The Doctor stood at the main console, trying to think things over. It had been about a day since he had found the girl but she hadn't woken up yet. He decided to check on the Master and the girl and went down the hall to the room he had made for her. But when he got there the door was open and she was gone. The Doctor panicked and ran out of the room, heading for the Master's room. When he got there he burst through the door to find something very unusual.
The Master was lying asleep in bed, and next to him, curled up at his chest was the girl. "Master?" the Doctor asked. He walked over to the bed and shook the Master's shoulder. The Master sleepily opened his eyes and jumped when he saw the girl next to him. He fell off the bed and the Doctor laughed, helping him up. The girl sat up and rubbed her eyes, obviously still tired and wondering why she had been woken up.
"What the hell is she doing here?" the Master asked.
"I was going to ask you the same question, actually," replied the Doctor.
"That's the girl you picked up?" The Master asked, pointing the girl in his bed. "You didn't tell me she was fifteen. Oh for god's sake, she's fifteen and she was in my bed!"
"It looked like she was cuddling with you, actually," the Doctor said, trying to hide his smile.
"Cuddling! I do NOT cuddle!"
The girl wrapped her arms around the Master, taking him by surprise. He stood there, unsure of what to do and kind of uncomfortable. "I think she likes you, Master."
The Master pulled the girl off and backed up. "Great. You picked up a freak."
"Master, be nice. We have no idea if she's even human."
"Why don't you just sonic her or something?"
The Doctor pulled out his sonic screwdriver and buzzed it at the girl, who jumped backwards so fast that she practically did a flip over the bed and landed on the other side on her head. She wrapped her arms around her head and bared her teeth at the Doctor like an angry animal.
The Master raised an eyebrow and smirked. "She hates you."
"That is extraordinary!"
"What, that she hates you so much?"
"No! When I used my sonic screwdriver on her the results were off the charts! She is anything BUT human!"
"I like her," the Master said, laughing.
The girl cautiously made her way around the bed, keeping a wary eye on the Doctor and stood behind the Master like he was a shield.
"Ah, are you scared of the big bad Doctor?" the Master sarcastically asked the girl.
The girl looked up at the Master with big icy blue eyes and hugged him like a toddler would to their mother.
"Yes, she definitely loves you," the Doctor said, making his way to the door. When he passed by the girl she glared at him and held onto the Master tighter, like he was a stuffed animal.
The Master followed the Doctor and the girl walked closely behind, holding onto the Master's arm instead. Though the Master would never tell anyone this, he actually thought it was kind of cute how much she liked him. It made the Master feel good inside when she held onto him, like he actually had worth.
The Doctor led them into one of the medical bays that the Tardis had made. It had an exam table and all the classic things you would find in a medical bay. He patted the exam table for the girl to sit there but she only stared at him. "Master, can you get her to sit?"
"Why should I?" the Master asked.
The Doctor sighed. "Why does everyone find it so necessary to be stubborn?" He grabbed the girl's arm and led her over to the table, though he was very gentle about it. He didn't want to hurt her at all, but she was being quite difficult. He smiled at her and held up two fingers. "How many fingers am I holding up?"
The girl glared at him and stayed silent, making it slightly awkward for the Doctor.
"Ok… Do you have a name?" The Doctor pointed to himself. "Doctor." Then he pointed to the Master. "Master." He pointed to her, wanting her to say her name, or what she was called.
She stared at him now, her eyes curious. Her icy blue eyes looked like they were thinking and the Doctor thought about how they looked like perfect windows into her mind. He could see the thought process and the work she was doing in her mysterious little head and wondered again how she came into existence. "Ka… Kai…" she tried to sound it out and the Doctor smiled at how cute she sounded. "Kaaaaaiiiii….kkkkkoooooo," she said.
"Kaiko?" the Doctor asked.
She looked past the Doctor to the Master and had a blank stare on her face, like she was waiting for his response. "Kaiko," the Master said.
Kaiko's eyes lit up and she jumped off the table, running over to him and hugging him like she hadn't seen him in years.
"So, her name is Kaiko. That means that she's probably had contact with other life forms, that called her Kaiko. Which also means that maybe she's just lost her memory and can't remember anything except for her name."
"Have you figured out what species she is yet?"
"No, I still have no clue as to what she could be. She has the appearance of a human, and yet every one of her cells is foreign to the species. We may have picked up a god."
"Great. You're just so good at screwing things up, aren't you?"
