-Amu's-POV-

"Wow! This hotel is HUGE!" I shouted, peering around the large hotel room. It had a lot of white, with splashes of pastel and black here and there. There was a big bathroom, with a Jacuzzi-size tub. There was also a lounge room, with two large futon couches and a glass coffee table, which was decorated with a stack of coasters and a vase of white roses. The lounge room lead out to the bedroom, and luckily there were two large beds, because no way in hell am I sharing a bed with Ikuto. I dove onto the bed by the window, marking it mine with my suitcase. The beds themselves were amazing. They were queen-sizes, and laden with soft, linen sheets that smelt like lavender and laundry detergent. The head board area was filled with all sorts of pillows and cushions, all matching the colour scheme of the rest of the room

Heck, this wasn't even a hotel room, this was a hotel SUITE!

Ikuto plopped his suitcase on the other bed. He lay on his bed as well. Within minutes he was softly snoring, Yoru also asleep on his chest. I thought this was weird, as it was three in the afternoon.

I smirked and fished around my bag. After a few minutes I found what I was looking for: a cattail. I saw it in the pet shops a few days ago and I thought it would be fun to tease Ikuto with it, with him being the big cat he is. My charas saw it and they smirked too. They knew what I was going to do.

I tip-toed across the room and waved my hand in front of Ikuto's face, just to make sure he was asleep. Seeing that he was, I swished the cattail lightly under his nose. His nose twitched. I swished it again. His ears popped out and his eyes shot open, his entire face forming into the best and cutest nekomimi face ever, complete with the sideways '3' mouth. He tried to grab it, but I moved it out of the way. Yoru, woken from Ikuto's sudden movement, took a swipe at it too. For a few minutes, he was acting like a cat with a piece of string dangled in front of its face ((cat owners you know what that act looks like)) until, seeming fed up with not being able to get the cattail, grabbed my arm that was holding the cattail and pulled, so I was lying across his chest. My face turned cherry red. I looked at his face and saw no sign of pervertedness, just a look of extreme kittyness. I laughed when I saw his gaze still fixated of the cattail.

"Here you are, you overgrown cat." I said, chucking the cattail in his face. But he didn't let go. Wha? Instead he pulled me into a humongous bear-err cat hug. Or should I say a tiger hug or something? I don't know. Then he started purring. Purring. I knew Ikuto was a cat but seriously, purring? Who knew? Before I knew it, he fell asleep again. I pried his arms off (with some difficulty) And went to my already on computer. I IM'ed to Utau (who was luckily online:

PinkX: Hey, Utau, do you know if Ikuto does any cat-like? Like REALLY cat-like? - Amu

She IM'ed back almost instantly:

LunaticSinger: Duh. He doesn't have a cat chara for nothing you know. Why? Planning to do something? - Utau

PinkX: NO! I just wanted to know. What does he do?

LunaticSinger: Well let's see… he purrs and stuff.

PinkX: Yep, I figured as much.

LunaticSinger: You… did?

PinkX: Yeah, let me guess it happens when he plays with cattails and stuff, right?

LunaticSinger: How did you know?

PinkX: I did an experiment. Didn't turn out so well for me :(

LunaticSinger: :( What did he do?

PinkX: Besides almost hugging me to death, not much.

LunaticSinger: What! Ikuto is mi- oh shitake mushrooms.

PinkX: What? What happened?

LunaticSinger: Uh… well everyone is at my house for a party, and Tadase saw me IMing you so he was going to ask me to tell you something, but then he saw your message on how Ikuto hugged you, so now he's all angry and depressed. He's, like, about to chara change and stomp his way to Tokyo to get back his 'girl'.

PinkX: Seriously? Can you tell him that just because he likes me, DOESN'T mean I'm his 'girl'. I mean yeah, sure he's cute and all, but seriously? He's planning to bash up Ikuto because he HUGGED me? Man, that's low.

LunaticSinger: ? I though you liked Tadase.

PinkX: Yeah, when I was 11. I only see him as a friend.

-Utau's house-

Amu IM'ed Utau back.

PinkX: Yeah, when I was 11. I only see him as a friend.

Tadase looked at the screen in disbelief. He couldn't believe that Amu didn't like him back. Utau turned to the distraught Tadase.

"See? You told me to find out if she liked you or not, and there's your answer." Tadase didn't believe it though.

"The cat must have hacked into Amu's account or something. Go to webcam."

Utau sighed. No matter how many signs there were, Tadase continued to believe that Amu was the 'One' and that she liked him back. Just to shut the kiddy king up, she clicked the 'Send Webcam Invitation' button.

-Back in Tokyo-

You have received an invitation to start Webcam. Please click here to accept. To decline the request, please click here.

I clicked the accept button. After a couple of seconds, a big screen showed up on the IM page. I was dark for a moment then colour bed into it as the camera adjusted to the light. Tadase and Utau appeared as the colour focused. Tadase looked sad but Utau looked annoyed. I waved awkwardly to them.

"Uh… hi guys." I said, showing a sheepish smile. They flashed a sheepish smile back. "What's up?"

"Do you like Ikuto?" The random question came from Tadase, surprising. "Answer honestly." His tone indicated he was angry and sad. I blushed a little.

"Of course not!"

"Then why did he hug you?" His bangs hid his eyes.

"The stupid cat was in his stupid nekomimi mode and grabbed me." I pouted defiantly. There was a rustling behind me.

"Aw… Amu that wasn't a very nice comment." Arms wrapped around my middle, as Ikuto rested his chin on my shoulder from behind.

"Tsukiyomi Ikuto!" Tadase pointed dramatically at the screen, earning him some confused stares from our other friends in the background and a sweat drop from Utau.

"Yo." was all Ikuto said. Tadase looked like he was going to charge through the screen.

I was blushing like mad, "Ikuto! Let go of me!" I tried to remove his arms from my waist, with no success.

"Aw… but Amu, you were the one who made me go into 'nekomimi mode' with that cattail." He nuzzled my head. I went 10x as red as before.

Tadase was red too, but with anger. "Let go of her you thieving cat!"

He never showed it in public, but Tadase hated Ikuto's guts. What I wanted to know was why? They grew up together, and they acted like brothers. Then when Tadase and I were 8, Tadase just suddenly hated Ikuto for no apparent reason. Once Tadase tried to throw this bucket of paint at Ikuto (I know what a random idea), but what Tadase didn't count on was Ikuto's fan girls. They would rather die than see their 'dear Ikuto-sama' covered with paint. That day was truly horrifying. 7 girls sacrificed their new outfits to the Evil Paint Bucket of Doom to protect their Ikuto-sama from it, by creating a super effective fan girl barrier. ((haha I loled a lot writing this))

"No thank you, kiddy king. I'm quite comfortable here." He hugged me tighter. I struggled a little but Ikuto's arms were like steel bar, just instead of being cold and hard, they were warm and soft. Wait why am I thinking about Ikuto's arms? That's just too weird.

"Tsukiyomi Ikuto, I swear that I will make Amu mine, and save her from your filthy, evil feline clutches! You are not worthy to be the boyfriend of such a beautiful, delicate princess such as Amu! You will just use her for your own personal gain! I will make Amu my queen!" I was steaming with anger. Tadase is usually nice as and all, but when he wants to, he can be a real ass. And the fact that he was referring to me as a possession, made me even madder. This guy had some nerve.

"Listen Tadagay, I don't know what your problem is, but right now you are being a world-class ass! You hate Ikuto for no reason even though you grew up like brothers! Also I am NOT a POSSESSION! Got it? I am not a shiny plaything that you can flash around. I will not be your queen; I will not be your anything, OK! So shut your pie hole before I fly back and shut it for you! ((lol random quote from the chat))" Steaming was gushing out of my ears in anger. Everyone (including our friends in the background) was staring at my outburst. Kukai walked up to the camera.

"Hey Hinamori, what are you getting all mad about?" He had a goofy grin, as if he already knew the answer. My eyebrows furrowed in anger.

I pointed at Tadase. "This jerk, was talking about me as if I was just an object he could own! And to think I actually had liked him once!"

I humph-ed. Kukai turned to Tadase with a scary look on his face.

"Amu could you repeat that?" I smirked.

"Gladly. Tadase thinks I'm just a shiny object he can flash around a.k.a. a trophy girlfriend." I paused, considering my words, "Not that would ever be his girlfriend, with the way he's acting." I added.

Kukai's face turned scarier. "Nobody. Treats. My. Sister. Like. That." ((no they are not siblings, Kukai just thinks of Amu as a sister))

"You better start running before I kick your ass." Wow. Kukai can be really scary when he wants to.

Tadase was terrified of Kukai, so he scrutinized me and Ikuto and then as fast as Utau eating a bowl of ramen in a ramen-eating contest, he was out of there. We all looked at each, exchanging matching glances, and then cracked up laughing. Even Ikuto joined in. And Rima. I was laughing so hard I fell of my chair and onto, you guessed it, Ikuto. Ikuto seemed quite happy about it though. In fact, he didn't want me to get up. I sighed.

After minutes of struggling, I managed to escape Ikuto's evil super-strength appendages he called arms. Everyone was crowding around the camera, with various looks on their faces. Yaya and Kukai looked like they were about to faint. Rima and Kairi had no expression, except Rima had the slightest look of anger. Nagihiko and Utau were shell-shocked. I looked at the little display. My hair was a mess and my clothes were ruffled. Nothing too bad. They still wore their respective faces.

"What?" Still silence. I thought back on the situation. Then it hit me.

"Ahem, sorry to disappoint you, but what just happened isn't what you thought it was. Translation: No I was NOT kissing Ikuto!" I yelled. They have such dirty minds. They, on the other hand, were amazed.

"Wow, how'd you know we were thinking that?" asked Nagi. I put on a spooky voice and wiglled my fingers.

"I can read minds~" I sang spookily.

"Yeah, right Amu." Rima said expressionless.

"Haha, I'm kidding. You are all too predictable." I snickered. "Anyway, I'm getting hungry, so I'm going to drag Ikuto off to a restaurant or something, bye!" I shut down the computer. Ikuto got off the floor.

He looked puzzled. "They thought I was kissing you?" then he went into pervy mode. "Not that I wouldn't."

I hit him upside the head. "In your dreams, perverted nekomimi boy."

He smirked. "How'd you know?"

I hit him again. "Now if your done, we are going to a café whether you like it or not."

With that, I grabbed his arm and ran out of the building faster than a cheetah on steroids. ((haha I love making random referances))

~SCTMM~

-Café-Mew-Mew-

-Normal-POV-

Sigh. The café was still busy. At least they actually got Mint to help this time. In fact, she was the most productive of them. Ichigo thought she really should have played the 'working with Zakuro' card before.

The doors opened to reveal the next customers. Just an old couple. From the way they looked, She'd say they would order tea and a cake to share. Ichigo was surprised when they did order tea and a cake to share. Maybe she'd been in the waitress business too long.

The doors opened again, this time to reveal a young couple. At least, they looked like a couple. You could tell just by looking at them that they fit together, like pieces of a puzzle, or your missing half.

The girl was about Zakuro's age ((remember in the Japanese version, Zakuro is 15/16)) she had shoulder-length bubblegum pink hair, not unlike the colour of my Mew Ichigo form. She had yellow eyes as golden as honey, and showed kindness, but you could tell if you pissed her off, you would regret it. Her face was pretty in a childish way, with full cheeks and dimples, unlike Zakuro's sultry beauty. She wore a gold chain, with a golden lock with four heart-shaped crystals arrange in a four-leafed clover, as a pendant. She also had a red plaid pouch of some sorts, attached to her belt. The pouch had a chain across the front, with a red heart, blue spade, green clover and yellow diamond charms on it.

The boy was about 18. He had midnight locks that were a bit longer than you would usually see on a boy. He had dark blue-violet eyes to match. His eyes were different from the girl's. Although now they were filled happiness and love, there was a hint of sorrow from memories of loneliness long-gone. His face was very handsome, too, hot maybe. He was lean, but not skinny. Hanging off his belt on a keychain was a key that matched the girl's lock pendant. Ichigo thought that was sweet, they really did look like a couple.

The cute couple sat down at a window table. Ichigo quickly wrapped up the order of the table she was currently serving. She wanted to e the one to serve the couple, because they reminded her of what she hoped would be Masaya and her someday. As she quickly served the other tables she was assigned to, she noticed that while the boy looked at the girl lovingly, the girl wasn't. Every time she looked at the boy she would look away, slightly red but then cover up her mistake by pretending to be angry. Ichigo guessed the girl liked the boy, but would never admit it.

Finally Ichigo finished her tables and made her way to the couple. They were talking.

"For the last time, Ikuto. I am not sharing a cake with you." The girl said. The boy, Ikuto, groaned.

"Aw, but Amu-" he started but the girl, Amu apparently, cut him off.

"No. You've been asking me for the past five minutes." She crossed her arms. "So the answer stays no."

"Aw, that not fair…" he fake-pouted. "How about if I pay, we share."

Amu looked at him. "Fine but no way in hell, is my fork touching yours. That would be an indirect kiss." Wow the girl was childish alright, worrying about forks touching.

"Finally, my little Ichigo actually agrees with me." Ikuto said. Ichigo shuddered, not only at the fact that the guy had unknowingly just said her name, even if he wasn't referring to her, but also that the way he said it sounded like how Kisshu called Ichigo 'koneko-chan'. It was said teasingly, but underneath the tease was a loving tone. Ichigo eyes widened. Love? Oh no, she did NOT just think that. Kisshu was the enemy. There was no way he would love her. Ichigo shook her head. Not that she had any feelings for him anyway, of course.

She grabbed her notepad and walked to Ikuto and Amu. They looked at her as she approached.

"Hi, welcome to Café Mew Mew. What can I get you?" She held up her notepad, ready to write. Amu spoke first.

"Um…" She looked at the menu, "I'll have a chocolate milkshake and a slice of strawberry and vanilla cake."

Ikuto looked at Amu. "Better watch what you eat, Amu. You're going to get fat with all the sugar you eat."

Amu turned a very angry red. She hit Ikuto on the side of the head. "I am not fat, you baka nekomimi boy!" she yelled. Ichigo sweat dropped at Amu's short fuse. Then she tensed when she recalled Amu's words. Nekomimi? Did that mean that this boy, Ikuto, was a catboy? Was he a Mew? That would be weird, considering all the Mews were female. She remembered that strange power she felt earlier. Was this what it meant? Ichigo made a mental note to ask Ryou later. She turned to Ikuto, feeling scared he might know she was a cat person to or something, if he was a cat person himself.

"And you?"

Ikuto looked at his menu.

"Chocolate ripple cake with a double chocolate ice cream." Ichigo gaped. No one had ever ordered that much chocolate. Amu giggled nervously.

"He likes chocolate." She stated simply. She glared at Ikuto. "And he says I'm going to be fat." she had a slightly evil aura around her, remembering the boy's negative comment.

Ichigo zoned out for a moment, writing down the order. Ikuto rubbed the back of his head, clearly being able to see Amu's aura.

"Now, now, my Ichigo, please don't burn the place down."

Ichigo looked up at the apparent calling of her name. "You say something?"

Ikuto looked at her, kind of puzzled. "Er… I said 'Now, now, my Ichigo, don't burn the place down' to Amu."

Ichigo blushed at her mistake. "Sorry, I thought you said my name for some reason, because my name is Ichigo."

"Ah… your name matches your hair then." he said, giving her a smirk. Ichigo blushed some more. Amu hit Ikuto again.

"Ikuto! Leave the poor girl alone. She doesn't need your perviness!" Amu yelled. Ichigo mentally gasped.

This Ikuto guy was acting more and more like Kisshu every second. I mean they both had girls who were somehow always angry at me, both called those girls by weird nicknames that seemed to fit, both were perverts and… both were kind of cute. Wait cute? Did Ichigo just really call Kisshu cute? What is going on? Obviously this Ikuto guy was messing with her head. She had to get out of there as soon as possible. Ichigo gave them a quick 'ok I'm going now' smile and headed off to the kitchen. As soon as she entered she started hyperventilating. Lettuce, sensing her friend and fellow Mew's distress came over to see what was wrong.

"Ichigo-san what's wrong?" she asked.

"Oh nothing. Just that there's a guy that has the same freaking personality as my stalker!"

Lettuce was puzzled. "How so?"

"Well let's see… He calls the girl he likes by a weird nickname and he is apparently a pervert according to the girl, who seems to always be angry with him, like me and Kisshu. Another thing that's weird is that the nickname is my name; he calls her his Ichigo, probably because she has pink hair. Oh and she seems to go red-faced a lot."

Lettuce nodded, understanding. A week before, Lettuce had asked Ichigo what it was about Kisshu that irritated her, besides being the enemy. The answers were the exact same reasons that she had just said.

Keiichiro noticed the two girls' conversation. "What are you girls talking about?"

They jumped. "Oh nothing Akasaka-san! Just giving Lettuce some orders, that's all!" Ichigo said hurriedly. She thrust the notepad into Lettuce's hands. "OK there you go, Lettuce. I'm going to wait some more tables now, BYE!" Ichigo ran out the kitchen so fast she seemed to have teleported from there to table 5. The poor customers at table 5 nearly had a heart attack at the sudden appearance of the waitress. "Oops. Sorry! We are having a busy day so we have to move fast. What can I get you?"

-With Ikuto and Amu-

Ikuto watched the waitress run into the kitchen, only to come out half a minute later, materializing at a nearby table, which scared the poor customers out of their chairs. The waitress, Ichigo, hurriedly apologized and took the table's order. He turned away from the ditzy waitress, to look at Amu, who was eating a stick of complimentary pocky. His Amu. He would never lose Amu to the kiddy king, or any other man, no matter what. Amu was his angel. Amu looked at him with an annoyed expression.

"Why are you staring at me?" she scowled. He smirked.

"I was just admiring your lovely features." he stated, taking a stick of pocky. Amu eyes narrowed.

"Yeah right. I have a pimple don't I?" she searched through her bag, looking for a pocket mirror. Even if she found it, Ikuto knew she wouldn't find any blemish. Amu's skin was flawless. He tore his eyes away from Amu just in time to see the red-haired waitress one step from slipping in a puddle from a spilt drink that hadn't been cleaned up yet.

The waitress did slip in the puddle, throwing the tray laden with cakes that she was carrying, but instead of falling on her butt like anyone else would do, Ikuto watched amazed as the waitress did a back flip and landed on her feet with cat-like grace. She even grabbed the tray and caught all the cakes, not one damaged. Ikuto was shocked, what the hell was she? A martial artist? A circus freak? A... cat person? Ikuto pushed that thought out of his head. It wouldn't be possible to do cat-like movements without a cat-like chara change (like his own) and the waitress had neither ears nor tail, so that conclusion was scratched.

The waitress, Ichigo, looked sheepish from the amazed stares around her. "Heh, heh, I have… good reflexes?" she tried. It seemed enough for the onlookers, who went back to their conversations. The waitress came to Amu and Ikuto's table and set down three dishes.

"Here's your food. Your drinks will be here soon." she hurried off to deliver the rest of the cakes. She called out to the blue waitress. "Mint! There's a spill near table 8."

"Hai!" The blue one said. She hurried over with a mop and bucket and set to work.

Ikuto and Amu ate their cake in silence. The charas came out of their eggs to eat with us. Luckily no one could see them, even the red waitress, which proved Ikuto's theory that Ichigo didn't have a cat chara.

Suddenly Miki tensed. Amu noticed this straight away.

"What is it Miki?" she asked worried.

The blue chara frowned. "I can sense some negative energy similar to an X-egg, but it doesn't feel like an X-egg."

The other charas concentrated. They all said: "We can feel it too, Amu-chan/Ikuto."

Amu looked at Ikuto, and came to a mutual agreement. They both stood up, leaving their cake half-eaten, charas floating behind them. They walked to the counters. The cashier was a man with blonde hair and a black vest, about 17. He looked up as they approached.

"So sorry, but we forgot that we had something else planned." Ikuto said, handing over the cash.

"Oh that's fine. What did you not eat from your order?" his tone suggested that he was slightly arrogant.

"My ice cream and Amu's milkshake."

"OK then we won't charge you for those." He handed back the correct change. Ikuto quickly pocketed it.

They left the café in the next second.

-With Ichigo-

Ichigo felt the familiar dark energy of a Kimera Anima wash over her. She quickly rushed to the other waitresses, telling them. She also told Ryou.

"Get everyone to the basement." he said, and Ichigo obeyed. He then called on the PDA. "So sorry people, but it seems that our appliances have broken down. Please finish your food and pay as soon as you can. If your food didn't get brought to you, don't worry, we won't charge you." He then flipped the 'OPEN' card over to 'CLOSED'.

-Ikuto's-POV-

We ran towards the source of the dark energy. From the way we were going, I guessed that it was near the centre of the park. Amu was panting, and so was I, so we both did a chara change to reduce the effects, but we kept to the trees, so no one would see a flying girl and a catboy. We soon reached the source.

It definitely wasn't an X-egg, alright.

It was a big monster. And when I say big I mean HUGE. It was easily 15 feet high. It was some sort of deformed cat. ((too lazy to describe so picture the lion in the amusement park episode))

All in all, it was freaking scary. Amu looked at me and I looked at her.

"My own heart: unlock." we both said, but Amu did those hand gestures around the lock while I just stood there.

"Chara Nari: Amulet Hear." Amu said.

"Chara Nari: Black Lynx." I said.

Amu's Chari Nari consisted of a pale pink midriff tank top with frills around the edges and had the Humpty Lock, softly glowing pink light, attached to the front as a charm. She had a short pale pink pleated cheerleader skirt, with a bow with trailing ribbons as a belt. She wore pink track shoes which were accompanied by a pair of pale pink leg warmers and she had pink armlets. Her pink hair was tied up in an untidy side ponytail and wore a transparent visor, with a large dark pink heart attached to it.

My Nari had a black leather midriff shirt that had no sleeves, and had a large cross attached to the front. I also had black leather pants and black boots. My sleeves were not attached to the shirt, but they came up around my biceps. A large metal claw was attached to my right wrist. My shirt had a high collar; with two strips of material that made it look like a cape. And of course I had my dark blue cat ears and tail.

The monster cat was enraged at us for interrupting its fun. It slashed at us, but we easily dodged it by jumping over it. I swiped again and again, with no success. Until Amu was a split-second too late. The monster slashed her across the stomach, leaving shallow gashes across her skin. I was outraged. I jumped between Amu and the monster.

"You like clawing? I'll give you clawing! SLASH CLAW!" With that I slashed the monster across the face, leaving deep gashes and hopefully blinding the eye I had slashed across. I smirked, satisfied… well satisfied until the monster went for it again. Then I Slash-Claw-ed it's ass. By then Amu finally managed to stand up, ignoring her injury.

"Heart Rod!" her Rod appeared. It's basically a pink baton with dark pink heart-shaped crystals attached to the ends.

"Spiral Heart Special!" the monster was tied up with ribbons of pink light. Amu cupped her hands in front of her, in the shape of a heart.

"Negative Heart! Lock on!" The monster was enveloped in a heart-shaped bubble that acted as a cage.

"Open Heart!" The Humpty Lock burst into light, sending a beam of glowing hearts at the monster. The monster shrieked in protest and struggled in its bonds, but couldn't get out.

Eventually the monster shrank into a common alley cat, while a jellyfish-like thing floated away from it. Amu finished Open Heart and stumbled with the exhaustion of using it while injured. I caught her just in time, holding her bridal style. She was really red in the face.

"Ikuto, you didn't to hold me you know." I let her down, making sure she was able to walk. Suu flew over and healed Amu's injury with a chara-version of Remake Honey. Suddenly, a creepy laugh rang through the air and I was thrown to the side, about 50m away from Amu. A person appeared out of nowhere.

He was about 12. He had green hair that was short at the back and had bunches tied up in front of his ears. His ears were like an elf's and were, like, a foot long. His skin was pale white, too white for humans, and it stood out from his dark, outlandish clothes. Not that I thought he was human in the first place, considering the ears and the fact that he was floating. He had yellow slitted eyes, which made me outraged, because they were the same shade as Amu's, but he made the usually beautiful colour look evil and cold. He had sharp fingernails that sort of looked like claws, I guess. As for his fashion sense, I'm not that much of a clothes person but I reckon any critic would give him a zero.

"Well, well, well, I didn't know that anyone outside the Mews could purify my Kimera Animas." He said, observing us. "Though you kinda of look like a Mew, with those stupid cat ears." Oh no, he didn't. He did not just insult my ears. My ears are damn well better than his! And what was a Mew? And why did he say I looked like one?

My train of thought stopped when I saw the alien make his way over to Amu, who obviously got hit by the strange power and she wasn't fully recovered from her injury, so she was kneeling on the ground. The alien studied her.

"Ha ha, you look like an older version of my sweet koneko-chan." he cupped her chin to turn it up towards him. "Yes, you really do look like Ichigo. Except the eyes. You have my eyes. Isn't it nice to have something in common? Yes, it looks like I have a new plaything."

"PLAYTHING!" Amu shouted, "WHO THE FREAK SAID I WAS YOUR FREAKING PLAYTHING!" Then Amu did what only Amu would do. She punched him in the face, who collasped. She glared down at the boy.

"You think I don't get enough pervertedness from Ikuto? Beat it, kid!" The kid's body was shaking. Ha, the coward was crying.

"Serves you right." I added, "No one is allowed to be perverted to Amu except me."

Then we heard snickering. I figured it out. The kid was shaking with laughter. OK now I'm pissed.

"Jeez, you sure punch hard." The boy picked himself up off the ground and met Amu's eyes. "Just as feisty as Ichigo." Ichigo? Why was that name familiar? Who the freak was this kid?

"You know, since Ichigo doesn't accept me, maybe I should take you as a replacement." His eyes started to glow. He grabbed Amu's wrist. "Come on. Bye, baka neko!"

Amu tried to pull herself free but couldn't. Man, if that stupid power didn't have me paralysed I would totally be kicking this guy's ass. The power was in my mind, as if restraining my will with a wrestling hold.

Even though Amu couldn't pull free, she stayed rooted. The alien gave a hard tug and Amu whimpered a little with pain. That. Is. It.

I freaking kicked the paralysis power with my will and it shattered. At the speed of light I ran towards the pair and totally socked the alien in the face, 1000x harder than Amu. I used my left hand, because I didn't want a shish-kebabbed head on my claw. I was a really cool punch anyway; the guy flew like 20m. Amu looked shell-shocked. I was shocked too. Who knew I could hit that hard?

The guy seemed really angry though. He bought out one of those jellyfish things from before and threw it at an ant.

"FUSION!" The ant grew until it was the size of the cat before. Not again. Amu and I prepared to fight.

"Ribbon Strawberry Surprise!" A girl's voice rang out. Th ant was attacked with a cloud of sparkle before turning into an ant again. The jellyfish was eaten by this fluffy pink thing. Amu and I looked around for the source of the attack. Finally, 5 figures jumped out of the trees.

The first was a cat girl. She had shoulder-length pink hair like Amu's and dark pink eyes. She wore a sugar pink strapless dress, garter, armlets and choker. She also had dark pink wrist gloves and knee high boots. She had black cat ears and tail. She carried a pink heart weapon with a bell attached to a golden plaque on the front. She was around 12.

The second had dark blue hair in buns and light blue eyes. She had a teal leotard, gloves, armlets, garter, choker and ankle boots. She had dark blue wings and tail. She carried a light blue bow with the same plaque as the pink girl attached to the finger hold. She was around 12 too.

The third had short lime green hair with a single long braid and light green eyes. She wore a dark green leotard, boots, armlets, choker and garter. She had two pale green antennae sticking out of her hair. She carried two dark green castanets. She was around 13.

The fourth was blonde with lots of little braids and had yellow-orange eyes. She wore a yellow leotard, armlets, legwarmers, choker and garter along with brown fingerless gloves and martial artist shoes. She had brown monkey ears and tail. She had a yellow tambourine in one hand and a brown ring in the other. She looked about 10.

The fifth and final girl had long lavender hair and dark blue eyes. She wore red-violet bra top, short-shorts, garter, armlets, boots, choker and bracelets. Her weapon was a pale purple cross with a whip of light attached. She had grey wolf ears and tail. She was around 15.

Pinky was determined, the Blunette was impassive, Green was looking down shyly, Yellow was bouncing around excitedly and Violet was bored.

Judging from their expressions their equivalent in our group would be:

Pink girl – Amu

Blue girl – Rima

Green girl – actually don't know a shy looking girl

Yellow girl – Yaya

Purple girl – Rima again, maybe a bit of Utau

Pinky was the first to react.

"Kisshu!" she shouted, pointing at the alien. The alien looked at her.

"Ah, Ichigo, so nice of you to drop in!" he said. Ah, do this was Ichigo. I see what the alien, Kisshu, meant about Amu's looks. "I hope you like my present!"

"Wait what present?" Ichigo demanded, but Kisshu just laughed and teleported away. Wait what?

We heard a growl from behind us. We all turned around to see at least 10 of those monsters staring back. Oh, shitake mushrooms.

Amu was irritated. "Oh screw this. Suu switch!"

While the other girls were wondering what Amu meant, Amu Chara Nari'ed into Amulet Clover. Clover had a puffy waitress' dress with a frilly white apron, gloves and knee high socks. She had black buckle shoes and a white headdress with a large dark green clover pinned to it. Amu's hair was tied up in two pig tails.

"Chara Nari: Amulet Clover." She said. The other girls were still facing the monsters, but I saw the sneak a look at Amu, and boy, were they surprised. They probably only had one form. Amu trudged up to the frontline. Ichigo was scared for and irritated at Amu, I could see that. Amu just blew her off and summoned her Clover Whisk. She looked at the monsters dead in the eye, somehow all at once.

"Remake Honey!" The golden bubbles of honey drifted towards the monsters, who had no idea of what was happening. As the bubbles popped when it came in contact with a monster, the monsters shrieked and hissed, turning into their original forms and the jellyfishes got eaten by the fuzzy thing.

I turned to look at the girls. They were gaping at the scene. Clearly for them usually it takes a few attacks to defeat one monster, but Amu just took down 10 with one hit.

I turned back to Amu. I was scared when I saw that the glow was fading from the Lock, which could only mean that Amu was over-using its power.

I saw Amu's eyes begin to flicker close. She stared to fall forward unconscious but I caught her again. Ichigo looked at her worriedly.

"Is she alright?" she asked.

"She's fine. She just used to much power." I replied. Then Blunette came over.

"She gets exhausted after 10 Animas? Wow, she must be weak, I've taken down more than that." she bragged. I was strongly reminded of my school's resident show-off, Yamabuki Saaya.

"Oh yeah? At one time? With one blow?" Ichigo said. They were rivals I guessed. I checked Amu again and saw the Lock was still fading. If it faded fully I knew Amu would Un-Chara Nari, and that would put her identity in crisis.

"Ja ne." I said and hopped away into a tree. Ichigo jumped up too.

"Just wait a minute! Who are you? And who is she?" she asked.

"Call me Lynx. And this is Joker." I said, thinking of the first things that came to mind. My Nari was called Black Lynx, and Amu was the Joker Chair of the Guardians.

Ichigo put on a puzzled expression "What kind of names are those?"

"Codenames. Bye." before she could say anything, I hopped away onto the buildings of Tokyo.
