Chapter 1

It was quarter to midnight and a bright light illuminated the second floor of the pink cafe .Keiichiro was driving home from a patisserie convention in Hokkaido and was just about to drive pass the cafe when he noticed the bright light.

"What could he be up to at this hour?" he thought.

He then decided to see for himself. He crept into the cafe, up the stairs and then gently knocked before he entered the room. As he entered ,he notice a certain blonde was by his computer engrossed in whatever he was looking at on the monitor.

"Ryou?" he gently whispered. "Are you okay?"

Ryou turned his head to face Keiichiro.

"Oh Keichiiro, I didn't hear you come in. Is there anything wrong?"

"Beside the fact that you are up this late doing on God knows what." Keichiro chuckled.

"What are you working on?

"Something I should have checked weeks ago and is going to get much worse if I can't figure out a way to stop it." Ryou said in a grave expression.

"Ryou tell me what's going on please?" Keiichiro asked concerned.

"I can't tell you the full story now but I'll give you a summary. Basically I screwed up. I discovered there is a side effect of infusing the D.N.A of the Red Data animals into the girls. There is something in them that shouldn't be and it will greatly affect them if we don't figure out what it is."

"Oh,no " Keichiiro gasped.

"I've been going though all the research we made throughout the project, but nothing is adding up. I'm starting to doubt my ability and if was really meant to carry on this project

"Ryou, of course you have the ability. I believe you will figure out the answer. You're just caught in a rut. Maybe a goodnight's sleep is what you need. You're not thinking straight because you're tired."

"Maybe you right Keiichiro" As Ryou started to rub his eyes he gave a yawn.

"I'll see you in the morning."

"Goodnight Ryou."

With that Keichiro turned off the light and crept out of the caf to venture on home. As he placed his car-key into ignition he thought to himself about what the side effects could possibly be and how it would affect the girls. He hoped that Ryou would figure it out soon so he wouldn't have to tell the girls and have them worry.

"Ryou it's all up to you now." He muttered.

With that he started the car and drove off.
