Chapter 114
"Hey! Goz-kun! Mez-kun!"
Two ogres turned around. Both were big and buff, wearing gym shirts that read "HELL" in big blue letters. One was a deep blue color while the other was devil red.
Genji recognized them as two of the scarier ogres he avoided earlier.
The blue one grinned.
"Well, well.....if it isn't Mr. Roboto? Whadaya want, scrap heep?"
" 'Mr. Roboto?' That's a new one." 17 scoffed. "All androids find that term offensive."
"Oh, shut up." the red one snapped. "We can call you whatever we want. Now, what is it?"
"Any of you seen my girl? She's not at the orchard like usual."
**Who would hang out in a place like that?!** Genji scoffed himself. **The fruit's rotten and the gardeners are jerks!**
Since when did 17 get a girlfriend? Cell wondered. He's a homacidle maniac who strikes out in geisha houses. What kind of girl.....
** "Homacidle maniac?" **
"Haven't seen 'er." the red ogre shook his head. "Hey, Goz, you seen that lady he hangs out with?"
"Nope." Goz shook his head at Mez. "Haven't seen her today."
"Oh." 17 answered, turning to walk away. "Thanks anyway. C'mon, Genji, let's keep looking."
"Get outta here, ya hunk of junk!" Mez taunted. "Don't show your scrap-heep ass around here again!"
"They don't quit." 17 sighed, taking a pistol out of a holster. He slung the pistol over his shoulder and fired twice. Both ogres doubled over the bullet holes in their stomaches. Genji watched in shock, and got in front of 17.
**You shot them!**
"They're fine." 17 answered. "They're just going to have stomach aches for a week. C'mon, let's keep looking for my girl."

They headed into the open fields, which were less populated, and were void of trees. A gentle puff of wind blew through Genji and 17's hair and ruffled their clothes. Genji looked out at the orange grassed plain, not seeing even a spirit flying around.
**Now where are we going?**
"No where specific. Just keep your eyes open for her."
Genji narrowed an eye at the android.
**How can I keep an eye out for her if I don't know what she looks like?**
"Oh, sorry." 17 chuckled. "Well, she looks a little older than you, probably by a couple years. She's got blond hair, blue eyes, the like..... She wears the same kind of fur cape you got, only it's white, and the mask covers her entire face."
Genji went into mini-shock.
**What?! She's a high priestess?**
"Oh yeah, she mentioned something about that...."
**Hey, you never did tell me her name....**
"Well, I thought you knew, since she's a high priestess...."
Genji gave 17 a blank face.
**Well, I don't.....**
"Okay." 17 nodded. "She calls herself San........"
Before he could say her full name, they heard the loud scream of a woman. 17 quickly looked over his right shoulder and took off running in that direction.
"Damn!" he growled. "They got her!"
Genji quickly caught up to him.
**Who got who?!**
"San! They got San!"
**Who has her? 17, what's going on?**
They raced down the plains to the only tree in the area.
