James saw Sirius running, he quickly hopped off the moving sidewalk and down the stairs. He leapt around a corner and the girl ran smack into him, James quickly caught himself and grabbed her arms. The girl was still, not knowing how to react.

"Sirius!" James called. Sirius ran up as fast as he could and grabbed her. James knelt down to get a better look at the helmet. "Hold on, I'll get it off" He promised as she started struggling to get free.

He slid his hands along the bottom and felt two release buttons. He pressed them and with a whir sound, the helmet's locks slid around and James was able to pull it off. He dropped the helmet as he looked at the girl's face. It was so much like Kira's but... No, please, it couldn't be. There was a strange device over her eyes. It was black and had a think, glowing red line across the center. It didn't look like it could come off.

"K-Kira" James breathed. Sirius released his grip as Remus and Peter caught up. The girl, however, flipped forward, over James's head.

"Kira Tenshi, is under my protection" She stated.

"K-kira Tenshi?" James asked, bewildered.

"You're not Kira?" Remus asked, sounding a bit relieved.

"Specimen: Kira Tenshi, is too powerful to walk the halls unattended" The girl stated curtly, delivering a sharp blow to Sirius's side as he tried to grab her again.

"Too powerful?" James breathed. "What did they do to her?!"

"Inadequate request" The girl stated, leaning back in a cat-like fighting stance.

"Don't give me that bull shit!" James growled.

"Who are you?" Peter asked.

"My tag is No name. My designation number is 82753. My rank is 1. My level is 3. My master is Takai. My teacher is Hatchel. My job is to guard specimen Kira Tenshi until she completes her training.`

"Show me Kira's file, No name" Remus ordered.

"Takai has granted permission to one: Remus Lupin. 82753 is granted permission to release file on 40729 " Cota announced over the intercom. With out the helmet, Takai couldn't tell the girl she was being lied to. Cota coughed and opened a door.

No name nodded and led them to a room with a computer. She plugged a cord into the device on her arm and pressed a few buttons on the device. The screen flashed to life and opened a file. The file was encrypted and it seemed only the girl could read it.

"Specimen Kira: Designation number: 40729. Master: Takai. Teacher: Irving. Job: To kill. Assigned to P.A, C.T, M.F, L.T,-" No name's visor flashed, and the red faded slightly. She jerked her head to the side and started walking away.

"Where are you going, 82753?" Remus asked, mastering the lingo.

"I am to protect 40729" She answered.

"We aren't here to hurt her" James explained gently.

"We want to help her, you too. You just need to help us find her and I promise we'll get you out too" Sirius agreed, loosing his rough voice and trying his best to sound calm.

"Inadequate request" No name answered.

"She doesn't understand the question" Cota coughed and James could hear the hiss over the intercom. "There are some notes on her" He coughed "She's like a robot, you have to word every thing like" He coughed again, "Like procedure"

"Get out of there, Cota" James ordered.

"Enough with that! Watch" They heard the chair slide away from the controls. Immediately all the doors closed and an alarm went off. A few agonizing seconds passed and the alarm stopped with the sound of typing. "See?"

"That's what he's expecting, but-" James started.

"Don't worry about me, get Kira!" Cota coughed more and breathed in a raspy breath.

Remus looked to No name. She was walking over to the closed door.

"82753, stop!" Remus ordered, she stopped.

"I need you to take me to k-... To 40729" James pleaded, his voice was smooth as silk and greatly elemental.

"No" She answered, emotionlessly.

"What?" James asked.

"I am to protec-" She began.

"I know, but we aren't going to hurt her. I want to take her home. She has a loving mother, and a new baby brother waiting for her. She has fresh air, she has good food, she has toys, she has a lot of people who love her dearly" James explained, his voice was like a waterfall on rocks, refreshing and magical.

"She has a loving father. She has everything at home" Remus said.

"And I'd be right pleased if you came with us" Sirius stated with a nod. "You could come live with me, or Peter, or, hell, I'm sure Dumbledore'd take ya in a second. You'd have a perfect life"

"So, please, just show me where Kira is and we can all go home" James's voice was other worldly and beautiful.

"I am to guard Kira-"

"You can live with her" James smiled. "You're welcome in my home, you obviously like Kira a lot"

"Like... Repeat command. Unknown request" No name asked, her voice sounding blank.

"Yeah, like, you watch out for her. You want her to be happy" James smiled widly and nodded.

"Then 'like' is inacurate. Kira is not supposed to be happy. She is in M.F" No name stated, her robotic voice seeming cold.

"M.F? What is M.F?" Peter squeeked from behind Sirius, he had ducked when she had glared at him momentarily.

"Mindset Focus" Cota stated, his vioce was muffled, he was obviously breathing through a cloth. "They're trying to make her think everything they do is normal, killing is good, follow Takai's every comand, be a good little drone"

"A life of suffering is no life" Remus stated to No name.

"...Inadaquet comand" No name answered.

"She's in pain!" Peter shrieked.

Sirius walked over and slapped her across the face. "That! That is pain, it's part of suffering!" He growled. "Don't like it do you!?"

No name stood up and walked to the computer, once again plugging the wire into her arm comp.

"She's trying to find what you did in the combat list. So she can find out how to react" Cota anounced, he seemed to have made himself quite at home in their computer system.

"Can't you see it hurt! Can't you tell that it's wrong?! Do you want Kira to have to endure worse then that!?" Sirius bellowed.

"Kira has gone through training today, already. I am not scedualed to take that course of training" No name stated like a spoiled child.

"What?" Sirius growled.

"Lemme see... ah, here it- god" Cota stopped typing and let out a sigh. "Kira's training is to be shown a fighting scenario, then pushed into the room and attacked. She is supposed to react as shown earlier. They put her in with the experiments so she has to fight them before they kill her. They wouldn't let her actually be killed, but knocked out is fine with them. Then they put their enemys in rooms with the creatures. Kira is supposed to watch the fight.... It's usually pretty ugly" Cota's voice shuddered with a deep loathing. "No name's training" He said rather lightly, yet with a hint of deep hatred. "Is watching an instructor, Hatchel, show her how to move in certain situations, mostly how to murder someone. You guys are standing in a room with a loaded gun" Cota anounced, his voice loaded with disgust.

"That's it. No name, I order you to show me to Kira. We are taking her home" Remus ordered.

"Kira, is not scedualed to leave. She has not completed her training" No name stated, turning on her heel and walking away.

She slammed into the door and stumbled back. Then walked forward again, hit the door. She stood up and walked at it again, same result. Again, again, again.

"The door is closed" Peter stated in a surprised voice. In shock at what he was seeing.

No name stood up and placed her hand on a sensor. The door slid open. Cota closed it. No name walked forward like she didn't notice it close. Yet it had closed with a loud hiss, she had to have heard it. She hit the door, stumbled, walked forward, hit the door.

"What the hell" Sirius asked.

"I have no clue" Cota answered. "Her file says she was created, just like Kira..."

Remus shook his head. "Stop, 82753" No name stopped. Cota opened the door. "Lead us to Kira, 82753"

"Takai has granted permission to one: Remus Lupin. Your orders are to lead him to 40729" Cota stated.

"Remus, Cota, we would all really appreciate it if you informed us of your plans!" Peter grumbled.

No name swung around and kicked Remus in the side. He cried out in pain and fell. James rushed forwards and was delt a hard blow to the face. He was knocked backwards. No name rushed forward and grabbed Remus around the throat.

"What the hell is going on!" Sirius exclaimed as he tried to help Remus and received a sharp kick in the ribs for his troubles.

"I don't know!" Cota cried. "But she'll kill him!"

"Aquor!" Peter casted, firing a heavy blast of water at No name. She was thrown off Remus and landed on her feet. No name turned and fled down the hall. Sirius was right after her.

"Where is Kira!" He demanded as they raced along the hallway. No name ran faster, she jumped onto a lift and the gate slid shut behind her. She turned around and was motionless, as if nothing had happened. She didn't flinch as Sirius crashed into the gate and pounded his fists against it, nor did she seem to notice him brandish his knife and try to pick the lock. However, Sirius was too late. The lift was down and out of sight before he got the knife in the lock. Cota was trying to send the lift back up, but was getting dizzy and couldn't. Everything looked fuzzy. The security monitor erupted with static. The screen on the control room, the hallway Sirius, Remus, James, and Peter were in, and the lift was out. It seemed the cameras were broken. Cota couldn't fix them, not with all the pounding in his head. However, he saw an entrance to where No name had gone.

"S-sirius" His voice stuttered over the intercom. "T-try... t-" There was a moan and a thud.

"Cota?" Sirius called up. No response other then the familiar loud hiss. "Shit, James!" Sirius pushed himself away from the lift gate, and down the hall. "We need to find the control room, now!"

James slid to a stop and stared over at the lift. His daughter or his squire... Not squire, Cota was more like a son. James couldn't think, he knew he didn't have time! One way Cota died, the other way, he lost Kira. James stumbled in his steps and his heart skipped and then pounded harshly.

"It's alright" A calm voice stated over the intercom. The hissing had stopped, but that voice didn't belong to Cota.

"C-cota?" James asked.

"Don't concern yourself. He's fine" The voice stated.

"Who the hell are you!? What the F**k did you do to Cota?!" Sirius demanded. (Mike:Why are you censoring? Eve:...)

"I really hope you didn't use that mouth to talk to Kira" The voice stated, sounding slightly amused. "The boy is fine, he's asleep right now. The gas was too much for him"

"That didn't answer my question at all!" Sirius bellowed.

The man over the intercom laughed gently. "I'm on your side. I shut off the gas, but I was too slow at it. The boy, Cota? Did you say his name was? He's fine, I didn't do anything to him. I'm not even near him"

"Why... Why help us, you must work here, so why help us?" James asked, people here confused him.

"Am I speaking to the man who is Kira's father?" The voice asked, sounding pleased.

"I- Yes" James answered.

"I'm pleased to finally meet you. Kira told me about you, but that is beside the point right now. Cota, bright lad, found the secret entrance to the third floor. He would have pointed it out, but... Well, anyway. It is to your right. There is an air vent that drops to the third floor" The voice explained. There was a small groan and the man's voice came back over the intercom. "Well, that is good. He's waking up now. I can't open any of the doors and have no idea how to work anything up in the control room, I just know how to redirect the cameras" Cota groaned again and coughed. "I'll have to leave you now" The man stated, there was a click and an alarm went off as the door behind James and infront of Remus and Peter, dropped shut. They tried to pry it open for a few minutes as they watched out for a weapon.

"Ow" Cota rubbed his shoulder, his doctor would surely kill him for all the stuff he'd done to it in one today. He picked himself up and was thrown into full alert by the flashing lights and howling sirens. Cota pulled himself up, launched himself groggily into the chair and began the rapid security shutdown procedure, or RSSP.

"Cota!?" James called.

"I'm trying, I'm trying" Cota responded hastily. Though he felt like he was having a hang over. The door opens and Remus and Peter jump through. They ran down the hall and ripped off the vent cover. James jumped through and was rocketed down a long slide-like vent. He hit the sides with every turn and was scrapped by nails that were sticking out of it. Then crashed into the gate at the other end, forcing it open. He sprung to his feet and moved away from the vent.

"There you are. You need to get back in-" James heard a male voice say.

"Comand error. I am to guard 40729" No name's voice stated.

"You'll shut down unless you-"

"My orders are to guard 40729"

"You will shut down!"

"Enough" A different male voice interrupted. "Her job is to guard 40729. If she doesn't do that, then why should she continue to work?"

"But... She'll-"

"I know. But something without a soul never dies"

"... Alright. Go"

James heard the door open and no name walked out. She didn't seem to notice him as she walked past. Sirius shot out of the vent, landing infront of her, but she didn't even seem to see him. She just continued walking. Sirius was about to grab her, but one look from James stopped him. The same idea sprung into their minds and they nodded to one another. Peter shot down without a bump or bruise on him. It seemed his scrawny nature and smaller size made it easier for him to slide down without noise or injury. Remus followed, landing beside Peter.

"You've got to be fit to do that" Remus said, out of breath.

They all nodded with a laugh and then walked out the door No name had just went through as Cota opened it. It led to another hallway. Only this one had bright green, red, and neon yellow paint on the floor. The stripes read: Bedrooms. Heliport. Laboratory. They were planning to follow No name... but if they could follow a simple line instead, they'd take the line any day. They followed the green line down many hallways untill they finally entered a hallway with doors on either side. James and Sirius stood on one side and Remus and Peter took the other. They opened the first doors and walked on. James and Sirius entered into the room to find it was not what they had expected at all. It looked comfortable. There was a navy blue colored bed, an oak closet, a T.V, a desk with a chair and computer, a leather chair, and a few lamps. Sirius opened the door on the opposite end of the room.

"Hmmph" He stated in a light tone. "Bathroom"

James walked over and sure enough, it was. This resembled more like a dorm room then anything. James walked over to the desk as Sirius examined the closet. There was a schedule on the desk and a list of orders for that day. Sirius examined the closet to find a few uniforms, a few regular outfits, three pairs of shoes: formal, casual, work. A duffle bag that was grass green, and a few hats. They walked out of the room, with bewildered looks on their faces and found Peter and Remus with the exact same look.

"Did we accidentally apperate over to a high-class military base?" Peter asked.

"... A luxury military base" Remus corrected. Peter nodded that that had been what he meant.

"Should we look through the computers?" Sirius asked.

"Nah, they are mostly personal use comps. You'd probably just find some porn" Cota stated.

"Some what?" Remus asked.

"Never mind, it's just a way for male Muggles to loose I.Q. points" Cota stated. He'd seen the photo of No name and his mind had snapped over to 'what if this WAS Kira? It wasn't a porn picture... but it had still sent a chill down his spile. What if someone here did that kind of thing and used Kira as a model for it? What if someone made money by putting her picture on the internet?' Cota had then become disgusted with it and had sent a virus into any 'adult' picture files he could locate. He was a 19 year old guy, but he preferred to have a REAL girl friend, rather then a fantasy with a picture or movie. Cota also believed it was the girl's choice, but he wouldn't date someone who did stuff like that, because it was like they were saying 'Males run the world. Women are nothing but sex objects and should work hard to fulfill their man's fantasy.' Regularly Cota would have had no problem with that... but he didn't want to marry someone he couldn't respect. Plus the thought of someone doing that to Kira, who he thought of as a sister was unbearable-

"You've been quite for like three minutes now and we've looked through two more rooms... you gonna explain?" Peter asked.

"Explain what?" Cota asked, looking at Peter byway of the security camera that he had learned to move around.

"What's on the computer?" Peter asked.

Cota sighed. "Nothing that is important. Worry more about Kira"

"Gotcha" Peter said, following Remus into another room.

After about fifteen minutes they had searched all the rooms, stunned five people and still hadn't found Kira. They followed the yellow line into another hallway. James saw four doors. He opened the first one and Cota's voice burst through over the intercom.

"No, no! Lord James, that's a trap!"

James was grabbed by Sirius and pulled back faster then he could blink. "What?" They both asked, shaken and staring wide eyed at the security camera that Remus had taken to talking to.

"It's a trick" Cota explained, the camera moving to face James and Sirius.

"Trick?" Sirius asked. The camera nodded.

"You walk into the door, it automatically shuts and locks. There is some king of... sasquatch on the other side" Cota said.

"... So?" Sirius asked, not at all afraid of a monkey-man.

The security camera zoomed in. "So, it's ripping something apart... looks like a human arm or something.. ooops nope, I was wrong, it's a human leg"

"... Oh" Sirius said, his voice noticeably higher.

"... Jeez" James breathed.

"... I'm hoping Kira hasn't learned that trick" Peter squeeked, receiving glares from James, Sirius, Remus and the security camera. (Mike: What! Eve:... let it be, let it be) "Joking!" He squeeked loudly. "Only joking!"

"Is there a way you can access a map so we can find out which rooms are traps without opening the doors?" Remus asked, the security camera whirred to look at him.

"Umm.....No..." The camera turned from side to side in a 'no' expression.

"...Okay" James hesitated infront of the next door. He took a deep breath, and opened it.
