CHAPTER 1: Family
"Please do not squirm, Miss Aoyama." A calm voice asked.
Cherry Aoyama opened her eyes and looked around the secret lab. She saw her mother and father standing in one corner and Ryou Shirogane standing in another; but most of all she saw the long needle that Keiichiro Akasaka was holding up to her. Cherry squinted; she hated the idea of that thing going into her.
"Honey it's all-right, let Keiichiro do his job." Ichigo whispered slipping to Cherry's side. Cherry nodded, shut her eyes and waited. She felt the needle go through her left leg just above the knee.
When Keiichiro finished injecting Panthera Pardus (Black Leopard) D.N.A into Cherry, both she and Ichigo sighed with relief. Ryou snickered and muttered to himself. He then snuck up on Cherry, clamped his hands on her shoulders and screeched in her ear. Cherry screamed as cat ears and a cat tail popped out of her.
"Wha -- What are the -- These?" Cherry stuttered. Walking up to a mirror she saw herself and fainted.
"Cherry...Cherry..." Masaya shook his daughter lightly. Cherry sat up and immediately checked the top of her head, and looked behind her.
"Oh ... for a second ... I thought I had a cat tail ... and cat ears." Cherry said rolling her eyes.
Ryou smirked and said, "You did, but it wore off when you fainted."
"Ryou you're still a jerk!" Ichigo snapped, "You shouldn't have scared her half to death to show her that!"
Ryou ignored Ichigo's comment and helped Cherry to her feet.
"You mean I'll have cat ears popping out where my ears should be and a cat tail appearing above my butt!" Cherry cried, stumbling back. "Mom, why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't want you to worry about it." Ichigo defended, glaring at Ryou.
"Err...Maybe we should get going." Mayasa waved motioning Ichigo and Cherry to the door.

A horse whinnied from afar as Cherry, Ichigo, and Masaya pulled into their driveway. Cherry got out of the truck and walked up to the two big geldings.
"Hey Dodge, hey Kiernin." She greeted them happily as she patted their long arched necks. They both greeted her back, with a soft whinnie. Dodge nudged Cherry and Kiernin pawed at the pasture's wired fence.
"I know what that means. You guys want to go on a trail ride, don't ya?" Cherry smiled. "Hey mom, do you want to go on a trail ride through the forest?"
"Sure sweetie." Ichigo answered.
When Cherry and Ichigo had saddled up, they went on their way.
"So, why again did I have to become a super heroine like you?" Cherry asked, looking up from Dodge.
"Well, you know all the stories I've told you, since you were little. Like, when I was your age I---" Ichigo started.
"Yah, I know, but ... I thought Kish and his friends were ... done terrorizing earth?" Cherry interrupted.
"Me too, but just last week Keiichiro was looking over one of his computer monitors, that shows what goes on in the atmosphere, and ... he saw their ship coming towards earth. They're back and we don't know why." Ichigo answered with concern.
During their ride, Ichigo and Cherry's path had come to a point where it split, so they decided to go different ways then meet back.
"Okay mom, see ya in half an hour." Cherry called as she trotted off to the left path. "Come on Dodge, let's go to the stream." Cherry urged Dodge into a slow canter by slightly kicking him in the barrel. (His side)
When they got to the stream, Cherry hopped off Dodge and tied him to a tree next to the flowing water. Dodge stooped down to take a drink. Cherry smiled at him; she remembered when Dodge and her would come to the stream all the time, but now she hardly ever got to ride her beloved horse. All the sudden Dodge looked up past Cherry and his ears fell flat on his skull. He snorted and pawed the earth under his hoof. Before Cherry could look behind her, she heard a loud 'hiss'. Dodge broke the reins off the branch and went to her side. Cherry turned around to see the biggest snake she had ever seen. She wasn't even sure it was a snake, because it looked as if it should be in one of the monster movies that she watches in October.
"Dodge, let's get out of here!" Cherry yelled as she jumped to her feet, but Dodge stood his ground; he had always taken on the challenges of other animals.
"Move you dumb horse!" Cherry shouted frantically. She pushed him, but instead of moving away he reared and charged at the huge beast. Dodge galloped full speed toward the snake. The monster went to strike at him with it's gigantic fangs, but Dodge evaded the attack and kept going.
Cherry was terrified to see that the snake was almost as tall as a skyscraper.
"Stop! Whoa!" Cherry cried as loud as she could, trying to stop the charge, but it failed. She looked away, she just couldn't see her best friend get ripped to pieces by one swipe of the snake's tail. Then all the sudden Cherry felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't you want to protect your horse?" A boy's voice said calmly. Cherry turned around to see a blonde - haired boy, a bit older then her, standing beside her.
"Who -- who are you?" Cherry faltered as she spoke and tears streamed down her face.
"My name is Hidaki Shirogane. Now beat that monster," Hidaki answered, urging Cherry to her feet. "You're a mew mew now, remember."
"How'd you know? Who are you ---" Cherry was interrupted by a hard push toward the snake.
The ground beneath her shook and a bright light shrouded her. Cherry closed her eyes, she was feeling a strange tingly sensation come over her. When she opened her eyes she didn't look the same. In stead of her plain T-shirt and riding breeches, she was wearing a frilly pink and red colored dress. Her paddock boots were replaced with tall pink and red boots and a black choker necklace, with a pendant hanging from it, wrapped around her neck. Also her cat ears and cat tail popped out, only this time the tail had a pink and red bow tied on it.
"What the!" Cherry exclaimed as she stared at her self in disbelief.
"Save your horse!" The boy yelled. Cherry came back to reality and started in the direction of the monster.
"Wait a minute, how am I supposed to fight this thing without a weapon?" Cherry asked, freezing in her steps.
"Don't worry it will come to you." Hidaki reassured. Cherry started walking again, she had gotten 'some' confidence from Hidaki's words.
"Maybe I can do this ..." Cherry thought to her self.
Dodge still raced forward, charging the snake, by now he was about a quarter away from it.
"Whoa!" Cherry commanded. Dodge put his ears back as if he was listening. "Whoa!" She commanded again. Dodge then abruptly stopped ten feet away from his target. The snake hissed as Cherry ran in front of her horse. The monster went to strike.
"It'll come to me. It'll come to me." Cherry mumbled to her self.
The snake got closer.
"It'll come to me. It'll come to me!" Cherry said, louder.
The snake got even closer.
"It'll come to me! It'll come to me!" Cherry was now frantically saying.
The snake was about to get her when she shouted.
"Trillium Spear!" A tall spear, with a Trillium flower wrapped around it, appeared in her hands and a bright light burst from the tip of it. Cherry watched as the snake turned away to escape the attack, but instead got hit, directly and disintegrated. A weird-looking jellyfish jumped from a small snake and floated off.
Cherry heard a yelp from behind her, she turned around to see the boy leap for joy. She felt kind of good herself, after all, Dodge was safe now.
Cherry jumped when she heard a rustle in the bushes beside her. She turned to see if Hidaki was still around, but saw that he had disappeared. She took a step backwards as a figure came out of the bushes. It took Cherry a second to control her fear and realize, her mom and Kiernin were right in front of her.
"Are you all right? I heard a loud noise and decided to ---" Ichigo stared blankly at her daughter then finally said. "Cherry you're --- you're in your mew outfit and ... everything?"
"Yah," Cherry replied. "Dodge and me ... had a little run-in with a ... a snake."
Ichigo dismounted from Kiernin and slowly walked up to Cherry. Cherry tried to give her mom a hug, but she was still shaken up from the battle; so it was a very shaky hug.
"Come on, let's get back to the house." Ichigo said calmly as she helped Cherry mount on Dodge.
