Chapter 6

After that little fiasco from earlier, Our little runaways decide to go and hide in an abandoned apartment inside Ko to well discuss plans for how they are going to get to Otsu and what on earth they are going to wear from now onwards because there is so much rags can provide in warming up their bodies.

"It's kind of convenient don't you think that this place used to have a department store for clothes? I mean look at some of these!" Neko said as she lifted a peach shirt up to the only source of light they could find as night had approached.

"I know and this place still has running water and enough food for tonight at least. At least I can make something with what we got!" Derrick said excitingly. "Whats wrong with the food from before, I mean I think that soup you cooked up for us was really good."

The moment Sora said those words, Everyone's face turned green for a moment. They hope he never finds out that the soup he drank was actually made from the juice of rotten fruit tossed into the garbage. "Ahehe…I can make something even better besides that soup." Derrick said hoping he would never make something that atrocious. Ever again.

As the others looked for some clothes, Alice was looking at the eyewear department. She had to admit while she had perfect 20/20 vision, she really wanted to wear glasses. She then looked at the goggles section and a pair caught her eye. It was a couple of riding goggles for motorcycles and it looked pretty new, When she wore it on her hair she noted that it actually matches pretty well with her pink hair and it helped keep her hair away from her face like a hairband.

"You like those goggles Nee-san?" Sora asked from behind spooking her. "Sora! Don't ever do something like that in the middle of the dark!" She hastily replied. "But it's not dark right now…Is it nee-san?" He asked and she just slanted her head in pure disbelief. "It's just rude you know! Don't you know manners Sora?"

"M-M-Manners?" This was Sora's reply as he looked at her funny. Alice reminded herself to teach him some as he asked her the question again. "But from before…Do you like those goggles?" Alice was having a hard time trying to answer him as she really did like this pair but she knew that she would not be riding any motorcycles anytime soon.

"I think they look good on you nee-san." Sora said making her blush slightly. "D-don't say something like that…anyways I think they would look good on you" She replied as she took them off and place them on Sora's head in the same manner she wore it… She had to admit now he looked funny but in a few years she knows he will look good like that.

"Then…why not keep it? I mean… you like them…don't you." Sora said which shocked her for a bit but in the end she really liked his answer. "Yeah…why not! There a keeper!" She replied which earned an excited look from Sora which got cut off with the voice of Neko.

"HEY GUYS! DINNER IS READY!" she shouted which made them immediately run for where they heard Neko's voice as their stomach's rumbled in hunger…I mean they haven't had lunch yet at all. Alas was their own little problem they face from time to time as they usually are so focused on hiding from the NOL that they tend to ignore food altogether.

On a table they found laid there dinner for that night. And it was sure the feast they were seeing. Caesar salad, Spaghetti , Ragout beef were some of the food that were placed on the table. Everyone's mouths except for Derrick were drooling at the sight of it. "Well what are you staring for…DIG IN!"

They wasted no time as soon as Derrick said those words and attacked the massive amount of food in waves even ignoring the utensils laid out for them and just grabbing the food with their hands. "Oh god Derrick How on earth did you make these in just in a few hours…And taste soo Damm good at the same time!" Neko said with food on her mouth which made him chuckle in amusement.

"Otou-san! This taste a lot better then that soup!" Sora also said with food on his mouth which Alice and Neko stop eating for a while before they continued due to the thought of "Garbage" Soup. After eating that much food, they all beated their stomachs and lied on the ground. "Oh god Derrick that was so good!" Alice said in pure bliss which made him smile a little bit.

After resting their stuffed bellies, they decide to get to the serious point of the night… How on earth are they going to get to Otsu.

Neko: Ok, right now they have increased security through Otsu so we need a way to get in without being spotted.

Derrick: Well sneaking through is no question out. Those guards can spot us with the detection ars they use.

Alice: and not to mention that we would have go through Immigrations meaning we got to have Id's but we don't Even have one.

Neko: The sewers are a no go as well as they usually have patrols through there.

Derrick: AH! At this rate we might never get into Otsu.

Alice:…Sora? Is something on your mind?

The whole group turned to Sora as he looked like he was thinking about something really hard. He shot up the moment he heard his name called. "Ummm…It's just…why not try hiding in one of those transport vehicles that the NOL use every time?" he said quite shyly.

They all paused for a moment, why is it that most of their plans usually come from him. They all facepalmed at their own stupidity for that one moment. "Is something wrong everyone?... Is my idea really that stupid?" Sora shyly asked yet again. "No…It's just that idea may work son." Derrick replied on behalf for the rest of the group which made Alice smile when he said son.

"ALRIGHT! Now that we got an idea on how to get to otsu… Me and Alice need some girl time!" Neko said as she began to drag Alice to the shower room. "And if I catch any of you boys peeking I will need to get these nails of mine sharpened." She warned as she checked her nails which shined under the light.

As soon as they entered the room Derrick looked like he was going to pee from where he was standing but Sora looked confused from what Neko said. "Umm Otou-san…why did Neko say that?" He asked which made Derrick drop to his knees. "You should Sit down… I got a lot to explain to you son." He replied as he gestured to a couple of seats and began to explain the biological difference between Boys and Girls to the best he can without corrupting the poor lad's mind.

Alice wondered to herself when was the last time she even showered, days or months was the accurate answer but it truly felt like forever to her. Just all the grime and dirt were coming off and she began to feel refreshed from it. She was truly experiencing pure bliss at the moment. Her thoughts then went to Sora and the others, she then realizes they haven't even showered for years maybe.

"Ah…I totally miss this feeling." Neko said quite relaxed. "It feels like all your worries are being washed away for the day and you are starting fresh too." Alice only nodded at this as she just was enjoying this shower too much. "Oh yeah… Nice goggles you found." Neko said which nearly made Alice slip.

"I-I-It's just some old goggles that's all!" Alice said blushing, "Ohohoho that's what they all say at first. But later on it blossoms into love young one." Neko replied which made Alice for a second really picture Neko as her mother telling her this. "Oh don't tease me like that!" She replied embarrassed as they both stopped showering at that moment and after drying themselves went to pick their new clothes.

Neko decided to go with a red collar shirt that had the words "SEEKER" printed in white and wore over it a grey hoodie. She also wore a black skirt that exposed her tail as she the clothes before were too restrictive for her tail and black converse sneakers. Alice decided to go a little more simple and wore a grey long sleeved shirt with pink stripes that exposed more of her neck and black jeans with matching shoes.

"Ah It feels so good to be out of those rags called clothes!" Neko said as she began to try moving her tail. "And now my tail feels even better now!" Alice couldn't help but smile as she wore her goggles on her head. "Ohoho that does look good on you." Neko complimented.

"Oh come on Mom, we're keeping the guys away from their own shower time." Alice joked as they left the showers only to see Derrick scratching his head after well… "So those two circles that Oka-san and Nee-san have are called Breasts?" The moment they heard those words they immediately dive kicked the living crap out of Derrick.

"What the hell are you teaching Sora Derrick!" Alice immediately shouted as she hugged Sora close to her chest. "I'm just teaching him the difference between Boys and Girls and suddenly he just brings up the Birds and the Bees." Derrick Replied as the girl's faces immediately paled. "There soft…so these are breasts?" Sora said as Alice immediately pulled him away and looked at him with stern eyes.

"Where on earth did you learn about the bird and bees Sora!?" Alice asked nearly blasting everyone's eardrums. "I just read about it in a book I found around here…is that a bad thing to talk about." Sora innocently replied. "Yes…Yes it is Sora…Now you and Derrick got to go shower…RIGHT NOW!"

At that exact moment, Both Sora and Derrick high tailed for the shower room before they got any more lip from Alice and came out minutes later wearing their choice of clothes. Derrick went for a white long sleeved shirt with a logo of wolf and brown biker gloves. He wore blue jeans which were torn all over the place and black boots to match and a chain belt. Sora on the other hand wore a plain white shirt with a black jacket and black torn shorts. He also had black boots but his had some white trim present.

"Well I do have to admit, your fashion sense ain't shabby at all Derrick." Neko complimented which earned her a twirl from Derrick, "Why thanks Neko." He thanked which made her heart slightly race. "A-anyways…We got to get some early shut eye for tomorrow… The delivery trucks usually start coming by six am sharp so that is the time we got to move out of here." Neko hastily said.

" *YAWN* yeah you're right Neko…we have been walking all over today too. Anyways. What day is it today." Alice asked in wonder. "Now that you mentioned it, we have forgotten about getting the date as everything has changed since the last time we came out." Derrick said surprised. "We can steal a newspaper tomorrow and find the date on that. Also we got to catch up with the times and get us some cells." Neko said as her head began planning. "I think we should worry about the cells once we reach Otsu." Alice answered back as Sora was listening to this conversation with curiosity.

After they found some mattresses, everyone went to bed early except Sora who was staring at the ceiling wondering the words that Alice had told him and they echoed on his mind continuously.

"You just need to be strong…For all of us…"

"Be strong…for all of us…? How do I exactly get stronger? What does she mean for all of us…Does she mean Her, Otou-san and Oka-san or does it mean something entirely different." He thought in his mind as he began to feel his eyelids get tired. He then decides to just stop thinking about it for a while and get some rest for tomorrow.

As he slowly opened his eyes he found himself in a black void, floating around aimlessly which freaked him out. As he looked around he noticed a white light shining brightly at the corner of his left eye and he began to try moving to that direction. As he got closer all he could see was a silhouette of a girl around Neko's age.

He really couldn't make out her face as the darkness obscured it but he saw white hair similar to his with blond streaks at the tip of her long hair and she wore a simple white dress. He was getting confused at the sight of this and tried to get even closer. That's when he noticed the girl's mouth moving…as if she's trying to tell him something. Suddenly he hears her clearly for a moment as she says this one sentence to him before he shielded himself from the bright light that consumed him.

"Your Journey of Fate has Begun, Oh chosen Error."
