Amai Ao

"So...this is you...dad?" Blue hair, pale skin, and lots of different features. Did she take after her mother or something? Or maybe adopted? Yet she still seemed ever so familiar to another person he knew, only older. Uh, his head. He'll have to go to a doctor later to deal with his headaches.

"Adopted." The girl called Full Tuning said. "Let's just say my...mom, wasn't around." Or more like wasn't even aware of her. In truth, aside from the 'Sisters', Amai, and a few researchers, noody, not even the original or her mother, knew about her existence. Not even Last Order knew as she wasn't connected to the Network like the others.

"I see." Touya said feeling a bit bad for the girl. Sara was kinda like that in retrospect. He then looked at her 'father'. "I guess he's your guardian then. But, what happened to him?"

"Right, that." Full Tuning said sitting down on a chair next to the bed where Amai rested in unconscious. "Let's just say my dad here got involved in a rather risky business, one that didn't end so well for him." Making clones which were technically illegal would definitely count as one. "Long story short, due to the business going crap shot, dad here entered debt. A lot to."

Yeah, that makes sense. When one enters a business, lots of things could happen. With a business being either successful or failing big time, affecting the people that worked there. With some entering loads of debt, which wasn't pretty. Yet, narrowing his eyes, Touya saw some bandages with what appears to be dried up blood.

"The business he entered...was it some gang or something?" He asked with Full Tuning noticing Touya looking at the bandages.

"That." She then said with her brow furrowing a little. "It was caused by an employee, deciding to take matters into her own hands." She was actually there when it happened. Soon after the experiment of raising Accelerators level was called off, Full Tuning escaped her little tube and spent a little while wandering with no real purpose. Unlike her other 'sisters', she didn't have access to the Network due to her being made completely autonomous. So she had no idea what was going on or why these things were happening.

Luckily, she then remembered about Amai who had designed her and figured she could find him for help. It took a while, but eventually she found her way to him only to see him and a few other people on the ground with everyone bleeding along with a smaller clone which she recognized as Last Order. She then quickly grabbed her 'father' and took him away while also doing her best to preserve his life, keeping them away from the authorities. It hadn't been easy.

"How come you haven't taken him to a hospital? Because while it looks like you've done well, clearly it's limited." The sheets looked old and the equipment on him didn't exactly look the best. If anything this stuff is barely passable to be used for helping the injured. Plus, the girl didn't seem like someone who's good in medical expertise, which may explain why there were books nearby that involved the human body.

"Unfortunately, my dad isn't exactly able to enter a hospital. Due to...circumstances." After taking him away, the city just figured he was killed by Accelerator, thinking they reduced him to nothing. If she took him to a hospital, the city would be alerted that he was still alive, and then deal with him. Unlike the woman who shot him, Amai didn't have the privilege of being allowed to be freed. After all, with his debt and the fact the city made certain to push all the problems onto him, there was no way he'd survive at all. Such was the cruelty of the Dark Side of Academy City.

"Then...you've been living here all on your own?" Touya took another look at the place she was living in. Small, dirty, and rather pathetic. "Can't you just get these sisters of yours to help? Maybe they can help you."

"I thought of that. But it would be a bad idea." It wasn't like Full Tuning distrusted her sisters or anything, at most she just felt cautiously toward them as she couldn't connect to them. However, if she ever showed herself to them, it would put Amai at risk.

While she usually just stayed here taking care of him, when she wasn't out stealing food and equipment, she was watching her sisters. It was there she had learned about two individuals they seemed to care about. The savior, the person who protected them from being slaughtered like pigs, and the protector. Someone who dealt with any threats to the sisters as a whole.

AKA, Accelerator. Also the very same person that her father actually managed to cripple causing permanent brain damage. If she told her sisters who she wanted to help, no doubt that information will head to Last Order herself, who would likely tell Accelerator of all people. Where Full Tuning would then expect a visit from the Number 1 himself with a good chance of death.

Thus the reason why she went to the supposed savior, figuring he would help. Overhearing how he was the type to help anybody, no matter their allegiance. I mean, he's friends with Accelerator, the guy who killed thousands of her sisters, so surely he'd help her father, a man who planned on killing just as many but didn't due to interventions.

'Thinking on it...It might be better not to tell the Savior this information at all.' Last thing she wanted was to scare him. On the bright side, Full Tuning is quite glad the savior was the type of idiot she could use to help her and her dad possibly escape this situation. While she wasn't complaining, even she questioned the saviors reasoning to help people who could be bad. Unlike her sisters, she never really saw him in action or knew him well.

As such, next to Worst and Last Order, she's the third clone not to be in love with him. Oh, make that fourth. Wasn't there the prototype clone called Dolly?

"Okay." Touya then said having somewhat understood the situation. "So let me get this straight. This guy, Amai, is your adopted father after your mom left. But he then got into some shady dealing and got shot for it, and you're taking care of him because you fear those after him might finish the job if they knew he was still alive?"

"In a word, more or less, yes." Granted, this man's own deductions weren't entirely right, but Full Tuning will go with it. Like she can say she's actually a clone and this man tried killing her younger sister along with many other people in a fit of madness ...Why was she helping him again?

"Hm, I see." Touya knew he didn't know all the details, but clearly this man had problems that affected his life. On the bright side, it seemed his daughter took very good care of him. However, it's clear that eventually even her treatment would run out due to her limited knowledge and equipment. While it might not be today or tomorrow, or even the day after, eventually this man will die due to lack of proper care. Full Tuning did her best, but this wasn't a permanent solution.

"Hold on a second, do you have a phone?" He then asked Full Tuning who just raised a brow.

"Yeah." She replied taking out a very familiar phone along with a familiar wallet. "Yours. Also, I 'borrowed' some money for food. Thanks for that by the way." She said tossing him his things with a slight tick mark appearing on his forehead. However, instead of saying anything, he just kept it in. No matter how angry he wanted to yell.

Grabbing the phone he then opened it up.

"Who are you calling?" Full Tuning asked her hand slightly sparking up a little. Touya flinched, but didn't stop what he was doing. Though it might be safe to tell her, lest he wants another electrical shock on him again.

"Don't worry. I'm calling a good man." He said which got Full Tuning to put down her hand, though still stared at him on the off chance Touya was being deceitful. Good thing he wasn't planning on it. While Touya didn't know what Level this girl is, even a level 1 or 2 could easily kick his behind since his powers were more focused on business planning and the like. Not fighting and running.

His phone buzzed a little with a small ringing coming out. A click was heard as someone then answered. "Hello?"

"Hey. I was wondering if you do home surgery?"

"Huh?"

"And there we go. That should help your 'father' more or less." Inside a room were four people. The first being Amai, who while still asleep looked a lot better. Having a change of clothes, fresh bandages, and more suitable equipment that looked nice and new.

The second is Touya who smiled, knowing he did a job well done, and is glad he helped one person. Granted, he had a feeling this person might have done bad things, but so what. That didn't mean he wasn't going to not help the man.

The third of course is Full Tuning, whose mouth was opened in shock with her eyes opened wide as she witnessed the person who just helped her father. A man known as a legend in the hospital community or whatever they call it. Who had skills so vast, that no matter the condition he allowed the person to be back on their feet. Even those who lost said feet.

As for the fourth who was in this room, washing his hands now as to not get any bacteria on his patient, is a man well known to many that personally knew him. Having a face that eerily looked like a frog, his nickname is known as Heaven Chancellor. Who just happened to be on Touya's contact list and arrived at the second Touya asked him to.

"How…" Full Tuning said in disbelief. Her eyes still portraying shock that the legend of the hospital was here, right now. "How is he here...And how do you even know him?"

Touya just chuckled. A bit happy that he caused the girl some shock, and personally considering it worth it for her shocking him. Still, her question had weight to it. How could an ordinary man who just arrived in the city a while ago even know this man. It shouldn't even be possible. And yet he did the impossible. As such, Full Tuning just had to know.

"Simple." Touya then said. "He's the man who helps my son. So getting his number was easy." Not to mention this wasn't the first time he actually talked to the Heaven's Chancellor. Anytime Touma got himself injured, this doctor would tell him that his son got injured and he patched him up.

Granted, the frog faced doctor couldn't tell Touya the exact truth of his son's injuries. Aleister made certain of that, and while the good doctor didn't like lying, he knew it was for the best. If his parents knew the real injuries their son gained, then they'd likely try to get him out of the city. And unfortunately Aleister's plans relied on the boy heavily, and would no doubt try to do something to deal with the parents. Permanently.

"In any case, Mr. Kamijou, I hope next time call me for a home visit, the location wouldn't be so abandoned and dirty." At that Full Tuning blushed. While it could be excused about the location, which was an abandoned apartment in one of the districts, admittingly she never did clean up the place. And not because she didn't have time or anything, but simply because she was...lazy.

"Yeah. This place is a bit of a-" Before Touya could even finish that line, he saw Full Tuning spark a little. "...But I'm sure our friend here tried her best. Hehehe."

"I can see that." The doctor said facing Full Tuning, fully aware of who she is. "While not exactly in proper conditions, I have to admit you did well in taking care of your 'father' here."

"Yeah…" Full Tuning said with a tinge of red on her face. "And, not that I'm complaining, but, you do know who he is, right. And...what he tried to do." She may not have known much, but she's fully aware Amai tried killing many people by using the Sisters. While it was done in a fit of desperation and madness, it still didn't excuse his actions at all. So while glad the doctor helped him, it also confused her on why he would even do so.

"Well, I admit that there isn't a real reason. However, I am a doctor first and foremost, my patients past and actions do not matter to me. I will help them to the best of my abilities, no matter what." While that sounded like a rehearsed line, to Full Tuning she felt the sincerity of the man, and gave a small nod to the doctor. Though he wasn't done yet. "Besides. Even if he did do questionable things, it isn't as if he's the only one."

Accelerator and his caretaker Yoshikawa, while having atoned and have better paths now, like Amai also doesn't mean what they did in the past was inexcusable as well. Yet now they were leading a much healthier life. So why shouldn't this man not be offered the same opportunity as well? Perhaps he can even change.

"Of course if he's going to rehabilitate, someone should be there for him." Heaven Chancellor said as he then looked at Full Tuning with a smile. "And who better than his 'daughter'. After all, with my work here is done, he should be able to wake up in a few weeks or so. Though he'll need help if he even wants to walk straight."

"...I see. Understood." Full Tuning nodded her head, grateful to the doctor. She then turned to Touya as well, also giving a nod. "And thank you as well Mr. Kamijou...you're...a lot like your son in a sense. Or maybe he takes after you?"

"Hehe. I'd like to think so." Touya said rubbing the back of his head. Feeling some slight praise at being compared to his son. He must be a very well known good person here. "I guess you wanted him since you knew he had a kind heart to help your father."

"Yep." Full Tuning aid making him smile. "According to one of the sisters, Worst I think, your son is known to be an idiot who helps people who have hurt others and usually sends people in the hospital. Aiding them to."

"..."

"..."

And there went the smile, turning down at what he had just heard. Heaven Chancellor just shaking his head. Technically what Full Tuning said wasn't wrong...but with the way she said it, just made Touma sound like a rotten person who helped bad guys and preyed on the weak. Seems that even though she had a true personality unlike the other sisters with the exception of Worst, Last Order, and Dolly, she still acted a bit off herself.

Meanwhile, Touya was once more wondering just what it was his son does in this city...And if he needs to call the cops on him.

And so ends another chapter, with our favorite father now full blown worried at what his son is doing. Makes sense really. While Touma in a way 'reforms' his enemy's, they still act rather bad in a way. I mean, Accelerator killed so many clones and hurt others, and Touma helped him. Let's not forget Leivinia, Carrisa, and so on. Granted what Full Tuning said wasn't wrong...but boy will that make a misunderstanding. Until Next Time.

….I wonder how Accelerator and Yoshikawa would react to Amai being alive?
