There, enjoy!
Chapter 9: The Someone just for me
Kagome was smiling softly under the moonlit sky. A new amusement park had opened and the many multicolored lights reflected in her gray-blue eyes. Miroku and Sango were currently occupied in the 'Tunnel of Love'. The young miko giggled softly under the safety of her hand as she saw the blushing pair emerge from the ride and move on to another game booth.
A tug on one of her raven locks alerted her of someone near.
" Shippo-Chan?" She asked as the young kitsune persocom motioned toward someone in front of her.
" My Kagome!" A gruff male voice cried out, breaking the brisk spring calm.
' Don't tell me.'
Her hands were clasped in front of her by a pair of larger tan ones. With slight claws and tan fur armbands around the wrists.
" Koga-Kun." She greeted not even looking up.
She heard a distinct sniffing smell and a growl of approval.
" I see Inukorro isn't with you. Idiotic hanyou, leaving you all defenseless."
Tears sprung to Kagome's eyes and she slowly lifted her gaze up to face him. He looked the same, just a little more worn. She heard Shippo growl from underneath her hair, he leapt up to the top of her head and bared his fangs at the wolf demon.
" I see you still mother the little runt. Haven't grown much have you ya little pest?"
" I'm not a pest! You're the one hurting her feelings!" The young boy cried out, glowering darkly at the blue eyed man before his mistress.
Koga's eyes widened and he looked down to see a single tear drop from Kagome's face to the cement below.
" Kagome." The young man whispered before embracing her tightly against his chest.
Kagome cried out in alarm and struggled against his firm hold, the feelings of sadness gone.
" Get off of me!"
" That Inuyasha doesn't realize your much better than that dead resurrected miko-"
Suddenly a clawed hand was at Koga's neck and lifting him up off the ground.
Dropping the girl in surprise, Kagome fell unceremoniously to the floor.
Rin fell to her knees at her nanny's side.
" Daijabou ka?"
" I'm fine." The two girls looked up to see Sesshomaru holding the star by his throat.
" You will not touch my employee again."
" She's my ma-"
The grip on his throat grew tighter.
Sesshomaru's cold gaze bore down to Kagome.
" Is he?"
Kagome quickly shook her head.
" He's delusional! Please put him down Sesshomaru-sama!"
With a thud the young actor fell to the ground.
" Rin, come."
" Hai!" The young girl waved at Kagome and scrambled after her guardian. But not before slamming her foot into Koga's back whilst running over him.
Kagome giggled when she heard a deafening bang in her hear.
" Itai!" She winced and felt the familiar weight on her shoulder fall off to the floor.
"What the hell?" Koga murmured as he watched the two.
" Shippo?" Kagome cried shaking his tiny body and rubbing his face with her hand in an effort to wake him.
BANG!
Again the loud sounds were heard from all over.
They were coming from.
The PERSOCOMS?
Sango and Miroku ran up, an unconscious persocom in each their arms.
Sango eyes were misty as well.
" Kirara just made a bang noise and went on disabled mode!"
Kagome's tears were falling now as she desperately tried to wake her persocom up.
The only response she received was the gray color of his eyes replacing the jovial aquamarine that had been present only moments before.
"SHIPPO!!!!!!"
****
Hideki ran up the stairs toward his apartment.
'Something's wrong with Chii.I just know it!'
His panicked footsteps picked up speed as he threw open his door. Hideki's frightened eyes fell on the two laptops in his possession.
" PLUM! What happened to Chii?!" He asked the panic cracking his voice. He shook the young pinkhaired persocom once or twice but received no response. Only the dull gray of her eyes.
A bright light flashed through his bedroom window. The man slammed the window open and looked out the steel balcony.
In absolute shock he just stared.
There was Chii; her body was clothed in a spaghetti strapped white dress. The thin material of her skirt floated about her as her fists clutched something to her chest. The young girl's eyes were half-lidded and gray with the familiar beam of light running continually across them. Her long golden locks were floating about her in a soft frenzy. As she herself was floating above the ground.
" CHIIIII!"
****
" Oh my god!" Sesshomaru heard a panicked voice cry out.
" The lights went out!" cried another voice to his left. He could easily see the panicked frightened bodies of the humans run about. He felt a small hand grip his arm, looking down he saw Rin. In one arm was an unconscious Jakken. He too, had been affected by the strange noise that was echoing out throughout the city. Rin was trying desperately to see in the black of the night. Her empty hand was lingering near the hidden katana at her hip.
" A BLACK OUT?!"
****
Ms. Hibiya gazed at the ceiling of her husband's laboratory. With a flicker, the lights vanished, leaving the young woman in consuming darkness.
Her eyes softened as she gazed by the moonlight at the picture she was holding to her chest. A small sad smile graced her tired features as she gazed upon her family, before everything was destroyed by the malfunction of Freya's programming.
She fell in love with her Father.
And it consumed her with guilt of loving him and the pain of hiding her feelings. Until it murdered her will to live.
Then Elda had downloaded her sister's data into herself, and asked them with her dying wish to leave her somewhere.
So she wouldn't endure the same pain her sibling had.
The pain of choosing the wrong 'Someone just for me' The land lady's fingers ran over the smiling face of her youngest daughter, Elda.
" So, my little girl has found the "Someone just for her." She whispered to herself in the dark.
" Honey.I think its Hideki."
Her eyes fell to the floor as she held the photograph to her bosom once more.
" Hideki's a very good person. He's kind.sincere.Actually, he's a lot like you." She added, gazing at the picture of her husband's jovial expression before clutching it to herself again.
" Hideki said that he wanted Chii to be happy.but I still don't know if he sees her as his one true love."
She let out a deep sigh.
" I hope he does. Then there will be no more need to hold on to Elda. You can unlock your gift on your own."
Ms. Hibiya gazed up at the ceiling once more a saddened look of hope in her eyes.
" Ichiro.look after your children so they can be happy." She whispered into the dark that surrounded her.
**** Hideki scrambled to the edge of the metal fire escape his eyes determined to make sure his persocom was safe.
"CHII!" He cried out to her, desperate for any kind of response from her.
Slowly Chii's eyes opened wider, with a somber expression she whispered her owner's name.
" Hideki."
Hideki leapt up his fingers mere moments from reaching Chii's outstretched hand when another voice pierced his thoughts. His widened eyes drifted over to where the voice was coming from.
"Well, well, well. Got here just in time."
A young woman crouched upon the top of a phone pole. Her eyes were dark and her gaze determined.
" That's her all right."
Hideki looked up at her.
" WH.WHAT THE--?! WHO ARE YOU?!" Hideki exclaimed.
The young girl paid him no mind; her eyes directly focused on Chii.
" One of the two persocoms built by the great creator himself. The legendary coms'. Chobits he called them, I believe."
The young boy stared up at Chii, but her dull gray eyes were gazing softly at the other girl, her hair floating calmly about her tiny form.
The other girl's black hair swayed out in a long thin ponytail behind her.
" All the persocoms in the area have shut down, thanks to you."
Her eyes narrowed.
" Shut down your program. NOW." She commanded.
But Chii didn't pay attention to the woman threatening her.
" Chii.found him. The " Someone just for Me".
"CHII!"
Hideki scrambled down the rest of the fire escape, trying to reach her.
" I found him.Now Chii must ask. my " Someone just for me."
Kagome saw a few of the less stable rides slowly falling down. Right on top of her.
The young miko screamed and held Shippo to her chest. Her body tensed, expecting to feel the pain of the large metal contraptions on her body. But instead she felt someone wrap their arms around her and leap out of harms way.
' Nani?'
Slowly Kagome's eyes opened and she was staring into the face of Koga, his eyes were focused on her as he left the premises.
" Are you all right?"
Kagome nodded mutely, her eyes too busy staring at the bright light off in the distance.
****
" IF YOU DON'T LISTEN TO ME.I'LL HAVE TO DEACTIVATE YOU MYSELF! PERMANENTLY!" The girl cried.
She leapt up and started attacking Chii.
" STOP IT! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO TO CHII?!" Hideki screamed up at them.
After that, everything seemed to become a blur to Hideki.
The other girl asked him who he was and what he had to do with Chii. But he truly had no answer, he never thought of her as an appliance. So he never had the heart to say he 'owned' her.
The girl was about to resume her attack during Hideki's stupor when Ms. Hibiya had come dashing out, screaming at the girl to wait.
In aggravation the girl cried out who was it now. When an older man appeared beside her with a long black overcoat. He merely explained who she was. The wife of the creator of all persocoms.
The landlady begged for the pair not to reveal to Hideki what Chii's gift was. A few moments later, a somber expression on the woman's face, she asked Hideki if he noticed that Chii was different from other persocoms.
Hideki had.
But instead of telling the clueless boy what Chii was capable of, Ms. Hibiya told him that there was a difference between knowing and seeing it for yourself.
That's when Chii descended down toward Hideki.
****
Kagome looked around breathlessly, tears falling from her face. Why wasn't Shippo answering? Why didn't he move?
Did she do something wrong?
Had she.killed him again?!
This notion brought Kagome to chest heaving sobs and whimpers, leaving Koga in quite a confused frenzy.
" Kagome? What's wrong?" He asked, placing the girl on the sidewalk and gently shaking her by the shoulders.
The tears slowly ran dry and all Kagome would do was clutch the young boy's body to her chest and rock back and forth.
" Not again.Not again." The miko kept whimpering, her face buried in her persocoms flurry of orange hair.
Koga cocked his head at her; frustrated in the fact he couldn't help her.
" What again?"
" I KILLED HIM AGAIN!" Kagome wailed and threw herself at the unsuspecting movie star.
Again?
What the hell was she talking about?
Chii's tiny outstretched hands slowly reached out to touch Hideki's face.
" Chii has found him.the " Someone just for Me." Chii whispered, her hair flying about her almost like angel's wings.
" YOU are my special someone Hideki." The young girl confessed.
" Has Hideki found his special someone?" She asked softly.
The young boy just gazed down in shock and slight embarrassment at the girl floating in front of him.
Her soft gray eyes were worried and scared, she was afraid of rejection.
" Chii.is happy when she thinks about Hideki. When Hideki smiles.Chii smiles too."
Chii grasped the boy's hand and placed it on her chest.
" Chii gets warm right here when Hideki is near. REALLY warm.like there's a fire glowing inside. I am happiest when I'm with Hideki. I am saddest when Hideki is away."
The young maiden placed her hands over his and held it firmly at her chest. Her eyes drifted closed, " All of Chii's feelings are stronger when Chii thinks about Hideki."
She gently lifted his hand to her lips and kissed it softly.
" The other Chii told me...that this is what it means to be in love."
Chii places her hands on Hideki's face, her lips mere inches from his.
" Chii loves Hideki. Hideki is my "Someone just for me." Hideki.you are the only person for me."
The only response Hideki could give was whispering her name in awe.
" What about Hideki?" Chii asked, her eyes wide and thoughtful.
" Does Hideki have a "Someone just for you?"
" Who is it? Who makes Hideki warm inside? Who does Hideki love?" Chii asked.
" Who is." Her hands stayed gently on the boy's face, " Who is your 'Someone just for You?"
****
" You would never harm Shippo or Inukorro or the others. You're too loving for that!" Koga reassured the grief stricken girl.
But she was too immobile with memories and guilt to hear him.
~ His body was bloody and bruised.His hair was midnight black and his violet eyes were in such pain. And it was my entire fault! His blood stained my skin and my clothing. Inuyasha was dying. There was nothing I could do; all I could do was watch helplessly as he died. And it was MY ENTIRE FAULT! ~
Kagome dug her nails into Koga's shoulders and wept helplessly. Tear after tear ran down her sore red eyes and wet the boy's shirt. Tear after tear of guilt and regret.
No matter how gentle or loving Koga was to her.
He could never replace the loneliness in her heart.
He could never ever be able.
To replace her own ' Someone just for me'
" Inuyasha." Kagome whimpered helplessly, wishing the arms that surrounded her, were his.
****
" Who is Hideki's special someone?" Chii asked.
" My special person is."
*****
Water burst through the many cracks in the city, destroying the many roads and streets.
More water slid through the area, drenching immobile persocoms and grieving owners.
The water continued to pour down on Kagome and Koga. But it didn't wash the guilt away like she had hoped it would.
" I helped Kikyou." Kagome whimpered. Koga said nothing, just continually rubbed the young woman's back.
" Our powers clashed and killed all the demons in the area.even Naraku."
Koga smiled inspite of the situation.
" But. I killed Kirara and Shippo." At the mention of the true kitsunes name more tears poured out of her eyes.
" And."
Koga nodded when he felt her worm her way out of Koga's grasp.
" I PURIFIED INUYASHA'S DEMON HALF! HE DIED BECAUSE OF HIS WOUNDS. BUT HE DIED BECAUSE OF ME! AND."
Koga's eyes widened as he watched her stand there, fists clenched reliving the horrible memories again.
" I MIGHT PURIFY YOU TOO!"
" No you won't.I'll take you home and-"
" NO! I'LL KILL YOU TOO! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Kagome cried turning and running into the impending dark of the city streets.
" KAGOME!!!!"
*****
' Did Chii cause all this?' Hideki wondered, gazing at the water that was over his ankles.
' Will my answer to Chii cause something to happen? Will my decision end all of this.or will it cause something even WORSE to happen? What do I do? What's the right thing to say? I don't anyone to get hurt.' Hideki thought.
' NO. No one else matters right now. It may be selfish...but this is about Chii and me. How do I feel about Chii right now? I have to tell her my true feelings. Other coms' other people they don't matter. Only my feelings.'
" My special someone is." Hideki spoke.
He pulled the young girl into a deep embrace.
" YOU Chii."
Chii buried herself deeper in his arms, her eyes half-lidded and her face peaceful.
" Chii is.Hideki's special person?"
"Yes."
" Chii is.Hideki's someone just for you?"
"Yes."
" Even though Chii is a persocom?"
" Yes." The boy answered, tightening his grip on the tiny form in his arms.
" Do you love Chii?"
" I love you. I never understood why I felt this way before, but now I know it's because I love you."
" Do you want Chii?"
Hideki whispered her name and abruptly pulled away, staring into his love's eyes. Only to realize that they were not hers. They were darker, more serious than that of his Chii's eyes. They held no innocence, only deep sadness and regret.
They belonged to Freya.
Everything resolved to become a mere blur of a memory to Hideki once more. Freya had locked Chii inside of herself, to explain something to him that Chii didn't understand. The thing that Chii was unable to do, lest she lose everything. Letting someone have everything of her, her heart, mind, and her body, was a task Chii could never complete.
Chii's reset button was.in her secret place. Where only her 'someone just for me' could touch. Chii could never become one with Hideki. If she did, she wouldn't be Chii any longer. She would lose everything.
Her name.
Her memories.
Her dreams
Her heart.
But Hideki understood that.
" I didn't fall in love with Chii because I wanted to make love to her. I wanted to make love to Chii because I love her. But I won't stop loving her, just because we can't go all the way. Even knowing that I.want to stay with Chii."
A wide smile spread across Freya's face.
" Now, do you want to know what it is that only Chii can do?" Freya asked.
" Will it endanger anyone if I don't?"
The elder sister shook her head.
" Then.no." Hideki answered much to Freya's delight.
" Will the water stay like this?"
" No. Because you fell in love with you Chii is, so Mommy and Daddy's wish came true. The persocoms will return to normal and the water will stop.
Hideki sighed, " That's a relief."
Freya floated into his arms, her tiny limbs wrapped around his neck.
" You are a good person. You're honest and kind. You are at once simple and profound. You are quite complicated Hideki. That's why Chii chose you." The young woman confided, her face glowing in happiness for her younger sibling.
" So please," She whispered, as her eyes slowly fell closed, " take could care of my little sister."
Freya disappeared back into Chii's heart once more, and the weight of her body made Hideki fall to the floor, with her in tow.
When the persocoms eyes opened, they were Chii's once more.
" I've found you! My ' someone just for me'." Chii exclaimed happily. So drenched and in the arms of each other, the two embraced.
' This city has no people. But the light burning inside the houses is warm and bright. I am in a city with no people. But I am not sad or lonely. My heart glows. I am one of "them" but I still feel warm inside. That's because I love this person. The heart of someone whose in love. Whether that person is alive or not. is kind and warm. If my heart is this warm. If I can be this happy. Then I wish that all of those like me will fall in love. And have their love returned. The love we feel may not be the same. but it doesn't matter when I'm with my "Someone just for me" If we can all find that special person. then the world will be the most joyous place. Then.this city will have no unhappy people. It's the one special city.that has the "Someone just for me"

Chapter 9: The Someone just for me
Kagome was smiling softly under the moonlit sky. A new amusement park had opened and the many multicolored lights reflected in her gray-blue eyes. Miroku and Sango were currently occupied in the 'Tunnel of Love'. The young miko giggled softly under the safety of her hand as she saw the blushing pair emerge from the ride and move on to another game booth.
A tug on one of her raven locks alerted her of someone near.
" Shippo-Chan?" She asked as the young kitsune persocom motioned toward someone in front of her.
" My Kagome!" A gruff male voice cried out, breaking the brisk spring calm.
' Don't tell me.'
Her hands were clasped in front of her by a pair of larger tan ones. With slight claws and tan fur armbands around the wrists.
" Koga-Kun." She greeted not even looking up.
She heard a distinct sniffing smell and a growl of approval.
" I see Inukorro isn't with you. Idiotic hanyou, leaving you all defenseless."
Tears sprung to Kagome's eyes and she slowly lifted her gaze up to face him. He looked the same, just a little more worn. She heard Shippo growl from underneath her hair, he leapt up to the top of her head and bared his fangs at the wolf demon.
" I see you still mother the little runt. Haven't grown much have you ya little pest?"

" Kagome." The young man whispered before embracing her tightly against his chest.
Kagome cried out in alarm and struggled against his firm hold, the feelings of sadness gone.
" Get off of me!"
" That Inuyasha doesn't realize your much better than that dead resurrected miko-"
Suddenly a clawed hand was at Koga's neck and lifting him up off the ground.
Dropping the girl in surprise, Kagome fell unceremoniously to the floor.
Rin fell to her knees at her nanny's side.
" Daijabou ka?"
" I'm fine." The two girls looked up to see Sesshomaru holding the star by his throat.
" You will not touch my employee again."
" She's my ma-"
The grip on his throat grew tighter.
Sesshomaru's cold gaze bore down to Kagome.
" Is he?"
Kagome quickly shook her head.
" He's delusional! Please put him down Sesshomaru-sama!"
With a thud the young actor fell to the ground.
" Rin, come."
" Hai!" The young girl waved at Kagome and scrambled after her guardian. But not before slamming her foot into Koga's back whilst running over him.
Kagome giggled when she heard a deafening bang in her hear.
" Itai!" She winced and felt the familiar weight on her shoulder fall off to the floor.
"What the hell?" Koga murmured as he watched the two.
" Shippo?" Kagome cried shaking his tiny body and rubbing his face with her hand in an effort to wake him.
BANG!
Again the loud sounds were heard from all over.
They were coming from.
The PERSOCOMS?
Sango and Miroku ran up, an unconscious persocom in each their arms.
Sango eyes were misty as well.
" Kirara just made a bang noise and went on disabled mode!"
Kagome's tears were falling now as she desperately tried to wake her persocom up.
The only response she received was the gray color of his eyes replacing the jovial aquamarine that had been present only moments before.
"SHIPPO!!!!!!"

" The lights went out!" cried another voice to his left. He could easily see the panicked frightened bodies of the humans run about. He felt a small hand grip his arm, looking down he saw Rin.

"CHII!" He cried out to her, desperate for any kind of response from her.
Slowly Chii's eyes opened wider, with a somber expression she whispered her owner's name.
" Hideki."
Hideki leapt up his fingers mere moments from reaching Chii's outstretched hand when another voice pierced his thoughts. His widened eyes drifted over to where the voice was coming from.
"Well, well, well. Got here just in time."
A young woman crouched upon the top of a phone pole. Her eyes were dark and her gaze determined.

" I found him.Now Chii must ask. my " Someone just for me."

In aggravation the girl cried out who was it now. When an older man appeared beside her with a long black overcoat. He merely explained who she was. The wife of the creator of all persocoms.
The landlady begged for the pair not to reveal to Hideki what Chii's gift was. A few moments later, a somber expression on the woman's face, she asked Hideki if he noticed that Chii was different from other persocoms.
Hideki had.
But instead of telling the clueless boy what Chii was capable of, Ms. Hibiya told him that there was a difference between knowing and seeing it for yourself.
That's when Chii descended down toward Hideki.

Kagome looked around breathlessly, tears falling from her face. Why wasn't Shippo answering? Why didn't he move?
Did she do something wrong?
Had she.killed him again?!
This notion brought Kagome to chest heaving sobs and whimpers, leaving Koga in quite a confused frenzy.
" Kagome? What's wrong?" He asked, placing the girl on the sidewalk and gently shaking her by the shoulders.
The tears slowly ran dry and all Kagome would do was clutch the young boy's body to her chest and rock back and forth.
" Not again.Not again." The miko kept whimpering, her face buried in her persocoms flurry of orange hair.
Koga cocked his head at her; frustrated in the fact he couldn't help her.
" What again?"
" I KILLED HIM AGAIN!" Kagome wailed and threw herself at the unsuspecting movie star.
Again?
What the hell was she talking about?
Chii's tiny outstretched hands slowly reached out to touch Hideki's face.
" Chii has found him.the " Someone just for Me." Chii whispered, her hair flying about her almost like angel's wings.
" YOU are my special someone Hideki." The young girl confessed.
" Has Hideki found his special someone?" She asked softly.
The young boy just gazed down in shock and slight embarrassment at the girl floating in front of him.
Her soft gray eyes were worried and scared, she was afraid of rejection.
" Chii.is happy when she thinks about Hideki. When Hideki smiles.Chii smiles too."
Chii grasped the boy's hand and placed it on her chest.
" Chii gets warm right here when Hideki is near. REALLY warm.like there's a fire glowing inside. I am happiest when I'm with Hideki. I am saddest when Hideki is away."
The young maiden placed her hands over his and held it firmly at her chest. Her eyes drifted closed, " All of Chii's feelings are stronger when Chii thinks about Hideki."
She gently lifted his hand to her lips and kissed it softly.
" The other Chii told me...that this is what it means to be in love."
Chii places her hands on Hideki's face, her lips mere inches from his.
" Chii loves Hideki. Hideki is my "Someone just for me." Hideki.you are the only person for me."
The only response Hideki could give was whispering her name in awe.
" What about Hideki?" Chii asked, her eyes wide and thoughtful.
" Does Hideki have a "Someone just for you?"
" Who is it? Who makes Hideki warm inside? Who does Hideki love?" Chii asked.
" Who is." Her hands stayed gently on the boy's face, " Who is your 'Someone just for You?"
****
" You would never harm Shippo or Inukorro or the others. You're too loving for that!" Koga reassured the grief stricken girl.
But she was too immobile with memories and guilt to hear him.
~ His body was bloody and bruised.His hair was midnight black and his violet eyes were in such pain. And it was my entire fault! His blood stained my skin and my clothing. Inuyasha was dying. There was nothing I could do; all I could do was watch helplessly as he died. And it was MY ENTIRE FAULT! ~
Kagome dug her nails into Koga's shoulders and wept helplessly. Tear after tear ran down her sore red eyes and wet the boy's shirt. Tear after tear of guilt and regret.
No matter how gentle or loving Koga was to her.
He could never replace the loneliness in her heart.
He could never ever be able.
To replace her own ' Someone just for me'
" Inuyasha." Kagome whimpered helplessly, wishing the arms that surrounded her, were his.
****
" Who is Hideki's special someone?" Chii asked.
" My special person is."
*****
Water burst through the many cracks in the city, destroying the many roads and streets.
More water slid through the area, drenching immobile persocoms and grieving owners.
The water continued to pour down on Kagome and Koga. But it didn't wash the guilt away like she had hoped it would.
" I helped Kikyou." Kagome whimpered. Koga said nothing, just continually rubbed the young woman's back.
" Our powers clashed and killed all the demons in the area.even Naraku."
Koga smiled inspite of the situation.
" But. I killed Kirara and Shippo." At the mention of the true kitsunes name more tears poured out of her eyes.
" And."
Koga nodded when he felt her worm her way out of Koga's grasp.
" I PURIFIED INUYASHA'S DEMON HALF! HE DIED BECAUSE OF HIS WOUNDS. BUT HE DIED BECAUSE OF ME! AND."
Koga's eyes widened as he watched her stand there, fists clenched reliving the horrible memories again.
" I MIGHT PURIFY YOU TOO!"
" No you won't.I'll take you home and-"
" NO! I'LL KILL YOU TOO! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Kagome cried turning and running into the impending dark of the city streets.
" KAGOME!!!!"
*****
' Did Chii cause all this?' Hideki wondered, gazing at the water that was over his ankles.
' Will my answer to Chii cause something to happen? Will my decision end all of this.or will it cause something even WORSE to happen? What do I do? What's the right thing to say? I don't anyone to get hurt.' Hideki thought.
' NO. No one else matters right now. It may be selfish...but this is about Chii and me. How do I feel about Chii right now? I have to tell her my true feelings. Other coms' other people they don't matter. Only my feelings.'
" My special someone is." Hideki spoke.
He pulled the young girl into a deep embrace.
" YOU Chii."
Chii buried herself deeper in his arms, her eyes half-lidded and her face peaceful.
" Chii is.Hideki's special person?"
"Yes."
" Chii is.Hideki's someone just for you?"
"Yes."
" Even though Chii is a persocom?"
" Yes." The boy answered, tightening his grip on the tiny form in his arms.
" Do you love Chii?"
" I love you. I never understood why I felt this way before, but now I know it's because I love you."
" Do you want Chii?"
Hideki whispered her name and abruptly pulled away, staring into his love's eyes. Only to realize that they were not hers. They were darker, more serious than that of his Chii's eyes. They held no innocence, only deep sadness and regret.
They belonged to Freya.
Everything resolved to become a mere blur of a memory to Hideki once more. Freya had locked Chii inside of herself, to explain something to him that Chii didn't understand. The thing that Chii was unable to do, lest she lose everything. Letting someone have everything of her, her heart, mind, and her body, was a task Chii could never complete.
Chii's reset button was.in her secret place. Where only her 'someone just for me' could touch. Chii could never become one with Hideki. If she did, she wouldn't be Chii any longer. She would lose everything.
Her name.
Her memories.
Her dreams
Her heart.
But Hideki understood that.
" I didn't fall in love with Chii because I wanted to make love to her. I wanted to make love to Chii because I love her. But I won't stop loving her, just because we can't go all the way. Even knowing that I.want to stay with Chii."
A wide smile spread across Freya's face.
" Now, do you want to know what it is that only Chii can do?" Freya asked.
" Will it endanger anyone if I don't?"
The elder sister shook her head.
" Then.no." Hideki answered much to Freya's delight.
" Will the water stay like this?"
" No. Because you fell in love with you Chii is, so Mommy and Daddy's wish came true. The persocoms will return to normal and the water will stop.
Hideki sighed, " That's a relief."
Freya floated into his arms, her tiny limbs wrapped around his neck.
" You are a good person. You're honest and kind. You are at once simple and profound. You are quite complicated Hideki. That's why Chii chose you." The young woman confided, her face glowing in happiness for her younger sibling.
" So please," She whispered, as her eyes slowly fell closed, " take could care of my little sister."
Freya disappeared back into Chii's heart once more, and the weight of her body made Hideki fall to the floor, with her in tow.
When the persocoms eyes opened, they were Chii's once more.
" I've found you! My ' someone just for me'." Chii exclaimed happily. So drenched and in the arms of each other, the two embraced.
' This city has no people. But the light burning inside the houses is warm and bright. I am in a city with no people. But I am not sad or lonely. My heart glows. I am one of "them" but I still feel warm inside. That's because I love this person. The heart of someone whose in love. Whether that person is alive or not. is kind and warm. If my heart is this warm. If I can be this happy. Then I wish that all of those like me will fall in love. And have their love returned. The love we feel may not be the same. but it doesn't matter when I'm with my "Someone just for me" If we can all find that special person. then the world will be the most joyous place. Then.this city will have no unhappy people. It's the one special city.that has the "Someone just for me"
