But It was a stupid question

because you loved me all along

...I was never truly alone.

Chapter 1

The only ones that die

In the end Crow wasn't dead

But in the end I still died alone

Even after you promised

Dark clouds curtained the fair grounds in an eerily sad manor. As if the sky was morning an event taking place at the theme park. And as if to make it more unsettling, all the rides were going. The wheel was turning, the marry go round went round and round, and the roller coaster ran loudly in the background. But louder still was the creepy playing of the fair music. But all this seemed drowned out in comparison to the lights. Everything was dazzling hues of light playing off the metals, and pools of water. The bright unnatural colors lit up the signs in the sky and mixed with the stars.

The light would have made the eerie scene a goth's dream date destination if it wasn't for the two body's lying in the fair grounds.

One was clearly a robot, a machine, that now had dead eyes. For the eyes of a doll when they shut down are gray. And that was how his eyes were now, with its pupil a light gray with a darker gray iris surrounded it... One would have to be stupid to not notice it hadn't shut down. If you didn't notice the dolls eyes surely one would notice the doll's back. With a large deep cut exposing a vast amount of circuitry, filled to the brim with gray, yellow, blue and white wires and cords that were now slashed, were now continuously shooting up the ground, lighting it up with electricity.

Even though the arms of the doll were just as inactive as the rest of it. The arms had a strong hold on a smaller more fragile creature, and it almost seemed to be protectively shielding the other body. Said body looked to be a boy, a pale boy, with blue eyes that were dull and lifeless. The body had side swept brown hair that looked rather unkept matted with dirt and blood. His attire only consisted of a long blue shirt and some black jeans that were soiled with paints of a fresh fight, and the body laid in the robots arms, and that body was bloody… And barely breathing.

That was when one could hear foot steps approaching across the pavement. The foot steps belonged to a figure who whore all white. He wore white shoes, white pants, a white shirt and a white trench coat. This figure was a man that was pale, but not a ghost. A looming character with a tall, large, but not fat, form.

All that white.

The color was one the boy imbraced by the robot knew. And he knew whom it was. Even with his imperfect vision the boy could see his round face clear in his mind. Who could forget the person, the thing, that destroyed your life? In this moment the Burnett could only image what amusement swept over those hatred filled eyes as they glanced upon the couples fallen site. He wanted to glare at the figure that dared come towards them in their last hour. But as the man grew closer he found it harder and harder to simply hold his head up.

He progressed slowly keeping his hands in his pockets as he kept a slow and steady rhythm. His head was bowed but no hair fell on his forehead for the balding man had none. Still even with out bangs his face was shadowed, that is, all but his glowing red eyes that gleamed like fire. He held a crude smile and by the way he walked it was almost like the slithering of a snake. But then again he was one.

...

Step

...

...

That last step was louder then the rest meaning that the looming form was standing over them. The coldness of his shadow chilled the child to the bone. The chill left a menacing presence, one such presence that always seemed to follow the man. Even more so when the man was around the robot the boy cared so deeply for. The though of what the mans thoughts might be jolted his eyes open, and he found it in himself to finally glare up at the lab coat attired man who had stopped in front of them "You monster." He seethed as he realized exactly what that horrible man was thinking.

The thoughts were all there, in those red eyes that twinkled with excitemeant at the harsh words, as if he had received a stunning complement. And to him, he had, for the statement ment he won. He had finally won. The monster's smile then seemed to turn into a fanged one as he spoke in that deep chilling voice "It's been a fun game of cat and mouse with you," he said congratulating the boy who had fallen in their little game "but like I said before…" He then brought himself down barely exposing a face that was as pale as the moon above, with red glowing eyes sunken darkly with his insanity stricken face, horrible thoughts I dare not speak could be seen plainly sparkled in those narcissistic eyes.

"I. Always. Win." He all but spat in the youth's face as his mood did a 360 when he caught sight of the robot with the ridiculous rainbow jacket. He smiled and let his long chubby pale fingers creased the robots cheek. "He was always so beautiful, shame he couldn't be reprogrammed." He muttered too low for even the bloodied boy to hear.

"Don't you touch him!" The Burnett tried to get free from his lovers protective arm. He couldn't let this man hurt the one he cared so deeply for anymore.

A fanged smile laughed at him "It's no use. You can't save him" he cooed as if calming a small child after they had just woken up from a night terror. The spider like fingers took a hat out of his lab coat pocket. He smiled at the purple little hat that belonged to the dead doll and then laid it on the living boy's chest. The boy coughed up blood "Please…" he murmured weakly "Leave Crow alone"

"Don't you understand" the figure said in a condescending way as he lowered himself to get up into the Burnett's face "You lost."

That's when said boy found his body giving up. He wanted, no, needed to fight the darkness that edged his eyes but… he clutched with what little strength he had to his Crow.

You protected me till the end

And now…
I can't do anything for you.

I'm so sorry.

Then the boys breathing hitched and then stopped ALMOST completely, the blood barely pumping through his vanes as he went limp in crows hold.

The figure traced his index finger over Crow's face once more "You're so stupid crow." He then put his hand on said crows arm and tried to unlatch the robots arms from the human. But Crow's fingers were locked tight around the dead child beside him. He heard thunder and yelled in irritation "If you get left out in the rain while your circuitry is opened up like that you'll shut down for good!" he didn't expect a response. He knew Crow was shut down for now and couldn't hear him and the other human was dead so… he was really just yelling to himself. But when a very robotic voice answered he was so started he fell backwards.

"I'd rather shut down" it said in a voice that sounded much to similar to a computer to be crows. But it had crows programming… His thoughts. "Then be without Seto"

"To bad… I wanted to keep you." he pouted as it started to rain. The electricity reacted violently to the small rain drops falling on crow's back. Crows eyes went jet black and the electricity began to surge hitting the almost dead kid beside him causing more blood to come gushing out his mouth, and his chest stopped moving.

But luckily for the antagonist he jumped up, barely escaping an electric shock heading towards him. He sighed. "Better get out of here before I get electrocuted." Then slowly he smiled "Hey. If he's not too destroyed when it stops raining I could fix him" he chided and with that the balding man left.

Leaving the unmoving boy's alone... for the time being.

~3 months earlier~

Like a computer screen that had been turned off, it was black, all blackness inside my head. It was like that all the times when I was 'asleep'. It'd go dark, and numbers like 0's and 1's would fill the black void, as well as an accessional sentence or too. Sometimes when I slept I'd sub-computerly (Subconsciously) log into my memory banks and try to look at old files and movies I had storied insided my zipped files. A lot of times I 'dreamed' of the past but more often over the past few days... I dreamed of Seto.

The thought of the brown haired dope always brought me... comfort. At first it was... some what strange to think about. Being comforted by a human in all, but truth be told I felt an undieing feeling for the kid that... I just couldn't explain. Not even if I wanted to.

But this time I knew when things went black, it would be different. It was utter darkness. No pictures of his smile, no recordings of his laugh, and no video's of a boy falling backwards and blushing in shock as I stole his first kiss.

No.

Not this time...

No, this time it went black, truely black, and it stayed just that. The void of nothingness, it was that cold and unforgivng color, and it stayed that way...It was dark, nothing but darkness, and it stayed dark. I was all alone inside, comforted by no one, unwanted, and untouched. While the last few moments of my back up battery went on I could still think. But I couldn't see. I couldn't talk. I couldn't hear or smell. And I couldn't feel. All I could do was think, and await the end. This was ture suffering. A short moment of darkness and thought awaiting, fearing, the eternal nothing that was sure to come.

All I can say is, when and if you die try and take the fast way out, because truth be told

dieing slow sucks.

It's like your waiting, trying to prolong it, trying frantically to get away from it.

And it's something you just can't get away from. It's just torture trying to fight what's going to happen anyway, even if you don't want it to happen.

Is this destiny? To be here were I was... Alone in the dark void? Everything, dies alone.The words were told to me a rather long time ago, but I did not believe what I was being told. I should have embraced these words, and got use to the thought of dieing this way. Of being alone. So I wouldn't have to feel this rock in my chest. This feeling of utter fear. I normally did not fear. But in this darkness, I did. I feared it, because I could not change it. I could not change being alone, and that's what I was, alone, all until Red letters greeted me at the end flashing:

-Warning-

-Doll H0053348 is now shutting down-

I guess this is it, Tally-

-shut down complete-

Then everything was gone.

I have no memory of anything happening to me in that day after I was shut down. In truth one can't have a memory of nothing. And after that moment I sprang back to life it didn't take me long to come to a conclusion on how things worked. I thought, and thought, and thought about it, and realized...

Humans may go to heaven.

Human's may go to hell.

Humans may become ghosts.

This barren world proves that. Humans have an after life. Humans have something to do after their gone, they can... well... I know they can be annoying and crap to the living, but I'm sure they do other stuff. The enter a new state of being, a new beginning in a sense. In the end at least humans have something.

Something is better then nothing. Then what we have. Because robot's just shut down.

And that's the end of our adventrue. No heaven. No hell. No god. And no ghost. At least not for robots. And If a robot could, a robot would cry at the thought of their fate...of nothingness.

We are created by humans, and we live to serve humans, and then... when the humans die, or the humans don't want us anymore, we are shut down.

There is nothing more to our story. Creation, life, death.

Humans have it a lot better off. And as I awaited the end those last few days I couldn't help... but wish I were human too. So badly that was all I wanted to be, I wanted some place to go when I died. I wanted an afterlife

I wanted to be human

And as I told you in the end a robots story dies right then and their but when humans 'die' their spirit lives on. Note, I say live on. So as I thought this through I got to thinking that technically humans don't die. They pass. Or enter a new phase of some sort.

But if death means end... Humans don't die. Because humans don't end at death, as far as their concerned death may very well be the begining.

But shutting down, thats the end for Robots and Dolls and so... I believe

We are the only ones that can truly die.

Humans pass, or something, they just become another sort of being. Robots die.

And that's just it, no happy ending here, because it can't be changed, and it can't be helped.

-Rebooting-

-Rebooted-

For a moment I couldn't think like myself. I did the basic commands of restarting my system. Just like a computer would. I checked for my files, I updated my data base. I updated my Facebook. Just kidding, that site kind of died after it's users did.

Anyway... I was just a computer for now, just like I always was, when I first reboot. And the ending of that basic start up ends with me opening my history folder and storing it in my computer-conscious mind and then clicking 'Activate PF'

More green letters:

-Acquiring personal frame-

-Acquired personal frame-

Then I was back. I was no longer a mindless machine, I was myself again. I was crow, but was that much different?

Of course I did not think of such things when I returned, truly 'Woah!' was the first thing to pop up in my unoriginal head. Then of course I thought 'That was pretty fucking weird. Why am I rebooting?' When you thought it was the end like I did, you'd be having a WTF momeant as soon as you realized, it wasn't over, just like I was, now wouldn't you?

More green letters popped up on the back of my eyelids.

-Now Charging-

I was charged up to 97% and suddenly being so charged granted me my feeling. Now that I was able to feel I could then feel that I was…. Floating. But my data base told me this was imposable. My model couldn't float, I had to be suspended by... something. I moved around a bit and I could feel the two ports in my back were plugged into two large cords. Why the hell was I floating? How long have I been shut down? Where humans back and dominant? No... Even if they were why would they bother restarting me? I'd be all rusted and what not by then. I relaxed even though I was floating in what I thought may have been warm watery goo. I felt it's warmth all around me...

Wait?

All around me, then I must be- Oh. My. God. I'm Naked. Why am I naked? Where am I? Who undressed me? WHY AM I NAKED!

-Now Charging-

Internally I was freaking out, even though I was sure I looked calm on the outside because my facial expressions and movements were VERY limited. So there I was, floating... naked.

Floating somewhere naked never ended up being a good thing. And how do I know this? Never mind how. It's just not a good thing to be naked, floating, and not being able to hear, smell, talk, or see.

I mean doesn't that just have bad occasion written ALL over it?

98%, I could now move around, and now that I could, I began to move violently. Not so violently that my cords would be jerked out, because unplugging my cords without removing me as a hardware on the main control could wipe out my memory banks and cause glitches in my system. Which would suck. But I moved so my left side hit glass then my right side hit glass. God damn it I was in a glass tube again!

And don't even comment on the again thing!

I squirmed and twisted trying to swim upward to get to the top of the tube, but I felt the tug of my cord and stopped, letting myself float back to my original stance. I still continued to squirm.

-Now Charging-

Okay! I get it I'm charging!

The fact I was rebooting seemed unreal, but I knocked out of the unrealness by the annoying flashing of letters. They made it hard to injoy this. Not that I was at the moment, considering I was naked, confused and in a tube.

Amongst my anger and confusion I heard muffled voices. I was regaining my sence of hearing.

Now I could barely hear the voices because of goo and glass, but my hearing was built to be amazing so the yells came through as whispers.

"He's freaking out what should we do?" I heard a boy yell. Odd I know that voice.

Where do I know that voice? I was cut short from my ponderings by another voice

"Not to be mean, but he's naked in a tube. I'd freak out too" I heard a girl say in a matter of fact way. That voice I didn't recognize. Not what so ever.

Though for some odd reason the boys voice, which sounded like honey, calmed me. It meant me no harm. The voice was kind and compassionate, and without even knowing its owner, I trusted the voice.

-Now Charging-

Will you shut the hell up!

My eyelids became heavy as I regained function of them. And as soon I realized I had gained function in my sight I opened my eyes. I was right. I was in a tube full of… light pink goo stuff. And two large gray cords were plugged into my back as I thought. So then I let my green eyes scan the room beyond the tube. I don't know why, but I recognized this room as the glass cage room (The room where you fight shin the first time and get Ren in your party -finally-)

Of course as I continued to scan the room I found that I was not alone. But already knew I wouldn't be. There was a silver haired girl in a large blue shirt at a control panel pushing buttons and pulling knobs and what not. That must have been the matter of fact voice, I wonder who this...

Huh? Silver hair… That detail seemed so important… Wait

Silver hair?

Silver hair!

Seto was looking for you!

I looked around suddenly I now know why I trust that boy's voice I heard, it was Seto. As my eyes met his I knew then that I was right again. But am I ever wrong?

Don't answer that.

Not even mentally.

My heart skipped a beat as they glanced over those blue orbs. He was standing in front of me. He had his hands pressed to the glass. His amazing ocean colored eyes were swamped with worry, guilt, and… pain. But as our eyes met that changed

His sad puppy eyed stare turned into that of glee and excitemeant, so much, that it over whelmed me as well, and I barely heard him yell "he's awake!"

His eyes never left mine, but mine grew unfaithful so I could take a look at his hands. And I felt my arms raise letting my palms meet his.

"Is he still the crow I know?" he said worry infesting his face again.

Of course I am dobe! I wouldn't forget my best friend!

I heard the silver haired girl yell "There's no telling if he will or not, if he shut down like he did, he probably lost some of his memory"

That's when I decided to lip the words "Best friends"

Seto gave me a shocked look then he looked over run with happiness "He remembers me!" He cried, tears falling out of his eyes.

You always cry…

He pressed his forehead to my tube and I saw him shut his eyes' whispering "he remembers" I then followed suit letting my forehead fall where his was "I'd never forget you! You're an idiot for thinking I would!" I yelled it, hoping now more then ever my overly loud voice could get through the goo and the tube to him.

It did.

He nodded, his eyes finding mine. He heard me. I smiled at him but then out of no where Seto began to cry again. why does he have to go and cry all the time? It always makes me… upset…

He continued to look at me even as tears fell down his face. I could already tell he was getting worked up, his cheeks were already flush, and his eyes looked sunken and red, he must have cried a lot today… That made me even more… upset. I felt myself nuzzle the glass where Seto's nose should be "Don't cry" I mouthed knowing he couldn't hear me unless I yell, and I didn't feel it was the thing or the time to yell that. He continued to look deeply at me as he wiped his eyes and after he stopped crying he nodded and smiled at me, and even though his eyes were still glassy I smiled back.

99% Then my screen went black. I could still feel and hear. But I began to move violently in the goo trying to get my sight back

Green letters popped up

-Recharged—

The screen is black- Why is the screen black! Was this all just a sick dream? Was their really an after life for robots, and I was in hell, a hell that tortured me with what I could not have.

I felt the goo around me, even though it no longer molded to me, but began to shutter and shake. It made me realize I wasn't dreaming, but my freaking got worse. I began to twist and slam against tube walls.

"Somethings wrong with crow!" I heard Seto scream

A loud, and I do mean a VERY loud, noise erupted, it was a vacuum like noise and was being admitted from the bottom of my tube, the noise shook the tube causing me to rock against the walls.

Left

Right

Left

Right

I slammed into the walls I felt the goo no longer vibrating but flowing quickly past me. Like salmon, only it was going down river. The Goo began to dissipate and I slowly began to go down closer to that noise. I desperately tried to get as far from it as possible so I swam frantically to the top. I felt my head surface above the goo and gasped for air I didn't really need. "Crow?" I heard a girl say, but it sounded like it came from a speaker, probably had one in the tube.

"I can't see." I said in a tad too frantic sounding voice.

"Calm down, your just over charged" Came her emotionless reply "The Protective gel is just emptying. After it empties we'll open the regeneration cell and unhook you from the power source. That should bring your sight back."

"And how can I trust you?" I spat defensive feeling myself drop from the lack of goo in the tube.

"Crow? Crow?" Came Seto's frantic cries

"Seto!" I called back.

Hey, if you were in a tube full of goo, naked, and suddenly went blind and hearing loud noises, you'd freak too.

"Crow just listen to Ren okay?"

"Who the fuck's Ren?"

"Crow just trust us" he said in a pleading matter "If you keep struggling you'll pull the cord out and it could harm your battery pack"

I sighed giveing up my rebellious urges to break free and let myself fall with the goo until there was nothing left of the goo to speak of. Except for in my hair… sticky, wet, lumpy hair now…. stupid goo.

I heard steam and a door opened in my glass prison. I did not move, and moments later, a person came in. Who ever it was who came in, I didn't know. Because they were light on their feet, fast, and calm. It must have been the silver haired girl. Though I could have been wrong. Was their anyone else in the room? Well who ever it was, they pulled one of the cords out of my back

Green letter's littered my screen again

-Returning back to regular power-

The other cord came out of my back

-Battery power 100%-

The colors and light came rushing back to me as my vision was restored. Making me feel a little dizzy. I turned to see I was right, the silver haired girl was there, and she was giving me a blank look "Is your sight back?"

"Yeah, can't you tell, my eyes aren't gray any more are they?" I said in my smart ass way.

"I wouldn't know... I'm blind." She didn't say it in hate or irritation, but matter of factly. Like it didn't bother her I said something rude and in a kind of a jerk-ass way.

Before I could even decide weather I wanted to apologize she got out of the tube "Come" I stood straight and walked out of the tube. The outside air was a lot colder so I turned up my internal heat.

"Crow!" Gentle arms were laced around my waist and a soft face became buried in my chest. "I thought you were dead! I thought you wouldn't remember! I'm so glad your back! You're my best friend" I heard Seto begin to sob, so I hugged Seto back and kissed the top of his head, "Calm down kid, don't cry." I nuzzled his hair "Everythings alright now. Okay? So stop crying, I'm not leaving"

"You promise?"

"Yeah, But I am confused" I said looking around for the blind chick. She was standing a little bit away from us looking at us, but yet not… because she was… yeah "Yeah… um… Why aren't I… You know…? Turned off?"

Seto pulled away looking up at me.

He was still crying.

Loser.

"Well you see Seto wanted to bury you." I heard the emotionless girl's response, though there was slight interest in her voice. But it sounded forced… "But I realized you were a doll before we put you in the grave." She continued without a hint of a personality, wow Seto traveled everywhere, and risked his life, JUST to meet this chick? He must have been bummed. "And I remember how Shin use to charge his still working robots in these tubes and I figured it'd work for you…"

Seto then nuzzled into my chest again "I'm so glad your alive." Tears were still in his voice.

"Thanks for not giving up on me" I chided in his ear.

"How could I?" he said between sobs "You're my best friend." He looked up at me with large weepy eyes that I wanted to look away from… but would feel guilty if I did. So I kept my eyes on his. He began to increase in height as he got up on his tippy toes, I almost felt shock!

was he going to-? Seto shut his eyes and his lips creases into mine. I blushed shutting my eyes and kissing him back. "I'm not human" I muttered as I broke the kiss, my eyes still shut as my lips stayed only an inch from his.

Seto pushed away from me an innocent smile on his face "But that doesn't matter." he stated with a your-stupid-for-thinking-that-matters type of voice.

Yes, theirs a voice for it.

I then noticed Ren's large blind eyes staring at us, I found it funny we were kissing in front of a blind girl but I refrained from laughter. Seto took notice and turned tomato red "We need to get you clothes." Seto said a bit embarrassed as he tried to keep his eyes off my body. Why was he so spazzed out? Did me being naked make him nerves. I grinned a bit amused storeing the strange fact about him away for safe keeping "Sure, sure" I said as I tried to push dirty thoughts of Seto's out of my mind. The thoughts seemed to have come from no where and didn't make sense. Were had I seen such things? They kind of shocked me to say the least, "Yeah I feel as though I missed a lot... so I need filled in, don't I?"

"So wait, you saved the world with out even knowing that you were…?" I asked probably for the forth time.

"Crow, Seto, already answered that." Ren said from across the camp fire, her voice annoyed.

We decided the base, of the man that was once trying to end humanity, wasn't a good place to have a sleep over so we hitched our butt's out of there making camp on a trail that was some what close to the hotel.

I glared daggers at the eyes that couldn't see its effect. Seto's laughter then sailed over my thoughts and I turned to smile at the boy who wasn't exactly close to me, but was the next person over, and Ren sat on the other side. Not close, but still beside him. This caused the Blind girl to be across from me. Her being beside Seto granted her my irritation, I didn't know if she cared for Seto, but I did, and I didn't want to share him for some reason.

"Yeah that's how it went down."

I rolled my eyes as I commented "I still can't believe you broke a katana." Seto crossed his arms over his chest "You're a jerk." He said playfully.

I smiled pointing at myself "I'm a robot cyborg. I'm programmed to be a jerk." Seto gave me a soft smile as we both shared a laugh together.

Ren even smiled, but didn't laugh.

"So now what?" I asked inquiring on our quest for the time being.

"We look for survivors" Ren stated matter-a-factly.

I rolled my eyes even though I knew she couldn't see them "I mean, where to? Where would survivors be…?"

There was a long awkward pause before anyone said anything. Because no one had a clue where to look for said survivors. Seto gave the star lit sky a thoughtful look "PF would know…." He muttered.

"PF?" I questioned, "You mean you've seen one of those personality filled back-packs?"

Seto gave me a harsh look for saying that.

I guess the back-pack had been his friend. "Sorry?" I added to try and calm the fuming child.

Seto sighed but nodded weakly looking at the fire as he brought his knee's to his chest "Yeah… her battery's died…. Whatever those are…"

I smacked my forehead "Don't tell me you buried her."
He gave me an innocent look "Yeah, why?"

"Ugh, Seto…" I whined getting this odd feeling we'd have to go dig up a back-pack "We can put a couple of double A's in her and she'd work fine, do you honestly know anything?"

"Don't scold Seto for being ignorant." Ren almost snarled as she gave me a nasty look

Seto sighed "I'm not sure why, but I feel very insulted."

I let out a laugh and the scowl on Ren's face dissipated into a slight smile.

"Where'd you burry her kido?"

Seto punched my arm "Don't call me kid, I'm just as old as you."

I shook my head ready to correct him when Ren intervened "So are you sure this PF person can help us find people?"

Seto rubbed the back of his head "I can't say for sure, but she can try."

"I guess we need to go to the station mall tomorrow to get battery's, and then go find her grave huh?" this would be a detour, but I didn't mind if it made Seto happy. Which I was sure it would.

"Ironic." Seto said a dazed look in his eyes

"What is?" I asked feeling a bit left out. I wish I could read his mind so I could know where his thoughts wondered off to at times.

"That's where I buried her." he admitted sounding a bit sheepish about the whole thing. At least he was aware he didn't know much.

"Oh…" I paused tying to take the best route to a pleasantly ended conversation "I guess it'd make for a short trip."

Seto nodded happily, and I felt happy too.

"A short trip indeed." Ren chided seeming happy as well, but she was happy we wouldn't have to detour from our main mission for too long. The mission for finding real people.

Seto nodded not picking up on Ren's meaning "Yeah I can't wait to get started tomorrow. I guess we should sleep huh?" he gave me a confused look "Do you sleep Crow?"

"I don't need to; my battery will last for a couple months without sleep. Though with it, I'll last up to a year. But considering our circumstance, we need someone to keep watch."

Ren nodded "Agreed."

Seto sighed a bit reluctant "You won't get scared awake and alone by yourself?" I laughed at Seto's innocence

"Seto I'll be fine." Seto smiled at me, and then tears filled his wide eyes

"You wont be gone when I wake up will you?"

A feeling of guilt washed over me and I suddenly found myself grabbing Seto and pulling him into my arms "I won't leave you ever again. You'll never be alone. I promise…" I snuggled the top of Seto's hair, forgetting Ren, as I felt myself being engulfed by the sent that was purely Seto.

Seto sighed happy against my chest "I believe you." He then rested his head in my lap looking up at me with innocent eyes.

I felt nervous and unbearably hot for some reason as I became transfixed on Seto's lips

"Can I sleep here?" his gently lips asked me, no sexual undertone hidden with in the words. Seto wasn't being suggestive, just sleepy and ignorant to how he made my body feel.

"Ye-yeah" I stuttered

"Something wrong? You're face is red." Was I blushing? How? I'm a robot? And the manual states robots don't blush.

Ok, I never read the manual, but I know I had the files somewhere…

"I'm fine, it's just hot. I'll check my temperature controls." I lied smoothly.

Seto accepted my lie with a smile and a soft spoken ok as he nuzzled my leg. I took an uneven breath as the boy shut his eyes. I looked up at Ren whom was now lying down as well.

"Don't you want to lay over here with us?"

Ren smiled at me "Nah, don't want to be a third wheel."

Seto began to snore breaking me from asking her again.

"He goes to sleep fast" I snorted.

Ren giggled and then a worried look passed over her features "I got a question" she said warily.

"I got an answer." I said swiftly picking up on her uneasy mood.

"How to say this…" I heard her mutter "Um…." She started more audible "When we undressed you… I noticed… something- on accident! But I noticed you have… genitals."

She said the last word as if it were some sort of curse that would land her a first class ticket to hell.

"You're point?" I asked harshly. Not really liking where this whole thing was going to go.

"It's just… weird." She said trying to drop the conversation knowing she hit a sore spot with me.

"What's weird?" I inquired a little less hostile, but still full of spite.

She picked up on it.

I saw the blond shift uncomfortable on the ground "Only one type of robot's programmed to have them is all."

Great, she knew more about me then I did. "What kind?" the hostile tone was replaced with a worried one.

"Brand 'H'"

I gulped, my cereal number started with an H. The air was now filled with a thick fog of silence and awkwardness. I began to tremble the only sound was the cracks of the camp fire and Seto's steady breathing as I tried too desperately to log into my zipped memory drive files, but no matter what password I tried nothing worked. Soon I was kicked out of the zipped part of my mind, snapping me back to this sick reality. My gloved fingers swept through Seto's hair.

I still had him… My eyes took in his sleeping form. Scanning that look, the look of peace on his soft face, how he slowly nuzzled my leg, I noticed how long his eye lashes where, and how they kissed his cheek, I noticed his nose twitched ever so often under the light of the fire, and of how soft and perfect his lips where. I bent down barely feeling those lips with mine. As I raised up I felt confused. For once I had no idea what I wanted to do or say.

Finally I sighed and looked at Ren "What are they programmed to do…?" I finally forced myself to ask.

Ren hid her face from view and muttered something.

I took a deep breath, almost afraid to ask, but I needed to hear the answer. Even though I knew it already, I needed to hear it so I repeated my question.

Finally Ren said calmly "Their programmed to do things for their master."

And we left the conversation at that.

Authors note~

So anyone like this? I spent almost a month making it and I'm almost positive I STILL have spelling errors. But not any more thanks to my lovely assestant!~ I looked over it three, may I repeat, FOUR times. I wanted it to be perfect, or at least something close! This is as close as I got.

Sorry this chapter is a bit short and slow, but I felt it was the best way to introduce my story. This couple really needs more love ^ ^~

I was also a bit inspired by Loose Ends, and the fact it hasn't been updated in a while, plus theirs only like what, 28 fanfictions of this adorable couple? But when I get inspired I sometimes rush my chapter, then I go back and rewrite it, then I add detail, then I do two spelling checks, then my wonderful friend proff reads it, like she just did!~

But I think I did better on this story then any other one I've done. I tried really hard. So please leave a review and I will write more, but note this chapter was made over a months span, so it may take a couple days since I already have the layout, but I hope for a quick update, some reviews may give me the drive to write faster ^ ^

Have a nice daaaayyyyyyyyyy!~

P.S: I also wanted to know if I should add lemons in later chapters and make the story a 16+. It all depends on what you people want. I honestly believe this couple doesn't have enough lemons (if any) but that may be for a reason. So if you do or don't want them I'd like you to speak now or forever hold your peace, thank you and goodbye for now.
