STILL LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO SELLS TOKYO MEW MEW
Mew Mew Metamorphosis
Chapter Twelve: Brace's Emerald
Author's Note: I don't own Tokyo Mew Mew, nor do I particularly like this chapter, but my sister's friend liked it so I'll post it anyhow:
Ichigo walked down the street as a light rain began to fall. What was wrong with her? Shouldn't she be happy? Aoyama-kun evidently had some feelings for her. So why, whenever she started thinking about Aoyama, did Shirogane's image appear in her head?
Ichigo turned the corner, she had never felt so awful in her whole life. She hadn't been to the Café for three days, and she wasn't going to start going now.
"Ichigo, what's wrong? What's wrong?" Masha flew up beside Ichigo, it's wings having to work twice as hard to stay afloat in the poor weather.
The girl ignored the small robot, it was just another reminder she didn't need of her newer life style. She was sick of it; saving the world on top of trying to keep a social life and sane emotional status. It wasn't fair, Ichigo Momomiya had never volunteered for this, why did it have to be her DNA that matched up with that of the Irimote cat's?
"Ichigo! Alien! Alien!" Masha pulled itself in front of Ichigo in warning.
Ichigo didn't pay any attention to Masha, even though it repeated its warning several times.
The rain thickened, hitting the ground with much force, Deep puddles cluttered the walks and formed in the crevices of plants. The smell of wet dirt and falling water reached Ichigo's nose as she entered the park.
After trying to get the girl's attention for a few minutes, Masha scowled in displeasure and flew off. Ichigo didn't notice. -----------------------------------------
"What's that?" Mint stared up from her teacup and looked at the far window, "something's hitting against the pane over there." The girl pointed with one delicate finger.
"Eh, probably a lost little bird, na no da!" Pudding listened to the banging for a second, "should we let it in?"
"What a disaster that would be." Mint took a small drink and looked at the blonde girl in front of her, "it's a bird," she smiled, "it'll be fine, I would know."
"You're right! Na no da!" Pudding continued to sweep the floor.
"That's cruel!" Lettuce ran over to the window and opened it, allowing the creature to fly in. "Masha!" she exclaimed on seeing a soaking wet ball of pink drag itself into the Café, only a few inches above the ground.
The robot fell onto a chair, "Ichigo...alien...alien...trouble..." the big- eyed creature barely managed to get its words out, "park...alien...alien..."
Kami came over to Masha and scooped it up with one hand. Walking into the kitchen area, she set the drenched thing down in front of Ryou, who was sitting quietly to himself.
Kami grabbed the doorknob to the backdoor and began to turn it, "Ichigo's in some sort of trouble, according to your little fluff ball, there." Kami shut the back door behind herself. ---------------------------------------------------
A few minutes later the four other mew mews and Kami were in the park, looking around for Ichigo. Unfortunately, they weren't having much luck in locating her.
"Ichigo onee-san is missing." Mew Pudding began to look inside all of the bushes lining the path.
"Any luck?" Mew Lettuce turned to Zakuro and Mint as they both returned from separate searches.
"No." Mint looked almost sad, "not a trace."
"Me either." Zakuro walked away to look by herself.
Mew Kami began to wander off from the rest of the group. She could feel Ichigo's presence...where was she?
"This is hurting my head." The Tasmanian tiger sat down on a log half- heartedly.
"We can't give up." A faintly familiar voice spoke out from behind Mew Kami, scaring her enough to make her fall over.
"About time you showed up." She looked over at the Blue Knight, her voice somewhat cold, "you shouldn't scare people like that, it's bad for their health." Mew Kami raised herself to her feet.
The Blue Knight didn't say anything, he just simply walked past the girl and began to help in the search for Ichigo.
Mew Kami scowled after him, "be that way." She muttered dryly. With obvious anger she stalked forward ahead of him, for a moment anyway.
"K...K...Keiko?" the tiger stopped dead in her tracks and looked up. "Keiko-chan, what are you doing here?"
"What are you still doing here?"
Mew Kami looked uneasily over her shoulder at the Blue Knight and the approaching girls behind him. "My mission..." she started.
"Your mission?!" the girl called Keiko walked out of the shadows, her arms folded in disapproval, "your mission was to find out more about the Japanese operation of Project Mew! Not to make friends and twiddle your time away at some cutesy Café!"
Keiko was actually rather pretty, in many people's opinion. She had long, pastel green hair that flowed evenly all the way down to her ankles. Her eyes were an intense hi-liter pink and she was rather tall. The thing that was most noticeable, however, was her Mew Mew uniform.
She had a short, emerald-colored skirt on and a thin-sleeved top of neon green. The shirt exposed most of her midriff and had laces (like a shoe) strung through the middle of it. Instead of the customary two arm bands, she only had one, and two on her legs. Keiko, or rather, Mew Keiko, had long, jade boots.
The Blue Knight's eyes widened, "mission?" he asked to no one, his voice hinting fury, "what mission?"
"Who is she, Na no da?" Mew Pudding sounded frightened, "that lady in green?"
"She's not the only one we should be asking about." Zakuro glared in the direction of Mew Kami.
Mew Keiko pretended not to hear the comments given on her and Mew Kami's discussion, "Kira sent me. She wants your report. I hope you have a good reason why you're so late in returning, Kira's pretty angry."
Mew Kami smiled, "isn't she always? I have plenty good reason, but..." the girl turned to look over her shoulder, "I'd rather not discuss that right now. If you'd like to know, I suggest you wait a day or two."
"Fine, but are you sure your new friends will let you come back."
"Of course, all of them will want to ask me all sorts of questions, now that you're here. Maybe accuse me. By the way..." Mew Kami still saw the worry in the Blue Knight's eyes, "have you seen a girl? About this tall? Pigtails?"
Keiko, who had returned back to normal, looked up in surprise, "yeah, she ran home crying about some boy thing or another about an hour ago."
"An hour ago?" Pudding' s face dropped, "we came out here for nothing?"
"What a waste of time." Mint added. ----------------------------
Ryou's fingers flew over the computer's keys as he began to research Mew Keiko.
"Found anything?" Keiichirou questioned in a serious tone.
"Mm." Ryou nodded and brought up a new screen, "that girl is definitely one of the Blue DNA creatures." He paused, enlarging the picture in front of him, "It's known as Brace's Emerald, a kind of humming bird. Mew Keiko had the same tail and wings on her back when she was transformed."
Shirogane began to go through information he had brought up on the creature, "not much is known about it. The only recorded citing was of a single male found in New Providence. Bones were also found near the town of Nassau, as well. But that's about it."
The screen went blank as Ryou stood up, "but we have more important things to do..."
Akasaka nodded in agreement.
The two walked upstairs to find all the lights turned off. The girls must've had to go home for one reason or another.
Keiichirou raised a hand and signaled for Ryou to stop, "listen." He whispered into the stillness.
There were voices coming from the serving room. One was the familiar sound of Kami; the other was probably Keiko.
Ryou and Akasaka decided to 'eavesdrop' on the conversation. Both girl's voices were raised above the normal volume.
"Kami, what's your excuse?"
"My excuse?" Kami's eyes narrowed.
"Yes. Your excuse for staying here. You were supposed to be back two months ago...!"
"The Knights..." Kami looked away from Keiko's bright pink eyes, "I believe a lot of them live here in Japan. It might've been my mission to investigate the readings we received from this Café back in America, but it's also my mission to protect the..."
"Knights?" Keiko seemed unconvinced, "so, you found the Blue Knight? How do you know the others are here as well? We found the Knight of Orange and Crimson back in Michigan! Tell me why you really have been staying here."
Kami looked down, sensing Keiko's disapproval, "you already know the answer to that. I'd waste air telling you."
Keiko's voice quieted down a bit, "you've grown to like the people at this Café, haven't you?" Her eyebrows were knitted together, not so much in anger, but confusion.
"It's just that..." Kami trailed off, in search of explanation, "there...happier...here. It's not always just business and fighting constantly. You saw how worried they were when that girl, Ichigo, disappeared. Not like back home with Kira. None of us have any compassion for one another, we just do what we're told because we're the only ones who can save humanity. We only do it because she says we're destined to. I know you might not understand, Keiko, but..."
Keiko dropped her anger and walked over to Kami. "I don't understand. But I'll try, I suppose. Just don't go to hard on Kira, if it weren't for her you wouldn't even be here in Japan, anyways."
Kami smiled, "you two can come out now." She called into the shadows, "just as long as Keiko can come and work at the restaurant for a while, too.
Ryou and Akasaka slowly edged out into the room, both somewhat embarrassed that they had been discovered.
"I never said I wanted to work here!" Keiko argued.
"I know you were thinking it."
"I wasn't! Aho! You can't just make decisions for people!"
"I just did." Kami retorted.
Ryou smiled, everything was back to normal, as normal as it could go.
