A/n: Second chapter! W00t? Yes, w00t. I'm still new here....waitin for me to be able to upload. Therefore, I am killing time! Writing another chapter. Hopefully, I'll be goin with the flow...flowin'.. Hrm. Maybe sugar cereal was not such a great idea after all, eh?
Chapter Two- Then It Happened
Chi excitedly raced home. She had spent all day wandering around town, going into cute little shops....But now, it was time for Hideki to come home! She beamed at the thought. Since Hideki didn't have to work tonight, they could watch T.V. together...heck, they could do whatever they wanted! Chi skipped and hummed until she ran smack into Miss Hibiya.
"Hello Chi! How are you?" the woman asked her happily. 'I'm so proud of Hideki..Chi's wonderful. Just as before.' Miss Hibiya thought.
"Chi is wonderful, thanks!" the Chobit chirped. Then she remembered her manners. "And how are you?" Miss Hibiya laughed and kept on sweeping. Chi, taking this as a good sign, ran into Hideki's room to go pass some time. She over-estimated her time- 20 more minutes!
'Maybe I can cook something for Hideki!' Chi thought, happily. She smiled as she remembered the one time she tried to eat. Although it wasn't completely understandable, it was a memory with Hideki.
"Damn, Chi, you're just so cute!" Hideki said, with almost a blush on his face. Chi picked up the beans she saw on the little table. Opening her mouth, she tried to mimic Hideki when he ate.
"Huh? She's...eating.." Hideki said aloud. Suddenly, he slammed himself to the ground. Chi watched, then almost tried to do the same, before Hideki spoke again.
"Shit! What am I doing?!" Hideki shouted, hands flying to his crotch. Chi, confused, mimicked the gesture.
Chi laughed at the memory of Hideki looking so silly. She wasn't completely understanding of that term he used...but she had no time to think it over, as Hideki opened the door. Chi, who was sitting smack in the middle of the floor, leapt up and gave an almost crushing hug around Hideki.
"Hideki! Hideki!" she shouted, a huge smile on her face. "You're home!" Hideki nodded.
"And I don't have anything to do...checking the calendar..nope, I'm free! What do you want to do?" Hideki asked the little Chobit. He remembered that tone she used with him at school, and leaned against the wall, as a just-in-case measure. But that wasn't needed.
"Yay!" Chi chanted, peppiness all over her voice. "Can we go to a picnic now?" Laughing, Hideki hugged her.
"I just need to put some stuff away, then we can head out." he replied, getting another huge hug from Chi....and an accidental slamming-to-the-ground, like he had been so many times before.
Hideki walked out, jacket in hand, and Chi in the other. Chi was very happy to be 'squeezing hands' as she called it, with Hideki. Meanwhile, the cheerful little Chobit held a small picnic in hand. "I'm glad I could afford this, Chi," Hideki told her. He was half joking..but half serious. He had gotten a small pay raise at Club Pleasure..and with Chi's Bakery profits, they could together afford just a little bit more.
"Hideki, look!" Chi exclaimed, pointing excitedly towards a bench. "We can eat there!" Hideki nodded, and sat down on the bench, patting the seat next to him for Chi to sit with him. She did immediately.
Looking around, Chi and Hideki silently realized that this was the same spot were they had almost kissed the first time...the same flowers were there, the same everything. The only difference was that it was not raining.
"Hideki?" Chi asked, poking his arm.
"I'm here, Chi," he replied. They looked into each other's eyes, Hideki coming smack into contact with large pools of amber, Chi with the brown eyes of Hideki. The were about to repeat history when their attention was pulled away by the sound of construction.
"Dammit." Hideki swore. Getting interrupted was just like last time as well. He glanced at the Chobit girl, looking very interested in the construction work.
"Will Chi and Hideki be able to continue their picnic?" she asked. Hideki glared at the construction workers. "No, Chi. It's too noisy here. Maybe on Saturday." he replied.
It appeared the workers were doing some electrical work on some telephone wires outside a building. They weren't really quiet about it, either, doing a bit of drilling for some reason..and chatting just as loud as their drills. Working in one of those cherry-picker type machines, they continued work as if everyone else in the area wasn't even there. Hideki couldn't help but wonder why they had to be working now, of all times. Hideki picked up his jacket, along with Chi's hand, and started walking out of the park area, towards the exit, as well as the workers.
Then it happened. Suddenly, the machine altered, and a large black wire fell towards the workers on the ground. They naturally scattered, including Hideki. Chi, however, was mesmerized by the sparking wire, as it fell towards her. Realizing that Chi was not ran with him, Hideki whirled around, only to find Chi getting hit with the wire-hard- and falling to the ground.
"CHI!!"
'Why is this so dark? Were is Chi? Wh-where is Hideki?'
Everywhere Chi looked, it was black. The air around her was almost misty..smoky..she was floating in this purgatory-like state.
'Is Chi deactivated?'
She looked around her, yet again, spinning slowly. She had to find a way out, soon. Hideki would worry.
'I do not want to be away from Hideki.'
Now more determined, Chi started to run into the blackness.
'Hideki!' she called. But she received no answer.
Chi fell to her knees, wanting to cry, or anything. But persocoms can't cry, can they? Chi didn't know for sure; she never felt this sad. In the purgatory state, though, she could sob all she needed..Eventually, she looked up, only to see a mirror.
'Sister,' a voice chanted. Chi stood, placing her palm on the mirror. This was familiar, but was not supposed to be. It couldn't!
'Sister' the voice said again. Looking her reflection in the eye, Chi saw.
'Freya!' Chi exclaimed. Her sister, her friend...wait. No, this wasn't- this couldn't! She was gone! After Chi's power had been shown, and her someone found, Freya...she was supposed to have vanished! Then why?
'Sister.' Freya said, anger in her eyes. 'Love you as I might, sister, you thought you were rid of me. I may have taken back-seat. But your hard-drive still has a fragment of me on it. And you've got something I realized I want.'
Chi gasped, and Freya stepped- no, sort of floated- towards her. Her hands, placed on Chi's temples, held her in place.
'You'll be taking back seat for now. Don't despair, though. You'll be able to watch.I'm sorry, dear sister. But I need to take care of some things,' Freya said, and that was the last thing Chi remembered.
A/n: Dun Dun DUNNN....urr...yeah. Second chapter completed. I have my plans for this story, and I'm trying to drag it out. Otherwise, this would be short. I'm thinking of writing a little one-shot..maybe a RuroKen one. But I don't really know. I liked writing the 'purgatory' ish part of the story, that format was kinda fun! Hope this is coming along good enough to be ::changes voice tone to more..peasant..ish:: worthy of all your time!! ::peasant gesture::..Yeah. In next chapter: Chi wakes up? May-be. May-be not.::looks at the blinding whiteness of the word-program and eye nearly twitches:: mrrrfle..
