Confusion Can Lead to Distraction

--Well, here a shot at a slightly altered Megaman Cartoon Universe fanfic. I say altered because I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up mixing a couple of game-orientated things into this that they didn't have in the show ie/ The ability to remove their armor (although, I think that's more MMX isn't it? ) as well as anything else that I throw in. Hope you don't mind.

--!!!BIG WARNING!!!! This will turn out to be yaoi/shonen-ai. So, if you don't like this or have a problem with Megaman and Protoman being in love with each other, then please don't read the fic. If you do and then flame me, it's your own stupidity cuz I warned you.All reviewers will be hugged and thanked profusely. Thanks in advance.

-Thanks and recognition goes to my best friend and muse Sandriver for her basic concept for this story.

I also attribute this story to the MANY Blues/Forte, X/Zero pairings I've read recently, my favorites by the awesome and wonderful authoress duo known as Shibby&Gimp (as well as the stories they wrote solo). Read their stories if you haven't, they're great! Much kudos guys, keep them coming!

Now, with all that over with. Enjoy the story! I'm looking for reviews to tell me that the idea is good and you want more of this. So, remember to review!

Prologue 1

(Personal point of view) Not telling you who. You can figure it out.

I don't even know why I'm doing this. It's not only going against my programming but the Doc's orders as well. Not that I care what HE thinks. He can't order me around. I told him that before too. I'll obey him when I feel like it...

That's the difference between me and my brother. He listens to anyone...plays the hero because that old coot thought it would be a good idea. Not because my brother wanted to do it...but out of 'necessity'. Hmph! Necessity my ass. Light's no different from Wiley. They both want to prove themselves better then the other. Why did WE have to get involved, or more to the point, thrown in the middle of it? sigh Oh well, no real point thinking about it really. Wiley doesn't care, Light wouldn't listen to me and Mega...

Megaman...Rock...he only sees me as a bad guy...someone he has to fight and beat (but not destroy I guess) to complete his 'mission' of protecting everyone. But, why should I care what he thinks of me!? I shouldn't! He never cared about me... well, he did once. He told me that he did think of me as his brother. Even went as far as to say he wanted to be my brother... but... Damnit! That has nothing to do with it! He still doesn't care about ME, so I won't care about him either.

But...I do. No matter how many times I resign myself to hating him...try to treat him like all the other that get in the way of what I have to... what I'm TOLD to do, I...can't. Damn. I get confused just thinking about it, let alone trying to figure it out. So, I figured I'd just ask him about it. He WAS programmed to be more 'human' then I was. He'd have to understand what's going on inside the computer that is my brain. But, of course, no sooner did I get to Light's lab, I see him shooting off in the sky headed for the inner city. Off playing the 'good little hero' again, of course. So, I decided to wait. I knew it wasn't Wiley's doing since he hadn't called me to go and do it and he wasn't going to send the others...they didn't have the 'memory capacity' to carry out the Doc's 'carefully laid plans'.

So, I waited a good while before I got bored and decided to walk around, unseen of course, and I happened to look in the window just in time to see some official come on Light's main computer and tell him that Mega was missing! Missing? My brother doesn't go 'missing'. He kicks the metal ass of anyone he has to fight (myself included) and returns to the lab triumphant with that red mutt of his. If he was 'missing' there was something wrong. Light thought something similar to that and asked for the information to be confirmed. Several maps appeared and a quick look at them made me suspicious. The area of the battle had been too closed off. Why had Megaman rushed into such an obviously laid trap? If I could see it, he must have. I thought he was smarter then that? I came back to the conversation just in time to hear Light's results on his scan for the radio-transmitter that my brother had implanted in him. The scan came up negative.

I was about to leave to do my own investigation (because as I've said on countless occasions, NOBODY takes out my brother but ME!) when a bright flash from the room made me turn around again. Flashing on the screen was a message and my keen eyes read it quickly with no problem even at the distance I was.

"Dr.Light,

I have defeated and taken your Megaman. I do not plan on releasing him or giving you any information on why or how I accomplished this. Neither do I plan on telling you my identity or how to find either of us. My reasons are my own. The only thing you must understand and accept is that Megaman is now mine."

I heard Light's cry of dismay when he finished reading it out loud but I tuned it out. All I could think about was that someone had taken Megaman...had taken my brother. ...someone had had the audacity to take something that was mine. A strong raging emotion burning in me from somewhere I couldn't place as I turned away from the building and towards the city. Damn Wiley if he didn't like it...I was going to find my brother...my brother. And for the one that took him, there would be hell to pay.
