Hey all, it's time for another lemon. This is an idea I had for some time, and since I have recently taken to HarpuiaxAlouette, well, I figured I might as well write one of them. The setting is going to be during MMZ3, but it will deviate from the plot by quite a lot later.

This was originally up as 'Complicated', but after I took it down and rethought about it, well, now it's called 'Keeping a Secret'. The story is a bit more thought out and I'm making some changes to the story, but for right now, this is only the first chapter. Again, the pairing is HarpuiaxAlouette, with Alouette being in only her original body.

That being the case…

Chapter 1: A Strange Noise

A soft hum sounded against the empty silence of the maintenance lab, the maintenance bed working furiously to repair and heal Sage Harpuia. It had been some time since the Wind Guardian was brought back to the Resistance Base along with Zero, the two barely escaping with their lives from Omega. They had encountered the powerful warrior in the destroyed residential district, but despite their combined efforts, Omega, now housing the Dark Elf, easily overpowered them. Both fighters were injured, but just as Omega was about to deal the finishing blow, the operators were able to transfer them out just in time, bringing not only Zero back to base, but the heavily injured Sage Harpuia as well.

A light, tired sigh escaped his lips. Harpuia wasn't aware that he had been asleep with the grey, box-shaped visor over his eyes. The last thing he remembered after being transferred was the blurry image of several Resistance members crowding around him, just before his entire world went black. Since then, he felt nothing, saw nothing, and heard nothing, his entire system having shutdown to input more power to the autorepair system. The guardian could only guess that it must have been hours, perhaps days since he had been knocked unconscious, and at the very least, he was glad the wracking pain and powerful numbness was gone. However, there was something that brought great shame to him. He had to get help from the Resistance, those pitiful mavericks who rebelled against Neo Arcadia long ago. As a former Guardian of the utopia, he battled against these reckless reploids for several years, and after each battle, he felt a strong sense of justice and pride, knowing that he was protecting the humans from mavericks who are surely endangering Neo Arcadia. Now, he was getting help from them, the very enemy who he had sworn to destroy. In addition, Sage Harpuia was stripped of his rank and position by none other than Master X himself, essentially branding him, his brother Fefnir, and his sister Leviathan civilians of Neo Arcadia with no power whatsoever to protect the people. It disgusted him to think that the three of them, the sons and daughter of their father and master, were disposed of like garbage for some insane madman.

The cumbersome visor showed several images on the screen, the main one being a wire-frame diagram of his schematics with a forest green number on the left side, depicting his recovery status. 70... 'Can't go any slower, can it?' Harpuia mused to himself. Nevertheless, he remained still in the maintenance bed, allowing it to do its work. He really didn't have much of a choice in the matter. With his systems functioning only at 70 capacity, not to mention that he was greatly outnumbered by the Resistance and that Zero was present in the base, he should remain cooperative. The leader, Ciel must still be issuing guerilla attacks on Neo Arcadia, and while the sage felt regret in the fact that he couldn't do anything, he figured it was for the best. From what he had known, Ciel wasn't a bloodthirsty murderess or criminal, she was a kind hearted girl who was merely caught up in the tide of events. For all he knew-

"Mmm…"

Harpuia suddenly stiffened. What was that? His audio sensors quickly picked up a strange sound within proximity, something like a moan…

Pant…Pant…

"Oooh…"

The sage refrained from grunting. He focused on the noise coming in front of him, careful, and above all, suspicious. Someone was in the room with him. How had he not picked up this noise earlier? There was a quiet gasp from the foreigner, obviously an attempt to silence any noise, but it was all that gave away the position. Harpuia smirked. Ten o'clock from his position, that's where the noise was. He pushed the grey visor to the side and stepped off the maintenance bed, taking a moment to grasp his surroundings. As his vision cleared, his eyes noted features in the rundown maintenance lab, particularly the drab gray color scheme, the various tools lying about, the lack of chairs, and a single computer station by the door. His eyes soon focused on the source of the sound, spotting a single, solid table standing in the middle of the room. The sides were completely opaque so he couldn't see what was behind it, but the sounds, they were definitely coming from there. The moans, the pants, they were all coming from there, and as Harpuia continued to listen, he realized it wasn't from distress.

It was from pleasure.

A small blush came upon his features as he silently walked forward. The voice was definitely female, but it sounded…young…VERY young. He had no idea who in the world would be masturbating in the lab, especially when he was resting on the maintenance bed, but his curiosity was already piqued. Slowly, he made his way to the table, quietly kneeling behind it. The moans were now accompanied with quiet whimpers, the young girl probably stroking faster now.

Harpuia slowly straightened his body,

reached over the tabletop,

and peeked over the side…What he saw left him speechless, absolutely speechless.

"Mmmph…!" Alouette grit her teeth as her fingers touched that sensitive spot again. She was a little embarrassed earlier upon 'wetting herself', but to her surprise, it made things much better. The spot between her legs…oh…it felt much better…So...MUCH…BETTER…! The young reploid girl wanted to take her clothes off, her pink dress, the body hugging suit, everything…She felt so hot now. So hot and…OOooh…so wonderful…

This feeling…It was amazing…How come she had never known about this? Why did Ciel never tell her about this? Oh, it felt wonderful…It felt…

Alouette's head tilted back, her heavenly expression gazing upward. Her fingers continued to play with her special spot as she moaned, briefly pushing against the black fabric. That was when her blue eyes, gradually opening in shock of the 'force' of this feeling, spotted what looked like green wings poking from the top. Alouette instantly recognized those wings. They were a part of Mister Harpuia's helmet.

She immediately gasped and stood up, hugging her doll closely to her chest. Harpuia easily heard her footsteps as she made her way around the table and he knew that even with his speed he couldn't make it back on the bed in time. Acting instinctively, he straightened his back and turned to face the girl, unknowingly putting on an intimidating stare. Both were completely silent. The guardian, as he stared down at the girl, was running the scene again in his mind. He couldn't believe what he saw. This little girl, the girl who was constantly tagging along with Ciel, was pleasing herself behind a table while he was asleep. How the hell does she know this? Even though she is a reploid, how could she know of…this at such a young age? Alouette on the other hand, was scared. She knew what Harpuia was like, and she had heard the horrible stories of how he killed her friends and other people. The girl always wanted to shout at him for doing this, but right now, all she knew was fear, complete and utter fear. The longer she looked into his eyes and his penetrating stare, the more she wished it was just a horrible dream.

"What are you doing here?" He finally asked.

"I…I uh…" Her body quivered with fear and the warmth she felt only minutes earlier was suddenly absent from her legs. The intimidating stare only made delaying her answer feel even worse, but the girl couldn't find the courage to form the words she wanted, let alone figure out what to say. "I-I…I was…u-um…I mean…uh…" Her breathing increased, a sickening vision of Harpuia wielding a blade suddenly coming to mind.

Harpuia easily noticed the girl's body language. Alouette instinctively stepped back as he kneeled down, coming to one knee so he could look directly at her. She felt her fear slightly relieved when he had a softer gaze, but it was only slightly. Those horror stories were still in mind, and they sounded more real than ever now. "It's okay, calm down." He stated calmly. "I'm not going to hurt you, don't worry." He noticed the girl wasn't really listening, so he extended one arm and placed it on her shoulder, causing her to almost scream. She nearly stepped back but Harpuia held her firmly. "Just take a deep breath…" He inhaled, then exhaled. "Okay? Come on, deep breaths…" He gently massaged her shoulder, hoping to relax her and have her follow his example. It took a few seconds, but he noticed her hyperventilation begin to go away. "That's right, deep breaths…That's it…Just deep breaths and relax…" The guardian continued to lead her, still massaging her shoulder while she continued to inhale and exhale audibly. Finally, after about a minute, Harpuia released her, seeing the girl more relaxed than she was earlier. "Alright," He coughed. "I mean, okay…What were you doing here?" He asked again.

"I…I um…" Alouette quivered, her lip stuttering. "I'm…I'm sorry that I woke you up Mister Harpuia." She said hesitantly.

Harpuia exhaled, smiling lukewarmly. "It's alright, don't worry about it." He bit his lip. "…I feel much better now, so it's okay."

"I'm sorry." Alouette sighed, turning her head.

Harpuia paused before thinking of what else to say. Despite fully understanding what she was doing, he didn't want to delve into this subject just yet. If she knew exactly what she was doing, then it would be a rather embarrassing topic.

…

Come to think of it, he never got her name.

"What's your name?"

"A-Alouette." The girl responded.

"Well," He paused briefly. "It's nice to meet you Alouette." Again, silence. His mind was mentally arguing with him over a decision. One side wanted him to ask why exactly she decided to masturbate in the lab while he was here, but the other countered with trying to stay away from the subject, especially since it was just a little girl. He sighed and looked to the side, unsure of what to do, let alone say.

"…Are you going to retire me?"

Harpuia looked quizzically upon hearing the question. It took him for a moment to realize what she said, especially when he realized she was looking at him. "Of course not." He said with some shock. "Why do you think I would do that?"

"You're a Guardian." She answered. "Is…Isn't that what you do?"

Harpuia sighed. She had a point. "I only retire mavericks that are a danger to humans. It's my job to protect them and keep the peace in Neo Arcadia." 'At least…it was' he mused quietly.

"Then, why aren't you going to retire me?" She asked again. Before Harpuia could reiterate, Alouette continued. "Mama said that everyone in the Resistance is a maverick." She suddenly grew angry. "We aren't evil people Mr. Harpuia! We don't want to hurt anyone!"

The guardian was a little shocked to hear her outburst, but at the very least, he knew that she had calmed down. She might still be on edge about him, but at least it isn't up to the point where she couldn't speak. Nevertheless, what could he tell her? "Well, I won't hurt you." In his mind, he knew he was telling a bit of a lie, but he followed through with it anyway. "…Everyone here helped me, so I won't hurt them."

Alouette still looked at him with suspicion. "…Promise?" She held her right hand toward him, her pinky sticking out from her fist. She noticed the guardian look stupidly at the hand. "You're supposed to shake with your pinky Mr. Harpuia. It's called a pinky promise."

"Oh." Harpuia said, smiling lightly out of amusement. Here he was, talking with the youngest member (at least, to his knowledge) of the Resistance, and about to make an empty promise. While the guardian had changed his thoughts on the retiring of reploids, he still firmly believed that as long as Neo Arcadia or the humans were in danger, he had to protect them. The Resistance was still a threat to the city, and as long as they tried attacking, he had no choice but to defend Neo Arcadia against the reploids. Still, if it'll make her feel better…He wrapped his own pinky and shook it, somewhat awkwardly. "I promise."

A smile pulled on Alouette's face. He wasn't as scary as she thought; maybe they could be friends. "Thank you Mr. Harpuia." Her eyes opened up and she loosened the grip on her doll. "I'm glad you're okay. I was worried about you after Mr. Zero came back with you."

"Thank you." He said with a small smile. "Although, I still want to know, what were you doing here?" The question had never been answered, and now that things seemed to have gotten more comfortable, perhaps she'll answer. He had to admit he felt awkward about asking her this, essentially wondering why in the world she was pleasing herself here, but the fact that she was so young…He had to know…

"Oh…well…you see…"

(Several minutes later)…

"Ahh…Ahh…!" Alouette moaned, trying her best not to move on the cold tabletop. She hugged her doll tightly as Harpuia's bare hands trailed over her body, his skin making contact with her black suit. The dress had been discarded over on the side, leaving the girl only in the black skintight clothing. It defined her body well, showing off her cute little frame which was void of any development. Alouette had the body of an eight-year old girl, so it was understandable for her flat chest and her small vagina…but even so, as Harpuia continued to stroke her, he couldn't help but feel some sort of attraction. His blush had grown brighter than before as he listened to her moans, his morals taking a backseat to his antics. Harpuia's left hand then made its way to her chest, gently taking the little doll from her hands. "H…Huhhhh…?" Alouette moaned, all the while looking through slits as her chest constantly moved up and down.

"I…" He paused, struggling to control his thoughts. Before, he was only doing this reluctantly, but now…now he actually wanted to continue, to go faster…but Harpuia knew better. He was a guardian, he had to maintain control. "…Move your arms, Alouette." The girl nodded and moved her hands off, revealing her tiny little nubs poking against the black fabric. With some hesitation, Harpuia's left hand gently covered both breasts, his hand barely large enough to do so, and began to rub around her flat chest, moving his palm over one hard nub while his fingers played with the other.

"Oooh!…Oooh…" The girl's eyes closed as the guardian changed his orientation, now playing with each individual breast with both hands. He was careful, careful not to harm her. A tiny jolt of electricity coursed through her small hard nipples, sending a pleasing tingle throughout her body and through Harpuia's fingers. She felt these jolts before while she was touching that spot earlier, but now that Harpuia was rubbing her chest, the jolts…they felt so much stronger. Alouette didn't know it, but her chest contained circuitry that generated small volts of electricity when she was sexually aroused. This had caused those wonderful feelings to be accentuated, all as those jolts made her body more sensitive and pleasing to both herself and Harpuia. She moaned loudly without restraint, enjoying the feelings that coursed through her chest. Oh, so wonderful. Mr. Harpuia's hands were working wonders on her, his hands moving, rubbing in little circles around her nipples…Oooh…So…Goood!

"Alouette…" Harpuia said worriedly, glancing at the door as he continued to rub and caress her. "…Please be quiet." He said quickly. His fingers now began to tease her stomach, making their way down to where her belly button was before climbing back up. Th…This was wrong…yet he couldn't bring himself to stop…He knew he shouldn't actually be enjoying this…but…he couldn't help but enjoy what he saw. Alouette, moaning and writhing from his touch…the sound of her moans as she felt pleasure course through her…He…He liked this, as much as he hated to admit it.

"S-Sorry Mist-aah…Har…Harpuia…" She moaned. She closed her eyes again, absorbing the wonderful feeling that she felt only minutes ago.

The guardian sighed. "Please…don't call me that…" He said. "Call me Sage…" The fact that he was doing this right now, he didn't want to hear 'Mister'. It made it sound like she belonged to him, that she was his property. She wasn't property, she was just a curious little girl, so just saying his first name will suffice for now. He continued to watch her, his eyes displaying a present hunger. His mind constantly told him that he should stop, stop before he really does lose control of himself, but at the same time, it told him to press on, give her what she asked.

"Aaah…Aaah…Oooh…S-Sage…" She moaned again, feeling his right hand touch the spot between her legs. The moist spot felt really uncomfortable on her legs…and all she cared about right now was removing this garment. It even felt like it was restraining the feeling from her breasts. "P-Please…" Alouette moaned. Faster than the eye can see, she grabbed at the zipper on her neck and quickly began to pull it down her body. By the time it reached her chest, the girl suddenly felt a hot pair of lips on her own. Her eyes shot open, staring into Harpuia's green orbs, but she quickly closed them. She didn't know why…but she enjoyed this, she enjoyed this kissing. To her dismay, it quickly ended.

"Let me Alouette…" He grabbed the ends of the suit around her chest and pulled it to the sides, allowing the girl to remove her arms. Alouette did so, pulling her arms out of the garment and opening up the skintight suit, revealing her bare chest and her cute, smooth stomach. The sage blushed upon seeing this, and as he pulled further down toward her core, he saw a cute pair of panties covering them. A small pink bow was tied on the front, the spot below it wet with her fluids. Alouette was flustered as well, but she raised her legs once the zipper ended just below her panties. Harpuia lifted her back gently and removed the suit off her back as Alouette kicked off the legs. She lay back down again, breathing heavily from arousal and the wonderful feelings that preceded it, wearing nothing but her cute panties and staring at the green sage.

Harpuia smiled hesitantly and removed his helmet. He set it gently on the floor and stared back at the little girl, his short brown hair impressed by the helmet. Alouette smiled as the hands crept back onto her body, one tracing out her legs toward her panties while the other climbed her stomach toward her chest. She moaned once more, the blush growing across her face. The jolts generated from her nubs traveled more freely around her body and when she felt Harpuia's hand over chest again, she screamed involuntarily. He followed up with light rubs and caresses over one breast, tending to it caringly as the other hand touched her wet panties, gently poking her. "Mmm…!" She moaned. Her chest continued to heave up and down at a rapid rate, all the more appealing for the green sage who continued his ministrations. "Ooh…S…Sage…!" She screamed.

At that moment, Harpuia came down once more and caught her lips, kissing her with an unknown passion. Alouette's eyes jolted open once more, but she instinctively grasped his neck and ran her hands over the back of his head, feeling his smooth, if not, impressed brown hair. She made a spasm and moaned into the kiss upon feeling the guardian's hand enter her panties, his fingers playing with her most private area. She couldn't believe how wonderful this felt, how…unbelievable this was. At the same time, Harpuia's mind seemed to encourage him, having beaten his morals and commanding him to finish up while he had the chance.

KER-CHUNK!

Their eyes immediately shot open upon hearing the locks disengage. They both stared at the large steel door, the red lights beginning to flash. Almost instantly, Harpuia felt burning shame for what he did, but all he cared about was Alouette. "Oh no…" He glanced over at her. "Hide!" The girl immediately grabbed her suit and jumped off the table as Harpuia hastily pulled on his suit, vest, gauntlets, and helmet while running toward the maintenance bed. He swiftly fixed his helmet and adjusted his gauntlets, then grabbed the box-shaped visor and placed them over his eyes once more. At the side, Alouette poked her head from behind the table at the door, watching nervously as the lights flashed blue. The door opened, and just before she pulled her head behind the table, the girl easily saw Zero and Ciel before the threshold.

"Are you sure you want to see Harpuia right now?" Zero asked, walking alongside the nervous Ciel.

"I want to make sure he's coming along okay." Ciel answered. "Harpuia suffered worse than you did, so I want to make sure he's okay."

"You're still planning to ask him if he'll fight with us?" Harpuia felt a slight twinge. Now they want him to fight for THEM, AGAINST Neo Arcadia?

"Yes. Harpuia's the only guardian with us right now, and he's probably the only one I can trust." Ciel answered. The guardian listened as their footsteps came to a stop. He felt a very, very ominous presence before him, obviously because the two were standing right in front of him. Tense silence filled the room, all as Harpuia tried his best to remain still and pretend to be asleep while Alouette tried her best to remain silent, watching from the side of the table. "….It looks like he's still asleep. We can come back later Zero."

"Yeah, good idea." The guardian felt a wave of relief strike him, but he couldn't shake the feeling that he was still being watched. Suddenly, he heard the red reploid speak. "He must be having a good dream." There was a hint of smugness in his voice.

"…What makes you say that, Zero?"

"Look, his face is all red." Somewhere in his mind, Harpuia knew that Zero was pointing, perhaps even jeering at him and his blushing face. Hell, he didn't even realize that his face felt hotter than usual until that crimson warrior pointed it out.

"Oh wow, you're right." There was a brief pause and some footsteps. "And his health reading is at 90 now…It was only 60 hours earlier…"

Zero chuckled. "He must be dreaming about Leviathan."

Harpuia made a strange throaty noise upon hearing the mention, struggling to remain still and not jump out of the bed and strangle Zero. Of all the things heard, WHY in the world would he say-

"What makes you say that?"

"I've heard some things while I was on a mission in Neo Arcadia. Some of the guards were talking about how Leviathan and Harpuia might actually be a couple…" He scoffed. "I guess they were right."

"…But Zero…aren't they supposed to be siblings?" There was only silence, all while Harpuia's face grew a deeper red. He could only assume that maverick nodded with a stupid grin on his face. "…That's…well, I suppose, if they really do…"

"Yeah, I know. I feel the same way about this. Hmm?"

"What? Hey, the number spiked again! Now it's at 95!"

Zero huffed. "Must be a good dream. I guess we should leave him alone then."

"Yeah, good idea." The footsteps returned but they gradually began to fade, signaling that they were heading toward the door. All the while, Alouette carefully watched them, the cool air of the room still tickling her nearly naked body. She tried to remain quiet as she watched, carefully slinking back to one side of the table to remain hidden. "Oh Zero, that reminds me…Have you seen Alouette anywhere?" Alouette froze, stifling a gasp. She quickly brought her legs against her chest and rested her head on the door, feeling her metaphorical heart pump against her chest.

"No, I haven't seen her lately."

"Oh, okay. I haven't seen her for the past hour or so, I'm worried." Alouette gulped but continued to listen, poking her head out to, thankfully, see Zero and Ciel's backs facing her.

"I'm sure she's alright. She won't go outside the base right? She's probably around here somewhere."

"Yeah, you're right. I'll go look for her later, for now, I really have to focus on this."

"I'm always here, Ciel. If you need anything, let me know."

"Thanks, Zero. But please, don't overexert yourself." Zero only remained silent. Alouette watched them walk toward the room, the door opening and closing once again. Once the door slammed and the lights turned red, she let out a sigh of relief.

"That was close."

"…I'm going to kill him if it's the last thing I do." Harpuia uttered quietly. He pushed aside the visor and jumped out of the maintenance bed. "Dreaming about my sister…Who does he think he is?" He asked rather loudly.

"…Sage," The voice broke his anger, and he immediately turned his attention to Alouette.

"S…Sorry about that." He sighed.

"No, it's okay." She ran up to him and hugged him, her arms wrapping around his thighs. "Thank you for showing me that."

"…" Harpuia was silent, contemplating to himself what had just happened the past few minutes…as well as struggling to keep his cock under control. "Y…You're welcome, Alouette…" He sighed, the shame still burning deeply in his mind. "Put your clothes back on." The girl nodded and as she began slipping her black suit over her skin, only one question ran through the guardian's mind.

What am I going to tell Ciel?

Well, that about wraps it up for now. I hope you guys liked it better than my previous one. I apologize for the unrealisticness of the situation (more because we know this would NEVER happen in the games), but please, don't flame me about this.

Reviews would be greatly appreciated! And thank you for reading!

Also, big thanks to NeoSpearBlade who came up with the idea of the ending! I've got to say it was pretty helpful for the fic, and thus, he has my thanks!
