Teito: We would like to thank Ana Houten, Somechick, Rima-chan, kimiko-ryu, cool guy 33, and Lunarady for reviewing! We love to hear from you.

Lea: As promised, I have brought the chapters!

Razette: *big smile and cute hums*

Lea: Ok, I know there has been a lot of controversy over weather Kuroyuri is a boy or a girl. I've heard that it's both sides. Honestly, no one knows for certain because the author is keeping it a secret.

Kuroyuri: But I know. *big cute eyes*

Lea: Ok. Enlighten us.

Kuroyuri: No.

Lea: Anyway, because I kind of already said Kuroyuri is a girl, and we are not for sure anyway, I'm going to act like he/she is. Why? It makes writing a lot easier and I don't really want to go back and change it. Now, que Razette!

Razette: *starts playing dramatic organs. Candy starts raining in Hyuuga's office.

Konatsu: Ok! We get it! We get it!

Hyuuga: *smiles* Lea dose not own 07 ghost. This is just a fan fic written for fun.


Eve walked behind Ayanami and beside Konatsu, feeling like she was walking into a death trap. It, however, was too late for any thoughts of leaving. They were already boarded and taking off. The group of four entered the navigation area, and Ayanami took his captain seat. Hyuuga grabbed Eve and led her to a table where Konatsu and one other man with black hair sat. Eve looked around.

"Where's Kuroyuri?" Eve asked.

"Uh…" Konatsu murmured.

"About that…" Hyuuga muttered. "She's with Haruse."

"Haruse? I remember her mentioning someone by that name…" Eve muttered, remembering Kuroyuri's fit on the train.

"Haruse is her begliter. He's in a coma from an attempt to recover a deserter." Hyuuga explained.

"Oh…" Eve muttered, feeling guilty for bringing it up. There was silence. Eve watched as everyone else began to work, and she didn't know what to do. She turned to look up at Ayanami, sitting in his chair silently with his eyes closed. Suddenly, Ayanami stood up, and left the room.

"I wouldn't bother him. He's busy." Hyuuga commented. Eve turned back towards Hyuuga and blinked. Eve wouldn't understand, but Hyuuga knew exactly where Ayanami was going. He hadn't fully recovered from Fest's (Caster's) attack. Though his body was mostly recovered, his internal organs were still poorly put together because of the lack of time he had to recover. Ayanami would be heading for 'that room'.

Hyuuga was writing something on a document intently. "You look really busy too…" Eve replied, stepping closer to him.

"Not really…" Hyuuga muttered.

'Wow… they must be really used to difficult labor…' Eve thought, trying to get a better view of the document. Eve looked at the paper with shock.

"What the?!" Eve demanded, taking a better look at the paper. Hyuuga had drawn a picture of Eve and Ayanami kissing.

"Like it?" Hyuuga asked with a smile.

"It's… really… good…" Eve stuttered, turning red with embarrassed. Despite what the picture was of, Hyuuga was an incredibly good artist.

"I'm glad you like it!" Hyuuga smiled. "But you know, as of now, you can just do as you want as long as you don't get in anyone's way."

"You sure?" Eve asked.

"Yeah. From what I've seen in years past, Ayanami will ignore you the entire time, except for the occasional job." Hyuuga replied.

"Why don't you go look around this ship?" Konatsu suggested. "It will keep you from getting lost later when you're needed.

"Ok. That sounds like a good idea." Eve replied. She then turned and left the room. Time passed and the three had gone back to what they were doing. After finishing his fifth drawing, Hyuuga leaned back and stretched and the other black haired warsfiel stopped and looked up.

"You know… what if that wasn't such a good idea?" The black haired man (not Hyuuga) asked.

"What do you mean?" Konatsu inquired, stopping what he was doing and looking up.

"What if she stumbles across Haruse or worse?" He inquired. Hyuuga suddenly jumped up and went to find Eve. Konatsu was confused for a moment, but suddenly realized Ayanami was gone and recognized his mistake. Running across Kuroyuri mourning Haruse was bad enough, but her seeing 'that room' was far worse. Not only was there blood, body parts, and other things used for warsfiel, but Ayanami was also attached to the recovery tank. Konatsu also jumped up and went to join the search.


Eve was getting bored now. She had searched most of the place, only to be picked on by most of the officers. She still hadn't stumbled across Kuroyuri or anything interesting. Eventually, she came to a white room where a man with blue hair and blue eyes sat in a chair emotionlessly. Eve blinked and went in to take a closer look. He was breathing, but his eyes were blank. He looked like a living puppet.

"How weird…" Eve muttered. Something in her told her not to touch him. She turned to leave the room when she suddenly felt a pulse. She turned back around to look at him. She saw a golden symbol that was stained by a black substance forming in the air in front of the puppet-like man. The symbol looked like it was shattered into several pieces. Eve hesitantly touched a shattered piece. The piece followed her finger as she moved her hand left or right, but when she pulled her hand back towards herself, it did not move. Eve stepped closer to examine the symbol.

"I feel like I've seen something like this before…" She muttered. "I feel like… the center says soul… and the other branches are memories…" She muttered, not knowing where this information was coming from. It felt so familiar, but so far away. She began to touch the pieces and put them together correctly. When two fragments touched, they began to fuse together into the original symbol.

When she put the last piece in place, there was a large flash of light along with a strange odd noise. The man fell out of his seat and onto the floor, but he had caught himself and started breathing heavily. Alarmed, Eve quickly ran out of the room. She didn't know what she did, but she didn't want to find out if it was something bad. She looked down the hall, back and forth. Quickly, she ran into the nearest door she saw down the hall in order to hide.

The room she had just entered was large and dark, but there was a light in the distance. Eve looked towards the distant light with curiosity.


Kuroyuri, who was eating a cookies in the kitchen behind the mess hall, suddenly heard the noise. A pulse rung out in her mind. She knew that it was Haruse. She suddenly stopped eating and ran to see Haruse. She ran to the door, swinging the doors wide open to see Hyuuga and Konatsu barely making it before her. Haruse, the blue eyed, blue haired man, sat up, breathing heavily.

"Kuroyuri." He muttered.

"Haruse?" Kuroyuri said, looking first with disbelief. "Haruse!" Kuroyuri cried, hugging him.

"What happened?" Hyuuga asked.

"I don't know. When I came too, I saw someone in a military uniform running out." Haruse replied. Hyuuga and Konatsu looked at each other. Eve was on the 'bad' side of the ship, and 'that room' was not too far away. They now feared the worst.


The room was coated in the heavy scent of iron, but Eve could not see much in the darkness. Of what she could see, she quickly diverted her face away. The sight of blood and torture tools lingered in her mind. Something told her leave, but she was curious about the light at the end of the room. She felt her stomach turn, and she felt like she could vomit at any given moment. She was glad the room was so dark. She did not want to see what it would look like with full lights on.

She stepped closer and gasped when she saw what looked like a large tank filled with bodies with military uniforms on and strings attached to them. Ayanami stood floating and sleeping over an elevated platform with several strings attached to his chest. His overcoat was off and folded to the side along with his gloves, hat, and undershirt. He was only wearing his military trousers and boots.

'What is this? Are those bodies… real?' She thought to herself as she covered her mouth. 'No way. That's disgusting. At least give the dead a proper burial. My God! That bishop wasn't joking! No wonder warsfiel is banned!' She thought. Still, the worst overwhelming fact was that she saw Ayanami like that. Both fear and curiosity consumed her. She took another step closer to get a better look at him. The skin on his chest seemed stretched and irregular. As she examined him, she noticed that his skin slowly started to smooth out from the strings out.

"He's… healing?" Eve muttered, not quite sure how to take the sight. She knew they were warsfiel, so she reasoned that this was to be expected. Still, the essence of the room made her spine quiver. She swallowed hard and went closer until she was directly in the light over the tank. She watched as he seemed to be sleeping peacefully. Because of her short stature and his body's elevation over the platform, she couldn't see his face as much as she wished. Suddenly, a thought came to her and started to bother her.

'What if Hyuuga lied to me?' She thought. 'What if he really is the skeleton figure I saw? Is it possible that Ayanami is Verloren? Is that the one thing I missed?' She looked to her feet, and then back at him. 'No. That's too silly. That dream had put my head in the clouds. There is no way that can be true. But still… ' Eve took a deep breath. 'He never did eat. He only had a glass of wine, which could easily be accounted for by some small trick. Besides that, why is his skin stretched so funny under his uniform?' She thought a bit more. 'If he is the skeleton covered by a layer of skin and necessary things for an outward appearance, then he won't have organs. If he doesn't have organs, he doesn't have a heart. If he doesn't have a heart… he doesn't have a pulse.' She reasoned. 'The gloves would be able to hide his cold, dead hands.'

She took a few nervous steps closer towards him. She lifted her hand to check the vein at his neck, but he was too high up. She then moved her hand down to his chest where his heart would be. Nervously, she closed her eyes and touched the area over his heart.

She opened her eyes as she felt his pulse. It was a weak, irregular pulse, but a pulse nonetheless. She quickly pulled her hand back and looked at him, not wanting to wake him up. She gave a small sigh of relief. She decided it was just speculation. She slowly backed away from Ayanami's sleeping body. She turned around and suddenly knocked into something that wasn't there before.

"Oof!" Eve muttered, catching herself. She looked up to see Hyuuga staring down at her with Konatsu running in behind him. "Hyu-!" Eve was stopped by Hyuuga quickly covering her mouth.

"You'll wake him up." Hyuuga muttered to Eve in a hushed whisper. Eve swallowed hard and gave a small nod, but it was too late. Ayanami's eyes opened. He noticed Eve and Hyuuga first, then Konatsu. Hyuuga and Konatsu noticed he was awake, but they didn't want to frighten Eve any more then she already was. Hyuuga whispered to Konatsu, "Get her out of here." Konatsu nodded and grabbed her arm, leading her out and making sure she did not look back. Eve had covered her mouth with one hand and closed her eyes as she walked. She couldn't bare to think about what was in there. As soon as she left the room and Konatsu closed the door, Hyuuga turned looked up at his superior.

"Hyuuga." Ayanami muttered.

"Sorry Aya-tan. We suggested she look around the ship to get comfortable with the layout, but we forgot to warn her about this place." Hyuuga muttered. Ayanami turned off the recovery system with his zaiphon and the strings detached from his body. "How do you feel?" Ayanami moved his hands and his arm.

"Much better." He muttered. "But still completely. One more treatment should be enough."

"Well, there is some good news. Haruse has finally come too." Hyuuga replied.

"The eye of Michael broke his soul." Ayanami muttered. "Eve went in there too, didn't she?"

"Well, we can't exactly say for sure…" Hyuuga muttered. "But we are fairly sure it was her." Ayanami was silent. He started to put his uniform back on. As soon as he had straitened his clothes up with perfection, he turned back to Hyuuga.

"How did she take it?" Ayanami asked.

"Far better then I expected, but still fairly shocked. Though, it's not like we could hide it forever. Even if we warned her, I'm sure curiosity would lead her here eventually." Hyuuga replied. Ayanami said nothing. He turned and walked out of the door.


"Aya-tan returned to the commander's seat. How's Eve?" Hyuuga asked Konatsu.

"She closed herself in the empty room that Haruse was in." Konatsu sighed. "Kuroyuri and Haruse are in the mess hall."

"Did you tell Kuroyuri?" Hyuuga asked.

"No… Knowing Kuroyuri, Eve would either have Kuroyuri chasing her with a knife or have her attached to her like a leach." Konatsu replied. "Besides, I thought I would leave Kuroyuri in her happy mode with Haruse."

"True." Hyuuga replied.

"The halls here are so stuffy. It's nothing like the other half of the ship!" A bratty voice called from behind Konatsu and Hyuuga. Konatsu froze and Hyuuga turned towards the voice. It was a blond cadet with bright blue eyes and a snobbish expression.

"What is the Oak boy doing here?" Hyuuga asked in a hushed whisper to Konatsu.

"Stalking me." Konatsu replied.

"What are you talking about?" Shuri Oak, the blond cadet, asked.

"Oh nothing. Just wondering why you're here." Hyuuga replied with his normal smile.

"I'm Ayanami's begleiter of course!" He replied.

"But didn't you get fired?" Hyuuga asked.

"I'm irreplaceable, and Konatsu is supposed to be looking after me." Shuri Oak replied.

"But you have already been replaced." Hyuuga replied.

"What! Me? Replaced! You can't do that! My father is going to be so angry when he finds out!"

"Wasn't he the one that fired you along with Aya-tan?" Hyuuga asked.

"I don't care! Who is he? Who replaced me?!" He demanded.

"Well, uh… Ayanami's new begleiter is currently 'busy' right now. Maybe later." Konatsu suggested.

"Fine! I'll go elsewhere then." He said with a snooty expression. He then walked off, commenting on just about everything he saw.

"Did you know he was on board?" Hyuuga asked.

"No." Konatsu replied. "This can't be good."

"Well, at least it's not boring." Hyuuga replied, putting his hands behind his head.

"You act like it ever is…" Konatsu sighed.

"We locked 'that room' so we don't have to worry about anyone unauthorized going in there, but keep an eye on Eve. Make sure the Oak boy doesn't see her. I'll go protect Aya-tan." Hyuuga instructed.

"Yes sir." Konatsu replied. Hyuuga turned and left for the control room.


It was nearly midnight and most of the soldiers were changing shifts. Ayanami was sitting in the captain's chair, planning his next move. Hyuuga, who was previously doodling, got up and walked over towards his superior.

"Eh, Aya-tan, are we really going to go through with this?" Hyuuga asked. Ayanami opened his eyes and looked towards Hyuuga. Despite everything he dose, Hyuuga was actually far more intelligent then he ever let out. Only a few people, such as Ayanami and Konatsu, knew this.

"Orders are orders; however I won't go down so easily." Ayanami replied.

"Of course. That's why we're always sent…" Hyuuga replied. He sighed and looked at Ayanami slightly worried. Ayanami noticed Hyuuga's expression, but disregarded it.

"We'll arrive at the military base in about a week. We are to act as if it is a former inspection, but the orders were to act as reinforcements against a rebellion." Ayanami continued.

"It makes no sense, Aya-tan. We are hiding the fact that there is a rebellion, but we are hiding it from the military itself. Aren't they supposed to know that they are under attack? It's a far larger problem, isn't it? The rebellion is from the inside." Hyuuga replied as he unwrapped another lollipop. His voice was filled with speculation rather then curiosity. They had both already figured out the answer.


Konatsu had been standing guard for hours. He was tempted to ask Eve to come out, but every time he was about too, Shuri Oak would appear and bother him to no end. Finally, Shuri got tired and declared that he was going to bed. As soon as he left, Konatsu took a breath of relief. The pest was finally gone. He slowly opened the door and saw Eve curled up in a ball, asleep.

"She must have cried herself to sleep…" Konatsu muttered. Eve had heard Konatsu and slowly woke up. "Oh, sorry if I woke you." Konatsu apologized. Eve yawned. She sat up and looked around. The hat fell off her head and her hair was crinkled.

"Where…" She muttered. "Oh yeah…" She began to recall what happened, though her mind was still in a blur. Thinking back on it while her memory was still hazy, it didn't seem so bad. She slowly picked the hat back up and put it on her head. She then began to stuff her hair back in the hat.

"Are you hungry? You've been in here for hours." Konatsu asked. Eve looked at him, then towards the ground. She was hungry, but she didn't feel like eating. She was still feeling a little sick from earlier. Konatsu got tired of waiting for an answer and finally grabbed her hand and led her out of the room.

He was originally going to lead her towards the kitchen, but he suddenly remembered that Kuroyuri and Haruse were in there. He thought it best if Eve ate somewhere else. An idea suddenly came to him. He led her to a meeting room that was used strictly for the higher level Black Hawks. The room was hardly used, but it was still there nonetheless. There was a set of large windows replacing one of the walls, and dark blue walls for the other three sides. In the center stood three leather couches and a large commander seat arranged in a square around a cherry wood table in the center. There was not much more to the room other then a banner on the wall and carpet flooring. Though it was hardly ever used, the room was cleaned recently to look in top shape in case it was.

"Wait here." Konatsu instructed as soon as he led her inside. "I'll be back with food in a moment. Hyuuga and Ayanami will never forgive me if anything happens to you, so be good, ok?"

"Alright." Eve muttered softly. Konatsu barely heard her. Konatsu left the room to fetch her something to eat. Eve walked about the room. She suddenly spotted her backpack with the thick blade on top. Her eyes widened slightly and she quickly ran over too it. She picked up the blade and held it close in her arms. She couldn't believe she had almost forgotten about it. As she held it close, she looked out the window wall into the lonely night sky.

The moon was shining brightly behind the misty clouds, and the clouds pushed against the bottom of the glass like mist. It seemed rather romantic, but the thought only made her heart ache. She had not quite understood why. 'Is this because of Ayanami?' She thought to herself. She had believed that she had stopped considering him an option a while ago, but the thought of him wouldn't go away. 'He's far older then me. He's dangerous and emotionless. He's so confusing and I don't even think he likes me very much. On top of that… there is… there is…' her thought stopped as she began to picture the room again with Ayanami hooked up to the recovery tank.

She put a hand on her forehead and pressed against her face, trying to calm herself down. It was too much for her, but the sight of his beautiful amethyst eyes would not leave her mind. As much as she tried to hide and run away from it, she knew that she had fallen for him. She liked him so much that it hurt. Her mind was a pool of many different mixed emotions. She never wanted to see him again. She wanted to be free of him. But still, something deep within her desired his soft cold touch. She looked towards the ground and tried to stop thinking about it.

Eve suddenly felt something. It was like a strong pulse at the tips of her fingers. She looked out the window to see something moving towards the ship with increasing momentum. It swept passed the side of the ship, right in front of the window. The glass cracked and Eve backed away from the window.

"What on earth was that?" She shuttered with a forced calm. A siren suddenly started to go off. "What the!?"

"Emergency! Emergency!" A strong male voice said over the intercom. "All troops man your stations. Main officers, immediately report to the control room. Platoons Alpha, Bravo, and Delta, arm up and defend the designated entrances. Platoons Charlie and Foxtrot, defend the arms and supply storage. Platoon Echo, defend the steam room. This is not a drill! I repeat, this is not a drill!"


Lea: Omg! Cliffhanger! XD

Labrador: Time for my floral prediction. *smile*

Lea: Not again!

Labrador: The flowers tell me that Eve will loose control of herself. Concerning love, she will have great luck.

Lea: Ok… until the next update, please review! We love to hear from you!
