Aiko: Why again... a new story?

Sakuchii: Mehee... (sweat drop) well I decided to work on this since it's been in my head for a while already. So I wanted to post this before starting to concentrate on Rage Of The Battlefield.

Yukiko: I wonder when you start to concentrate on those stories you haven't updated for months or to say since last year. (eerie aura)

Sakuchii: I'll do that, I'LL DO IT! And to say, this is my last OC-project story and multichapter I'm starting this year.

Aiko: I hope that you are able to keep your promise...

Sakuchii: Okay okay! Let's finally go to the story! Anyway, I don't own anything but the stupid plot; got inspired by a russian film going by the same name. Hope that you will see the after note too! :) Enjoy the prologue chapter.

Where Do The Kids Come From?
Child Zero: About Children

Children are probably the most interesting creatures to watch from the sides. They are born small and innocent unable to take care of themselves, they need someone older to take care of them. If a child is abandoned after his birth, he will die unless someone is there to take care of him. After all they can only drink mothers milk or it's substitute for the first four months of their live.

What makes children so interesting, is that they slowly start to grow more independent step by step. You can see little teeth growing in the mouth of five months old baby and most likely the child of seven months will already be able to stand up on his own foot while holding up to something. Most of the children take their first independent steps around their first birthday.

After that they only start to surprise you how intelligent - and sometimes stupid - they actually are. It doesn't take long for them to start slowly saying words after their first birthday and soon you realize that he's actually speaking whole sentences. They soon stop to drink mothers breast and in no time the diapers are changed to normal underwear; the no longer wet their pants so often.

The more your child grows, the more you realize how much he still needs you. Whenever something happens he will call for mother; he cannot make food own his own. The child knows, if something was to happen to him, he can always rely on his mother who will comfort him and do something about the bad feeling. The pain will surely go away if mother kisses the wound.

But what if this mother was suddenly to disappear? What if she was no where to be seen anymore? Every child is different; they are influenced by their parents and the environment they have grown in. Every child has things he likes and dislikes; foods he loves to eat and doesn't want to touch; plays he likes to play, things he likes to do. But one thing is the same for every child; they rely on the most on the person who they see as they caretaker; a 'mother'.

So what if this 'mother' was to suddenly disappear from the child's life? How could he survive on his own? A large organization suddenly had a great amount of orphan children. Without knowing what to do with these parentless children they decided to look for suitable 'parents' for these children. Strangely enough, they were all high school male students.

A strange cascade was to happen and suddenly 30 high school aged boys around the world found a young child sleeping before his front door with a strange message dedicated to them. Not only they needed to take care of the child, they also needed to find suitable mother - as his other part - for the child; who would recognize her immediately and call her "mother." When this all was done, all the 30 families should meet each with each other.

There was only one condition: No one should know that you have "Arbutus" child.

And so the task of these young men starts. How are they able to take care of the daily tasks of these children who are suddenly brought to a total stranger and have still not understood that they won't see their parents ever again? And how are these closed boys able to find a suitable mother for their children?

This was written here to call for you; young women. If someone were told to you to become a strangers mother while you don't even have your own children, would you take the task? That is up to you decide. I have called for you, young peers, it's up to you to answer to my call.

Where Do The Kids Come From?

Sakuchii: Not a really flashy start, I have to say... But I thank you guys for reading it. So anyway, I have decided to accept OC's to this story. But this time there is a limit on how much OC's I am accepting. On and one NOTE!

When speaking of 'mother' I put it quotation marks since we all know and that not all children actually live with their mother... but still they need a caretaker and for some that can be their father, aunt, grandparent godparents ect. All children need and have a guardian on who they rely the most. :)

Aiko: Hai hai! Our stupid writer is in need of Twe-

Yukiko: Ah, let me interrupt for a moment! We forgot to mention that this story takes place when IE characters are in high school... as for the children? Well I assume you should have already realize them... Anyway this is AU and the time difference between our two generation is bigger than in the anime. Now my dear sister continue!

Aiko: Thank you Yukiko. So our stupid writer needs 20 younger OC's to be paired up with IE guys! And also she's in need for 5 adult OC's... for her own reasons! :)

Sakuchii: And just like in ROB we have three ways to enter your OC into this story. And no reservations for crushes, it's first come first serve, gomen.

APPLICATION FORM IS DELETED: NO MORE OC'S ACCEPTED!

Yukiko: And well to say, the form is still under work but our writer promised to complete it this night, so hopefully she is able to sent them to you by tomorrow.

Aiko: And now she shall concentrate on the form and ROB! Till the next chapter! ~ deshii
