Chapter 9

"Ichigo you are slacking too much" yelled Ryou as he came down the stairs to see Ichigo sitting down. Ichigo closed her eyes and ignored him. "Ichigo get to work!" yelled Ryou as he went back upstairs. Ichigo followed him upstairs. "Ryou if you want me to get to I want you to tell Cherry how you feel." said Ichigo as she leaned on the door way. "You know that I can't tell her" said Ryou as he turned and faced his computer. "Ryou why do you have to be so daft." said Ichigo as she walked down to the café to help Cherry. "Hey Ichigo do you think you can take this to table 3" said Zakuro. "Sure Zakuro, hey have you seen Cherry?" asked Ichigo as she came back to the cash register. "No I haven't." said Zakuro. "Hey where is Cherry" said Ryou as he came down the stairs. "I AM SOO SRORRY I AM LATE" yelled Cherry as she ran though the doors and went straight to the changing room. She ran out in her uniform and tried to catch her breath. "I am sorry my mom and I went shopping for my dads birthday present since today was his birthday and we went out for breakfast since he had to leave for America in an hour for his business trip and I went with them to the airport, and when I got home I realized that I was late for work so I ran all the way here." said Cherry as she finally caught her breath. All of a sudden her cell phone which made Ichigo's cat ears pop out. "Hi Mom, sorry I ran out on you so fast I forgot I had to work today." said Cherry, after one second Cherry's face turned pale. "Oh no I forgot about today, I'm so stupid mom I am sorry." Said Cherry as her voiced cracked. Cherry hung up and she hit her head on the table. "I am so stupid, I forgot that today me and my mom were going to go to Tokyo and shop all day but no I forgot and I was worried about work….." said Cherry as she sat up. "Well if all of you guys want you can all have the day off." said Ryou as he moved from his spot on the wall. "Do you really mean it Ryou" said Ichigo with a frown. "Yes, now go today we won't open the café." said Ryou he walked towards the basement to tell Keiichiro. "Thank you Ryou" said Cherry as she got up to change. "No problem" he said as he disappeared down the stairs.

Later on that day:

"I am so glad that Ryou gave us the day off" said Ichigo as her and everyone walked down to the café to check up on the alien stuff. "Hey look there is people entering the café and leaving too" said Lettuce as they all turned the corner to see a line outside like every other day. "I thought Ryou wasn't going to open" said Zakuro as they entered the café. "KEIICHIRO I AM GONNA KILL YOU" yelled Ryou as he came out carrying plates of cakes. Ichigo and the others laughed at the sight of Ryou doing work. Only

Cherry didn't laugh she slipped quietly in to the changing room and got in to her uniform. When she came out poor Ryou was getting held back by the girls and Keiichiro was backed against the corner. Cherry shook her head and went to take orders when she got to the group of her fighting friends she cleared her throat and yelled "WILL YOU SHUT UP AND LISTEN" everyone stop shouting at each other and the café got really quiet. "Now that I have your undivided attention I need a glass of water and a strawberry parfait" she said with a smile. Poor Keiichiro and Ryou were almost white as ghosts. While and the girls were laughing there heads off at there faces. They all knew that when Cherry wants to get everyone's attention she gets it. "Yes right away Cherry" said Keiichiro as he got out of the corner he was in. Ryou finally regained his color and he went up stairs to cool down before he tried to strangle his friend again. After work Cherry walked up to Ryou's room and knocked on the door lightly. When she got no answer she cracked the door slightly and saw Ryou sleeping and mumbling something. She listens very closely and heard him say her name. "He must be dreaming of me. Oh I wish I could tell you I love you Ryou but I can't" thought Cherry as she walked down the stairs.

The next day at work Ichigo and the others cornered Cherry in the dressing room. "You love Ryou don't you?" said Mint as she got dressed. "We saw you come down blushing yesterday" said Ichigo as she fixed her hair. "What happen tell us" said Zakuro. ""well I went to see if he was alright and I found him asleep and I opened the door a crack and I heard him say my name in his sleep" said Cherry as she tied her shoe. "Looks like he is in love with you" said Mint as she hugged her friend. "Yea but the problem is I can't tell him." said Cherry as she walked out to start work. Ichigo went up stairs to see Ryou on his computer working on the mew mew project. "I swear if you don't tell Cherry I will." said Ichigo Ryou looked up from his work and gave her a sad look. "I can't tell her cause I might have to go back to America and do some reached from when my father was alive and I don't want her to get hurt when I leave." said Ryou with a sigh. "She's gonna feel hurt if you don't tell her" said Ichigo as she voice got louder. Ryou was about to say something when Lettuce ran up stairs and told Ichigo that a Kirema Anima is attacking Tokyo. "Oh great more problems to worry about" said Ichigo as she ran out. When the Mew Mew team got to Tokyo Kish was laughing at his creation. "Looks like I have yet again created disturbance." said Kish as he vanished and reappeared behind Cherry. "AHH LET ME GO" yelled Cherry has Kish grabbed a hold of her. "CHERRY" yelled everyone else. Kish was about to leave but a punch made him drop Cherry. She looked up and saw Ryou standing over her with his hand out Cherry got up and ran to help her friends. "Curse you, you ruined everything" said Kish as he started to fight Ryou. Ryou kept blocking Kish's punches. Kish got tired of this and pulled out his daggers. "Ryou look out" yelled Cherry as she tackled him to the ground just missing an energy ball. "Thanks Cherry" said Ryou as he got up. Cherry looked at Kish with fear in her eyes. "Your trying to kill him aren't you" said Cherry as she blocked Kish from getting to Ryou. "Ummm yes cause once with him out of the way Tokyo mew mew will be no more without their leader." Laughed Kish as he went to attack again but Cherry beat him to it "CLAWS OF DOOM" yelled Cherry as she struck Kish first and hard. Kish stood there with his chest cut opened deeply. Pai and Tart appeared a few feet away and saw Kish collapse. "Kish" they yelled as they appeared next to him. "You will regret doing this mew mew" said Pai as he lifted Kish off the ground. Then they disappeared. Cherry stood there for a moment and then fainted. Ryou caught her be for she hit the ground. Ichigo ran over to see if her friend was ok. "She just used up to much energy trying to protect me" said Ryou while he never took his eyes of Cherry in his arms. "She protected me" thought Ryou as they walked back to café mew mew.

When Cherry woke up she saw 7 faces staring at her. "Oh thank goodness your ok" said Lettuce as she let out her breath she had been holding. "Oww" said Cherry as she sat up she grabbed her upper arm and found it bandage up. "What happened" said Cherry as she tried to stand up but Ryou stopped her and pushed her down gently. "You tried to get me away from Kish and ended up with a semi-deep cut but its not that bad Keiichiro said" said Ryou as he sighed. "You also kicked Kish's butt then fainted afterward." Said Ichigo she looked at everyone else but Ryou and Cherry and winked. They all knew what that meant so they all walked out. When Cherry looked up she saw that her and Ryou were the only ones in the room. She turned and looked at the alarm clock 8:00 pm. "crap my moms gonna kill me" said Cherry as she got up and put her shoes on. "I'll walk you home" said Ryou as he grabbed his and Cherry's jacket. "Thank you Ryou" said Cherry as she smiled when he gave her coat. "No problem" said Ryou as they went down the stairs. Ichigo was the only one left she was waiting for Cherry while the others went home. "Hey Cherry your mom called she said for you to come home with me because she went to some work dinner thingy." said Ichigo. "Oh that's was tonight" said Cherry as she, Ryou and Ichigo walked to Ichigo's house.

"See you guys at work tomorrow, don't be late" said Ryou as he waved bye. "so what happened when me and the others left?" asked Ichigo as Cherry and her talked in her room. "Nothing and why did you guys leave?" asked Cherry as she looked out the window and saw the grey kitten that always visits her at night. "Hey Alto" said Ichigo as she opened her window. "Oh does this kitten belong to you?" asked cherry as she petted Alto's head. "No" said Ichigo then Ichigo had an idea "Ryou can't get out if the windows not opened" thought Ichigo as she handed Alto to Cherry and she closed the window when the window click Alto's head went at Ichigo and he hissed(Ryou thinking: Ichigo that's not cool let me out) He jumped up and tried to open the window but it didn't work. "Now your going have to show Cherry who you really are Alto!" said Ichigo as she looked at the clock. When she said that Alto started to glow a bright blue, Cherry looked in amazement as the light faded and Ryou replaced Alto. "R…you" said Cherry with her eyes opened confused and amazed. "Are you happy now Ichigo" said Ryou as he opened the window. "Oh no you don't" said Ichigo as she shut the window yet again. "Ryou how can you change into a cat?" said Cherry as she sat on Ichigo's bed so that she wouldn't faint. "Well umm I injected myself with cat DNA to make sure it was safe for you girls and since I didn't have the right DNA to match it turned me in to a cat but Keiichiro injected me with some mew aqua and returned me to myself but now I can change in to a cat but for only 10mins if I stay over 10 mins I stay like a cat forever" said Ryou with a sigh. Cherry nodded her head. "May I go now Ichigo?" asked Ryou but Ichigo wouldn't move. She glared at him and he knew exactly what she was doing. "No I'm not saying anything Ichigo" said Ryou through gritted teeth. "Fine then I will and make a complete fool of you." Said Ichigo in the same cold tone Ryou used. "You guys stop arguing and tell me what you're talking about" said Cherry standing between them with her hands on her hips. Ryou looked at Ichigo with pleading eyes. She shook her head no 'Fine I'll tell her ok but you have to move out of the way so you don't get hurt when I hurry and get out of the room" said Ryou with a sigh. "Great" said Ichigo with a smile on her face, "Look Cherry you guys have to defeat a monster named deep blue soon ok" said Ryou as he headed for the window but got stopped by a very pissed Ichigo. "What I told her." said Ryou "No you told one thing now tell her the important one" said Ichigo. Ryou looked at her then to Cherry and back to her. Ichigo took the hint and nodded her head. Ryou eyes widen and he turned pale. "Your going keep here all night till I tell her aren't you" whispered Ryou so that Cherry didn't hear him. Ichigo nodded her head and smiled devilishly. Ryou went over to cherry and whispered in her ear I love you. Then he walked quickly over to the window and Ichigo moved and opened it for him. He glared at her and turned in to Alto and ran off in to the night.

"SO what did he say?" said Ichigo as she waved her hand in front of Cherry's face. Cherry didn't move or speak she just stared at the spot where Ryou left. He loves me OMG he loves me! Cherry smiled and looked at Ichigo "He said he loves me" said Cherry slightly pink and smiling. Ichigo jumped and gave her friend a hug. "Yes he finally did it" said Ichigo the next day to Mint Lettuce Pudding and Zakuro. They were all at Mint's house before work. "Umm Ichigo I hope you do know that Ryou's probably not going to show his face at all today." said Cherry. Ichigo excitement stopped. "Oh crap I forgot about that." She yelled. "What do you mean Ichigo?" asked Cherry. Ichigo took off in a sprint to get to the café before Cherry does. When she got there she found a very pissed off Ryou. "H…..hey Ryou" said a very nervous Ichigo. He continued to glare at her. "Look she is happy that you love her she even said so herself" said Ichigo as she tried to move out of Ryou glare. "Hello Ryou" said Lettuce as her and the rest arrived. "Get to work" said Ryou in a cold tone "You to Mint no tea until after work." He said before going upstairs. "WHAT HOW DARE HE TELL ME WHAT TO DO" yelled mint as she turned to Ichigo "Look what you did you pissed him off really bad Ichigo now I have to work." said Mint as she got changed Cherry slipped out of the room and walked up the stairs to Ryou's room. She looked in to find Ryou staring at the ceiling. She froze in place as Ryou opened the door. He looked sad and tried. "Yes" he said letting Cherry in. Before she could change her mind Cherry kisses Ryou lightly on he lips. Ryou stood perfectly still he didn't expect anything like that from her he expected to get told off. Cherry turned slightly pink before say "I love you to Ryou". Ryou looked down at Cherry and pulled her into a hug. Cherry wrapped her arms around his waist and stood there enjoying the moment. Ryou was enjoying that moment he never thought Cherry loved him but he was glad that she did.
