Chapter 6
The next morning
Pov (Kaito)
'That was a really good rest' I thought standing up and looking at the clock. '6a.m. I should get to making breakfast.' "What to make today?" I asked myself quietly, "It'd have to be something that I can make a lot of easily."
20 minutes later
"Morning." I heard a groggy voice say from behind me, "How can you be up this early? Why are you cooking this early anyway?"
"Simple really. I have a damn internal clock that wakes me up around this time." I said turning my head to see a half-asleep Nepgear rubbing her eyes, "If you want I can make something to wake you up?"
"No thanks; I'll be fine." she said tiredly, "I just need a few minutes to wake up."
"Want to give me a hand then?" I asked, "It'll give us a chance to get to know each other."
"Only if you think I can help." she said unsure, "I mean I'm not very useful."
"I'll have none of that." I said, "Everyone has their own set of unique skills suited to them. I had to hammer that home with Uni yesterday, and I'll do the same for you; after all I consider you a friend."
"You really think that I can be of use to everyone?" she asked.
"No I don't." I said making the girl look down, "I believe you can. You just have to believe in yourself, and let your true power emerge."
"You're a good person you know that?" she asked.
"I get that a lot." I said, "I was serious though; I'm going to hammer your own use home to you today. I don't care what Noire says; you and I are going on a few quests today."
"We should probably get cooking then." Nepgear said, "We'll need all of our strength today."
"You're right!" I said enthusiastically, "Just remember though: If you don't believe in yourself; then believe in the me that believes in you!" I finished saying getting a small laugh out of the girl.
"Your right!" she said with a big smile, "I hope you can keep up!"
"I hope you'll be able to keep up with me." I said smirking, "When i get serious almost nothing can stop me!"
One hour later
After breakfast
"Hey, Noire, I was going to take Nepgear on a few quests today. I hope that's okay with you." I said, "I just want to get to know the candidates better."
"I guess that's fine. My only question is why?" Noire asked.
You're not trying to get with my sister; are you?" Neptune asked threateningly.
"No i'm not, Neptune, and I'll text you the full reason later Noire." I said, "Just know i have a very good reason for this."
"Why do you want to get to know the other candidates?" Uni asked.
"I'm a curious person, Uni." I said, "I like to get to know who people really are on the inside."
"I expect full details later." Noire said sighing, "Did you want Uni and I to wait for you here or back in Lastation?"
"Doesn't really matter, I guess." I said, "I'm sure Neptune would enjoy the company, but I know you have a lot of work back home; so i'll leave it up to you."
` "We'll come back and get you in three days then, Kaito." Noire said, "That should give you plenty of time to get to know the Nep sisters. That's not a problem with you is it, Histoire?"
"No it isn't, Noire. I should have his training partner figured out by then as well." the little fairy said, "I'll try not to let Neptune corrupt him." said person looked shocked.
"What do you mean 'corrupt him' Histy?" Neptune asked incredulously, "The most i'd do is make him buy me pudding and play games with me."
"That's exactly what I meant, Neptune. I won't let you make him lazy like you are." Histoire said angrily, "Unlike you, he's a hard, diligent, and persistent worker."
"Hey now; no fighting in front of me. Neptune from what i've been told by Noire; you hardly work, you only put in the bare minimal when it comes to your public relations, and you make Histoire do all of your paperwork. You really do need to put in more effort if you intend to stay as Planeptunes CPU. If you want to play games all day make a public tournament, or something along those lines; get out and interact with your citizens if you want Histoire to do your work for you. At least put in some more effort!" I finished my rant towards Neptune shocking everyone present and Neptune to tear up, "Histy, if you can, schedule her one or two days off a week; so she can do what she wants. Neptune if you don't start working I'll have to renounce my Planeptunian heritage."
"You were a little harsh there. Kaito, You didn't need to say all of those things." Nepgear said.
"Your right, Nepgear. Look I'm sorry, Neptune. I just don't like when people i consider friends fight right in front of me." I said looking towards the floor, "Tell you what, I'll spend tomorrow with you doing a few fun quests; how's that sound?"
"He's not wrong though." Noire said, "The least you could do for Histoire is get out and interact with your people every once in awhile."
"Fine we'll do A single quest tomorrow; then coming right back here!" Neptune said rubbing her eyes, "This doesn't mean I've forgiven you though!"
"Let's get going, Uni." Noire said transforming, "We have a lot of work ahead of us."
"You're right, Noire!" Uni said transforming as well, "Kaito, we'll be back in a few days for you."
"See you two then." I said waving them off, "Now, Nepgear, should we be going as well?"
"It's still a little early; don't you think?" Nepgear asked.
"Nah. The earlier we leave the better!" I said excitedly, "The good quests are always up early!"
A/N: Sorry if it seemed like I was bashing Neptune as a CPU in this Chapter; that was not my intent. Anyway how did you like the Chapter? See anywhere that I could Improve? Please let me know.
