Mizuki wobbled on the fence before falling into the bushes. "Ita..." Shinji helped her up while Nabiki sighed. She walked up to the blonde/pinkette.
"You can't just walk on the fence like Miyuki-kun can."
"I understand that, but there has to be a Suikazura child walking on the fence, or everything will just be weird..."
Nabiki looked down. "Miyuki-kun hasn't been to school, or out of the house for that matter. Is she okay?"
Shinji looked down. "She's in shock. She fainted when she got the news that she isn't a Mew Mew anymore. She hasn't woken yet, and she's running a fever..."
"Haruka-kun delayed taking his entrance exams so that he could stay and take care of her, right?"
Mizuki nodded. "Yeah, and he was looking forward to going to school here too."
Shinji sighed. "Sakura-chan almost burned the house down three times trying to make soup for Neko-err...Miyuki."
There was a long pause. "We should hurry." Mizuki said hastily.
Mizuki, Nabiki, and Shinji entered Miyuki's house. The first thing they heard was arguing from the kitchen. They saw Ryou and Pie.
"I thought I made it clear that I was the one who was to take care of Kitty-chan!" Ryou hissed.
"And I was sure that I made it clear that you weren't." Pie retorted.
"Why should you be the one who cares for her. I'm her childhood friend!"
Pie smirked. "That's nothing. I am practically her brother-in-law." Mizuki and Nabiki looked at a surprised Shinji.
Ryou winced. "You are not! Kisshu and Kitty-chan aren't even engaged!" He barked.
Pie smirked. "And how much longer do you think it'll be until my brother proposes to her? Kisshu truly does love Miyuki-usagi." Mizuki felt a hint of jealousy inside her. Shinji's face was a shiny red.
"How do you know if Kitty-chan feels the same? We have to acknowledge that she can be very naïve!"
"What?" Shinji raised his arm up. "Kish Kisshu Change!" He snapped his fingers and Kisshu was in his place. He flew up to Ryou. "Who are you to question my relationship with Miyuki?!" He snapped.
Ryou glared at him. "I'm her childhood friend, and I know her way better than you do!"
Electricity cackled as they challenged each other. Mizuki got in between them. "Now, now. We don't need any chaos right now. Odango-chan is sick and we want to help her, right? ALSO YOU LAME BRAINS CALLED A TRUCE SO YOU BETTER BEHAVE YOURSELVES!" Ryou and Kisshu glared at each other one last time before looking away. Pie raised an eyebrow.
"Mizuki-san, you're not to be trifled with."
"No I am not. I suggest we let Pie take care of Odango-chan."
Nabiki looked at her. "Why?"
"I'm worried that if I let Kisshu do it, I'll get fired," She pointed at Ryou. "And if I let Ryou do it, Kisshu might attempt to kill either me or him." She whispered something. "It sounds like something he'd do."
Pie nodded. "That sounds reasonable. But first, why don't we check on her again?"
They nodded and went into Miyuki's room. Kyo jumped at the sound of the door opening.
"Hi Kyo." Mizuki greeted.
They walked up to Miyuki's bed. Pie placed the back of his hand on her forhead, then on her neck. "Well, she's sweating a little. That's a good sign."
Sakura and Haruka opened the door. "Tadaima!"
Pie went downstairs. "Did you get what I asked for?" he asked. Sakura looked at Haruka. He held up a bag of ice and Sakura held up a thermometer.
Pie placed an ice pack Miyuki's head. He looked at the thermometer. "Is 102.1 bad for humans?" He asked.
"YES IT'S BAD!" Mizuki and Nabiki barked. Pie nodded, sweatdropping.
"I figured. I had to make sure, seeing as humans and aliens are different. This temperature wouldn't be of much concern to us." He tucked her in. "Seeing as Haruka has to wake up early to take Sakura to daycare, I can't ask him to do this. One of you will have to stay here and change her ice pack overnight."
"I'll do it!" Ryou and Kisshu volunteered. They glared at each other.
"Childhood friend!"
"Boyfriend!"
"For the love of Tokyo! Just play rock, paper, scissors you jackasses!" Mizuki barked. Ryou and Kisshu inched away. They glared at each other.
Two minutes later...
Kisshu mourned in his little depression corner. "Why did I have to choose scissors..." Ryou smirked, obviously not caring for the alien's reaction.
"Pie, how come you can't care for her?"
"I have to continue my research on these predacites." Bunko came out of her headband form, and Chibi-Mew came out of her key chain form.
"Predacite alert! Predacites alert!" They chorused. Mizuki, Kisshu, and Pie nodded and ran out of the house. Nabiki ran too.
"Don't even think you can leave me behind!"
Haruka ran after her. "Chiba-san, that's dangerous!" Sakura blinked.
"Sakura has an idea to help Oneechama." He looked at her. "Oneechama can use aura, right?" Ryou nodded. "Then Oneechama can still fight."
Ryou blinked. "What do you mean?"
"If Oneechama can make a sphere with aura, then Sakura will explain. Actually...Usagi will explain."
"That little alien girl!?"
Miyuki strained as she woke up. It was as if there was something restricted her from moving. She opened her eyes and saw a neck. She looked up and saw Ryou's sleeping form. She blushed, but it just made her head hurt. So did thinking about why Ryou was even in her house. "Ryou-chan...Ryou..." She closed her eyes. She tried to move but Ryou simply hugged her closer.
"Stop moving, you need your rest." He grunted. Miyuki sweatdropped. So he wasn't sleeping...
"I'm fine...Did Haruka pass his entrance exams?"
Ryou sweatdropped. "Actually, he didn't take the exams. He delayed so that he could take care of you. You've been in shock for a week."
"What? A WEEK?! Imagine how much homework I've missed!" She sat up. "I probably have a B- in all my classes now!" She got out of bed. "I need a shower, a pencil, and-Oh no, I don't have the homework!" She blinked. "I'll take a shower and call Nabiki-chan later."
Ryou listened to the shower run. Sakura bounced into the room. "Where's Oneechama?"
"Shower." Sakura ran towards the bathroom. "Sakura, where are you going?"
Sakura ran into the bathroom and closed the door. "Sakura-chan what are you doing? Hey-hey wait! NO! ACK!"
Swish, bam!
Ryou ran into the bathroom. He blushed. The only thing covering her was a shower curtain and a bubbly Sakura.
"Ryou get outta here!" He snapped out of it.
"S-sorry!"
"GET OUT!" She threw a bar of soap at him and he ran. "Hentai..." She grumbled. She scowled down at the little alien. "Sakura-chan, who taught you that it's okay to barge in on someone taking a shower?!"
"Sorry. Sakura was just excited to see Oneechama awake..." Miyuki arched a brow.
"Don't ever do that again." Sakura nodded before becoming happy again.
"Oneechama, Sakura has an idea so that you can fight the predacites!" Miyuki blinked. _
Miyuki, Ryou and Usagi sat in a circle. Ryou was wary of the girl. "So you and Sakura came up with this idea on your own?"
"Hai! Usagi and Sakura are great friends!" She looked at Miyuki."If Oneechama wants to fight again, she needs to make her aura seeable."
"You mean visible?" Ryou corrected. Usagi ignored him.
"Understand, Oneechama?"
Miyuki blinked before shaking her head. "What do you mean by "Make her aura seeable"?" She asked.
Usagi smiled. "Usagi will show you." She looked at her lap. Usagi held her hands close to each other. A little ball of energy formed between her hands.
Miyuki's eyes widened. "How cool! So is that your aura?"
Usagi shook her head. "No, this is Usagi's energy. Aura is rare, and isn't usually used for fighting. It's used for healing usually. But for Oneechama, Usagi will try to teach you, even though she can't do it herself."
"Okay. So what does she do first?" Ryou asked.
"First, you have to make your aura seeable." Miyuki nodded. "Focus really hard. But Oneechama has to be relaxed. If Oneechama is stressed while training her aura, she might hurt herself." Ryou
Miyuki nodded. She looked at her lap and cupped her hands. She focused hard, and soon a little reddish-purple light flickered in and out of sight. She focused harder and eventually felt a sharp pain in her head. "Ow..."
"Usagi told you to be relaxed, you were straining yourself." Ryou scolded.
Usagi looked at her. "It was still a good first try. Usagi saw Oneechama's aura for a second." Miyuki nodded. "You wanna try too?"
"But I don't have aura powers."
"No? Oh...Usagi thought...no matter!" She looked at Miyuki. "Try again, but stay calm."
"Right." She looked down before taking an deep breath in and out. She began to focus again. The familiar light appeared again, it faded for a second before reappearing. Miyuki smiled. It was a small light, and resembled a diamond, almost. "Hey, I did it! Now what?"
"Try to control its movements." Miyuki nodded. She focused on her aura. She lifted her hands slowly, and the light followed. She move one hand around, and her aura hovered over it as it followed.
Ryou and Usagi smiled. "Oneechama is a fast learner. Now see if you could-"
"Atchoo!" Miyuki sneezed. The aura was sent flying and slammed into Ryou and knocked him over. "Ryou-chan!" She ran up to him. "Gomen nasai! Are you alive?" Usagi and Miyuki sweatdropped.
Ryou lied on his back, babbling complete nonsense as spirals spun in his eyes. Usagi poked him before looking at her. "Oneechama, your aura is strong."
"Yeah?"
Usagi nodded once. "Hai." She looked at Ryou. "Oneechama managed to knock out Oniikun after her first lesson."
Miyuki stood up straight and put her hands on her hips. "I hope Ryou-chan will forgive me."
This was short. As for who the new mews will be, can you guess who they are? VOTE BY THE WAY! ONLY TWO PEOPLE HAVE VOTED FOR WHAT THE NEW MEWS WILL BE! GOSH!
