How horrible. Not only was the weather on her birthday stormy and rainy, she didn't even get that Edo stuffy she asked for.
Oh, were Haruko and Mina (mainly Haruko) going to be pissed when they find out Yuzu ditched them for her father's boring Chimera Study Establishment.
--
Yuzu had to admit, she had never actually been inside MYUU. Only outside, and even better, not even in the vicinity. She now knew why, Yuzu hated places with a lot of people. Unfortunately, this place was packed with people.
The two Shiroganes strolled down a hallway, many of them recognized Ryou as their boss, and Yuzu heard a lot of "Ohayo, Shirogane-sensei!"
"Uhh...dad?" she finally spoke up.
"Yes?"
Yuzu coughed, and covered her mouth. "Why exactly did you drag me here?" She didn't want to exaggerate, but the word 'drag' seemed most appropriate to describe how she came here.
Ryou glanced at her, and back ahead. "I...have something that I'm afraid I need to show you. It's very important."
Yuzu sighed, and looked around. 'Then why didn't you just bring it home..!' she thought, annoyed. She spoke up again. Perhaps she could get even a little closer to her distant father. "What do you want to show me?" she said, and a yawn escaped her mouth at the end.
Yuzu paused for a moment. Why was she sleepy all the a sudden? She was always getting up early, and staying up late, everyday of the week; So why was she so tired. 'I need a naaaaaap.' she moaned in her thoughts.
Ryou smirked, and rested his aquamarine eyes "Hmm..you'll see."
--
So they finally got to Ryou's office. Yuzu's head was hurting; She didn't think she could stand her father's "The Shirogane family, blah blah blah... your grandfather actually had discovered blah blah blah... I myself have been proclaimed blah blah blah..." rants in the elevator.
Along the way to Ryou's office, there was a small desk, where a woman was. "Is she his secretary? Probably.." Yuzu dully thought.
The woman was wearing a casual work outfit, not like the other scientists clad in heavy white lab jackets. She had bright blue eyes that would put dad to shame, and dirty blonde hair sitting on her shoulders. The woman looked atleast 10 years younger then dad, but maybe she was actually 35 or so...and looked young. Hmm...
"Good Morning, Dr. Shirogane!" she chirped, like it was a morning ritual, and she did it enough for it to become automatic.
"'Morning, Rainomiya-san. I brought my daughter with me" he replied, shoving Yuzu forward slightly. "Yuzu, this is Rainomiya Fuu, my secretary."
The woman tilted her head slightly "Ah, Yuzu-chan! Dr. Shirogane has told us a lot about you!". Yuzu froze when she saw that, and gave her oh-so-loved father the glare of death. Ryou gestured back with a "Make a scene and you're SO DEAD." look.
Ryou looked at his wrist, though it was just a bare wrist, and hurried. "Well, Rainomiya-san, we have important business to attend to. See you later!"
Ryou casually stepped into his office, and Yuzu peered in before she entered. Well, it was rather big for an 'office', as there was a whole big table with microscopes, large machines she couldn't identify, and many sheets of paper. Yuzu picked up a piece of paper, and started to read, but it was snatched away by Ryou.
"That...you can't read." he said nonchalantly, collecting all the papers. Yuzu merely glared back, why did her fathers work have to be such a secret from his family? Maybe he just thought they wouldn't understand. Yuzu knew she most likely wouldn't, achieving an oh-so-excellent mark of C+ in science at the moment, and all.
The elder man faced a large window, which provided him with a view of the whole building, and many other parts to Tokyo. "Yuzu...MYUU has been more popular lately then any other time. People seem to be more interested in chimeras and biological transmutation then ever. Recently, however... something has been corrupting infusion. We have done tests of energy waves in the air, and we detected something strange in the air. We've identified them as...U.F.O.s (A.N.: Lolz. UFOZ OMGWTFBBQ?)"
Yuzu froze for a minute. "You mean...aliens..?" she weakly said. Like Kureipu's irrational fear of ghosts, Yuzu hated the thought of beings living on distant planets.
Ryou turned around to face her. "Yes. I believe you may..want to look at this.." Resting sky eyes, Ryou handed Yuzu, a photograph. It was a 5 girls, looking around Yuzu's age; the majority of them we're younger then her. They had shiny, sophisticated, but cute oufits on, and...animal attributes? There we're also two men with them, one a teenager, and one a man at least in her 20s. What was this, a halloween photoshoot?
She then looked closer, and then came to a realisation; She had seen these girls before. They were...Tokyo Mew Mew! She had seen the teenage boy before too, because.. He was standing in front of her. "Tou-san...this is.." she said, confused. Why a picture of Tokyo Mew Mew of all people to be in a picture that her father has!
Yuzu, and Ryou were interrupted when they heard glasse shatter, and a colossal blast of wind blow by them.
Standing (Or, in this case, the more appropriate word would be "floating") by the now shattered window were our 3 beloved aliens.
Kureipu's head titled slightly, and he deviously chirped "Yoooo."
Before anyone could do anything, the door violently opened.
"Shirogane-sensei! What's going--" the secretary started to say, but was interrupted by Ryou grabbing for something on his desk.
"Yuzu, here!" he said in a rushed fashion, and threw the item at his daughter.
It was... a yellow pendant with pink designs? Why again did her father have this on his desk? Whatever, her father was full of surprises. She then experienced something strange. Words we're starting to form in her head as she held the pendant, and her brain told her mouth to say them.
"Mew Mew Citrus, ME-TA-MORPHO-SIS!"
A giant flash of light temporarily blinded Ryou, Rainomiya, and the aliens, and then it died down.
..to reveal Yuzu, or a being who they thought was Yuzu, at least.
Yuzu remained silent for a moment, absorbing all this new information, and finally made a comment.
"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!"
