"Ikkun... ikkun... ikkun..."
A girl dressed in the 'Alice in wonderland' with a mechanical rabbit ears on her head sounded anxiously knowing that the close person of hers getting kidnapped by a mysterious organization.
She typed with her fastest pace on over 8 keyboard, and in front of her 16-screen appears displaying a complex numbers.
She is none other than the self-proclaimed-genius Shinonono Tabane, and now she was in a very tense situation because only man she adored was kidnapped and it was nearly two hours anyone not knowing about him whereabouts.
she continued to typed on her virtual keyboard, screen-by-screen shifted. Trying to hack the security system around the world only to find one child.
[Tabane, how?]
A communication screen appears. Shows a woman's face with black hair who is also made a troubled expression like hers.
"Mou... Chi-chan... I wasn't be able to detect ikkun's presence..." Tabane replied her best friend with frustration.
[Well, if there is a news, tell me Tabane, I and the German army also looking for him manually.]
*Click*
After that, video call from Orimura Chifuyu disconnected.
Tabane continue to concentrate on the 16 screens that appear in front of her. in her mind, she mentally made a note that she should find Ichika or die now!
"Ikkun... Ikkun... Ikkun..."
Tabane call her favorite nicknames for Ichika repeatedly. She remembers the event in 6 years ago, before the white knight incident occurred.
[Flash back]
"*sob*...*sob*...*sob*..." the young Shinonono Tabane crying behind Shinonono's shrine.
She has just completed a meeting of her new invention. IS shorts from 'infinite stratos' her unlimited potential technology. But, unfortunately. the older scientists rejecting her and even berating Tabane and her invention.
For Tabane, there is nothing more cruel than insult her invention that she had made over the years with all of her hard work.
"Aree... Tabane-neechan..."
Tabane gasped and immediately wipe tears from her eyes when she heard a familiar voice calling her.
"Ichika-kun?" Tabane impose her fake smile and stared at her best friend's little brother, Orimura Ichika.
Ichika approached Tabane who sat crouching and realized that her eyes swelling from crying.
"Tabane-oneechan? Why are you crying?"
Tabane who never thought Ichika could sense that only surprised. she didn't think Ichika will be very sensitive to that sort of thing for a child in his age.
"Uh... what are Ichika-kun's talking about? Onee-chan didn't cry, see... onee-chan smiling." Tabane imposing her fake smile once again.
This time Ichika narrowed his eyes.
"Nee-chan... don't lie!"
Tabane surprised because calm boys like Ichika suddenly snapped hers.
"i hate a liar... Tabane-nee... if you want cries. Just cry. It is not good to hold your emotions because it will feel pain in the chest. And i told you... you can toying me with that fake emotions. I'm the other one who now that besides Chifuyu-nee"
Once again Tabane surprised not think Ichika would say such a thing. Tabane looked on Ichika's eyes that softened. a deep concern in his eyes.
"is Ichika-kun? Worried me?"
Tabane tought in silent.
A few seconds until tears drop from Tabane's Eyes. And then she took off all her true emotion in the liver. she cried loudly in front of Ichika.
Seeing Ichika immediately embraced Tabane crying figure, he considering what Chifuyu usually did when he cried. He quickly took the situation himself..
And of course with reflex, Tabane hugged Ichika back, the girl continued to cry and buried her face in Ichika shoulder. Until makes Ichika's shirt and pants wet.
"Ssshhh... Tabane-nee... don't worry... I will be here for Tabane-nee." Ichika say the same thing when his sister tried to calm him when he cries. His voice fill with deep concerned.
"Ikkun... Ikkun... Ikkun... " Tabane sobbed on Ichika's shoulder, she hugged the boy harder.
Ichika little confused by the sudden tight hug and Tabane's nickname for him. But young Orimura let her, because he thought Tabane now need someone for get out all of her sadness.
After an hour of crying and Tabane blindly make Ichika's shirt and pants wet with tears (AN : wow! That's insane. I didn't want having girlfriend like that).
Tabane finally stopped crying.
Seeing Tabane calming, Ichika ventured to ask.
"Tabane-nee, why are you crying?"
Tabane first reluctant to tell, but she tried to trust ichika, and eventually she tell him everything.
Beginning with its invention IS and the other thing until that she getting a while ago.
"Sugoi...?"
Those are words that Ichika's say after Tabane completing the story that took nearly three hours, and make the sun already set.
Tabane who does not expect to hear the reaction just blinked. Inside her mind, she underestimated Ichika with the thought 'you know what? You're just a little boy who does not know anything!' before.
But, the next Ichika's words make Tabane even more shocked.
"If IS is that great thing and has unlimited potential, very regrettable if only in use for astronomy, right? Hmmm... *thinking* It should. It's more appropriate as it used as a defensive weapon or battling weapons... but, i hate when people fight against each other... ah... tool in sports! It's seem very good. Oh, maybe IS will be an event by world biggest sport. But, if I remember the story about the adults that mock my tabane-nee. Looks like we have to make some sort of show that make them realizing that fault..."
Ichika interrupted when chifuyu's voice echoed searching for him.
"Ichika... Ichika... where are you?"
"Uh... uh... Tabane-nee... chifuyu-neesan looking for me, I should there or she will punish me with hellish training in day. ah, that not the worst... i think she will tied me in dojo then she make me a sand sack."
Ichika make an idiot expression, but after that he smiled and patted Tabane's head who still blank because shocked with Ichika's words.
"I go first tabane-nee... if you need someone to talk on, I always have much time to you..."
Ichika then moved toward Chifuyu. Leaving Tabane who still staring at Ichika with a disbelief and still in blank state.
After a few steps Ichika immediately turned around and faced Tabane.
"Oh yes... Tabane-nee, I have an idea... what if you showed the world about the superiority of IS with big object like a rocket or something. Isn't that cool? Jaa~nee~... Tabane-neechan."
Ichika smiled and waved to Tabane.
"I hope you succeed..."
Ichika immediately turned toward his sister.
"Chifuyu-nee... I'm here!"
"Ichika? Where have you been? Why are your clothes wet?" Chifuyu annoyed voice sounded creepy.
"Chifuyu-nee sorry, I fell in the pool... Ow-thats hurt..." Ichika's cries sounded after he disappeared in shrine's intersection.
Tabane still silent trying to process the events she had just experienced...
...
5 second passed
...
10 second passed
...
A few seconds later...
"Ikkun..." T mumbled and her eyes widened.
After that, a picture of her heart pierced by an arrow appeared out of nowhere, the next thing that happens is, Tabane rolling around on the ground with her face flushed.
"Ikkun... Ikkun... Ikkun..." Tabane continue to roll around on the ground. Not far from her, little Houki who finish her kendo training sweat dropped watching her sister behavior.
And a few days later, Tabane hacked the system security around the world and launching 2341 missiles towards japan. Then Chifuyu use the #001 core number for neutralizing all missiles.
And people around the world known that event as the 'white knight incident'.
[End of flash back]
"Ah..."
Tabane sigh after 3 hours of staring at a 16 virtual screen. One screen showed presence of Orimura Ichika.
Then with incredible speed, Tabane manipulate the 4 keyboard and glued to the screen.
"The next just send this to chi-chan..." Tabane said with sparkling eyes.
[Few hours later]
"Ikkun... are you all right?" Tabane that breaks through the high-level security of hospital that treat Ichika, immediately crashing and tearfully hugged Ichika.
"Ugh... tabane-nee... it's crush meeee..." Ichika struggling because Tabane bone crusher hug.
"What are you doing stupid!"
*WHACK*
Chifuyu who on their side immediately hit Tabane's head very hard.
"Uh... chi-chan is so meaaan..." Tabane immediately release Ichika, soon stroking her arms on her pained head.
Seeing the two women in front of him, Ichika could not hold his laughter.
"Hahahaha... Chifuyu-nee... Tabane-nee... you like comedy actress... hahahaha"
See Ichika laughed in ease Tabane and Chifuyu could only smile with relief, seeing condition of the person precious to them does nothing.
«Two weeks later»
Ichika tucked in front of his PC. he set up the tracking radar to find someone he wants to meet this time.
Two weeks have passed since his abduction cases. and Ichika knows that his sister got a much problem because him:
First : she has been disqualification from the 'second mondo grosso' tournament, that she actually can win with easy.
Second : her rights as a Japanese representative revoked for leaving the arena with a IS unit without permission, and it's because trying to save him from kidnapping.
Third : Chifuyu must become coach for german specially defense organizations of IS user for one year, and thinking about it, ichika make her sister must live in military unit and can think about it. Chifuyu even though it didn't think about it. Ichika still feel guilty.
Chifuyu already left for Germany a week ago, and every two or three days, Chifuyu just phoned to check on him.
On the other hand, Tabane always call him every 9 PM, and this is something he waited for long.
He is waiting for Tabane's call and trying to track down her place.
*ring**ring**ring*
Ichika mobile phone that connected to a PC rang and Ichika immediately activate the application on his laptop.
Ichika pressing the 'loud speaker' on his phone and start talking with Tabane.
[Ikkun... how are you? Have you eaten? Have you had a bath? Do you always sleep all day? Nee, ikkun answered my question? whether you tub right? Are you want my first time?]
Ichika sweat dropped hear Tabane's waves of question that he couldn't have answered at once.
"Nee, tabane-nee? Which I touched first in charge?... and, what do you mean for last part!" Ichika asked with a deadpan tone. On the other hand his eyes and hands moving in laptop screen and keyboard to find the Tabane's location.
[Hehehe... if so, it seem ikkun is fine. then, ikkun? Are you lonely without-]
"ahh... very close." Ichika surprised to find the place where Tabane is and interrupted the mad scientist word at once.
[What do you mean, ikkun?]
"Ehehe... nothing. I'm just looking for a place." Said Ichika bluntly.
[mou... are you looking for a date place? are you tried to ask me on secret date?]
"Uh uh... i've used tabane-nee... we continue tomorrow..."
[Ikkun... Ikkun... wait...!] before Tabane finish her speech, telephone connection disconnected.
Ichika immediately print maps for tabane's place map and address.
"Yes, see you tomorrow, tabane-nee..." Ichika staring at the paper in his hand carefully.
At 12 AM, Ichika sneak out from his house carrying a backpack. He wanted to find Tabane now to realize his desire. In the last, ichika seta a cameras over the house. He read it on internet. so he used chifuyu camera's who lied in her store roomwithout permission.
Ichika headed towards the mountains on the border of the city, to basement of Shinonono Tabane and preparing a surprise for the mad scientist. He swung his bike pedal with all strength.
Hope be in Tabane's place before the sun rising.
Meanwhile – Shinonono Tabane Base
*Tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut *
Shinonono Tabane become pale and limp after Ichika decided to call up.
"Ikkuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun, bakaaaaaaaaaaaaa...!"
Exasperated, she throws her cell phone into the wall and turn into pice of junk at once.
"Ikkun baka... baka... baka... bakaaaaaaaaaaaaa." Tabane shouted over her king-size mattress. This is the first time Ichika decides unilaterally call, and the odd thought popped in Tabane's head.
"is Ikkun met with another girl who makes him enchanted? Ikkun is only owned by Houki-chan. Ugh... but what if ikkun have a relationship with another girl? What about me? ugh, I can not betray Houki-chan... no... but, like ikun too... mou i'm confuseeeed... ikkun baka... baka baka baka baka bakaaa..."
Tabane immediately hugged bolsters with Ichika's picture in her bed. Her face was sullen and kept humming 'Ichika baka... Ichika baka... Ichika baka' till she fell asleep.
In the Morning. Tabane surprised by the siren in her basement. when she yawn. A hologram screen appeared in front of her.
as soon as she looked at the screen her sleepy-eyed suddenly widened and erased all sign of sleepy.
"Ikkun...!"
Tabane jumped from top of her mattress to her basement door after seeing Ichika's picture grimacing while establishing peace sign with the fingers of his right hand that send to her.
"Tabane-nee... wonderfull...!"
Tabane still can't end her blank state.
In front of her, Ichika watching machine and devices in her basement.
Tabane ran a hurry still on her nightgown.
She still didn't think Ichika is in his basement.
Tabane immediately opened the giant metal door with her hands in a hurry because she can't wait a shift of the automatic doors.
She saw Ichika figure in front of herself and jump towards him to give Ichika bone crusher hugs. But...
"Tabane-nee... I beg of you!" Ichika suddenly bowed down and make Tabane stopped in the air.
"Eh?"
*Crash*
Tabane farthest above the ground.
"I beg you, teach me the ins and outs of your invention. Infinite Stratos!" Ichika is still down while saying loudly and firmly.
Tabane blinked in disbelief. she tried to convince herself that she had not miss heard.
"Ikkun, what-"
"I know it sounds strange, but let me learn the ins and outs of infinite Staros!"
Tabane eyes widened.
"Why?" Tabane asked in her blank state. she never think Orimura Ichika will ask her about it.
"Because I was weak and not able to do anything, I've made a lot of trouble to Chifuyu-nee and Tabane-nee. I didn't want to always rely on your and become coward, my manly pride wouldn't allow it. For that, I wanted to showing myself that I could be useful for you. I'm a man and can't use infinte startos, and i don't planning become girl, cause i enjoying my life as man. Because of this and that, I want to learned all thing of IS, though I can't use it, at least I could be its mechanic who helped Chifuyu-nee and Tabane-nee."
Tabane still blinked in disbelief.
After 10 minutes passed. Tabane just nodded her head and headed into her basement with crackling move like robot still in blank state, in the back of her, Ichika following her with a big smile.
A few second later...
"Tabane-nee... so where we start?" Ichika asked eagerly.
"..."
In front of Ichika, Shinonono Tabane still haven't managed to get out of her blank state. she kept winking again and again on Ichika.
"Tabane-nee? Tabane-nee?" Ichika calling her name. He waved his hand in front of Tabane's face, even he shake Tabane's shoulders can make her snap from her current state.
"Tabane-nee? Are you sick?" Ichika asked, he closer his forehead to Tabane's forehead. Ichika practice what usually Chifuyu to do if he had a fever.
When their foreheads touching. Tabane immediately snapped from her blank state. Her face immediately flushed like tomatoes and smoke billowing from top of her head.
"Kyaaaa..." Tabane feminine voice shouted out her habits, her suden behavior makes Ichika tilt in confusion.
"Tabane-nee?" Ichika tried to call tabane. Seeing Tabane in shy and bash expression was odd for ichika. But ichika don't mind it and think Tabane just very happy because his surprise.
"What should I do? Is ikkun will stay here?-"
"Yes..." Ichika replied straightforwardly with his naïve face and not knowing Tabane is in her own world now.
"Here there is no room left. How is this? and if ikkun and me would sleep together? In one room? In the same bed? No, I'm too young for raising Ikkun child. And i think we mus wait until Ikkun member grown even bigger so he can satisfied me in every night..."
"what are you mean...?" Ichika blinked at Tabane who ignores him and continues to talk with her self in her own world now.
"Ahh, this is dangerous... This dangerous... how can... I and ikkun? No... this is beyond my imagination. what should I do? If so I'll betrayed Houki-chan and fell into ikkun. What should I do?*mumble**mumble*"
"Tabane-nee? What are you all right? What are you talking about? You not sick, aren't you?" Ichika tried to touch Tabane's forehead.
And when Ichika hand touch Tabane's forehead. Face of 'Alice in wonderland wannabe' immediately flushed.
*Pop*
A steam emerging from Tabane's ear and she fell unconscious with swirling eyes.
"Hoah? Tabane-nee? Are you all right?" Ichika shocked because Tabane suddenly fainted.
«One year later»
"No... ikkun will not together with me for now on..." Shinonono Tabane screaming hysterically, she paced with both of her hands holding her head.
A minutes later, Ichika is back to home because Chifuyu finished her work in German.
"Can't you be a bit mature?" a 17-years-old-dark-haired girl with brown eyes look irritated with Tabane childish act, she use a black high-neck-long-slaved-black shirt that expose her voluptuous breast.
"Kuro-chin... Can't you change your appearance? Every time I see you, I always thinking about Ikkun..." Tabane shake her shoulders violently make a *clank* voice like iron collided from girls body.
"I told you to stop your behavior...! YOU CAN MAKE MY NEW UPGRADED FRAME DAMAGED"
*WHACK*
The girl hit Tabane head very hard.
"Kuro-chin... so meaaan... I would be ramming to ikkun..."
*whack*
Tabane received the second blow of the girl, and become silent.
"You think I'm willing with you? If it were not for master's demand, I wouldn't by your side now... I still hate you, remember that!" she said in irritated voice.
Tabane smiled mischievously after hearing the girl's words.
"'Master'? ma i get an error in my ear system?"
The girl still silent not take the bait Tabane had thrown.
"I don't think #000 Core Kuro-Shiki would choose Ikkun... so, you always in 'tsun-dere' mode in front of-"
*whack*
*whack*
*whack*
*whack*
*whack*
A hard and many whack cut Tabane's temptation on Kuro-Kishi.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh" Tabane moaning in pain.
Black-haired girl is none than #000 Core, the proto-type of the all Infinite Stratos. And twin sister of #001 Shiro-Kishi, a 'white knight' IS core.
Actually, Tabane has donated Kuro-Kishi to a museum.
Her reasons because #000 is trouble maker because she made her to perfect.
Kuro-Kishi have intelligence and feelings like humans and 'other' thing.
She is different from Shiro-Kishi which is the core of Kurazakura owned by Chifuyu.
Although both have independent emotion and intelligence. Kuro-Kishi more refuse to Tabane's orders and decide what she wanted by herself.
she refused become core for Chifuyu's Kurezakura with reason 'that woman inappropriate and not strong enough for become my pilot'
And because of that, Tabane finally created a duplicate of #000 cores, the core #001 Shiro-Kishi, by reducing algorithms intelligence and emotion and make it more tractable compared with Kuro-Kishi.
And the reason Kuro-Kishi in Tabane's basement is because Ichika.
One month ago, Ichika find a prototype document of the core #000. And immediately questioning Tabane it out.
Tabane in past told ichika that any of her creations is like her own daughter. and this made him angry because Tabane donated Kuro-Kishi in freezing stat to the museum without thinking about the feeling of core #000 after knowing kuro-kishi have emotion and other humanity aspect.
And after lectured Tabane overnight, Ichika intended to replace core #000 with other normal cores silently with some his 'spy' device which he make after watching the film 'spy childs' in the television.
After his kidnapping core #000 mission. Ichika locked himself for three days and three nights in the workspace to create android simple frame from Kuro-Kishi when he Arriving in the basement.
And the results of his hard work yielded satisfactory. And Kuro-Kishi used in her new frame now. Tabane seem not surprised after seeing the results of Ichika's work on his invention.
The one that made Tabane surprised is resume of ichika data that she take secretly. Although he looks like a regular boy. Ichika has extraordinary hidden potential because his genes.
Tabane also get the same data's genes in Chifuyu resume as she been pilot test for kurazakura for the white knight incident.
Tabane refer to this gene as the 'seed'. A gene with the ability to remove the limiter on the body of its owner.
About his physical ability. Ichika physical ability match his sister's ability, Orimura Chifuyu.
seeing Chifuyu capable of fighting by the bare hands against 10 IS users, Tabane's make sure that Ichika which has a 'seed' that is still growing had a potential above of his sister.
The second is his intelligence.
Ichika looks stupid because he doesn't have interest in something, but if Ichika rounded embroidery and he focus on something.
Tabane acknowledge that Ichika has exceeded her intelligence and make Tabane bit shiver and felt eerie by thinking how ichika in future.
Not waiting for the future. Tabane was goosebumps seeing Ichika creations used as Kuro-Kishi's frame.
Frame for Kuro-Kishi called the 'Stratosdroid' (AN:read description for 'copybot'from Rockman exe or megamen battle network 6).
Before the core #000 installed in that thing, 'Stratosdroid' looks like a simple plain doll coated by fiber that looks like human skin. Its Circuit looks simple for tabane, but has tremendous potential if Tabane remembering ichika potential.
Although made with the same material as the IS material frame, this frame haven't potential for battling or combatant and has a potential to socialize since the Kuro-shiki appearance very similar to humans except some odd movement that need an upgrade.
'Reshape' materialization for appearance is full in cores wish, that mean Kuro-Kishi be freed for choose the form she want.
and as prototype frame user, Kuro-Kishi selects a famale version of Ichika's face, with long black hair resembles Chifuyu and sexy body with amazing breast that resembles Tabane.
Ichika actually feel uncomfortable with the shape of Kuro-Kishi choices. But he prefers to succumb and let Tabane's 'most naughty daughter' do as she wish.
And about that two beings...
In first few days, Tabane and Kuro-Kishi always fight and did little damage on lab facilities, and of course make Ichika angry and annoyed because Ichika is the one who clean up the results of their behavior.
After a ichika entered demonic state resambles to chifuyu but more creeper. They both decided to do quo status for net get endangering themself if Ichika angry.
"Kuro-chin... see... see..." Tabane who had stopped teasing Kuro-Kishi while ago, shows the latest resume of Orimura Ichika's data.
"that?" Kuro-Kishi looks surprised, her expression looks stiff as the frame is still in the refinement.
"Huuhm*nod*... Ikkun will always be with us..." Tabane smiling broadly.
Kuro-Kishi somehow want to smile and agree with Tabane for the first time after a month they never get along...
"Now we have patient to wait Ikkun graduated from junior high school" Tabane made a mischievous smile, make Kuro-Kishi sweat dropped at her 'mother' behavior.
