Tenshi no Rei
Why was there always darkness? Why was he always taunted by the shadows? Why, why, why? In the depths of his mind, all there was was the shadows. Not to mention the dark. The dark where he could see the few memories he had as a human. The dark was always there. But this was where he let off all of his anger and steam when he was angry and where he cried when he was sad. He couldn't get rid of this place even if he wanted to. It was part of him.
Rei sighed. This happened sometimes when he went into sleep mode. That was why he preferred repair mode when he was damaged. When he was in Repair mode, he just conked out like a light.
Here, a few memories floated around from the past few days. Rei was the only one who knew what this place was. This was where his memories were stored. This place was nothing special, was it?
Rei's mind soon fell completely asleep, pulling him from the infernal darkness.
--------------
"Finished." Dr Hikari sighed and looked at the clock. It was ten in the morning. Boy, those repairs had taken nearly two hours to complete. Rei had managed to get some bad wounds. They had been much worse than they looked, and they had looked pretty bad to start with.
Now all they had to do was wait for Rei to wake up.
"Will he be alright?" Megaman asked from the sidelines. Dr Hikari nodded.
"Yes. But he needs a fair amount of time to rest and recover some more of his strength. When he does wake up, perhaps you would do something that wouldn't take too much strength?" Dr Hikari suggested. Megaman knew it was more of a command, but was willing to oblige.
"Of course!" Megaman exclaimed. He had made a mistake by yelling at Rei, and now he had an idea of how to fix it. Hopefully, it wouldn't make things worse. He quickly ran off to write an email to someone….
--------------
Roll looked up from her organizing when she received an email. She quickly opened it up, seeing it was from Megaman.
To: Roll.exe
From: Megaman.exe
Subject: We need to talk
Message: Hey, Roll. Do you think you can gather the others and meet me at the Beach Square at 3:00 PM? I have someone I need to introduce to you!
Megaman
Roll quickly looked at the time. It was 2:30 in the afternoon. It gave her enough time to talk to everyone. Roll was also curious as to who Megaman wanted to introduce to them. Roll looked at Maylu's calendar. According to that, Maylu wasn't even here then. She was busy. So Roll left a message and typed up messages to Gutsman, Glyde, Iceman and even Protoman explaining that Megaman needed to meet them at 3 at the Beach square. Roll left then to the Beach Square. It only took a few minutes to get to the Square.
When she got there, Roll looked around. There was all sorts of different navis and programs there doing all sorts of things. Then a thought crossed her mind. 'Megaman never told us where exactly to meet him' Roll thought to herself. She shrugged to herself and went over to the BBS. There, she saw Megaman talking to some other navi that Roll had never seen before.
The navi was wearing a silver jumpsuit and a black helmet, gloves and boots. He was wearing the Hikari family symbol on his chest.
Roll decided to go greet them. She ran over to them.
"Hey Mega!" Roll called out. Megaman and the mystery navi turned towards her. Megaman smiled seeing Roll.
"Hi Roll! How are you?" Roll smiled. Megaman was looking happier than before. It was good to see.
"Oh not bad. And you?" Roll asked then immediately bit her lip. That wasn't the best thing to say. Not when Megaman had just suffered the loss of his best friend. Megaman just shrugged.
"Getting better. So where are the others?" Megaman asked. Roll shook her head.
"I don't know. Oh, and where are my manners! I'm Roll! Who are you?" Roll asked the navi standing next to Megaman. The navi blinked, a little surprised looking about something.
"Oh…I'm Rei. It's nice to meet you, Roll." Rei said.
It was then that Gutsman, Protoman, Iceman and Glyde showed up there too. All of them looked around and saw Megaman and Rei and stared. Rei gulped from all of the attention towards him. He did not like this. No, he did not like this at all.
"Hey you guys!" Megaman greeted them.
"So what's up, Megaman? You been stayin cool?" Iceman asked. Megaman laughed slightly and nodded.
"I suppose you could say that. But I asked you all here, or rather Roll asked you all here is because I wanted to introduce you to my br-friend." Megaman quickly corrected himself and continued. "Everyone, this is Rei. Rei, this is Gutsman, Iceman, Protoman, Glyde and Roll." Megaman blushed slightly when he mentioned Roll. Rei noticed the blush and was slightly hurt. Instead of letting the others know this however, he plastered a fake smile on his face and pretended to be happy.
"Hi! Nice to meet you!" Rei said and tried to think of an excuse to get away. Being with five people other people that he didn't really know was just too hard for him to keep his composure. "I'm just going to wander around a bit, Megaman." Rei told his brother. Megaman frowned slightly, knowing that Rei was just trying to get away and was trying to understand why. Then he remembered what Dr Hikari had said about Rei being more of a loner than a social navi. Megaman nodded.
"Sure. Just don't go too far, Rei." Megaman told him. Rei nodded.
"D'accord!" He said and more or less sprinted away from that area. Rei slowed down and went down to the lower levels of the Beach Square. He looked around to make sure no navis and or programs were around and sat down. It was so much quieter here than up with Megaman and his 'friends'. Rei knew he probably would never really make any friends of his own here. They were Mega's friends, not his. He didn't have any friends…well, except for Adele. She was always so nice to him.
Rei snapped out of his thoughts when he heard footsteps coming towards him from behind. His eyes snapped open, he stood up and spun around in such speed that would put some of the fastest navis in the world to shame. He relaxed when he saw it was only Protoman.
"Calm down, kid. I just want to talk to you." Protoman said coolly.
"Yes?" Rei asked, preparing for lots of questions. Everyone questioned him when they first met him. Was it the black of his helmet or something?
"You don't seem to like being around others. Am I right?" Protoman just asked. Rei's eyebrows raised in confusion. Why did Protoman care?
"Hai, you're correct. I don't feel comfortable around others." Rei answered truthfully. Even though Rei couldn't see Protoman's expression behind the visor, Rei knew that Protoman was a bit surprised by that.
"Why not?"
"I just don't. I guess I'm a loner. Is it safe to assume you don't too? You don't really seem all that comfortable around them either." Rei stated and sat down once again.
"Hmm…I suppose not…Rei? Do you…ever get lonely?" Protoman asked. Rei blinked at both the question and how Protoman asked the question. He sounded so…hesitant. Rei didn't have to think much on that question.
"Of course I do! Doesn't everyone get lonely at one time or another?" Rei exclaimed. Protoman chuckled softly.
"Yes, I guess so. Well, Rei…if you ever need to talk to another person, I'm there. Take this to access my homepage." Protoman handed Rei a link to his homepage and then logged out. Rei just stared at the place where Protoman had logged out, feeling better than he ever had in a long time.

D'accord is French for 'ok'.
But so many romantic possibilities have opened up with this chapter. There's the always possible Mega/Roll and there's the unique(kinda) Rei/Proto. Ooh! What do you think? Tell me in a review, please!!
