þþþþþø-þþþþþø-þþþþþø-þþþþþø-þþþþþø-þþþþþø-þþþþ
When I exited Dauragon's quarters I found a mask guard standing in front of me. I looked quizzically at him while wondering how did he manage to breath beneath such a mask. My interrogations were cut short we said that he would show me my room. His voice was muffled by the leather but I still heard him very clearly.
"I was beginning to wonder if you were all mute." I said unable to stop myself before the words came out. I actually never knew if he took it as joke or not, thanks to the mikado uniform. He led me through a well decorated corridor, a dark red carpet covered the floor and the walls were painted in tones of blue. I was admiring golden patterns that framed the blue walls when the man in front of me stopped and gestured toward a red oak door. I smiled at myself when I saw how my room was near to Dauragon's.
I grabbed the gold carved handle and opened the door. I was greeted by a vast bay window which shown the platform's woods and further spread the billions of lights from the city. I loved the sight. Nothing particularly stuck out of the rest of the features. A normal sized bed which cream colored blankets was against the left wall and glass desk was at it's end. It needed a few plants but it wasn't bad at all, really much better than white walls.
I thanked the guard and wished him a good night as I made my way to the closet, I swung open to the doors, thinking that I would find it empty but instead it was filled with various outfits. Later, I learned that they belonged to the ex-president's wife who was killed with her husband. I grabbed a night gown and headed to the bathroom. I quickly checked the sink, the shower and the pharmacy in case that they put some cameras. They probably already saw me nude when I was in coma but they wouldn't enjoy it anymore. I found nothing, I sighed and passed the gown on in a corner before cleaning myself quickly. When I headed out of the bathroom, I immediately went to my bed. I think I never fell asleep that fast before.
My eyes snapped open by themselves at 6 a.m., I snorted and stretched my arms above my head. I almost jerked myself out when I noticed that I was in bed, a real bed. The memories of last night eventually came back flooding in and I stood up. I put on some fluffy purple slippers that I found under the bed and headed out of the bedroom.
I headed in the opposite direction of Mr. Mikado's quarter not feeling like seeing my murderer so early. I went down a glass catwalk staircase and ended into a vast hallway. I took a random turn into a corridor and tried to spot some living thing to ask where was the kitchen. It was after that I have been walking in circles for fifteen minutes that I finally admitted that there everything seemed the same on this level, the doors, the corridors and even the plants without forgetting about the fact there was no sign of life in any corner.
I walked back to the main hallway and sat on a stair of the cat walk, the glass' coldness passed through the night gown's fabric and was slowly numbing my butt. It was until I saw a soldier walking out casually from a corridor that I suddenly remembered that I was in slippers and that the gown was slightly revealing. The stranger didn't noticed me yet and I could see his head. Sighing and trying to compose myself a facade to hide my embarrassment, I jogged up to the man and lightly tapped on his shoulder. He jumped and bit and turn around with an incredible swiftness. When I saw who he was, I wanted to slap myself.
The Elite's Commander stood in front me, the man I tried to escape from a few hours ago.
"Hi..err.. sir." I said uneasily, I was grateful that I didn't stumble on my words though. "Your name is Mugestu, right?" I asked. During the whole time he simply stared at me blankly only when I did mention his name that his eyebrows raised a little bit.
"Yes, that is me." He replied simply, quickly looking down at my attire.
"I won't bother you for a long, I just wanted to know where is the kitchen please.." I said crossing my arms in front of me.
A light half-laugh escaped from his pale lips. I saw his lips shape to speak out something but an alarm siren echoed through the walls before he could do so.
"Alert level 4, the number 0114 is trying to escape through the east gate. To all units, Main priority recover the experiment before it reaches it's destination. I repeat.." the female mechanical voice didn't have the time to finish her sentence that Mugetsu was already running toward a door marked "Exit" and I found myself following him. He was running fast, very fast and surprisingly I was able to keep up with him.
He busted through the door, it was staircase and the longest I saw in my entire life. He didn't even look down once and he simply hopped above the ramp. I looked down at him as he landed six stages under and then I jumped. I realised what I did when my feet reached the floor, it was incredible, I didn't feel any pain. I dashed after Mugetsu as he ran into the corridor. We ran through the white labyrinth that was the laboratory level until I saw a yellow spot emerge from spot in front of me. It was girl, a young girl, younger than me and I crashed into her, hard. I rolled over her and ended up side down against a wall, my head was throbbing with pain but when my eyes focused back I saw the blond girl and her yellow coat laying on the floor next to me.
Mugetsu had stopped running and he was now standing in between me and her. He grabbed the blond her and pulled her up on her feet, she smiled at him in such a childish way. I didn't like her. I slowly knelt up, an arm circled around my waist and it lifted into the air before putting me back down. I turned around and saw an other man with silver hair but his hair hid the half of his face and a scar ran across the eye I could see.
"Thanks." Was what I managed to speak. The deep mechanical voice that answered a "no problem" back stunned me for a few seconds. It was when he turned around to face the girl and Mugetsu that I saw his other eye, it wasn't an eye, it was a mechanical gear which emitted a red light. He was a cyborg or a full robot. I could believe it.
I found myself back in Dauragon's office a few minutes after this time though I was with Mugetsy, the yellow coat girl and the cyborg. When Dauragon walked in he was wearing a loose white shirt which revealed a fair amount of his strong chest. I would have been melting away on the designed carpet if he didn't killed before.
Mugetsu walked up to him and they talked in hushed whispers while I was waiting, always standing behind the cyborg. Finally, Dauragon headed straight toward the girl and started to yell at her, she simply stood there linking her fingers together and twirling her thumbs around each an other as he continued to tell her what wrong she did. Blond locks of hair shielded her eyes, so I couldn't see how she felt.
When Dauragon ended his speech she looked up at him and smiled fully, almost seductively. I hated her, she was even more perfect than me and she was so mindless, a complete hair head. The PDG turned away from the girl and gestured to Mugetsu and the cyborg to bring the girl out. They didn't come back in so I was about to follow when I heard Dauragon ordering me to wait from behind. I stopped in mid-pace and turned around, looking down at my toes since I lost a slipper back on the laboratory level.
"Thank you for stopping her." He said not looking up from a pile of sheets he held. I figured out that the girl was the 0114 the alert was about.
"No problem!" my answer reminded the cyborg and it sent shivers down my spine. After all, wasn't I a cyborg too? Only that his synthetic parts were more apparent on my side, all that was inside of me was synthetic. I shook my head and discarded this though in a corner of my head.
"What is it?" he asked since I still stood there. He was completely impassable which made me feel even more uneasy at the apparent stupidity from how simple was the question I wanted to ask.
"Huh..err.. Where is the kitchen?" I finally blurted out, feeling the carpet under my toes. Dauragon looked up from his report and arched an eyebrow at me.
"Just signal the number and ask what you want, it's on a pad near the phone in your room." He stated back still looking at me and it seems that he noticed my peculiar outfit for the first time.
I half-smiled at him and wiggled my toes. "Lost my slipper when I bumped into .. the.. the girl."
"Dominique." He stated back still showing no emotion. He knew her name, it was strange I thought and yet somehow I hated the girl even more for it perhaps it was jealousy. I shortly nodded and headed toward the door.
"Have a good day Daurie!" was the last thing I said before the glass doors shut behind me. I saw him , from the corner of my eye, looking at me through the door in a strange way. I found my way to my room and signalled the number. After ordering a breakfast, I quickly took a shower and passed on some black pants and warm looking red stripped shirt, I grabbed my green sash along with the red rope from my old thorn out outfit and tied them around my waist as well. I glanced in the mirror and smiled at my reflection. Luckily the woman didn't have a too bad taste in outfits.
Someone knocked on the door startling me a bit then I jogged over it and opened up. I was greeted by tray of fuming pancakes along with strawberries, I thanked the maid and shut back the door. I even to the glass table and ate faster then I ever did. I was chewing on the last piece of pancake when I heard a sound of a gun shot in the corridor followed by the sound of something crumbling near my door.
I jumped up and rushed outside, the first I saw was the bullet hole in the door frame then I noticed the form of a mikado guard standing at the other end of the corridor. He held a gun in his left hand and it was pointed straight at me. I heard a soft struggle at my feet and I gazed down from the guard to see the back of a dark blue trench coat leaning against a wall. A deep red stain was widening on it's left side.
The yells of the other elites rose through the once calm hallways, the last words I heard were "A traitor!.. The PDG has been shot.." and then the traitor pulled the trigger once again. The loud bang echoed through the hallways, this time though the bullet was meant for me.
