Ch.2 Zwilling
Days later Julia's research on the Lucy clone she created was impeded by the personality that it was given; which was supposed to reflect her original with modifications. The clone was named Freya Rubedo, and she was also in charge of keeping the sipleits docile while Julia wasn't using the lullaby to augment their instincts. The worst progress was the breeding; Rubedo refuses to accept any males as a mate. Frustrated Julia vents her anger to Yuki who's acting much more melancholic than how he was days ago.
"Why isn't this working we've spent so much time into this project and now where being stalled by stubbornness!"
"Julia you can't force love. you're forgetting something"
"What would that be!?"
"She may be a replica but she's still a living person if she wants what the original wants so…"
"We find the male the original wants then we can breed her, of course"
"No Julia that's not what I…"
"Shut up Yuki you don't know what you're talking about"
Julia pulls out a cell phone and dials a number. The receiver was Hiro and was ordered by Julia to locate Lucy and find the male she wants.
"Don't order me around Julia"
"Quit arguing and find our Adam!"
"Fine and look into what I asked about"
"Oh that well…"
At the Kaede house Yuka and Nyu get ready to go grocery shopping while Kouta finishes cleaning the house since Mayu was still at school, and Nana was walking Wanta.
"Oh man why do I get stuck cleaning the house?" Kouta asks irritated
"Because we need more food and we can't leave Nyu alone can we" Yuka answers with a grin
Kouta sighs heavily and gets ready to clean. Yuka and Nyu get to the grocers and buy what's needed. Nyu wanders off while Yuka is finishing the shopping for an unknown reason and fails to notice. Nyu wanders to what caught her attention which was a young man talking on a cell phone. He wore a long sleeved white shirt, and navy jeans, with white tennis shoes.
"Thanks send Freya she needs…exercise plus I want her to see you know what"
Unable to hear what the person on the other end is saying Nyu just stands wondering. The young man ends the phone call, and Nyu suddenly becomes uninterested in the young man. He looks at her with a polite smile.
"Can I help you with something?" He asks politely
"Nyu?"
Nyu points to his cell phone to which he responds confused.
"My cell phone?"
Yuka runs to Nyu calling her name and apologizes to the young man.
"Oh no it's alright. she seems adventurous" He exclaims
"Oh she can be; again I'm sorry if she bothered you"
"Don't apologize in fact…"
The young man reaches into his pocket and pulls out 500 yen and hands it to Nyu.
"Here get yourself some candy or something"
Nyu gleefully takes the yen.
"Well thank uhh what's your name?" Yuka asks
"Oh I'm Hiro Hiro Sakigami" The young man introduces
"Nice to meet you Hiro I'm Yuka and this is Nyu"
Hiro and Yuka bow while introducing themselves, Nyu imitates them.
"Well it was nice meeting you. Hope I can see you two around sometime"
Yuka and Nyu leave the young man they just met and get back to the house after buying sweets for everyone; using the 500 yen piece and a little bit to afford everyone a treat. As Hiro sees them leave he thinks to himself.
"(From this distance through a phone what else can Julia's creation do… I'd better keep an eye on her)"
Back at the house a little while later Mayu and Nana have returned to the house, and greet everyone home. Yuka talks about the young she and Nyu met earlier, and Kouta disapproves.
"You shouldn't talk with strangers like that Yuka. He could have done something Nyu" Kouta says worried
"Hmm what about me Kouta?" Yuka asks irritated
"Nyu doesn't know better; YOU do"
While Kouta and Yuka argue Nana and Mayu talk about Cipher trying to learn more about her.
"I didn't see her today; actually she was absent" Mayu says a little surprised
"She was why did she fail a test or something?"
"Uh no it doesn't work like that Nana; I think she was sick with a cold or something like that"
Nana ponders about something especially since days earlier Cipher asked about Mayu's parents and seemed displeased about the answer. While still thinking about Cipher Mayu hears knocking at the door; she answers it since Kouta and Yuka were arguing. At the door were a couple of police officers who began asking Mayu questions since they were here to talk with her. Apparently some days ago Mayu's mother and her husband went missing, and no one has seen or heard from them in a while. Hearing about her stepfather brought up painful memories; Mayu answers the officer's questions and they leave. Mayu went back to the the dining room, and told Kouta and Yuka what she just heard.
In the night of the city Freya walks the streets under direct orders to find the male whom she chooses. She is wearing a red sweatshirt, and hoodie with black pants and red shoes. After a while of walking round the city with a great temptation to kill the humans around her for their selfish personalities; this is pushed over the edge when she overhears and teenaged couple in the alley way next to her. They have malicious smiles on their faces, and are talking about messing with a friend of theirs for stupid reasons. Apparently they intend to mess with their targets emotions to break him. Disgusted at this Frey clenches her teeth (Having some of her originals memories) remembering how much it hurts to be toyed with, and enters the alley to talk with the two.
"You two disgust me" Freya says disgusted
"Who are you?" The girl asks
"Why why are you planning to mess with someone in such a way?"
"I have no reason to explain it to you, you wouldn't understand" The boy retorts
"Understand? Of course I wouldn't I'm not a pathetic selfish primate unlike you two"
"Pathetic you say I'll have you know that the reason we're doing this is because…" The boy attempts to explain
"Not interested besides it's not like you'll live to see you're childish petty ambitions come true"
Freya uses her vectors on the two's throats cutting their vocal cords, preventing them from screaming, and then the sounds heard are the sounds of ripping and spilling. After finishing Freya exits the alley completely clean; as she walks down the streets repulsed by the people she just encountered she thinks about the boy her original loved. Due to not completely having the originals memories she can only remember his face and not his name. The harder she thinks the more her head begins to hurt; this completely infuriates her to no end. Trying to get her mind of her thoughts she walks to the shore and look at the sea even though it's dark. Upon reaching the shore Freya sits down on the sand, and tries to think of other things. This is put to a stop when she begins to rummage through the sand, and finds a small pink shell which causes her to have a short flashback; causing a massive headache, and faint for a time.
At the facility Julia sings the lullaby to control the girls into finding what she is looking for. Communicating via intercom all she gets are news that the girls can't find what Julia longs for the most at this time.
"I've put too much time as it is!?" Julia shouts
A knock comes at the office door and Yuki enters the room with a young girl at his side.
"What do you want Yuki I am very busy?" Julia asks irritated
"Julia please calm down, we found her" Yuki responds very calmly
Julia's eyes widen and she gets a surprised smile.
"You found her but how all the others couldn't find her"
"Well you shouldn't underestimate my daughter is that right Cipher?" Yuki says smiling to girl at his side
"That's right daddy we found her together" The girl says smiling
Julia begins to snicker and laugh out loud with clear satisfaction.
"Finally after all this time I'll get what I've lost back hahahah!"
"Julia calm down please this is bad for your throat"
"I'm just so happy… Cipher you've earned the reward I promised the one who found her congratulations"
"Daddy what does the doctor mean reward?"
"Julia please she's made a friend at school"
"Like that matters all the humans will die soon enough besides I need a test subject"
"Julia!" Yuki shouts
""sigh" Very well she has one week to say goodbye"
Reluctant Yuki nods his head and rubs Cipher's head. Deeper in the facility Hiro is hunting down survivors from the attack on the facility. After dispatching the ones he found, he sees a large door with a pool of dried blood in front of it, the door had the number 35 on it.
