Kaito ran up to me and hugged me, "Yuma-kun!"
"Kaito…" I hugged him back. Kaito's alright! I'm so glad. I looked up, Master stood there smiling. Everyone is fine! Wait…
I stepped back and smiled at Kaito, "um… where… is Kira?"
"Kira-kun?" Kaito smiled, "he should be fine."
"Really! Where is he? And Yoshino, Katsu, and Shinta?" I asked happily.
Kaito stopped smiling, "they… aren't here…"
"Eh?" I turned to look back at Kaito, "why?"
"They are down there…"
"Down… there…" I repeated.
"All those no-life bums you saw. Those people are the Gomi. Your friends are part of that," Gakupo explained.
"Why?!" I turned to him in panic.
"Simple. They don't have money," Gakupo went on. "There are two groups in this society. The Gomi and the Tenshi. Trash, and Angels. The Tenshi consists of people with money and they own a business. In other words, those who have money. The Gomi consists of those who can't afford anything, don't have a good business, or are old and ill. The only way a Gomi can get into this place, or any place for a matter a fact, is to become a slave."
"Like a butler?" I questioned.
"If you're lucky enough to get a good Master, then yes. Most Gomi here are women, bought by men for… things," Gakupo sighed, "I haven't informed you have I, Yuma. Since that incident… it has been 14 years."
"14… years?!" I backed away, "you're lying! How can just 14 years pass!"
"It took forever to fix you," Master sighed. "Plus, we didn't get to work on you right away because of my brother." Master looked at Gakupo, "we only managed to get a few Vocaloids back…"
"A few? Where are the others?" I asked.
"Most likely destroyed, or taking in more programs to make them only listen to one master," Master looked away. "I couldn't save them…"
"Only the ones who heard Kaito regained some of themselves again," Gakupo explained. That's right… I remember him stopping in the middle of killing Kaito and I… like something was holding him back. Gakupo slammed his fist on the wall, "everyone! Everyone is gone!"
"Gakupo…" I stared at him. Maybe I shouldn't have asked…
"Gakupo-kun," Kaito began.
Gakupo looked at him, "it's not your fault, Kaito." He straightened up.
"Prepare a room for Yuma-kun. Show him around so he is used to this…" Kaito went on, "tomorrow you will start your training…"
"Training?" I questioned.
"Gakupo-kun will train you how to use a sword," Kaito answered.
"Why?"
"Enough questions."
I went silent. Kaito… he changed so much… I slowly followed Gakupo out of the room. I glanced back at the others. Everyone is so depressed… Why is our earth like this? Gakupo held out his fist. I closed my eyes tightly thinking that he was going to hit me.
"Take it," Gakupo loosened his grip, letting Kira's necklace dangle down.
The necklace was clean. No trace of blood was left on it. I held out my hands. Gakupo dropped in into my palms, then continued walking.
.
"This is going to be your room," Gakupo stopped at a door. He opened the door and we walked in. He closed the door behind him and locked it. I looked around, opening draws, and anything openable. I found a small box and opened it. There was nothing in it, but is was decorated so beautifully. I turned to Gakupo, "Gakupo, what is-!"
I pointed at Gakupo, "why are you stripping again?!"
"Hah?" Gakupo glared at me, "this is also my room! I'm going to take a bath!"
"You're my roommate?! Why does it have to be you!" I complained.
"Shut up already," Gakupo grabbed a towel that hung over the bunk bed. He headed into the bathroom and slammed the door, "no peeking."
"Why would I want to look at you!" I snapped. I sighed and sat down on the bottom bed. I can't believe he is my roommate… If it was Kaito I would probably die anyways… I shook my head, shut up Yuma. I hugged the pillow, "I wonder… where Kira and the others are…"
I have to see them and make sure they're safe… I sat up. I will go out… I stared out of the window, into the world below. I held out the necklace, "just you guys wait… I promise to get you out of there."
I got up and began rummaging through Gakupo's stuff. Hmm? What's this… a diary? I opened the book and began reading:
Day 2 - It hurts… whatever that man did to us… I feel like i'm losing control of my body…
Day 14 - It's getting difficult to write… what I am thinking.
This… is a ll from when Gakupo was taken away from Master by Mashiro… I set the book down and sighed. Gakupo and everyone else is trying their best to get all the others back… Yet, I just woke up…
I picked up the tiny box that I took out when I first came in and sat down on the bed. I wonder what this box is for. He might get mad if he sees me with this…
"You can take a bath now," Gakupo walked out. He stared at the box in my hand, "I am guessing that you were never taught to not look through peoples things."
I sat up, "you're not angry?"
"Not exactly… that box is useless," Gakupo grabbed a brush and began combing his hair, "you can have it if you want."
"Really?" I stood up. I took off my shirt and went into the room Gakupo came from. "If you say so~" I glanced back at him, "no peeking."
"Just take a bath," Gakupo sighed as he searched through his closet.
"Yeah~" I closed the door behind me. "Now a bath after all of that crazy-!" I stared at the bathroom in amazement, "wh- what… is this…" The bathroom was extremely large. I walked to the 'possibly' shower structure. I stared in confusion, "so much… buttons…"
I sighed and took off the rest off my clothes and threw them near the entrance. I guess I'll just press random buttons and see what happens… I stepped in and touched the buttons lighty. What is this is some kind of lock for a shower… I shook my head, who would lock a shower? I laughed at my thoughts and pressed the button on the outer side.
"GYAAAAA!"
A/N: Thank you for waiting so long for this... Yeah... Thank you... I hoped you liked this chapter... This is going to be quite long I think...
