Cherri sat by Cream's side back at the cafe. It had been three hours since the battle. Right after the battle they had come back to the cafe and had a meeting about what had happened. All the others were freaking out over the fact that Deep Blue was alive. From what Cherri could discover Deep Blue was the leader of the aliens, and he had also been Masaya the last time around. After they had defeated the aliens Deep Blue had been destroyed from what they could tell.. and Masaya showed no signs of being an alien anymore. But everyone was a little worried by the fact that Cream seemed to be in the same boat now as well.
Cherri looked down at her friend, she hadn't moved since she had passed out. "Cherri." Ryou walked in. She looked up and wiped her eyes.
"Will she be okay?" Cherri rested her head against his chest. "Or will Deep Blue win? Will he allow her alien side to take over?!"
"We are not going to let that happen." Ryou rested a hand on her head. "Keiichiro and I will protect her… We are working on a way to get rid of her alien side… The faster we do that the higher a chance we can do it… We've been working on it since we discovered her situation."
"Have you found anything?!" Cherri looked at him desperately. "Ryou?!" She demanded when he didn't say anything.
"What we have found…" He sighed. "The more time goes on the more the two sides seem to be fusing."
"So Cream is becoming an alien?!"
"No." Ryou looked over at Cream. "It's more like they are merging into each other… We're not sure what that is going to mean… Except that she might begin to take on traits of the alien side… and the alien side might begin to take on her traits." He sighed. "Keiichiro and I are working to stop that from happening."
"Cream…" Cherri rushed over to her friend's side as the girl groaned weakly. "Hey! It's okay! You're at the cafe! It's okay!"
Cream looked at her. "Ch-Cherri…" She looked so tried. "C-Could y-you… t-turn u-up the h-heat…." She closed her eyes and weakly pulled the covered up tighter. Cherri looked at Ryou. The temperature in the room was actually pretty warm but Cream looked like she was shivering. Ryou walked over and brought over a thermostat and took her temperature. "R-Ryou?"
"Just get some rest." He put a hand on her forehead. "We'll take care of you, okay."
Cream closed her eyes and a moment later seemed to be breathing normally again, but she was still clutching at the blanket. "Ryou?!" Cherri asked as he looked at the thermostat and frowned. "What is it?"
He handed her the thermostat. According to it her temperature was at 85degrees. "It's like her body is rejecting all the heat… She's slowly getting colder." He frowned. "It's like her body can't accept the heat." He frowned.
"What?!" They looked behind to see Ichigo and the other mews standing there. "What do you mean?!" Ichigo asked.
"It's like a disease… Probably an alien one." Ryou sighed. "Her body must have caught it from her other half."
"You can fix her right?!" Pudding asked. "There is some kind of medicine you can make right?!"
Ryou didn't look at Cherri and she frowned. "RYOU!"
"I don't know… But we'll do our best." He looked at her finally. "I promise... " He headed out, hopefully in search of Keiichiro to work on a cure. Cherri sat back down next to Cream and frowned. "Hang on Cream we'll figure something out…"
Pai sat on a bench in his human disguise. He didn't know why he was still doing this. After Cream… no he didn't want to think about her. Her and Taiyaki… He was still trying to comprehend that whole situation. He looked down at the humans' history book in his lap. This one was about a time known as World War II. He sighed, human history was filled with fighting and violence.
"Do you think Cream is going to be alright?" Pai froze as he heard a voice. He glanced up from his book and froze seeing a few girls walking by. He recognized them as some of the mew girls; the green one, the pink one, and the blue one. The three girls were walking and talking without even paying attention to their surroundings.
"Ryou said that her body seems to be rejecting all heat so I doubt she will be alright if it doesn't get fixed." The blue was said. Pai had started silently following them. At Cream's name he had found himself unconsciously following.
"Do you think we can catch the alien disease?" The green one fretted. "Maybe we should all avoid her till we are sure."
"I doubt we can catch it." The pink one, Pai was sure she was the leader, sighed. "The only reason why she caught it is because she has become part alien."
"But what kind of disease rejects heat?"
One that kills. Pai thought to himself as he stopped following them. He knew exactly which disease they were talking about. It was a disease that was very rare back home, but that was only because as infants they were all vaccinated and they all were able to avoid it. But Cream… if she had it… A cold dread chilled Pai's blood. She would die without the right treatment. Without him Cream would die.
