Ten

Mew's eyes fluttered when she woke up. Her eyes were wide and curious, her mouth in a small little gap you'd see on an aroused child. She sat up, sitting on her calves that were slightly spread out. She stared in awe at the room around her. She never saw a room quite like this before…EVER. The heard the door open and looked over to see a thirteen-year-old with pink shoulder hair that seemed she just got out of bed and yellow pajamas. Mew smiled and waved, making the girl blink. "Wow you really hit your head," the girl blinked.

Mew took that as a 'who are you', so she presented a hand. "Mew!"

"OH CR*P!" the girl yelled. "IKUTO!"

Mew blinked, the smile fading into a confused frown and her eyes slightly watering. Why was the girl yelling? Did Mew do something wrong? A tall guy with midnight hair came in, his eyes deep blue and looking up and down at Mew, making the poor girl even more confused and close to tears. "Mew?"

The guy slapped his forehead. "Jeez…she really hit her head huh?" The girl nodded. The guy sighed and walked over, sitting next to her on the bed. Mew blinked and the guy smirked at her. Mew didn't get it, yet she smiled. "Hey. Do you remember us?" Mew shook her head at hearing 'remember'. The guy leaned in. "Well, I'm your boy-"

The girl jerked him back. "DON'T YOU DARE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HER!"

Mew cocked her head to the side and then caught sight of a butterfly out of the window. Her mouth widened into an open smile and her wide, innocent eyes glistened with the sparkling sunlight. The girl went up to her and smiled. Mew smiled and tackled her, laughing and tickling her. The girl was laughing out of control. The guy…he looked envious that the girl was being tickled instead of him. Eventually that had to stop and the girl turned to Mew. Mew's stomach growled, so the boy pushed the girl back a little and hugged her shoulders. "Why don't we get you something to eat, huh?" he smirked.

Mew nodded happily and the girl jerked the guy away once again, grabbing Mew's wrist and dragging her down to a kitchen. Mew sat in a chair (wooden thingy with sticks) and happily twiddled her thumbs much like Kaede/Lucy at the time she saw Ami. Only this time she had her tongue in her cheek, concentrating like it was some huge contest of sorts. The boy sat next to her, but not for long since the girl jerked his chair back and filled the vacant spot with her own, setting a plate with two pieces of buttered toast on it in front of the clueless side personality. Mew ate through the whole plate happily, nearly eating the plate to if not for the girl restraining her wrist. Mew got a clue for once and set the plate down, staring around the kitchen in wonder. Everything was so casual (pretty) that she could barely take her wide red-pink eyes off of the whole thing. That is until she caught the sight of a 'little person' floating, a green cooking outfit on. Mew cheered and ran over, staring at the little thing with wide eyes.

"Mew!" she cheered, clapping her hands.

The little person laughed and turned to the girl. "Amu-cha, where's Lucy?"

'Amu' pointed to Mew. A pink cheerleader 'little person' and a blue artist 'little person' flew up as well, smiling at Mew. "Aw…" the pink one stuffs her face in tiny pom-poms. "She's so cute!"

"Ran, she's the same as Lucy," the blue one blinks.

'Ran' didn't seem to care. Mew fell onto her calves and started tracing things into the carpet out of boredom, which made the three little people freeze. "Mew!" Mew smiled and cocked her head to the side, her eyes hidden. 'Amu' walked over to see that she drew a light heart in the carpet with her nail with 'K+M' in there. "Who's 'K'?"

Mew froze and blinked her slightly confused eyes. She stood up and looked around. "Kota?" Mew heard the room gasp, but she didn't really head it. "Kota? Kota? KOTA?" The more she called her friend's name, the more she felt worried that something bad happened. She twirled in one complete circle and screamed, clutching her head. She couldn't believe she couldn't find him! "KOTA!"

Nobody knew what to do, just that this girl was freaking out, and probably not at the worst extent. Mew fell to her knees, screaming until she was horse, which wasn't for a while. When all she let out was a strong gust of air, she froze and felt tears leak down her cheeks. She wanted to see her friends. The guy came over and patted her back, rubbing it up and down while he was at it. "You want to see this Kota guy?"

Now, I didn't want to, but Mew doesn't listen to ANYTHING. What? You think just because I was knocked out and had a vague clue on what was going on, doesn't mean I'm not still talking (my brain has an OVERLOAD)? Mew just sat there, trying to think up ways to get out of her little 'dilemma'. Sooner or later, Amu got a little magenta pot and placed it in front of Mew, Mew staring at it like the idiot she is. "Come on, they're cookies," Amu smiled warmly.

Oh how Mew loves her cookies. She whipped the top off at the mere mention of the word and smiled once she saw the tiny little cookies. She grabbed one square that had four tiny squares, two diagonally beige with the dough and two diagonally brown with chocolate. She popped it into her mouth and started beaming. It was chewy, and EVERYONE (well, maybe not you) knows that any chewy cookie is a good cookie (come on, I've been in a facility for how long and I know that!). Everything else for the day was pretty much Amu and 'the guy' trying to decide who'd do what, in which Amu got most of the split personality burden because, admit it, the guy is a pedophile.

Yet, that didn't stop him from coming into the room around ten, seeing Mew awake and sitting up in the bed. "Something wrong?" he asked.

Mew looked terrified; the blanket clutched in her hands and held up to the tip of her nose. She was staring at the floor at something, in which the guy (who do you think) found was a mere spider. He sighed and picked it up, opening the window and chucking it out, shutting the window soon after. Mew wasn't convinced, so this gave the guy an idea. He walked next to her and patted the area between the two white horns on her head, so she (of course…) hugged his neck and permitted him to rub her back up and down. She was trembling. "Mew!" she cried, still terrified about a mere spider. She doesn't have arachnophobia even! She's just scared of EVERYTHING!

The guy patted the back of her head. "Relax. It's not going to hurt you."

Mew hugged his neck tighter. "Ko…Kota…" she tried to push away, but the guy obviously was worried she'd do something. "Where Kota?"

He sighed. "Not here right now. I don't even know who you're talking about."

Mew stared at the ceiling and hugged her ribs, shivering. It was about 35 in the room. "C-C-ole…"

"Cold?" he asked. Mew nodded. He smirked and sat in the bed next to her. He opened his arms and Mew crawled into them, shivering like crazy. To be honest, you'd think our body would be used to the cold since it spent years stuck against some metal table put up vertically. He evened his back on the soft bed and Mew curled up with her head and upper torso on his chest, the rest just really close to his side. He had one hand on the back of her head and the left arm was wrapped behind her back and the left hand clutching the left waist, which was pressed against the mattress. "You're okay. No need to worry."

He clutched the waist and Mew nuzzled her head into his chest, falling asleep with multiple snores.

She woke up the next morning, having apparently moved since she had a leg on each side of him and her arms were wrapped around his neck. She jumped off quickly and checked for missing garments, at least I think she was. Who knows, she could've been looking for missing freckles for all the intellect she has? She walked out, nervous, and walked downstairs to find Amu sitting on a couch and reading, a date highlighted on a calendar. Mew walked over to read that the day was a holiday, so she simply shrugged (didn't know she could) and sat there on the kitchen floor, staring up at a shining hook on a pan/pot rack (not 'pot' the drug). The guy came down and chuckled at the sight of Mew, sitting next to her and looking overly happy. That scared Mew, but she was able to restrain the emotions she would've liked to express.

The doorbell rang around lunch, Mew flinging some rice at Ikuto as payback for 'accidentally' (yeah right) dumping rice on her blue checkered skirt, even though he was across the table. Amu answered the door and Mew smiled at the voices. "Hey, have you seen this girl?"

"KOTA!" Mew cheered, rushing out of the seat and to the front, tackling Kota. "KOTA! KOTA! KOTA!"

Kota was taken a back, but then slightly glared at Amu. "Why was she here?"

Amu sighed. "She's my cousin. She came here to visit. She hit her head and now she's…uh…a cat?"

Mew smiled. "MEW!"

The guy (you should know this…) came up and gently pried her off of Kota. "You don't randomly tackle people you know," he chuckles.

Mew just smiled. Kota raised a brow. "Who are you?"

Of course he had to smirk and hug the shoulders of Mew. "Before she hit her head, we were boyfriend and girlfriend."

"IKUTO!" Amu gaped.

Mew was slightly startled by the scream, so she jerked out of Ikuto's grasp and backed up. Why was she yelling? Why was she upset? Kota was red in the face. "Yeah right!"

"Ask her yourself," Ikuto pointed to Mew.

Mew nervously looked down and poked her empty stomach. It felt chubby, so she just HAD to say "Bulge."

Kota sent a full-blown punch to Ikuto's face. Yuka wasn't with him, so yeah. "WHAT THE F*CK DID SHE JUST SAY?"

Mew stared up. What happened? She hugged her ribs and looked around. What would have to happen? She spotted the cookie jar and snuck towards it, horrified as Amu tried to restrain Kota, who tried to pulverize Ikuto for suspected sex (bulge, think about babies and what they look like outside…a bulge). Mew quickly nabbed the jar and set every cookie on a napkin. She huffed and shut her eyes, smashing the jar full-force at her face. "LUCY!" Amu cried.
