Ryou broke out of his thoughts because he had heard someone enter the café. "Sorry, but we're currently under…oh, Akasaka, it's you." Ryou said. The tall brown haired young man looked at Ryou with an understanding smile. "You're here? Why, Shirogane?" Keichiro asked, walking closer until he was right in front of Ryou. "Ah, no reason. Just seeing how the café is doing." Ryou replied. "I see." Keichiro said, a smile on his face. "You know that Momomiya-san left to England today, right?" Keichiro said, his smile replaced with a serious look. "Yeah. I know." Ryou said in a carefree voice. "It's good to be rid of her, and the others as well. Now we can hire some professionals, eh Akasaka?" Ryou said, trying to keep his voice neutral. "Not exactly. By the way, Shirogane, what happened to your hand?" Keichiro asked warily. Ryou glanced down at his hand, still red and stinging. "Eh? This? Nothing." Ryou then quickly switched the topic. "What do you mean by 'not exactly'?" Ryou asked, leaning against the wall, his hands in his pockets. "Well, I have detected some strange activity in Tokyo." Keichiro replied. Ryou groaned inwardly. "Don't tell me…" Ryou started. "Yes. It would be best to gather up the Tokyo Mew Mew crew again." Keichiro said. "Why should we? Maybe the computer has a virus. Besides, the girls have their own life now. It's not likely they'd want to be mew mews again." Ryou said, a bit too quickly. Keichiro replaced the serious look on his face with a smile. "Yes, I know they're enjoying their lives right now, but I'm sure they wouldn't mind facing this one last enemy." Keichiro said. Ryou snorted. "Ah, fine. Whatever. I don't care one way or the other. But, Ichigo just left! We can't make her turn around and come back right away, can we, Akasaka?" Ryou inquired. Keichiro continued to smile. "I know. We'll probably be fine with the rest of the mews alone. This new enemy doesn't seem too powerful." Ryou shrugged. "Alright. And Akasaka, you haven't said this but, you want me to find the girls, right?" Ryou asked, running a hand through his hair and sighing. "Well, yes. I would help but.." Keichiro started. "It's okay. Shouldn't be too hard to find a rich girl, a model, a street performer, and a high school girl." Ryou said, walking to the front entrance of the café. "Thank you, Shirogane." Keichiro said, doing a little bow. "I'll stay here and watch over the café as it's under reconstruction!" Keichiro explained. With a small nod and a wave, Ryou left Café Mew Mew, beginning his search for the other girls……
