Tara Kihato and Ryou
A slender girl with long, black glossy hair walked through the park sporting a black skirt and green top. Engrossed in her music blasting from her ipod, she didn't notice the boy watching her from the bushes, holding an injection gun close to him. As she passed a short girl with bouncy red hair, a shot was fired and a strong stinging pain overwhelmed her in her left arm. Senses were blinded.
( so begins our story)
" Tara, you feeling okay?" My friend Amy asked me curiously, waving her hand in front of my eyes. I blinked several times, and rubbed my tired eyes in frustration.
" Spaced out again?" I asked, with a tired sigh whilst stretching at my desk.
" Yeah, what is with you lately Tara?" she chattered, raising her eyebrows at me. I know this was unlike me. I wasn't the type to doze off in class, even if this was geography. I looked down at my arm, which was still shaking. What happened in the park yesterday? As my mind started to list off possibilities, the bell for home started ringing, and before I knew it Amy had bounded away to greet her boyfriend. Walking home alone again I guess.
I think I'll take the long way, and pop into pharmacy on the way. I felt like I needed painkillers for this stabbing pain in my arm. I shifted my bag over my shoulder and started to walk out, blanking my geography teacher on the way so that she wouldn't ask me about sleeping in class. It was getting difficult to walk straight, I felt so dizzy and my arm was literally weighing me down. I needed to take my mind off it. I looked over at the student notice board to see a picture of an unbearably pink café, and my arm started shaking violently again. I knew about that place, the girls were crazy about it for the cakes they sell there. I know my arm is a priority right now, but I was in the mood for cake. I decided to head there.
( At the cafe)

" What a lame advert." I mumbled to myself, reading from the queue lined up next to café mew mew. Although, I was getting fed up of waiting for one little cake. I followed the sign for auditions round at the back entrance, thinking I had nothing to lose. It led to the kitchen and I saw a tall man with long hair tied up in a ponytail in a chefs get up, decorating all of these extravagant cakes.
" Excuse me? Is this where the auditions are?" I spoke up and was surprised to see the man turn around to flash me a kind smile. He wiped his hands on a tea towel and ushered me into a small room with a microphone stood up in middle.
" Oh that's handy, I've come here to sing," I said gladly, pointing to the microphone. He smiled and sat down on a blue chair in front of me.
" So, what's your name young beauty?" He smiled with a charming glint in his eyes, whilst holding up a clipboard.
" Tara. Tara Kihato." I told him, whilst running song lyrics through my head. I hoped this was a good idea and not one of those moments that will be a feature on my gravestone.
" Well, whenever you're ready Tara." He smiled, sitting back in his chair ready to give me all of his attention. I took a deep breath, stood up straight and sang.
I have always found it easy to project my voice, but now I felt like someone who is overwhelmed by the force of an ocean wave, my voice was so loud and clear. Crystal clear. The room seemed to light up, as my voice reached the ceiling probably reaching the people sitting in the café area. The brown-haired man was too surprised to write anything down on his clipboard, as my voice seemed to push him backwards into his chair. My left arm now felt light. All of me felt light as I swayed along to the melody I was singing.
I was suddenly aware of time and faded my voice out, suddenly feeling very tired. Breathing heavily, I looked at the man expectantly for a response. He was still surprised, his eyes wide as if my voice was still reaching him.
" Tara, that was unbelievable. Please come back here later for 7, for your debut." He said, no hesitation clear in his voice.
" What? Already!" I said in a panicked tone. It wasn't meant to go this far, I never win anything!
" Why did you audition, lovely if you didn't want to show off your talent." He chuckled, winking at me.
" Ok I'll come back later, thank you sir!" I bowed down in respect, before grabbing my stuff.
" Call me Keiichiro." He shouted at me, as I ran out of the door. I turned round to smile, before I embraced outside air again.
I can't believe I'm coming back later! I slapped my forehead, annoyed at myself. Why do you make these weird decisions, Tara!
(Later that night)
Still regretting my decision earlier, I straightened out my skirt and rubbed my throat to make sure my song didn't start with a growl. I heard footsteps and noticed Keiichiro walking towards me with an encouraging smile.
" I'm so nervous!" I whispered, hearing my teeth chatter as I said this.
" You are going to be great! Think of all the cakes you will sell for me!" He smiled.
" Haha. Funny." I smirked, standing up ready.
" Ryou will love it." He said as he started to walk away.
" Who's Ryou?" I asked, but he had already left. I looked back to see the curtain going up and an expectant group of girls, gazing at the stage I was about to own. (Hopefully)
I walked up to the microphone, trying my best to smile at all of the faces looking at me. I took a deep breath and sang the same song as before. Again, I felt the cold rush of being hit by a majestic ocean wave and the room felt lighter somehow. Straight ahead, I noticed a boy about my age with blond hair that waved across his eyes that resembled the ocean itself. He was gorgeous..
My arm felt so light, that I found myself reaching for the ceiling feeling the glorious feeling of pain subsiding. I suddenly felt hyper aware, as I could hear everyone's gasps around me, and light all around me seemed so close. The light suddenly surrounded all of me and as I looked down my top and skirt had been replaced with a tattered black dress and my eyes felt like they were burning. I stopped singing. An ethereal blue light danced in front of me like a fairy creature, seeming like it was drawn to me.
" Mew Aqua." I whispered, before this even entered my mind. I looked around to see the blond boy running up to me, his blue eyes wide and I tried to make out why he was shouting my name so urgently. His eyes seemed to be locked on something behind me, but as I started to turn a hand collided with my face and I was thrown down the length of the stage. I looked up to see a man with short purple hair and elf-like ears, whose hand was still raised up from his attack. I saw his hand reach for the mew aqua and hurled myself in front of him, tackling him to the ground.
" You dirty human! This is ours!" he shouted at me, threatening me with his fist. I could almost feel his anger hit me all over. I didn't understand why he was so desperate for this orb of light, but all my senses were telling me not to let him have it.
I backed away and reached for the sky again, where I felt a strange dagger form, its hilt decorated with a delicate bell. I saw the blond boy, who nodded at me once. I knew what I had to do!
RIBBON LICORICE SPLICE! I shouted this command with all my might as I slashed the air with my dagger, its attack propelled by the eerie echo of the bell as it hit the enemy square in the chest.
I did it…
(Blackout)
" So that's it. " I responded to Ryou's explanation. The Mews mews were girls with special powers that were chosen to fight the Aliens wanting to claim Earth back. Ryou shot me with the genetic information by accident, but they discovered that my singing voice had the ability to summon mew aqua.
" I know it's a lot to take in." Ryou admitted, running his hands through his hair. I studied his expression, and felt like he was trying to feel what I was feeling. It was the expression of someone walking aimlessly in a maze.
" Thank you" I said softly, placing my hand over his. I didn't understand why I was thankful and he felt the same, but didn't question it. Instead, he stroked my cheek and looked into my eyes.
" They aren't red anymore." He said with a cheeky smile. I gave him a weird look but he erased this expression when he hugged me close to him.
" What are you doing?" I asked, my face a sure bright red.
" Don't sound so angry. You don't mind really." He whispered in my ear, his breath tickling my neck. I giggled as he tickled my neck and moved my head so that I was facing him. Before I knew it, my lips were touching his and his hand was gripping my hair passionately. I hardly knew Ryou but I felt so comfortable with him. We carried on kissing until we heard a clatter from the kitchen, and then jumped away from each other abruptly. We looked at each other and laughed, a good nature developing between us.
" By the way, that adverts for the entertainer? You made that didn't you?" I asked, feeling another laugh coming on.
" Yes." He said emotionlessly, obviously not wanting to go into detail about it.
" Haha, that was so lame!" I pointed at him and laughed. He shuffled closer to me, so our faces were touching again.
" It brought you to me though" He said, leaning in for a kiss again.
Being a mew mew won't be too bad.
