~Chapter 1: Welcome to the Government~

~Kaku's POV~

Kaku followed the man silently, glancing around nervously. The hallway they were in seemed endless, and he couldn't stop shaking. He still couldn't understand why he had been taken away from the orphanage. Had he been a bad boy?

When they finally reached their destination, Kaku wished that they hadn't. Everything about the rooms inhabitants screamed danger. Kaku began to shake harder as he looked back and forth between the children in the room. The oldest of them was probably about eighteen, but some of the others were closer to his age.

The man who had been leading Kaku down the hall cleared his throat. Everyone in the room immediately stood at attention.

"You are to show this boy around and explain the rules. Understood?" the man demanded.

"Yes sir." the others chorused.

The man left with a nod and Kaku found himself alone in the room, looking back and forth between the serious expressions on the others faces. He couldn't take it anymore. He ran over to the corner and sat down, clutching his knees close to his chest and closing his eyes. When he opened them again, he let out a little cry of fright.

The oldest boys face was mere inches from his own. The other boy had a predatory smile on his face, causing Kaku to back away nervously. The scar that ran down over his eye didn't help matters.

"Hey, look at this kid!" he laughed.

Kaku frowned and tried to pull away from the larger boy, but wherever he moved, the scary boy followed.

"Look at his nose!" he roared with laughter.

"Enough Jabra." a boy with black hair snapped.

Kaku looked over at him and was only more frightened. He had never seen any child with such a serious expression. His arched eyebrows gave him a saucey, bored look. Kaku looked at the pure white pigeon perched on his shoulder in confusion.

"You're such a spoil sport Lucci!" Jabra growled.

"We have orders to teach him the rules." Lucci said back calmly.

Jabra shrugged and turned to shoot Kaku one final evil smile before he settled himself on a couch.

"Don't mind him." Lucci said walking over.

Kaku scrambled to his feet, not liking being around all of these strangers. He looked back and forth between their faces before he swallowed hard and opened his mouth.

"Where am I?" Kaku asked.

"He can speak!" Jabra roared with laughter. "You looked like such a baby that I expected to have to teach you how to talk!"

"Yoyoi!" a boy with pale skin and light pink hair turned to Jabra. "Hoooow rude!"

"Chapapa!" a round boy with green hair walked over. "Kumadori's right. We're supposed to teach him!"

"Aww, shut it Fukuro!" Jabra snapped.

Kaku met Lucci's eyes again, trying to ignore the others. "Where am I?"

"You are at a Government facility where you will be trained to become an agent for the cipher pol." Lucci said calmly.

Kaku didn't quite understand what that meant, but he didn't like the sound of it. He sat down on the couch and began to shake again.

"Hey, kid! What's your name anyway?" Jabra asked.

Kaku didn't reply. He knew that if he opened his mouth, he would start to cry.

"I asked you for your name!" Jabra said louder.

Still no response.

"Fine, I guess I'll have to call you Hana." ~(Note: Hana=nose)

Kaku glared at Jabra angrily."No way!"

"Well," Lucci said sitting next to Kaku. "What is your name?"

Kaku hesitated. "Kaku."

"Well then Kaku." Lucci said, looking Kaku up and down. "Welcome to the Government."
