Part IV: They're coming
Pacing his room, Juunana wondered when these others would be activated?
And what would they do?
Would they want to destroy him, and his twin?
And what about Nijuukyuu?
Why hadn't she turned on them yet?
"Eh..." Juunana walked upstairs, opening the door to the outside, going out onto his porch; just as Nijuukyuu came out on Juuhachi's porch; then she waved to Juunana, who just nodded, and watched the younger cyborg as she walked over, climbing up the steps onto his porch, to stand in front of him.
"Hello Juunana." She spoke his name softly, as she leaned her back against the wall, looking up at him.
"Hey Nijuukyuu." He answered, then looked over to see if Juuhachi was going to come out or not... she didn't...
His forehead wrinkled as he narrowed his eyes, as he began to worry for only a moment about the thought that Nijuukyuu might've killed Juuhachi?
No way!
He would've heard something, and he already knew that him and her were both stronger then Njuukyuu, so that was a reassurement.
"Is... something wrong?" Nijuukyuu asked, as Juunana snapped back to reality; asking dumbly (and randomly): "Want to go swimming?"
Nijuukyuu looked curious for a moment, then nodded.
"Why not?"
And Juunana just smiled, still feeling stupid for that question that had just blurted out for no reason he knew of.
"We'll just wear our clothes, because it doesn't matter if we get wet... Oh..."
He stared at her - she was a girl, she was supposed to worry about if her outfit got wet; and it was then, Juunana noticed she was wearing a new outfit that Juuhachi must've given her; which was a long sleeved pale blue shirt, and light green pants, with a pair of sandals.
"Hm? I'm fine with getting wet... although, I do hope Juuhachi doesn't get angry at me for ruining her outfit... but if we stay out in the sun long enough, I'm sure it'll dry just fine..." Nijuukyuu spoke calmly and quickly, then smiled at her male companion, whose eyebrows were raised, while he stared at her curiously, then he slowly smirked.
"Gotcha." Juunana answered, then she followed him to the ocean nearby, where he landed first onto a large rock half under the waves washing upon the sandy shore, while she landed upon the sand, then removed her sandals, which she gave to her hands to hold.
"Hey Nijuukyuu, do you even know how to swim?" Juunana called to her in a teasing tone, while she shielded her eyes from the sun's blare.
"Of course, but do you?" The brunette answered, upon which he laughed.
"I'm the best at everything." Juunana boasted, kicking off his sneakers, then while he was smiling to himself, he removed his orange bandanna, and his two shirts; then slipped off his socks, until he was just bare chested with his only jeans on.
"You know, you just lied to me - you said we would just go with all our clothes." Nijuukyuu said, looking sideways at him while the breeze was blowing her long hair wildly across her face.
"Well, I want to feel the water on my skin... it could be worse, I could ask you to get in your underwear." Juunana retorted, looking to the horizan as he sat on the rock, letting his feet go under the calm wave.
"Upon which, I would kill you." Nijuukyuu said, walking over to stand next to his seat on the rock, and he laughed again.
"You? I don't think so!" Juunana threw his head back as he roared with laughter, while Nijuukyuu just stared indifferent at him.
"You said you're the best at everything?"
Juunana looked curiously at her with an arched eyebrow as she asked this, then nodded. "Yes I AM; why? Wanna prove me wrong?"
Nijuukyuu just turned her head, looking at the ocean as the sunlight danced upon it's surface. "Is that why you killed everyone? So you don't have to have competition? Because now you'll never know if you are the best."
Juunana stood up, clutching his fists tightly together. "I know I am, because I am the strongest!"
Nijuukyuu looked up at the angry cyborg, whom looked rather strange with only a pair of jeans on.
"But are you the smartest? How about the fastest? Or what about the most talented - but at what?" Nijuukyuu floated up onto the rock, standing right in front of him, looking fearlessly straight up into his fierce face. "You can just boast, without any proof - is that what makes you so confident?"
"I know I'm better then you - you're weak, and incomplete." Juunana snapped furiously, while she sighed softly, looking down at the waves which seemed to be getting angrier with the male's rage.
"But at least, I still have more humanity, and most of my memories - I have feelings." Nijuukyuu said quietly, returning her face to his, as he bit his bottom lip... still his face was of anger, but his narrowed eyes searched her face desperately...
...for what?
She couldn't tell...
He looked almost lost, as if struggling inside for something, as his eyes seemed to cloud up; and then as she placed a soft hand upon his cheek; all his breath came out heavy and panting as if he had been holding it for so long, but his eyes were still scanning her concerned face.
"There is someone who challenges my and Juuhachi's strength - a half Saiyan brat named Trunks, whom keeps coming back no matter how many beatings we give him. I know me and my twin are much stronger, but I can't get how he can just keep on LIVING!" Juunana blurted out all this rapidly, while Nijuukyuu listened and heard each word, then she nodded slowly, gazing thoughtfully into the waves again as they were defeated and were calm again too.
"It's an emotion... I'm not - quite - sure... what though..." Nijuukyuu said softly, while Juunana just stared at her, all his anger had faded and he felt different, but couldn't understand it or himself, as he gently took her into his arms, as she let out a small, surprised breath; staring up at him.
"Let's go swimming." He smirked at her, with his calm, superior tone back and she blinked several times at him, still surprised, and confused.
"Alright...?" The brunette lifted her head quickly, as he picked her up as her sandals fell from her hand to roll down to the sands; as he flew her slowly over to another island, landing her down onto that shore.
"Juu... Juunana?" Nijuukyuu asked uncertainly, as he placed her down, then stood above her, still smirking as he turned to the water, then waded into it; while she stood up, watching him.
"Well... you coming or not?" He asked, looking back at her as she stood there dumbly, then she nodded, as she waded into the water, to come up to him, as he looked down into her face; her dark eyes stared with curisiousity; as he placed one hand upon her cheek, when suddenly she shut her eyes tightly, grabbing her head with both hands, letting out a scream; which shocked Juunana as he backed up from her.
"Ni-Nijuukyuu!" He took her by her shoulders, shaking her; but she just sank into his arms, against his chest.
"Two... no... three... have been... released..." Nijuukyuu uttered softly, as Juunana held her; then as she looked up at him with a worn out expression, she whispered:
"They're coming..."
