Chapter 6-

(Ideas inspired by YOU!!)

Thanks for the suggestions, those of you who made them^_^ And yes, Q.o.D, I do like that idea^_^ Gracias mucho! I'll make that soon.

Kohana awoke before anyone else, and decided in her childish curiousity, to explore the Dolphin. She went into the kitchen, opening each drawer until she came to one with things she didn't recognise. Pulling out what most adults would know was a butcher knife, she looked at it, head cocked to the side, then threw it behind her, where it sank to the handle into the wall. She shut that drawer and moved on to the cupboards, finding plates and cups and spices. One of the spices read 'Old Bay.' Kohana blinked, then sprinkled a bit of it onto her finger and tasted it. It took a good second for her eyes to widen and her mouth to burn, but in that second she was spitting out the icky stuff and putting the container back. Shaking her head and airing out her tongue, she left the kitchen and went onto the bathroom.

Underneath the bathroom sink, Kohana found a bunch of beauty supplies. One of them was a tall metal can with a small white trinket on the top that you had to push to make the can work. Pointing it towards her face, she pushed the trinket, only to release hair spray into her eyes. Dropping the can to the ground, she jumped up and down, rubbing her eyes and wondering who would keep something as dangerous as that around anywhere. After she could see again, she decided to not get into any more stuff in here, and went to the cockpit. The Dolphin was resting on a mountain peak above Tokyo, in silent mode. Kohana looked at all of the controls, and went over to one, eyes wide.

The control button said "Self Destruct." Kohana looked at it very curiously for a second, then reached out to touch it...

"I don't think so, Little Miss," said Jet, picking up the girl. She looked up at the man holding her, and squealed, kicking him below the belt and jumping to the ground as he doubled over. He looked up at her with one eye closed, "That was cold."

"Hmph," she said, crossing her arms and sticking her nose in the air. Jet returned the look, getting an idea.

"Hey, kid, whaddaya say we make you into a little warrior before we go visit your Miss Mitzuko?"

"Huh?" Kohana asked, wrinkling her nose and furrowing her eye brows. "Uh...okay..." she said, blinking some.

"Cool kid," Jet thought aloud, nodding at her and taking her outstretched hand, "We'll make you into the second strongest, coolest, and smoothest cyborg around!"

"Who's the first?"

"Me, duh," Jet said, laughing at her naive question.

"Oh...okay...I thought Papa was..." Kohana said.

"Papa?! Oh, you mean 009!" They arrived at the training room on the Dolphin, and Jet put up some of his favorite obstacles. "Okay, just run around using this-" He handed her a blaster. "-to shoot down the things that pop up at you. Got it?" Kohana looked at him as if he were crazy.

"Eh...sure..." She poised herself on the edge of the course, but someone different picked her up, and behind her, 002 was laughing nervously.

"I don't think you'd be doing that," Joe said, glaring at Jet. "And I don't appreciate you trying to teach her how to be a weapon...I thought that's what we didn't want to be at all."

"Sorry 009," Jet mumbled.

"And besides that," Joe said, eyes brightening with good nature. "I am the strongest, coolest, and smoothest cyborg. And don't you forget it! Now, let's go see if the rest of the guys are ready to go, so we can talk to Mitzuko, whaddaya say, Kohana?"

Kohana nodded, and smiled at her 'Papa.'

"Okay then."

Yeshness....a bit of un-modestness from 009. I've always wanted to see that....okay, any more suggestions? ^_^
