In the end she couldn't tell her parents about her Mew self. Ichigo didn't know what she would do if her father started to treat her differently just because of her fighting against his people.
'Our people,' she thought to herself as he laid down on her bed, 'I am half alien and as such they are MY people as well.' She thought back on what powers Kish and the others had showed to them as they fought each other. Deciding to make a Pro and Con list, something she used to do when she was little, Ichigo write out everything she knew about them.
'Pro – I can fly and teleport!
Con – Long pointy ears
Pro – I can summon a different weapon then the Strawberry Bell
Con – weird clothing (Do I even have to wear something like that?)
Pro – Creating different dimensions
Con – Having the Mew Mews hate me
Pro – Finding out something about Dad's past
Con – Having the Mew Mews find out
Pro - ….I can't think of anything
Con – Having Kish chase me even more
Con – My people are dying on a cold barren planet
Con – I might have to decide on who to side with
Con – Having Akasaka and Ryou hate me
Con – The Mew Mews might hunt me down
Con – Aoyama hating me
Con – Not know how this will affect me Mew genes
Con – Having -
I NEED TO STOP THIS!'
Looking down at the list she saw more Cons then Pros. Sighing, she crumpled it up and threw it away in the trash. Getting out her cell phone she dialed Miwa and Moe on group chat, she knew they would listen to her.
"Mushi mushi, This is the awesome miwa here -"
"And this is the even more awesome Moe! And we are -"
""THE DEMONIC DUO!"" Ichigo sweat dropped at the name they came up with for themselves; Then again it might have been the local street gangs that did that.
"So what's up, Ichimew?"
"…..Ichimew? What?"
"Well, you are Mew Ichigo and Moe decided that you needed a new nickname."
"No biggie."
"Riiiight….. Just listen, there's something that I just found out about and I need to talk to someone about it."
"Is it about the Mew bussiness? Anything juicy happening over there?"
"Not exactly Mew Mew related, but more alien then anything."
"Is this about that green haired alien that talks/flirts with you in every battle?"
"Kisshu? No! How do you even know about him flirting with me?"
""We have our resources.""
"….Not even gonna ask." Ichigo whispers to herself before telling them about what happened with her dad. After explaining her new situation to the girls, she waited with bated breath for their replies; It didn't take long.
"AWESOME!"
"You seem to get cooler and cooler Ichigo!"
"Thanks I guess...but what am I going to do about the Mews? Should I tell them? And my parents?"
"I definitely think you should tell your parents, after all, they told you about your dad being an alien, right? And you accepted him for it no problem!"
"Miwa's right, Ichimew! Love for your family knows no bound! I'm sure they will love you no matter what."
"Too right Moe, but you should tell them when you are ready. You sound too nervous right now."
"Thanks guys, and the Mew Mews?"
"Tell the girls in a private setting, Akasaka as well. Ryou...well...I don't know about that douche. He could take it either way."
"Killing him is still up on the table by the way… Just saying."
"I don't want him dead, Miwa! I told you this already!"
"She's right, killing him isn't worth going to jail over."
"Thank you!"
"It's MUCH better to slowly drive him insane by tormenting him throughout the coming days! Just imagine him looking over his shoulder for the rest of his life!"
"See? THIS is why we make such a great team, Moe! You get me!"
"….I'm hanging up now."
""LOVE YOU ICHIMEW!""
Giggling, Ichigo hung up the phone and walked back down the stairs, not even noticing the air ripple behind her.
"Now, what could my little kitty be up to in here?" Kish asked the air as he floated around the room, the word 'alien' grabbed his attention as he flew past the trash can. Grabbing it out he frowned as he read the Pro and Con list she had made. "What on Earth could this be about? Oh well, better have Pai have a look at this." As he teleported back to the base his voice was heard exclaiming the words 'Why is that a con?!'
(Linebreak)
Purin was slowly walking around the Cafe and setting down orders for the customers. Work was harder now that Ichigo quit, showing the girls exactly how much she did around there. Even Mint had to go around taking orders; "Like a commoner no less!"
Of course that didn't faze Ryou, he just ignored the complaints and went about his own business. It seemed to the girls that he was serious about not acknowledging what Ichigo had said to him the other day. Lettuce Sighed and cleaned up yet another dish that she had broken when she tripped over nothing.
"I wonder what Ichigo is doing right now?" She thought out loud, the other girls stopped what they were doing and stood in silence.
"Ichigo-Onee-Chan is probably worried about leaving us all alone! NaNoDa!" Purin exclaimed as she ran up to Lettuce. "We should visit her and tell her that it's going to be alright! Meanie Shirogane will take back his words soon! NaNoDa!"
"Please, Purin, don't try to make her feel better." Mint said as she sat down for some tea, the last customer having already left. "She left us to this mess just because Shirogane couldn't just man up and confess already."
"C-C-CONFESS!" Lettuce's face grew red as she imagined anyone confessing their love for her. "Why do you t-think that, Mint?"
"Isn't it obvious?" She asked in a snobby voice. "He picks on her, looks after her, and even tries to save her first when he comes into the middle of our battles. He has the hots for her, but it might have been the fact that she has a boyfriend already that deters him from confessing."
"So Shirogane loves Ichigo-Onee-Chan and is mean to her because he can't tell her?" Purin asked in confusion. "But that doesn't mean he should be a butt to her! NaNoDa!"
"True, but he seems to be emotionally stunted." Mint explained, calmly drinking her Earl Grey Tea.
"Why don't we go see her tomorrow?" Lettuce suggested to them. "To see if she would come back to work with us?"
"….Fine."
"YAY! NANODA!"
