Chapter 6 : A terrible discovery
Ichigo, Retasu and Ryou arrived in the computer room.Keiichiro and the others were already there.
" Fine.Now that we´re all here, I´ve got something very important to say to the team. said Keiichiro. A month ago, while me and Ryou were scanning the plans of Tokyo, we discovered that a new source of energy had appeared in town.We don´t know how, we don´t know where it cames from, but there´s one thing you should all know about it : It could kill us all.But at the time, the energy wasn´t doing anything, so we…
" Hum Hum ! "said Ryou.
" so I just thought I didn´t have to tell you now. " continued Keiichiro.
Zakuro asked :
" This energy… Is it like Mew Aqua ?
" No, said Ryou. Definitively not.It´s much more powerfull and doesn´t act the same : this… thing founds a person…
" Wait a minute. said Ichigo. Did you just said founds ? So this thing, it´s counscious ?
" Yes, we can say that.So like I said, it founds a person and tries to controle his mind.It reacts in function of this person´s feelings and emotions. "
Keiichiro continued :
" That´s where you come in, Retasu.This thing is trying to get to your mind.That explains your dreams and hallucinations, and it´s not gonna give up until it gets to you.
" Wh… what ? " said Retasu.
" Keiichiro, wait a second ! said Ryou. You never talked to me about this, it´s really serious ! "
Retasu couldn´t say a thing.Everyone was staring at her now.
" But…what can we do ? " asked Minto to Keiichiro.
" This thing puts Retasu in grave danger.We have to find it and destroy it.Tomorow we will find a way to locate it, don´t you worry about that.But now, it´s late, you should all go home. "
They all agreed.Ichigo was the first one to leave, because she had a date with Masaya.Then Zakuro and Minto left, and Purin too, who had to take care of her brothers and sisters.They all really believe that they could knock this thing out before it hurts someone.
Retasu was on the roof of café Mew Mew, watching the sunset.
I really can´t believe it… why did this had to happen to me ? And on my birthday…
She looked at the golden necklace and closed her eyes.
" Retasu ? "
The green haired girl turned around.Ryou was looking at her, and he really looked worried.
" Oh, it´s you, what is it ?
" Retasu, are you feeling alright ?
" I´m going to die.Other than that, I´m perfect.
" Don´t say that ! We´re gonna destroy this thing as soon as possible.I promise you that everything´s gonna be fine.
" Thanks.But, what if I completely loose it ? Remember ? This thing is controled by my feelings.If somehow, I get angry, scared, or even nervous, it could do anything.
" Now why would you be nervous ?
" It´s kinda difficult to say, sometimes I have all the reasons in the world to be nervous. "
Like right now… she tought.
" You aren´t going home ? " asked Ryou.
" No, I prefer staying here a bit longer.
" Do you mind if I stay ?
" Uh…no, you can come. " answered Retasu, completely red.
" Ok. " Ryou came next to Retasu to watch the sunset with her.Retasu smiled.Deep inside her, she wished this night could never end.
