It's finally arrived! The moment we've all been waiting for. OK, well I've been waiting for at least. I just know you guys want to read this chapter. There is a lot of dialogue in this chapter, a lot of dialogue. I have to get better at describing what's going. Thank you Shadow Raccoon and Shadow Wolf for your review! Nira, disclaimer please.
Nira: Nilla does not own Tokyo Mew Mew in any way shape or form, other than her OC's *cough* like me *cough*, plot, and idea.
Cue Chapter 9!
9. Island Getaway
The long awaited vacation has finally arrived.
Nira took a deep breath of fresh hair, and let out a content sigh. She and her parents had finally arrived at their destination. A ferry had taken them to a island somewhere off the coast of Japan. The water surrounding the island was beautiful and the sand was soft and white. The palm trees were tall and green. The sky was clear of clouds and bright blue. The sun was nice and warm on her back. The breeze was perfect. Apparently Zakuro owned a vacation home out here and offered it up for the trip.
And it certainly wasn't your everyday small vacation home either.
When they got their Nira stood gaping in aw at the place. It looked like a cross between a small mansion and a beach house. It was two floors and had a long dock that led from the porch down to the ocean. Nira no longer dreaded this trip seeing how magnificent it was gonna be.
"Ichigo-san! Aoyama-san! Nira!" A voice called from the balcony porch. They looked up to see the familiar green hair and ponytail of Lettuce, she was wearing a white sundress with green vine patterns. Next to her stood Shirogane, and instead of his usual discontent scowl he looked rather pleased.
"Lettuce!" Nira's mom called running up to the house, it wasn't long before the red haired and green haired girls had each other in a sisterly embrace.
"Masaya." Shirogane said, walking up behind his wife.
"Ryou." Nira's father greeted. She guessed they weren't very fond of each other.
"Is Zakuro-san here?" Nira's mom asked Lettuce.
"Not yet, she had to go to a show with her daughter but they will be here tomorrow." Lettuce answered.
"Where is Choko?" Nira asked.
"She's upstairs. You and her are going to be sharing a room." Lettuce said grinning.
"Later!" Nira said running into the house and upstairs. She noticed one of the bedroom doors was open. She guessed that was where Choko was.
Wrong.
"Hey Chok-" Nira froze, Aozora stood. His bag was on one of three beds in the room and he was moving his stuff into some nearby drawers. The room had dark blue, light blue, and light brown colors in it and the window on the opposite wall was open letting in the nice breeze.
"What?" He asked, annoyed.
"Um, nothing. Where's Choko?" She asked, suddenly getting butterflies in her stomach for some unknown reason.
"She's in the room three doors down to the left." Aozora said. He stood there and stared at her in silence. After a minute she decided he had nothing else to say so she walked to the room three doors down from Aozora's. She opened it and sure enough Choko sat relaxing on one beds.
The room was the same as the one Aozora had been in, except it had a brown and cream color scheme and there were only two beds. "Hey Choko!"
Choko looked over to the doorway, she jumped up and ran over to hug Nira. "Hey! What took you so long?"
"I bumped into Aozora." Nira said, Choko chuckled.
"Figures." She said walking back over to her bed and plopped her butt back down on it.
"So are we the only ones here yet?" Nira asked.
"Yeah, Akasaka-san and Yamori called saying they are almost here though." Choko said.
"Well, I'm gonna start unpacking." Nira said walking over to the empty bed and throwing her bag down.
Nira heard more of her mother's squealing downstairs. Choko and Nira rushed down to see what was going on.
There at the front door stood Akasaka and Yamori, and surprisingly also Mint, Cheri, A man who resembled Cheri with the same ginger hair and hazel green eyes, and a boy who resembled Mint with her grayish blue hair and brown eyes.
"Cheri!" Nira and Choko rushed to hug the shy girl, taking her by surprise.
"Lettuce. Ichigo." Mint addressed Choko's and Nira's mothers. She too was caught by surprise when they too embraced Mint.
"Let go of me!" Mint said.
"Sorry Mint-san, it's just been so long!" Lettuce said smiling.
"Not so shy anymore are we, Lettuce?" Mint said, Nira noted she wasn't quite as friendly to their parents as she had been to them.
"Haven't changed much have you, Mint?" Nira's mom shook her head. "Figures."
"What's that supposed to mean!" Mint glared at the redhead.
The ginger haired man beside her cleared his throat to get her attention. "Oh, right. Everyone, this is my husband Jeshi Kawano, and our twins Cheri and Kuroi."
"Nice to meet you!" Ichigo and Lettuce said simultaneously. They each shook Jeshi's hand.
"Pleasure is all mine!" He said smiling.
"Yamori!" The girls turned to see Aozora coming down the stairs. Nira felt butterflies again. What was wrong with her today?
"Hey!" Yamori flung his bag over his shoulder and Aozora ran back upstairs with Yamori following close behind.
"Choko why don't you show Cheri to her room? And take Kuroi with you, he's supposed to be with Aozora." Lettuce instructed.
"Sure mom!" Choko grabbed Cheri's wrist and Nira pushed Kuroi from behind.
"I can walk on my own you know!" Kuroi said annoyed.
"Then move it soldier!" Nira chuckled, Choko laughed.
Nira dropped Kuroi off in Aozora and Yamori's room. Then she and Choko led Cheri to one of the empty rooms. This one was more like Choko and Nira's with only two beds, but it had red and hot pink colors, with small hints of dark green.
"Oh wow. Bright colors…" Nira commented.
"I like it. Red is my favorite color…" Cheri said quietly.
"You remind me of my mom." Choko said.
"Is that a bad thing?" Cheri asked, looking worried.
"No!" Choko smiled, "My mom is a great person. She's quiet and sweet. Plus she's pretty smart, and very understanding."
"I wish I could say the same about my mom." Cheri said sadly.
"Tell me about it. My mom's OK, but she's pretty annoying." Nira said. "Plus whenever she gets nervous or excited she covers her head and starts backing away without turning around. She's so weird."
Cheri smiled weakly, "Well, they are better than my mom any day. I mean, she's nice and all and very encouraging, but I think she pushes me too hard."
Nira nodded, "Yeah, I noticed she seemed kinda rude. I wonder how she became friends with our parents in the first place."
"Yeah, I wondered that too when I saw how nice your mom's were." Cheri said.
"Well, let's not dwell on this subject. Maybe when you're done unpacking we can take a walk out on the dock?" Choko suggested.
"That would be nice." Now Cheri really smiled.
"Awesome! Well, we'll be in our room when you are ready!" Nira said and she and Choko left Cheri to her unpacking.
"It's so nice out here!" Cheri said closing her eyes and spreading her arms as the breeze blew past them.
"Beautiful!" Choko said.
"So calm and quiet!" Nira said closing her eyes.
Not for long.
"Nira onee-chan!" Nira's eyes shot open when she heard the familiar voice of Kiui.
"Oh crap." She turned around just in time to be pounced by Kiui.
"Kiui is happy to see Nira onee-chan! Na no da" Kiui said.
"I'm happy to see you too Kiui!" Nira said as she pealed the energetic girl from her body.
Kiui turned and saw Cheri. "Hi! I'm Kiui Yuebin!"
"I'm Cheri Kawano." Cheri said, holding back a string of giggles.
"Nya!" Nira heard her mom yell. She guessed Pudding had attacked her mom like Kiui had just done to her.
"Should we go inside?" Choko asked.
Cheri and Nira nodded, "Yeah." Nira said.
They got inside just in time to see Mint receive her hug from Pudding. The four girls chuckled.
"Nira-chan!" Pudding said grinning, she had started over to hug her but Nira held up her hands.
"I got my hug from Kiui, I think that's plenty enough!" Nira said.
There was also another man in the room, he had burnt red hair and misty blue eyes He looked slightly older than Pudding.
"Ron-san!" Lettuce greeted the man.
"Hello Lettuce, Ichigo, Mint!" The man nodded to the three women.
"Nice to see you again, Ron!" Nira's mom smiled.
"Kiui wants to see her room!" Kiui said hopping up and down in one place.
"Girls." Ichigo nodded her head towards the three older girls.
"We got it." They said, leading Kiui away.
Kiui's room also had two beds, but they were smaller beds, the room in general was smaller. The colors were lime green and lavender.
"I wonder who picked the colors for the rooms." Nira said as they walked in.
"Kiui loves it! Green is Kiui's favorite color! Na no da" Kiui said climbing onto one of the beds and started jumping up and down on it.
"Kiui I don't think that's a good idea…" Choko said, but the younger girl didn't seem to notice.
"This. Is. So. Much. Fun!" Kiui said each word as she bounced on the bed.
"Um, we're gonna go now…" Nira said grabbing the other two girls wrists and dragging them away.
"Well, that was…interesting." Cheri said.
"You should have seen her the day we actually met her." Nira said.
"Don't ever leave her alone in my dad's café." Choko said. They all laughed.
Nira had to admit, this was turning out better than she had thought at the beginning of the summer. And Yasei had been right, there were cute boys too.
Nira: That was strange. But that was only four of the girls.
That's because I'm going to fully introduce Suika in chapter 11.
Nira: Why not the next chapter?
Because it's going to be nothing but the adults. And speaking of chapter 11, I have to actually write it. I might want to work on some of my other stories first though, because I have this Taruto/Pudding one-shot song-fic in the works and then my current stories. I have to work on updating my TOD, because someone is bugging me to death about it.
Jay: Hey! I'm not the only one wondering who was in the fridge!
Get back to your void! Well, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Remember to vote in my poll on if this should be a series or not! Please review! Love you, kittens!
