Magumi explains her stay to Kay. " OH..we didn't even get to that room!( refering to the children's room)!" Kaneda says. " They tranqualized him..it was bad..I'm gonna go back there and kick their asses!: Magumi shouts angrily. "Whoa. Got fiesty all uh a sudden.." Kaneda murmers. " Kaneda shut up!" Kay says. Kei leans against the kitchen was.. " He's got some sort of phyco ability." Kei says. " You mean phycic?" kay asks. " No..Phyco!" Kei shouts. " Things were flying everywhere!" He goes on excited. " He murmered AKira alot too.." Magumi mumbles. " AKira?" Kay asks suprised. " What's wrong? You know that name?" aska Kaneda leaning back in the chair. ",,,let me think..,,..,," Kay stares into space. " Kay?" asks Kaneda. Magumi leaves the room and heads outside. They area t Kaneda's and Tetsuo's place. Magumi sits on the outside steps. " Get over it.." She tells herself. " Maybe..maybe he isn't like he seems. Like ..that..jerk.." She thinks. She lays back on the top step and closes her eyes. Magumi thinks about her past.

*flashback..*

" You are such a dumb child!" screams her mother. " You call your gang your family? You little idiot!" She slaps her. " Your father would have never aproved!" She gets ready to slap her again. " HEY!" A boy steps in between. " Don't...Kio..just leave.." Magumi whispers. " Who is this?" Her mother asks angrily. " I am Kio and I am not gonna let you hurt Magumi any more!" Kio grabs her hand and they run out of the house. " Kio.." Magumi rubs her cheek. " Why...why did you go and do that?" Magumi starts to cry. " It's ok..Magumi I'm here for you.." Kio holds her.

He always was here for me. Than things started going down hill when the gang got more serious..

Kio was beating a rival gang member. The rival member was already unconcious, Kio was pissed and and kept beating him and beating him.." Stop!" Magumi tries to stop Kio. Kio pushed her back with bloody hands. " I don't need you!!!!" Kio screams. " Kio....you don't mean that.." She says. " YEAH I DO! You always are in my way! " He screams while beating the bloody rival. " Stop you'll kill him!" Magumi screams.

ANd that is exactly what he did..after that I was transfered here and live on my own. I never saw Kio again and I never want to..Tetsuo..you are different..

I wish I could help you...

"Are you okayA?" Kaneda asks walking out of the door and shutting it. Magumi opens her eyes. " Why would you care?" Magumi asks angrily. " Listen I really didn't think it was going to be this serious..I-" Kaneda leans against the door and crosses his arms. " I'- I'm sorry" Kaneda murmers. " Why do they want him for??" why do they want TetsuO???!" Magumi sits up and walks twards her parked bike. " Where the hell are you goin?" Kaneda shouts. " For a ride!" Magumi shouts. " A RIDE??!!!" asks Kaneda. " Yeah I am a big girl Kaneda I can take care of myself!" She rides off. " I appologized and she still is acting pissy!" Kaneda says running to his bike. He pops a pill in his mouth. " No..sleep..oh well.." He murmers riding after her. " HE wants to follow me does he?:" Magumi smiles. " OH GAWD!!" Kaneda scowls. " You know my bike is faster!!" kaneda shouts. Magumi flips him the bird*.( * the middle finger) " So you want to play?" Kaneda speeds up. Magumi turns suddenly. Kaneda easily follows her. " MAGUMI!!" He shouts. Magumi laughs.

Twenty minutes later......

Kaneda passes her and slides to a hault to stop her. Magumi stops inches from his bike. Kaneda grabs the collar ( well i don't know if you'de call it a collar) of her swearshirt." What the hell are you doing????" asks Kaneda. she smiles. " Look where we are.." she murmers. kaneda looks around. He lets go of her collar and stares in awe. " H..h..wha when?....???" He stammers. They're back at the man hole that leads to the strange place. Kaneda shaked his fist . " You don't give up do ya????" Kaneda shouts. " You don't haft to come in.." Magumi is already half way down the man hole. " Au...I'll go get the others.." Kaneda slaps his forhead. " He goes under with her. " I can't believe I'm doing this.." Kaneda murmers.

Soon there are in the hallway, which is dark (dim) now. " Tetsuo.." Magumi whispers. " Do you think he can hear you with all theese rooms?" Kaneda whispers angrily. "SHHHHHHH!" she tells him.

" It says on the door!" Magumi says outloud. " SH! It does....Shima." Kaneda whispers. "Whoa look at this lock.." Kaneda whispers. " MOVE!" Magumi whispers angrily. She grabs a medium wrench out of Kaneda's pocket. " Hey! How did-" Kaneda starts. "SHHHHH!!!!!!!" magumi says. She stabs the thick metal hinges untill one pops off, than the next. They open the door. Quietly. Very Quietly. Tetsuo is lieing in bed, appearing to be sleeping. " Tetsuo!" Magumi hops on the bed and shakes him. " no...no AKIRA!!!" Tetsuo sits up in cold sweat. He blinks alot when he sees Magumi. "Tetsuo!" Magumi whispers. " Ma-gumi..?" Tetsuo hugs Magumi tightly. Magumi holds on to him back. Kaneda watched in disgust. " Oo Tetsuo OOOO Magumi OOOOO" He murmers, mockin gthem. " Kaneda!" Tetsuo murmers. " Don't you Kaneda me! let's get the hell out of here!" Kaneda says. " Good-" Tetsuo strts. " DO you--smell..gas?" Magumi asks. Tetsuo holds Magumi. " Oh...feeln' kinda woozy.." Kaneda drops to the floor like a brick. " What's going...on.." Magumi pases out. Tetsuo holds her tightly loosing conciousness.

"They've been gassed,sir." Miss Gena reports. " FIne are they the same ones?" The old man asks. " Yes, sir.. 41 seems to get angy everytime the girl leaves..requesting per-" she is cut off. " Granted. I've noticed.." the old man answers. " But th eboy...it him in solitary confinment.." The old man commands. " Yes sir..." Miss Gena says.

Later that night...

Tetsuo wakes up. He slowly opens his eyes. Magumi is sleeping in his arms. He puts his head against hers and holds her close. He closes his eyes. " I don't want to loose you.." He whispers softly. Kaneda wakes up. He loooks around. He is sourounded by padded walls and a knobless metal door. Even the floor is padded. " Oh, wel this is just perfect..thanks Magumi!" He rubs his head. " Where is she?"

Meanwhile:

" where is Kaneda?" Kei asks. " I don't know!" Kay says. " Keisuke!!!" Kay shouts. " What if-" kay starts. " What if htey went back to save Tetsuo???!!!" She asks.
