Author's Note: My First Tokyo Mew Mew fanfic. I have no rants, no sarcastic remarks, nothing interesting to say really... O-o;;; So...enjoy... (and the italics are in Ichigo's Point of View)
Revelation
Chapter 1: Darkness Within My Heart
"Ichigo...Ichigo...Ichigo..." A soft female voice called. The voice sounded like a heavenly melody, echoing in the closed mind. "Can you hear me...?" it asked.
Yes...
"Can you see me...?" it asked.
No...
"Do you know who I am...?"
No...
"Is that...so...?"
Ichigo Momomiya fluttered her magenta eyes open, only to see she was in pure darkness. Floating in nothing. The only thing she wore was a short light pearl colored dress. "Where am I?" Ichigo asked, continuing to float in darkness.
"You are...within yourself...this is...your world..." the voice replied in her heavenly tone.
My...world...?
"ICHIGO!" a loud but faint voice was heard.
"Yes..." said the voice.
"ICHIGO!" the loud voice was heard again, this time, less faint.
Why...?
"It is...your sanctuary..." replied the soft voice.
"ICHIGO WAKE UP!" the loud, angry voice conquered the darkness. Ichigo Momomiya shook her head rapidly and found herself in the Mew Mew Café holding a mop. Turning her head slowly she saw a very furious looking Mint Aizawa. Her hand was on her hip and her eye twitched. "Why were you SLACKING?"
Ichigo stuttered, trying to find an excuse that would get her out of this horrible predicament. "Humph." Mint turned her head away in disgust. "W-Well at least I do some work around here!" Ichigo finally let out, not even thinking if it was the right thing to say.
Mint just shrugged and turned her back towards her companion. "Yes, but at least I have enough manners not to drool a puddle in public." and with that combat she walked off back to her tea.
Drool a puddle...?
Ichigo glanced down at the floor and saw a small puddle of liquid. Hesitating, she wiped her mouth, removing the drool all over her face. Ichigo blushed ferociously in embarrassment. Just then, someone grabbed her from behind, holding her close. "EH!" the cat-girl flinched. "You idiot..." a low voice whispered in her ear. Ichigo glanced up and saw her boss Ryou Shirogane frowning down at her. "Your ears...they're sticking out."
After a few moments Ryou let go of the pink iriomote and she wished her ears away. The blonde smirked and put his hand on his worker's hand. "You better get to work. You're the only one who really does anything in this joint." chuckling he walked away. Ichigo stomped her foot and growled in frustration before mopping up her drool.
Hours Later
Ichigo slumped down in a chair. It was finally closing time and the girl was exhausted. She sunk deeper in her seat. "Over worked and under paid...Nyyaa!" Ichigo whined. Then, footsteps were heard coming towards her. Ichigo turned around to see her green friend smiling sweetly behind her. "Good work today Ichigo." said Lettuce Midorikawa. "Yeah...you too." responded the cat girl. She stood up and dusted her puffy pink uniform off. "Yeeeaaaahhh!" perked a small Chinese monkey girl, Pudding Fong. She turned towards Lettuce. "You didn't break as much plates as usual! Tehe!" She turned back to her leader. "And I did well too! Right Ichigo!" She kept her cheery smile. Ichigo just giggled innocently. "Yeah, you did great today." She lied; Pudding is as helpful as a clown trying to rescue a princess. But, hey, she does attract costumers with her tricks.
As she was finishing dusting off, the lone wolf, Zakuro Fujiwara peeks into the room. "Sorry to interrupt..." she started in her deep voice. "But Kirema Anima are on the loose..." Ichigo, Pudding, and Lettuce just stood in their spots, staring at Zakuro for a few moments before she left. Ichigo stretches. "Well, off to MORE work I suppose." The Finless Porpoise giggles "Don't sound so negative Ichigo." The Iriomote cat just shrugged and the three mewmews left the café.
"Hmm... I wonder why my little kitty cat hasn't arrived yet..." questioned the thirteen year old alien, Kisshu. He sat on a clock tower, looking annoyed while trying to find his play toy, not even caring that the Kirema Anima were making a bigger ruckus than it should.
"Over here!" shouted a perky kitty. Kisshu smirked, "There she is..." he mumbled before turning towards her. Standing up, keeping perfect balance of the tower he smiled evilly. "A bit late my precious!" Mew Ichigo growls. "Now, now," said the alien. "That's not nice, especially after all the trouble I went through to set up this wonderful welcome!"
Mew Mint was getting ticked. "This is not a welcome!" she shouted. And she was right. Three infected animals that were very lethal wasn't much of a friendly welcome. Mew Zakuro examined the infected animals. "A dolphin... a tiger...and a snake..." Mew Lettuce held herself back. "Oh my...can we do three at once?" Mew Ichigo clenched her fist. "We have no choice..." she mumbled. The five mewmews charged the Kirema Animas with all they got.
"RIBBON MINT ECHO!"
"RIBBON LETTUCE FLASH!"
"RIBBON PUDDING INFERNO!"
"RIBBON ZAKURO PURE!"
"RIBBON STRAWBERRY CHECK!"
With all of their power only, the dolphin was set free. Kisshu chuckled. "Is that all? Humph, my turn..." He snapped his fingers, ordering the tiger and snake to attack. The tiger pounced, lifting its huge paw and swipes Mew Mint and Mew Lettuce down. The ferocious mammal landed on the two mews, making them lose their breath. Next, the snake stuck out towards Mew Pudding and Mew Zakuro. The two easily dodged it but was counterattacked by the cobra, when it grabbed the two by the tail, constricting them. It squeezed hard until the two were unconscious, and then threw them down, smashing the ground and even bouncing off it. Ichigo stood in astonishment, as her comrades were taken down so quickly.
Kisshu jumped off the clock tower and landed right in front of his pink lovely. Lifting her chin up with his finger he murmured in a deep and desirable voice. "What will you do now my sweet?" Mew Ichigo's magenta eyes started glowing in anger; she slapped Kisshu across the face. Kisshu almost went flying, but instead just lost his balance.
Jumping back up to the clock tower he smirked evilly at Ichigo. "Feisty kitty cat..." He snapped his fingers again, sending the snake and tiger after Mew Ichigo. She was ready to dodge them both, being the athletic cat she is. But strangely, she couldn't move. She was frozen stiff.
What! Why can't I move!
She struggled from her restraint but failed miserably. "U-Uggghhh..." moaned a mewmew. Mew Mint's cerulean eyes flutter open and she glanced up at Mew Ichigo. The bird gasped. "ICHIGO!" she screamed. The pink Iriomote turned to Mew Mint who looked petrified. But she couldn't keep her attention at Mint when two humungous infected Kirema Animas were about to annihilate her.
"Don't be afraid..." echoed a familiar voice inside the pink mewmew's head.
"Come to the place...the place where there is great calamity...come with me...and leave this trenched world behind..." said the feminine voice again.
"Leave this world..." Ichigo's eyes started going blank. "behind..." her legs started going wobbly.
"No...more..." those were the last words Ichigo spoke, before dropping unconscious. As Mint's comrade and friend fell in defeat, she screamed.
"ICHIGO!"
Author's Note: There's chapter one...hope you liked it...it's nothing big or special...no romance and stuff. No Ichigo/Masaya stuff (I REALLY dislike that couple...I'm more of a Kisshu/Ichigo or Ryou/Ichigo kind of gal.) And this fic is gonna be pretty short. >:D C'ya in chapter two!
