Author's notes: here's the continuing chapter...please review and enjoy!!! Just a friendly reminder... both the animes/manga Get Backers and Dual Parallel Trouble Adventure DO NOT belong to me...I'm just a person who writes fanfictions based on them...to the people who know/watch GB, I made Kadsuki's spelling 'Kadsuki', to avoid confusion between him and Kazuki of Dual...AND I made him a GIRL...teehee...

Chapter 2

The next day

"Kazuki-kun! Where are you going?" Rara Mitsuki called off to her male companion as he ran to where the robots were kept, or so called, the hangar.

"oh...I just wanted to fly around. I already asked permission from the commander and he gave me the go signal to do so"

"do you want me to come along?"

"nah. And besides, I'll be taking Haruchine today. Genmu is going through some minor repairs today so...I'll see you later!" Kazuki answered back as he sat in the cockpit and turned on everything.

Soon, he was out in the open, unaccompanied by anyone except himself.

"okay, parallel building... where are you?" Kazuki spoke to himself. He leapt up towards the sky to get a bird's eye view of the area he was trudging on. He kept his eyes open and his ears attentive for he might hear the music once more.

When he wasn't able to spot the unusual looking building, he landed back down on the ground. He started heading back towards the base when his line of sight came across the building.

He spun around and walked towards the building. Kazuki looked upward and saw the same beautiful lady, now dressed in gray pants and a white, off shouldered loose shirt. She was standing near the edge of the building, looking off towards the horizon. He stopped and hid beside a building that was diagonal to the parallel building. He peeped carefully through the side. A gentle breeze swept across the place and Kazuki noticed just how long the hair of the lady was. He also noticed, for the first time, a pair of ball-shaped items suspended against locks of hair on the right side of her head. She also had locks suspended on her left side, but they didn't have any ball-shaped items on them. They were tied together with a strip of white cloth.

Kazuki didn't notice that he was slowly stepping away from his hiding place, clearly being seen by anyone, especially the lady. She looked at Haruchine oddly, with a mixture of slight fear. Kazuki noticed her sudden change of expression. He then was urged to speak up.

"um...please don't be afraid..." Kazuki said. He opened up the front of the robot and stepped out, revealing himself to the lady. He smiled at her and she smiled back.

"do you live here?" Kazuki asked

"yes, I do. We call this place mugenjou" she spoke in a normal tone.

"mugenjou? I've never heard of this place. Actually, this is the first time I've seen it in close up"

"oh...and it's the first time I've seen you, and the thing you are riding that is why I was a bit afraid. The people living here, including me, don't really see other things. We rarely go out and explore other places."

"so you've never seen this?" Kazuki pointed at Haruchine.

She shook her head.

"this is what we call a robot. We use it to protect and arm ourselves"

"I see. So that's how the common people protect themselves..."

"...common people?" Kazuki said questioningly

"yes. You see, a lot of people living here in mugenjou, including me, have special powers or abilities. This is how we protect ourselves. We either inherit the ability or are naturally born with the special power"

"ah...so what's your special power or ability?"

"me? Oh...I inherited strings from my clan. I can manipulate my strings to defend myself or to kill a target. Because of this, I am known here as 'Kadsuki Fuuchoin of the strings' "

"Kadsuki Fuuchoin...is that your name?" Kazuki said

"yes"

"hmph...I never would've thought that I'd meet someone who has the same name as I"

"...and your name is?"

"Kazuki Sanada"

"oh...well it's nice to meet you Sanada Kazuki, but I am afraid that you must go now, to avoid injury"

"why is that?"

"I am scheduled for training now, and I might hit you"

"what if I stay inside Haruchine? I'm sure your strings will not damage a robot"

"well...okay. Though I'm not entirely sure about that. If my strings get in contact with you, please leave immediately and accept my humble apologies"

"sure. I'll just stay here...give you a little space" Kazuki backed off, a few buildings away from mugenjou.

"Thank you, Kazuki-san" Kadsuki said, as she pulled off a bell from her hair and held it on two fingers with her right hand. She waved her hand that held the bell and almost immediately, a long piece of string flung out of it. Kadsuki waved her hand in even more odd patterns and the string followed, forming intricate patterns around her. More and more strings emerged from the single bell, tossing out in all directions. A couple of strings hit the arm of Haruchine and an alarm of slight damage went off.

"wow. Those strings must be lethal against a person, if it clearly damages a robot. Maybe I should go now. The commander might kill me if there are any more damages on Haruchine" Kazuki said to himself as he turned around and started to head off to the base.

Kadsuki of the strings watched as her new friend walked away. She then continued on with her training.
