I woke up in a room that I didn't recognize. I was on a bed with a blue blanket and the room was mostly empty. There was a desk with a computer on it a dresser and the bed I was sleeping on and that was it. Memories of what had happened earlier with Nariyuki flooded into my head and I weird almost jumped out of the bed. I actually tried to jump out of bed but found myself still feeling weak.
'How am I suppose to find a cure if I can barley move!' I thought as I slowly sat up in the bed. As carefully as I could I stood up. I wobbled a little but didn't fall over. I carefully walked over to the door and opened it. I saw myself looking into a bare hallway and then at the end of it was some stairs. I was about to walk over to them when I saw a boy with blond hair and green eyes come from them, and he was holding a tray with some soup on it. When he saw me he smiled.
I smiled back, "Where am I?" I asked him as we went back into the room I had just come from.
"We're at Café Mew Mew, and this is my room." I looked around the room and then looked at Mikio. I had been sleeping in Mikio's bed without even knowing it. I suddenly noticed that my arm where Nariyuki had cut me was bandaged up. I rubbed it a little.
"Are you okay? Does it hurt?" asked Mikio. He gently took my arm and pulled off the bandage. It looked horrible! It was a little green and crusty around the cut, and just looking at it made me want to puke.
"Its fine… or at least if feels fine…" I said looking away. He covered it up with the bandage again and then hugged me tightly.
"I was so worried about you Yuki!" he whispered into my ear. I hugged him back. The door opened and we quickly let go of each other. Ryou came into the room and walked over to me.
"Do you need anything Yuki?" he asked.
I shrugged, "Just some answers…"
"What answers?" he asked me.
I couldn't hold it back any longer, "WHAT THE HEAK WAS ON THAT BLADE! AM I GOING TO DIE! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" Ryou jumped back about a foot and Mikio stood still with a smile on his face.
Ryou took a deep, shaky breath and said, "Mikio and I took a sample of skin from around your wound to test. We found out that the chemical on the sword was a common poison used by the aliens. It's used to target any part of the brain and destroy it. Yours targets the part of your brain where your mew powers are. It will completely destroy that area if we don't find the antidote by noon today." He looked at Mikio and nodded.
Mikio took my hands into his and said, "If we don't find the antidote by noon you will not only loose your mew powers you will also loose all memory of ever being a mew… if you loose that information you will also forget about all the mews that you didn't know before you found out you were a mew and… you will forget about me and Ryou and we will not be able to talk to you ever again because only people who knows about mews can know us. I'm sorry Yuki…" he looked into my eyes and I saw that they were very sorrowful and sad. I felt tears swelling up in my eyes. Mikio let go of my hands and walked out of the room. I felt a tear roll down my face and I quickly wiped it away.
"Ryou… do you have any idea what the cure might be?" I asked not sounding very hopeful.
"Actually, I do." I looked up at him, my hope starting to come back. "But just because I know what it is doesn't mean that we'll find it in time. The cure is a mew aqua. Before humans lived here they were extremely common. They were in every body of water. But then humans started to build things and destroy the water with prolusion. Mew aquas are extremely powerful and your mother and the other mews used them many times to save the world. After your mother defeated Deep Blue we gave the last of them to the aliens… or so we thought. I recently found mew aqua activity somewhere in the city… but I couldn't pick up it's exact location."
I nodded then said, "Well at least I know there is a slight chance. Just one thing Ryou…"
"What is that?"
"How the heck am I suppose to find it if I can barley move!" I yelled, full of frustration and worry.
I heard him mutter something like, "Definitely Ichigo's daughter…" I frowned as I waited for an answer.
"You aren't going to find it. I sent the other mews out to find it for you. You are too weak from the poison. Just sit down and relax." I was about to yell some more about how I was about to loose all my memory about being a mew and he was telling me to sit down and relax but stopped myself. I figured he had had more then enough yelling from me for one day. I sat down on Mikio's bed and crossed my arms across my chest. I looked at a clock on the wall and frowned. It was almost 11 meaning I might only have a little more then an hour to remember any of this. Ryou left the room and left me all alone. All there was left to do was wait.
