She started rolling around on her bed and was giggling like a little kid.

"I've never been so happy in my life!" She shouted blissfully. She closed her text book after she had finished and placed it on her desk. She jumped under the covers and checked her clock. It was pretty late. She was suppose to be asleep a half hour ago. "I guess daydreaming gets me out of reality by a long shot." She turned off her light and rested her head on her pillow. "Well, at least I know how I turn into a tiger. I just have to watch my anger levels." She pulled her covers over her shoulders and shut her eyes.


And that's the game! Well, that's the chapter. You know what I mean! Yeah, it changes between anime and manga all the time so make sure you know where I'm going, 'kay? I'm unpredictable, sort of. Well, I'll see ya later! Bye bye!
