The Mew Mew That I Cherish

A Zakuro/Pie Songfic from Pie POV

A beautiful lady clad in a thin violet dress reclined on a park bench, waiting for someone to come. Every few seconds she peered at a thin silver watch on her left wrist, unaware that both definitions of "watch" were being employed at that moment.

A lavender-haired alien stood behind a thick oak, his eyes fixed on the lady's own purple locks, hanging free and loose, blowing slightly in the breeze. He sighed, wondering again why he was even there

Zakuro Fujiwara was waiting for her boyfriend, just as she did every Saturday night. And, as always, Pie was watching her, the wolf mew, the model, his love.

The lady that I cherish is enamored of a fool
A fool who lacks the wit to speak his mind

Why, of all the people in Tokyo, had she chosen that boy? Pie knew very well the man Zakuro was dating, and his opinion was firm: he was a fool. A cruel, stupid, fool that didn't' deserve her.


A fool who often wears a mask, indifferent and cool
A fool who's often selfish, dense and blind

He hid behind a façade even thicker then the werewolf's own, caring more for his own protection then for her. Not even realizing it when she was hurt, not being comforting when she needed it. And yet…she waited for him every week in the same place.

The lady that I cherish is enamored of a fool
A fool too often wrapped in other cares

He was always so busy, he usually forgot her too and was late for their weekly dates. He worked as some sort of engineer, being very good with technology. Yet so often this faithless beau's job would get in the way of him seeing her. How she tolerated it, Pie just didn't understand.


Forgetting that his single-mindedness is wrong and cruel
To lock her out who gladly trouble shares

The alien could see Zakuro trying to reach out to him, he usually ignoring or even rejecting. Why he kept her out when she was so willing to help him, willing to open to him in a way she didn't even to her dearest friends, the other mews…

The lady that I cherish is enamored of a fool
Who sometimes does not value what he holds

"He should consider himself lucky to be dating Zakuro. But he doesn't even seem to value her…" Pie's long nails dug into his pale hands. A few drops of blood fell to the leaves below, making a slight drip-drop noise in the still night. She turned her beautiful face toward where he stood concealed, and for a moment squinted, as though she saw something. He held his breath, and she turned away.


Until his loneliness confirms 'twere time his heart should rule
And the comfort of her love around him folds

"She waits for her fool…" Hoping, the silent watcher knew, that tonight would be one of the few nights he was actually kind to her, actually listened and cared and acted like a loving boyfriend instead of the dense fool he was. It was those nights, those rare nights that Zakuro seemed to treasure deeply, that kept her dating him.

But though he must have hurt her, without ever meaning to

But when it wasn't one of those nights, Pie would watch her, watch her eyes go glassy for a single moment at his careless words or actions…


Her temper never breaks and never frays

…and then turn to him, a smile on her sweet lips…
And she forgives whatever careless thing that he may do

…and grant him her forgiveness, as she always did, and tell him those three words that could heal any hurt and pain—sometimes.

And loves him still despite his thoughtless ways

Tell him that she loved him, him and always him…

She only smiles and says that there is nothing to forgive

…and that she was not hurt, and things would go on, until he accidentally hurt her again. But Zakuro, dear, kind, Zakuro, never angered. She was truly an amazing human…yet he valued her not.

Unable to contain his feelings any longer, the tall alien stepped into the moonlight. His foot hit a twig, and she turned.


And I thank goodness that she does so for you see
I fear without her love and care this poor fool could not live

Zakuro turned and smiled slightly. "You came."

Pie blushed. "S…sorry I'm late. I…" how to put it? "…was being foolish. Forgive me."

The model shrugged. "It doesn't matter. Such things happen. There is nothing to forgive At least you came."

Pie blushed deeply as he took a seat beside her on the bench. They sat in silence for a moment, then he hesitatingly put an arm around her. "Yes, Zakuro. I came."

The fool she loves and cherishes is me

For you, I came. For you, I will always come. Because you love me, I came, and will continue to come. For as long as you will have me, even though I'm a silly fool, I will come.
The fool she loves and cherishes is me

Sofri-chan: So there you have it, Pie! R&R, and I think I have all the ideas but keep suggesting because a few are a bit rocky. Next will be either Mint or Keiichiro, so stay tuned!
