Disclaimer: I don't own Cyborg 009
Author's Note: All right everyone, I have recently read just about the greatest 003/009 fic ever written not to mention best Cyborg 009 fic in general. If anyone out there is looking for a good 003/009 fic or just a plain old great fic then I strongly recommend you read it, Hell, I strongly recommend you read it anyway. It's called "SUNSET DANCE INTO DARKNESS Black Ghost Revived" by the very, very talented writer, GoldAngel2.
Someone left a review saying that 003's eyes are blue, and I've noticed that a lot of stories describe her eyes as blue, but I swear on my mother they are deep green. I don't know if there's something wrong with my eyes or with my TV, but they are in fact, GREEN.
Also, to SaisaishiDragon: Shizuru? Kurama? Who are they? Are they from InuYasha or something? I don't watch any anime besides Cyborg 009 and Digimon. I would honestly love to oblige you but I have never heard of those people. And, of course, best of luck on your story!
The door creaked as 004 pulled the door open the rest of the way. Standing behind him, was a very amused Dr. Gilmore, Professor Kazumi, and 002. Mortified, 009 and 003 slowly and reluctantly pulled away from each other, crimson coating each of their faces. 003 was humiliated standing there in front of them. She shouldn't have come on to 009 like that in the first place and now she was paying for it. 009 glanced over at 003. With her head lowered, he knew that she was horribly embarrassed. Knowing it was his fault he wished this had never happened. Dr. Gilmore stepped in front of his fellow spectators, looking not nearly as entertained as the rest of them, "All right everyone, there's nothing left to see here," he started, turning back to 009 and 003 he raised his eyebrows, "And I'm sure there never was anything to see here and that this is all just a really big misunderstanding."
004 and 002 made themselves scarce, moaning and groaning at being intentionally excluded. Dr. Kazumi, winking back at a still red 009 and 003, turned, shutting the door behind him leaving Dr. Gilmore, 009, and 003 alone in 003's room. What they didn't know though, despite the acute hearing of both the cyborgs was that 002 and 004 were both sitting at the door listening, picking up on every word, disregarding the look of amused disapproval on the professor's face, intending completely to fill their fellow cyborgs in on every single detail.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the door, 003 sat on her bed and 009 in the chair in the corner as Dr. Gilmore paced, obviously deep in thought. Finally, he stopped, looked them both over and continued, "So, what was going on?"
009 and 003 exchanged glances quickly before 009 stood, prepared to talk despite his need to avoid conflict. One glimpse into 003's worried, and slightly scared eyes was enough to convince him to throw himself into any situation, despite the consequences, "Well," he started, trying to figure the best way to explain, "On the way home from the restaurant, we decided to take a back alley to get out of the heat and we ended up walking by a broken down construction site and I guess something broke loose and this metal beam almost crashed into the both of us so I accelerated and saved both of us but when I came out of acceleration mode, 003 had fainted from the shock, so accelerated and brought us both the rest of the way home. I didn't want to have to stop and explain things so I just brought her into her room, but by that time she had already woken up and that's when 004 walked in."
Dr. Gilmore stood back a bit taking everything in, confusion painting his features, "A metal beam eh?"
009 couldn't tell what he was thinking but he nodded his head slowly but without a second thought at the doctor's query.
He stood from where he had sat during 009's explanation and raised an eyebrow inquisitively, "And did you see anyone else there in the alley?"
009's brows furrowed in confusion as he wondered what Dr. Gilmore was getting at, "No I don't think so, did you 003?"
She shook her head no, and the doctor sighed, "I don't know," he started, "A metal beam dropping out of the sky doesn't seem like something that happens regularly, are you sure you didn't notice anything out of the ordinary?"
009 shook his head again not wanting to prolong the attention brought to his and 003's situation despite his everything within him screaming to comment on the feeling of dread and trepidation that had filled him when as they had made their way through that alley.
"No," to both of the men's surprise, 003 stood now with a fire in her eyes, "No," she said again, stronger, "009 is lying, he had a really bad feeling about that alley, and to be honest, I had an even worse one," 003 wondered what she had just done seeing as 009 failed to mention what had really happened.
Dr. Gilmore sighed hard and rubbed his temples. As he turned to face them again, the dark bags under his eyes seemed more visible, if it were possible, "I was hoping this wasn't going to happen, but if this attack was in fact intentional, I think we all have a pretty good idea about who's behind this."
003 gasped and sat back down on the bed, wishing it wasn't so, but knowing it was true if it had indeed been deliberate. 009 walked over to her and started rubbing her back unconsciously, "Dr. Gilmore, I know it seems like it was intended, but I can assure you, Black Ghost has isn't behind it," he started mostly for the reason that he didn't want to believe it himself, "I'm sure it was just an accident, that construction site was a disaster waiting to happen. It probably collapsed on itself shortly after we left."
Raising an eyebrow at the young cyborgs proclamation, Dr. Gilmore didn't know why he was so insistent that it was merely an accident but he figured he should trust him, for now, "I believe you," he started, " And I'm not going to make any more of this matter 009, but for the lives of us, I just hope you're right."
After Dr. Gilmore had treaded wearily from the room the events that had happened prior to 004's interruption flooded into their minds. 009 turned to close the door, sighing at 002 and 004 sprawled across the floor from the door being dislodged. 002 and 004 jumped to their feet brushing themselves off. 004 painted an innocent grin on his face while slightly shoving 002 forward, not wanting to explain their compromising position.
002 grimaced and straightened, hands on his hips, smiling, "Hey 009 I'm glad I caught you, me and 004 were handling a-a- a um pest problem, hence why we were on the floor and um you didn't happen to see a mouse run through here, about this big," he managed, holding his hands a small distance apart to signal the alleged size of the nonexistent rodent.
009 looked over the pair, both of them grinning madly, "No, I didn't and no, there was nothing going on with me and 003, that's just, it's just ridiculous."
Looking disappointed, 002 and 004 trudged away, 009 turned to 003 and was surprised to see her, head down, gaze fixed on the floor despondently. It was only then that he had realized what he had said about him and 003 being together, "Look 003-" he started, before her small voice interrupted him.
"No, 009, it's ok, we were both caught up in the moment," she got up, her shoulders slouched and walked to the door, stopping the doorway where he was positioned against the frame, "It was truly – ridiculous."
He couldn't bring himself to speak as she walked away.
