Disclaimer I do not own Tokyo Mew Mew, even though I really wish I did, along with millions of others. -.-

"I normally like to be alone. It's not my nature, but more like something I have adapted myself to. I enjoy ancient artifacts, especially things from the Feudal Era of Japan. I'm actually from America, but I moved here when I was very young. Back to the story though. I was at the museum, having heard they had a new exhibit on Ancient Japan. After leaving, there was this earthquake, which I assume was you, Ryou, injecting the DNA in the other Mew Mew's. To make a long story short, I became a Mew Mew the same way as the other girls, but when it appeared you knew nothing about it I didn't come forward. I did follow the battles though, making sure no one got too hurt."

Finishing the story, Serena looked at the faces of her audience. Ryou's was calculating, while Keichiiro's was just randomly smiling, and Ichigo's….Serena had always watched the leader of the Mew Mew's the most. She knew Ichigo would be important in the end. She didn't know how she knew, but she did. She wasn't prepared for what the pink haired girl did next though.

Ichigo jumped up from her seat and hugged Serena fiercely. 'I don't care how, but someway this girl became a Mew Mew, and has been watching over all of us this entire time.'

"Thank you." Ichigo said, smiling. Serena looked at her, searching her face. There was nothing there but gratitude. She smiled and nodded.

"So, Serena, what type of DNA were you infused with?" Ichigo's curiosity was evident.

"Ryou," Serena asked, "Is it safe to transform here?"

"Yes, we're not open right now, so no one will come in."

"Good. All right Ichigo, lets satisfy your curiosity, shall we?" Serena winked at her, and Ichigo giggled.

"Mew Mew Metamorphosis!" A silver light engulfed Serena. Twin ears appeared on her head, and a graceful tail sprung from her back. When the change was done, she was wearing an outfit much like Ichigo's, except she had shorts instead of a skirt and her boots reached mid-calf. Her outfit was silver, with white trimming. Ichigo didn't see her mark, but it was somewhere.

"You…You're a cat. Like me."

Serena's white kitty ears with silver markings twitched at her words.

"Actually, my dear, I am a Bengal white tiger. Not a cat."

Ryou stared at her. She was beautiful, majestic so unlike Ichigo… 'Whoa, there. Professional thoughts only' he blushed. Alarms went off. Serena covered her ears and glared at Ryou. He shrugged.

"Looks like the aliens are back. Ichigo, call the…" Ichigo was already speed dialing the Mew Mew's phones.

"They got the message Ryou, they're on their way." He nodded at Ichigo.

"You know your duty Mew Ichigo."

"Mew Mew Strawberry Metamorphosis!" Ichigo transformed and grinned at Serena. "Wanna come?"

"I guess so. Sure." Serena gave a feral smile back at Ichigo.

Elsewhere

Kish growled. 'What was taking the Mew Mew's so long? I want to see my kitten. And I have the perfect trap for her.' He grinned at the thought, his fangs showing.
