Chapter 1

The Graveyard

Young Minoru Kokubunji was holding a small bouquet of flowers as he and his persocom, Yuzuki, walked threw an empty graveyard. The young prodigy was going to visit his dear older sister's grave.

Though it had been over two years since his beloved sibling had passed, the pain he felt, and the void in his heart had only grown over time. To try to ease the pain, he built Yuzuki to look and act like Kaede, but only made him long for his Onee-san more.

The more fun he has with Yuzuki the sadder he became because deep down, no matter how hard he tried, no matter how much he wished, his sister was gone, and Yuzuki was just a computer.

"Minoru-san, I was curious if perhaps I should wait in the car to give you time to think." Yuzuki wondered aloud as she gave her young master a small and courteous smile.

"Perhaps that would be for the best." Minoru replied after taking a moment to consider her proposal. 'It would be nice to have a few minutes alone to remember.'

Yuzuki, hearing her master's answer, politely bowed and started in the opposite direction.

She knew that her master needed some time to collect his thoughts. She hadn't left his side for anything (A/N: except the bathroom of course! Dur!) for the past tree days.

After Chi and Hideki had solved the "Chobits" dilemma, he had been busy planning meetings and updating Yuzuki and his other four persocoms. He had also been considering giving them less skimpy outfits.

Minoru was walking a bit slower now. It was his sister's dieing day, and also the eve of Christmas, one of the most beloved holidays, and for him, the sadist day of his life.

His sister had just gone out to get some groceries. She took a cab, but it slipped on the ice on the road and skidded into a large street lamp.

Minoru did not have the heart to open the Christmas gifts that had been given to him. Without Kaede there, it seemed to be selfish. He took the presents that were for her and put them in her coffin to be buried with her, and locked his presents away in her sister's closet. He has planned to be buried with those presents. That was the last time he saw his sister's room.

Ever since then, poor Minoru had been in a constant state of mourning and depression.

He does have fun, but the fact that his sister left him still haunts his past, present, and also his future.

'2 years' Minoru thought. 'The longest and loneliest 2 years of my life. It was tonight that the only human in the world to ever truly care about me, was taken.'

Minoru continued walking until he reached his sister's grave. He looked down. He saw that the flowers that he had left last year, where still there and had dried to almost nothing. He decided to move them to the side of her marker, so they wouldn't be seen, but would still be there to honor her.

He placed the flowers neatly, knelt down, and started to prey. (AN: I'm not exactly religious, so I'll skip the prayer) Little did he know that someone was about to disturb his solitude.

A girl, who was Minoru's age, slowly came walking over the small hill on the left side of where Minoru had come. She came and knelt over the grave next to Kaede's. Minoru heard her foot steps, but pretended not to notice.

The girl looked down at the mirror-like grave marker embedded into the cold earth and snow. 'Time Kunasaki. Loving Son. Caring Brother. Great Friend. 2190-2193' the girl thought. 'I wonder If he remembers the song we wrote?' she questioned.

Well whether she remembered or not, she was going to sing it.

Time, where did you go?
Why did you leave me here alone?
Wait; don't go so fast
I'm missing the moments as they pass

The girl had completely forgotten that she was not the only one in the graveyard. Minoru had heard her singing and thought that it was wonderful.

'What a beautiful voice. She reminds me of a song my sister wrote.'

Now I've looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer
So wait for me this time

The girl had now lost her grip reality. She opened her eyes slightly and thought she saw her brother. He turned around, gave her a big smile, and in a flash of light was gone. She thought that she was in reality, but she was just in a dream.

Minoru had heard her voice beginning to hollow. He finished his prayer, and turned to see her swaying slightly, with one hand extended and one hand on the ground for support, with a dazed look in her eyes and small streams of tears running down her cheeks. 'Is she alright?' Minoru shifted he gaze from the girl, to where she was looking, but saw nothing.


I'm down I'm down on my knees I'm begging for all your sympathy
But you (I'm just an illusion) you don't seem to care (I wish that I could)
You humble people everywhere (I don't mean to hurt you)

She now looked faint. It was so cold outside that she was growing numb.

'Look at her! Her attire, though good-looking, is highly inappropriate for this time of year. A black skirt that goes a bit above her knees with a white frilly lace skirt under

the black skirt, and a navy blue long sleeve shirt with, for what ever reason, has a white hood. I suppose the fact that she's wearing a Shaw makes it better.'

Now I've looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer
I'll take what you give me. Please know that I'm learning
So wait for me this time

She was drifting off. The temperature around her was becoming over-whelming. She could barely stand it. But she pressed on.

I should've know better
I shouldn't have wasted those days
And afternoons and mornings
I threw them all away
Now this is my time
I'm going to make this moment mine.
(I shouldn't have wasted those days)
I'll take what you give me. Please know that I'm learning
I've looked in the mirror
My world's getting clearer
So wait for me this time

She finished her song and fainted. Minoru, who looked to be hypnotized, snapped back to reality and leaned over to the girl. He checked her pulse and made sure she was still breathing.

'I should call Yuzuki. It wouldn't be right to leave this girl her alone in the snow.'

Minoru pulled a small cell phone from his pocket, a called Yuzuki.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yuzuki was sitting in the car, wondering if his young master would be okay in this weather.

"This is Yuzuki, Minoru Kokubunji is not available to take your call, please leave a message." Yuzuki said in a dazed tone.

"Yuzuki, this is Minoru."

"Yes sir! What do you need?"

"I need you to come and help me. A girl has just passed out in the snow."

"Of coarse Minoru-san, I'm on my way." With that Yuzuki disconnected, and went to get her master, and the mystery girl.
