Thank you so much for reading and reviewing my story! It means a lot to me
that people are actually reading it After a long episode of writers
block, here and please enjoy chapter 3! nn
It had taken a week for Minoru to get Yuzuki back up and running. He closed his eyes tightly remembering just what had happened after the lights went out. He could still see Yuzuki and Dita twitching helplessly on the floor. However, the image of Chii slowly sitting up to look around, then falling back onto the table bothered him the most. There was no way that unit could have moved on its own without being turned on.
After Yuzuki had been re-booted and all her data uploaded back into her, she refused to talk about the matter. It was like she didn't even remember the incident at all, but she was lying. She knew what had happened; she wasn't gong to let anyone know. Neither of them had seen Dita or Zima since the incident, apparently Dita's circuits had been fried pretty badly.
Suddenly his cell phone ringed bringing him out of his thoughts back to the present.
"Would you like me to answer it Minoru-san?" Yuzuki asked slowly making her way towards him.
"Yeah, go on and answer it." Yuzuki closed her eyes for a brief moment before opening them. When she opened her mouth to talk, a deep male's voice came through her small frame.
"Mr. Kokubunji, this is Mr. Yasha, I'd like to get back on schedule with the two beauties in the basement. Today let's go on and re-boot them. According to Dita and the data she gathered last weeks work was indeed a success. Meet me in the basement ASAP." With that the line disconnected, and Yuzuki was back. Minoru was a bit shocked at the look he saw in her eyes, pain. There was pain in her eyes.
"Yuzuki? Are you ok?" he asked as he made his way over to her, slipping his hands onto her shoulders. She merely looked away from him and remained silent. "Yuzuki?" he repeated. Hesitantly, she pulled away from him only slightly turning from him,
"Mr. Yasha is waiting...we have a job to do." With that she walked out the door. Minoru stood there completely shocked; Yuzuki had never acted this way before.
Once down in the small basement of the lab once again, Minoru noticed that Dita was in fact up and running again. Yuzuki seemed to be relived by this, but she refused to leave her side. It was almost as if the two were sharing secrets only their kind could share. Mr. Yasha seemed not to notice the other 'coms strange behavior, he was too interested in the twins at the moment. Minoru quietly stood there and waited for his instructions, watching Yuzuki's and Dita's odd movements and gestures. Finally Mr. Yasha adverted his attention back to Minoru,
"Now I want you to re-start them. They will be just like kids when they wake up. Their self-teaching program is wonderful! If we can mimic that program with the 'coms you are building...we'll be unmatched in the world."
"I haven't gotten the other twin's wirings re-worked yet sir." Minoru regrettably informed his boss, "I've been too busy trying to get Yuzuki back on-line this past week." Mr. Yasha stopped to consider this for a moment, and then merely shrugged his shoulders,
"That cannot be helped; we need Yuzuki right now more than the long haired one. After you finish teaching the short haired one, then work on the other." With that he strode out of the room a bit disappointed.
Minoru walked over to Chii's body, it was time to finally re-start her, to bring her back into the world where her beloved Hideki was no more. This thought alone tore at his heart and made him stop in his tracks. Hanging his head he reached for her EAR, flipped it open, and looked for the "ON" switch. But it wasn't there; confused Minoru opened the other EAR, and again no switch.
"Where in the world can her switch be then? Most units it's in the EARS...or on the main frame itself. With that he flung off the white sheet and stared in horror at Chii's body. No wonder Hideki always got so worked up when he saw this thing, she looked like a real nude girl before him. Blushing horribly he checked her over slowly, looking for anything that might look like a switch to turn the Persocom on.
Yuzuki and Dita couldn't hold back their giggles at the comical sight before them. Here it was, Minoru Kokubunji, one of Japan's top Persocom researchers, and he couldn't even handle turning on the beauty before him. Their giggles grew louder as they watched Minoru fall to the ground in disgust,
"How in the hell do you turn this thing on!!?? I've looked everywhere! Every...nook....no...they wouldn't....NOT THERE!" He screeched as he jumped again, his face beat red. Yuzuki trying to muffle her giggles came over to his side,
"Sir, would you like me to turn her on? You obviously cannot handle this on your own." The statement from her only slightly shocked him before he had a mental image of Yuzuki and Chii. It was enough for him to grab his crouch and fall to the ground again. His dirty little mind was just too much for him sometimes. He could just imagine the "virgin" signs all pointing at him, the same way he had made fun of Hideki so many times before. Hideki...the though sobered him and he stood up again, face still red,
"No...no I think I can handle this." He whispered as he slowly reached for the area where her "ON" switch really was. He heard the soft click of the button, then he stepped back to watch the dead Persocom came back to life.
Chii slowly sat up her eyes were blank and sad, almost like she was on the verge of remembering something very painful.
"Hide....hide...ki..." She tried to say, she cutely cocked her head to the side, "Hide..." She shook her head, her short hair flopped around her pretty face. Slowly, she reached up and felt her short hair, the confused look returned to her face. She gathered her hair up and measured it, shacking her head as she let it go again. Yuzuki watched, as if fascinated by Chii's awakening,
"Minoru-san" she said softly, "She knows something's not right, but she cannot quite remember what. That is the pain of being a Persocom, the proof is right before you." Hearing a voice Chii shot her eyes up at Yuzuki, and hopped off the table making her way towards Yuzuki.
"Yuz..." Chii mumbled as the grabbed one of her long braids.
"Hello," Yuzuki said with a big smile on her face, "My name's Yuzuki, I am Minoru's Persocom. He is standing here beside me, the other Persocom over there is called Dita." Chii looked around in her confused,
"W-whe...where am I?" She asked then grabbed her head and fell to her knees, "Something...something is missing. I cannot remember...who am I? Dita made her way over to Chii and laid a and on her shoulder,
"You are in a laboratory research facility, you work for the government and your name is Chii. On a mission your circuits were fried, and we lost your data." She lied, but tried to make it sound true.
"I lost my memories...." Chii whispered, "What about my name? Didn't I have a name?" She cast her eyes around the room. Yuzuki stepped forward with white sheet and draped it around Chii's shoulders,
"Your name is Chii, as I just said, now please come with me so we can get some clothes on you." She helped Chii to her feet and started heading for the door, but Chii stopped. She turned and ran over to the other table where Freya laid and whipped of the sheet covering her.
"Why does she have the same face as me? Was that my old frame? Is that why I think I had longer hair?" She gently touched Fraya's face, "No...this isn't my old frame...she's my sister..." Minoru stood there shocked, she remembered her sister! Even with all her memory lost, her sister was embedded in her mind,
"Do you remember her name?" He asked slowly. Chii looked up with a painful expression on her face, but all she could do was shake her head no. "Her name is Freya." Minoru informed her. Before Chii could ask any more questions Yuzuki grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of the room.
Minoru stood there in shock for a long while. How fascinating it was that she still remembered her sister. With all her old memory lost, the thought of her sister was still there. Even the memory of Hideki was gone, though she tried to say it a few times. Probably because it was the last thing she ever said before she was turned off. He looked up surprised as Dita made her way over to him,
"Well?" She said, "What do you think of them? What do you think of Yuzuki now? Do you think she's different?" Minoru stared at Dita, they were hiding something important from him.
"I'm not going to ask you just what it is you and Yuzuki are keeping between yourselves. In all good time she'll tell me I'm sure. As far as the Chobits go, I'm highly impressed. I'm quite eager to start seeing if I can fix Freya, so I can see just how the tick." Dita smiled strangely at him,
"Is it right? Is it morally right to do this? You heard her when she woke up...she felt empty. A Persocom's whole existence is in their memories."
"Don't start on that what's morally right shit!" He yelled at her, "You were the one who told me in the first place that weather I liked it or not, this was my job and I had to do it." Dita merely shrugged her shoulders with a slight half smile on her pale face. Then precede to walk towards the door, but before she disappeared to the other side she called out,
"Remember, you need to get that one running again. The boss has said he wants it done by the end of this month, work hard till then." With that she was gone, leaving Minoru to the darkness of an empty room.
Yuzuki guided Chii to one of the small rooms off of what seemed like an endless hall. She instructed Chii to take a seat while she fumbled through piles of clothes trying to find the uniform Chii was ordered to wear. Chii sat there with a strange look in her eye.
"What is wrong Chii-chan?" Yuzuki asked as she handed Chii a navy blue dress suite.
"I do not know, I cannot remember." Chii replied flatly. Yuzuki hesitated for a moment before speaking again,
"I-I have your old memories saved on a disc...if you want them back—"
"No," Chii shook her head and her short hair flowed around it, "No, a Persocom is a new being every time it is restarted, that is our fate. The old me died, I am a new being now. I do not want to know my past life." She gave a soft smile and then started dressing herself. Yuzuki just stood there in wonderment, never before had she heard such words come from a Persocom. The Chobits series was indeed a special type that not even she could fathom.
While Chii started struggling with her clothing Yuzuki walked out of the room. She had something important to tell Minoru, but she wasn't so sure she wanted the secret to be revealed just yet. She began to worry what Minoru might do once he found out what just had happened the day she and Dita blacked out from trying to overtake that special program in Chii. She softly put her hands in her head, if a Persocom could cry, she would be crying at that very moment.
Yuzuki straightened back up when she heard the door softy click; she raised her head to find Chii staring at her.
"Yuzuki is hurt? There is pain on Yuzuki's face." Chii gently toughed her where the human heart was located, "Yuzuki hurts here, even though Persocoms don't have a heart to hurt. We still hurt there." Yuzuki remembered a conversation similar to this before, when Minoru was only 12 Chii had told her the same thing. Not looking into Chii's eyes she pulled her close into a tight hug, wanting only to be comforted from her sorrows.
"Chii-chan, your wisdom sometimes scares me." She gently pushed Chii away to inspect the new uniform, and nearly erupted into a fit of giggles. Chii had the shirt on backwards and the skirt on up side down. Chii smiled sheepishly,
"I wasn't quite sure how to put them on, when I went to ask you, you were gone. I did the best I could!" She started giggling almost as bad as Yuzuki.
"I am sorry Chii-chan, I thought you could handle it!" She shook her head trying to clear herself of the giggles, "Let's go back into the room and fix this mess shall we?" With that the both entered room on the edge of another giggle fit.
Zima grabbed Dita by her slim waist and pulled her into an embrace,
"Did you tell him love he will not be alone when working on the other girl?" He asked softy and kissed her face.
"He'll know soon enough." She shot back at him.
"Easy, easy love! Don't fry a circuit huh?" He smiled and picked her up, "Off to our room we go, we need to do some check ups on you love. If you were to stop, I'd have to stop also." He chuckled.
"Oh you!" She started struggling in his arms, "Put me down will ya? I can walk!" Then she suddenly stopped and hung limply in his arms.
"Dita!?" Zima set her down quickly to examine her, "Are you ok?"
"I am fine." She simply replied, and then she wrapped her arms around Zima's head to bring him closer to her face. "Would you really cease to exist if I were to stop? Is it even possible for two Persocoms to love each other?" Zima merely smiled and kissed her when he pulled back again he whispered,
"Of course according to humans Persocoms cannot love. However, I would be denying myself if I believed that. I love you Dita, I always have. Even if you were not made to be my protector, I would still love you." Dita smiled and pulled him into a loving hug.
"I'm glad to hear that," she whispered, "now, lets stat those check ups to make sure I am around forever."
I hoped you enjoyed chapter 3! Please R&R!! And keep a look out for chapter 4! That is as soon as the dreaded 'writers block' goes away!
It had taken a week for Minoru to get Yuzuki back up and running. He closed his eyes tightly remembering just what had happened after the lights went out. He could still see Yuzuki and Dita twitching helplessly on the floor. However, the image of Chii slowly sitting up to look around, then falling back onto the table bothered him the most. There was no way that unit could have moved on its own without being turned on.
After Yuzuki had been re-booted and all her data uploaded back into her, she refused to talk about the matter. It was like she didn't even remember the incident at all, but she was lying. She knew what had happened; she wasn't gong to let anyone know. Neither of them had seen Dita or Zima since the incident, apparently Dita's circuits had been fried pretty badly.
Suddenly his cell phone ringed bringing him out of his thoughts back to the present.
"Would you like me to answer it Minoru-san?" Yuzuki asked slowly making her way towards him.
"Yeah, go on and answer it." Yuzuki closed her eyes for a brief moment before opening them. When she opened her mouth to talk, a deep male's voice came through her small frame.
"Mr. Kokubunji, this is Mr. Yasha, I'd like to get back on schedule with the two beauties in the basement. Today let's go on and re-boot them. According to Dita and the data she gathered last weeks work was indeed a success. Meet me in the basement ASAP." With that the line disconnected, and Yuzuki was back. Minoru was a bit shocked at the look he saw in her eyes, pain. There was pain in her eyes.
"Yuzuki? Are you ok?" he asked as he made his way over to her, slipping his hands onto her shoulders. She merely looked away from him and remained silent. "Yuzuki?" he repeated. Hesitantly, she pulled away from him only slightly turning from him,
"Mr. Yasha is waiting...we have a job to do." With that she walked out the door. Minoru stood there completely shocked; Yuzuki had never acted this way before.
Once down in the small basement of the lab once again, Minoru noticed that Dita was in fact up and running again. Yuzuki seemed to be relived by this, but she refused to leave her side. It was almost as if the two were sharing secrets only their kind could share. Mr. Yasha seemed not to notice the other 'coms strange behavior, he was too interested in the twins at the moment.

"That cannot be helped; we need Yuzuki right now more than the long haired one. After you finish teaching the short haired one, then work on the other." With that he strode out of the room a bit disappointed.
Minoru walked over to Chii's body, it was time to finally re-start her, to bring her back into the world where her beloved Hideki was no more. This thought alone tore at his heart and made him stop in his tracks. Hanging his head he reached for her EAR, flipped it open, and looked for the "ON" switch. But it wasn't there; confused Minoru opened the other EAR, and again no switch.

Chii slowly sat up her eyes were blank and sad, almost like she was on the verge of remembering something very painful.
"Hide....hide...ki..." She tried to say, she cutely cocked her head to the side, "Hide..." She shook her head, her short hair flopped around her pretty face. Slowly, she reached up and felt her short hair, the confused look returned to her face. She gathered her hair up and measured it, shacking her head as she let it go again. Yuzuki watched, as if fascinated by Chii's awakening,
"Minoru-san" she said softly, "She knows something's not right, but she cannot quite remember what. That is the pain of being a Persocom, the proof is right before you." Hearing a voice Chii shot her eyes up at Yuzuki, and hopped off the table making her way towards Yuzuki.
"Yuz..." Chii mumbled as the grabbed one of her long braids.
"Hello," Yuzuki said with a big smile on her face, "My name's Yuzuki, I am Minoru's Persocom. He is standing here beside me, the other Persocom over there is called Dita." Chii looked around in her confused,
"W-whe...where am I?" She asked then grabbed her head and fell to her knees, "Something...something is missing. I cannot remember...who am I? Dita made her way over to Chii and laid a and on her shoulder,
"You are in a laboratory research facility, you work for the government and your name is Chii. On a mission your circuits were fried, and we lost your data." She lied, but tried to make it sound true.
"I lost my memories...." Chii whispered, "What about my name? Didn't I have a name?" She cast her eyes around the room. Yuzuki stepped forward with white sheet and draped it around Chii's shoulders,
"Your name is Chii, as I just said, now please come with me so we can get some clothes on you." She helped Chii to her feet and started heading for the door, but Chii stopped. She turned and ran over to the other table where Freya laid and whipped of the sheet covering her.
"Why does she have the same face as me? Was that my old frame? Is that why I think I had longer hair?" She gently touched Fraya's face, "No...this isn't my old frame...she's my sister..." Minoru stood there shocked, she remembered her sister! Even with all her memory lost, her sister was embedded in her mind,
"Do you remember her name?" He asked slowly. Chii looked up with a painful expression on her face, but all she could do was shake her head no. "Her name is Freya." Minoru informed her. Before Chii could ask any more questions Yuzuki grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of the room.
Minoru stood there in shock for a long while. How fascinating it was that she still remembered her sister. With all her old memory lost, the thought of her sister was still there. Even the memory of Hideki was gone, though she tried to say it a few times. Probably because it was the last thing she ever said before she was turned off. He looked up surprised as Dita made her way over to him,
"Well?" She said, "What do you think of them? What do you think of Yuzuki now? Do you think she's different?" Minoru stared at Dita, they were hiding something important from him.
"I'm not going to ask you just what it is you and Yuzuki are keeping between yourselves. In all good time she'll tell me I'm sure. As far as the Chobits go, I'm highly impressed. I'm quite eager to start seeing if I can fix Freya, so I can see just how the tick." Dita smiled strangely at him,
"Is it right? Is it morally right to do this? You heard her when she woke up...she felt empty. A Persocom's whole existence is in their memories."
"Don't start on that what's morally right shit!" He yelled at her, "You were the one who told me in the first place that weather I liked it or not, this was my job and I had to do it." Dita merely shrugged her shoulders with a slight half smile on her pale face. Then precede to walk towards the door, but before she disappeared to the other side she called out,

She softly put her hands in her head, if a Persocom could cry, she would be crying at that very moment.
Yuzuki straightened back up when she heard the door softy click; she raised her head to find Chii staring at her.
"Yuzuki is hurt? There is pain on Yuzuki's face." Chii gently toughed her where the human heart was located, "Yuzuki hurts here, even though Persocoms don't have a heart to hurt. We still hurt there." Yuzuki remembered a conversation similar to this before, when Minoru was only 12 Chii had told her the same thing.

Zima grabbed Dita by her slim waist and pulled her into an embrace,
"Did you tell him love he will not be alone when working on the other girl?" He asked softy and kissed her face.
"He'll know soon enough." She shot back at him.
"Easy, easy love! Don't fry a circuit huh?" He smiled and picked her up, "Off to our room we go, we need to do some check ups on you love. If you were to stop, I'd have to stop also." He chuckled.
"Oh you!" She started struggling in his arms, "Put me down will ya? I can walk!" Then she suddenly stopped and hung limply in his arms.
"Dita!?" Zima set her down quickly to examine her, "Are you ok?"
"I am fine." She simply replied, and then she wrapped her arms around Zima's head to bring him closer to her face. "Would you really cease to exist if I were to stop? Is it even possible for two Persocoms to love each other?" Zima merely smiled and kissed her when he pulled back again he whispered,
"Of course according to humans Persocoms cannot love. However, I would be denying myself if I believed that. I love you Dita, I always have. Even if you were not made to be my protector, I would still love you." Dita smiled and pulled him into a loving hug.
"I'm glad to hear that," she whispered, "now, lets stat those check ups to make sure I am around forever."
I hoped you enjoyed chapter 3! Please R&R!! And keep a look out for chapter 4! That is as soon as the dreaded 'writers block' goes away!
