Me: Hi welcome to my second story. Not much to say really since this is the beginning. I don't know how often I will be able to update this because of school but I'll do my best.

Enjoy ;P

"Seto?" a female voice said behind me. I turned around; the silver haired girl was walking towards me carrying one of her cats. "Is it finally over?"

"I guess so." I said. "But I don't really know. I mean there are still survivors."

"And there are still a lot of ghosts out there." she said. "Unless they disappeared along with that man."

"I don't think so." I replied picking up a broken pipe that was lying on the ground. "I think something else is keeping them here." I handed her the pipe. "You're going to need this when you come across a ghost." I said brushing a strand of hair out of my face.

"Hey Seto…" she began. "Ahhh never mind."

"Huh." I looked at her, confusion clouded her eyes and she was looking at me strangely. "Uhhh… anyways let's go… hey what's your name?"

"Ren." she smiled holding out her hand.

"Seto." I said grasping it. "But you already knew that."

"Hehe." she laughed. "Anyways it's nice to meet. Thanks for saving me."

"Your welcome." I said. "It wasn't a big problem."

"I shouldn't have run away." she said apologetically.

"Come on we gotta get moving." I said walking past her. "We can't stay here any longer."

"Wait you mean I can come with you?" she said catching up with me was I was starting down the stairs.

"Sure why not." I said turning the special flashlight on. "It'll be easier for me to save you if you get into trouble again. We need to watch out for each other."

"Right." she said. I looked over at her. I could tell she was smiling.

"I mean you don't have to come with me if you don't want to." I said going down another flight of stairs. "The choice is up to you. Or you can come with me for awhile and then leave. But please let me know what you decide soon."

"I'm staying with you." there was no pause between my sentence and hers'. I could tell from her voice that she was excited.

I nodded. "Hey Ren do you mind if we check out the basement?"

"No." she said.

"Kay." I smiled. I'll keep my promise to you Crow I'll find them and bring you back. You won't be alone much longer. We had to go down five more flights of stairs not including the one flight down to the basement. When we finally got down there I immediately started going through the boxes.

"Hey, Seto what are you looking for I'll help." Ren said sitting her cat down.

"Batteries." I said not looking up from the box I was looking through. "And anything else that might be useful but mostly batteries."

"Why batteries?" she asked.

"I need them for two of my friends." I replied.

"What do they need batteries for?" she said opening a box. "What kind of batteries do you need?"

"Honestly I'm not sure what kind I didn't think to check." I said mentally kicking myself, god I'm an idiot why didn't I think to check. "Just grab as many as you can of multiple kinds."

"Kay." she said. We were quite while we continued searching for the batteries. "Hey Seto you still didn't answer my question. Why do your friends need batteries? I know it's not my business, I was just wondering."

"It's fine." I said. "One of my friends is kind of like a computer she helped me get through the underground mall before her battery died. Her name was P.F. short for Personal Frame. My other friend was named Crow. I meet him at the amusement park. He died the next time we saw each other in a room with other robots and dolls. Before he died I promised him I'd find him a new battery and bring him back. And I plan on always keeping my promises from here on out." I felt a tear run down the side of my face. I wiped it away. "Man what is it with me and crying lately?" I shook my head and laughed. "Guess you think I'm crazy now going through boxes looking for batteries that won't work anyways. Sorry about this Ren you don't have to do this."

"Are you kidding." she said. "After everything you went through to save my life you think I won't help you look for some batteries, of course I'll help and I don't think you're crazy, 'cause I would do the same. They're your friends they helped you and so will I."

"Your right they have." I said looking over at her. "And so have you. If it wasn't for you three and Sai I think I would have gone mad. Thanks to you four I was able to keep going. I wish I could have thanked Sai better before she left."

"I'm sure she knows." Ren said. "Seto I found some!" she said opening another box. This one was smaller than the others but still plenty big. "And it's filled with unopened batteries. All different sizes."

I ran over to her tripping over a couple boxes. She was right there were unopened packages of different kinds of batteries each labeled with things they went to. I picked up one that was labeled "Computer Batteries" they were smaller than average computer batteries. "These might fit P.F.." I said pulling out another pack of batteries. "Robot Batteries Only" I paused and looked at it my hand was shacking. The battery looked like a cell phone battery only thick and a hint bigger; it had two small silver knots at the top. "These are for Crow." I said my voice hoarse. "These are the batteries Crow needs."

"Then come one I can carry this box and we can come back for more later." she said grabbing the box and standing. Right now let's go wake up Crow and P.F.." I stood and threw my arms around her.

"Ahhh… Seto!" she said almost falling.

"Thank you Ren." I whispered. "Thank you thank you thank you."

"Hey Seto…" Ren started. "Are you a girl?"

Me: Ok it's like late now so I'll put the next chapter up either tomorrow or the day after. If you read the prologue then you know the answer anyways. Will the batteries work for both of them, only one them, or for neither and what will they be like if they do work? What and find out.

Later ;)
