Miyuki shivered as she slept. She woke up. "It's kinda cold tonight..." She murmured. She sweatdropped. "That's weird, I never feel the cold." She said to herself. She shook her head. "Maybe my DNA has finally evened out. It's about time, this means I won't be so hot anymore. But I can't believe it took two years." She smiled and looked at the clock. "Oh no!"

She only had twenty minutes to get dressed for school and take Usagi to daycare! She got into the shower and shivered, turning the water up a little, making it warmer.

"I'm so used to my DNA being unbalance that warm water feels unnatural now." She muttered as she showered. She changed into her uniform. She was about to go out without her jacket. "Now that I can feel temperature normally now, I probably should take my jacket with me. That, and I should make breakfast." She whipped up some breakfast, consisting of eggs, bacon, and toast. She made Usagi's lunch before nodding. "Breakfast is-"

In about a second, everyone was at the table. Miyuki sweatdropped.

"Done..." She set the plates.

"Itadakimasu!" They chorused. As usual, Usagi ate with little to no table manners.

"Usagi..." Kohaku hissed.

Usagi sweatdropped. "Usagi-chan, you need to eat slowly or you'll choke. I swear, your appetite's just like Mizu's..." Miyuki sighed.

Usagi ate her food cautiously, and her definition of slow was not the same definition for everyone else.

After a while, Kisshu, now Shinji, and Usagi, now Sakura, were ready for school. Miyuki looked at Kohaku.

"Kohaku-chan, you study hard for your enrollment exams, okay?" She ordered.

Kohaku right. "Okay, Miyuki-san."

Miyuki glowered at him. "No more Miyuki-san. We're practically living under the same roof. Call me Miyuki, Miyuki-chan, Miyu-chan, Yuki or oneechan. Anything. But no san. I'm not superior to you."

"Yes you are." Shinji said.

WHACK!

"OW! What's with you and that mallet?" He asked.

"Let's just go. Sakura-chan, are you looking forward to daycare?"

"Hai, Sakura can't wait!" She chimed.

"Sorry I can't drive you, I need to buy a tank of gas for my car." She said. She looked at Kohaku. "I'll catch up with you guys, so go ahead." They left the house. "Kohaku-chan, promise me you'll study hard? Because one time Kyo told me that you studied for twenty minutes before you started watching anime."

Kohaku sweatdropped. "Darn it, I told him not to tell!"

Miyuki smirked. "Gotcha. Kyo-chan said nothing, I made it up."

Kohaku slapped himself. "Darn it, I fell right into that one!" He groaned. Miyuki smirked.

"Kohaku-chan, I expect you to study for two hours the least. I'll make sure to ask Kyo-chan for sure though if you don't." She said.

Kohaku nodded. "Hai, Miyuki-san..." She scowled at him. "I-I mean Kitty-oneechama!"

Miyuki smiled and kissed his cheek. "Good boy, I'll see ya later!" She ran out of the house. "Oi! Kisshu-chan! Usagi-chan! MATTE!" She called.

Kohaku blinked as he watched them leave, holding his cheek. "Something's off." He muttered. He shook his head. "No time for that. I gotta study."

Miyuki gave Sakura her lunch. Sakura hesitated before holding onto Miyuki's leg. "Oneechama, I changed my mind! Sakura doesn't wanna go!" She whined.

Miyuki sweatdropped. "Sakura-chan, you have to, okay? You'll make new friends here."

"But Sakura doesn't wanna make new friends! Sakura's fine with Oneechan and Oniikun!" She whined.

Shinji and Miyuki looked at each other. "Sensei-chan, a little help!" Miyuki asked, looking at a woman who was the assumed run of the daycare.

"First day?" She asked.

"Hai. Apparently, she's fine with just me and 'Oniikun' here." Miyuki sighed. "Sensei-chan, can you help me convince her?"

"I'll see what I can do." Sensei-chan chirped. She put her hands on her knees. "What's your name?"

"Usa-Sakura." Sakura said quickly.

"Sakura? That's pretty." She chirped. "Sakura-chan, why don't you wanna come?"

Sakura's face twisted into a cute little scowl. "You don't know Sakura that way! You're not allowed to say Sakura-chan!"

Sensei, Shinji, and Miyuki sweatdropped. "Sakura-chan!" Miyuki hissed. "You need to be respectful. She's calling you Sakura-chan because she wants to be friends with you!"

"Sakura doesn't want new friends! Sakura is fine with just her Oneechan and Oniikun!" Sakura insisted, clinging onto her leg.

Miyuki had trouble maintaining her balance. "Sakura-chan, even though you have your sister and brother," Sensei began.

"Actually "Oniikun" is my boyfriend." Miyuki said. "They get along like brother and sister though."

Sensei smiled. "Really? That's sweet!" She blinked. "What was I saying? Oh right. Wouldn't you like to have friends your own age? There are so much more things you can do with little kids like you."

"No, no, no!" Sakura chided.

Miyuki and Shinji sighed.

"At this rate, we'll be late." Shinji huffed.

Miyuki nodded. "Sensei-chan, lemme try something, last resort." She sighed. She looked down at the five year old on her leg. "Sakura-chan, if you go to daycare, I make you a chocolate chip ice cream cake."

Sakura's eyes sparkled. "Really?"

"Hai. But only if you go inside, make new friends, and have a good day. And you better behave, because if Sensei-chan says other wise, no cake for you. Do we have a deal?"

"Hai hai! Sensei-chan, Sakura's ready for daycare!" She ran into the little building.

They all sweatdropped. "I can't believe that worked." She muttered. She bowed, and Shinji followed. "Okay, I'll be back after school. Bai bai!" She said, running into her car with Shinji following. "That was hard." She drove.

Miyuki hummed as she took her usual fried fish from the line and went at her table with Nabiki, Mizuki and Shinji.

"So Haruka's been studying for his enrollment here right?" Mizuki asked.

Miyuki nodded. "Of course. I wouldn't be a good big sister if I didn't make him study for two hours a day." She said.

"Two hours? I only make him study for thirty minutes!" Mizuki said. Her expression was worried. "Does that make me a bad sister?!"

"No. Thirty minutes is fine, but if he gets two hours, it should stick in his head more." Miyuki assured.

"He's sixteen right? If he passes, he'll be in eleventh grade won't he?" Nabiki asked.

"No, when he was in China, he missed a year of school, so he'll be in tenth grade. But he's still the appropriate age, after all, he just recently turned sixteen." She said.

"Oh. Hey, how'd Sakura-chan take going to daycare?"

"Neko-chan had to bribe her with cake to get her to stay." Shinji said chuckling. Mizuki and Nabiki laughed.

"Sakura-chan didn't strike me as one to do that!" Nabiki laughed.

"I can kinda see her doing it though!" Mizuki laughed.

Miyuki put up a cute and childish pout. "It wasn't funny, she hung onto my leg like her life depended on it and almost cut off my circulation!" She hissed. This just made them laugh harder. Miyuki sighed and picked up her chopsticks. "It isn't funny..." She muttered. She changed the subject. "You know, I finally got Haruka-kun to stop calling me Miyuki-san."

Mizuki blinked. "Yeah?"

"Yup. Now he's calling me "Kitty-oneechama". I love how that sounds!"

"I'm a bat...do you think he'll call me "Koumori-oneechama"?" Mizuki asked with curiosity.

Miyuki shrugged. "I dunno. Maybe. After all these years, he might take a while." Miyuki lied. She knew her sister would believe her because of Usagi's spell.

She did what she always did. Closing her eye, she picked up her fish, and bit into it. Holding it there to savor the flavor before actually biting a chunk off of it.

She opened her eyes and blinked. Nabiki stopped laughing just enough to say; "Miyuki-kun, are you okay?" She asked.

Miyuki blinked again. "Yo, Odango? What's up?"

"Earth to Neko-chan, are you gonna eat the fish, or stare off into space like that?" Shinji asked.

Miyuki took the fish from her mouth. It had bite marks on it. She stared at it. Something about it didn't look very appetizing. She put the fish back onto her tray. She closed her eyes.

"I don't want it." She said. Miyuki nearly choked on her pizza while Shinji and Nabiki stared with disbelief.

"What? But Odango, you love fish!"

Miyuki stared at her fish. "I dunno...It just doesn't seem to appeal to me." She muttered. She pushed her tray away. "I don't want it."

Nabiki shook her head. "Maybe, you just need a change in variety every now and then. You want some of my pizza?" She said, holding half of her pizza out to the cat mew.

"Thanks." Miyuki said, eating it hungrily.

They all walked home. As usual, Miyuki walked on the fence. She was graceful as always, but something was off.

"Odango-chan, are you okay? You're wobbling a little."

"Hmm? I am? Maybe this is one of my off days." Miyuki muttered. She lifted her leg for a step before slipping and falling onto her back. "ITA!" She shrieked. "That huuurrrrrtttt..." She groaned.

"Neko!?" Shinji asked, helping her up.

"I'm fine, I'm fine..." She groaned.

Nabiki frowned. "Miyuki-kun, what happened? If you fell, wouldn't you have landed on your feet?" She asked.

"I guess I didn't have enough time to flip..." She sighed.

"Geez, that was a hard fall..." Mizuki sighed.

"It hurts to walk..." Miyuki groaned as she moved.

"You want me to give you a piggy-back ride?" Shinji offered.

"I'm fine..." Miyuki took a step. "Ita!" She squeaked. "Okay..." Shinji bent down and she hopped on. "I'm not heavy, am I?" She asked.

"Nope."

Mizuki watched as Miyuki rested her head on him. She couldn't help but feel a little envy crawling up. 'I wish I had a boyfriend who would do that for me...' She looked at her sister. She looked to be in general pain, but at the same time, she seemed comfy on Shinji's back.

"Kisshu-chan, we need to pick Sakura up in thirty minutes." She sighed.

"Right, hopefully, you'll be feeling better."

Nabiki nodded. "If you're not feeling better, we can get her." She said, reffering to her and Mizuki.

"Yeah, plus she should sleep over at my house for a change."

"Zzzzzzzz..."

Shinji, Nabiki, and Mizuki sweatdropped. "Did she actually fall asleep on my back?" He asked.

"Well, at least that's the same." Nabiki and Mizuki sighed.

Miyuki and Ichigo ran back and forth in the cafe. "I can't keep up!" Miyuki groaned, carrying a tray of pink lemonade.

"Keep going Kitty! We can make it!"

"Oi, Ichigo, Kitty-chan! I finished modifying Chibi-Mew and Masha for you!" Ryou called.

Ichigo zoomed past him. "That's good to hear, nya!"

Miyuki zoomed the other way. "Arigato!" She slipped. "Wha!" She fell on her back. Spirals spun her eyes. "Which way did he go...Which way did he go..." She muttered.

"Neko-chan, are you okay?" Shinji asked. Miyuki quickly bounced back up.

"Nothing can keep me down!" She looked at ground a few feet from her. "Oh no, I spilled the lemonade!" She stood up and looked at the guys at table that ordered. "I'll get you s'more! Gomen Nasai!" She winked at them.

They all blushed. "Th-that's okay!"

"T-take your time!"

"Awww! Arigato!" She said sweetly. Suddenly, she sweatdropped. "I feel two angry auras...almost murderous..." She gulped. "I'm scared to turn around." She turned around and squeaked. Kisshu and Ryou were both surrounded by dark auras, and sharp eyes were piercing into her soul. She looked to the side to see that Keiichiro was annoyed, his eyebrow twitching constantly.

"Kitty..."

"Neko..."

Miyuki laughed nervously. "Ahahaha! Um...on second thought, my sister Mizuki would much rather prefer to do this for you!" She chirped. She looked behind her again. "Please excuse me while I run for my life!" She shrieked and ran away. The boys walked after her quickly.

Ichigo sweatdropped. "I'm surprised that her cat ears haven't appeared yet, nya."

Mizuki then noticed something. "Odango hasn't said "nya" once..."

Miyuki panted as she sat down. She leaned on her arm. "Sweeping, taking orders, dodging Sakura-chan on a ball...I don't know how much this cat can take..."

Mint sipped her tea from across Miyuki. "You've never been this overwhelmed with Ichigo's help before."

A vein popped on Miyuki's head. "Well, I wouldn't be if you'd help Mint-oneechan!" She snapped.

Mint sipped her tea again. "I would, but I'm drinking my tea. If I don't drink my tea, I get a terrible headache." She said simply.

A vein popped on Miyuki's head. She grabbed Mint by the collar of her uniform. "I swear, if you don't start working, a headache is going to be the last thing you'll have to worry about.

Mint sweatdropped. "WELCOME TO CAFE MEW MEW!" She shrieked as she greeted a customer.

Miyuki clapped her hands as if ridding them of dust. "Works like a charm."

"Miyuki-oneechan, how do you do that?" Pudding asked.

Miyuki smirked. "Rule number one in life." She winked at Pudding. "Never make a girl with red eyes angry."

Pudding blinked. "What does your eye color have to do with it, Na no da?"

Miyuki's smirk turned into an elegant smile. "A girl with angry red eyes has the appearance of a beautiful demon that is ready to strike you down." She began to chuckle lightly, as this was so true.

Pudding blinked, nodding as she took in the information. "Where does Bunko go? You know, when she disappears?"

Miyuki blinked. She pulled off her cap and revealed a red headband with a brown bat on it. "You see this headband I'm always wearing? This is Bunko."

"Cool! Na no da!"

Bunko, Chibi-Mew, and Masha all appeared. "Predasite alert! Predasite alert!"

The girls evacuated the cafe. "Let's go!" Ichigo commanded as they ran out.

"Kitty-chan." Ryou tossed a power pendant at her. "Ichigo told me about your old one, so I made you a new one!"

"Arigato!" Miyuki called as she caught the pendant and ran away.

Sakura looked at Ryou and Keiichiro. "Shirogane-oniikun, Akasaka-oniisan...Sakura needs a favor..." She muttered.

They looked at each other, then at Sakura. "What is it, Sakura-chan?" Keiichiro asked.

The Mew Mews all sweatdropped as they looked at the dinosaur. "DINOSAUR-SAN!" Pudding squealed.

"Let's transform." Mizuki growled.

"We better be careful. No doubt Momoko got the skeleton from the museum, they're valuable." Lettuce warned.

"Right." The girls said.

"Mew Mew Strawberry!"

"Mew Mew Mint!"

"Mew Mew Lettuce!"

"Mew Mew Pudding!"

"Mew Mew Zakuro!"

"Mew Mew Kitty!"

"Mew Mew Mizuki!"

"METAMORPHO-SIS!" With a group transformation, six Mew Mews stood before the dinosaur.

Wait...

SIX?!

Miyuki stared at her hands. No arm length fingerless gloves. She felt her head and looked behind her. No ears. No tail. Heck! Her dress wasn't even there! "You guys!" She shrieked.

They looked at her. "You didn't transform, nya?"

Miyuki glared at Ichigo. "Do I LOOK like I transformed?! I think it's the pendant...I'll try again." She kissed her pendant. "Mew Mew Kitty! Metamorpho-sis!"

They waited.

Nothing. Mizuki clenched her fist. "Sorry Odango-chan, we don't have time to figure out what's going on. We'll beat this on our own!"

"But you need Kitty Therapy!"

Mint smiled. "We'll just use Rainbow Check."

Ichigo nodded. "Right. Happy thoughts, but first we gotta slow this thing down! Ribbon Strawberry Check!" She shot her attack at the predasite, which roared in pain. It shot a water attack.

"If it's water then I'll use electricity! Ribbon Zakuro Evolution!" She used her whip to shock the dinosaur. "Everyone, get into position!"

They surrounded the dino. "Ready everyone? Loving thoughts!" Ichigo shouted.

They raised their weapons. "RIBBON RAINBOW CHECK!" They shouted.

The dinosaur roared in agony and fought with the supposed therapy. "STOP, NYA!" Ichigo growled. "It isn't supposed to hurt the dinosaur!" She snapped. "Who wasn't thinking loving thoughts!"

"I was thinking of Zakuro-oneesama." Mint sighed.

"I-I was thinking of Pie-san..." Lettuce muttered under her breath.

"I thought of Taru-Taru."

"I thought of the sunrise." Zakuro huffed.

Slowly, six heads turned toward a certain bat. Mizuki sweatdropped. "What? I was thinking of food!"

Cue the anime collapse.

Miyuki recovered first and shook her sister with everything she had. "YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO THINK OF SOMETHING YOU LOVE! NOT SOMETHING YOU COULD DESTROY YOU LAME-BRAIN!" She snapped.

Mizuki groaned. "Gomen nasai...I'll think of something else."

They got back into position, and Miyuki watched from afar. "RIBBON RAINBOW CHECK!" The attack caressed the dinosaur and it was soon replaced with its skeleton.

Masha flew towards it. "Got it, got it!" He swallowed it and sweatdropped. "H-horrible! WAY TOO SWEET!" He shouted.

The Mew Mews turned their attention to Miyuki, who was staring at her pendant. "Kitty-oneechan, why didn't you change?"

"I dunno...maybe my DNA isn't reacting correctly with this new pendant..."

Mizuki shook her head. "I don't think so." They looked at her. "You haven't meowed once, your two-year love of fish died without warning, your balance is off a little, you actually stayed awake in class, you can't land on your feet, and your cat ears and tail haven't appeared once! And how many times have you been surprised Yuki? Hell, you haven't even complained about how hot it is!"

Miyuki clenched her fists. "What are you suggesting?"

Mizuki sighed. "Odango...I don't think you have your panther DNA anymore..." The Mew Mews all gasped.

Sakura made a weird noise when Mizuki proposed her theory. "This could all be the result of Kitty-chan's panther DNA finally balancing out with her human DNA. There's only one way to find out for sure..." Ryou muttered. He looked at Miyuki. "We need to change her into a cat."

"Awe man...I hate turning into a cat..." Miyuki murmured. "Alright, let's get this over with."

Ryou walked towards her. "Whoa, where are you going Blondie?" Kisshu demanded. The girls sweatdropped.

"It was my idea, so I should be the one to turn her into a cat." Ryou insisted.

"I don't think so, Neko-chan is my girlfriend!" They began to argue.

Miyuki slapped herself. "How annoying..." She looked to the side and saw a flushed Keiichiro.

"M-Miyuki-san, if I may, they don't look like they'll settle this quickly." He muttered, his cheeks dusted pink.

Miyuki blushed. "O-oh, you want to..." She looked at the arguing men. It looked like they were in their own world now. She blew at her bangs. "Okay." Keiichiro placed his hands on her shoulders.

"Yo. Baka 1 and Baka 2." Mizuki sighed. They looked at her. She whistled and pointed her thumb behind her. Keiichiro was kissing a flushed Miyuki.

"Keiichiro!" Ryou gasped.

"You traitor!" Kisshu yelled.

They parted and Miyuki looked at herself. "I'm still me..." She muttered. She shrieked as Ryou stuck a needle in her arm. He took a blood sample. "Ow, you jerk what was that for?"

"Double checking." He walked into the lab.

"You mean..." Kisshu muttered.

Miyuki growled. "Turning me into a cat wasn't the only way, that bastard just wanted to kiss me!" She was held back by Keiichiro.

"Oneechama..." Miyuki looked at Sakura. "Even if you aren't a Mew Mew, you don't have to worry, Sakura will be a Mew Mew too!"

"That's sweet, but Ryou-chan would never turn you into a Mew Mew."

"No! Sakura will be a Mew Mew!"

Miyuki smiled at her sister for trying to cheer her up.

Is it balanced DNA or is Miyuki no longer a Mew Mew? Anyway, there's a poll on my profile. Please go look at it. *Does peace sign before cute monkey pose* /\_/\
