Blah Blah Blah: Thoughts
Light Your Face With A Smile
Chapter 10
Me
The small group walked down the set of stairs as they reached two big automatic doors. Ziggy, who was leading the group, stepped through them, and the others soon followed. Upon doing so, they were all greeted by a few Vector employees. One of them they recognized...
Shion's eyes grew wide as she walked ahead of Ziggy and starred at the girl in front of her. She had short brown hair with a red and beige Vector uniform.
" Miyuki!?" Shion said surprised by her appearance.
" Hehe, hey Shion, long time no see!" Miyuki called as she gave her a light hug and pulled back.
" What are you doing here!?" Shion questioned.
" Oh come on Shion! Do you really have to ask that, you know I'm always in on anything top secret eh!?" Miyuki balled her fists in front of chest as she gave off a pouting expression. Shion closed her eyes and sighed at this.
" Uh, hey Miyuki!" Allen came forward as Miyuki became startled at first, but then gave off a shy smile.
" Allen? What are you doing here, I didn't even notice you..." Miyuki pulled her hands behind her back as Allen sulked. He never was noticeable to begin with...poor Allen. Miyuki looked behind her two friends to look at the other guests.
" I remember you three...although, I don't think we were formally introduced. I'm Miyuki."
" The names chaos." the male said as he took Miyuki's hand to shake it. "This is Jr...which you probably heard of him. And this is Ziggy. Of course, you know KOS-MOS." chaos finished as the other three nodded and Miyuki smiled.
" Good to see you again KOS-MOS, nice updates." Miyuki commented as KOS-MOS only nodded again.
" Well then...wait, I thought it was Ziggu-" Miyuki was caught off.
" Ziggy...just Ziggy." The cyborg said as Miyuki only nodded. She then turned around to look at Shion, who had her arms crossed, waiting for an answer to her earlier question.
" And as for what I'm doing here, President Wilhelm himself ordered a few of us to come here. In the report, Ziggy suggested this place as a cover. And that we would be treating a 100-series, although, I'm here for defense measures. You never know who might come and pop up to attack us. Me and-" Miyuki was cut off once again as a man stepped forward.
" Chris Fields." ( made up I think...well, I gave the guy with the blue hair a name cause I didn't know his real name.. . )
" Uh, yea, he's also from second division. We'll be supplying the materials and whatever information needed. As for the others, they'll be repairing...uh..." Miyuki trailed off as she saw Jr. glare at her. "What?"
" Her name is MOMO." Jr. bit out as Miyuki tilted her head.
" Jr., you don't have to be like that, she didn't know." Shion asked softly as Jr. calmed down.
" Oh...am I missing something?" Miyuki questioned as an apologetic look crossed her face.
" We'll fill you in later..." chaos cut in as Miyuki nodded. They all stood in silence as Chris spoke.
" Well then...we should tend to matters now shouldn't we? Standing around here isn't going to get us anywhere." Chris thoughtfully said as everyone agreed. Jr. looked around and bit his lip.
" Let's at least show you your rooms! I bet you wouldn't want to be carrying your bags all day eh?" Miyuki said as Shion only smiled. They all started walking.
" Miyuki?" KOS-MOS began as said young lady nodded, looking ahead of her. The other employees had gone back to work, seeing as how there was no point in them also showing them to their rooms. "What is our current situation?"
" Oh, well...Those scary people who are after you aren't in the area, and there trying to get their hands on every little bit of information to find you. They seem to be looking for something..."
"No duh...they're looking for us." Jr. cut in as Miyuki shook her head.
" No it's not that, from what me and Chris learned, they think you have something that could get them in bigggg trouble, I'm not sure myself on what it could be though." Miyuki took on a thinking pose as she kept walking.
" The disk..." Ziggy said as chaos and Shion looked over at him.
" Yes...I think your right." Shion said.
" What disk?" Miyuki said as Ziggy looked over to her.
" A disk containing information on past experiments with MOMO, her conditions, and the sort."
" But how could that get them in trouble? Well...depends on what experiments were being done..." Miyuki continued.
" They were violating a few laws. And secretly transporting MOMO's location when that wasn't in the deal. Stuff like that these days can get you in big trouble." Jr. explained as Miyuki stopped in a certain hall way.
" Here we go! This place isn't so big, so it's easy to get to certain places. Your gonna have to share rooms though, since the facility isn't so big."
" That's fine with me." chaos said as Shion agreed.
" Alright! To the left, the first door, you'll be in there Shion. Jr. and chaos will be to the room down the hall across from yours. Lucky for you Ziggy, we were able to get you your recharging chair ( or whatever the thing is called... . ), so your room will be next to Shion's...well down the hall. And as for KOS-MOS, her room is across from yours Shion. Whatever she needs should be set up in there. If any of you need anything else, you can call any one of us." Miyuki announced cheerfully. "Well, get to it! I'll be waiting here for you. Oh, and you all have maps of the place in your rooms if you all get lost! There are separate men's and women's bathrooms down the hall, and in other locations. We also got to install a small eating area, it's great." Miyuki said as she shooed everyone to their rooms. Allen began to pout.
" Hey! What about me!?" Allen said.
" Oops! I'm sorry Allen!" Miyuki shrugged as Allen sulked once again. Shion gave him an amused look. "Well, I'll show you to your room later, you'll be bunking with one of the crew members here like me."
" Oh...ok" Allen shrugged. Everyone except Allen and Miyuki went to their rooms as Jr. was the last left in the hall.
" Yes?" Miyuki asked as Jr. looked down.
" Could you...take me to see MOMO?" Jr. asked awkwardly as Miyuki looked on confusingly but then smiled. She had a hunch that maybe the little master had a thing for the pink haired girl.
" Sure! Let's wait for the others though, I'm sure they're curious as to how she's doing...sadly, I'm not sure myself as to what they've been doing in the huge area." Miyuki said as she sighed embarrassingly.
" Eh?" Jr. questioned.
" Oh, we turned the huge area we could find into a lab! We're keeping her there." Miyuki finished as Jr. nodded and headed over to his own room. As the doors slid open, he saw chaos sitting on one of the beds. The floors were tiled as two beds were opposite each other. All other needed valuables we in the room. And in some strange way, the room looked cheerful with it's blue walls. Jr. walked over to his bed and threw his stuff to the floor, causing chaos to chuckle.
The red head then walked over to the door and tapped his foot impatiently. chaos raised an eyebrow while looking at him.
" Aren't you going to settle in?"
" I can do that later, Miyuki is going to take us to see MOMO, so hurry up." With that, Jr. was about to leave...
" She'll be ok...I know she will." chaos said softly as Jr. tightened his fist a bit and turned to look at chaos. chaos's expression softened even more as he saw the look in Jr.'s eyes.
Longing maybe? He looked down right depressed. ( CRAP, I completely forgot about Jr.'s bandage around his head...ok, let's all pretend that when they left Jin's house...he took it off while he was changing...yea...ok, that makes sense...and he still has the other bandages...onward!)
" Yea..." Jr. whispered as he felt a slight itching in his arm. As he began to rub the area, chaos stood up and walked over to the door as it slid open. He had forgotten ( well, me really... . ) about his leg and arm.
" How's your arm? Does it hurt?" chaos said as Jr. shook his head. chaos had also forgot to ask about Jr.'s injuries. That wasn't like him...
" No...just itches..." Jr. trailed off as chaos walked out of the room with Jr.
" Ok, well, how about later we'll check on it ok?" chaos paused as Jr. nodded weakly. "And...I hope you aren't mad at me about before...I'm just concerned about your well being...everyone is."
" Huh? Oh..." Jr. remembered that little talk they had back at Jin's house. "Nah, it's ok...your right, I should apologize."
" No need, just remember if I have to yell at you again to get some sense into you, I will." chaos waved his hands in front of him as Jr. pushed some of his hair back. On doing this, chaos noticed a small injury on his head, which was covered by his bangs. He decided not to press on it, seeing how the bandage that was on his head before was for that.
" chaos...Jr.? You ready?" Shion called as they both snapped their heads towards the voices direction. They both nodded and walked over to Shion. Ziggy then spoke.
" Miyuki gave us the heads up on where we will be going next."
" Yup, since we're all here, let's get moving!" Miyuki cheerfully exclaimed as they began to walk down the corridor.
" Your leg?" chaos said, picking up on where the conversation left off. Shion heard him and looked over her shoulder a bit.
" Oh how stupid of me! How is your leg Jr.? Do you feel better?" Shion cut in as Jr. shook his head and then crossed his arms.
" So nice of you to care Shion...you could have brought up the question before though, so your a little late..." Jr. slyly said as Shion glared at him.
" Excuse me for caring..." Shion pouted as Jr. looked on satisfied.
" Anyway, my leg feels fine, I do heal fast you know." Jr. finally answered as chaos nodded and looked ahead of him. KOS-MOS had been silent for awhile...he wandered what had been going on in that cute head of hers.
With that little thought, chaos shook his head and crossed his hands behind his head. This really isn't the time to being getting side tracked. But chaos let himself slide this time. He couldn't help it. KOS-MOS looked so different. He hadn't got the chance to talk to her alone...
But chaos would make sure that he would...defiantly.
Miyuki had proceeded in talking to Shion. Allen was a little ticked to have Shion's attention turned away from him, due to the fact that he was trying to get her to talk to him.
" Hey, did you here about the whole trail that's going on?"
" What trail?"
" With the Contact SubCommittee and the Kukai Foundation." Miyuki said as Jr.'s ears perked up.
" What is going on?" Jr. asked as Allen began to explain.
" Ever since the whole incident at one of the Committee's facilities, the federation and representative's are out raged at the number of people they lost. They also found out about MOMO, so they got a little more ticked and are now investigating the situation. They all know how important MOMO is...and another little piece of information got out."
" What?"
" It's believed that the Y-Data inside MOMO was never extracted, so if they don't locate MOMO soon, everyone is going to go crazy...it seems some people know something we don't." Allen sighed.
" Do they...have any suspects?" Jr. inquired, a bit sad by the news. For all they knew, Jr. felt that he should be locked up somewhere...it was his fault all those innocent people got killed...Just like that one time...Jr. placed his hands on his guns as he tapped them lightly while in deep thought. What torture he was putting himself through?
" Well, they mostly suspect the Kukai Foundation and the Committee itself...as of now, they're trying to get their hands on Mary Godwin."
" On Mary?"
" Yea! She was a witness! So the Kukai Foundation is trying to keep her under low cover and all." Allen finished
" Oh..." Jr. whispered as they all suddenly stopped.
" We're here everyone." Miyuki announced as they stood, once again, in front of two big automatic doors.
Beat... Beat...( bare with me people...it's a heart beat! Lol)
Jr. took a deep breath. He wanted to brace himself for what he was about to see...
Beat...Beat...
The doors opened as they all slowly entered the room...
Beat.. Beat..
Shion swallowed lightly as Miyuki made her way to one of the lab personal and the two began to talk.
Beat..Beat..
The room was somewhat big. A small balcony, which they were at now, stood at the beginning of the room. This room wasn't brightly lit, but it did serve it's purpose on bringing in light so people could see what they were doing. Three lab personal were in here. One at the computers, another with Miyuki, and one standing in the middle of the room where a mechanical bed stood.
Beat.Beat...Beat.Beat...
There were many gadgets around the room...but the bed in the middle was occupied...Jr.'s eyes widened as he noticed a pink haired girl in it...
BEAT BEAT...
" MOMO!!!" Jr. shouted out as he pushed Miyuki out of the way and ran down the stairs. Everyone looked down as their eyes also widened. They followed Jr. down the stairs.
" MOMO!!" Jr. repeated as he stopped in front of the bed to take a good look at her. The other two members in the room had stopped what they were doing and looked over at the red headed boy. Jr. became completely disheartened at what he saw.
MOMO sat so very still on the bed. So stiff...so fragile she looked. Her eyes were closed as her hair was free from it's usually clips that kept it up. Her pink cotton candy like hair spread around her in a delicate manner. Her clothes seemed a bit tattered and worn out. She only wore a small tight sleeveless shirt that exposed her stomach, and gray shorts that matched the color of her top. Her skin looked completely pale...unhealthy maybe...
Many small gadgets were hooked to her to check her stats every so often...no needles stuck in her, to everyone's relief...She seemed to look battered up as well...A small tube was placed over her mouth to keep her breathing. He never saw so many things hooked up to a person before. Something else caught his eye. She appeared to have scars on her arms, legs, and neck. They seemed to match her skin color...but a tad bit darker they were...and Jr. almost broke down...
How could this have happened?
" As you might be aware...I will be helping to the best of my ability to save her...I am Doctor from Vector industries. Dr. Lunas." The woman said as she approached the table were everyone stood.
" Do you all mind backing up from my patient?? I don't agree to so many people hovering over her, she's in a critical state..." The Dr. narrowed her eyes as everyone felt awkward. Point taken...
The Dr. pointed over to the other side of the room for everyone to follow her, Jr. was the only one to stay by MOMO'S side. Shion frowned at this and approached Jr. She placed her hands on one of his shoulders, but he shrugged them away. chaos looked over to her and shook his head. Shion walked back to the small group as they all waited for the doctor to give a explanation.
" I am very much aware of the current situation we are all now in." The women paused. " MOMO is the 100-series prototype I've been hearing so much about, and because of this, she is very much special from all 100-series. Not just that, but she holds the renowned research of one of the greatest researchers we know." The woman paused again as she crossed her arms.
" What about the data she holds?" Ziggy questioned as Dr. Lunas looked over to him. "We did some research on her memory base and what not. To say the least, the Y-Data is surprisingly, unharmed..."
" Unharmed?" Shion asked, slightly surprised. "Any type of data in dangerous situations would have lost at least some type of amount right?"
" True...but it's a different case with her, she has some type of protective wall surrounding this data, and we're not quite sure as how to crack it."
" What about her memory?" chaos joined in on the conversation.
" Some of her memory has been lost unfortunately. Examples such as human features mainly. The five senses, her own memory. She can hear things even in the state she's in...but her hearing has become sensitive, any loud noises could cause problems, so we must talk low when we are in here." Dr. Lunas said as she shot a glare at Jr., referring to his yelling earlier.
" I see..." Shion said.
" Her right ear is completely devoid of sound, we are currently trying to fix it, and her memory banks as well. We have some challenges to face though... The right side of her body has completely malfunctioned. It has come to my attention while analyzing her, she seems to not have been checked on, so her functions were wearing out for a period of time. ( NOTE: People, that green tube thing she was in before was NOT for check ups, just to heal her body, that's all!) She hadn't receive scans or anything, these things contributes to her malfunction. She seems to be in a tight spot as of now, but if we do the right adjustments and update anything that needs to be updated, I think she'll pull through, but it will take time..."
" You think?" Jr. cut in as everyone turned towards him. "What good does that do us to calm our nerves??" Jr. asked as the Doctor took off her glasses and walked over to the bed. She looked at MOMO before speaking.
" Young man...Gaignun Kukai Jr. correct?...I specialize in realian healing, but I still have some knowledge on human healing as well..." She paused as Dr. Lunas looked over to Jr.
" It's at times like these that injuries on any realian is very critical indeed. With the gnosis out and about, realians have been protecting us from falling to the ground dead. And to make matters worse for them, they are not given any rights. And ever since realians were stripped of some human rights, not many people in medicine train themselves to help them, therefore, realian care is limited. But I am one of the few who have took the challenge of studying realian technology and healing. I will do my best in helping her recover any types of functions and memories she has lost. Things take time, if anything were to be rushed, mistakes will happen, and there is no room for error. Especially on someone as fragile as her. So do yourself a favor to not question my abilities as a doctor." Dr. Lunas finished her small speech as chaos lifted an eyebrow.
A sudden silence set in as Jr. didn't retaliate. Satisfied, she then turned back and looked over to Ziggy and the others.
" I must ask though, do you have any type of extra information on her condition that I should be aware of? I am still questioning some procedures I would like to do on her. But before doing so, I feel that more information is needed."
" Here, this should help." Jr. mumbled as he held out the small black disk.
" What's this?" Dr. Lunas asked as she took the small object in her hand.
" Oh, it's a disk that has information on MOMO's condition, could I help...if it's ok with you?" Shion came in as the doctor smiled.
" Sure, we could use some help." Dr. Lunas smiled as the two walked over to the computer were another lab personal was sitting typing away. chaos was about to walk over to Jr., but thought against it. Jr. looked over at MOMO, placing his hands in hers gently. chaos smiled weakly at this and looked around the room. He wondered...
He walked over to where Shion stood and cleared his throat, causing the girl to turn around and look at him confusingly.
" What is it chaos?" She spoke in a low voice as chaos pointed over to where Jr. had been standing. Shion looked over at the scene for a few seconds until realizing what chaos was getting on too. She tapped the doctor's shoulder and whispered into her ear. The doctor narrowed her eyes at the suggestion and also looked over at Jr. She then looked back at Shion, smiled, and began walking up the stairs.
" KOS-MOS." Shion called over quietly as the blue haired girl obeyed. Ziggy followed suit as Shion signaled them to leave the room. Dr. Lunas snapped her fingers and motioned for her assistants to leave the room with her. Everyone walked out of the room quietly...
( Words in bold font are a poem...this POEM was written by ME!! Not sure if it is good or what...There's no rhyming in it...but I guess it could still be considered as a poem...)
Jr. was now left inside the room...
I am too caught up in your appearance...
The smell of your hair mimics the fragrance of blossoms
and your eyes the color of gold honey...
He hadn't seem to notice that everyone suddenly disappeared from the room...it was just him and the girl lying in front of him now...that's all that's seemed to matter...He looked over MOMO a few times and gazed at her face...
He felt he shouldn't be doing this...he didn't deserve to do this...hold her hand like this.
" MOMO..." He started as he stroked a bit of her hair.
I am too caught up in your image
Your laughter ringing out in the empty halls of where I walk
and that smile of yours that would shame the rays of the sun...
" What do you think of all this? I'm not sure if you heard...but there was a huge accident at the Contact Sub Committee bases...a lot of people died...and Ziggy saved you..." Jr. bowed his head downward.
" It's my fault isn't it?" He paused as he tightened his grip a little on her hand. " I...I did all of it..." He choked out a bit.
Before...I could have controlled it...but now...
" I killed all of those people because I couldn't control myself...I couldn't control these powers that I have...and because of it, innocent people got hurt, but Juli..." Jr. suddenly became mad.
I can't help the way I talk about you all the time...
" She got away with the rest of the members...those bastards! They let you feel pain! But then...I wasn't there to help stop it...I could have stopped it you know. I heard you crying every night...something told me it was you...but I didn't want to believe it! So I...ignored it...I should have done something!" Jr. bit out acidly, but not to loud...
Ever since we parted ways
The sight of you never leaves my mind...
Your voice haunts me in my sleep...
" And here you are, unconscious with only gods knowing if you'll make it...but I want you to make it so badly...I want to see you smile again, I want to see you laugh and be innocent like I used to remember. I want you all to myself...I want all your attention for myself!" Jr. explained feverently. After he fell silent, he widened his eyes at his words.
But that is what troubles me...
" No...I don't deserve any of it...I promised I would protect you from anything, but look were that promise has gotten me and you...I'm so sorry...I never wanted this to happen..." With that, Jr. stayed silent, letting the clicks and buzzing of the computers fill his ears...
Instead of the content whispers I'm so used to...
Silent cries are heard through the middle of the night,
And it seems I am the only one who can hear them...
Jr. closed his eyes and leaned in near MOMO. He paused a bit...but then planted a soft yet loving kiss on her cheek. As a few seconds have past, he pulled back and slowly let go of her hand. He didn't want to...but he had to...He turned his back to her and tightened his fists.
Are you hurt?
Are you in pain?
Is that even you I hear at night?
" I don't know if you heard anything I said...but...When you come around...and when I say I'm sorry, please...I don't wont you to forgive me...I just want you to know how foolish I was and still am..."
If it really is you...what am I doing here sitting about and not acting?
I should be there to protect you...
I should be there to ease whatever pain your going through...
But I'm not...
" Could you really return mutual feelings to a murderer?"
I would...I will give anything to run and hold you...and hurt whoever gave you pain first...
I will give anything...
Jr. then walked out of the room, slightly comforted by getting a few things off his chest. But the feeling he had felt would never leave him for a while...
Guilt...
To light your face with a smile again...
No comment...well, let's just say I am NOT very happy right now...Yea, I no, I said I'm usually mad when I write this cause it gets me going...but I'm just down right ticked off...Thanks for the corrections and reviews though...
