Heya, readers!

I noticed this story doesn't have any reviews... But I have a REALLY good ending planned up for you guys!^^ This story is suprisingly well-liked! I HIGHLY appreciate the support! Thanks a-lot, UtaPri-Fanbase!^^


The Quartet Night walked down the hall, all silent. The hallways were abnormally quiet. Almost... too quiet. That was before Reiji began to speak.
"What do you think President wants?" He asked.
Ranmaru looked at Reiji out of the corner of his purple eye. "You really never know with him." Ranmaru replied with a sigh.
"Unfortunately..." Ai whispered, obviously practicing his robotic-ness before going to talk to Shining Saotome.
Camus folded his arms and closed his eyes. "Tch. Hopefully it is isn't the same thing as last time..." Camus scoweled. "I really didn't want to have anything to do with the STARISH group at all. I got put with a whiney, spoiled, little prince. I am grateful that he and I didn't make very much of a conversation. But I am really glad he is no longer here." He sighed, emphasizing the word "really".
Reiji looked at Camus. "I really liked them coming here! I got to meet new people! And they became popular because of the training we made them do!" Reiji beamed, putting his hands together, obviously in some kind of awe.
"Nah, Reiji... I think they came here with that talent." complimented Ranmaru. He shrugged. "But of course, our training did help indeed." He muttered.
Ai smiled slightly. "I was able to teach Syo-kun some discipline with the very tight schedule... He really needed it. Although, I didn't enjoy waking up at 5AM every morning. I have gotten so used to 5AM, I wake up at that time as a regular thing." Ai sighed. "But I guess it was worth it." He smiled. They reached the door which contained the ever-so-crazy Shining Soatome. Reiji of course, was the one to knock. You could hear a shuffling noise before an awkwardly sounding,"Coooooome iiiiin~" The group didn't really seem bothered by the unique personality of the President. They walked in. Ranmaru plopped himself in a chair in front of the desk. He ran his fingers through his silver spikes. Reiji sat down in a chair as well, but he was more poised than Ranmaru was when it came to sitting. Ai and Camus remained standing. Shining Soatome grinned like the Cheshire Cat, seeing them there. "Wellllcoooome Baaaack, Quaaaarteeeet Niiiiight~" He purred. "I caaalled yoou all heeere for a reeeeaaassooon... Yes! A reaason indeeeed~" He turned the lights off in the room, pulling a screen down from the wall. He turned on the projector, which projected on the huge white screen. It was a powerpoint. The four Quartet Night members looked at the abnormally odd presentation. "Quartet Night was ONCE Famous... But is now starting to slip into the shadows! Because they have not made songs or done anything related to their career at all! I do not want to loose a client, now do I? Of course not!" He pointed at a line chart, that showed a decreasing zig-zag line. "Here is what you must do.. You all MUST create a new song! It must be catchy. It must have meaning. It must have the one thing EVERY song must have to survive the music industry~!" Shining Soatome beamed. He somehow appeared infront of Ranmaru, his index finger on Ranmaru's chest, where his heart should be. "And that is heeeaaartt~!" Ranmaru glared at Shining Soatome, as he didn't like being touched. Shining Soatome pulled his finger away from Ran's chest. "Do you four understaaaand?" He asked, actually expecting questions.
"Understood." Quartet Night replied with a nod.
"Gooooooood~ Now go write a puuuuurrrfect song!" He said, pretty much shooing them from the room. They all stood up, and left, obviously catching on to what Soatome was getting at. They went to their rooms.
After they grabbed notebooks and pens, they made their way to the lounge, one by one. Ai happened to be the first one to show up. He was sitting in the white chair, legs crossed, notebook in lap, writing. The white chair and white outfit he was wearing, made his hair stand out. Reiji was the next to show up. He sat in the chair next to the lamp on the other side of the room, a bit away from Ai's seat next to the window. Ranmaru came in next, wearing all black, and being rid of his eyeliner. Without eyeliner, Ranmaru still looked absolutely irrisistable, but tired. He plopped down on the couch, beginning to write with his fountain pen that wrote in black. Camus was, abnormally, last to get to the room. He sat in a chair close to Reiji and began to write as well.
"Who has an idea for a song?" Ranmaru asked, breaking the silence of the room.
"Well... We know that we have to combine everything and whatnot... It MUST be fast!" Reiji beamed.
"Fast is good... But we have to have at least a part that slows down. People love those parts." Camus responded to Reiji's statement. Ai looked at them.
"What about a song about rising again?" He asked.
"That seems really interesting, Mikaze." Camus responded.
Reiji looked at Ai. "Oh goodness yes! Because it is truuuue~ We ARE rising again, pretty much!" He beamed, using the same awe-struck look as before they entered the room os Shining Soatome.
Ranmaru's face flashed a grin. "I like that thought, Ai. Keep it up."
Ai smiled and nodded. As Ai began to write again, Shining Soatome burst through the door, with an unusually unique fashion. "Mikaaaaazzzzeeeee Aiiiiii~ Your Professor wiiishhes to speaaak to yooou~ He mentioned something about a cheeck-uuup~" Shining beamed, being at least two inches from Ai's face. Ai looked at him and nodded. He put the notebook down and left the room, with Shining Soatome following behind him.
"Hm.. Weird.. I thought the check-up-slash-update-thing was supposed to be a few months from now..." Reiji whispered, pouting.
"You really never know with his professor... It is as if he finds something new and decides he wants AiAi to test it out or something." Ranmaru shrugged, continuing to write.
"Tch. Hopefully it is a good update. He has been needing one for quite some time." Camus replied, putting his pen down and facing Ranmaru.
"I think that the update really isn't needed, being as he's perfect just the way he is, Camus." Ranmaru practically hissed at the blonde.
"Perfect?! Perfect you say?! He is FAR from perfect, Kurosaki." Camus sneered.
"He will always be perfect in my eyes, Camus." Ranmaru replied simply.
"Oh in your eyes! Your Heterochromatic eyes, Kurosaki! You have a high chance of being blind!" Camus hissed.
"Fuck you, blondie." Ranmaru responded, writing.
"Enough you two! Violence is never the answer!" Reiji said, standing up from his chair, ready to break up any physical fight.
Ranmaru looked up at Reiji. Camus was still glaring at Ranmaru. "You know that Mikaze cannot feel. He will never feel. That is how it is meant to be. It will always remain that way too." Camus hissed.
"Okay that's it." Ran said, slamming his notebook and pen on the coffee table in front of him. He stood up and came to Camus. He grabbed Camus by his shirt and slammed him into the wall. "Ai WILL feel! Ai WILL love! He WILL be normal! He will be mine! ALL MINE. And there will be nothing you can do about it! Ai WILL get a FULL ba'dump! Even if I die trying. I will NOT give up!" Ranmaru hissed. Reiji's eyes filled with horror. he rushed to Ran and Camus. He tried to separtate the two. He eventually managed to separate them. Camus simply patted the wrinkles down in his shirt and sat down, leaving a pissed off Ranmaru with Reiji. Reiji frowned. He took Ran's hand and brought him outside of the room. He looked at Ran in his eyes. "I agree with you, RanRan... Ai will love... Just don't listen to stubborn-o'le Camus... He isn't worth fighting... I believe in you RanRan.. You can make Ai love... You have pretty much succeeded up to now... Keep going... There will be obstacles along the way... But you have to surpass them. " Reiji whispered, trying to calm the enraged RanRan down. Ranmaru looked at Reiji and smiled. He nodded. Reiji smiled. "Thank you... We do not need somebody getting hurt... And we all know who is going to get-" Reiji began
"Definitely Camus." Ranmaru chuckled, of course, as arrogant as usual.
Reiji giggled and nodded. "That is probably true.." He smiled. He brought Ranmaru back into the room. Camus was standing on the other side of the room, looking out the window.
"Stop talking to birds, Camus, they won't listen to your bullshit." Ranmaru chuckled, plopping on the couch. Reiji frowned, seeing Camus glare daggers at Ranmaru. Ranmaru flipped him off before getting back to the work at hand.
About three or four hours later, Ranmaru put his notebook on the table. He rubbed his eyes and ran his fingers through his spikes. He had been listening to music so the silence wouldn't ruin the song. "Hopefully they don't sound like any other song." He whispered. Then Ai walked in. He seemed... different. Distant. Ranmaru jumped up from the couch and ran over to Ai. "Welcome back, AiAi!" He whispered in the 15 year old's ear.
"Excuse me, Ranmaru-senpai...? Why are you hugging me?" Ai asked, his voice sounding different. Ranmaru blinked, he pulled back, looking hurt. "I have told you before... you do not have to add the -senpai to my name... And I am hugging you because- Remember? I..."
Ai looked at Ranmaru. "I am afraid I have no memory of what I did yesterday, oddly enough." He whispered. Hearing this, Ranmaru grabbed his partner's hand and dragged him off to a room, horrified. He locked the door and sat in a chair. "Come here, AiAi." He whispered. Ai looked at him and nodded. Mikaze made his way over to Ranmaru. Ran made Ai sit in his lap, making him face Ranmaru. "You don't remember... anything?" He whispered, the mere thought made his voice tremble in fear. Ai looked at Ranmaru, before saying,"I don't remember anything that happened yesterday..." He whispered. This made Ranmaru frown. "We are... boyfriends..." Ranmaru whispered.
Ai tilted his head. "Oh really? When did that happen?" He asked. Ranmaru frowned. "This happened yesterday... after a game we played with the members of STARISH... you know... our kouhai?" He asked, hopefully.
"A game? What was it like?" AI asked, getting off subject. Ranmaru shook his head. "No no. We must stay on this subject, AiAi." He whispered. Ai nodded. Ranmaru remembered something. He took out his black phone and looked through it. "What about this, AiAi?" He asked, showing a picture of Ai and himself. They were both naked, but lower parts were covered up by a blanket, as they had just finished. Ai looked at the picture. "I vaguely remember that.." He whispered. He looked at the picture, observing it still. "Oh! And do you remember what I told you about these?" He asked, moving Ai's hair away from his neck, revealing a red mark on his neck, that Ranmaru had made previously. Ai touched the mark with his fingers. "It means that you got fucked." He whispered, obviously catching onto the memories of the previous day. "There you go!" Ranmaru whispered.
"I don't understand why I do not remember, RanRan.." He whispered.
Ranmaru shrugged. "Perhaps the new update erased the feelings by mistake." He whispered. "Now... do you remember this?" He asked, removing his shirt, taking Ai's hand and placing it on his chest. Ai felt a beat and looked at his hand on Ranmaru's chest. "Ba'dump... Ba'dump..." He whispered, moving his hand and putting his ear on Ranmaru's chest. Ranmaru noticed a bruise on Ai's wrist, obviously looking like a struggle wound. "What happened to your wrist?" Ranmaru asked, attempting not to sound pissed, but ended up sounding pissed otherwise.
Ai looked at his wrist. "I really do not-" His eyes widened. A tear fell from his face. "I do remember..." He whispered.
"Then please... Do explain." Ranmaru whispered, petting Ai's hair. It was silky, which making Ranmaru pet his hair. Ai looked down. "I went to Shining Soatome's office... I saw my 'dad' or as he as known as 'Professor'... He told me to come with him, so I did... We went to his lab... He began to do his normal check-ups... Until he saw an emotion in my eyes... Love... He was absolutely outraged... I tried to run... He grabbed my wrist. I felt like it could have broken... After that, he sat me down and asked me a few questions about the emotion.. I answered all the questions... I never gave him your name... So he rebooted my system... and I had forgotten everything about yesterday... And I no longer have a ba'dump..." He whispered, crying.
Ranmaru frowned, hearing this terrifying news. He hugged Ai tightly. "No matter how many times you get reset... I will try to make you love... I will prove that robots can love... I can and will. No matter how many times it happens... I will be here to remind you." Ranmaru assured in AiAi's ear. Ai looked up at Ran and smiled. "Really?" He asked, blushing slightly.
"You grew a rose... Of course." He replied, kissing Ai's forehead. This caused Ai to hug RanRan tightly.
"We might need to get back before the other two start to worry... But first, I'd like to ask you a favor." Ranmaru whispered. Ai looked at Ranmaru, as if saying to continue. A Cheshire grin spread across his face. He leaned in and whispered it to Ai. Ai snickered and nodded. Ai stood up and left the room. Ranmaru followed behind him.
Reiji looked up at the two entering the room. "Welcome back!" Reiji beamed.
Ai looked at Reiji. "Thank you, Reiji-senpai." He whispered. Hearing this, Camus grinned. "Feeling anything, Mikaze?" He asked. Ai shook his head. "A robot doesn't feel any emotions... Just like you said.." He responded. Reiji frowned, hearing this. Ai looked at Reiji and winked. Reiji smiled and nodded, seeing that Ai wasn't so serious at that moment. "Good." Camus snickered.
"But, Camus, get a load of this." Ranmaru said, in his cocky voice. Camus' head turned to find Ranmaru kissing Ai. Camus' eye twitched. "Robots cannot feel, Mikaze." He hissed.
"Incorrect, Camus. We can choose whether or not we feel or not. There may not be a heart or anything there. We may be a big pile of metal and intelligence... But I will prove to you that I can feel love." He responded, in his robotic-high-pitched voice. This response caused a smile to swipe across Ran's face. He picked Ai up and hugged him tightly. Camus looked, pissed seeing this sight. Reiji clapped. "I am glad AiAi can love!" He beamed.
Camus left, in a fit of rage.


So how was that chapter? I know.. Poor Ai and getting reset, right? So. Currently Ai has no ba'dump... Will he gain one back? Or is his new and improved database too powerful and stops the emotions from happening? We will have to find out!^^

P.S. I know this is a rather short chapter.. I plan on longer ones though! Do not fret!^^

Review!^^
