Listen to the Rain
Chapter one
Sky blue eyes closed as the flash went off, something came down and hit the person's head, causing it to black out.
~*~
Albert sighed, they had been looking for a certain person since this morning and Gilmore wouldn't let them stop since he got word on another Black Ghost attack in Japan, this time near Mt.Hiei, in Kyoto.It even had Joe a bit scared, after all, he was from Japan, and had been hoping that Black Ghost wouldn't set an attack there.
"Who are we looking for anyway, you didn't tell us?"
Gilmore sighed, looking at the Germen.
"Her name is Sabrina."
"Another cyborg?"
"No."
"Then what is she?"
"She's my grandaughter, when she was around five, her father did DNA projects on her, he got cyborg DNA and cat DNA mixed up."
"So, she's like a cat?"
"Yes."
{What does she look like?}
Gilmore looked down at Ivan.
"Sky blue eyes and -"
"Close to ocean blue hair?"
The three looked over at Joe.
"She came to Priest's temple once, around the age of eleven."
He shrugged, Gilmore clicked his tounge.
"She's been alone in Kyoto since an accident, when I refused to help Black Ghost with another cyborg four years ago, he caused a crash in the area Sabrina lives in, though she was thown out of the car by her little sister, she was the only one who survived that crash, and I helped with 0018."
"0018?"
"You'll see.0018 is like her guardian, a cat cyborg, well, half cat, she was an unfinished project when I was forced to finish her.She had been frozen for fourty years since the age of fourteen."
{What is 0018's name?}
"They called her 'Kat' because of her golden lime green catish eyes, now she has a cat tail and cat ears.Well her real name is 'Kanna'.She's from China."
"What color hair?"
Chang asked, looking at the old man.
"Black with blue tint, it also had a firey red in it."
"Kage Kanna."
"What?"
"Kage was her first name, Kanna was her surname.She's my cousin."
"Hopefully she can cook better than you.The things that you stir up the reacipe for are pretty hard to swallow."
G.B. grinned poking Chang.Francoise smiled.Juniour sighed, Jet growled.Pyunma hadn't come deciding to stay with their ship.
"God knows what's up there."
Jet grinned looking up at the Mountain.
"It's a Valcan-"
The others were forced to cover their eyes as a flash went off, a dark figure made it's way out of the tree, another figure in it's arms.
"KANNA."
Chang yelled, waving, the cyborg turned towards them, a smile on her face, she ran over.
"You guys need to get out of here, Black Ghost will kill any-"
"No, you will come with us."
Chang cut her off, grabbing her hand just as another bomb went off, Ivan and the other figure let out a yelp as the entire group was thrown to the ground.
Sabina's eyes slit as she crawled around the rubble to get to the old man and child.
"Are you ok?"
"Fine Gramps."
She smiled, taking Ivan as he squirmed, her k-nines poking small holes into her bottem lip.
~*~
Albert watched from a crack between the door and the frame as Sabrina tryed to get Ivan to go back to sleep, he refused to, even though he did need it.
{I don't wanna, those images are gonna haunt me!}
Sabrina rolled her eyes, pushing a strand of blue hair away from her face.
"Tell ya what, since I'm gonna be sleeping in Francoise's room until we can get a spare cleaned out, you can sleep in her room with me,ok?"
Most of them had already gone to bed, Sabrina was in the living room.
{Alright....}
"Goo- Ah."
Her eyes widened as she spun around, though facing the door she hadn't seen the grey haired man, instead the small spider like cyborg on the wall was what she was more worried about.She backed up, Ivan clutched to her cheast.
"Last waning, come back to Black Ghost, both you and 0018."
The thing hissed.Ivan's eyes glew, showing through his hair as the cyborg exploded.Albert threw the door open at the ehcoing boom.
"You ok?"
"Yeah."
She whispered, closing her eyes.
"001?"
{Fine.}
The older man looked at the two of them, Sabrina was shaking slightly and looked paler than usual.
"You sure?"
She nodded, falling forward before she could say anything else, her face thumping into his stomach as he stepped infront of her.
"Your that easily scared?"
She tryed to say something, but the small dart in her neck caught his eye before he could.
"Why are they after you?"
He asked, looking at the puncture it left.
"It's because I'm the only one who knows how to release it."
"R-release what?"
Her breathing slowed, as well as Ivan's, meaning he wasn't going to get an answer.
"Your to small to be fifteen."
He smiled, picking her up and carrying her to Francoise's room.
~*~
Gilmore smiled, the dart had been a tranquilizer, but she was up and around now, and Ivan had only slept as long as she had.
"So, what did you mean by 'I'm the only one who knows how to release it'?"
Albert asked, crossing his arms and leaning against the wall.
"Megana."
"What?"
Jet asked, looking down at her.Sabrina bit her lip.
"Megana, it's a cyborg that only someone born with weak brainwaves can awaken, and, accroding to what I read, it has to be someone around the age of fifteen, and had to be born in the year of the dragon can release, I just happen to be the only one."
"Megana, isn't she a goddess or something?"
"I'm not sure, but she was caught before Scral and frozen, she was titled prototype 000, a.k.a 'Elf'."
"Ah, 000, she's a fighter, that's for sure, frozen for so many years and then turned into a cyborg, though she still looks the same."
Gilmore smiled, watching as his only living decendent set a device on the table, pressing a button a small hologram appeared, showing a young woman with blue eyes, blonde hair, a blue head band, elf ears, and a pair of wings.
"Wow."
Francoise whispered, looking over the hologram just before it shut down.
"Stupid thing."
Sabrina muttered, taking the plate like device and putting it in her bag.
{What are her powers?}
"She's able to turn cyborgs back into humans, replacing metal and fake skin with flesh and bone in a matter of seconds."
Gilmore said with sigh.
"Move it or lose it pal."
Sabrina growled out, Jet's arm automaticly went back to his side.
"What a minute, you said year of the dragon, that would make you at least fourteen."
"I turned fifteen last month."
Sabrina said, blinking at Joe.
"Oh."
"What happenes when you're turned back into a human?"
Sabrina looked at Francoise.
"If your wondering if your powers as a cyborg will stay, yes."
~*~
Sabrina sighed, opening her diary and scanning the last entry.
'Sabrina, the name doesn't suit me, I'm a Gilmore, and was taught how to control the elements earth, water, fire, wind, and ice, not something I'm proud of, I've had a weak brainwave pattern since birth and was kidnaped by Scral when I turned thriteen, and escaped when I found what he wanted me for, I have Kage for a guardian, she loyal, and does what she was programed for, though she'll talk about her past at times, how her life in China was until Scral got her.
I've got blue hair by birth, as well as telapathy and strong ESP, I came across Joe Shimamura when I was eleven, he was staying with a Priest, though, Scral killed the Priest, like he killed my parents, he framed Joe, all part of his plan, even when Joe got away from the police.'
She picked up a pen, the four days she had been out Joe and Juniour had cleaned out a room for her.
'I still belive in that, too.
I'm back with my grandfather, and guess what, Joe's here!He's the same boy I remember, though he's no longer fully human, though seems the same as any other eighteen year old.
Heres the people I'm with now;
Ivan/001- A cutie, of couse, all babies are, he has telapathy, like me, he's got blueish grey hair, which is very weird, he's probally the oldest zero zero cyborg, not counting 000.
Jet/002- I think the two of us got off on the wrong foot, though an American, Jet can be nice from time to time.
Francoise/003- She's almost like an older sister, there is a bond here, almost like Joe and my 'brother-sister-love' thing, but not like a bond I had with my little sister.She knows what I'm going though, mostly, what she doesn't understand Kage does.
Albert/004- Really nice guy here, if I were to compair our pasts, we've both lost loved ones, and we've both been tested on, as well as having near death expairences. I guess you could say I like him.He's got grey hair and blueish silver eyes.
G. Juniour/005- Big guy, and when I say big I mean BIG, he's tall and wide, though not the same 'wide' as Chang, it's more bone and muscle then fat.
Chang/006- Kage's cousin, great cook, though there's no realtion, he's pretty nice.
G.B./007- A gentelman to say the lest, a bit to much of one, you'd think he'd know that charm will get ya nowhere with someone who grew up on the streets, though I did stay with Joe until I learned not to try and sneek into places.
Pyunma/008- A former freedom fighter, he's nice, and reminds me alot of how Joe was before he turned fifteen.
Joe/009- He's changed alot, though he's still got the same troubled red eyes, and he treats me the same way he always had, I've heard his story straight from him, and he's alot more athletic than he use to be, I used to have to threaten him to get him to on a run through the woods before.
You should have seen the look on his face when he found out that my hair turned brown in winter and fall, as well as half of spring.
There's a bit more between us than sibling love, though it's not love as in crushes and stuff.He feels for Francoise.'
She smiled, closing her diary and sitting up as the door opened.
"Hey, it ok if I come in?"
She smiled, nodding a yes as the boy closed the door behind him.
"You never did tell me, how do you feel around here, with the cyborgs, I mean?"
She smiled, leaning against him.
"Joe, I feel at home, my mother would often work on her own cyborgs, I guess she wanted to follow gramp's foot steps, and, like I told you, grandmother died giving birth."
He rubbed one of her cat ears as they slid to the top of her head.
"You chose your own path don't let anyone control you, that's what you had said to me when I was running from the police.Why was that?"
He asked, eyeing her diary as she started to doze off.
"Scral set you up."
Her last word from that sentence was mummered as she fell asleep, her ears twitching as well as her tail.
"You need to start putting locks on your stuff, Sabbie."
He said, opening it and scanning the new entry.
"You, Ivan and Albert would make something close to a family, but you got it wrong, I'm not sure what I feel for Francoise, but I know she feels friendship and a bit more towards me."
He closed it, pulling the blanket over the cat girl and kissing her forehead lightly before walking out.
