Defeat of Justice
By: Yueh Miko
Summary: In 2145 Michi's uncle runs the MHRO, a successful organization. Michiru is the future owner but when the revolution starts she is not so sure. She starts to work along with Haruka and wonders why is Haruka so "poo faced", like Hotaru always calls her.

Michiru rushed into the great hall of the corporation. She scanned her eyes around for Ami and Miko.
"Michiru!"
"Miko!"
"Michiru you're late!" Ami yelled at her.
"Sorry sorry!" Michiru said flustered, "The traffic was crazy today!"
"Hush hush!" Miko said grinning from ear to ear, "I saved us seats!"
"Oh good!" They all sat down to watch the big podium where Setsuna had just stepped up to make a speech. She cleared her throat and Michiru beamed up at her.
"Five years ago on this day we started a small organization for mechanical humans or what we call MHs all over the world. Back then we did not know wether we'd succeed or not in gaining the same rights for them like the humans. We did not know if humans would ever be able to live in harmony with the MHs."
Miko clutched Michiru's hand. They had come so far into the future. Now you could barely tell a human from a MH. Here Michiru was sitting among her two best friends, Ami: her human friend and Miko: her MH friend. Setsuna continued.
"But then an angel was sent to both humans and MH, our very own leader Dr. Kaiou. He was first one to determine that MH, beside from being mechanical, still possessed human emotions, humna thoughts. He was the one who said that they could love and hate; cry and laugh just like us. And we all agreed and the Mechanical Human's Rights Organization got the rights for MHs." Cheers erupted from the crowd. From the MHs themselves and from the families who had come to love their adopted MHs like their own flesh and blood.
"The MHs got so much freedom in the world of today. Today, in 2145, is the day we celebrate the peace and harmony between the two independent races. Two races, one which was created by god and the other which was created by the first race. But now we are all free to do as we please. Today is the celebration of the peace, of the freedom of MHs and the celebration of happiness to come!"
"She is so wonderful!" Miko had tears in her eyes. Ami was clapping enthusiastically with the rest of the crowd. Michiru looked up with tears blurred eyes at her uncle, her uncle who had changed the world. Rushing through the crowd she went to him.
"Uncle Shihaka!"
"There you are Michiru!" he gave her a bear hug, "I want you to meet one of our greatest donors, Hiwana Zuko. Zuko has done so much for the organization!"
"It's a pleasure to meet you." She beamed at the man.
"And you, Michiru. So you will be the new leader of this organization then, after your uncle?" he was young, very young. Handsome as well, but his eyes held a glint she didn't like.
"Yes ofcourse, I just hope I do as good of a job as my uncle." she told him smiling.
"Yes yes ofcourse you will." He laughed a hearty laugh and moved along.
"Michiru can you do me a lottle favor?" Dr. Kaiou asked his neice, beaming at how well it was all going.
"Sure!" replied Michiru, who'd love to do anything but meet more of the rich young guests, who always seemed to have their eyes on her. She was a prize to them, beautiful and future owner of a successful organization.
"Go check if the PriBots are doing their job by the food court," he said hurridely as he rushed off to meet someone. Michiru watched him go. When she had come to live with her uncle he had been a jolly man who loved his work with not a sign of approaching old age. Now worry had lined his face and the pressure of work had grayed his hair. Sometimes Michiru worried for him but everytime she saw the glint of excitement in his vibrant blue eyes she would never be able to tell him to leave the work.
She wandered to the food court to check the primitive robots or the PriBots. She saw one cleaning up glasses after they had been used. He looked at her for approval and she knew what to say.
"Good job, keep it up………uh………Nan!" she said as she read the bot's nameplate. The bot made sounds that humans usually recognized as happiness and went off to work. The PriBots had to be treated with love and care. They were just like pets and some people even took them in as pets. Although most people still preferred the purr of a cat and barks of a dog to the whirring of the bots.
Miko bounded over.
"Michiru!" she whispered secretly, "Look!" Michiru turned her head as her friend had directed.
"Look at that MH! He is so adorable!" she whispered and Michiru marvelled at the fact that MHs had the ability to tell eachother apart from humans. Although humans could do no such.
"I see, he is an MH, how………quiant." Michiru replied said because the guy Miko had pointed out was no other than Zuko.
"Why did you say that?"
"He was giving me the eyes, but I only gave him 2 out of 10."
"Nah he would never give a human such signals." Miko said reassured. Her deep red eyes looked very excited and her strawberry blond hair swished as she walked confidently to him. One thing good about MHs was that they were picture perfect. Ofcourse humans had also figured out how to geneticly give humans perfect features and rid them from disabilities. But the MHs were completely different, they were not just perfect but beautiful, each one of them possessing a different face, faces of those who had died and were forgotten.
The MH developers had decided after they had succesfully developed the first MH, that they would give them the faces of those who were forgotten. They had decided to take pictures from a century ago and make those faces beautiful and then build the MHs. It had been a fabulous idea now that they looked at the HMs now.
Michiru watched as Miko charmed away Zuko. She stood by the food court complimenting the PriBots once in a while. She knew she would be the mechanic if anything went wrong with them.

"Can you believe this?" Hotaru asked jumping up at Haruka who took a step back in case Hotaru stumbled on her, which was not possible because MHs had very good balance.
"Yes," Haruka replied simply.
"Oh Haruka don't be so poo-faced." Hotaru commented but Haruka didn't mind. It was a going joke between them.
"MHRO is one of the most successful organization of the decade! Lasted for 5 years now and have gotten many many award! And we were hired there! Can you believe out luck?" Hotaru wasn't going to give up until she got an agreeing answer from the blond.
"We have skill Hotaru, that's why we got hired," Haruka replied stubbornly.
"Aww come on Haruka admit it! The organization is wonderful for us! Very very wonderful!"
"No Hotaru we are wonderful for the organization," Haruka replied leaning down to kiss Hotaru's forehead, "Now cut back on the caffiene and get some sleep." Hotaru frowned but the blond went to her bedroom without noticing.
