Bad comments hurt man! _ Well I'll try to ignore them but.. it still isn't nice. You know what? Don't like it, don't comment at all! How's that sound? Fine to me! =P Anyway on with the fic!

I opened my eyes and looked at the alarm clock on the desk. It was 8:00 PM. It seemed I couldn't sleep any further.. although I was off duty..

I just came back from a big mission yesterday and felt horrible.. I lost most off my men and the mission was a failure, so Dr. Cain sudjested that I took the day off tomorrow to calm myself. I was too tired to argue so now it seems I have nothing to do for one whole day...... It was nice of the doc though. I don't have many day offs. But I just hate the feeling of me relaxing while others are out there fighting against those mavericks for world peace.

I stood up, and took a shower and combed my hair, thinking about what I should do for the day. Then I thought about Zero...

Zero was my best friend and partner against crime. Nothing more... I was confused about that fact for a while because I had some dreams about him. No, not that kind of dreams! But it was.. well... I had the same dream over and over and that means something right?

------------------------

I did my eyes open. It was all pitch black around me. All I could see was a strange door with a small right-angled window in it. A bright line of white light shone from the window. It was the only light in the dark atmosphere and the only thing I could see. I touched the walls for an image of where I was and felt a chill. I discovered that I was completely naked. I tried to find a way out of the dark space, but after searching and touching, I couldn't find one. I yelled and panicked, but my voice didn't seem to work. I banged my fists against the walls, shouting and kicking. Finally I heard a loud click and the door swung open. I could see a silhouette of a dark figure standing before me. I saw his shining red eyes looking down at me. I was afraid of the un-known man and tried to scream. He walked to me and could feel his arms around me, lifting me up. I was shocked and didn't protest. I let him carry me to the light, stepping into it. The light was blinding my eyes. I looked up at him and saw that it was Zero holding me. He looked at me with a warm smile, hugging me closer.

-----------------------

Next I wake up, confused.

You can't say that this means nothing.

I shook my head, trying to get my mind out of the dream and walked into my room. I opened the closet and pulled my blue armor on. I always wear my armor, even when I have a day off. You can never know when there will be an emergency and you're needed. I put my helmet on and walked out of my room.

---

I walked to the group of hunters surrounding the schedule in the hall. I made my way to the board while shoving some hunters away to look for Zero's name. It seemed that Zero had nothing behind his name, so nothing to do for this day. ... That is strange. Zero always had a busy schedule. Never had the time to do something else besides educating rookie hunters and doing dangerous missions out in the field. Well I have that also. But Zero likes to rest and doing nothing for once in a while. Although he can't do it that much, since he is one of the few A- class hunters. I don't like it because of that feeling I have while doing nothing. But still... it was weird that Zero had the same day off too. He didn't tell me.. Well, it's nicer to have the day of with a friend than without. Now I can do something nice with Zero. ^_^

... 0_o

I shook my head again and decided to walk to his room.

---

I pushed a button next to his door and whispered into the tiny holes in the wall. "Zero..? Zero, are you awake..? Can I come in?"

....

No answer.

I decided to talk louder into the speaker this time. "Zero, are you there?"

Still there was no response. It seemed he wasn't there.

I looked around the hall for other hunters, but saw none. I pushed Zero's code and the door slid open. Hunters aren't allowed to enter other hunter's rooms without the owner of the room with them. But Zero wouldn't mind if I got in his room. I also knew Zero's code because I remembered it was his day of activation (well not the official activation but the time he was brought in after the fight with Sigma and being re-programmed.) And I just can't forget a best friends 'birthday' now can I? ^_^

I walked into the room and closed the door behind me. Seemed Zero wasn't there after all.... I looked in the room, noticing that Zero's room was quite messy again. Zero doesn't like to clean things up. Then something caught my eye.. On his bed, (no not a pod we sleep in sometimes to recover our injuries and sleep at the same time, but on Zero's normal 'human' bed.) Lay a small red book, never noticed Zero had before, with a pen lying next to it. It looked like an old dairy humans use. I made sure again no one was in the room and walked to the bed and sat on it. Looking around once more for others, I picked the red book in my hands and looked on the cover. There was a white sticker on the cover with 'Zero's dairy' written on it with a black pen. I knew I shouldn't read what's inside of the book but couldn't resist opening it. I just wanted to know what's going on in that pretty head of his. Just a little peek.that's all. I opened it on a page around the middle of the book. And read the following.

Date: August 8 21XX

Hey... that's a few days ago...

I had that damn dream again. I really don't know if I should tell X about them. He might be shocked and scared of me. I hope my weird dream will end soon, it's making me nuts! I can't concentrate at all. I just keep thinking about ...

Shiii

I heard the sound of a door opening, and looked at the door.....

And saw a shocked Zero in the door opening.

Ow crud...
