A/N: HoLa! Since people seem sorta picky about Chobits fics, I thought I'd just tell you guys that I've read the entire series and this is just fiction!! (XD Watch it suck anyway)I'm not quite sure why I would be writing this if it were exactly like the series, with CLAMP makin money off it and all...

...and I know the title makes no sense. XD That's why I like it.

See?? Now I've saved you the trouble of flaming! Yae!!

Ummm...this will inevitably have sexual references (It IS Chobits) and probably swearing. Maybe violence. Not sure yet. Sooo I dunno if the rating will change to R later, but whatever. Nyah.

Despite all that, ENJOY!!

Summary: Chi is beginning to hate the fact that she's a persocom because Hideki doesn't seem to love her. Minoru finds a possible way to make her human, but there's a high chance of death. Should she go through with it?

-Defective Imperfection-

Chapter One

Chi gazed longingly out the large window overlooking the city. Glancing down at the book cradled in her lap, she sighed. Chi stroked the cover, her luminous amber eyes filling with tears. A City With No People: A Warm Heart. She touched a hand to her left breast; where her heart was, or at least should be. She slowly opened the thin cover and began reading for the fourth time that afternoon.

"This city has no people...but the light burning in the homes is warm and bright. I am in a city with no people...but I am not sad or lonely. I am one of "them", but I still feel warm inside."

She choked back a sob, covering her face with her small hands. The book fell, closing on impact, back into her lap.

Upon hearing the noise, Plum gradually opened her wide violet eyes and gasped at the sight of Chi sitting in a lonely corning sobbing.

"Miss Chi!" She cried in a worried tone as she hopped off her perch on the kitchen table. "What is the matter? Plum has never seen Miss Chi shed a tear!"

Chi lifted her lovely head from her hands and looked at Plum with an expression of pure anguish. She clutched at her heart again, and squeezed her eyes shut.

"Chi is cold here! Chi is not warm! Chi is sad! The book said I should be happy!" She whimpered through her weeping.

Plum blinked. "Plum has never seen Miss Chi sad before. Why are you sad?"

"Because-Chi-is-not-Hideki's-special-someone!" She hiccupped. "Hideki has Yumi! He does not need Chi!"

"Plum thinks Master likes Chi!" She grinned and did a little jig. "Master likes all of us!"

Chi only sobbed harder. "But Chi loves Hideki!!! Hideki does not love Chi!"

"Let's exercise! Exercise helps everything!"

"Chi does not want to exercise."

Plum pouted a bit, before brightening up. "Why does not Miss Chi go to work? Make Master proud!"

"Chi does not feel like working."

"But if Miss Chi works, Master will be happy!"

Chi cocked her head cutely to the side and placed a finger to her lips. "Hideki will be happy?"

"Yes! The utmost happiness he will experience!" The bouncy persocom hopped happily onto Chi's knees.

Chi abruptly leapt up, not bothering to retrieve a flailing Plum and the book that clattered to the floor. She pumped her fist into the air and smiled. "If it will make Hideki happy, Chi will go to work today!"

Plum moaned from the floor and mumbled, "That's nice, Miss Chi." while sending her reproachful glances. Chi paid no heed and skipped cheerily to the door and opened it before turning and giggling. "Tell Hideki where I am should he come home!" She said, smiling.

And so she left, all traces of the despair she experienced only moments before, gone.

Wow. That was SO short. Sorry.
