Chapter 2

"Where, where, where?" Yumi asked excitedly.

"Be patient Yumi." Yuri replied, knowing that X and Axl haven't tracked down the two brothers yet.

"Okay." Yumi answered, still excited, almost hopping up and down, her armor bouncing up and down with her.

Yuri and Yumi was in middle of their training when they met X and Axl, they were both in armor at that time and decided that they wouldn't waste time by changing.

"The alley was the last place I saw them, what about you?" X asked Axl who was looking up at a building.

"I saw them last when they came out of the alley, so I am pretty much the same as you, except I am pretty sure that both of us saw them go into that building." Axl added as he walked over to the building that he had last saw the brothers go into.

"I guess, so want to check this place out? After all, as irregular hunters, we are open to almost every area." X also added as he walked ahead of Axl, with the twin sisters walking next to the teen.

When they entered the building, a reploid behind a counter looked up at smiled.

"Hello! Are all of you here for something, or do you all want to join?" The reploid said happily.

"We're here to look for One and Two… are they here?" Yumi said excitedly as she felt Yuri elbow her again slightly on the arm.

"Did they do something wrong?" The reploid said with a concerned face as if something was wrong.

"No, they didn't do anything wrong, just wanted to visit." Axl said, calming down the reploid who nodded and pressed on the side of her helmet.

"One and Two, there are visitors waiting for you, and they are all irregular hunters! Better not have done something wrong!" The reploid said, giggling in the transmission.

After a few minutes, footsteps were heard and a crowd of reploids and humans came running down the steps and saying random things like 'Have a nice day!' or 'Good bye!'. When the children and all the reploids were gone, one reploid came out of the elevator with red armor and another reploid came running down the steps with papers and books in his grasp, trying not to drop them.

"Sorry I'm late… again." One said as he looked up and saw the guests.

"You're dropping all the papers, you better be more careful." Two said as he picked up all the papers and handed them to One and took all the books, for they were heavier than the papers.

"So these are the people that are here to visit us? Isn't he the same guy that you bumped into?" Two asked as he looked towards X.

"Yeah, I wasn't really looking where I was running, again, I'm sorry." One said as he smiled and he walked over to the reploid behind the counter.

"So these are the visitors?" Asked One, who was dressed in clothes similar to X.

"Yep, just hope you two didn't do anything wrong!" The reploid said as she smiled.

"If there was anything wrong, I would have noticed them coming long time ago." Two said as he looked over at the female behind the counter and sighed. This could be one of the reasons I'm not comfortable around women… they make me nervous…

"Anyway, is there something you wanted to talk to us about?" One asked and noticed Yuri and Yumi. How come… they look so familiar…? It's as if I know these irregular hunters as if I knew them my whole life…

"Yes, we just wanted to know more about you two because you two remind us of our old friends." Yuri concluded as she walked forward.

"Okay… Yu… ri…" One said and Yuri turned around in surprise, and Yumi gasped.

"Excuse me?" Yuri said, wondering if she heard things and that she head heard wrong.

"Yu-Yuri…" One said as he shook his head.

"One…" Yuri said as she saw Yumi coming towards her and grabbed on her arm.

"I'm sorry, these words are just popping into my head… before anything else, let us introduce ourselves. I am One and He's Two…" One said as he looked at X and nodded.

"I am X of the 17th unit in the irregular hunters and this is Axl, Yuri, and Yumi." X finished and everyone nodded in unison.

"Your name really is Yuri…?" One asked as he looked at Yuri and then flinched.

"Ow…" One said as he rubbed the side of his head with his left hand and sighed.

"Happens all the time… even for Two…" One added and Two just smirked.

"But I'm used to it." Two said plainly.

After a few minutes of talking to each other and getting to know the hunters more for One and Two, the hunters soon learned something they never knew until now.

"So what do you two do here?" Yumi asked as she sat next to One.

"We… teach…" One said as he blushed slightly.

"Teach what kind of things?" Yumi asked, acting as if she was absorbed into the conversation.

"I teach them how to use a buster…" One said as he looked at Yumi whose eyes were twinkling like stars.

"And I teach them about the sword and saber." Two added in and looked at Yuri and noticed that she was blushing slightly when she noticed that he was looking at her.

"You do? That's amazing! Both of you!" Yumi said excitedly, hyper as ever.

"That is pretty amazing I should say." Axl jumped into the conversation and smiled.

"Yeah, I agree." X agreed as he got up and looked at the two copies.

"We have to leave now, it's already almost time for lunch anyway." X said and everyone else got up and greeted them good-bye as they walked to the irregular hunter head quarters.

"They seem… familiar…" Two said plainly as he went back into the building and grabbed One's books and handed them to him.

"I guess our work times over for now, so long." Two said as he waved at One and walked the opposite direction that One was going in.

I feel so close to him… why, and how…? Are we somehow connected…? Both One and Two thought as they walked down the street and One laughed slightly as Two chuckled.
