But still there's nothing like grabbing a Coke' and forcing myself to try to type the rest of this chapter! Also, this chapter is dedicated to Kurisuten Ichikish, I'm glad I finally got that tenth review! I hope everybody likes this chapter, I worked extra long on it! Oh, yeah, by the way, I don't own anything except the OC's!
Chapter 2 What Father Called Tokyo Mew Mew
The rest of the day went by normally for Ringo and Sekkai. Well… at least until after school…
Ringo and Sekkai usually met up after school and walked home together. It wasn't until halfway home Sekkai remembered her dream she had.
"Hey, Ringo, I had a pretty weird dream today, howabout you?" she said open mindedly.
It wasn't until Sekkai said that that Ringo remembered his dream from earlier when he was knocked out by the football. Normally he wasn't interested in anything weird so even though he was screaming on the inside, he tried to pretend he didn't care.
"Oh, really…" Ringo said casually.
"Aren't you going to ask me what it was about?" Sekkai asked with an exasperated look.
"Oh, sure," Ringo replied.
"Alright, so I was in some kind of dark place with these weird lights and… and… oh, yeah! This cat thingy came up to me and started talking to me… which cats aren't supposed to do… anyway then, it started telling me it was me," Sekkai said in her usual messy explanations.
"Hmmm, a cat?" Ringo said as his interest sparked.
"Yeah, it was black and had spots," Sekkai said hopefully.
"I think I had a dream kinda like that," Ringo said trying not to get excited about anything even though on the inside he was screaming "HOLY CRUD!! I DID TOO!! THIS IS TOO FREAKY!!"
"Really?" Sekkai asked with even more hope swelling up inside of her.
"Yeah, but it told me I was something that started with an 'M' but never finished what it said," Ringo stated as simply as he could.
"Oh, well, my little kitty thingy told me that there was a kitty thingy inside of mom and that's how it got inside of me," Sekkai said, "You think this could all be real?"
"Pffft, not hardly! It's just a dream, not real life," Ringo said with a shrug even though on the inside he was screaming, "I THINK ALL OF IT WAS TRUE!!"
"I guess you're right," Sekkai shrugged like it was nothing even though her face looked sad.
Ringo knew things couldn't get any weirder, right? Even though Sekkai was usually the one freaking about all the weird stuff happening to them, such as, having alien attributes (such as pointy ears, super pale skin, and oddly colored hair). Ringo knew something was up.
But the cat told him something about him being an "M", Sekkai thought to herself, Poor Ringo, he's probably determined now to find out what "M" is supposed to be. He just can't back off from a challenge, can he?
Ringo was nosy when it came to finding out almost anything. Usually he wasn't so excited about things like that but when it came to which hot cheerleader likes which football player he couldn't help but sticking his nose in.
In fact as Sekkai was going through her train of thought, Ringo was going practically insane.
"M"! "M"! What could start with an "M"?!, he mentally shouted, Moon? No that's in the sky… Moo? No, that's the sound a cow makes… Man? I'm already a man ... well, sort of…What could it be?!
The rest of their walk home pretty much ended up with Ringo trying to think of every word in the dictionary that starts with M even though he so far had a C minus in English. Sekkai was trying to think that something was going to cool was going to happen to them.
She already knew that her father was an alien and Sekkai and her brother were half alien. She had inherited the pointy ears, green hair, and pale skin from her father, Kish, and Ringo had inherited Kish's pointy ears, amber-yellow eyes, and fangs from him but neither of them had inherited his powers… But having some of his physical traits only made it harder for both Ringo and Sekkai. They always had to where hats, earmuffs, or just make up excuses about deformities to make people get off of their backs.
Sekkai just wanted more than pointy ears and pale skin. She wanted to have power that others didn't but she wanted to share it with someone else, so her brother would be perfect…
Inside of a certain pink café we know as Café Mew Mew, a certain blonde's son is snooping where he shouldn't be…
Sai just couldn't help but go in his father's old computer room. As he crept near the gray door, he shifted his sapphire blue eyes to every possible way an intruder might be following. His white-blonde hair was slightly damp with nervous sweat. He knew if his father caught him in his old room that he would be in extreme trouble… But Sai wanted to know why he would be in trouble…
Sai inched his way into the room. It was a computer lab/bedroom room. It had a layer of dust over everything. There was one big computer in which its screen was black signifying being off and unplugged. There was an old bed that hadn't been used in years.
Sai walked around to the side of the computer and found the bulky plug to it. Not to far from the plug was an outlet where Sai concluded that it used to be plugged into. Sai did just what he thought he should do and plugged it into the outlet. The big computer screen flickered on and the monitor whirred from not being used in decades. There was an old, dusty swivel chair at the computer desk where Sai sat down as a puff of dust floated up from the seat. The computer finally finished loading the home screen where Sai clicked on the file button. He looked through there and clicked on various things which Sai knew he shouldn't have. Finally, Sai found a file titled, "Tokyo Mew Mew Project". Sai couldn't help but click his mouse, and open the file.
Pictures of six girls flashed on the screen, each of them wore their own color. They had weird animal attributes that Sai had never recognized in his life. Then, as Sai read through his father's notes everything became clearer to him. This Mew Mew project was a project his father had made to use to save the world. Sai could only let his mouth hang open for many moments later.
"Sai!" he heard his mother call, "You need to come and clean your room!"
Typical mothers, Sai thought to himself as he snuck out of the old lab.
It wouldn't be long until Sai was back in there, he had promised himself to research what his father called Tokyo Mew Mew.
Sekkai stared at herself in her mirror. What she wanted the most to happen was to have some cool super power or any power at all to be exact. Even if her father was an alien she didn't inherit any of his powers which was a let-down for her. She sulked as she stared at her brown eyes… They had changed somehow though, upon further inspection, Sekkai's face lit up because her eyes had changed from looking exactly like her mother's to having cat-like pupils. Sekkai only had round pupils like every human did but she stared at her newly changed eyes. Could it be a trick of her mind though? Sekkai pushed all of her bad thoughts away as she stared at her eyes.
I can't wait to show Ringo! Finally, something not normal finally happened! Sekkai thought as she bounced around on her bed.
As Sekkai approached Ringo's door, he burst out of there like a killer was after him.
"SEKKAI!!" he screamed, "Something's wrong with me!!"
"Let me take a look," Sekkai said calmly as Ringo lifted his hands from atop his head.
Two black, furry cat ears popped out from under Ringo's cupped hands. His yellowish eyes were full of panic as he stared at a furry cat tail peaked from behind him.
"I'm mutating! Now I'm gonna have to move to some freak-show school full of freakier people and I won't be able to play football again!" Ringo wailed like a toddler.
"Oh, it's nothing, something like this has happened to me except I've got cat-eyes, but not cat ears," Sekkai said as she poked Ringo's new ears.
"Don't!" Ringo wined as he covered his ears.
"Cry baby!" Sekkai teased, "Or more like scaredy cat!"
"But I'm not scared?" Ringo said.
"But you're a cat," Sekkai replied, "We've better find out how to get rid of those ears before mom or dad notices."
"I wish I had cat eyes instead of the rest of the cat features," Ringo said, "They're probably not nearly as hard enough to put up with."
"Hush," Sekkai said, "Now, try imagining yourself without cat ears or a cat tail."
Ringo squeezed his eyes shut and tried his hardest, "I can't! I'm too distracted!"
"Well, by what? Maybe if we get rid of it, you could focus," Sekkai said as she was ready to help.
"For one thing, it's you breathing down my neck! You breathe loud," Ringo said.
"I do not breathe that loud!" Sekkai argued, "But I'll take a few steps back if you're so distracted."
Sekkai stood practically across the hall before Ringo was comfortable enough. He still said he was distracted by her breathing.
"If it's that loud, maybe it's those stupid ears! Just ignore it and try harder!" Sekkai half-shouted.
"Fine! Just stop yelling so loud!" Ringo said as he plugged his cat ears.
"I'm across the room, and I'm hardly yelling at all!" Sekkai said as she lowered the volume of her voice.
"Shut up! I need to focus, remember?" Ringo said as he was trying to mock Sekkai.
Sekkai was about to start yelling but instead took a deep, silent breath and exhaled. Ringo squeezed his eyes shut again and looked like he was on the brink of exploding before his furry cat ears started to retract back in his head along with his tail. His real, pointy ears began to peak around from his red hair.
"Okay, I think it's all gone, is it?" Ringo said with his eyes still shut.
"Yeah, it is!" Sekkai said happily.
"FINALLY!!" Ringo shouted in triumph.
Too bad for Ringo, his ears and tail popped right back out.
"Da-," Ringo started to exclaim.
"Mom! She's coming to the stairs," Sekkai panicked as she interrupted her brother's cursing.
"Yeah, I heard her footsteps, but how did you know?" Ringo said as he stared curiously at his sister.
"I smelled her!" Sekkai said proudly, "I guess I'm the one with the super cool smelling ability, huh?"
Then, Ichigo yelled from the bottom of the stairs, "Is everything all right up there?"
"Uh, yeah, everything's, um, fine!" Ringo said as he nervously as he covered his ears back up with his hands and whispered to Sekkai, "Quick, find a hat!"
Sekkai rummaged
through the coat closet beside Ringo's bedroom door for a hat good
enough to cover Ringo's new ears.
"Fine, but dinner's
almost ready, so you two should put up whatever you're hiding!"
Ichigo said before she walked back to the kitchen.
"Here put this on!" Sekkai said handing Ringo one of her old hats.
Ringo put on the pink and floral printed hat, "No, I can't where this one!"
"Why not? It's a hat isn't it?" Sekkai said as she felt a bit offended.
"It's too girly! I'm still a guy remember? I'm your twin brother, not twin sister!" Ringo said as he tossed the feminine hat back in the closet, "Get me another one!"
"Fine," Sekki said as she dug through the cluttered closet once more, "Here, this is the last hat I'm getting!"
"At least this one isn't all girly and stupid," Ringo said as he put on his baseball cap from last year's baseball season.
"That has isn't stupid, it's actually very expensive!" Sekkai said as she left Ringo for her dinner.
Ringo soon followed Sekkai down the staircase that led to the cream colored hall which led past their parents' room into the dining room. Ringo sat at his usual place at the table between his mother and Sekkai. Sekkai was already at her seat between Ringo's and their father, Kish.
"What is this?" Sekkai said as she poked the unknown substance on her plate with her fork.
"It's tuna salad surprise, now why don't you eat it?" Ichigo said as she drew in a deep breath of exasperation.
Kish leaned over to his daughter and whispered in her ear, "Yeah, you really should eat it before it eats you,"
This made Sekkai laugh to hard to breathe for a whole five minutes.
"Kish, I heard that!" Ichigo said with annoyance and slight anger in her voice.
"What? I was just commenting on your superb cooking, usually it really does try to eat you!" Kish said but only got a death glare from Ichigo.
" I think it looks fine, Mom!" Ringo said as he tried sucking up to Ichigo to get out of actually having to eat her creation.
"Mama's boy," Sekkai said to Ringo.
"Daddy's girl," Ringo said back.
"Oh, I'm sooo scared!" Sekkai said sarcastically.
Then, the doorbell rang throughout the chaos at the dinner table.
"I'll get it!" Kish said as he even panicked a bit.
"Well, since you're so panicky I'll get the door and let you rest a bit," Ichigo said as she began to catch on to what Kish might've been planning.
There was a pizza man at the door saying he had three pepperoni pizzas for Kish.
"Hold on a second," Ichigo said sweetly to the pizza man before turning to Kish with another death glare.
"Hey, I forgot we were having dinner! A man's gotta feed his family if his wife doesn't!" Kish lied.
"Sure, you can go with that," Ichigo said as she went ahead and paid for the pizzas and brought them to the table.
"Yay, does this mean we don't have to eat barf?" Sekkai said as she stared at the pizzas Ichigo was passing around.
"Yes, I'll save tonight's dinner for tomorrow," Ichigo said as she grabbed a slice of pizza for herself.
"Ummm, I have to go over to Natsuhaze's house tomorrow," Sekkai said as she made up an excuse.
"Can I come with you?" Kish asked as he shot a playful look at Ichigo.
"Ha ha, very funny, I almost forgot to laugh," Ichigo said sarcastically.
Dinner for their family went pretty much like how it was going already but it changed up a whole lot after dinner.
"Well, I'll just excuse myself and go upstairs if you don't mind," Ringo said as he stood up from his chair and began to walk away.
"No, you're not excused," Ichigo said.
"But, Mom, I'm tired," Ringo wined.
"You can go as soon as you explain what's on your backside," Ichigo said as she used her fork to point at Ringo's furry, black tail.
"Ummm, yeah, about that…" Ringo said nervously.

Yay! Cliffhanger! I finally finished this chapter since I've posted the last one! I hope everybody enjoyed! Please, please, please, please review!! The next chapter is dedicated to the 15th reviewer! It's funny because I was arguing with myself on what to name Ringo because not shortly before I started writing this fic, I learned about the red mew mew, Ringo. Sadly, I decided not to put her in this fic, but I think that was better to do that because 1. I wanted to name Ringo (the boy) after some red fruit (but not cherry because I thought the Japanese word for cherry, Sakuranbo, reminded me too much of Sakura from Naruto) and 2. because I hardly know anything about Ringo (the girl). So enjoy the next chapter of my fic when I post it! Don't forget to review, and if you have to force me from my precious Sims game to write the rest of this story, so be it!
Ja ne!
