A/N: Aw, I'm a sucker for my non-reviewing fans…here's another chapter
RECAP: "Come on" Pudding said, grabbing her arm, "let's go work!"
Thus begins the hell formerly called my life

Cherry stood outside the café after two longs hours of work. Without Ichigo there, everyone had to pitch in: even Mint.
"What the hell am I doing here?" Cherry mumbled to what she thought was only the wind.
"You're here to help us" she jumped as a voice sounded from behind her. Ryou was standing by the arch that was the entrance to the café.
"What are you doing here?" she snapped, turning back around so he wouldn't see the blush creeping onto her face.
What is HE doing here? Shouldn't he have gone home to his laboratory by now?
"Miss Cherry, is that the way you speak to your boss?"
"You're no boss, Mr. Shirogane, you're just a…a…." she stormed of into the growing darkness rebelliously. Ryou chuckled to himself as he headed back to the café.
"Ah, she's the perfect fit. You're so good, Ryou: this time you've outdone yourself."

Cherry pulled her thin jacket over her thin frame.
Perhaps I should have waited for grandma…
Oh yeah, and been alone with that creepy guy? Um, no way, girlie
Did you just call me girlie?
Yup
You're going down
Ha ha, LOSER
GAK, WHY AM I EVEN FIGHTING WITH YOU: YOU'RE JUST MY OTHER CONSCIENCE!
Cherry blocked out her quarreling conscience once more, and then proceeded through the park.
Now, I do have to admit, taking the dark, unsafe way instead of the clear, populated way was stupid on her part, but as her mind had been arguing at the time, I don't believe the thought occurred to her. Well, as she walked through the dreary, gloomy park area. Her arguing mind was funally beginning to bug her right about then…
JUST SHUT UP!
Wow…
Okay, miss bossy-pants…
Pssssst, hey, do you think she'll notice if we whisper?
I don't know, let's-
SHUT UP, YOU TWO, I'M TRYING TO PAY ATTENTION TO ALL THE CREEPY STALKERS HANGING OUT IN THIS PARK!
Oh…
You go right on ahead…Ma'am…
Satisfied that she could now keep a watchful eye on the path, Cherry headed towards home with a worried smile on her lips…
Well, maybe this wont be so bad after all…….

Kishu stood, arms crossed, amber eyes trcking the movements of the young girl in the park. So this was the new mew mew…how entertaining…
"Aw, can't we just attack her already: I'm bored" Tauto said, crossing his legs in midair. Kishu smirked
"Not too much longer now, fellas, just as soon as we give our report…let's go!"
And they sank through the ground.

"Cheryl, where were you: I've been worried sick!"
Cherry ignored her grandmother as she pushed her away moodily, heading upstairs. Her grandmother huffed, stalking her upstairs. Cherry swung around, fuming.
"What, Grams?"
"Oh, nothing" her grandmother said in an innocent voice quite befitting a three year old kid. Cherry snorted and ran upstairs, quickly leaving her grandmother in her dust. Entering her room(and making sure there were no stalkers hiding in it), she locked the door and flopped onto her large, four poster bed. She pulled up her bag and pulled out the letter Ryou had snuck to her. She began reading it:
"Dear Cherry,
Here's your assignment in a nutshell: we need you to take this little mouse robot and seek out Ichigo. R2005, as this mouse's name is, can sense aliens, no matter where they are. You must do this as quickly as possible: Ichigo's life may be in your hands.
Sincerely,
Ryou Shirogane"
Cherry groaned and threw the letter onto her desk, pulling out the furry little black animal that he'd stuck in her bag. It didn't look like a robot, but she could never be sure…
"Squee, squee, mew mew approaching, mew mew approaching!"
Cherry nearly dropped the little animal in surprise as it squeaked out its message. After getting over the surprise, she rolled her eyes
"Of course a mew mew's approaching, I AM A MEW MEW!!!!!!"
Re-shoving the animal into her pack, she rolled over and fell into a dreamless slumber…

A/N: Oh no, this one's even shorter than the other ones! Gwa, I'm sorry!
