Chapter 2: Antidote!

The untransformed Mew Mews, along with Ryou and Keiichiro crowded around the shivering Masaya.

"He's been poisoned," commented Ryou after flipping through the result papers of tests, he had run through on Masaya.

"I can see that! I'm not blind! I just want to know how to save him!" Ichigo shouted. Everyone stared at Ichigo, even Zakuro, and she looked round them nervously. "I'm worried," she whispered, tears stinging her eyes.

Ryou sighed and shook his head. He had long given up on Ichigo, it seemed impossible to be able to get her, and especially with Masaya her love there for her, she didn't need anybody else. It had been too long, and he wasn't a kid, the games always had to end sometime..

'It seems that Kish is a stubborn alien,' Thought Ryou. 'Not wanting to give up, and even going so far as to eliminate competition to get what he wants! But would that really make Ichigo happy? I wander how advanced these aliens are that Kish couldn't think that Ichigo would hate him forever if he killed her love!'

Though sometimes he wandered how he could ever love such a whiny, rude, slow, bubblehead like her. Ryou walked up to the computer and started clacking away. "Hey aren't you going to help us?" shouted Ichigo angrily.

"What does it look like I'm doing?" retorted Ryou without looking back. 'How rude can she get?' "Do you want the antidote or not?" Ichigo immediately shut up, hoping he wouldn't decide to change his mind and give the wrong info or something. Though there was no reason for him to do so..

"Right, that poison was from a snake, but since it's been turned into a Kirema Anima, the poison has a different side to it then normal snake bites... Masaya needs a special antidote, and only that antidote can heal him, or else he'll die. And the antidote he needs is unfortunately quite rare. It's so rare, that my database says only one dose of this exists, and is quite powerful. But don't worry, this one dose will be able to heal Masaya. So your only problem now is finding that it."

"How long do we have before he departs? Where can we fond this dose? What is this antidote called?" asked Ichigo in a worry.

"I'm not sure, it could be any day, I don't have any info on where it is, you should just trust how your instincts pick up senses of power, and it's called Crystal Life." Ichigo nodded.

"WHAT? YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS? AND YOU DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I'VE GOT?" Shouted Ichigo in a fury. "I'm sorry," replied Ryou shaking his head, "I don't know, You'll have to trust your instincts, if you feel a great amount of power, then you'll find it.. You should really concentrate though, Masha won't be able to pick it up on his sensors unfortunately, and so You're all on your own."

Ichigo looked like she was going to have a nervous breakdown. Here was her love, on death's bed, and there is only one dose of antidote, which can be ANYWHERE in this large world.. How can she cope? Ichigo quietly walked out. Lettuce and Pudding were stopped from following her. Keiichiro shook his head at them. "No, she needs some time alone."

Ichigo walked out to the balcony of the café, where she fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face. 'How can I save him? This task seems impossible!' she whispered to herself. "There is no such thing as impossible."

Ichigo slowly turned her tear-streaked face towards Ryou, who came over and sat beside her. "Why are you giving up? Don't you love him?" he asked sincerely.

"It seems too difficult! We don't have an hour count or any leads? How do we know the antidote isn't in Tokyo? What if its all the way on the other side of the world?" Ichigo sniffled, and Ryou cupped her chin resulting in both of them being able to gaze into the other's eyes.

"You haven't even started and you already claim the job as impossible! Do you love him? If you really did, I'm pretty sure that that love will guide you, and no matter what the circumstance, you'll be able to achieve it, because you know you are doing it to save the one you love. Sitting here and crying won't bring him back, and it won't help him live either. What would Masaya say if he saw you like this? What would he DO if you were in his position, and him in yours?"

No more explaining was needed to be done.. Ichigo understood what he was saying. She nodded, whipping at her tears. "Thanks," she whispered hoarsely. "I understand, I needed that," she smiled at Ryou, which made his heart flutter slightly within his chest. "It's okay, you should remember that we're all here to help you out, kay?"

"Yeah." Ichigo nodded. Ryou stood up, and then held out a hand for her, which she quietly accepted. As she stood up, she saw the rest of the gang behind Ryou.

"Yeah! Na-no–dah! We're here for you!" exclaimed Pudding

"Yeah, we'll help you out!" said Lettuce with a smile.

"You know you can't do this without me," retorted Minto with a smile. Zakuro even managed to smile and nod. "You should remember Ichigo, we're like a family, we all look out for each other." Keiichiro said calmly. Ichigo smiled.

"Thanks you guys," she said in a cracked voice. This is what she loved, the fact that they were like a big family, always having fun together, always looking out for one another, and always there to help with caring the burdens of others. "For Masaya's sake, we'll find that antidote!"

End Chapter

Hopefully, for my sake, and the sake of all readers, as well as the sake of Kish, you don't Ichigo. I hope you don't...And did that look like a little RyouxIchigo fling or something? o.O? maybe.. maybe not.. But I shall remind you, the pairing is KISHxICHIGO! So you all don't have to worry, fluffiness between the two will come later on!

Neways, yeah, I know, that was a boring chapter.. So I might update chapter three along with this chapter... I'll have to see how things go... Neway, I hope you are all enjoying this! Please please, read and review to tell me what you think! Till we meet again! ...
