yeah story

Nekomimiko · 2010-01-21T14:11:23-01:00

So I thought of a story when I was going home in a bus for hours, so I thought I might join in the writing section. Pardon my limitation of grammer etc, I used spell check!!, but critisism regarding it is welcome too. Now just chapter one~! Chapter 0 - The Prologue Spoiler:The sky is dark, it's nightfall, but the search team still continued. They have been searching for it, for hours, relying with only a heat sensor with a radius of 50 meters. I am mercenary who served the corporation just for a month, a new recruit with only little training, still I haven't been exempted for working overtime tonight. My job tonight, was different, different then the usual guarding the research lab. I was forced to enter the forest nearby the research facility with a team of 2 in search for something which I has only been informed as "dangerous". "Hey... Yuji....hey!" I call out for my partner in front, pointing my hand held flashlight towards him to get his attention. "What the matter Takaaki..........arrghh point that light away from me!!" Yuji said raising his rifle in front of his face to block the ray of light. "What exactly are we looking for anyway?" "Judging from the ruckus it created to the whole facility, it must be another prototype robot that gone berserk anyway..." Yuji said with a calm expression as if it was a common procedure. "Ohh...is that a big deal?" I asked, I sensed that my partner is hinting that this incident is another repetitive job, because this was the first time I have been in this situation. "Naahhhh...probably another mini construction vehicle or auto motorcycle gone past it's tracks, its pretty usual, they classify "dangerous" on default.....gahh, what trouble..and all these bugs are annoying...well...at least we get paid" Explained Yuji while lighting a cigarette. "Oh.." I gave a sign of relieve, my grip lessen on my rifle and started to relax as we both walk pass the bushes and trees. "Still...." Yuji continued "Huh?" "I wonder why the heat sensor didn't pick it up..." Said Yuji while looking at the hand held heat sensor's monitor. I kept quiet, I didnt know what to say for a senior asking me a question, Yuji realized that I probably doesn't know either, and continued the search. "Group Delta, Group Delta, respond, you bastards still alive? Over." "Group Delta responding, yes Major, nothing unusual spotted, over." I responded the radio transmission by pressing the button on my headphone. "Continue your search until point D, then stay guard at that point" "Roger that" "This is boring... I want to go back home, its my sister's birthday you know, I cant believe I have to work overtime today out of all time..." I complained. I promised my 7 year old sister to go home early tonight, its her birthday, I even bought her a present, a cute white bunny doll, its in my backpack right now. I knew she would love it, because she loved fluffy small animals. The anticipation of watching my sister jumping with joy grows every second as I thought of it. "Ahh...I am the god of older brothers..." I said while walking and day dreaming. "Wha?..." Yuji looked towards me with an obvious face of disgust. "Pervert, your sister is your target huh?" continued Yuji with a smirk on his face. "No of course not! Im just being a good older brother!" "Oh my oh my..Shes just 7 years old for crying out loud, how could you...thats cruel oni-chan?" Yuji ignored me and started his taunts. "Why you...how dare you!!........Ouch!!" I shouted while crouching, holding my foot. "What? did you step on something?" Yuji stopped the jokes. What lies near My crouching figure is a......foot? "Beep Beep Beep Beep" the heat sensor started the alarm loudly, it was straight level five distance. All of a sudden, there was something, and it was near....... Very near. "System startup complete" "All functions operational" "Two enemy identified" A mechanical voice, near enough to hear, clear enough to identify its meaning. "Takaaki! It-" A shadow flew out of the bushes, rushes towards Yuji in a straight line, as if it identified Yuji as the upmost priority as a target. 10 years of training, wasn't enough to catch up with the shadow's movement. Before Yuji even finish warning Takaaki, his throat spewed blood. Everything happened in no more then 2 seconds. A deep cut wound, cut into the throat of a human just deep enough to severe the veins, arteries and the nerves connecting the brain. No voice came out from the still standing Yuji, he didn't even breath nor raise his hands to check his wounds. His head fell downwards as his body left standing. Blood flowed down the green uniform. Finally, his body lost balance and fell towards the bed of grasses. Whats going on....something isnt right... I failed to register into my brain the situation that just occurred, that must be the robot that went missing, I knew it. The robot must have shutdown to sleep mode and started the cooling itself to avoid being tracked by us. How did it know we were nearby? The heat sensors...it must have detected it, its radar sense is much more advanced then our equipments? I stopped asking why to myself. The military training I received smack me to my senses. I need to protect myself, and all thoughts must be placed to prioritize my survival. I got up swiftly and held my rifle, I couldn't find the target, my vision couldn't find any slight movement of the previous shadow, I flashed my light towards random areas. Cold sweat began to drop with the silence of the environment. I felt like a prey getting watched by a predator, I can feel that I am being targeted, being analyzed, and the predator is just waiting for the chance to strike. "HQ HQ, respond, this is Group Delta, I have one man down and in engage with an enemy at point F, I repeat, I have one man down and is engaging with the enemy at point F." "Roger that Delta, we are sending backup right now" The nearest backup from point G will take 5 minutes to reach this area, I just need to held out for 5 minutes...just 5 minutes... Will I be able to last? I must be able to last......for the sake of Yuki-chan... The heat sensor, is lying at Yuji's headless body, maybe if I can get that.. A spear of light A straight ray of light like a spear flew through the bushes and into my left chest. There was no time for reaction, the shadow has appeared right towards me and stabbed me with it's left arm. There was no room for error, the shadow's arm passed through a spot of no revival, my chest has a hole in it and my heart is destroyed, even my bullet proof vest acts no more then a piece of paper. I held up my rifle and started shooting at point blank at the figure before me. "At least.......IM going...to take you with me!!!" It hurts.....my face....my foot....my body...everywhere hurts. This is weird...I thought I was only getting stabbed on my chest... The bullets are deflecting, every one of them not penetrating the enemy before me, instead shot towards me. My vision blurred, my body was filled with blood, I find no meaning in continuing this, not when something like that is immune to bullets. I reached my hand slowly towards my backpack to take out my grenade. I need to inflict as much damage as possible to this beast, at least, for my comrades to take it down. I grabbed a hold of something then pulled it out, with a heart preparing to sacrifice, I reach my thumb to pull of the trigger. It wasn't a grenade, nor it was any military equipment. It was the white bunny I was planning to give as a present for my beloved sister Yuki. Ha....ha.....how foolis- The dark figure pulled it's arm out of my chest and let me fall towards the floor of grass. My vision began to blur, the moonlight above shone apon the dark figure, it was a humanoid cyborg, its left hand fingers filled with red blood and some string like veins and arteries. It was wearing a some western clothing and an apron... This...must be a joke..... My vision blurred to the extend of not recognizing anything anymore. I held the blood stained white bunny doll tight in my fists..... I haven't gave her.... I need to..... Yuki... I... Don't want to die..... Tears flowed from my face as I fell in to my eternal sleep. "All enemies annihilated" "Detecting new soldiers at distance 70 meters" "Proceed to evacuate" Chapter 1 - Mecha Maid Mika Spoiler:Mundane Lifeless Fake What am I doing here, in this classroom, copying the endless note from the white board, why cant the teacher just print all the equations into a piece of paper.... What. am I doing here, to finish my education? To get a certificate? Just like all the other 30 students in this classroom? No... It's just a method to mask my hatred and go on with life....cowardice......ahh, there he goes again, making another mistake teaching the students the wrong thing, seriously.... "Sensei! Your equation on question 4 is wrong" I raised my voice as well as my hand to grab his attention. "Huh...?................ ahh... Kotonomiya-kun, hmmm...I see its just a little mistake in the question.." He stood before the part of the white board which shows the wrong equation to block our view and began to change it. Mistake in the question? No...the whole equation he did is wrong, using the wrong method. Is he trying to protect his pride? "Sensei! Actually you should use the-" "Arhh!!!! Kotonomiya-kun, I know where it's wrong, genius, this class is exempted for you! You can go out now, there isn't any purpose for you being here anyway." "Whoaa...there he goes again...making the teacher mad, how many times does he want to do that?" "But his right isn't he? That should teach that old geezer a lesson." "But..doesn't he have any compassion for that old guy... at least leave him some pride.." "But..but..I think his kind of...cool...maybe...maybe...?" "Aoi-san!!" Several conversations by the other students took place as I packed my books into my bag. I left the teacher in steam and the students in awe, this isn't the first time I did this stunt, I quietly head to my favorite spot of leisure in the school. The rooftop. As I walked up the stairs then proceed to open the door to the rooftop, the breeze of wind welcomes me as usual. I lay down on the bench with my hands folded behind my head as a pillow. This is boring, repetitive days are passing, what am I hoping for... No.. I knew what I wanted to do........ I curse my incapability and slowly fell asleep as I wait for her to finish classes. "Oni-chan......" What... "Oni-chan!! Wake up!!" I opened my eyes, its already evening, the sky is dyed crimson, a pink long haired girl stand before me, that distinctive string of hair that somehow stands out in the middle of her head tells me that she is my one and only sister - Kotonomiya Sora. "Oni-chan, classes are over, let's go home, ne?" Seriously, how does that part of her hair defy normal physics? She woke up early every morning tried combing it down for half an hour before she would come out of the house. Only to realize that it regains it's form in less then 15 minutes. "Oni-chan, you there? Oiii Oniiiichaaannn!!" That part of her hair must be made of a different hair cell, maybe it's 20 times stronger and tough then a normal hair yet not lose it's flexibility. Something like that defiantly need some analysis, maybe if I could identify that hair's attributes I could- "Hyaaakkkk" "GoHOooooooKKU!!!" Sora punched me right on my face all of a sudden, my right cheek hurts from her fist, doesn't she know how to hold back? I remember the last time my memory serves me, I am her precious brother, I would never hurt her in anyway but is a younger sister hitting a brother acceptable? What twisted logic is this, still....that string of hair... "Uuu...stop looking at my hair like that..." Said the Sora with puffing cheeks, she tried pushing her string of hair down by covering her head with both of her hands while watching her own brother like a killer. "Ah....fine.... lets go home now" I lost interest on her hair since I can no longer observe it openly. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Oni-chan, ne, ne, Oni-chan~!" As we walked down the street leading to our apartment, Sora called out to me happily. "Yea?" I asked, 50% expecting her to ask me a question about what to do in the holidays that just started today, 25% expecting her to ask what is for dinner since she cant cook, 24% expecting something random and dumb, 1% hoping that she would tell me that I'm the best brother in the world, since I really am. I should be expecting higher percentage of her praising me because yesterday I made her favorite dishes for dinner, yes it must be it! Lets make it 20%, no, 40%! "Do we have any plans for the holidays? Sora ne, Sora wants to go to that newly opened theme park nearby, can we go? can we?" She said while standing in front of me blocking my path demanding a immediate answer. "Ahhh...probability sucks..." "Hah?" Sora tilted her head, but then continue to pressure me. "Oni-chan~~~ Sora wanna go to the theme park~!" She said while stomping her feet on the floor, inviting several stares from people passing by. "How bout you stop calling yourself from a third person perspective and be more mature then a baby? Then Ill think of it." "O...okay, Sora..I, Ill be more mature from now on, so Oni-chan, take me go to the theme park!!". "Since you are mature and adult right now, you need to cut down on sweets okay?" "Yeah! I'm more mature now, so I'll cut down on the cakes and sweets!!!" sensing that I am flowing on the agreement, Sora happily agrees quickly, even though I bet she doesn't mean it. "Since you are mature and adult right now, you wouldn't need to go to a children's theme park right?" "Yeah! Sora is more mature now, so Sora don't need to go to some children's theme park........Oni-chan!! Stop bullying!!" Sora puffed her cheeks and stare at me, her typical reaction for rage. "You said it yourself" I said while smirking on my victory, I proceed to walk before she could make a counter attack. There was a moment of silence...and then "But...Oni-chan...Oni-chan promised Sora, never to let Sora be sad...after that incident..do you remember?" Sora said while facing her head to the ground. The deadly blow, the ultimate skill, Sora's sure-kill finish, effectiveness towards Kotonomiya Shin - 300% of normal damage. "Gaahh...fine...fine Sora, I promise you, Monday, okay?" "YEAH~~~!!! Yahoo~~~ Oni-chan your the best~!!" Sora leaped around with joy. Again...doesnt she have any shame in public, and how did her mood changed in less then a second?? I guess this month's savings will decrease.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Why do everyone likes to throw their garbage outside, even if they do not care for the environment, at least care for other's convenience" I complained, even though I'm not the one to say, solely because I care for no one other then myself and my sister. Everyone else related to me, follows the rule of equal exchange. "Oni-chan....I don't think it's a garbage, look.. it looks like a person." said Sora while grabbing my sleeve. There was a person, a human shaped female, dressed in a typical maid outfit with an apron crouching in front of my apartment building. I quickly identified it as an android maid, mainly because of the maid headdress she wore, which held the symbol of that company, or else she would have looked 100% human without any distinction. It seemed to be on sleep mode, judging on that, it probably lack power to further operate or is on saving mode. "Lets go Sora, lets just leave that scrap metal here." I quickly tries to draw the attention away from Sora, because I knew her far too well. "No....why is she crouching here alone...? It looks sad, lets ask her what happen.." Sora insist on pursuing the matter like she found a abandoned kitten in a box. "Its a android, Sora, from the UKAF company" I explained with a expressionless tone. ".................................." Sora knows what that meant, she must have known, there was no way she wouldn't know. A long silence, I held Sora's hand and tried to pull her away from that android as if it was a dangerous reptile. She didn't budge, I knew her far too well, and I knew it's already too late. "Let's take her inside...ne? Its cold outside..." "Look Sora, androids don't feel cold and it is none of our business, now let's go back inside, okay?" "But...Shin-Oni-chan..." She said while staring at me with teary eyes. Before I could react. "Shin.." A female voice Who? Where was the stranger's sound coming from, I looked around but found no one in my surroundings, then I realize, it was her "Shin.....Shin...!" The android lift her head and looked at me. What..did it startup it's system on reaction to my name? Does it know me? Did it know me? It is targeting me? It is from him?! This is far too unknown and dangerous for Sora to stay here, I quickly grabbed my sister's arm and get ready to make a run for it when something happens. The maid android gets on her feet, makes a polite 45 degree bow, and utter words which shocked me. "Master acknowledged, Shin-sama, I've finally found you" It seemed like a common maid android, I relaxed my grip of my sister's arm, but what does it meant by finally found me.... Whatever, I don't want to know. "Ne ne, Oni-chan, why does she calls you master all of a sudden? Did you bought a maid robot recently? With our budget? Did you win the lottery?" Sora disregard my sudden grip on her arm and asked happily as if she opened a Christmas presents. I ignored the android completely. "No Sora, it's not ours and I don't know her." I held Sora's hand and walked into the apartment building and went into my flat. After I went in, I turned to look at Sora, I saw her holding the robot maid's hand with a cheeky smile while I pulled her into the flat. "Wha.....tell it get out of my home!" "Oni-chan!!" "Power limit reached" "Require external source" "External cable release" "Shutting down" A different voice came from the robot maid, it wasn't even classified as a voice, it was a sound, a emotionless mechanical generated sound. "Oi don't shut down here!! Oi!!...........................shit" Damn....now I have a overweight garbage right in my home...great If it was low on power why the did it even use it's last remaining backup power to get up meaninglessly just now? What a cheap programmed robot, the UKAF mechanical factory must have decrease in quality already... I quietly observed the crouching maid robot, she was sitting on the floor like a polite traditional Japanese lady. Still I haven't seen a maid robot with such fine facial detail yet, it looks 100% like a normal human, her short white hair, what a rare hair choice, I guess they placed much decoration priority on it? ....not good, I must not get tempted... Her clothing show no sign of dust, wrinkles, or any mark of dirt, what material did they use for the clothing..I need to get one of those...Sora always dirty the carpet whenever she eats in the living room.. "Switch on~!!" "Wha-" When I didn't notice, Sora has already plugged in the external cable to a power plug at the nearest wall. "External power source check" "Recharging battery start" "System startup" Again, that cold blooded mechanical voice....it brings shiver to my bones, they should really disable it. Sora was excited and clapping her hands together. The maid robot's pupil lighten up. "Thank you Master, for providing me with the power source" said the maid with a slight bow while sitting. I sigh, since she was already on startup mode, I might as well ask. "First of all, why are you calling me Master? This is the first time I've met you and I have not registered my name into your database at any time." I press for questions, I hate not knowing things, I need to place things in order, I need to understand the flow. The maid seemed puzzled and tilted her head, or so it looked, or is it programmed that way when processing information. "I dont understand Master, Shin is recorded as my Master, that is all" The maid robot said as if it wasn't concerning her "................" Something is wrong, something is defiantly wrong...I never did involve myself in any sort of activity in regards to a robot being registered under my name.. Sora was sitting beside me in awe looking at the maid robot, she kept quiet and listen to whatever is happening.....which makes what I'm doing easier. "State your introduction, android" I commanded for a basic intro for the robot, each and every robot should be programmed to state their Name, product code, manufacturer, ownership and various other information. I knew this information, clearly, as much as other factors of basic robot programmings, because of the past that I detest so much. "My name is Mika, Mechanical Armored Individual Destroyer EX000 Prototype MAID from UKAF project CC, Crimson Cleanse. Level one priority and Ownership folder : Shin." What..? Something is wrong with this, no, everything is wrong, this is not a robot house maid, its a weapon, why did UKAF started producing weapons? how did I became the master of this android? And why does she have a name not given by the owner - Me? I cant comprehend, the possibility is too vast, everything is confusing, my head hurts. "Waaaaah~~~! It looks like its really something cool ne Oni-chan ~!" Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door, no one I'd know could have bang the door so roughly... Chapter 2 - Crimson Night Spoiler:I walked up to the door and peek through the viewer, it was two well built male in light armored uniform suits, their badge on their right sleeve tells me that they are from the police department. Not wanting to cause trouble, I opened the door and greet them. Immediately, they swing out their identification badge lazily as if they did this repetitive action for this whole block before coming to our flat. "We are looking for a missing maid robot, on this picture, do you recognized it?" One of the police asked while showing us a holographic image from his wristband, a white short haired maid, exactly the maid who was still recharging herself in the living room. Straight to the point, they didn't even bother to identify themselves verbally, looks like they are really tired going from door to door asking each family the same question. But those are not my concern, I can let this burden go right now, this abnormal factor can be deleted right this instant. I will let them take this robot, then I will forget about it, yes, everything will be back to normal. "Appare-" "Nope, oji-san~" "Ha-?" Sora was just beside me, smiling like she used to. Did she just.. "Really?" one of the police questioned her, he must have realized my strange response. "Nope~ sorry ne! Sora haven't seen anything like that, same goes for Onichan, ne?" she said while facing me. ... "ne?" Damn....if she worded it like that.... "Yeah...sorry, we haven't seen anything like that...." I replied to the policemen. "I see, thanks for your cooperation." Both of the them left to question the next apartment block. I closed the door and sighed. Great, everything just turned great. Sora smiled, then ran towards the maid robot Mika, as if she was anxious to try out her new toy. "Sora-" I called out to her, so that I could question her motive for this senseless action. Then I saw her happily chatting with Mika, asking her various questions. Excitement, anxious, and most of all, the emotion of happiness is leaking out of her........... No....... Is that happiness? What else can be described.... her smile is much more brighter and filled with energy then the usual...... "-close combat specialist with armor coating particles" What are they talking about....I wonder......there is two halves of a metal bar on the floor near Mika, Sora must have used it to experiment on Mika's strength, based on that, she must be no normal maid robot as she introduced. "Ne ne, Mika-chan, can you fly? Fly in the sky like this ! Fuuuuuu~~~~~~~" Sora stood up and raise up both of her hands then jump up and down. I thought she was 17? Why doesn't she act more like her age. "Sora, listen to me" I spoke up finally, I have to... "Yeap? Onichan?" Sora said without even looking at me, her hands all over the quietly sitting Mika. Mika, on the other hand, plant a solid poker face and sat like a well educated traditional Japanese women. "She is a robot weapon, she isn't human, its a dangerous weapon, what are you thinking? We could..whoaaAHHH!!! Stop Stop!!" I furiously shouted as Sora started to undress the Mika's top clothing to examine. "What are you talking about Onichan, isn't she a just a robot? There are all just mechanical parts inside her anyway....but whoaaa....her skin is soft just like a baby's skin, envy...waaah....she's bigg..." Sora said while sliding her hands under Mika's maid clothing. Urrghh... this is so unhealthy for me, and Mika isn't even reacting to Sora's molestation. Still, I have to continue.. "Sora, listen, if we don't dispose of her quickly we could get arres-" "Ne ne, onichan! Look! Your favourite big breast!" Sora said while groping Mika's chest over her maid clothing, still, Mika just looked emotionless, of course..because she is a robot. Rather then that.... "............. stop it and listen." Sora's smile lightened down, she retracted her hands from Mika because she knew that her distraction did not work. Mika realized that Sora was done with her and re buttoned her messed up maid clothes, she tidied up herself and placed both of her hands on her lap. "What are you doing just now? Why didn't you send this weapon back? Why did you lied to the police?" "Hehe, Onichan, why are you getting all angry, isn't this what we wanted?" she said, she was smiling, but it was no innocent smile. [size=11]"isn't this what we wanted..."[/h] [size=10]"what we wanted............."[/h] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was hardly 14... A girl, a girl who was with me since the day I came here, a nameless girl, a girl whose original name was long forgotten, one year younger then me, my only partner in this gruesome place. We lived in a room, a dark, dark room, wearing old ragged clothes. There is no place to escape to.... I was adopted....no, I was sold, to repay debts. My daily job is to clean the whole mansion, each and every room, each and every toilet, everyday, and when the time comes, I head back to the basement room with her, in return, I get the right to live. The food we are given was depending on the leftovers from the people who stayed there, including the dog's. I shared the food with her, she never ate much, still, I always split a larger portion for her. She occasionally smiles when she gets to eat some chicken, which motivates me to give her all of mine, her happiness was mine. There was nothing else that contributes to anything more. I do not know her name, I have no purpose to know her name, since, every time I spoke, I spoke to her. There was no one else to speak to, I never spoke to the person who orders me, I was told to be silence forever and just do what I was ordered to do. Even if I suffered by overworking, being shout at, being punched or kicked by that man. I never complained, I mustn't complain.... I have no right to complain.... Not in front of her...... because every night, there was screams of pain, cry and despair at the room beside. Shouts that sends spikes to my heart, cries that made my tears drop. Even if they do not came from me, I felt it, I felt her emotions, her suffering is incomparable to mine. It lasts around an hour, sometimes two or three, sometimes until dawn. There were laughs from men, sometimes two of them, sometimes even four or five. When the door is finally opened and she returns, she was always in tears, but she always smiled when she saw me. I held out my hand to welcome her back.....from her....daily routine. Every night after she came back, she slept in my arms, fully exhausted, all I can do was to give her warmth and wish her a good dream. We talked about the world outside, I was the one who told her how blue the sky was, how people wear their clothes, how they ate. Because, I was the only one who has access to go up from the basement, I could look out the window from the mansion rooms when nobody is looking. She, on the other hand, never left the basement. She loved my stories, every night she would await me to tell her about today's sneak peak at the window, today, I told her about how the sky color changes, how the birds flock together around the trees outside. However, her smile today, did not last long. The door is opened, she shivered in my arms as she heard the door sound. A man came in and took her away from me, I saw two other stranger men outside the door waiting, both of them smirking, I didn't retaliate.....I felt her warmth vanish between my arms slowly..... Minutes later, her cries filled my ears from the room beside half an hour later, scream of pain is heard, Today, was different It wasn't from her voice The door opened, she was there, this time, it wasn't me whose hand is outstretched to welcome her back. It is her... whose left hand held out to get me. She was naked, covered in blood, yet she looked happy and uninjured. Her right hand holding a blood stained knife, she smiled and said. "Shin-onichan, lets run away......ne?" We ran, we ran into the forest, hide ourselves in a abandoned hut. I gave her my clothes, we cuddled together to keep warm at night. The next morning, we continued to run, we were spotted by a man in white suit, taken to the hospital and given care. We slept in the comfy bed for the whole day and given proper food, she cried and cried, saying about how good the food was, and this was so much better then sleeping on the floor. When we finally woke up after our first night in the ward, it was evening, the sun just went down, the sky was crimson in color. She stared out the window, we enjoyed the sunset peacefully for the first time in our lives. When the sky turned dark, she said "Ne....Onichan......the sky....is beautiful......I want my name to be that" It was then I realized she never had something simple like a name to be called to, I regretted, I regretted that it wasn't me who saved her, I hugged her and promised her. Promised that I will protect her forever and never make her sad again. After a year, we found out that the owner of the mansion was the UKAF president, Unos von Hannelore, the German tyrant of the robot industry. The recent booming in their shares have made him even more powerful and influential. Apparently, he wasn't killed back then.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "what we wanted............." ".........ne? Onichan" Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 Spoiler: Her smile vanished, her usual energetic tone was gone. She looked seriously at me expecting an answer. Sora was serious, she wanted to use Mika as a tool for revenge. "Sora...what are you thinking, that is too dangerous..." I tried to convince Sora out of this. "Oni-chan, don't tell Sora, you've never thought of it?" Sora stared right into my eyes and said. "............................" "Sora ne, Sora have always thought about it, every night, thinking about that man, continuing living with luxury even though he did that to us...." Her head held down, her shoulders tremble while she reminded herself about the past. "But...because of that, using Mika for that would be..." "Oni-chan, thats wrong, Sora ne, Sora would still kill that man with Sora's own hand even without this Mika." She said while looking at her left hand. Wha- What is she talking about, she cant seriously want to seek revenge with what we previously got, even with this robot maid, we are still unaware about her abilities and functions. Besides, hearing Sora herself speak the words "kill" sends shiver to the back of my neck. I don't want this...Yes, I wished I could have never get involve with anything related to my past. I don't want my sister to become a cold blooded murderer, I just want us to live a normal life, I just want to protect Sora and never make her sad anymore. But, She wanted revenge. How deep was her hatred, I could not know, but one thing that was certain, her suffering did not end even after all these years. That fact that the man continued to be alive torment her, she could not stand it... The room was silence, the atmosphere was heavy, I could not find any words to reply, Sora held her head low, staring right at the ground not looking at me as if to avoid my glare. *Grrooowwwllll* Wha- that wasn't me so... I crouched down and looked at Sora, she was blushing. We haven't ate anything since we came back and it's past dinner time. "Sora, you hungry?" I asked She nod silently, somehow the atmosphere of the room got a little lighter because of that. I guess I'll have to- "Shin-sama, may I use the kitchen?" "Whoaa!" Suddenly, Mika was standing right in front of me asking for permission to....what? "Why do you want to use the kitchen?" I asked automatically, surely she was a weapon, is she going to blow up the kitchen? "To cook for Shin-sama and Sora-sama of course, it is my job as a maid since my masters are hungry and lack energy for the next upcoming event." Mika said with a pale face staring straight at me. Event? what? Gah...somehow I felt embarrassed and looked sideways to avoid her stare. "I..I thought you were a weapon? can a weapon cook human food?? You're not going to create some explosives are you?" "How impolite, I am after all a weapon disguised as a maid, I must have certain functions as a maid." Wha..what did she say? Uh...whatever, she probably meant she could cook human food after all. "Fine, permission granted, there are some stuff in the fridge, use what you want." "Hai, understood Shin-saaaaaaaaaaaa-" She fell down face first on the floor while trying to head to the kitchen, it seems that her plugged in external cable was too short and streching it resulted in her losing balance. "Hahaha, thats soooo cutee ne! Mika-chan! Hahahahaaa!! Just like a event in an anime!" Sora laughed while hugging her tummy. The serious Sora just minutes ago vanished instantly without a trace. I got up and picked up the extention cable from the store room and re-plug Mika's external cable. Her distance to walk should now be stretched to the kitchen. Mika slowly picked herself up, tidy up her long maid skirt and apron, then head to the kitchen quietly as if nothing happened. I would have sworn she was embarrassed and kept quiet because of her clumsiness. Even though I gave her the permission to cook, the uncertainty within me still lingers. I walked towards Mika to check on her, making sure she was not mixing some unknown chemicals together to cause a headline news tomorrow of food poisoning for two individuals. It seems that she was clearly analyzing the types of food present in the fridge, matching combinations of recipes in her database to come up with a suitable choice. She first took out some chicken and began to unfrozen it, while waiting she slowly chopped some carrots and potatoes. Her skills with the knife was pretty good, the cubes that were chopped were evenly matched and same in size. I have no doubt that she would be able to cook a proper meal already. I head back to the living room, careful not to trip over Mika's external cable wire, and sat down beside Sora. "HAHAHAHAAAA..." Sora laughed loudly at the stand up comedy show on the television, she was lying down sideways with her right hand supporting her head and her left holding the television remote. This was her usual strategy of monopolizing the remote control so I don't get to change the channel to watch the shows I wanted. There was a nice fragrance of chicken being cooked from the kitchen. "Ne ne! Oni-chan, this is the best yo!! We have a free maid to do all our chores!! How lucky we are, I'm starting to believe in GOD~~ Yahoo!! Thank you god...thank you.." Sora was clearly enjoying the time as she does not need to help out in the cooking, she clapped her hands together and started her praying to thank god. With a high tech chef with tens of thousands, no maybe millions of recipes in her database, I wonder what cuisine can she cook, she must have chosen the best, the more delicious choice that topped all of the other recipes to satisfy her masters. Roast chicken....maybe? Chicken chop....maybe? Herbal Chicken soup ....maybe? Buddha Jumping over the wall...maybe?? Oh ho ho ho.... Ah~ I can't wait... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Curry." Mika said while placing two plates of curry rice on the dining table in front of me and Sora. "................................." "................................." There was a moment of silence on the dining table. The previous sound of me and Sora banging the table with our forks and spoons was killed instantly with the declaration of the cuisine name. Mika stood beside us watching us intendedly with an emotionless face, as usual. "Mika-chan..." the disappointed Sora broke the silence. "ACHA CHA Chaa~~~~ No Sora, no, let me bear the sins." I interrupted her by my voice and my right hand raised to grab her attention. I slowly place my left hand's index and middle finger towards my forehead. This require some serious analysis. Yes, why did a maid robot with tons of recipe in her database made curry, the simplest and easiest daily cuisine next to cup noodles. "Why, my maid robot, why curry?" I questioned Mika directly to obtain the answer. "Because it's easy." Mika said as it was a matter of fact. "........................" "Itadakimasu.......Mmm! Oni-chan! This is good~!" Sora said while stuffing herself before me. It's true, even with the simple ingredients, Mika could make something simple like curry taste better then usual. The chicken was tender and well cooked, the potatoes and rice were just the right too. She must have been very good in calculating the time needed for the food to be cooked. After the meal, Mika spoke up suddenly. "Now that Shin-sama and Sora-sama is fully replenished with their daily energy souce, can the evacuation be initiated?" Mika said with a slight bow. "Huh? What evacuation? Are we going somewhere?" I asked half heartedly with my back laid against the chair, I was thinking of snatching the remote later from Sora so I can watch my favorite late night anime. "There is 200 soldier personnels and 1 mobile armored vehicle near the apartment block and starting to organize themselves to surround the area, it is wise for Shin-sama and Sora-sama to evaquate from the balcony before they are fully situated to avoid trouble." Ahh... How many things have shocked me today, how much life span have I lost today I wonder. I quickly peeked out the window, looking down from the second floor, there is no doubt, I saw a large company of light armored soldiers and one large mecha near the apartment block. Did they found out? From the previous police that came by? No, if not they would have came to this door directly. Are they are going to surround the place and barge into the resident's flat to check? I saw one soldier holding a large glowing sign at a roadblock to fend off passerby and tell them to leave the area, that sign was normally used when times of terrorist attacks. "O-Oni-chan......." Sora was worried. "Mika! Why didn't you tell us sooner? You must have known this earlier?!" I lost my cool and shouted at Mika. "But Sora-sama and Shin-sama was hungry the time I detected their presence in my radar. I needed to provide energy source to my masters to be able to escape with a higher efficient and survival rate." Damn this robot, does she not know how to prioritize stuff? "Oni-chan...sorry..ne, its Sora's fault.." Sora said while holding on the my sleeve. "Its okay Sora, it isn't and that isn't important right now." "Shin-sama, as of now, they have not scanned my presence in this flat yet, therefore not yet identify that you both are involved, it is advised that you and Sora-sama should evacuate through the balcony." "But this is the 2nd floor! What do you want us to do? Jump off?" I questioned her, I was getting anxious, I need to get out of this trouble quick. "Yes, if you and Sora-sama jump of while adjusting your falling angle on 20 degrees from south, you shall be able to land in the bush with minimum harm." Said Mika while pointing towards the balcony. "What?? Don't you think we are not robots and we can not calculate on our minds the angle on where we are falling??" "There is no problem, even if you and Sora-sama were to jump off blindly, there is 90% chance of both of you to be landed safely into the bush, 10% chance of landing against the concrete wall behind the bush, and within that 10%, only 5% of it you may die by crashing head first to the concrete wall. With a possibility of 99.5% of surviving, it is wise for you both to evaquate through the balcony." Mika said rapidly yet understandable enough. She then hand me a small transmitter, two times smaller them my palm, it was for her to relocate us after our escape. "How about you?? Aren't you not running?" Even though I just met her, I was concern, I wasn't fine about leaving her here getting caught in by the soldiers, not when they are fully armed like that and treating her like a terrorist. "If I do that, the high energy generated by my running movements will be detected easily by the sensors, Shin-sama and Sora-sama would then not be safe. As of now, there is still a 100% escape rate of you running away within 15 seconds, the soldiers will need another 1 minute 22 seconds to fully surround the area, it may be wise to evacuate the area using the balcony right now." Wha- "Oni-chan!! Quickly!!" There was no time to lose, this damn robot expected us to run away right now. I picked up Sora with my right hand on her back and left hand on her legs. Jump or not, hurt or not, I was not going to let Sora get hurt in anyway from the balcony jump. I was going to protect her and let myself be the cushion for her landing by jumping off while holding her. I kicked the nearby chair towards the balcony and stood on it to be high enough over the safety fence. I jumped over the fence, prayed to god, Allah and Buddha at the same time in 0.5 seconds. A loud force attacked my senses, I crashed on the bush, fortunately, I felt no significant injury other then my butt hurt, Sora, on the other hand was fully unhurt. She stood up immediately and said. "Oni-chan! Thats so cooooool! Sora never seen Oni-chan do something so brave before for Sora, waah~ Sora is touched
