Hello! This is my first fanfic, so I hope you'll enjoy. Please don't flame me!
Disclaimer: I do not own Tokyo Mew Mew. If I did, Masaya would have the label 'Dork' posted on his forehead.
Chapter 1: The End of a Battle, the Start of a New Adventure
"Ribbon Mint Echo!" was what sounded through the forest. Looking closer beyond the trees, five teen girls stood in front of a large monster. The monster was a kirema anima. It was strange. Even though the aliens were gone, animas have still been showing up, coming more and more all the time. The girl who had yelled had bright blue hair, and was holding some sort of heart arrow with wings. Her hair was in two buns, perfectly round on each side of her head, and had wings and a bird's tail. She was the Mew Mew Mint.
"Ribbon Lettuce Rush!" yelled another one of the girls. She had bright green hair, and a matching green outfit. The weapons she was holding, two green sphere-shaped things with a symbol on each. This girl was none other than Lettuce.
"Pudding Ring Inferno!" came another cry. This one was from a younger girl. Her hair was a bright yellow, and she was holding two rings. With monkey ears and a tail, she was wearing a slightly darker shade of yellow. This Mew Mew was Pudding.
"Ribbon Zakuro's Pure!" was another yell. This one came from Zakuro, a brightly purple haired teen. She had on a violet outfit, and held a cross that had turned into a whip-like weapon, and she had wolf ears and a wolf tail.
"Strawberry Check!" was the attack that finished the monster off. That cry came from none other than Ichigo, the leader of the group. She had bright pink hair and a matching outfit. The weapon she was holding was shaped like a heart, and had a little bow-looking thing on it. On top of her head were black cat ears, and she had a matching black tail.
As they changed back to their human appearances and started walking back to the café, Ichigo wiped her forehead.
"I sure hope Ryou is happy with this, he really needs to cut us some slack once in a while." She said sighing, and the others just nodded in agreement.
"He's been giving us nothing but nonstop missions all week." Mint complained as she walked next to Zakuro.
As they finally entered Café Mew Mew, they all went into the back room. Minutes later, they came out about one at a time, walking to tables and taking orders. Just as Pudding was about to try a new, even more dangerous trick, Ryou came running from the basement.
"Emergency meeting," was all that he said before walking back down the steps.
The girls sluggishly made their way down the basement steps. They knew that this could only mean another mission. When they were all huddled around, Ryou told them the big news.
"WHAT!" Ichigo yelled, utterly astonished.
"That's right," Ryou said simply. "A new Mew."
"But, you said that you used only five endangered species samples." Lettuce said, thinking with a worried look.
"I know, we did only used five," Ryou had walked over to the computer that Keiichiro was at. "Apparently, there was some kind of after fire, which we've only been able to detect by now. I'm guessing that it was waiting for something."
"Why would a new member just show up now? The aliens are gone. I mean, we should have even lost our powers." Mint remarked.
"It is quite strange, I'm not really sure of it myself." Keiichiro spoke up at this point, turning to all of them. "All we've been able to tell is that she attends you school, Ichigo."
"How do we find her?" Pudding asked, hopping around at all the excitement.
"All we can think to do will really be up to Ichigo," Ryou said, turning to her. "You'll have to investigate you're school, look for new students, ask people about anything they find suspicious, whatever you can do to uncover something."
"So basically this is like another mission?" Ichigo said, sighing as she already knew the answer. She had school the next day, so she figured she might as well get started by asking Masaya. She had wanted to see him anyway.
Just that moment they heard the café doors open. Ichigo hurried up the stairs, the other girls following after her. Ichigo walked over to the front doors, seeing Masaya standing there.
"Oh, hi Masaya." She said to him.
"Hey, how's everything going?" He looked over and smiled.
"Really great," she walked over, and the girls continued to work as complaints came in. Everyone except Mint, of course. It was time for her afternoon tea. "Hey, Masaya…" Ichigo started, and Masaya looked at her with a 'what is it?' expression. "Is there a new girl at school?"
He thought about this for a moment. "Not that I know of…" he continued to think. "Actually," he said after a while. "I think there was a girl wandering around, and she looked kinda lost. Maybe you can start with her." Ichigo nodded.
"This late in the year it would be really strange for people to get lost." She agreed.
"Waitress!" someone called. Ichigo immediately turned, seeing that Pudding just broke a bunch of plates doing a trick, and that Lettuce had a difficult time cleaning without tripping. "I'll be right there," she said after sweat dropping. She then turned back to Masaya.
"Sorry, gotta get to work." She said.
"No problem, club has practice later, so I'll see you then?" He sort of half asked this, because he then turned after waving. Ichigo waved back and turned after he disappeared through the doors.
She sighed. It was going to be a looooong day.
Rikku: Well? What do you think?
Kish: Hmm…I think you should put me in it.
Rikku: I told you, you probably won't show up until a later chapter. (Note: Probably, I'm still in the process of thinking past the third chapter.)
Kish: ……I still think I should be in it.
Please R&R! Again, first fanfic so don't flame me if you didn't love it!
