Michiru stood in the kitchen eating a bowl of chicken ramen quietly. It tasted pretty good and it would keep her going for a while. It helped her contemplate on the new faces she had met earlier. The good thing about Ramen was it took long enough to eat that you could get rid off all the problems on your mind; while also enjoying a tasty treat.

Mao Nonosaka aged 14; openly lesbian and crushing on Hinata. She seemed to have a slight fan girl problem and loved taking pictures. However she seemed harmless enough and proved no harm to Akise. The only danger she proved to be was what she did with the photos when she was done taking them; she shuddered at the thought.

Hinata Hino also 14; her father bred and owned prized breeding dogs. She was a known tomboy and capable of kicking ass very well. Despite her fiery nature she was actually a good person underneath. She had met her kind before; daddy problems with a short temper; an interesting mix.

Then there was Yukiteru Amano aged 15; a quiet, shy boy who by the looks of it was capable of being manipulated and easily influenced. However he seemed to be good natured if not someone of a coward; but she could see why Akise would fall for him. He was just flat out adorable; she would have fun messing with him in the future.

Suddenly she heard footsteps and Akise entered the room. He sat down opposite her quietly but said nothing. He had a look of curiosity and suspicion on his face; she said nothing but could already tell what he was thinking.

"God why was Michiru acting so weird; I mean I know she's protective over me but that was kind of embarrassing. I hope Yuki doesn't hate me now"

She smirked while slurping her noodles; god he really had it bad for that kid. It was kind of adorable though. First love and all; everyone had to go through it at some point. However she wondered if that Amano kid was even into guys? But he was an obvious Uke without question; he radiated innocence.

"Hey Michiru" Akise said firmly his expression the same. He had to know what she had been thinking earlier; she had never acted like that before. She was usually so laid back and kind.

"Hmm?" Michiru said finishing slurping her noodles and chewing on them. He really knew how to pick his moments. Couldn't he wait to talk after she had finished eating?

"Why did you act so weird in front of my friends? I mean I know it's your first time meeting them but Yuki was kind of freaked out when he left" he said suspiciously.

Michiru blinked at him and swallowed her noodles; it was her job as a defence system to protect Aru. If it meant acting what seemed like strange to his friends then so be it; she didn't really know them anyway.

"You brought strangers into our house; I know they are your friends but it's my first time meeting them. I'm not gonna be all girly and cuddly to people I don't even know" Michiru said bluntly. She had been programmed to protect Akise and destroy any threats; if any of these friends hurt Akise she would terminate them without hesitation.

That included love interests; she knew Akise was keen on the Amano kid but if he hurt or tried to harm Akise she would kill him. Deux had ordered her to make sure the game ran smoothly but to take care of any problems.

Akise sighed heavily; he had been worried about Michiru meeting the others because she would get very protective. Since their parents had died she had cared for him and raised him like a mother. "Listen Michiru; I know meeting new people is strange. But I promise you that they are good people. I've known them since I first started school" Akise explained calmly.

Michiru's expression softened; she could see in his eyes how much he cared for them. If Akise was living a normal life without his knowledge of being an artificial human she was fine with that. She would protect him till the end; that was her job after all.

She smiled gently "Very well Akise; I'll try to get to know them a bit more. But just know I won't be kind if they should do anything to hurt you" she warned. It didn't matter how close a person got to you; everyone showed their true colours in serious situations. If just one of them double crossed Akise she would terminate them without hesitation.

Akise smiled "I wouldn't have it any other way" he said fondly. While she could be very stern and protective; Michiru had a good heart. She may have been on the same level as dangerous and Gasai; except she wasn't as manipulative and fucking bat-shit crazy. All her actions ran on passion and love; and the desire to protect.

"You want some food? I made too much noodles so there is extra in the pot" she said casually. She had made chicken ramen soup; but made too much so it would last them a while for snacks. One thing that had come to her naturally upon entering this world was taking care of herself; she could cook just about anything. It was embedded into her DNA to survive.

Akise hummed thoughtfully then got to his feet; free food was free food. While he could just barely cook; Michiru was an expert in the kitchen. With her skills she would make someone a great wife someday. However she had tended to avoid most people who confessed to her at school; her excuse being she didn't like brats.

He made his way to the kitchen and served himself a bowl of ramen; it was still steaming and smelled divine. He then opened the fridge and grabbed some chocolate milk; he did like something sweet with savoury food. Akise was starting to understand why Michiru would act the way she did; it was maternal instincts. With any mammal should someone threaten their offspring or family member they would instantly protect it.

However he would have preferred if she acted in such a way towards Gasai instead of Yukiteru. To have his cousin square off in front of the pigtailed devil he would have taken a front seat. He stifled a laugh at the thought of his cousin flipping Yuno onto her back and pinning her down.

Meanwhile in the kitchen Michiru was reading his thoughts; she heard him mention the word Gasai. From what she could understand he wasn't too keen on her but also seemed to be a threat. Her main goal was to get rid of any threats; but she was not the type to simply attack without question. She would spy on them and gather information until she felt in necessary to attack. She was a defense system after all.

"Deus-sama; are you there?" Michiru said sternly using her telepathy. It made private conversations more interesting. This way she could continue her mission while nobody being any wiser about it.

"I am; what have you gathered so far?" Deux said solemnly. He was glad the observation was going smoothly so far.

"It seems Akise has made relations with other diary holders. They seem harmless but he seems sweet on first" Michiru explained sharply. Considering Akise was mature for his age being an artificial human; it was no wonder he went for the cute types.

"I see; Yukiteru Amano sure seems to be popular one" Deux said thoughtfully his tone surprised. While Yuno Gasai had been his partner in the previous game; he was interested to see what would happen between Akise and Amano.

"I really don't mind who he ends up with; I must say I do find Yaoi more interesting. Makes a nice change from this hetero conformative world" Michiru said bitterly. In her primal knowledge core; she had background information on the basic instincts of all humans. The main one being lust and mating; while it may have started with male and female; she believed that love was something anyone could have regardless of sexuality.

"If you wish to make them a couple so be it; as long as you do not get caught by MuruMuru or Gasai and cause suspicion" Deus warned sharply. MuruMuru had been helping first world Gasai who had won the previous game. She had been tampering long enough and it needed to stop. This is the purpose of creating Michiru to fix those problems and protect Akise.

"Of course Deus-sama; I will not fail you" Michiru said solemnly. She owed him her life and would do everything in her power to make sure his plans were successful. The only two people she had concern for right now was Deus her creator and Aru.

"I shall leave you to it; but be careful Michiru. Gasai is not to be taken lightly by any means" Deus warned before cutting off.

So far things were going smoothly; she had just met new faces and made sure that Yukiteru wouldn't try anything. However she was intrigued about this Gasai person and what they were like. However should they threaten Aru in any way; she would end them.

Eventually Akise came back into the room holding his food and beverage. He became concerned when he saw the thoughtful expression on Michiru's face. She really had some deep thoughts today.

"Michiru?" Akise asked curiously. Perhaps from all her studying she had gotten exhaustion? She had been pushing herself lately.

Michiru looked up at him and smiled "Sorry Aru; I was just thinking. Guess that test has really got to me" she lied.

Akise smiled and sat opposite her "I get that you're thinking about your future Michiru; but don't forget to take care of yourself ok?" he said sternly but in a gentle tone.

While he wanted to be a police investigator someday; she wanted to be a police officer. Her line of field was not only using her intelligence but her strength; and he supported her. However pushing herself to the point of straining her body wouldn't help anyone.

Michiru said nothing; however she was coming to care about Akise. In the short time of knowing him she had become more maternal. However she wondered how he would act around her if he knew the truth.

"Foods going to get cold; better eat up" she said gently and continued eating her noodles. Deus was really good at creating interesting life forms. Their knowledge truly extended their years.
