Android Kikaider the Animation: Stolen Moments
What happens when Mitsuko happens to find Jiro suffering from becoming human? And what will the cost be when Jiro goes out of control?
Chapter One - Bring Me To Life
***
He walked down the small confines of the dark alley way of this cold hearted city. He had no idea where he was intending to go, but he knew he didn't care. For himself, it felt everyday was gonna dawn a new day and the same suffering he had been haunted for the past few weeks. It didn't feel like a new day right now though, it was already dark and it seemed night time by now. The city crowded with people, mostly going to work or to get a drink in the local bars. He had wished he was as calm and serened as the people that were hurrying down the sidewalks, he had wished he was the one driving a car that sped in the streets of this dark moody city. That was the question that remained with his head - Where was he? He has been wandering for the past couple of days, walking miles and miles around, and he had lost track of where he was. Had he just lost memory?
Jiro wandered closly to the busy metropilan area close by, his eyes almost turning into a bright red, seeing the people hurrying down the streets and sidewalks, faster and faster and he soon saw nothing but the motion blur of the city... That's when he felt the first flinch of pain coming from his chest.
"Not- not again!" he screamed. He gave a loud moan of pain, as he clenched his hand near his chest - the area where the heart is suppose to be. This new life he had earned by saving the world from destruction - had become an eternal suffering.

Mitsuko closed the door of the front office, digging into her right pocket of her skirt, she carefully pulled out the key and locked the door shut so no one could get in. She sighed, feeling a bit of exhaustion from work earlier in the day. She hated this new life, a life she had to deal with herself. Ever since her father had gotten better from the brain transplant and married yet another woman, Mitsuko had to start her studies. This meant she had to move away from the house she once knew, and she could never go back. The truth of it stabbed her again - from her mother's death to her new life in this city - the city they had once visited before when they searched for Jiro. The rain fell steadily now from the dark sky, and Mitsuko pulled out her umbrella. Softly she went down the pavement steps, and heard the beat of the raindrops falling on her umbrella. Mitsuko worn a tired and depressed look on her face, as if she didn't want this life anymore.
"If only-..." she whispered then shook her head as she passed a throng of people who were hurrying down the sidewalks.
Not now, I can't think about that now she thought in her head, feeling a bit of sadness and sorrow within her. She didn't want to, but she couldn't help remembering Jiro's face. She replayed his voice the last moment she ever saw him:
'No, Jiro.' she had said.
'Your father and these robots...Gill treated them like they were tools to be used and thrown away. I have to end this, once and for all.' he told her
At that moment, she couldn't bear the pain of leaving Jiro - possibly for the last time in her lifetime, and that was when she let go of the tears that she tried holding back and then quickly - pressed her warm lips to his cold ones. She couldn't care in the world if his body was made of scrapped metal, what she cared most was that she loved him...and nothing could hold her back from doing so. As she parted lips she told him with a teary voice...
'Jiro, I'll be waiting. Promise me you'll come back.'
With that, Jiro stood their and nodded and that was the last time she ever saw him. As soon as she waited for him outside, she saw the DARK headquaters explode, breaking down into debres. To her horror Mitsuko let out a horrid scream...
'JIRO!!!!'
After the moment, she found herself standing in the middle of the busy sidewalk. She shook her head and she continued to walk through the rainy night. But even if it was only 6 months ago, she couldn't help but think about Jiro, and the concern started to take over her again. What really happened to him? Did he walk off somewhere alone? Was he killed? She winced at that thought, but all she could think about is the question that had remained after 6 long devastating months without him...
Where is Jiro?
***
//how can you see into my eyes like open doors?
leading you down into my core
where I've become so numb
without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home\\
Jiro wandered aimlessly, clutching his heart as if it were having a massive heart attack. His eyes closed tightly as he walked closer and closer to the metropilan area, feeling weaker and weaker. His body couldn't take it any longer and he bent down on his knees, using the wall for leverage. He wanted the torment to stop, but he knew he couldn't stop it. He didn't want the submission circut out of him, and yet he wanted the suffering to stop. He continued to clutch his chest painfully, feeling the impact of the submission circut.
He knew this torment would continue. But what he didn't know was that someone he knew like 'heaven's light' was coming his way...
//(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become\\

Mitsuko kept on walking, reaching the intersection point of one of the streets, she knew she would have to wait forever for all the cars to pass by while she wanted to cross the busy street. She looked at the silver wrist watch on her right arm, noting the time it was now. She couldn't help but feel tired at this time, hell she couldn't see how many people could stay this late at night. She didn't understand them anyways...Feeling as impatient as she could be, Mitsuko gave a heavy sigh and decided to take the shortcut.
She turned around, noting the people behind her as well was impatient as her and decided to walk off somewhere. She passed by the opened late, coffee shop beside her, smelling the fresh brew of coffee being prepared right under her nose. But she decided to keep walking, and find another way to get back to her home - her apartment.
I could take the cab she thought, then she decided against it. There was enough traffic as is, and she didn't need to be stuck in one. Mitsuko took another deep sigh, she looked up at the rainy sky, noting how pretty the stars were...
'And I'm uneasy when I think about to fight again' Jiro's voice told Mitsuko
'I know you won't be truly safe until my Gemini is profected, but I don't want to lose those feelings. Is it wrong to feel that?' Jiro looked at her and she gently smiled and got up in front of him, feeling a warm feeling inside herself...the same thing as well was happening to Jiro.
'Even without all those things. I'd be glad that I was born. If only to meet you and fall in love...' he said...
The memory faded away from Mitsuko, then looked back down at what used to be a dry sidewalk which was being stained by the waterdrops falling.
Why? Why is he not here with me? she said in her mind. She felt the cold wind blowing to the east, and that's when she took notice of a dark alley. She looked at the alley again, noting something. Maybe this was the way to her apartment...or maybe to see Jiro's face, suffering in the darkness.
End Part One
