Chapter Two: A Mew Is Born

She decided to walk through Central Park because it was quite and peaceful. She knew she'd get a earful from her gang tomorrow but she couldn't't care less. She passed a field of cherry blossoms, the blossoms were falling off the tree at a faster rate than earlier.

The breeze picked up and all of the cherry blossoms on the concrete made a beautiful peach whirlwind around her. She stopped as a petal landed on her head. She took it into her hands, careful not to tear it. The wind subsided and the birds stopped tweeting.

Footsteps sounded behind her. She let the petal go and turned around quickly. It seemed like there was no body there, but then again nothings ever as it seem.

"Hello?" she shouted. Nobody answered her call. She turned back around and headed for Central Parks fountain. She heard the footsteps again but told herself that she must be imagining it. No one else but me is at fountain, so it couldn't't be somebody following me could it? She dismissed that idea the moment it came into her head, it was too creepy. She didn't want to think of somebody following her… It could be a murderer or something.

She took out her blackberry and checked the time, 4:25. "phew", she whispered, "It isn't even murderer O'clock yet." She wiped her phone of dirt and put it back in her bag. Her bag was unusually light today. She started to panic "what if those footsteps belong to a man…and what if he had stolen everything from my bag!" She immediately grabbed her bag and checked its contents. Phone, check. school books, check. money, check. ID card, check. Random piece of old chewing gum, check. She laughed at herself for being so stupid, everything was there.

She chucked the chewing gum into the fountain and continued walking home.

But something stopped her. It felt like her legs were tied together. She looked down at her feet. Nothing. Her head was buzzing and she felt dizzy.

"why can't I move!" A terrible shooting pain shook through her body and her eyes fuzzed over with tears. They dripped down her face and splashed to the floor.

The pain stopped as suddenly as it came. She dropped to her knees and sighed heavily. Part of her wanted to get up and run away yet another part of her wanted to see what had happened.

"Don't cry my dear mew" A voice boomed from the darkness of the trees beside her.

"Whose there?" She cried out, tears streaming down her face as fast as bullets. She had no idea what was happening.

A tear slided down her face, before she could wipe it away somebody had already done it for her. Her eyes met with his. They were purple. Was he wearing contacts? They looked real enough. His hair was also a shade of purple and it was held in a long hair bobble down the right side of his head. He had a red circle in the middle of his forehead. She looked down and noticed he was wearing brown cut offs and a black crop top showing his belly button, which was hooked with a spike.

She blushed. He had seen her crying! She budged back from him, hand held over her mouth with eyes still wet with tears.

" Hahaha" His laugh boomed from around the park. If anyone from my school saw me like this it would be so embarrassing! I'd have a hard time explaining this one!

She gasped as he pulled out a long diamond encrusted blade, she backed away even further, hand covering her face as a defensive position. He moved closer and closer. She couldn't move she was in to much shock. She braced herself for the worst.

" I've finally found you…" He had a crooked smile drawn across his face. "It would be easier if I exterminated you now instead of waiting for you too find the others"

"Ex… Exterminate?" by now she was grasping for breath, " Its alright ill wake up in my bed any second now… ill wake up and ill go through the day again…I must wake up… Wake up now-"

"This isn't a bad dream mew mew, its completely real!"

She shook her head from side to side, not believing what was happening. She thought she'd have a long happy life with 3 kids and a lovely husband, but she knew that would never be happening now, not after this. She remembered what he had called her. A mew mew? What was that? Was it some sort of music, or maybe a cat…

"W…Why do you keep calling me mew mew?

" You really don't know?" he smirked at me, he obviously found her genuine question funny in some way, " Well I guess you might never find out!"

He swung his blade at her causing her to shriek loudly…

She had expected it to hurt. She had expected a blinding pain shooting through her body. She had expected to see a bright light like what everybody says about when their about to die. She expected her life to go flashing in front of her eyes and every little memory cruising inside her brain. Yet none of that actually happened. Instead she felt gushes of strong wind brushing all over her and it felt good, like she was flying. She daren't open her eyes. She was scared they might get hurt because of the strong wind.

The gushing came to a stop and a loud shout ringed through her ears. I guess I can still hear then, she thought to herself. She didn't recognise the voice calling to her. Strange, she though that it was just her and that thing in Central Park. She allowed herself to open her eyes but only for a second. A man was hovering over her considering on either nudging her or doing CPR. He dismissed that thought. He didn't want to give a random girl the kiss of life unless he needed to.

She sat up immediately. Remembering what had happened and going into a state of shock again. Why was she still alive? Had this man saved her? What was she doing here anyway?

"Are you alive or what?" the man asked. He looked at least twenty three. He had slightly curly blonde hair and wore a black t-shirt that joined onto what looked like black arm bands on each upper arm. So as not to see his bare chest underneath his black T-shirt he wore a red vest top. White trousers covered his legs and he had on a pair black converse. He had on a name crest which read 'Ryou' maybe that was his name?

He had some sort of pendant clutched in his hand. It was shining brightly, obviously reacting with something.

"Take this" the man said, passing her the glowing pendant. She stared at it for a long while before finally taking it into her hands.

A burning sensation tingled through her body and her hands started shaking rapidly. The pendant dropped to the ground and the man picked it up carefully and placed it onto her legs. She could make out a type of cat running towards her, teeth bared and hair raised. Her eyes welled up with tears again, not knowing what was happening. This time her whole body shook. The cat had long pointed ears and a brown tail with a black tip. As it got closer she realised she was the only one who could see it. Maybe she was going mental or maybe it was some sort of sign. It had eyes that burned straight through her… Its eyes were exactly like hers. Its like it was a replica of Misaki but in cat form.

She cried out as I drew ever nearer. The man reassured her it was alright, that it wont hurt her. It dawned on her that he could see it too. They were both staring right at it, but the cat kept its eyes locked on with Misaki's.

A sudden burst of electricity reacted between her and the cat. It was as if they were bonding of some sort.

Without knowing how or why, Misaki stretched her hand out to the cat. It lifted its paw to Misaki's hand. They connected, hand and paw, the cat smiled and purred at her. It removed its paw from Misaki's hand and had a stretch. It stuck up its back and tail . Suddenly, it jumped at her. Misaki thought it would fall on her or at least she should feel something. But she noticed it had jumped into her instead of on her…

She felt like she was being merged with another being. Like she was becoming an alien or mutant of some kind. She was exactly right. Her body was changing. Was this because of that cat…She asked herself whilst in her dream world.

She brought her hand up to her face. She turned them around slightly to the side. She was shocked to see a mark on the side of it.

"A mark? Why do I have a mark on my left hand?" She looked up at Ryou.

He shrugged, "I guess it just comes with the whole package of being a mew mew"

"A what?" She had had enough of all this mew mew stuff, what was it? And why were they calling her one. Is it like a gang member name or something?

"That cat you just saw was a Lyberian Lynx. It fused with you, and that's what gave you this mark" he nodded towards the mark on her hand. She rubbed at it furiously. Why wont it come off, she thought getting more and more frustrated.

" It's permanent. Well, until you defeat the threat on the Earth that is" He saw her confused face and sighed deeply "Look,that pendant is called a power pendant. Hold it in the air and shout 'Mew Mew Toffee Metamorphosis' and you'll see what I mean"

"But why-"

"Just do it!"

"alright…" she pulled a face and brought the pendant up to her face. The power pendant scared her, it was the reason she had gotten into all of this mess. She nodded anyway.

She took the gleaming pendant into her hands and shouted at the top of her voice

"Mew Mew Toffee, Metamorpho-si!"
A luminous light clouded around her and she was floating in a sea of sparkles…

Sorry to leave this at a cliff-hanger, but I just couldn't stop myself *smiles evilly* The next chapter also has a lot of action and you'll see that Misaki isn't exactly as perfect as she is said to be…
