Kasumi awoke in a small chamber. She was sitting in a chair and her head, hands and feet were strapped down to the chair. She couldn't move at all. There was one door and a window on it. She tried to look outside the window, but her position didn't let her move around enough to see anything. She sighed. Where am I? I don't remember. where's Hayabusa? Hayabusa. Suddenly, she drifted off to sleep again. The last thing she heard was many murmurs. "Is it going okay? Is she asleep? .what if it doesn't work?" It all seemed to drift away.

Hayabusa was being pushed by guards into the huge laboratory, where the so- called cloning machine was. He spotted Rei talking to a guard. "We don't have much time." She seemed not to notice he was there. Then, the guard pointed to Hayabusa. Rei looked over and nodded. She started to walk over to where he was. Then, suddenly one of the guards let Hayabusa's arms go. Alucard. "Hayabusa, run, now!" he whispered. Hayabusa pretended to still be led by the guard, but as soon as she got close to Hayabusa, he kicked her to the face and grabbed the tranquillizer gun from her hand, seeing as she wanted to put him to sleep. He quickly shot her with a dart, and then shot the two remaining guards. They all fell quickly to the floor, fast asleep. Alucard ran off, but with a nod to Hayabusa. The gun was empty, so it was of no use. He threw it to the side, and ran quickly to the huge machine. Kasumi. He looked in the small door and saw Kasumi chained to a chair, and she was fast asleep, her head down. He pounded on the door, but she didn't wake up. He tried pulling at the door but it was jammed shut. There was no keyhole, so it had to be opened after something. He looked around the machine, and then spotted a small panel with a lot of information on it. He quickly read the report that was left on the computer. She wants to clone the both of us. she's cloning Kasumi now. then she obviously wants to kill us. but it says that the door can only be opened after the cloning process, which means that I can't open it until she's cloned. Then a small program caught his eyes. It was a small meter of how much cloning was done. 64% . almost done. He walked back to the door feeling completely helpless. He looked into the window. I won't let down my best friend. even though his brain's been messed with, I will get you back for Hayate. It was my promise to him. Suddenly, he noticed Rei stir a bit, and he walked over to her and checked her pulse. She'll come to soon. ugh, not now. As soon as he turned to walk away to check on Kasumi, Rei stirred a bit. She slowly opened her eyes and pulled the small dart out of her arm. God damn kid . She quietly crept so he wouldn't hear her, and then she did a kick to his knees, to make them give out. He fell against the door and hit his head, but rolled over and kicked her in the stomach, but she caught the kick. She countered with a punch and a few knife hand blocks and then finally knocked him out with her signature move. She took his hand and being lazy, dragged him to a wall and snapped her fingers. Instantly, two guards came. They bound Hayabusa's hands together with rope and stood beside him and waited for him to wake up. Rei walked over to check the machine. "Ah, excellent. 99 %. In a few seconds, we can open the machine and see how well our cloning machine has done. on a real human." She laughed maliciously. The machine began to shake violently, but after a few minutes it stopped abruptly. Rei pushed the door open, and walked inside the machine. She untied Kasumi from the chair and picked her up. She placed her on the ground, and walked to the back. There was another door. She snapped her fingers again, and a guard showed up with a small crown. She took the crown and walked into the machine. There was a small room with a table, which had small metal shackles on it. There was a yellow cover on the table, and she uncovered her head. "Ahh splendid, she does look like Kasumi." She placed the crown on her head, allowing Rei full control over Kasumi 2's brain. "Excellent." The man in white garb that she was previously talking to had come in to examine the clone. "It looks just like her.and the crown will work. Now for the boy." She walked out of the room, but he spoke first, "I'll allow for you to take care of the boy, he is most troublesome. I will set up this Kasumi.tell the guards to take the other one back to the cell. We'll discuss what to do with her later." Rei nodded and bowed. "Of course my liege." He smirked. "It's so easy to control people.even Ayane was able to be controlled easily." He picked up the clone in the yellow cover, and carried her to the outside of the laboratory and started to tinker with the slave crown, while Rei was shouting out orders to everyone. He saw the boy being led to the machine, but the boy quickly glanced over to him. He must recognize my former self. but I do not recall him.

Kasumi woke up again, in the cell. Except this time, her hands were not bound. She looked around and felt woozy, as if she had run for an hour. She held her head. His voice. I don't hear it anymore. She suddenly felt a screeching sound in her head and fell over.

She was running, quickly. A small ponytail of auburn hair. Only 10. She was only 10. She was running around the back of their old house, which looked like a small forest with trees of cherry blossoms and it was sunny. Very sunny. "Hayate!" She shrieked. "Hayate, where are you?" She giggled, seeing Hayate behind a tree. She ran to tag him. "I found you fair and square, Hayate-Chan!" He shook his head. "No fair Kasumi, you always win!" She smiled and stuck her tongue out at him. Suddenly, Hayabusa came running up from the other side of the house. "Hayate-San, come with me now. There is urgent business." He looked at Hayabusa. "Now? What about Kasumi?" He looked at Kasumi. "I don't know. We can't leave her here.take her with." Hayate shook his head. "Hayabusa, I can't go. I have to stay home with mom and dad and Ayane. take Kasumi." He looked down. "Alright.I'll do it only because you asked me to." Hayate put a hand on his shoulder. "Take care of my little sister.protect her Hayabusa-kun." He nodded. "Just promise that one day we'll meet again." Hayabusa picked Kasumi up and carried her piggyback style. "C'mon Kasumi, we'll have a lot of fun." She looked back and screeched, "Hayate-Chan!" As she couldn't see anymore.

But that was so long ago.

Hayabusa remembered this in the chamber. He frowned. Maybe our journey meant nothing after all.

The dream faded slowly away from Kasumi and was replaced with something else. Darkness. Complete and total darkness. Where is this place.? She heard voices from far away, they were very faint. "Kasumi.where are you?" She tried to respond but it only came out in a whisper. "What took you so long?" "Where am I? ".Who am I?" "It's not over yet." "Can I fight? . This time I'll fight.I won't fall." She couldn't see anymore and seemed to be falling asleep. She couldn't see through the darkness. Suddenly, there was a small light. "You are Kasumi. You can fight. You will fight. Don't worry. You can do this."

"We'll go together."

She slowly stopped dreaming, and slept. She slept dreamlessly.

Hayabusa felt faint in the chamber. What if I can't save Kasumi? What if Hayate never comes back.? He shook his head. No.
