Chapter 20-Training for Battle

After Ryou and Ichigo stopped yelling at Mirai, they took them both downstairs. They were going to train for battle. What confused them the most was that the other mews were there as well. The others saw their confused faces. They turn to Ryou.

"Ryou, did you tell them the plan?" asks Zakuro.

"No, not yet," says Ryou. He turns to Mirai and Bret. "Your training is going against the mews. There is no power or weapons. You will just use your fighting skills."

"Is this just like our fight, but this time the others are helping you?" asks Mirai.

"Yes it is. Ok then. Zakuro, Lettuce, and I will go against Bret, and Ichigo, Mint, and Pudding will go against Mirai. I have my reasons for not going against you, Mirai."

"Fine then." They began to fight each other.

It took them a while until they were finished. They trained for at least two or three hours. Bret beat Lettuce and Zakuro, but lost against Ryou because he was too tired. Mirai beat Mint and Pudding, but struggled against Ichigo. She won her matches.

They were all exhausted, but they somehow walked up the stairs to the kitchen. Bret and Mirai still had homework from school, but since they worked hard, Ryou and Keiichiro did their work for them.

Before they went to bed, Ryou told them to stay. He had a strong feeling about tomorrow. He already told the others about it, so all that was left was Bret and Mirai.

"Listen, I have a strong feeling that they are going to attack tomorrow, but to be sure, I'm still sending you both to school. If we call you during school, that means that I was right, and you must leave school to help your comrades. Understand?" says Ryou.

"Yes Ryou," they say together.

"Good. Now get some sleep. Don't forget Kit again Mirai."

They both head upstairs to bed with worry on their faces. What if they didn't make it? What would happen if they lost the fight between Deep blue? All they could do was wait for it to happen.
