~Café Mew Mew~
-Third-POV-
The Mews were in the basement of Café Mew Mew, along with Ryou and Keiichiro, a picture of the mysterious could-be allies on the large TV screen. One half of the screen was a slideshow filled with pictures of the pink-haired girl, codename Joker, attacking the Animas in both her known forms, and the other half was filled with pictures of the blue-haired boy, codename Lynx, also attacking.
Ryou was studying both at the same time. He had already studied the video that had been recorded from different angles, through the camera device implanted in the Mews' pendants, able to be controlled at the base. These pictures were merely screenshots, so he could study the finer details of the two heroes.
He had already concluded they were good, because they had not attacked the Mews and purified the Animas. He had many unsolved questions about them. He couldn't find much else. What intrigued him most was Joker's purifying ability and Lynx's cat ears. He had already gone through the data of the DNA Infuser to make there were no extra Mews created. So that meant Lynx was not, as the Mews' first thought, a Mew. So how did he get the cat ears? That was another unsolved question.
As for Joker, the Mews' had reported that the girl had used a whisk to purify the Animas. At least they thought it was a whisk, as Joker was dressed as a maid. The Mews' also said Joker had another form, a cheerleader one. A maid and a cheerleader? Those are unusual choices for a transformation, he thought.
The only conclusion he could come to about the way of transforming, is that the pair had not gained it through science, as the Mews did. Ryou, never being the one for spiritual explanations, always thinking science could explain it, was at a dead-end.
The Mews looked at him expectedly and a little impatiently. He didn't blame them though, as he had them standing there for at least an hour, while he scrambled his brain for a logical explanation. He returned to his pondering, a hand stroking his chin in thought.
Ichigo was just about to explode. Was it that hard for Ryou to explain what was going on? Ryou, the guy that always had a smart-ass answer for everything? Ryou, the guy who started this whole mess in the first place?
Ichigo let out a huff. She looked at the others. They also had impatient looks on their faces. She turned to Ryou, who had his back to them, staring at the screen. The screen showed the final picture, which was of Lynx carrying Joker bridal-style.
Ichigo kept staring at the boy's face. His hair was hanging in his eyes, as if he was hiding behind a curtain of blue hair. His eyes were hidden by his hair, making them hard to see. What part of his eyes you could see were the same colour as his hair, camouflaging them. She felt like she'd seen him before, somewhere.
The girl he was carrying had shoulder-length pink hair, and even though they were closed now, Ichigo knew she had honey-gold eyes. Around her neck was a gold lock, worn like a pendant. Wait a minute! Ichigo had a flashback.
-Flashback-
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. She had shoulder-length bubblegum pink hair, not unlike the colour of Ichigo's 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…
*WHITENESS*
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…
*WHITENESS*
"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…
*WHITENESS*
The couple tensed, as if something was wrong. They stood up abruptly, and rushed over to the counter. In a minute, they were very nearly running out the door…
*WHITENESS*
Ichigo and the Mews watched the new heroes from in a tree. The boy had cat ears and the girl had a visor with a red heart attached. They had just arrived at the ended of their transformation, making their identities a mystery.
"Chara Nari: Amulet Heart."
"Chara Nari: Black Lynx."
*WHITENESS*
The girl looked irritated. "Oh screw this! Suu switch!"
While the Mews were dumbfounded about what the girl meant, the girl was engulfed in gold light. When the light died down, her pink cheerleader's uniform had changed into a dark green maid's dress. Her headband had a large dark green clover pinned to it.
"Chara Nari: Amulet Clover."
*WHITENESS*
Pink hair, gold eyes, lock pendant, red heart and green clover charms, red heart and green clover barrettes, Amulet Heart, Amulet Clover, Amulet… Amu-let… Amu…
*WHITENESS*
Blue eyes and long blue hair, matching key, nekomimi, Black Lynx, Lynx, Lynx getting very protective when Joker gets hurt and harassed by Kisshu, Lynx… Neko… nekomimi… Ikuto…
-End Flashback-
Ichigo gasped in surprise. She looked at the others from her new view point on the ground. She must've fallen over when she was having her epiphany. Lettuce spoke first.
"Ichigo-san, are you OK?" she asked, offering a hand. Ichigo accepted it and Lettuce pulled her onto her feet.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just had one of those epiphany flashback things, like the ones fanfiction authors usually use as a device to speed up a story, that's all." She wiped her hands on her apron, removing the very thin layer of dirt that had collected on them from being on the floor. Everyone sweatdropped at Ichigo's weird metaphor. Since when did Ichigo read fanfiction? If she did, they all hoped she stayed to the non-evil ((*cough* lemon *cough*)) side of it.
"What was your epiphany?" Akasaka asked. Ichigo squinted in concentration.
"I think I know who those two are." She pointed at the picture on the screen. "They were eating at the Café yesterday. I served them."
"We could go through the security tapes to see." Ryou suggested. They all nodded.
Ryou went to his computer and loaded yesterday's security tape of the door. "What time was it around?"
"I'd say around 3. It was about 20 minutes after Pudding fell off that beach ball and smashed those strawberry tarts." Ichigo answered.
Ryou fast-forwarded the security tape. Customers rushed in and out of the door until…
"Stop there!" Ryou hit pause. The picture showed an old couple. Everyone was thinking: That was them? "Those were the old people that came in before them." Oh… She pointed at the very edge of the video. A bit of dark grey hair, almost black was sticking out of the corner. If the video had been in colour, the dark grey hair would've been dark blue. "That's his hair. Put it in slow-motion."
Ryou did as instructed. The video was 2x slower than normal speed. With agonising slowness the young couple's faces came into view. At the perfect moment, Ryou paused the video. The picture was a perfect head shot of the couple. Ichigo gestured to the screen. "See?"
Zakuro stepped up. She studied the lock around the girl's neck. "Ryou, can you put a split screen of the lock Joker wore?"
Ryou posted up the picture. Zakuro squinted at the low-detail security video then to the picture of Joker. "Zoom in on both pendants, will you?"
The screen cropped the images to the pendant and expanded them. Now Ryou, being the smarty-pants he was, realized what Zakuro was doing. He ran a scan over both locks to get the shapes of them. Two blue prints hung side-by-side while the cropped images were minimized to thumbnails in their respective corners. He used his genius mind to alter the prints so they faced forward, getting rid of the oblique angle of the pictures. He then used a similarity scan. The scan came up positive.
"So they have the same lock. Who cares? Could be a coincidence." Mint sneered, being the smart-ass she is, since her goody-two-shoes time for the month was taken up by her fan girl act.
Ichigo had her jaw open. "Why the heck would you use that scan thing on the lock? Why wouldn't you use it on the faces?"
Ryou blinked. Why didn't he think of that? He did the same thing but with the faces. He found two pictures of each that had the same expression, neutral, and scanned them. Positive.
"Looks like you were right, for once anyway, Ichigo." Ryou said. Ichigo turned red in anger.
"The only time you compliment me, and it's also an insult! Thanks a lot, Ryou!" She crossed her arms and pouted, looking away.
"You're welcome." He obviously knew she was being sarcastic, but he couldn't resist winding Ichigo up. It was so fun. He could see why Kisshu did it. Ichigo huffed and threw her hands in the air. She stomped out of the room. After 10 seconds or so she popped her head through the door frame.
"Just so you know, since Ryou's being mean to me, I won't tell you the names of them. Not until you apologize to me, Ryou!" She left again.
Ryou shook his head. What a drama queen, he thought, like I actually need the names to find out who they are. I could just hack into the Japanese population data base and find them by picture.
He tried to find them on the Japanese population data base. Key word: tried. The pictures came up with results but he couldn't open two of them. He tried every hack in the book, but none worked. It was as if no one wanted someone to find out their identities.
Little did Ryou know that a long way away, another smart blonde-haired man was sitting at his computer, checking the firewalls, locks and every other type of other cyber security he could slap on those two files. Tsukasa smiled.
"Sorry whoever you are, but I know that there is something going on in Tokyo. Those files are not to be read. It is for the safety of those two."
On his desk were some cards. There were the coloured and black-and-white jokers. Also they were the Queen, Two, Three, Four and Five of Hearts. They were grouped together at one end of the table. On the other side of the table was the King, Jack, Three and Four of Spades and the Six of Hearts. The Six of Hearts and King of Spades were side-by-side, with the Six closer to the other Hearts. The Jack was closest to the other Hearts, with the Four and Three of Spades still a long way behind, but closer than the King, the Four in front of the Three. ((For those who can't imagine this well, there a picture link on my profile))

~Ikuto's and Amu's Hotel Room~
-Ikuto's-POV-
I jumped through the open hotel window. With cat-like grace, I landed on the floor of the hotel room. I walked over to Amu's bed and laid Amu on top of it. I also put a blanket over her, since she was shivering from the long ride. She had un-transformed a while back and that had still been when we were half-way here. I was exhausted, since I was the one carrying her. I didn't feel like doing much, so I just jumped on my bed and fell asleep, not worrying about the blankets.
-Third-POV-
Amu woke up feeling very warm. She was something soft. A bed? Ikuto must've carried me here, she thought.
She flipped her head to see what the warmth was, only to come nose-to-nose with an unconscious Ikuto. Her face turned cherry red as she realised that Ikuto was hugging her if it was the last day on Earth. She poked him in the cheek.
"Ikuto?" she called. Nothing. Ikuto continued to softly snore.
"Ikuto!" she very nearly jabbed his eye out. Ikuto winced and blearily opened one eye.
"Amu, why are you in my bed?" he asked, raising a hand to rub the sleep out of his eyes, one hand still firmly locked around Amu. Amu went evil mode.
"I could ask you the same thing! Why are you in MY bed, perverted neko!" she yelled. She then continued to beat the crap out of him. Poor Ikuto became a kitty crepe ((the really thin pancake things)) and floated onto the floor, covered in fist prints. Amu blew a raspberry at him, and then proceeded to dump her duvet and pillows on him, as a punishment. So now Ikuto was a fist-print-filled kitty crepe mountain of various bedding items.
As Ikuto started to unearth himself, Amu went to go brush her teeth. The mirror in the bathroom was huge. She heard a thump from the room, but ignored it. She was rinsing out her mouth when Yoru somehow came flying through the bathroom door, and straight in the mirror, cracking it slightly.
"Ah crap! Yoru, we have to pay for damages, you know!" She picked up the dazed chara with cupped hands and carried him out back into the bedroom. She placed him next to his egg and turned to her own charas. Ran and Suu were looking at Miki with WTF looks, while Miki had a red face, with throbbing veins on her head and fist, which was held in front of her. She refused to look at Yoru.
Ikuto was lying on his own bed, oh so innocently whistling while reading… a dictionary? Amu shot him a glare, telling him nonverbally she knew he had a part in whatever got Miki all wound up. She crossed her arms.
"Alright what happened?" no one answered. Amu got a throbbing vein.
"Fine! If no one is going to tell me, you can pay for the mirror!"
Ikuto looked bored as he turned a page of his 'book'. "I can do that. After all, you know I'm rich and stuff. It wouldn't dent my savings at all."
"Ah shut up Ikuto! Not all of us can get a Mercedes for their birthday, as a present to themselves!" she yelled at him. "Another thing, why are you reading a dictionary?"
Ikuto looked down, searching for a logical answer. "I'm… studying… for an English test?"
Amu sweatdropped. "That's the Japanese dictionary, genius."
"Right! I meant Japanese test!"
Amu looked at him suspiciously. After a while, she turned away. "Whatever."
She left the room. Ikuto thought back to what actually happened.
-Flashback-
Amu went to the bathroom, probably to brush her teeth or something. Ikuto noticed Yoru was hiding behind his head.
"Why are you hiding behind my head?" Ikuto asked, reaching behind his head to pull the chara by the scruff out of his hiding place. Yoru looked at Ikuto defiantly.
"Put me down ~nya!" he said, squirming in Ikuto's grasp. Ikuto looked his chara dead in the eye.
"You're hiding from the blue one, aren't you?" he asked. Yoru turned a bit red.
"No I'm not ~nya!" Yoru wiggled harder. Ikuto smirked.
"You like her, don't you?" It wasn't a question.
"I don't like her ~nya!" his face was Amu red now. Ikuto devised a devious plan.
Cue Miki. Miki entered the room just after Ikuto planned his awesomely awesome matchmaking plan.
Ikuto locked onto the target. Which was Miki. 3… 2… 1… And… BLAST OFF! He sort of threw Yoru across the room, deadlocked onto Miki. Miki turned around to see the purple-haired chibi neko boy flying towards her at a very high speed for a chara. With a loud thump, they crashed into each other. They hurtled to the floor in a speeding ball of chara.
NYAAA! Yoru thought.
WHAT THE HELL! Miki thought.
The end result was Yoru lying dizzy across Miki, who was dizzy as well. Miki, being the calm and cool chara, recovered first, and then realising the position she was in, punched Yoru across the room with enough force to make Ikuto's awesome punch look like a tap.
One kilo of cat chara sped across the room like a bullet, straight through the open bathroom door, and into the mirror. Ikuto realised Amu would be pissed, grabbed the first book he saw and flopped onto his bed, opening to a random page. It turned out the book was, what the hell was he thinking, a dictionary. How could he be so stupid?
Amu stepped out of the bathroom, carrying a dazed Yoru.
-End Flashback-
That had been a close one. Ikuto was actually scared of Amu for a moment. He put his 'book' on the bedside table. One never want to experience the wrath of pissed off Amu. He needed to go somewhere to catch his breath. He picked up Yoru by the scruff. He blew on him to wake him up.
Yoru rubbed his eyes and meowed. Then he felt the after effects of the punch. He clutched his little head in pain, a comical bump forming on it. "Nya! My head hurts ~nya!"
"Stop being a baby. You deserved it." He flicked Yoru's nose.
"Well I wouldn't have gotten punched in the first place if it weren't for you!" He tried to punch Ikuto, but was unsuccessful as Ikuto still grasped his scruff. He then tried to escape. End result? Yoru Escape Plan Status = Fail. He tried again and again with no luck. According to Einstein's theory, Yoru would be insane, since he was trying the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. ((muahahaha I am miss smarty-pants :P))
"Stop struggling before I take your catnip for a month." Ikuto stated casually, apparently unaware of the effect his sentence would have on Yoru.
"NO! Take anything else, just spare the catnip!" Yoru shouted dramatically. Ikuto sweatdropped, Is he that obsessed? he thought.
"Baka." Ikuto muttered. He waited at least ten minutes before Yoru calmed down. "Thank you, now can we please move on?"
He stuffed Yoru in his pocket. He walked out onto the balcony. He chara-changed and jumped away, presumably to clear his head.
~SCTMM~
~Tokyo Tower~
When he reached the base of Tokyo Tower, he used his cat-like climbing skills to scale the large building.
At the top, he was awed by the panoramic view of the city. Only one thing marred the landscape.
I plume of dust had risen from a street in downtown Tokyo. A large silhouette was visible through the dust cloud. Ikuto judged from the shape of the silhouette that it was another of those monster things Amu and he fought. A small figure flew out from the cloud. Ikuto squinted to see who it was and immediately recognised it as the rude, blue bird girl from that night. Not my problem, he thought, She insulted Amu anyway.
Three more figures shot out of the cloud. Ikuto saw it was the wolf girl, the monkey girl, and that antennae girl. Which meant that Pinky was still fighting. Not for long anyway, Ikuto thought, the others got their asses handed to them.
He was just about to turn around when he heard an ear-splitting scream, presumably from Pinky. Ikuto sighed. If she's in that much trouble, guess I have no choice.
He chara-transformed and hopped towards the cloud.
~SCTMM~
~Downtown Tokyo~
Mew Ichigo looked towards where her friends had just been thrown out. She hoped they weren't hurt. She turned back to their attacker.
The monster was a large stag beetle-like monster. It was almost entirely sickly green, with a few dull blue spots here and there. Its horn was deadly sharp. Its tiny, beady, multi-pupil eyes, strongly like those of a fly, radiated evil and hate. This made it even more menacing, since you wouldn't expect a beetle to show emotion.
The beetle charged Ichigo, who just narrowly missed the long horn. It reared around and stampeded again. This time, it managed to leave a large wound on her arm, causing her to shriek in pain. It charged again, catching Ichigo on her leg. She toppled to the ground. Ichigo tried to stand up again but her bad leg made her fall.
The beetle prepared for its final attack, intent of stabbing the pink Mew through the stomach. Ichigo's survival instincts caused her to jump out of the way, ignoring her injured leg. The beetle's horn got lodged in the ground, but it quickly pulled it out. It charged again, but Ichigo again hopped out of the way just in time. The game of cat-and-mouse, or rather, giant-mutant-stag-beetle-and-cat-girl, continued for a while. Ichigo seemed pleased that the monster was tiring out from its attacks. Her victorious mood didn't last long as she again hopped out of the way, only to land wrong, causing more damage to her already badly-injured leg. Her leg, constantly strained from her persistence of dodging while injured, just gave way, causing Ichigo to fall on the ground again, hitting her head.
The beetle ran towards Ichigo again. She tried to dodge the attack only to find her leg had finally given up. In a last minute attempt, she raised her hands in front of her, to brace herself for the attack… only to be pulled out of the way at the last second. She knew it couldn't be any of the Mews, since they were thrown out unconscious, and the person who pulled her out of the way had a lot of strength.
She was too scared to open her eyes. The person was carrying her bridal-style, and judging from the impacts she felt, the person was jumping building to building. Who could jump that far?
She concluded that it couldn't be Kisshu, since he would have flown her out. Maybe the Blue Knight? It was a possibility, but she had been carried by the Blue Knight a lot of times, and it didn't feel like this. The person was leaping with graceful movements, hardly making a sound. Like a cat. Wait a minute…
She peeped open her eyes. Her eyes were blurry from the sun as the sun had been partially blocked out by the dust, but she could make out a mop of blue hair. No, it couldn't be. She opened her eyes fully, only to be greeted with the sight of Lynx, who apparently had his eyes fixed on a set destination ahead. Her eyes widened at the realisation that she was being carried by a complete stranger. Sure they had a brief encounter before, but she only found out is name, nothing else. Heck, Lynx wasn't even his real name. What was his real name? She couldn't remember.
Lynx finally landed on a building and laid her against a pole, so she sitting upright. She looked at her leg. It was in bad shape. The cut was pretty deep, and there was a lot of blood. Dirt had stuck to the almost dry blood, turning it a murky mud colour. She turned to Lynx. He was staring at the beetle with no expression, like he was a robot or something. He turned to Ichigo. His face was not actually expressionless, he was, in fact, bored-looking. Wait, bored? What's wrong, Lynx, a giant, rampaging, mutant stag beetle not exciting enough for you? she thought sourly.
Ichigo couldn't believe it. He looked like he'd rather be having a nap somewhere than preventing a monster from tearing apart the city. Then again, so would she, but it's not like she had a choice or anything.
"You OK?" Lynx asked.
"Y-Yeah I'm fine." She was lying, her leg still hurt a lot.
"Not with that leg, you're not." he replied, obviously not buying her lie. "You are staying here." he said, concerned maybe? "What was your name again?"
"Mew Ichigo. Why?"
"Just wondering."
He was just about to leave when a blue blur tackled him to the ground. It was Joker, wearing a frilly-sleeved dress shirt and dark blue short-shorts. She also had suspenders that attached her blue and white stockings to her shorts. She wore brown boots and light blue beret with a large, dark blue spade barrette pinned to it. Ichigo guessed it was another one of her transformations. Ichigo sweatdropped.
How many forms does she have? She thought.
~SWITCH OFTHIRD POV~ ((Shugo Chara side of third POV))
Amu was fuming.
"You idiot cat! Do you have any idea how worried I was, with you running off and that monster rampaging around?" She shouted, resisting any of Ikuto's attempts to push her off. "The least you could have done was to tell me you were going to run off to play hero! You know you can't purify negative energy!"
"Would you have listened? You were still pissed off at me because of the broken mirror." He tried to push Amu off again.
"AHA! So you admit it was you!" she said dramatically.
"No I didn't. OK, I may have had a part in it, but technically I didn't break the mirror."
"'Technically you didn't break the mirror'?" Amu's eyebrow twitched, "What the hell did you do? Throw Yoru at the mirror?"
"Sort of."
"How can you 'sort of' throw Yoru at the mirror?" Insert another eye twitch. Mew Ichigo was looking at them with a 'WTF' look on her face. "You tell me now or so help me, I am going to feed you to the big beetle as kitty caviar."
"Fine! I threw Yoru at Miki, they crashed into each other, Yoru landed on Miki, Miki punched Yoru, who then flew through the bathroom door and into the mirror. Happy?" Ikuto said quickly. "Now if you would be so kind as to get off me, there is a giant bug to be taken care of."
Ichigo meanwhile was thinking, WTF they can throw people around?
Ah poor Ichigo, totally clueless.
Amu, seemed satisfied with Ikuto's confession, got off of him. Ikuto quickly stood up. They both look at Ichigo.
"So what about her?" Amu asked, looking at Ikuto. Ikuto shrugged.
"Come back after the bug is squashed."
"That sounds like a good plan." she turned back to Ichigo, "We'll be back, just don't go anywhere, OK?"
Ichigo stared at them and gestured to her leg with a 'Do I look like I have a choice?' face.
Amu and Ikuto jumped off the building towards the giant beetle.
~Giant Beetle~
Amu looked at the beetle with boredom.
"What is this thing going to do? Gross us to death?" she said. It was gross, with its beady eyes and sickly-coloured shell. It just overall oozed grossness. "Just so you know, I am not touching that thing."
"Geez, leave all the dirty work to me, why don't you?" Ikuto said sarcastically with a scowl on his face. He wasn't too keen on touching it either. What a baby.
Amu sighed. She really wasn't in the mood for arguing. She summoned her Spade Baton ((lol idk what its called)).
Ikuto was surprised at her choice of weapon. Amu noticed this.
"What?"
"Nothing. I just thought you were going to use that Spade Brush of yours, or whatever its called." Ikuto shrugged.
"Whatever. LET'S KICK SOME ASS!" She pointed her Baton at the monster while Ikuto sweatdropped. Was she always this... hyper? He thought.
"Prism Music!" Hundreds of glittery, multicoloured musical notes shot out of the Baton, hitting the creature sqaure in the face, causing it to fal over, squashing a very unfortunate building. "POW! ALRIGHT BULLSEYE! THATS HOW WE DO IT IN SEIYO!"
Ikuto sweatdropped again. The beetle got up clumsily, readying its next attack. Ikuto raised his claws in anticipation.
The beetle charged forward, obviously pissed off. When it was just about the strike, Ikuto jumped in the air. "Slash Claw!"
The beetle's horn was sliced to ribbons. Well that's one thing done. He thought, crossing off 'Slice off monster's horn' on his mental to-do list. If any of you are wondering this is Ikuto's to-do list:
IKUTO'S TO-DO LIST
Buy fish
Annoy Amu
Scare Amu
Tease Amu
Be perverted to Amu
Buy taiyaki
Slice off monster's horn
Kill monster
Nap
Buy chocolate
Buy milk
Ikuto nodded. Yep he had to remember his shopping.
Anyway, while Ikuto was thinking about his shopping list, Amu on the other hand, was getting ready to 'Open Heart' the monster.
She cupped her hands in front of her and the Humpty Lock started to glow. In a matter of seconds, the Lock shot of hundred of sparkley hearts of purifying goodness. The monster screamed and writhed in pain as its parasite was forced out of it's body, leaving behind a jellyfish thingy and a stag beetle with no horn, courtesy of Ikuto. The jellyfish was eaten by thepink fuzzy thing from before. Amu surveyed her handiwork.
"Well wasn't that fun!" she said sarcastically She turned on her heel and walked in the opposite direction, towards Ichigo. Ikuto followed suit.
~SCTMM~
~Building Ichigo is on~
Ichigo waited. And waited. And waited. Where were they? They just left her there, with an injured leg, and no way to get home. She had watched a small part of the fight, as most of it was covered by the dust cloud. She had seen the musical notes and the stag's horn crumble to ribbons. Then she had seen the stag beetle enveloped in light, and when it died down, the monster was gone. Now all that was left to do was wait for Lynx and Joker.
Just when she was starting to thinking they abandoned her, she saw two figures jump out of nowhere, landing on the building top. It was Lynx and Joker. Lynx was eating a taiyaki.. Thank GOD they didn't lave her behind!
Joker quickly shifted from her Spade form (as Ichigo had dubbed it) into her Clover form.
Joker waved a hand in greeting. "We didn't make you wait long, did we?"
"No. A little late maybe."
"Well we would have gotten here sooner if Lynx didn't have to stop for taiyaki." Joker glared at her partner, who was happily nibbling his taiyaki with a cute nekomimi face. Lynx looked at Joker.
"Admit it, though. You laughed when the stall owner had that WTF look on his face." He smirked. "He was all like 'Woah, why am I serving there creepily-accurate cosplayers?'"
Ichigo and Joker sweatdropped. "Lynx I think that taiyaki's gone to your head."
Ichigo agreed on that one.
"Anyway, if you done being weird, I'll heal Ichigo's leg with Remake Honey and then get can get out of here." She turned to Ichigo, pointing her whisk at Ichigo's leg. Ichigo look worried.
"Are you sure it's safe? I mean that 'Remake Honey' attack of yours, you used it on the monsters the other day. Isn't it an attack?"
Joker laughed once. "Remake Honey is a purifying attack. It can also heal, repair and clean up. Very handy when you don't like cleaning your room." She paused for a second. "Which reminds me..."
She turned to the ruined part of Tokyo and waved her whisk at the mess. "Remake Honey."
The building were repaired but it wasn't perfect, since Joker was saving her power to heal Ichigo, as buildings could be rebuilt if they were destroyed, while humans can't. She turned back to Ichigo and healed her leg.
"OK. That's should about do it." She helped Ichigo to her feet, who was surprised that her leg didn't hurt.
"Thanks."
"Your welcome. Bye." With that, Joker and Lynx hopped away. Ichigo kept looking after them, still wondering what their real names were.
"Ichigo-nee-chan!" Ichigo whipped just in time to be tackled by a blur of yellow. "We're sorry for making you fight the monster by yourself! We were knocked out! I'm so glad that your OK!"
Pudding was still glomping Ichigo. "Pudding, can your please get off me!"
Pudding obliged. Ichigo got up and dusted herself off. The other Mews were right behind Pudding.
"Why are you all the way out here? The monster was over there." Mint pointed with her thumb over her shoulder.
"Lynx and Joker fought it because I was seriously injured." The others just nodded.
"Wait, you said you were injured. Youdon't look injured." Zakuro stated. Ichigo rubbed the back of her head.
"Eh, Joker healed it for me." She said sheepishly. Zakuro frowned.
"How'd she do that?" she crossed her arms.
"She used that attack she used on those monsters he other day. Apparently it can heal too."
"OK..." everyone said.
They headed towards the Cafe.

~Cafe Mew Mew~
Ryou was busy trying to get into those files. No matter what he tried he couldn't get in. The files were so thoroughly protected that he couldn't even get the names of the pair.
He sighed. He was so sure that with ten am he could hack the files, but one small problem, he was hacking the files to find the names. Only Ichigo knew, and he was sure as hell not giving in to her. He tried one more hack. 'ACCESS DENIED'. Facedesk.
Ryou sighed again. He would have to ask Ichigo.
The bell that signified a customer had entered rang. Ryou walked out of the basement to find 5 very dusty girls.
"What happened to you?" He said incredulously. The girls glared at him.
"The result of fighting an enormous stag beetle." Zakuro stated, glaring harder than the rest. As she was a model, she couldn't stand being dirty. Ryou brushed off the glares, looking straight at Ichigo.
"OK Ichigo you win. What were the real names of Joker and Lynx?"
Ichigo beamed. SHE WON! But her grin turned into a frown. What were the names? She could not remember, no matter how hard she tried. "U-Um... I've forgotten..."
The Mews and Ryou all fell over. They were talking about this, THIS MORNING and she'd already forgotten. Ichigo blushed, embarrassed.
"B-But it's not my fault! During the battle I hit my head!" she said, trying to defend herself. The rest facepalmed. Typical Ichigo... they all thought.
