Ok here's my story. Enjoy and please review!

The snow fell gracefully outside my window. I just lay there; staring at each flake as it fell, thinking about her. How she moved how she acted, how she made me feel.....

"Mr. Minoru?"

Then she entered my room. Yuzuki.

"Is anything wrong?"

I sat up "no everything's fine. I'm fine, Yuzuki."

"O-okay then. We best not be late."

Yes, we better not be. Kaede, has it been ten years already? I was just ten when you left me. I was so upset, I couldn't accept it. So I made her..... To replace you. But no one can replace you. Or her. No I could never do that. Not now.

--------Flashback-------

Please, please don't leave me...............

Yuzuki: ".....Mr. Minoru"

I then saw her open her eyes. Those beautiful blue eyes............

"....Thank God" Next thing I know my arms are wrapped around her.

"I was afraid you'd never open your eyes again....like my sister. When I saw the system error on my monitor, I rushed up as fast as I could. When I saw you collapsed on the floor.........I thought my heart would stop."

The tears welling up in my eyes, I'm just so happy. You're ok.

She looks at me, fear in her face "A system error? That means my core data was affected."

Kaede................

"Yes," I finally say. I can't look her in the eye. I......just can't.......

"A good chunk of your personality files are gone"

I look up. She looks so sad, like she would cry..............I just want to tell her..........

Yuzuki: "I'm so sorry, sir. I know how much your sister's personality data meant to you."

Why? Why did you do that? Why go through that danger for my sake?

"I accessed your log to find out what happened. You tried to access the National Data Bank. You did it for me. You saw how I was struggling and you wanted to make me happy.

Your programme made you do that. The programme I gave you...............

"I never want to see you danger yourself for my sake again"

Please do this......... don't make me feel this way.......ever.......

Yuzuki: "I understand."

No. You don't. You couldn't...........

Yuzuki: "All of your sister's invaluable personality files are stored in my—"

Stop....... Please.....

"That's not it!"

"MY SISTER IS GONE!"

Nothing will ever change that.

"IT'S YOU I DON'T WANT TO SEE HURT!"

WH-what did I just say? She, her, oh god!

Yuzuki: "Mr. Minoru!"

I look at her again. I raise my hand to her forehead. So warm. So soft...

"I've told you about me and my sister, have I not?"

I'm sorry Yuzuki, I must tell you about her......my sister.

She doesn't look at me. Please Yuzuki just understand.

Yuzuki: "Yes"

I can still see her. Her face, her smile....

"Kaede really cared about me."

Her voice...

"Even after Mom and Dad got divorced and we got different last names..."

Her sweet temper......

"She was always there for me."

Kaede............I...........

"I loved her more than anyone else."

And then.......

"The illness... it happened so fast. She was fine one minute, then just a few days later.... She...passed away. There was nothing I could do."

She was so brave. She knew, and yet, you stayed stronger then anyone......

"The gentlest, most wonderful soul in the world was dying right before me.....and all I could do was hold her hand."

She could barely hold mine, but somehow she managed to smile. That hurt me more than anything else.......

"I watched her eyes open and close slowly as she looked at me......and then, with no warning, she closed them one last time and never opened them again."

Her picture is on the mantle. She seems so happy. Yuzuki also seems to notice it. She remains expressionless.

"Even though I watched her die, I was unwilling to accept that she was gone. I couldn't forget my sister. No...I didn't want to forget.

I look at her dead straight now; I want her to know I'm serious.

"So I created you. I modelled you as closely on my sister as I could remember."

I raise my hand to her face, my hand shaking....

"But...You're not my sister"

She buries her face into my chest. She knew, but she just couldn't take it. I'm sorry.

Yuzuki: "...I'm so sorry, sir! I've left you down. I haven't developed as you intended."

I raise her head. Silly Yuzuki, you couldn't be more wrong......

"No, I'm not sad that you're not Kaede...I'm happy that you're Yuzuki. You're you.

It was my stupid mistake. My foolish, foolish error.

"It's true that I created you to resemble my sister.....but that was based on my memories. You could never be exactly like her. No matter how much you resemble my sister you could never be exactly like her."

I stare into her eyes. They are so lifelike, it's amazing......

"No matter how much you resemble my sister, you and she are different entities."

Yuzuki: "So I am a failure. You made me to replace your sister and I failed"

Yuzuki.................

"You didn't fail—it was my childish dream that was flawed. Being with you has taught me that no one is replaceable, no matter how good the copy."

Please don't look so sad I can't bear it. Just look at me.

"I see now...no one can be my sister's replacement...just as no one can replace you."

No one could ever......if anything like this happened again I....

Yuzuki: "no one can replace...me sir?"

"That's right. After my sister died, I was no longer able to smile as I once did. I thought that I would never be able to experience joy again."

I only want to just.....I clutch her and hold her close to me. Her warmth, so........

"But you were there for me. I was able to find something I cared about because you stayed close to me. I was able to smile again."

Yuzuki: ".......I'm a persocom...."

"Yes. You're a persocom."

I stare at her. Sometimes I just want to forget. But I can't.

"Yes, your actions are dictated by your programming... but I just can't think of you as another persocom....it doesn't matter if your programming is computer code or DNA—you are unique. Even though you're a persocom, I never want to lose you. That's why I don't want to see you hurt. I don't think I'll input more of my sister's data to replace what was lost."

Yuzuki: "But then I won't be able to behave the way your sister--!"

Stop right there. Please.

"It's all right. The time I spent with my sister...will all remain a precious part of me forever. She lives in my memories.

That is why....

"That's why I want to create new memories with you. Not as a replacement for my sister, but for who you are. I treasure our time together. Little by little we're forming our own special bond."

Yuzuki: "You want to be close to me...even if I cannot replace your sister?"

Yes.....

"I want to be close to you...because you're Yuzuki."

Yuzuki: "Mr. Minoru...."

Thank you for understanding Yuzuki....thank you.

--------End of flashback-------

Finally I get up. That day...it will forever be a reminder of how I feel about her. But why is it so hard to tell her? Why can't I say that I love her? There must be some way.

"Mr. Minoru, are you ready? We don't want to be late."

She enters my room again. I just want here. There's something I want to tell you"

She walks over, slowly. My god, she's beautiful.

Yuzuki: "What is it, Mr. Minoru? Is something wrong?"

"Yuzuki, it's just.....that......I.......I.........."

I can't. I just can't. Oh god what do I say now?

"I want you to stop calling me Mr. Minoru."

Yuzuki: "WH-What?"

"You know me ten years. For god's sake just call me Minoru!"

She stares at me. Shit why did I say that? Oh, Yuzuki...

"Can you do that for me, Yuzuki?"

Yuzuki: "A-alright then. Sorry, Minoru. I'll go now."

She closes the door behind her. Fuck why couldn't I just tell her? Why do I feel so torn? Yuzuki, I love you. WHY CAN'T I JUST SAY IT?

Well there you go! I hoped you liked it. Stay tuned for chapter 2!
