Chapter 2 Encounters

***DISCLAIMER ~ Gravitation is not mine. OC is. Thank you***

Allie's beauty was unique in her own way. She was medium height and medium built with blond hair and blue eyes. Here face was angled but with a bit of plump to it. You never would have guessed that she was half Japanese. In fact she looked American or Nordic. The irony was not lost on her as she knew she had a half brother who also looked half American but in fact was pure Japanese.

Half brother... There she was allowing herself to think such thoughts. She scoffed at herself in the bathroom mirror. It wasn't a dream or a wish of hers to joins the Uesugi family and creat "family memories". She did like to learn about them and she payed attention when she could but she always assumed there was no life for her there.

Here she was now, in Japan, hiding in a hotel room waiting for her flight time. It took a while for her handlers to send over the proper documentation since Ryuichi and K kind of forgot to grab hers while executing their grand plan. Speaking of annoying idiots, there was Ryuichi's number on her phone again. She was livid at him and had already dodged his called for a day now.

Picking up the phone she answered it giving in to her feelings for the singer. "I'm beyond pissed at you," she said.

"I know," came a quite reply. "But I want to make it better. Where are you staying? Please let me come over."

With a sigh and a forgiving heart Allie gave Ryuichi her hotel address and number.

"I'll be over shortly," Ryuichi said. As he hung up the phone he turned to the others in the room. "Here's her address," he said handing Tohma the paper, "she'll never talk to me again but if it's as important as you say it is... I trust you."

Tohma thanked him and reassured him that Allie would forgive his transgressions and left NG headquarters with his guest in tow.

30 minutes latter Tohma and Uesugi-sama were knocking on Allies hotel door.

Allie checked her doors peak hole before opening to her guest. Gasping she drew away from the door and almost clasped to the floor. Tohma knocked again this time a bit harder. How could this be! Everything was supposed to be taken care of. She knew some of this mans past. She knew he would agree with her. He would not want to upset his precious Uesugi family. Why? How could he have brought the elder Uesugi to her door like this?

It wasn't lost on her that she had been betrayed by Ryuichi. She liked the man regardless of his occasional childish attitude. It had not occurred to her she would feel so betrayed like she did right at that moment. Knowing what he did.

Tohma knocked a third time much harder than the last two times.

Refortifying her defenses Allie reached for the door knob. Regardless of Ryuichi's betrayal some events have been put into motion and now she had to stand up against what may be her greatest foe she will ever face. The husband of her "mother".

Opening the door with a blank face she looked Uesugi-sama in the face and greeted him. "Welcome. Obviously you two were not who I was expecting to see. Please come in."

Though Allie let her unwanted guests into the hotel room everything was far from comfortable. No one took a seat, no refreshments were offered, and no present greetings were shared. All three people stood ridged and adverted their eyes. Allie watched out the window for a few minuets trying to process her thoughts and ignore all feelings.

Uesugi-sama cleared his throat, "Did you receive the letter I sent you a few years back?"

"I did," Allie confirmed, "As I had already told Seguchi-san I did not want to uproot or dishonor your family by my sudden existence."

Uesugi-sama gave a kind of dry laugh and said, "I have two sons that already do that on a regular basis." He crossed the floor and took Allie by the hand. "My wife died before she got the chance to introduce you to your family. It had always been a dream to have you grow up along side your siblings. Due to the research you had to stay in the lab for a few years first. It was never her intention to have you so far away from us."

Allie was trembling at his words. She did not know what to say or how to feel. Yes indeed she was raised in a science lab. It wasn't until she was properly trained that she was aloud to leave and live on her own around the age of 18. After all learning to live and be amongst the civilians was a large part of her duty and purpose in life. She had read Uesugi-sama's letter but brushed it off. Hearing him say such words with so much care and kindness in his eyes brought a overwhelming flood of feelings to Allie that she have almost refused to allow herself to feel this way.

Ryuichi had occasionally brought on such a large amount of feelings into Allies heart. He after all was a lover of hers but because of her up brining and her true purpose in life she had always kept a distance. The current events were proving to compromise her feelings and her mission in a way Ryuichi had never been able to master.

Uesugi-sama squeeze her hand a bit tighter and continued, "I know this is a large change and commitment. All I ask is that you stay for a little while and bless an old man with your presence."

Allie looked deeply into the mans eyes and saw that he truely cared. "I need a day to think and talk to my handlers regarding the situation. It is true, the decision for me to stay away from Japan has been of my own making. My only want was to not leave a black mark on the memory of your wife in the eyes of your children. I have respect for her."

Uesugi-sama and Tohma nodded yes to this and agreed to give her a day to think things over.

As her guest left the building she gave her dear Ryuichi a call to have him over to the hotel after all. She needed a brake from thinking and she owed him an explanation an an apology of her own.
