Hi people! I know, I know… I haven't updated Codename: Black Cat for a little while. So, why am I starting another fanfic? It's simply because I had an idea for a fanfic, and I was afraid I'd forget it, so… anyway, hope you enjoy! Read and review please!

Disclaimer: I do not own Tokyo Mew Mew or any of its characters. Those belong to Mia Ikumi. I do own a lot of the people in Ichigo's dream.

Chapter 1-A Weird Dream

People were crying. A little girl was walking around, looking.

"Mama-san! Why is everyone crying?" she asked, finding the person she was looking for.

Her answer was only a sob, as the woman hugged her, holding her closer.

"Mama-san…"

It was a year later, to the day. The girl was looking around her house-though it was more like a palace. Looking for someone yet again. She had looked through the entire place, except for one room. She hurried to that room and opened the door…

"No!" Ichigo yelled. She had sweat on her face. It's that stupid dream! She thought. I've been having the dream for… what, 5 days now? But I can't remember any of it… She looked at the clock.

"Oh CRUD!" she shrieked. It was 7:30. Just GREAT! I'm gonna be late for school, AGAIN! She rushed out of bed and made it to school at 8:06.

During school she got in more trouble, because of her dream. She couldn't help but think about the mystery of the dream, so when she was called on she wasn't paying attention. After school, she hurried to Café Mew Mew and actually got there on time.

"I guess there's a first for everything," Mint commented. Ichigo, panting, told her to shut up and quickly changed into her work uniform.

As normal, she was the one who worked the most. The only ones who worked were really Zakuro and herself, and maybe Purin typed on the register with her feet, but still… mostly Purin was making a mess, and Zakuro didn't really clean up, because she couldn't afford to get dirty.

As Ichigo was cleaning a table, she heard something. Someone was… crying? She looked up, but she didn't hear it anymore. She looked back down, confused, and continued cleaning the table. Then she heard it again. The same crying, of the same sorrow and woe. Again she looked up, but there was no one crying.

Why do I keep hearing this? Ichigo wondered. She had looked back down when she heard the crying again. This time, in her head, someone was there. The back of a head… Ichigo knew who it was, but couldn't place it… her head started to hurt. Just before her vision became black, she heard… something…

Ryou's POV

It was a normal day at Café Mew Mew, except that Ichigo was on time. Ryou scanned the city for any signs of alien activity and found nothing. Keiichiro asked Ryou to help him in the kitchen, so he did. After that Ryou scanned the city again. He supposed he was paranoid about it, but he couldn't be too careful. When he walked downstairs, he saw Ichigo, holding a washcloth in her hand but not cleaning the table. He decided to tell her to get working.

As soon as he walked up to her, he started to speak. Then Ichigo fainted. Ryou caught her before she hit the floor.

"Retasu!" he called, and the green-haired girl hurried along, gasping as she saw Ichigo. "Help me get Ichigo up to my room!" Please let Ichigo be okay, he thought.
