I collapsed at one of cafe mew mew's tables, still in my jeans and a t-shirt from work. "I got fired!" I shouted, ranting to mint. "How could they do this to me?! I'm the only one who does any REAL work around there!"

mint smiled sympathetically and put a hand on my back. I smiled up at her. She always was able to calm me down. Then a strawberry-haired girl came running in. "MINT! Are you planning on WORKING today?!?" she was pissed. That much was clear. mint glared at her, but I held her back, walking to the front of her. I shot an a-class evil-death stare that gave a new meaning to 'if looks could kill.'

"Ichigo, she was just trying to calm me down, k? I JUST GOT FIRED AND ALL YOU CAN DO TO THE PERSON WHO'S TRYING TO HELP ME IS YELL AT HER?!?!" Ichigo blew out of steam and cowered in my wrath. I sat back down and smiled sweetly at her, making her think she might have imagined the whole thing. I thought for second.

"Yo, mint." I said, catching her attention. "Yeah?" She said, turning.

"Mew mint, mint, blue hair, blue hair, mew zakuro, zakuro, purple hair, purple hair. Mint's eyes were wide.

"Y-you know?" she asked. I nodded.

"It was kinda obvious." I said pointedly. Ichigo recovered from shock. "you're the leader." I said. She nodded.

"Do you have any strange marks that have appeared lately?" she offered. I pulled your hair around to the front to reveal a blue mark that looked like a fox flying on air. She nodded. "Ryou! Keiichero!" she shouted. The two bosses appeared at the top of the stairs.

"What?" Ryou asked. I flipped around and showed him my mark. He studied it for a moment, then said, "She must be the one that's infused with the aria fox." everyone was confused.

Ryou explained, "The aria fox is a fox that can survive the extremely low temperatures and snowstorms of the cyniclon's planet." I stared at him.

"Heh, once again, my element ties in with everything." I grinned. "So, I'm a mew mew, right?" they nodded. "Well, how the hell do I transform! I'm new at this! How the hell am I supposed to know everything?" Keiichero handed me a pendant. It turned blue and black the moment it touched my hand. "Lemme guess, that's new, right?" they nodded.

"Now, shout the first words that come into your head." Ichigo explained.

"MEW MEW CHERRY, AIR STYLE METAMORIFO-SIS!!" I shouted. My hair turned blue, and my eyes were a rusty amber color. I had blue fox ears and a blue fox tail tipped at the end in the traditional white. I had on a green-and-black short top that stopped where my chest ended, and a blue pair of shorts. My ears had purple inside them instead of pink, and you had on a white fingerless glove on one hand and white fishnets on the other. "Mew mew cherry!" I shouted at the end, landing in a crouch. I stood erect immediately and smiled, showing a pair of sharp teeth that looked capable of cutting through steel.

The others transformed and I met the remainder that I didn't know yet. They were all really nice. I really didn't care much about saving the world or treats, so I agreed to think about things. I left the cafe humming 'miracle' by cascada. I walked into my house, and felt something else there. I opened the door to my bedroom, and sure enough, a green-haired boy with elf ears and bright amber eyes was sitting on my bed, looking out my window. "Why me?" I managed to squeak out, and banged my head against the wall repeatedly until the boy snapped out of his trance and pulled me away from any walls. 'Shit, I'm being held by a guy!' I groaned internally and pulled to get away from him.

He held me tighter.

I pulled harder.

He held tighter.

This went on for sometime, until I was gasping for breath and managed to squeak out, "need....oxygen...." he loosened and turned me so that I was facing him."Who, and what, the FUCK are you, and what the FUCK are you doing in my house?" he smirked.

"Ooh, the new mew has a temper."

"Oh. Wait." It clicked in my head. He must be the perverse alien that Ichigo had warned me about. I managed to gain a little wiggle room and stared him straight in the eye. "Your breath doesn't smell THAT bad." I said, keeping a solemn face while entirely trying to make a joke. He looked at me weird. I sighed. "Ichigo told me your breath stank." I clarified.

He burst out laughing on the floor, and I had cracked up and was now sitting on my bed, watching him roll with laughter.

"You're funny, new mew." I groaned.

"Don't call me that! My name's sakura, and if you want to take any nicknames other than neko further, I'll start calling you elf-ears." he grimaced.

"touché." he said. I smiled in triumph. "Kisshu." he said, putting his hand out for me to shake. I took it and he smiled, sending a slight flutter in my stomach through my spine and up to my head. "But you already knew that." I dropped my hand to my side and gave him a look.

"So, Kisshu, what exactly are you doing in my house?"
