"I think we should decide now." Akasaka-san spoke gently, but firmly. "But I also think we should get the others." He paused and laughed. "Maybe Ichigo would like to file a restraining order."
Kokoro laughed nervously. She wasn't entirely sure of what was going on, and neither was Lettuce. Zakuro strode from the doorway gracefully and stood between the aliens and the Mews.
"Since most of us aren't here, I think I'll say what I think." She began smoothly. "There is strength in numbers, but can we trust you? You saved us before, but would you back us up again? Those are the concerns that are bothering us, and why you don't exactly have a warm welcome awaiting you."
"I can assure you that I have no intent of hurting the Mews. Our fighting is past because our planet is saved… Saved from the terrible weather and from Deep Blue." He looked as if he was reminiscing. "Many people were lost, but many more were saved. And I decided to keep my eye on this planet, just in case any danger came up." His gaze swept over Lettuce, his ears twitching, and then back to Zakuro. "So, I am here to offer my services, since there are strength in numbers. I would also like to say that I know more about these new enemies, since they do relate back to us." He descended until his feet touched the ground, then he bowed.
Zakuro looked to the two floating in the air. "What about you? Taruto, Kisshu." She narrowed her eyes at them.
"Eh, we're with him." Kisshu putting his hands behind his head. Taruto descended until he stood next to Pai.
"We'll do our best to blend in, honest!" He said enthusiastically. "We'll do anything we need to."
"Even cut your hair?" Kokoro said, teasing. "And what about your ears?" She thought out loud. "Dead give away to anyone really."
"We can fix that." Pai said. As he spoke his ears morphed to look like a normal human's. Kokoro sighed, her plan had failed. "And I notice you speak a different language…" He continued.
"Uh- I, Watashi wa…." She stammered, and hung her head, then straightened up. She ran her fingers through her hair and laughed nervously. "You caught me."
"Fascinating…" He murmured. "I need to gather- er, never mind. I suppose I don't need to gather data anymore." He spoke hurriedly. "I suppose we'll leave you to discuss us…" He paused. "It must take awhile to determine if we are able to join you."
Lettuce stared up at him and the others simply watched them leave. Kokoro headed back to her house, wanting Lettuce to go with her. Lettuce conceded and walked Kokoro home, then acted like she was walking towards her house. No one was there to know that she walked to her garden, except the one person she needed to talk to.
