How My Heart Got Lucky

An Ichigo/Masaya story from Ichigo's POV

"Ichigo, come on, it's time to go!"

Ichigo Momomiya whipped her head around so fast she would have knocked her cat ears off, had they not been connected to her head. Even several months after the amazing event, the cat-girl still couldn't believe it.

I've never been the kind that you'd call lucky
Always stumbling' around in circles

She'd been the kind of girl the guys never looked at. She'd been just your average middle school student, neither popular nor uber-nerdy. She'd resigned herself to not having a boyfriend any time in the near future. Maybe never. But then…


But I must have stumbled into something
Look at me
Am I really alone with you

…Masaya.

How was it that the most popular, handsomest boy in their grade had chosen her to be his girlfriend? Sure, she was a superhero infused with the DNA of the endangered Iriomote wildcat, but Masaya had declared his love for her before he was ever aware of that little fact.


I wake up feeling like my life's worth living
Can't recall when I last felt that way

Before he'd admitted he liked her, Ichigo had had a major crush on him for months. At first, she'd thought he wasn't even aware of her existence, except maybe as that quiet girl who came to a lot of his kendo matches, and to tell the truth, it had kind of depressed her. Some nights she'd lay in bed wondering why she was even alive. Then, of course, she'd become a superhero—a Mew, to be precise. But life still hadn't made her happy—until Masaya.


Guess it must be all this love you're giving
Never knew never knew it could be like this

His caring about her made her feel…special. Her heart was happy, for the first time in what seemed like a long time. She'd found someone who was there for her, who loved making her smile, who loved…her.


But I guess
Some hearts
They just get all the right breaks
Some hearts have the stars on their side
Some hearts, they just have it so easy
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
Some hearts just get lucky, lucky sometimes

Her heart had gotten lucky. She knew all the other girls were jealous of her now…some of her former friends were ignoring her now. But—they had been lucky many times before, and this was the first time she ever had.

"Daydreaming again, Ichigo? Silly little cat, you're always drifting off. You're so cute that way, you know…" Masaya's voice echoed through her daydreams.

"Sorry, Masaya," she stammered in reply, blushing. She would never have told him what she'd been thinking about…

He laughed. "Saving the world getting tough for you? Needing some time to space out? It's okay, I still love you," he said in a light, happy, but completely un-sarcastic voice.


Now who'd have thought someone like you could love me
You're the last thing my heart expected

That was just it! He was so nice, so funny, so…everything she desired in a guy. And he was so popular, so athletic, so smart. He wasn't the kind of guy you expect to pick Ichigo Momomiya as his girl.

But somehow, she'd been the one to stand out to him. Not any of the pretty, popular girls who always flocked around him. He must have seen something in her.

It made her feel great.


Who'd have thought I'd ever find somebody
Someone who someone who makes me feel like this

Before Masaya, her friends had constantly told her about how special they felt around their boyfriends. Ichigo had always offhandedly replied, "I don't get that way around guys. I guess I have no idea what you're talking about,". And then she'd met Masaya, and he'd made her feel…she just couldn't explain it. Amazing.

Well I guess
Some hearts
They just get all the right breaks
Some hearts have the stars on their side, yes
Some hearts,
They just have it so easy
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
Ohhhhhh

There had been one little catch in Ichigo's relationship with Masaya, something that had made her doubt if she really had gotten lucky. It turned out that within her boyfriend's body dwelt Deep Blue, a psychotic power-hungry alien king with WAY WAY WAY too much hair.

But somehow, Ichigo and the Tokyo Mew Mew crew had managed to thwart Deep Blue and save Masaya's spirit. It had been a scary experience—but worth it. After the battle, her friends had been so worried about the two of them that they'd created "Mew Project W," a fake wedding between her and her true love.

So there. She'd been lucky again. She'd gotten her dream guy, almost lost him, and by some miracle reclaimed him.

Even hearts like mine
Get lucky, lucky sometimes
Even hearts like mine
Ohhhhhhhh

Ichigo had always thought her heart would be the last to find happiness, if it ever did. But…it seemed, all hearts eventually got lucky. Including hers.

"Ichigo, did you hear a word I just said?" Masaya asked.

"Um…no," Ichigo replied, blushing strawberry again. "S…sorry, Aoyama-kun"

"It's alright, Ichigo. You're probably just thinking about what an awesome guy I am, huh, kitty?" She knew her boyfriend was joking…but he was joking correctly.

Her cheeks continued to burn. "I'll take that as a yes," he grinned, "Why, thanks. You're an awesome girl, too."

Ichigo's blush didn't lessen one iota, even when he proceeded to kiss her.

"Do you know how lucky I feel to be with you?" he asked when they broke off.

Me too, she thought, Me too, Masaya.


Some hearts,
They just get all the right breaks
Some hearts have the stars on their side
Some hearts,
They just have it so easy
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes

Some hearts
They just get all the right breaks
Some hearts have the stars on their side, yes
Some hearts,
They just have it so easy
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
Some hearts just get lucky sometimes
