A.N. First, I'd like to apologize for not updating in like, two days ^^() I can explain! First off, I had promised my little half sister (or soon to be half sister) that I would take her to her very first fair and ride some rides with her So that's what happened on Saturday (and I was punished by getting sick on the storm. I hate the storm. It's evil) and then yesterday (Sunday) I was still at their house for half the day, and then they spent the night at my house so I couldn't very well type. I am VERY sorry!

On with the fic!

0014 sighed and bit her lip and opened the door to the house, walking in with Touma behind her.

"Bought time you got back, I was thinking you had decided to run off with him and leave poor, little, me behind!" 0014 smiled.

"Hey 0015."

"Hey! See you brought him back." 0015 grinned.

"Hey to you too Mitty!" Touma grinned and wrapped his arms around 0014 who in turn blushed a deep shade of crimson.

"Oh here we go!" 0015 giggled.

"009 and 006 got back with the two doctors, and 005 and 008 are still visiting their homes."

"Thanks for the mission report. Now where is Byake-" a loud roar erupted throughout the house and suddenly the three animals came barreling out of 0014 and 0015's room.

"Wait!" too late, the large tiger pounced on her and she was sent to the floor with a thud as the three circled her giving her kisses. She groaned.

"Heeeey!" she tried to push his head away but he wouldn't budge. She looked up at Touma pleadingly, but he only laughed. Soon she heard more laughter. She growled low in her throat and shouted something in yips and barks. Immediately Byaken, Fang, and even little Candy (who instead of retreating with her 'parents' leapt into 0015's lap), backpedaled several feet away while 0014 stood up and brushed herself off.

"What did you say?" 007 asked in amazement.

"Simple, I said 'do not bite the hand that feeds you, or else you may find yourself hungry'!" she grinned and Byaken nuzzled her right while Fang went on her right.

"I think Candy likes me."0015 squealed as the said fox kit began to lick her face." 007 cleared his throat.

"Nani?"

"The doctors are in." he said dramatically. 0014, Touma, and 0015 took one look at each other before the promptly started to laugh. 007 was dumbfounded.

"What?"

"You said it like you were saying we were gonna die!" 0015 said, calming herself while her two friends did the same.

"Oh.."

A few minutes later everyone remaining the house had been assembled in the living room and all introductions had been made. Dr. Gilmore and Dr. Kasumi sat on the love seat, 0015, 0014, and Touma sat on the couch that held only three people. 003 and 009 sat on the other love seat. 004, 002, 007, and 006 sat on chairs that had been pulled from the kitchen table. There was silence all around as Dr. Gilmore and Dr. Kasumi looked at blue prints of the two unfinished cyborgs, exchanging comments and questions.

The two cyborgs in questions were spaced out, needless to say. 0015 was fidgeting slightly and petting Candy while 0014 leaned on Touma, starring at Byaken at nothing in particular. Fang and Byaken cuddled in front of the fireplace like usual, occasional stealing glances at their 'master', gazes full of concern.

0014 was remembering all that had happened really. The pain she had felt, everything she had gone through, and yet none of it could have saved her friend. No amount of begging stopped them; no amount of screaming or writhing in pain even fazed them in the slightest.

Unconsciously she grabbed her heart; pain was slowly throbbing through her body, coming from that exact spot.

It's probably nothing... she told herself, firmly sticking to that thought as she came out of her little daze to find Touma staring at her. She raised an eyebrow and he grinned, scratching her ear, immediately her eyes widened in shock and slowly a very sleepy feeling overcame her as a deep purr came from her throat, and her eyes closed to the halfway point.

Hearing a giggle she groggily turned to 0015 who was trying to hide her laughter behind her hand. Tears were welling up in her eyes and her face was red from trying to do so. Dr. Gilmore and Dr. Kasumi had even stopped in mid discussion to look. 007 was downright chuckling, 002 had a smirk on his face and 004 couldn't help but laugh a bit as well. 009 and 003 were in the same predicament as 0015, trying to be polite.

"Hn..?" she asked, desperately trying to stop this 'purr reflex' thing.

"You...look...so…hilarious!" The three who had been trying to stop their laughter burst into round, 0015 the loudest as she held her gut.

Suddenly Touma stopped and 0014 collapsed with an oof. She looked up to see his laughing eyes. She groaned and sat up.

"I feel like I have a really bad hangover."

"You haven't drank before, how would you know?" 0015 questioned, suspicious.

"I read about them, close enough."

"Well that's because that part of you isn't finished and it's overexerting your circuitry." Dr. Gilmore explained. 0014 sighed and sat up.

"I feel really bad now."

"Sorry." Touma said sheepishly.

"It's o.k., I just expect you to donate blood when I'm low." She grinned and made a point to show her fangs. Touma's face turned white.

"Y-Y-You d-drink blood?!" he squeaked. 0014 burst into giggles.

"Man, you're still so gullible! Of course I don't." Touma sniffed.

"How was I supposed to know?"

"It's common sense there are no such things as vampires." 007 said with a smile and a nod.

"So, is it possible to fix them Dr. Gilmore?" 004 asked, leaning on his hands.

"It is quite possible and quite simple if done right. All we need to do is fix some of their circuitry so their weapons will be fully operational. Then we need to fix some parts of their circulatory system and then I have to fix a complicated system in 0014 so she doesn't get overloaded so easily. Finally I have make sure her arm is fully operational, as it isn't now." Dr. Gilmore said with a smile, like it was some walk in the park. Everyone except for Dr. Kasumi starred at him.

"O….k.." 006 said slowly.

"Hmph, doesn't concern me." 002 opened the door.

"Wai-" the door slammed and 003's words died inside her mouth.

"Don't worry 003, he probably needs to blow off some steam." 007 said with a grin.

"I just wish he wouldn't do that." 006 said, arms crossed and a frown on his face.

"Don't worry 006, he'll be back." 009 smiled.

"So… when does all this rebuilding have to take place?" 004 cut right to the point.

"As soon as we can get ready." 0014 gulped a bit, but put on a smiling exterior, grabbing her chest more tightly and leaning a little more into Touma.

"Alright then." She said softly.

"But we can only work on one at a time."

"Then she shou-" 0015 began but 0014 cut her off.

"Please, take 0015 first. She's more afraid of blowing up than I am, she deserves to have less risk."

"But-"

"Right, shall we go set up, Dr. Kasumi?"

"Right." 0015 looked at her friend in concern as she closed her eyes and leaned against Touma, this action did not go unnoticed by anyone.

It was hard to let her friend go.
