The Violin Girl looked at her captors. Her eyes rested on Tokima. "What do you want, Toshiki?"

Tokima twitched. "Don't call me that, Merodi."

"I think they know each other," Kisshu muttered.

The girl glared at Tokima. "First, it's Melody, not Merodi," Melody said, crossing her arms. "Second, I know you're not a full alien," she grinned, "And I also know your secret."

Tokima attacked her after hearing the last word. Melody easily dodged and kicked him in the shin. To everyone's surprise, even to the other aliens, Tokima sprouted two falcon wings and a tail. Melody smiled. "See? He's not an alien, he's a Chimera Anima!"

Taruto blinked. "Eh? How is that possible?" He looked from Tokima then to Melody, but she already escaped.


After a bit, Melody found herself in front of Cafe Mew Mew. She clutched her violin tightly and walked inside.

She walked straight to the closest maid, who happened to be Pudding. "Um, c-can I speak t-to Ryou S-shirogane?" Her early confidence when speaking to the aliens was gone, so she stuttered a lot.

"Okay, na no da!" Melody blinked as Pudding cheerfully walked to the back of the store. How can someone be so cheery? she thought.

She blinked as Ryou walked up to her. She felt her confidence rising. Again. "I can help you find the last two Shards," she said. "I know a lot about the aliens and Mews."

Ryou wasn't sure whether or not to trust Melody. She patted her violin case. "I can show you how much I know."


Ryou, Keiichiro, Melody, and the Mews (in their human forms, of course) gathered in the basement. Ichigo held the conjoined shards.

Melody took out her violin, and played a song. It had a strange sound to it, as it felt like ghosts surrounded everyone who heard it.

Before they knew it, everyone was surrounded in a bright light. Ichigo's was a bit different, as she was surrounded by a pink light. Everyone in the room disappeared, only leaving the violin.


Creepy... The next few chapters will be explaining Tokima's past and why Melody knows about the Mews and the aliens.
