Sapphire's alarm had went off fairly early in the morning. She set it for early since she had to get to school for the council meeting thing. Sapphire didn't really want to join, but she decided to see what it was like and if it was going to be the one club for her. Sapphire really didn't have a chance to tell her brother since he acted like a jerk to her and that her being mad wasn't that big a deal. Sapphire really hoped that the vice-president position was already filled. She felt like she really wouldn't make a good one. If the secretary position wasn't filled yet that would make her really happy. She felt she would be a good secretary instead of a vice-president.
Grudgingly Sapphire got out of her comfy bed; grabbed her uniform and went into the bathroom to get ready for the day ahead.
"Where are you going off to so early, Sapphire?" Akoya asked once he was up and getting ready himself.
Sapphire rolled her eyes. "It's none of your business what I'm up to this early. I'm still mad at you." She grabbed her bag from beside her bed and went down the stairs.
Akoya followed her. "Why are you mad? Please tell me. It's true what I said yesterday. That I was worried about you. For some time I thought someone had kidnapped you for ransom or for something worse that I don't even want to think about."
Sapphire stopped in her tracks. She was about to leave when he stopped her. "Why didn't you pick up your phone? You knew I was coming and you couldn't turn it on. It hurts knowing that you didn't even try to get in touch. You knew that I've hardly ever gone there. I'm not that ready to forgive yet." Sapphire turned the knob and left.
Akoya couldn't get a word out before the door shut behind his little sister. "What did I do to make her so mad?" Akoya grabbed his bag and headed towards school.
The student council meeting was a bore. She did get the secretary position which made her really happy. She wondered how they ever got anything done. The vice-president was nice, but seeing Inori act as president was a little worrisome. Sapphire pondered how Inori even became president. The council was behind in their work, and before Sapphire got far away the vice-president said that the other members had switched schools and lied about going onto higher education.
Akoya didn't really pay attention during the council meeting. He was still worried about Sapphire. She never acted like this before. Ever since they were little Sapphire had stuck close to him. She never let go. What did I do to her? We've always been so close.
Arima and Kinshiro looked at him. Neither one spoke up and asked what was bothering him.
During lunch Akoya left and went to his sister's school. He knew that he wasn't supposed to leave school grounds, but what happened between him and his sister took precedence over any other matter that might arise in the council room.
Akoya walked through the gates of his sister's school. He figured that his sister may on the rooftop of the school and so he headed there.
Sapphire sighed as she sat on the rooftop of her school and picked through her lunch. She cringed when she came across a note. Sapphire recognized her brother's somewhat girlish handwriting. She wondered when he did this and if he felt bad about what happened between them.
Sapphire rubbed her eyes. She's been acting like a feline with the feeling of needing naps since she saw the cafe the day before. She looked up at the cloudless sky and smiled.
"Sapphire," a voice said.
She turned her head and faced the one person she didn't want to see. "What do you want? Get out of here. I really don't want to see you." She put her lunch down and got ready to leave.
Before she could go anywhere, her brother wrapped his arms around her. "What did I do to make you mad? I won't leave until I know. What's going on between us has been bugging me ever since you stormed out yesterday." Akoya turned her around to face him. "Why won't you look at me? I'm sorry. I'm not sure what I did, but I'm sorry."
Sapphire's eyes watered. She pushed away a little. "You mean that, big brother?"
Akoya nodded with a smile. "I miss seeing my little sister's smile. Will you come by Binan after school today?"
"I will, big brother. Won't you get in trouble if you stay?"
Akoya nodded. "Most likely."
"You know it's going to rain later on today." Sapphire covered her mouth. Where did that come from? What exactly happened with that earthquake yesterday?
Her brother rolled his eyes. "I'll see you later, Sapphire." He waved good-bye.
Sapphire walked towards Binan after the student council meeting was over. Technically they were told to leave early by the headmaster. Sapphire wasn't sure why the headmaster told them to go ahead and leave for the day. He told them that they would find out at tomorrow's morning meeting. She let it go and continued her walk towards Binan. It hadn't started raining yet which was good.
Sapphire smiled when she reached the top of the steps that led to her brother's school. She hurried a little more to the council room. She walked down one of the halls of Binan looking for the council room. Sapphire wasn't as lost as she was trying to find it before, but Binan was still confusing for her.
When Sapphire was almost at the council room she saw her brother standing outside waiting for her. "Big brother." Sapphire ran towards and hugged him.
"I'm glad you made it." Akoya hugged her back. He brought her inside once the hug was broken.
"My brother didn't get into too much trouble for leaving school grounds, did he?" She asked Arima-senpai.
"It wasn't that bad," her brother butted in.
Sapphire rolled her eyes s she went to one of the couches and sat down. Akoya sat down next to her.
"How is school going for you, Sapphire?" Arima-senpai asked curiously.
"It was good. I would've been here sooner if I wasn't at a council meeting. Well, I was kind of forced to join in a way."
Akoya brought her into a big hug. "I'm so happy for you, little sister."
Kusatsu-senpai looked up from his paperwork towards the commotion in front of him.
"What position did you get?" Arima-senpai asked. His interest piqued.
"Not sure yet," Sapphire answered while trying to get away from her brother's grasp. "The headmaster came in and asked everyone to leave for the day and really didn't give an explanation as to why she wanted us to leave. I'll probably find out tomorrow morning." She finally got out of the grasp that was her brother.
"Akoya, Arima," Kusatsu-senpai spoke. "We have business to attend to."
They nodded.
"Stay here until we're back. Enjoy some tea while you wait." Akoya pecked his sister's head before he headed out with the other council members.
Sapphire was sitting in the council room waiting for her brother and his friends to come back from whatever they were doing. She didn't get why all three of them had to go, but she really wasn't going to question it.
There was a loud crash from outside of the window of the room, and the next thing Sapphire knew was that some strange guy had saved her from something and had brought her onto the roof. There was a creature that Sapphire saw coming towards them and it sort of made sense as to why he saved her.
"Let me go," Sapphire snapped. "My family won't stand for this."
"I thought that you'd be grateful since that chimera anima was coming after you," he said.
Once he let her go- and Sapphire landing on her butt- Sapphire noticed that he had blond hair and blue eyes. Very cute, she added mentally. "Who exactly are you?" Sapphire asked.
"It doesn't matter right now. It's your job to fight."
Fight? That thing?
The stranger pulled Sapphire up and gave her a pendant with a certain symbol on it. "You're a mew mew." He pushed her off the roof.
A mew mew? Sapphire thought before she transformed. She donned a light, short pink dress with a cat tail with a ribbon tied around and cats ears. "What the hell?" Sapphire landed in front of the creature.
The chimera anima lunged toward her, but she dodged with ease and skill of a cat.
"How dare you attack theses defenseless students? I'll make you pay for this," Sapphire said. "For the future of this world I'll be at your service~Nya."
Sapphire held out her hand, "Strawberry Bell."
The Battle Lovers, Sapphire never noticed them when she was saved and transformed, watched in amazement as the pink cat girl transformed the creature back into its rat form. They didn't notice the flying, glowing orb of a jellyfish type of thing fly out of it.
"That was awesome," the youngest Battle lover said hugging Sapphire. "I'm Battle Lover Scarlet."
"Nice to meet you," she said. "I'm Mew Sapphire. Can you please let me go?"
Battle Lover Scarlet let her go and smiled. The other Battle Lovers walked over to her.
"Do I know you from somewhere?" One of the other Battle Lovers asked curiously.
"You must be confusing me for someone else," Sapphire said backing away. She smiled. "I wish I could stay longer, but I have to go. Bye-bye." With that Sapphire left them standing there in awe.
