Again Tokyo Mew Mew and its characters do not belong to me but Crystal and Darren do. Do not sue.
Chapter 2.
The next day at the café Crystal decided that she wouldn't trouble the others with what had happened to her the night before and worked as hard as ever so that no one would be able to ask her questions. Crystal took a brake by the window and sat at the table drinking her tea. Her thoughts were wondering to the other night when the others approached her.
"Crystal what's wrong? You look flushed." Lettuce asked her.
"Crystals in love." Pudding squealed.
"No I'm not, I'm not feeling very well that's all." Crystal replied trying to keep it together.
Just the Ryou joined the girls and sat down.
"What do you want?" Ichigo asked.
"Tonight there is to be a party to bust service at the café. The dresses you are to wear are in the changing room. As soon as you have finished your work go put them on. Make the most of the night because it may be the only time you get to have time off." Ryou said and with that he got up and left.
"A party to bust service. There's plenty of service as it is not without attracting more." Ichigo sighed.
After there work was finished the six girls headed to the changing room. They were all excited about the party that they would be attending and could not weight to see there dresses. When they entered the changing room the girls stood and gasped. There were six beautiful dresses on the bench each with a name on. Ichigo's dress was pink and covered in frills. It had a large pink bow at the back and a pair on pink gloves with strawberries on lay at the side of the dress. Lettuce's was green and fell to her ankles. A pair of green slippers decorated with yellow sequin flowers was under the bench. Pudding had a yellow meringue looking dress with a small jewelled crown placed by the side of it. Mint had a blue ballet dress with a pair of blue ballet slippers with long blue ribbons on. Zakuro's was a purple dress with no back decorated with sequins down each of the long sleeves. A few purple bangles were placed on top. Crystal's was a deep turquoise dress that fell to her knees. A pair of turquoise gloves with a lace flower decoration was at the side. The girls put on there dresses and did there hair and make up.
"You look lovely." Ichigo said to Lettuce.
"We all look lovely." Lettuce said smiling.
As the girls left the changing room and entered the café they saw a large group of people all ready gathered there. Mint and Zakuro were both used to that sort of party and both went strait into the crowed to meet people. Pudding was to excite to just stand around and almost flew into the crowed. Crystal was also used to that sort of party and went into the crowed and started to say hello to people. Lettuce was trying to stay calm but was attracting a lot of attention from the young males in the room and was stuck in the middle of a group of them. Ichigo looked around. She was not used to party's like that and didn't know wither to go into the crowd or let them come to her. She stood were she was and looked for the others to see what they were doing. Just then the doors opened and a boy entered.
He glanced around the room and spotted Ichigo on the sidelines. He walked up to her with a smile.
"Hi, I'm Darren. I'm looking for Crystal. Do you know her?" He asked.
Ichigo smiled back at him.
"Hi, I'm Ichigo. Crystal is a friend of mine. She's over there." Ichigo replied pointing to Crystal.
"Thank you." Darren said.
Ichigo watched as Darren tapped Crystal on the shoulder and Crystal turned around. Ichigo saw Crystal go red and fling her arms around Darren. Ichigo thought for a moment and came to the conclusion that this was the one that Crystal had been thinking of that morning. As Ichigo smiled at the scene before her the door flew open and what looked like giant crows flew into the café. The gusts screamed and left the building while Ichigo and the others tried to find one another. Darren tried to follow Crystal but was forced out by one of the guests. When the girls had finally found each other and the gusts had left the doors slammed shut.
"Hello ladies." Said a voice.
"Kish!!" Ichigo shouted.
He gave a small smile. The crows disappeared to be replaced with what looked like a large tiger. The girls gasped.
"Girls transform." Ichigo shouted to the others.
The girls tried to transform to their Mew Mew forms but nothing happened.
"Nothings happening Ichigo." Mint said.
"Why not?" Ichigo asked.
She glared at Kish.
"What have you done Kish?" Ichigo asked.
"It's a shield that stops you from using your powers." Kish replied with an evil smile.
"Ichigo, if we don't have our powers how can we fight that?" Lettuce asked.
"Well that's easy. You fight it one by one as you are." Kish answered.
"There's no way we can beat that as we are." Mint exclaimed.
"But you have no choice. So I think Ichigo should go first." Kish said.
Ichigo stepped forwarded bravely. She knew she couldn't do anything as she was but she had no choice but to face the monster as she was. The kirma tiger lunged towards her and as it did Ichigo tried her best to doge it, but its heavy paw struck her and Ichigo was out cold. She was heading for the doors and looked as if she would crash into them when they suddenly opened and Ichigo landed outside. The doors shut again and the others looked at each other. One by one the others went to face the kirma animal but without the powers it was useless and each of the ended up out side with Ichigo. Crystal was last and as she walked up to the tiger it vanished. Kish landed next to her. He took Crystals left hand in his right and placed his other hand on her waist. Soft music began to play and Kish began to lead Crystal in a dance. Crystal was angry, confused and surprised that she was dancing and that Kish was the one leading her.
"What was that for?" Crystal asked.
"I wanted to dance with you without the others being suspicious. And it worked." Kish replied smiling his seductive smile.
Crystal glared at Kish and gathered all the energy she could and pushed Kish away from her. Kish stared at her. The kirma tiger returned and struck Crystal. She hit the wall hard and crumpled to the floor.
"That wasn't very nice my fox. I'm afraid ill have to teach you a lesson." Kish said.
The heavy paw struck Crystal into the other wall. Crystal clasped to the floor and was out. Kish and the kirma animal vanished and the doors opened. Ichigo and the others ran into the café and gathered around Crystal. Darren entered and kneeled beside her. Lettuce went to call for and ambulance. When the ambulance arrived Darren went with Crystal to the hospital.
