Chapter Ten
The New Cyborg

Responses:

whiteclover: I'm glad you like it so much. Tai is a cute one and Yuu is the cutest! He's small ( He's kind of tiny for his age) and Tai is one good looking boy. I'm happy that your satisfied and thank you for all your support.

MagicianCyborg: Tai's an attractive lad and Yuu is plain cute. Trust me, the way I've pictured Yuu and drawn him, Yuu is quite shorter then an average eight year old. He's very tiny and he has a kind soft voice. He's so KAWAII! Poor Jet. I make no promises. Tai is going to suffer, a little that is. I like Tai, so I won't make him suffer TOO much. Thanks for all the support.

Serene Faerie: Their all cute, yes. I didn't realize that until someone told me ( On the Sakura's last name thing). Your not the first to tell me so. That was a big mistake. I haven't bought the tenth book, sadly. But I'll get it soon, since my friend told me it was really good. Have you? Thanks for all the support.

CheetorX: I'm glad you like my fic so much. You don't have to answer it, I just did that for fun. Thanks for all the support.

Chibi Binasu-chan: I'm so flattered. I'm evil, I know. For a thirteen ( Yes, I turned 13 on Nov.8) year old, I have a twisted mind that has big plans for this fic. I love Tai too. He's very cute. I wrote the last chapter on Wednesday, which is usually a sunny school day here in Orlando but I didn't feel too good. I have no idea how I got the idea for the Nine Steps To Get Hurt. Tai never had a relationship with a girl, so I got that idea. I feel so sorry for him. You flatter me. I'm just an amateur, really. Thanks for all the support.

Ryan: Poor Tai. I didn't want to hurt him but I dunno. The wisest thing to do is tell the rest of the older boys. Joe has to kill that jealousy. It's a very bad habit but I need him to have that jealousy for the next chapters. *blush* So sorry. I forgot there were guys reading my fic. Most of my readers are girls, so I thought it was a perfect question but don't worry. You'll be able to answer the next question. Thanks for all the support.

CosmosAngel11: Nadamas uno, CosmosAngel11! Jiro? Wow, your the first one to pick him. Que bueno! Mucha gente ya dijo que su favorito es Tai. I knew he was going to win after my last chapter. You got to know him a little bit more in that chapter. Gracias por todo. Si, Juanes canta la cancion Mala Gente! Me gusta esa cancion porque siempre se oye en la Novela, Velo de Novia, que veo! Gracias, otra vez, por todo.

Wolfwood11: I'm glad you like it so much. I knew it! I just knew it that Tai was going to win! Your the second person who actually choose Jiro. I didn't think anyone would pick poor Jiro or stubborn Haraku. Put Cyborg 009 back on, Cartoon Network! Thanks for all the support.

Goddess-of-da-Cheesburgers: My little Yuu. I love him so much. I'm glad you picked him. I bet you were a kawaii child yourself. I know I was ^_^ ( 009: @_@;). Yummie, brownies! I'll share them with my Joey ( 009: ^_^). Thanks for all the support.

Omoikaneavitar: I'm glad you like it so much! Thanks for all the support!

Gohan-Chan: Yet another Tai lover. Tai is a popular sixteen year old. I didn't want to make my little Joe seem evil but as you can see, I made Joe's gentle personality we all love in the show into an jealous personality. I know I've used a couple of names from other great animes ( Like Jiro and Takeshi). Thanks for all the support.

THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS! THANKS TO ALL OF THOSE PATIENT REVIEWER WHO REVIEWED MY NOTE! THANKS FOR ALL OF THE SUPPORT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME!

SDA 009: Perfect! On with the chapter!

009: ^_^

******************************

The next morning was bright and sunny. You could find a pretty female laying on the shore of the private beach. With a smile, she watched the birds fly and sing a sweet melody. A day like this would make someone take deep breaths since the surroundings were serene and the smell of the ocean was so heart warming. Days like this would take her mind off of the problems around her ( Why do I feel like I've used that sentence before?) like Black Ghost.

Everyone was busy today. The boys were in school which really surprised her since it was summer and she didn't even realize that yesterday was Sunday. It's amazing how days pass when you are constantly worried about a villain and stay in the Dolphin all day long without doing a thing but worry. Chang had decided to go to his restaurant, to everyone's dismay. This time, he choose all the Cyborgs to come and help.

" The more the merrier!" Chang had said. Her team mates had sweat dropped and sighed. Reluctantly, they followed the pudgy man to his restaurant.

She giggled. Only Dr. Kazumi, Dr. Gilmore, Ivan, and her stayed home. Ivan was taking a silent nap in his crib. Dr. Gilmore was writing in his journal while Dr. Kazumi did the same. Though she loved silence and tranquility, she couldn't help but feel annoyed. It annoyed her that she didn't hear bickering or Yuu's giggles. It annoyed her that Joe was not with her. She liked peace but she also felt jumpy as if Black Ghost would just appear from thin air.

Paranoid, her inner voice said, your paranoid.

She nodded in agreement. She knew that nothing would come and take her away-

Suddenly she felt two arms go around her shoulder. She jumped.

" Hello to you too, koishii," Joe said, frowning slightly. Francoise sighed in relief.

" It was you," She said. Joe raised an eyebrow.

" Who'd you think it was?" He asked.

" Er- Black Ghost?" She said, sheepishly.

" Black Ghost? Why'd you think it was him?" He asked, frowning.

" I was thinking about that, that's all," She said, blushing. He chuckled. He sat next to her, sliding his arm around her small waist.

" Don't think about that, Francoise."

" It's hard not to. I'm just not used to being so relax and calm. There's usually always something that gets me all worried," Francoise said.

" Well, not this time. We're going to be okay," He said. Francoise stared at Joe amazed.

How can he be so calm? she thought.

Of course, this was no ordinary man. This was Joe Shimamura, her hero. She blushed.

" Where's everyone else?" She asked, looking around.

" Chang only let me come back. Everyone else stayed there. You should have seen those glares everyone gave me," Joe said, with a shy smile. Francoise giggled.

" Their so mean," Francoise said, with a grin.

" Tell me about it," He said, " Chang is so picky about these things. Everything I brought from the market, he hated. My legs are so numb from all the times I had to go to the market."

" Oh Joe," Francoise said.

She kissed him tenderly. It felt wonderful to kiss Joe again. She hadn't kissed him in a long time ( or that's what it feels like) since it would be awkward to kiss someone in a house full of children so she held back those desires to feel a warm, sweet, and tender kiss.

Ever since their first kiss, Francoise couldn't go one day without a kiss from her beloved. She couldn't stand it if he didn't hug her or play with her hair. That's how much he meant to her. He returned the kiss in a more passionate way. Joe liked kisses that way. Passionate and sweet kisses were his favorite kind. A kiss where the tongue could touch her own. She liked them that way too but she liked kisses in a sweet, tender way. In an innocent way.

Joe, she thought, what would I do without you?

*****

6th ( How many periods are there in Japanese schools? There are only 6th periods in my school, so that's what I'm using) Period in School........

If you ever went inside a History classroom during 6th period in Touji Boys Academy, this is what you would most likely find:

An elderly teacher reading from a thick old book on top of a platform behind his desk. Boys in uniforms sitting in rows of expensive desks with dull eyes. But for one boy it was different.

Every word the teacher said went through one ear and out the other. It was rare to see an honor student like Tai in such a state. Instead, he kept on writing a name on a paper with his No. 2 pencil. The name was spelled F-r-a- n-c-o-i-s-e who was his crush.

Give up, his inner voice said.

Tai rolled his violet eyes. Somehow he still had hope. Hope that he could have a chance with Francoise.

His crush.

His angel.

" Urashima-san? What year did this happen?" His teacher asked.

" Huh?" He said, coming back to Earth.

Everyone's head turned to him with a surprise look on their face. Tai sweat dropped.

Why's everyone looking at me like that? he thought.

Dimwit, his inner voice said.

" Bing, bing, bing," The bell rang proudly ending yet another day of school. Tai sighed in relief and stuffed the piece of paper in his bag. He swung his book bag over his shoulder, ignoring the whispers and the scowl the teacher was giving him.

" Hold up, Tai," He heard a smooth sarcastic voice from behind him.

Everything was JUST fine until YOU came along, he thought in dismay.

" Great answer, Tai. Huh? That was just hilarious," Haraku said, laughing his heart out.

" Shut up," Tai said, annoyed.

" Maybe if you weren't writing that chick's name, you would have known the answer," Haraku said, rolling his eyes.

" Bug off," Tai said.

" Calm down, Tai. I know you like the girl but will you just give up? The girl needs a man, not a klutz," Haraku said, " like a man like me for example."

" Hah! That's a laugh. Francoise has an itoshii, anyways," Tai said, and sighed.

" She has a BOYFRIEND? Which one?" Haraku asked.

" The one with the hair that covers one of his crimson eyes," Tai said.

" Hmph, figures," Haraku said.

" He's not so bad. He looks nice," A tiny shy voice said.

" That's what you think, Yuu," Tai said, shuddering. He said this because of personal experience.

" I also think he's nice," A kind voice said.

" That's what you think, Jiro," Tai said.

" Your just mad because he's her boyfriend and you had to be a fool and ask her out," Haraku said and snickered.

" Baka," Tai said.

Haraku laughed and to Tai's dismay and surprise, so did Jiro and Yuu.

*****

" She has a boyfriend?" The triplets all said at the same time.

" Yeah," Tai said bitterly.

" Hmm," Araku said, rubbing his chin, " sure wasn't expecting that one."

" Then," Akida said, " that means that the baby is...."

Everyone blushed ten shades of red. The boys were all walking back to the beach house. To Tai's dismay, Haraku told the triplets about everything that had happened the day before with Francoise.

" No," Yuu said. " I don't think the baby is theirs."

" Who cares what you think?" Haraku asked, annoyed.

" I agree with Yuu," Akira said, " the baby has blue hair. That's strange, don't you think?"

" Hey, I have blue hair," Yuu said, hurt. " What's so strange about it, Akira?"

" Um, nothing Yuu," Akira said, scratching the back of his head, grinning. " It's that the baby has blue hair, Francoise has blond hair, and Joe has chestnut hair. It doesn't make sense."

" Oh," Yuu said, blushing, " your right."

" But, maybe someone in Joe's family has blue hair or someone in Françoise's family has blue hair. You never know," Jiro pointed out.

" There's always that possibility too, Jiro. Your right," Takeshi said and smiled at his brother. " I know! Why don't we just ask her? Let's ask Francoise."

Everyone stared at Takeshi with wide eyes.

How can he even suggest such an absurd idea? Tai thought.

This is the only way to clear everything up, dimwit, his inner voice said.

" Why don't we?" Tai said.

There was moment of silence as everyone thought.

" Um...okay.." They all whispered.

Tai gulped. This wasn't going to be easy......

*****

Francoise was sitting on the couch in the empty living room. Joe was talking with Dr. Gilmore and Dr. Kazumi. Francoise was just cradling Ivan in her arms when-

" Um..Francoise?" A kind voice said, sheepishly.

She looked up from the infant in her arms to find all the young boys in front of her. The boys were all wearing a black uniform ( Imagine the uniform from Card Captor Sakura AKA Cardcaptors in the US. I love the boy uniform).

" Why hello boys. What brings you here?" She asked, kindly.

" Well... um," Tai said, staring at his feet with red cheeks. She raised an eyebrow.

" Well, you see..." Akida said, biting his lip.

" It's like this..." Akira said, red in embarrassment.

" We um..." Araku started but just bit his lip.

" Um....we um wanted to uh..." Haraku said, as red as can be.

" It's not simple..." Jiro said, blushing.

" Well...umm..." Takeshi said, playing with his fingers.

" We wanted to know if the baby in your arms in your baby. And if the father is the young man known as Joe," Yuu said, as if the matter was nothing.

Everyone stared at Yuu amazed. The youngest boy of them all had just done something they had failed to do. Their eyes fell again on the petite French girl.

Francoise was surprised that they had asked such a question. Her cheeks were burning and they were ten different shades of red. The boys were surprised to see her so red.

" Oh, um, no Ivan is not my baby. He's like my baby but we're not blood related. And didn't I say that Joe was only my boyfriend?" She said and smiled.

The boys all turned a crimson red and their heads hung low with embarrassment. Yuu looked up, sheepishly, at Francoise and a sheepish smiled graced his innocent features.

" We're sorry," He said, " that was absurd. We shouldn't have been so childish. It was very obvious in the first place and we beg your forgiveness."

Her eyes stared at Yuu with amazement. He had very nice grammar for his age and it was intriguing. She smiled kindly at the boys.

" There's nothing to forgive. It was a simple question. I don't mind. I was just surprised by it," She said and chuckled. " It's okay, really."

Tai stared at Francoise. She was amazing. Kind and graceful. Oh how he loved her! Her smile, her laugh, her eyes that were that of the ocean, and her hair that was like the sun in a bright, beach day. He blushed. He was so poetic and such a-

"Idiot," He mumbled to himself but no one heard him.

*****

Joe yawned as he stretched his arms and covered his mouth with one of his hands. Joe dragged himself to the front door and opened it to meet the rest of the team. Albert was messaging his hip while Jet was rubbing his temple. Pyunma was rubbing his eyes while Geronimo stretched. And G.B was messaging his shoulders while a happy Chang held a white envelope with a smile.

"We made a lot of money Joe!" Chang said, grinning. Joe smiled weakly and Jet frowned.

" Why are you tired?" Jet said annoyed. " We're the ones that worked our hardest today while a certain someone took a nap. Yeah, you had it easy."

" You know what Jet?" Albert said, angrily. " I am in NO mood to hear your unnecessary bickering. I'm tired, in pain, and grumpy. So just shut your mouth before I give you something to fight about."

Albert scowled and mumbled angrily as he went inside his room and slammed the door behind him. Though Chang didn't really care. He was too busy kissing his money. Geronimo rolled his eyes and walked into his own room.

" I don't see us getting our share of the green," G.B mumbled.

" I don't care about money, man. I just want to sleep. C'ya," Pyunma said and walked inside his own room.

" Me too," Geronimo said and walked inside his room.

" What ever," Jet mumbled and did as everyone else did.

" I don't see what they're mad about," Chang said, smiling. " They should be happy!"

"Yeah," Joe said, smiling.

" What's happening?" Françoise asked. Chang smiled and held an envelope in her face. She stared at the white long envelope, puzzled. She raised an eyebrow.

" Money," Joe said.

" Really?" She said, smiling.

" Yeah! I'm so proud of myself and the team!" Chang said.

" Where is the team?" Françoise asked, looking around the hall where all the bedrooms were in.

" Sleeping," Joe said, shrugging.

" Poor boys," She said, smiling slightly. " They had a rough day."

" Rough? They enjoyed it!" Chang said. Françoise held back a giggle.

" You think that, 006," Françoise said, grinning. Joe smiled and put an arm around her shoulders. Chang smiled and began walking away.

" I will!" Chang said, happily. " Ten, twenty, forty, fifty, eighty."

Joe chuckled. He stared down at Françoise who was also smiling at Chang's sudden happiness.

" I've never seen him so happy," Joe said, softly.

" Neither have I," Françoise said, with a smile. " I'm happy for him."

" Wish the team thought the same," Joe said. Françoise punched his shoulder softly and giggled.

" Joe your evil," Françoise giggled. Joe was about to protest when Dr. Gilmore came in with a serious look on his face. With that look, Joe's and Françoise's smile washed off and focused on the short elderly scientist.

" What's wrong, doctor?" Joe asked. His arm slid off Françoise's shoulders. Dr. Gilmore ran his fingers through his hair and smiled weakly.

" I hate myself for this," Dr. Gilmore said. " I hate having to ruin your vacation now but we have to go."

" Has something happened?" Françoise asked, trying to hide her dissapointment.

" Yes, my dear," Dr. Gilmore said. " You see, I got a letter from an old colleague of mine. He said that Black Ghost is working on a new male Cyborg. We must rescue this Cyborg before Black Ghost uses him against us."

Joe and Françoise nodded in dismay. Françoise sighed deeply. She felt Dr. Gilmore's hand on her shoulder and she stared at him.

" I'm sorry Françoise," He said, apologetically.

" It's okay, Dr. Gilmore," Françoise said, smiling weakly.

" Well, if you may call the rest of the team, I will appreciate it," Dr. Gilmore said.

" Okay," Joe said. Dr. Gilmore nodded and headed to the living room.

" Oh," Françoise said, in dismay. " This is going to be hard. Your waking up Jet and Albert."

" Why me?" Joe said, in despair.

" Because you're a guy and your stronger," She said.

" But you're a girl and there is a less probability of you getting hurt by them," Joe pointed out. Françoise pouted and she put on a sad face.

" Darn." Joe said and gulped. " You owe me."

" Yay! I knew that would work!" Françoise cheered.

" WHAT?" Joe said but before he could say anymore, Françoise opened Jet's door and pushed Joe into his room. She closed it and soon she heard Jet's yells. She smiled and began waking up everyone else.

A few minutes later..

" As I said, you owe me one," Joe said, rubbing his shoulder in pain.

" Wow, I didn't think they would hurt you that much," Françoise said, shrugging.

" Neither did I," Joe grumbled.

Everyone gathered in the living room and either leaned on the wall or sat on the couch. Dr. Gilmore cleared his throat.

" This is hard to say but we're leaving right now," He said.

There was silence while everyone except for Françoise and Joe stared at the man, confused and shocked.

" I'll explain later," Dr. Gilmore said. " Pack up."

They got up and Jet mumbled out curses and complaints. Albert did the same. Françoise walked inside her pink room and began packing up her clothes and stuff. In a few minutes she was done and she picked up Ivan.

" What's happening?" He asked. He was tired, she could tell.

" Dr. Gilmore will-"

" Nope, I read your mind," He said.

" You should really ask before you do that," Françoise said annoyed.

" Here, I'll pick these up," Joe said and grabbed both of her suitcases. She cradled Ivan in her arms outside her room.

" What's happening?" Yuu asked.

" We have to leave," She said.

" Why?" Yuu asked, hurt.

" Things came up," She said, simply.

Yuu bit his lip and walked away from her, obviously to tell the rest of the schoolboys. At once, she heard dozen of fast footsteps come towards her.

" Leaving? Why?" Tai asked, in despair.

" Something came up," She repeated,

" What did?" Haraku asked.

" Well, it's hard to explain," She said. She hated the visible tears in Yuu's eyes. Tears were also visible in Tai's eyes. " I'm sorry. I guess it's good-"

" Don't" Tai said, weakly. " No need for goodbye. You might come back, right?"

" Maybe. Hopefully," Françoise said, shrugging.

" Françoise!" Joe yelled from outside.

" I have got to go, boys. I hope to see you later. Stay in school and be good for Dr. Kazumi. Haraku, treat Yuu better and Tai, don't be so distracted in school over me," Françoise said. She smiled at the puzzled look on Tai's face. The rest of the boys looked confused too.

" How'd-" Tai started.

" Françoise!" Joe yelled.

" Coming!" Françoise said. " See you."

She kissed each of their cheeks and walked away. She heard sobs coming out of Yuu and she felt pain strike her heart.

I'm sorry, she thought.

*****

" What a coincidence," Jet said, sarcastically. " Another Cyborg. What will Black Ghost think of next?"

" Jet," Albert growled.

" Sorry," Jet mumbled.

Françoise pulled on her yellow scarf and bit her lip. She rubbed her temple with her index finger and tried to focus on the surrounding waters.

"We're almost there," She said. The men stared at her, carefully. An hour or two had past after leaving the beach house.

" So quick?" Chang asked.

" Yes," She said. " I can sense him. 0019 ( I like how that number sounds. I know I've used it in my new Cyborg 009 fic)," She said.

"0019?" G.B asked.

" So that's the punk who ruined our sleep," Jet said, rubbing his fist.

" You going to start again?" Albert asked.

" Uh, no," Jet said, shaking his head.

" We're here," Françoise said.

" Let's get him," Jet said. Albert grabbed the end of Jet's yellow scarf.

" We need a plan," Albert said.

" Oh yeah," Jet said, annoyed.

" Why doesn't 001 wake 0019 up?" Françoise suggested. " Jet can be in the sky ready to grab him. They can accelerate and we'll have the engines ready to make an easy escape."

The men stared at her amazed. Albert smiled and pinched her cheek. She blushed. She stared at him confused.

" How cute. I like that idea," He said. " Let's do it then. Jet go out without a word. 001 start waking 0019 up."

" Wake up."

(AN: Basically, 001 does the same thing he did with 009. I won't write it down since I think you all know what 001 said anyway.)

" This reminds me about the time that we rescued you, 009," Françoise said, smiling.

" I remember. I was so frightened. It's not every day when you hear a baby's voice in your head, you know," He said, smiling. Françoise giggled quietly. Twenty minutes later....

The doors opened and revealed Jet with a young nineteen year old boy. The boy had hazel hair and greenish-brown eyes. He had tan skin and was as tall as Joe. (AN: Sorry for interrupting again, but I decided to make a Hispanic male character since I noticed that the team has people from all part of the world except for Latin America. The character I created is based on my best guy friend who is actually from Brazil.)

" Who knew it was going to be that easy?" Jet said smiling.

" Start the engines and lets get out of here," Albert said. Pyunma nodded and started the engines which roared to life.

" Jet it wasn't that easy. I should know. I should have send 009 or 005," Françoise said, apologetically.

" Aww, don't worry about it," Jet said. The boy was quiet and didn't say or ask anything. He just stood there until Dr. Gilmore whispered something and 0019 took a seat.

" Where are we headed?" Albert asked.

" Well, we just can't go to Kazumi's home. I don't want to bring problems to him or the boys," Dr. Gilmore said. " I guess we'll just sail, like before."

Everyone groaned. Françoise shook her head and stared at 0019 for a while until he stared back. She smiled.

I wonder what can happen now? She thought.

There's no mercy in the Dolphin anymore.................

TO BE CONTINUED...............

SDA 009: So what did you guys think about this new chapter? I changed a lot of the plot and I have new ideas! Sorry for taking the Boys Dormitory away so fast but I felt a need to move on to the best new thing, you know.

009: On account you couldn't really think of anything else..

SDA 009: Sadly, your right. I was thinking a lot of my guy friend and I thought ' I wonder how he'll look as an anime character' and soon these ideas came in my mind and I couldn't help put use them before I forget. I'm sorry for taking so long on this chapter and I promise I'll have the next chapter up soon!

009: Sure. SDA 009: v_v I'll try, at least. Well, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and do review. One more thing, if you could, I would really appreciate it if you guys read my new Cyborg 009 fic. Just click on my penname. You can't miss it. Thanks. Here's the new poll:

How do you think the new Cyborg's personality should be like?

A.) Sweet and kind B.) Mean and grumpy C.) Playful and wild ( Hah! That reminds me of my best guy friend!) D.) Serious and tough

Do answer the poll. It will help me choose his personality. I made the character a boy because I despise Mary Sues ( Original female characters usually made as 0014 in this site.

009: Anyway, do as before! Review and include your answer in your review, please! This will help SDA 009 figure out 0019's personality.
