Chapter 9: Discovery

Yuki's P.O.V.

My head hurt, a lot. Where was I? Where was Sebastian? What happened? So many questions aroused in my mind, but I couldn't answer any of them. Everyone was dark, I was been blinded. There was no doubt I had been kidnapped. But by who, who could have done this? Then it hit me. Of course there was no other explanation I had been kidnapped by Black Ghost!

003's P.O.V.

"009 what could have happened to Yuki?" I asked 009 who was besides me. He shook his head and sighed. We had just been informed that Yuki had gone missing. "We should have been there." I lamented. 009 shook his head once more. "It wasn't anyone's fault, but we do have to concentrate on finding a way to find her." I sighed. This wasn't going to be easy at all. I bit my lip so hard that blood came out. I wiped it off, and scorned myself.

A horrible though entered my mind. "What if Yuki was kidnapped by Black Ghost?!" I said alarmed. 009 eyes widened and he told the driver to put the communicator to the others. We informed them of my idea, but something was fishy. Dr Gilmore seemed as if our discovery was obvious. We agreed to meet up on Sebastian's Aunts farm and discuss things there.

Sebastian's Aunt greeted us warmly. She was only in her early twenties, and had strawberry blond hair like Sebastian. 009 was about to tell her about our situation when she said. "Now I won't keep you because I know that Yuki is missing."

"How'd you know about Yuki?" I asked. "Sebastian talks about her all the time." She said as she smiled. Sebastian turned red. Even I had to giggle. "Miss Yuki might be in danger, we have to hurry." Sebastian commented.

I nodded and turned to 009. We were developing a search plan when the driver from the limousine called us outside. "Hurry please!" He said. On the communicator was Black Ghost. He laughed evilly which just gave me the creeps. "You weak cyborgs you couldn't even keep my daughter Yuki from me. "Daughter?" Asked 004. "Yes you insolent little cyborgs Yuki is my daughter."

"What guarantee do we have that you have her?" I asked boldly. Suddenly the communicator showed an unconscious Yuki in a water tube with wires attached to her dress. He continued laughing and I shuddered. 009 held me close and stroked my hair. I smiled at him and turned to black ghost. "We will find Miss Yuki!" Sebastian exclaimed his knuckles white from holding them so tight. And then the communicator shut off.

"Doctor Gilmore I said. You have a lot of explaining to do." Doctor Gilmore looked uneasy. We sat down in the living room, 009 next to me. "Well you see there are a few things about Yuki that you don't know." He started "Like that she's black ghost daughter?" 002 said sarcastically. "Yes 002 that's one of the things, there's also quite a few lies that she's told you about herself that I consented." I gave Doctor Gilmore a disapproving look.

"It all started when Yuki was about 5 years of age. I had met her when I started working for the BG organization. Back then Black Ghost wasn't nearly as evil as he is today and the BG organization was called the Development Organization. Yuki was an innocent little creature and she didn't know a thing that her father was planning, but she was awfully smart. By the time that I had discovered that Black Ghost had just used me Yuki was only 7 and she knew everything. She knew about the Cyborg plans, she knew about the targets which where you, she even knew about her father secret. Little by little Yuki began to drift away from her father until she was just a nuisance to him. She was 9 years of age when she discovered his secret laboratory in the mansion where they lived. When she was 10 years of age, the fellow scientist and I were planning a plan of escape, by then all of you had been captured and were put in hibernation mode. Only Yuki knew Black Ghost past his secret, she wouldn't even tell me. Finally when Yuki was 12 she told me that she knew that her father was a corrupt man. Finally about 7 months later we escaped meaning you, and I we escaped from the organization. About 2 weeks before Yuki called me saying that she was very scared and I told her to come and join us. She was too scared to speak about what she had to done, but she did tell me something dreadful."

"What is it Doc?" Asked 002. "She told me that she had been present in a meeting of her father and a strange man, and that her father had become angry and had come with a shot in his hand towards her. She told me that she had explored her father laboratory and found a bottle labeled "Cyborg Serum" which is practically what replaced your blood. When her father approached her she threw the bottle at him and ran, but there's more." I looked at Doctor Gilmore. "Yuki had an older sister named Alexandria; she died when Yuki was 9."

"How did she die? Asked 002 curiously. "She died of Nuclear Poisoning accident that they had during a car trip, I think it has to do with Black Ghost secret. Yuki didn't die and wasn't poisoned it was a miracle, but I did find traced of nuclear chemicals when I examined her." I gasped. 009 held me. I didn't want to listen to anymore it was just too horrible, poor Yuki. There was a dreadful silence and then Sebastian said. "Miss Yuki."

I was in my room in my rocking chair, holding the teddy bear that I had since my childhood all that remained from it. A soft knock interrupted my chain of thought. I opened the door and there stood 009. I welcome him in.

Sebastian P.O.V.

Where was Miss Yuki? I would kill this Black Ghost her father or no father if he touched her. Suddenly I felt protective of her, but why? Miss Yuki was in danger and I knew it, and if we didn't move soon I would go by myself. If anything happened to Miss Yuki I would never forgive myself.

I went outside of my room and into the living room, and sat on the main couch. I looked at the photo on top of the Oakwood table that was beside the couch, it was a photo of Miss Yuki when she was a little girl. Her eyes seemed to shine in this picture even there she was beautiful. Beautiful? I shouldn't call Miss Yuki such inappropriate things, not even to think them. Why was I thinking this way? I felt confused everything Miss Yuki was near, what was happening to me?

Doctor Gilmore P.O.V.

Little Yuki what has become of you? These abilities that you have where do they come from? Maybe 001 could help me by accessing Yuki mind, but that wouldn't be fair. This isn't easy at all Yuki.

"Perhaps accessing her mind is the only way." 001 thought to me. "No we will have none of that, little Yuki has to much trust in me for that."

"Hmm, well if you prefer it that way.." 001 thought to me again. "Yes I do, but could you help me out I don't understand her abilities." But 001 was fast asleep. "I should have known." I said out loud to myself.

009's P.O.V.

I couldn't believe it at all, Black Ghost was alive and even worse he kidnapped poor Yuki! I still couldn't make out why Doctor Gilmore couldn't find any type of metal in her body though, maybe it had to do with that nuclear accident that she had.

I went to Francoise's room because I was just so confused. She welcomed me in I could sense uncertainty in her eyes as well. She sat in her rocking chair while I sat on her bed. "Francoise I'm so.."

"Confused?" She finished for me. I nodded at her. "All of us are even me, but I'm just worried about what Black Ghost is doing to poor Yuki." She shuddered. I thought of the countless maniacally horrors that he could think of and found myself shuddering as well. It started raining outside and the pace quickened, lightening started to fall. I knew for a fact that Francoise was afraid of lightening. I came over to her and embraced her; she seemed relieved and worried at the same time. "Joe., I hope that we find her soon." She said. I nodded smiled at her and we watched the rain pour together.

"Joe I'm scared." She said to me. "Me too." I admitted. "When is this ever going to end?" She asked after a silence. "I don't know, but I will promise you this I'll always be there to defend you." Francoise leaned against me and fell asleep.

A/N: Wow I made this chapter long didn't I? ^_~ I find myself writing for longer and longer. Please review a lot because I really appreciate it when you guys do. I don't know what's going to happen next though. No worries I promise not to disappoint you guys, but I can tell you this in the future there will be a lot of fluff between 003/009 and another couple.
