Why did it happen...?
It happened because it had to.
--
There are many things that happen in this world. Too many, in fact, that many of them remain in the restless hearts and minds of thousands, maybe even millions or billions of people. Stories of love, hate, war, betrayal. To touch base with all of these stories is impossible, but I think this story will serve some purpose. I believe that we're all connected in some way. Each of us is an influence on the world. Things happen because they need to; God does not play dice with the universe, and so on. I've seen many things: a boy turn into a tyrant, a mistake turn into something beautiful, a machine that of God Himself. With that, I figure, I begin to wonder: what makes us human? What makes you and I so different from the boy who became the Machine of God, the weapon, the DEUS EX MACHINA...?
Is it what we physically are?
Is it what we emotionally feel?
Or...is it something completely different...?

DC02: Perfection Saga
Penned: Stereophonic
Date Started: (I hope) 11/28/2004
Pre Chapter: "Something to remember me by..."
It was dark. Wind blew about carelessly in the midst of the desert. It was beautiful in a solemn, lonely way. Darkness spread about the eerie land.
One would almost begin to ask where this was, who was there, and such questions. The only answer I, as the writer, may give you, the reader, is that this world is a parallel to our own. In fact, this universe was entirely fictional. Things were much different, though very similar.
There are to be no questions as it happens. Things happen because they need to, and there is no way to stop them. Of course, thoughout the course of the story one may get sick or be unhappy. If that is the case, its alright. Feel free to laugh or cry. As a friend of mine says, "that's life", I had better learn to deal with it.
Life is hard. We all know that. How hard is a matter of perception.
As for me, I will be here writing this story as much as I know how to. As long as I have feeling in my hands and in my mind (or as they call "heart"), I will write. Emotion is a funny thing. If you need me I'll be here, ready to nod and reply with a smile on my face. Now, I've wasted valuable time, haven't I? Oh, dear... Well, it's late, so I'll get as much done as I can.
Enjoy my mind-child, now nearly six years old.

I.I "In Which a Saga Unfolds"
Beeepp....Beeeeeep....
"Not yet..." the teenage girl sighed irritably, covering her ears with her face buried at the computer desk's miscellania. The room was a light blue colour, with the light of a brand new morning peering in through the closed blinds. She opened her eyes and stared with her mouth agape at the alarm clock. It was eight o' clock, a.m., and her first day of school in the ninth grade had arrived.
School was to start at 8:15, so the girl found herself to hurry. Running swiftly to the shower, to the closet, to the kitchen where her mother was busy with studying.
"Mom, I'm off to school!" She cried, snatching her backpack and lunch off the table. Her mother sighed with a frown and a sly look from behind her glasses,
"Alex, I have a lot of homework to do..."
The girl, named Alex, breathed heavily and she was out the door.
"Why'd she have to study for her degree, anyways?" She told herself as she ran and combed her hair with her shaky fingers. "Seems like she's against me..."
Thusly, Alex kept on running.
After another ten minutes, Alex had reached the school. It was a nice school, though she had thought differently. Made mostly out of steel and brick, it was linked with another school that looked about the same. Alex feared conformity, to say the least. She feared becoming an adult, starting ninth grade, being a freshman in highschool. However, as long as her mother made her go, Alex was doomed to homework, tests, and snotty teachers. Maybe growing up isn't so bad, she thought sometimes. She glided into the courtyard with all the other kids, who were looking older. One of which was a boy named Chiisu Kimura, a friend of hers since childhood.
"Chii-kun!" she cried. The tan-skinned, brown-haired Chiisu turned his head and faced her,
"Alex. How was your summer break, then?"
"Lousy... I didn't have any fun. Mom kept on making me clean everything: 'do the dishes, Alex', 'no using the computer today, Alex', blah, blah, blah...hey!" The bell had rung and everyone, including Chiisu, was on their way into the school.
"W-wait for me!"
Alex was late for class. She had gotten to the science lab about ten seconds after the second bell rang. A rather heavyset boy had followed her, who was late also.
"I see that you two are tardy..." the teacher sniffed. Alex and the boy were distraught. The teacher began to write out the detention slips.
"Dammit..." the boy sighed, closing his large blue eyes and straightening his short blonde hair. "Damn the Tardy Policy..."
"You got that right," Alex sighed in return as the two made their way to their tables.
"Alright, class..." the teacher spoke, getting out a dry-erase marker and jotting some stuff on the board, "...today we shall begin with...ah, Miss Mikiru!"
Alex's eyes had shifted to the girl in the doorway. She wore a purple camisole shirt, a pink miniskirt, and pieces of gold jewelery. Behind her glasses, mischievious brown eyes hid. Her long brown hair fell down to her elegant fingers.
"Hello, I'm here for the attendance sheet," she said in a polite, formal voice. The teacher swiftly nodded, handing the girl a sheet of paper with copies of the two dention forms. She saw Alex twist and writhe in her seat, and immediately deducted that she had gotten the detention. The girl giggled and announced,
"Wow, late for the first day. What idiots." With that, she ran gaily out of the room. Alex moaned with disgust.
"I wish Chii-kun was here," she muttered. The heavyset boy didn't seem to be doing much better.
"Alright class, today we shall begin with names..."
"A--Alex Kasuragi!" The teacher's pointer had come to her, and eventually shifted to the other who had gotten detention.
"Carl Utaru."
"Bleeeh...." Alex sighed, staggering into the detention hall. "This sucks..." The day had ended, and Alex's day had not gotten better. She huffed, meeting up with the boy from her first class, named Carl Utaru.
"This sucks," he noted.
"Tell me about it..." Alex wasn't much of a conversationalist. She didn't really like to strike up mindless conversation, especially when she had time to feel sorry for herself. That was HER time.
A loud sign on the door to the room read "YOU HAVE BEEN VERY BAD!" Alex and Carl shrugged the phrase off, stepping in. Alex sat down at one of the steel desks, slowly reaching for her books in her backpack.
"No homework!" A voice called. "This is a time to think about what you've done, you criminals! Time to repay your debt to society!" Alex put her books back, looking up,
"Hey!" She retorted, "We did nothing really wrong, here!" It was the attendance girl, brown hair trailing behind her and fingers pointing at her and Carl. There were no more people in the detention room.
"Why the hell..." a voice spoke from the doorway. It was Alex's good friend, Chiisu Kimura, "...Alex, you got detention... today...?"
Alex nodded, Carl sighed. The girl kept on laughing wickedly at them.
"Yo, Mikiru..." Chiisu sighed, sitting down at the vacant teacher's desk, "...shut up."
"For your information," 'Mikiru' sighed, "that's Melissa Mikiru, to you, PAL!" Chiisu rolled his eyes, putting his feet on the desk,
"Yeah, yeah, M-chan. Listen, I'm stayin' here, okay?"
"Bu-But you don't have detention, do you?!" She was furious.
"I'm staying here. And besides, how the hell does a little brat like you get assigned to detention duty?"
"Li...Little...B...You...you..." Melissa's nostrils and eyes were flaring with rage. She sighed and shrugged it off, sitting on a nearby stool in the large white room. Digging her fingernails into the chair, then relaxing, she spoke softly,
"...So what're your guys' plans after this...?"
Chiisu eyed her,
"Well... Alex, what do ya want to do?"
Alex blushed ever so slightly,
"W-What?! Me...?!"
"Yeah...wanna do somethin' after this stupid little social event is over?"
She nodded swiftly. Chiisu's ever-watching eyes fell on Carl at the other side of the room, sitting quietly with his head in his hands.
"Yo...you, whatever your name is..."
Carl looked up at Chiisu. His blue eyes suddenly closed again when he said,
"No. I have plans."
"Uh-huh... sure..." Chiisu sighed, leaning back in his chair. "So, I believe we don't quite know each other here... now do we...?" He sat back up and stood. Carefully, he printed his name in katakana, hirigana, Kanji, and english print "KIMURA CHIISU". They could all see his slim build with wide shoulders, his tanned skin, his mysterious eyes.
"Now, class," he muttered, snatching Melissa's glasses and thrusting them to his nose, doing his best 'scientist' impression, coming off more as a fifteen year old trying his best to be Russian, "my name is Chiisu Kimura. I am fifteen years old and my birthday is October thirteenth. I was, indeed, born on a Friday the 13th. And, also, I was held back one year in school back in..." he hesitated, "...fifth grade..." his eyes got strange behind the glasses. "...I was absent a little too much..."
"Why?" Melissa scoffed, grabbing for her glasses and gently putting them to her eyes, "You'd have to miss quite a bit of school... where were you?"
Chiisu's eyes closed as he said with a stern tone,
"That is not for you to know."
Melissa refrained from speaking. Carl looked at them all, moaning,
"I'm hungry."
"Too bad," Alex sighed, trying to feel sorry for herself.
"I got some crap," Chiisu nodded, "in my backpack..." He took out a bag of nacho chips, which Carl immediately seized and dragged back into his corner, in a similar fashion to a rodent.
"Aren't you going to share...?" Alex whined, getting a little hungry herself. Carl's blonde-haired head shook violently.
"NO, NO, NO!!"
Chiisu smiled,
"Tell us about yourself, then. As payment for the chips."
"Uhh..." Carl stopped eating, a chip dangling dangerously out of his mouth, "...I'm Carl Utaru. I like photography."
"Really, that's so interesting!" Melissa sarcastically noted. Alex kept on whining about the chips.
"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease?!"
"NO!"
"...I hate you."
Chiisu laughed. Melissa shook her head. Carl kept on eating. Alex kept on moaning and feeling sorry for herself.
Four children from different lives, the same world. Who knew that this day would change everything...That soon they'd all be fighting for thier very survival and the fate of the world?!
After about a half hour, the teacher's computer began to beep. Chiisu, already at the desk, stared at it with vacant, expressionless eyes. He had obviously fallen asleep somehow. Alex looked up,
"What's up, Chii?"
"A little more than the ceiling..." he replied, clicking away at the keyboard and the mouse. Melissa started to freak out.
"C--MISTER KIMURA! How dare you defile an educator's techonlogy...?!"
"Shut up!" Carl screamed from his pile of chips he refused to share.
"YOU SHUT UP!" Melissa screeched. Chiisu held up a hand for silence. His eyes reflected the flickering computer screen and his own worry.
"Chii...?" Alex questioned.
"...everybody," he spoke softly, slowly getting up and away from the computer, "...get out of the room..."
"What?!"
"Get out of the room!" He hollered, but too late. Several beams of light soon erupted from the computer screen, coming swiftly at each of them. It was too bright to see. All of them, with the exception of Chiisu, started screaming until the light died down.
"What's this...?" Carl thought aloud. He held a small technological gadget in his hand, red in colour. Melissa, Chiisu, and Alex had their own also. Alex frowned at her blue one as Chiisu paced around staring at his own green one,
"What the hell...?" His eyes opened wide, as if he had just had a revelation. "Guys..." he spoke, "I know what these are."
"What?" They all cried in unison. The tan-skinned boy sighed with a tiny, mysterious smile on his face,
"...Digivices..."
The other three stared at Chiisu with blankened faces,
"What?"
Chiisu sat back in the teacher's chair, noting to himself, "These are just like..." He closed his eyes and looked deep in thought.
"AHHHHH!!"
All of them were suddenly drawn to the computer... no... into the computer...
Alex awoke to Chiisu's voice.
"Eh...?" She muttered. "What the hell happened?"
Chiisu looked around. The two of them were in a cave, and certainly not the detention room.
"Chiisu...Where are we?" Alex questioned as he leered about the outside of the cave.
"I have my guesses..." He replied as he grabbed Alex's hand.
"W-Where are we going now?!"
"I think it's called La Ville Capital..."
Melissa and Carl weren't off as good as they were.
"AAAH!"
"AAAAH!" The two of them shouted, running for their lives from a gigantic boar-like creature. Melissa, in her stylish shoes with high heels, tripped and landed with her face in the mud.
"M-M-chan! Get up!" Carl screeched as tears streamed down his face. They were scared. The beast slowed down and was ready to attack his prey...
"AAAAAAH!"
Chiisu and Alex strode along. Chii had found a stick and carried it cautiously at his side. Alex noticed strange creatures, large and small, dash about. The sky was a fusion of a light blue and purple, and the air was clean. Fresh, chartreuse grass stretched as far as the eyes could see, streamlined with glossy trees and colourless, lucid crystal flowers. She sniffed hesitantly at the smogless air, unused to the breeze of a clear summer day (though it was fall).
"It's nice here..." she sighed tiredly, her lungs filling with a smell not unlike lilacs. Chiisu closed his eyes as he paced along the grassy road.
"Yeah..."
"Where are we, Chiisu?" She asked again. "Are we even still in our world, or something?" She laughed loudly while he replied with a stern look,
"No. We aren't in our world anymore, Alex."
There was an awkward silence.
"...Wh...What?"
"We aren't in our world anymore..." He sighed, reaching a mailbox like tree at the fork in the road they walked. "This is the Dejitaru."
"The...Dejitaru...?" She parroted.
Chiisu ran his fingers along the mailbox-tree and found a little slot. He spoke loudly into it,
"Hello?"
His comrade was confused. Even more confused when the tree shouted back,
"HELLO! HOW MAY I HELP YOU TODAY, KIMURA-SAN?"
After he recovered from the shock of a tree talking to him (or just the loudness...?), he replied,
"Yes, I have two favours for you... one, please direct my accomplice and I to La Ville Capital."
The tree quivered,
"I DON'T KNOW, KIMURA-SAN! THERE IS A CHAO-FI TRAINING SESSION ON THE SCHEDULE!"
"Then were going to watch," he shrugged. "Which way?"
Alex was even more silent as the mailbox-tree grew a limb with a gloved hand, which pointed to the left side of the fork in the road.
"Thank you," Chiisu stated with a bow of respect. "And the other, please locate my Partner."
"Partner?" Alex repeated mindlessly.
"GLADLY," the mailbox-tree shouted. "LOCATING DIGIMON: ARMADIMON...FOUND...SUMMONING...TRANSFER COMPLETED...!"
Alex couldn't believe her eyes. A little armadillo-like creature emerged from a sphere of light the mailbox-tree had created. It had large green eyes that welled up with tears as it saw Chiisu.
"CHII-KUN!" It screamed with glee. He embraced the beast as Alex stood, confounded.
"What the hell IS that thing?!" She shouted as she recoiled and soon fell over.
"Sorry, I haven't form'lly intr'duced me'self, yet..." the beast stated. It hopped down from Chiisu's arms and claimed, "My name's Armadimon, and I'm a Digimon."
"A...Digimon...?" She parroted, being it was her only skill at the moment. Chiisu sighed again with a little shrug,
"It's a long story...but in short, this is the Dejitaru (Digital) Sekai (World), and it's inhabitants are monsters known as Digimon..."
"We come in all shapes'n sizes..." Armadimon added.
"...and they make good pals!" Chiisu added with him as he picked Armadimon up and cuddled him.
"I think I'm gonna be sick..." Alex whispered.
"Well, let's get going!" Armadimon, equipped with the directions to their destination, beckoned to Alex to follow as they started their journey.
Melissa and Carl, both unconscious, were carried swiftly away by the giant, many limbed boar. Had they been with their other party members, they would know this was a Digimon.
Across the vast, dark forest they ran. The boar and it's prey soon reached the large field of mushroom-like silos. The top of the silos were mass amounts of a yellow, bubbling substance. Melissa's eyes opened a little, seeing her glasses were broken. She and Carl were with the boar on top of the mushroom cap of the silo, were the pool of yellow, gunky fluid dwelled. Melissa saw the beast stirring it with one of it's trunks, in which he took it out and ate a little bit of the fluid. Melissa, being brave, decided to see what he was eating. She slowly and cautiously dipped her hand into the pool and took it out with a handful of the substance. With a large gulp, it was all down her throat in an instant.
"Wow!" She shouted. "It's good!"
She had forgotten her situation. The beast suddenly jerked and reached for the two of them and they were submerged.
"Oh, crap..." She thought as she tugged at the trunk spiraled around her and Carl's necks. "I can't die here in this GOD-FORSAKEN PLACE!"
A sudden flash of light pierced into the substance. Blood filled the pool as the trunk binding them went limp. Melissa, dragging Carl along, swam up to the surface and greeted her saviour.
"Th...Thank...you...!" She shouted, bowing her head. Carl was pulled out from the pool by their rescuer. Melissa stared at him... if you could call it a "him".
They were a large person (?) with the legs of a bird. A metal visor was around their eyes and claws like diamonds were suddenly aimed at Melissa's throat.
"What're you thanking us for?" The man (?) stated with two voices in one. "We're just stealing his dinner from him..." He couldn't finish his sentence as he separated into two little creatures: one a white cat with yellow-coloured, clawed gloves and the other, a red bird with purple tail feathers. Even so, the two aimed their claws and wings at the two students,
"We're stealin' you so we can EAT YOU!"
Alex, Chiisu, and Armadimon had trekked a long distance before they reached their destination. A vast city with large skyscrapers, but archaic structure. Roads were constructed fully of cobblestone, and peddler carts were placed around in front of the large buildings, which Alex suspected were hotels. Weapons such as swords and axes were spread about. Human and monster Digimon alike strode about, chatting freely. A large clocktower stood in the middle of the city. Birds and dragon-like spirits few around carelessly in the strange sky. She was amazed.
"Wow...! What is this place?"
"This is La Ville Capital," Armadimon answered, still in Chiisu's arms, "the capital city of the Dejitaru and also where the Grand Council headquarters resides."
It was all a little much for Alex. In one day, she'd been late for her first day of high school, got detention, met new people, went to another world, met strange monsters, and went to an even stranger, though magnificent, city. Her feet soon began to hurt.
"Hey...I got a question...?" She asked in the midst of confusion and amazement. "Where'd Melissa and that fat kid get to?"
Chiisu shrugged, "Maybe they're still in the detention hall. I dunno..." The clocktower chimed loudly in the midst of his sentence.
ATTENTION! ATTENTION! CHAO-Fi TRAINING SESSION EN PROGRESS!
"CHAO-Fi..." Chiisu stated softly. Alex watched as his eyes opened wide with a mysterious rage. He nearly broke the stick he had been carrying as he strode forward on the cobblestone road.
"Chii...Chii-kun!"
"What do you mean, eat us?" Melissa laughed as she snatched the cat off the ground and stroked her ears. "You're too cute to be cannibals!" The bird was laughing quietly as the cat struggled.
"Hey, in this world, it's either eat or be eaten!"
"I think he's got some food..." Melissa thought aloud, reaching into Carl's backpack and retrieving a bag of potato chips. "Here! "
"What in the name of the gods are these?" The bird asked her with questionable eyes.
"Uhh...food?"
The cat, obviously starving, threw a sharp paw into the bag and drew some of the food out and into her mouth. After about a minute, the bag was no more (yes, even the bag... OO?) and the two creatures were satisfied.
"So..." Melissa asked, "...what's your names?"
"Me," the cat answered, "I'm Tailmon, and this is my accomplice, Hawkmon."
"Your names both end in 'mon'...are you related...?"
"No way!" Hawkmon, the bird, replied indignantly. "We are Digimon."
"Digimon...?"
Chiisu stopped dead in his tracks soon enough. Alex stopped breathing. Armadimon was just as frightened.
The three of them soon faced down an army. Literally, thousands upon thousands upon thousands of creatures, fighting each other brutally. Chiisu, esoteric eyes aflare, lunged forward into the fray. Armadimon followed.
"What the...!"
Chiisu, armed with nothing but his stick, slashed violently at each one that crossed his "line of death". Armadimon followed close after him.
"Chiisu!" He shouted.
"Got it!" Chiisu snatched his device he'd recieved in the detention hall. It began to emit a strange light that shaped itself into numbers and letters. The boy, throwing the device up, shouted,
"GTx FORMULA -- EVOLUTION!"
Armadimon, jumping up to the device in the air, was encircled by the light.
"Armadimon -- GTx Evolution!" Chiisu shouted again, "ANKYLOMON!"
Everything, or at least something, Alex had known about Armadimon in the past hour was immediately obselete. The tiny armadillo had turned into a large beast with a spiked shell, tail, claws, and forehead.
"Nice to see, ya, Ankylomon," Chiisu nodded with a smile. The beast nodded also, aiming Armadimon's eyes at his friend.
"Let's kick some ass, shall we?" The beast gunted.
"Oh, please, after you," Chiisu joked, readying his "staff" -- a stick.
"Thank you, Kimura-san...!"
And the two began their bloody fight in the large crowd.
Alex stood behind the roadblock.
"What the hell is going on?!"
Atop the clocktower stood three ominous figures. A tall woman stood with a flowing red coat,
"Well, look at the shrimp, now," she stated, her voice as cold as ice. Her hair was long and a blue that matched her voice. Her eyes were hidden behind purple glasses. A spear hung in a sheath on her back.
"That's Kimura, eh?" Another of the three spoke, a tall, mummylike man with bandages trailing after him. A large rifle stood at his side. Only one of his eyes were visible, the other only supposedly existed, covered in bandages.
The third was silent in reply. His hands were fastened tightly to his arms. His eyes were unseen as they moved apathetically behind purple-tinted, gold-rimmed glasses.
"C'mon, Kaiser," the woman cackled. "Shall we teach the boy a lesson, trying to revive the Dejitaru Rebels?"
"Yea--Yeah! What if he's gained support!?" The mummylike phantom shouted.
"It doesn't matter," a tyrannical voice came from the third. Unfolding his arms, he stood. "No matter how much support they gain, they won't be able to handle the CHAO-Fi."
"Or us, for that matter," the phantom added with a laugh. "We are the best Fighters, right?"
The third one hesitated. His head was covered with messy blue hair and looked as if each strand conducted mass amounts of electricity. He wore an imperial outfit, in which his cloak trailed behind him as he stated commandingly,
"Let's go."
Chiisu saw figures moving on the tops of the skyscrapers near the clocktower. He growled and ran, leaving the rest of the work to Armadimon/Ankylomon. Alex still stood, amazingly confounded. Chiisu found himself yelling as he lunged up to the top of the building with super-human ability. He encountered a group of three "people".
"DISPERSE!" The woman cried as the two went opposite directions. The spiky blue-haired tyrant stood his ground, as this was his role in the tactic.
Chiisu's stick/battlestaff, worn with the blood of his enemies, closed in on him. The tyrant, human in appearance, grabbed the weapon swiftly without even looking at Chiisu. The boy, his weapon lodged in the hand of his enemy and he himself hung nearly a mile from the ground in midair, scowled.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Chiisu screamed. The tyrant, his eyes hidden behind the glasses, replied softly,
"That's none of your concern. All you must know is..." He suddenly thrust his other arm into Chiisu's stomach, causing the boy to lose counsciousness, "...I am with the CHAO-Fi."
"CHIISU!" Alex screeched as she attempted to catch Chiisu as he fell. Ankylomon snatched the boy before he made swift impact with the road. The three figures, obviously members, as Alex learned, of the organization known as CHAO-Fi, jumped down and faced Alex, the fallen Chiisu, and Ankylomon. Chiisu was worn out from his quick and victorious battle with thousands of opponents and a single blow from a new opponent. One single hit had brought Chiisu down.
"Please!" Alex pleaded as the three drew nearer. "Don't hurt him! He's just a child!"
"I apologize for that," the woman scoffed, "but he's in our way."
"He's been interfering with our plans in the Dejitaru's government..." The phantom stated slowly, as if he'd suspected Alex were deaf.
"He's just a child!" She shouted again. "He has nothing to do with you!"
"That's enough!" The third, the tyrant, strode forward and stared at Alex with a stern look. "You obviously don't know much about your friend there. As for this once, I was quite relieved that he eliminated so many fighters... really cuts down on our work."
"And believe us...we have enough," the phantom whined. The woman's foot came down on his foot as the blue-haired tyrant spoke with a grin,
"Arachnimon, Mummymon, let's go."
"W-What?!" His two accomplices screamed in unison. The tyrant strode away, and the two were forced to follow.
"Chiisu..." Alex whispered to her unconscious friend, "...who are you...?"
Chiisu had awoken in the detention hall. Alex and Armadimon stood worriedly over him.
"Gah...wh-What happened?! Where's that bastard...?!"
"We're home, Chii..." Alex cried, soon shoving her face into his shoulder and sobbing. "I...I never want to go back there, Chiisu! It's scary! Please tell me we aren't going back!"
"Alex... I think we have to...eventually," Armadimon replied, obviously tired from the Evolution from earlier, "...you've been chosen, Alex. So has Melissa, Carl and Chiisu."
"C...Chosen...?!"
fin
Alex: Who is he?! Who the hell is this "Kaiser" guy?!
Chiisu: "Kaiser" is German for "Emperor"...
Alex: Hey, Chiisu...y'know I...wait...who the hell is THAT?!
Shirubi: Neoww! 3
Alex: WHO THE HELL IS SHE, CHIISU?!
The next episode of DC02 (Alex's love drama, so it seems),
"The Beautiful Associate! Shirubi Joins the Team!"
Ken: Miss it and die.
Kai-kun: YEAH!
Alex: Wait... you two haven't even been introduced yet!
Ken/Kai-kun: OO;;;; don't ruin our fun.
