New responsibilities; My new troubles!

chapter one

The night was calm and the stars gently twinkled in the sky. There was a full Azure colored moon in the sky as a boy watched with his depressed brown eyes. He felt a light shake on the bed he was sitting on and the soft voice of a female spoke.

"The stars shine brighter here don't they, Yuki?" She said as the boy named Yuki merely shook his head in agreement. She looked at him, He was about 12 and had raspberry brown hair with brown eyes that shone blue once in a while.

"Do you think...we moved because of..well..him?" Yuki asked as the girl smiled,

"Nah! We've moved a lot because of him, but no I don't think so." She replied as her eyes fixed on the moon and stars.

"Why did we have to move again I just started liking are old school." Yuki asked as the girl shifted in place uncomfortably trying to find the right words to comfort him.

"It's complicated, and well mom says its for the best! But it's alright I have a feeling we won't leave any time soon." She said as a small smile played across Yuki's lips.

"Arigato (Thank you) Naomi" Yuki thanked her, she was always there for him and helped him through hard times, still she asked little in return.

"Well its getting late and we start school tomorrow! So oyasumi-nasia.(Good night)" Naomi said as she hoped off the bed and walked to her room.

" Oyasumi (good night), Naomi." He muttered under his breath though Naomi heard anyways.

BEEP!BEEP!BEEP

The sun light illuminated the room asNaomi opened her eyes wearily. She heard an alarm beeping. She sat up in her bed and looked around her, still half asleep she saw boxes stacked up to the ceiling and crowding the room, Though of course they weren't like that it was just her sleepy-ness getting the best of her. Naomi decided to go back to sleep for five more minutes and just as her eyes were closed a huge crashing was heard which sent her eyes flying open .Then there was a weird sound that started getting deeper and more slow sounding , BWeeP...B...EEP...BE..EEP.

She sat up in her bed and put her ear on the wall and heard Yuki screeching at the top of his lungs!

"SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUUUUUT-UUUUUPPPP!" Yuki was not at all a morning person he would rather sleep the day away than wake up and do the same old routine the same went for Naomi,

Naomi twitched as the sounds loudness hurt her ears. She got up and changed into her new schools uniform, A gray skirt with a white shirt on top and on top of the white shirt was a gray jacket with a red tie hanging down. She tied her hair into two high pig tails. She ran into the kitchen and cached a piece of toast in her mouth as it jumped out of the hot toaster.

" Ohayo (good morning) Naomi! Breakfast will be ready in 10 minutes." Ichigo said to her daughter with a cheery smile on her face.

" Gomen (sorry) mom! But I'm late for school, COME ON YUKI!" Naomi yelled at Yuki as fast paced foot steps were heard coming down the stairs.

"Gomen, Gomen(sorry, sorry)" He said as he slid out the door when Naomi opened it.

" Show off." Naomi said shaking her head slightly as Ichigo giggled and went back to breakfast. While she was flipping a pancake, A picture of her and a man was in a golden frame with pink cherry blossoms decorating them was sitting next to her. In the picture Ichigo smiled brightly with one hand around the man, She had her hair down and a little bellow her shoulders. The man had oil tan skin with raven colored hair was kissing Ichigo's cheek. She sighed and remembered that was all in the past and she had more important things to attend to such as breakfast, so she put the pancake on the plate smothered it in syrup then poured herself a cup of orange juice. After Breakfast before she went out for groceries she flipped the picture over on to its front.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yuki and Naomi ran to the street and then onto the corner, and Yuki squinted his face,

" Do you smell smoke?" he asked as he looked at Naomi.

" No wonder!" Naomi said pointing ahead. As they both came to the yellow caution ribbon type thing.

" Whoa kids you're goanna have to wait." A fat man in a police uniform said to them,

" But we've got to school!" Yuki protested as Naomi tried to get through but the cop pushed her back.

A line of cars blocked the path. Seven cars had slammed into each other, An ambulance took some people away as police charged around the scene.

" We've got to get through." Naomi stated as she grabbed Yuki's hand and she pulled him into a dash towards the cars! Dozens of Police men stood in there way as people gasped and some muttered 'hoodlums' or 'what the heck?'

Naomi crouched and jumped into the air and flew over the cops and cars as peoples mouths dropped and they stared in 'awe' Yuki didn't notice Naomi's ability he just clinged on for his life. When they hit the ground both landed perfectly on there feet.

"Well that's something new." Yuki said as they kept running until they reached a gate. They dashed through the doors into a building and both went different directions.

Naomi ran as fast as she could and almost ran into a group of girls, Before she hit them she bounced on her opposite foot and spun around them and continued running.

"Sorry, I'm late!" Naomi yelled though the girls ignored her apology and shouted vulgar insults to her. She got into the class room and sat down as a women came into the room. She was old and had wrinkles all over her face. Her gray hair was in a bun on the top of her head and she wore a Navy blue dress with a reading glasses dangling of a silver necklace type thing. Her eyes were brown and worn out and her expression was cold.

"Class welcome to seventh grade science, I am Ms.Hamatashi. I'm not here to make friends with you I am here to teach you! And since were now in school I am assigning a science project." She said as every one moaned. "Hush now, As I was saying it is due in four weeks and three days understand! I will pick your partners for you." She said as she took out a clip board with the names of all the people in each group. When she read Naomi's name Naomi immediately shot up her eyes and sat still.

"Naomi, Shinju and Sora in the sixth group." Ms.Hamatashi said as Naomi looked back to see the girls that she almost bumped into smiling at each other and giggling, One of the girls that was in between the other girls had slanted violet eyes, Jet black wavy hair that went past her waist and a small beauty mark below her small pink lips. The two other girls looked like guards to the one in between, one had brown waved hair that ended above her shoulders, she had blue eyes and she was a bit short. Another girl had orange straight hair that stopped a couple inches below her shoulders and brown eyes. Naomi groaned as she sulked in her chair.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After school Naomi and Yuki got home to find the house empty. Yuki stretched as he went upstairs. Naomi went to the kitchen to grab a bite before heading to the park. Shinju and Sora agreed to go to the park to start the project. Naomi had offered to work on the project at her house but they rejected the offer in a rude manner. Shinju, showing off, said her house was a mansion and good quality houses like hers was too far away to walk to. Sora just said she didn't want a merchant soiling her rugs much less her house.
Naomi was about to get a plate when she saw a picture frame flipped over to its front.

'not again.' Naomi thought as she propped it up right. It was a picture of her mom and dad before her dad got in an.. well...accident. After her snack she changed into a red shorts and a white top with ribbons on each side bellow. She didn't want to wear something that would make them think she was trying to show off, She was already on there hate list and she didn't want to take it to another level.

She put on her shoes and opened the door to go to the park. The sky was orange with pink and purple and the clouds were streaks like someone had taken a paint brush and just brushed the paint brush across the sky. She looked to her left and saw her mom pulling in, She walked out and came next to her with groceries bags.

" Hey! How was your first day of school?" She asked as she opened the door.

"Fine, need some help?" Naomi asked as Ichigo shook her head 'no' and put the groceries on the tile and took off her shoes.

"No. Where are you headed?" She asked her as she put away her shoes,

"The park. My new science teacher is assigning us a science project." Naomi said as Ichigo chuckled and told her it was nice that she was making friend, as Naomi protested and then headed off for the park.

Once she met Shinju and Sora there they scolded at her for being late, though she was only two minutes late she apologized and they sat at a near by table.

"So what are we going to do are project on?" Naomi asked as shinju just 'hmphed' at her question. Naomi glared at her as the girl twirled her hair and Sora just giggled.

"Well we have to do it on something!" Naomi said but the girls stayed silent ignoring her.
Naomi couldn't take it anymore they were infuriating!

Shinju and Sora smiled at each other as if planning something.

"Hey your the one who knocked us down aren't you?" Shinju said as Sora nodded her head,

"Hai, I believe she is." Sora said as they smirked.

" It was an accident I was late for class! And I didn't knock you down." She protested while Sora and Shinju still smirked. They both got up and looked down at her.

"Well now, I guess that science projects your problem now isn't it!" Shinju said as her and Sora walked away. And Naomi growled

'there such jerks!' Naomi though as the two girls kept on giggling and walking on without looking back.
Naomi walked out of the park and to her house. She sauntered along as she looked at the buildings, one she past was closed it was the one her mom bought. The paint was chipped of and it looked old. The windows were dusty and it was deserted. It used to be called Cafe Meow Meow or was it Cafe Nyu Nyu? She couldn't remember. She was only a couple blocks away from the park when she realized she had none of her stuff with her, she groaned as she headed back to retrieve them.

Once at the park when she got to the table they were at her stuff was gone.

'Uh Sora and Shinju!' Naomi thought as she went looking for them until she heard a scream, it was coming from the woods. She ran toward where the voice came from and found vines and tree trunks blocking her way and the strange part was they were growing and MOVING! Naomi's face went white when she heard a growl from in the mess, more like a roar actually!

' No such thing as ghost, No such things as monsters, No such thing as ghost, No such things as monsters' she repeated to herself as she tried to climb over the vines and trunks.

'Its like a jungle in here!" She thought as she tripped on a tree trunk that blasted out of the ground at the very last second. She got up and brushed herself off, and muttered something. Suddenly there was another scream and it grew closer. Naomi dashed off to the noise.

She saw a figure on the ground trying to block blows from a mutated woman! She had vines for hair and an ivy colored dress with fangs as her hair tried to hit the other figure. It was Sora! She was trying hard to avoid the vines.

'What can I do?' She thought as she edged behind a tree, It was use less she was use less especaily when her dad was gone and now this!

Now she felt funny like something was about to happen! And then the words hit her as she expressed them loudly.

'MEW MEW STRAWBERRY METAMORPHO-SIS!" She yelled as a pink dress with red rimming on the chest part grew on her along with reddish-purple boots and matching gloves and one of them had a corsage type thing on them. she felt something on her head and they were CAT EARS and then she saw a cat tail out of the corner of her eye and she screamed.

"WHAT UP WITH THIS RIDICULES OUTFIT!" Naomi screamed as she frantically paced around .

" Wait maybe I can help her now." Naomi thought as her face straightened and she leaped from behind the tree.

"Who are you?" Sora asked as Naomi turned around and smiled at her,

"I'm Nao- I mean Mew um Mew Ichigo!" Naomi said thinking it was best not to give herself away just yet.

"Now for you! How dare you attack an innocent person like that For your actions you shall pay, For the future of Tokyo I will be of service! Nya" She said as she did her cat pose. The women attacked her as she leaped back and landed on her feet. The Mutant took another swing at her and Naomi Barely got hit! She felt the same thing and stretched her hand out ward.

" SATORO SUZU (Strawberry bell)!" She yelled as a red heart came into her and on it was a ribbon under a bell.

"RIBBON STRAWBERRY CHECK!" Naomi hollered as a cluster of pink sparkles shot out of the center of the heart. The Mutant Women screamed and turned into a lizard. The lizard scampered away as Sora hugged herself. Naomi kneeled down in front of her and put her hand on her shoulder.

" What happened?" Naomi asked with a soothing voice and calm smile,

" Me and my friend Sh-Shinju wanted to take a short cut through the woods to get home faster but then that.. that th-thing showed up and we ran away. I tripped and asked Shinju for help but she just left me there!" Sora said shivering while Naomi helped her up.

' That Shinju!' Naomi thought as she spat her name like a cuss word.

" Want me to help you get home." Naomi asked as Sora looked at her in awe.

"What is it." Naomi asked as Sora shook her head and said she'd walk alone.

" Are you sure?" Naomi asked as Sora shook her head 'yes'.

Sora walked away and Naomi watched as she turned the corner, Naomi stopped smiling.

" NOW HOW AM I GOING TO CHANGE BACK!" Naomi cried as the outfit melted away and her hair changed back to normal.

" good!" Naomi thought as she walked home and started thinking.

'If this happened today then what might happen tomorrow? This is not a one time thing.' Naomi finished as she looked at the stars, un aware that somebody else was watching her and has been watching ever since the fight.
