Chapter 12

The

The halls were buzzing with people walking back and forth, finishing off last minute errands. A few group of people on a certain floor hadn't noticed that the elevator doors opened. Walking out of the small room, an elderly looking man made his way to a certain part of the building...if it could be called that, considering this certain place was in outer space.

Fifth Jerusalem...the main base of the Contact Sub-Committee...

Two guards saluted the coming man, who simply nodded his head before entering the room. Another elevator he was in. He quietly waited for the elevator to reach it's destination. After a few short moments, he appeared in an circle shaped room. The elevator was placed in the middle of this circular conference room, causing everyone's attention to turn to the center. Gigantic windows made up for walls, as it showed the out reaches of space and beyond.

"Now that you're here, we may finally start." A familiar voice spoke as the elderly man nodded and headed towards his seat. This familiar voice belonged to a woman...

Who was none other than Juli Mizhari...

She began to type in a few codes on her holographic key board, and in a matter of seconds, a screen appeared in the middle of the room, getting everyone's full attention. It seemed to be profiles of some sort. Juli stood up from her seat and waved her hand in the air a bit before speaking.

"These are the culprits for stealing the 100-series prototype." Juli began, as the faces of Shion, chaos, and Jr. appeared. Everyone became silent as Juli continued. "We all saw it for ourselves, we are witnesses to what has happened at our facilities. A search has gone under way..."

"Yes...but isn't that supposed to be dealt with by the Federation?" A man spoke, his voice sounding scratchy, like nails on a chalkboard.

"We will hand them over to the authorities once we're done with them. The Federation does not know who was scheming with who really. As far as anyone knows, we are the only one's tracking the true traitors down." Juli speech raised a few whispers around the room. She hadn't told the Federation who had done it, just dumbly said she had know clue. She had to keep her profile low. The other members of the Sub-Committee, were in fact, pawns in her plan.

They had know clue what Juli had done in those labs underneath the now half demolished building. Everyone had their secrets right? She had been testing and analyzing realians for awhile now...and they we're too foolish to see through her plan. Without the rest of the members knowing, she had sent out a couple of her own officials to do her dirty work of finding the trouble makers. One of the women, who we're sitting down, raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? Why have they not been reported then? Why must it be so secret?" The woman questioned as Juli turned to face her.

"A very good question. You see, they contain secret documented information that could bring this cooperation down. Obviously, if we tell, they'll show the disk and sell this information to the highest bidder and make a profit. These bidders could make there own 100-series or blackmail us." More whispers were heard throughout the room. Of course, Juli was making all that up. But the fact of a disk being stolen was true...she must get that disk back...

"Outrageous! How dare they try to use as a tools!" One member yelled as Juli crossed her arms.

"To put it in a better way, I'm the one using the tools here..."

"This is ridiculous, we cannot allow such matters to be left the way they are, considering were dealing with a lot of pressure from the Federation and Board of Representatives!" Another women waved her hand a bit in the air before settling it back on her lap.

"Indeed, we will find them. With certain clues we have, we'll find them in no time." Juli clicked a small button in her hands as the screen changed, showing two other pictures.

"Jin Uzuki and Gaignun Kukai?" Another member questioned as Juli nodded.

"Yes, it seems Shion Uzuki from Vector Industries, has a brother. We have been investigating him and says that he knows nothing. But I find it suspicious anyway. Our officials will keep a close eye on that young man."

"And Kukai Jr.? Does the Kukai Foundation know anything of this?"

"Possibly, after all, they're keeping Mary Godwin away from reporters. She must have been in on their little plan...she knows something, and she's not telling the court the whole truth. Why do you think the Kukai Foundation is being questioned? Along with the Miltian Government?"

"You see! I knew we couldn't trust those two! The Woglinde incident was enough trouble."

"Yes, but why would they want to place more suspicion on themselves then they already have? That does not make any sense."

"Maybe they were working together? A secret leader behind it all."

"I highly doubt." Juli intervened on the conversation. "Maybe they both have ulterior motives that we're not aware off. Maybe they wanted it to happen this way, there's always possibilities."

"I must ask, who was the silver haired male there?"

"That information, curiously, we cannot find. There hasn't been a matching profile of the boy. His name seems to be chaos."

"chaos? Heh, must be a code name."

"It's like he doesn't exist." The elderly man concluded as Juli switched the screen to another picture.

"Is that...a realian?" The woman asked, squinting at the picture.

"Indeed she is. As of now, she is the main evidence against the Kukai Foundation that they did plot to steal the 100-series prototype. This realian is one of the models that the Kukai Foundation itself uses. She was giving the name Mizu. She was in on the plot, disguising herself with a stealth device so she could disable our cameras. We have collected her body and now she remains in our custody. She seemed to be injured during the incident that occurred...but she could be of use to us..."

"Speaking of the incident..." Everyone fell silent again. "Has anyone...anyone found out who had done such a horrendous act against our employees?"

"Unfortunately, no...I myself I'm quiet puzzled as to how it had occurred. Looking at the facts, It could have possible been the little invaders, or maybe others..."

"But?"

"No explosives or anything of the sort was found, it's like the explosion happened in mid air." Juli stood in a thinking position. It troubled her greatly to have lost many people, and it ticked her of that it couldn't have been Jr. and the others, seeing how they only stayed a short time...

"Where had the explosion occurred?"

"Well, from what we know, the main location was in the 100-series sleeping quarters...but we hadn't found much evidence of devices in use...just a blood trail that led from the lab to her room." Juli concluded.

She would have everything in the palm of her hand soon...she hated those realians, she hated the prototype, but most of all, she hated her husband for making them.

Oh...how each and every one of them looked like her Sakura, Juli was living in a repeating nightmare...

It had been a couple of hours of waiting...and waiting...and waiting...

Jr. wanted to rip his hair out, he was struck with worry. Him and chaos both sat outside of the lab, waiting for the procedures to be done...all he wanted was for her to be ok..

chaos had seated himself across from the red-head, his eyes drifting from time to time. He didn't want Jr. to stay here alone, suffering from the pain and worry by himself. So he had decided to accompany him. chaos glanced over at Jr., seeing as how the boy had his hands gnawing at his hair. chaos tried not to laugh, seeing as what situation he was in.

"Jr., be calm ok? We have to be patient."

"For what? Another 40,000 hours??" Jr. replied sarcastically as chaos tilted his head.

"You really need to take your mind off of things, where's that little book you were writing in earlier?"

"Left it In my room..."

"Want me-"

"No! I'm...fine..." Jr. seemed a bit nervous, chaos thought. "Don't worry about me."

"Your a little late there." chaos smiled as Jr. glared at him. It seemed everyone was late with certain comments. After a few moments of silence, Jr. had been contemplating on what he was about to say...if he should say it...giving it no more thought, he guessed chaos was right. He couldn't sit here not do nothing...it was driving him crazy.

"chaos?"

"Hmm?" chaos looked over at Jr., surprised by the tone in his voice. A tad bit shy are we? About what?

"Have you...ever..." Jr. paused. "liked someone...beyond friendship maybe?"

"You are asking me this? Interesting, you seemed to be an expert in that field, seeing as how you give tips to Allen every now and then..."

"Just answer the damn question!" Jr. snapped as chaos chuckled. As he settled down, he began to think of an answer...

KOS-MOS at the moment popped into his head, and chaos narrowed his eyes.

Now that he wasn't going to tell anyone, not just yet anyway. He himself wasn't sure what he felt for KOS-MOS...but he did care for her. Him falling for an android...? chaos shook his head. No...she was human somewhere, he couldn't consider her to be just an android, that would be accepting only one part of her...and he wanted to see everything.

One part wasn't enough...

"chaos?"

"Why do you ask such a question?" chaos automatically replied as he was snapped out of his thoughts.

"chaos..." Jr. spoke in a warning tone.

"Maybe..."

"Just maybe? That doesn't help me..."

"Why wouldn't it help you?"

"Because it wasn't the answer I was looking for." Jr. said, becoming annoyed.

"Then what answer were you looking for?"

"I'm...not sure..."

"And why aren't you sure?"

"Stop asking my questions with MORE questions dammit!"

"But then what was the point of you asking the first question and excepting me to reply a certain way, it only caused you to become more irritated. So wouldn't it be better to skip the question and stop trying to get one out of me when I can't supply you with one?"

"You know what? SCREW YOU." Jr. turned his head the other way and shifted in his seat as chaos smiled victoriously. At least he avoided going into that topic...

They both sat quietly...patiently...well, at least one of them did...

Jr. was about getting to the point of developing a habit of biting his fingers off.

chaos seem to be dozing off...or maybe having his thoughts clouded by a certain someone?

Swoosh...

chaos and Jr. quickly stood up from their seats as they saw Shion wipe her forehead with one hand and the other placed on her hip. They both jogged up to her and starred, waiting for the news. Jr.'s mind raced on what could have gone on in the lab room. Shion fixed her skirt and looked at the male's starring back at her.

"Well..." Jr. trailed off, his face expressing confusion and anxiety.

Shion then pulled off a thinking pose.

"Well, we didn't seem to have too many problems...it was such a long process. We inserted and updated new data for her. All in all, it seemed to go well."

"Can I go see her??" Jr. said rather quickly as Shion frowned.

"I'm sorry Jr., she can't be disturbed. Dr. Lunas is with her finishing off the checkup. We're not sure when she'll wake up...or even if she will. Hopefully, will find out in a few days. Until then, we do not know if the operation was successful or not. So sit tight ok Jr.? chaos?" Shion explained as Jr. sighed and frowned. He really wanted for her to be ok...

Shion noticed the sudden change in emotions and placed a hand on his shoulder. Jr. looked up to see Shion smiling down at him. "Hope for the best Jr., there's not much we can do but wait...in the mean time..." Shion took out her hand held computer to check on the time and her eyes widened.

"My god, it's already two in the morning. Did the two of you wait here since the beginning?" Shion asked as they both tiredly nodded. "That's nice of you both. So supportive... Well, I'm going to grab a quick bite at the eatery and head for bed. A suggest you do the same. It's all up to her now. Good night you two." Shion waved off and walked away, leaving Jr. to slunk back to his seat and have chaos follow.

"Jr., let's head for bed now, she's right, there's nothing more we can do here."

"...Do you think she'll be ok?" Jr. asked sadly as chaos's eyes softened.

"Come on...think positive. Don't let negative thoughts pull you down ok? Let's go." chaos waited a few moments for Jr. to respond, who seemed to be contemplating on what to do next. He finally stood up and the two began to walk back to their room's, where they eagerly wanted to sleep...

It sounded...soft...

Loving...

Twitch...

It's melody filling the empty halls with sound...

Twitch...twitch...

Where was it coming from...?

An eyebrow lifting elegantly...reacting to the rhythm...

How sad the tone sounded...

A melody of heartbreak? Of pain?

Hands moving slightly...

Hearing sense had seemed to improve...

It seemed to be a sleeping hour...

Who could be up?

Making such lovely...but painful...music?

Five days later...

After hearing the news of the pink haired girl's operation, everyone had grown silent. As holding their breathes, waiting for some movement to be heard in the lab room. But of course...there was none. At the moment, it seemed to be midnight...

chaos was asleep in his room, peacefully content with himself...although...he did hear Jr. leave a few minutes ago. chaos also wondered where Jr. would go at this time of night. Maybe to think? To have time to himself? The reason was unknown to him. So he kept himself quiet, knowing Jr. wouldn't realize he was up. Although, when Jr. left...a few minutes later...

It would be very faint...

But chaos could here it...a melody...

' Gaignun...?'

No response...

Maybe he was asleep?

' Gaignun? Can you here me?' Jr. called again, hoping the U.R.T.V. had not gone to bed already...

' Jr.?' Gaignun finally answered as red headed male gave off a sigh of relief.

' Good, your awake...'

' Is there something the matter?' Gaignun questioned, concern filling his voice...

Jr. couldn't sleep the past two nights, so he decided to stay up awhile...and write in his little book. He hadn't done some work in it for a while. He sat himself in the game room. He felt comfortable here...seeing as how the game room was near the lab...

The lights were out, but in here, a glow light lit the room dimly, offering Jr. some guide around the place. Gaignun, on the other hand, had indeed been up. He was about to head for bed until Jr., surprisingly, called him. Gaignun seemed quite content that Jr. took his offer in talking to someone.

' Jr.?' Gaignun repeated, sitting himself down on his swivel chair, starring out into space.

' Sorry for bugging you, but I really feel I should talk to someone...' Jr. wasn't used to being all soft. But at the time, he couldn't care less. His thoughts had been occupied by...her...

' No need for apologies Jr., after all, I did make the invitation, correct?' Gaignun questioned as Jr. nodded to himself instead of replying. After a few minutes of silence, Gaignun began to talk.

' Couldn't sleep?'

' No...it's just...'

' I know. Since we're on the subject, how is she doing?'

' She had an operation a few days ago that could determine if she'll be ok...or...not...She's still unconscious...' Jr. frowned at his words...

' Hmm, she seems to have a strong spirit, I think she'll pull through...do they know when she'll wake up or...?'

' No...they don't even know if the damned operation was a success or not...you would think that with our advanced science, we could have answered most of the questions and figure out ways to cure people with out having others thinking "does it?' or "what ifs..." It annoys me...'

' Yes Jr...but all questions will be answered in time...even a cure for the common cold.' Gaignun chuckled as Jr. rolled his eyes. He opened his small book and took the pencil in his hand.

' Are you occupied with something?' Gaignun had begun sensing a few emotions coming out of the blue.

' Just writing...helps me clear my head or...something.'

' Ah...that little book of yours I presume?'

' Gotta problem?'

' Not at all, you know, sometime you should play for me and the girls. You might not think it Jr., but your very good at it.'

' Is that a comment, or are you being sarcastic?'

' You know I didn't mean to offend you, so don't snap at me.' Gaignun sighed. ' But on the other hand, this wasn't what you wanted to talk about.'

' No, it wasn't...'

' Well...?'

' I have so many doubts...so many thoughts...I want her to wake up...to tell her that I'm sorry...'

' For what?'

' Everything...I didn't protect her when I should have...I broke our promise...'

' Jr., it isn't your fault, things happen...'

' How many times will people say that?! Things happen! That shit happens because fools like us make it happen! Events don't occur by themselves, we trigger them.' Jr. snapped at Gaignun.

' Yes Jr. that is true...but you are not the one who has started the chain...so stop blaming yourself and be mature about this situation.' Gaignun spoke calmly.

' I am being mature.'

' No you are not. If the Kukai Foundation blew up, would that be your fault too? Everything that is linked with your future and past, everything that has occurred, was it your fault also? Is my information wrong when evidence blames it on some else? When accusing fingers point to a certain person because they admit it was themselves who did it? Jr., stop putting yourself through torture, it's bad for your health.' Gaignun spoke as Jr. stopped writing...

' But I...I hurt all of those people at the base...I didn't even know what happened...it's defiantly my fault for that...I couldn't control my powers...I couldn't control my fear...Everyone should just turn me in so I should get the punishment I deserve...all those people didn't deserve to die...'

' Jr...' Gaignun spoke softly, trying to comfort the boy. ' I can't completely imagine what you are going through...but I do know this...We or anyone else will not hand you over to the Contact Sub-Committee as a gift. They have done wrong themselves. Together we will bring Juli Mizhari down. She will get better Jr... Instincts I guess? It might take awhile, but everything will get better...'

Jr. took a deep breath in, absorbing Gaignun's words. Jr. opened his eyes and scanned the notes in his book.

' Gaignun...when she does wake up...I'm going to apologize to her...'

' Sounds like a plan.'

' And I don't want her to forgive me.'

' Why?' Gaignun became suddenly confused.

' Because I don't deserve her...seeing her is enough for me...'

' Jr...'

' Goodnight Gaignun.'

' He-'

' Good-night.' With that, Jr. broke from Gaignun's telepathy and sat up straight in his seat. He checked over his notes one more time, trying to remember the information well. He set the book down on the small table and went to pick up the weird shaped case that had been sitting on the floor. ( You see...the weird shaped case is back!!)

The book was left open...inside, different types of notes could be seen. On the top of the page...

The words "Moonlit Serenade" was written elegantly...

He sat it in his lap, and after a few moments, unlocked and opened it.

He picked up the object that had been inside the case, and he felt it's wooden surface...

He positioned the violin on his shoulder and picked up the bow...

And began to play softly...

( Ok, this next part might be confusing to some...so at the end of this chapter...I gave a smalllllllllllll explanation...ok...back to story!! .)

It sounded...soft...

Loving...

A different tune from the two nights before...

But they all carried the same message...

Forgiveness...

His eyes closed slowly, beginning to be entranced in his own music...his own little world...a place where he could find peace...

It sounded...soft...

Every noise was drowned out while he played...The beautifully polished violin on his shoulder as he stroked the strings of the instrument with his bow brilliantly...

How everyone would have been dumb-founded if they knew he could play the violin. The look on their faces would be defiantly priceless...

How bossy he looked on the outside...yet felt so fragile on the inside...

Twitch...twitch...

An eyebrow lifting slowly...responding to the music...

Hands moving at their on accord...as if they were playing such a piece of performing art...

He then stood up while playing...forgetting all his issues for the moment. He was feeling better already...

Those legs suddenly moving, bending until they could not bend further...

Those eyes opened...looking around weakly...

The music moved it's pace faster, it's sounds echoing in the empty halls of the night...but never would it stop sending the message...

Forgiveness...

He then leaned against the pool table...letting his music fill his ears...

Leaning forward...pain in every part of the body...

Confusion...?

Forgiveness...

Unrelenting pain...

Feet hitting the floor...walking somewhere...

He walked around while playing...never forgetting his message...

Pain...begin to walk slowly...the pain is still there...but at least it had subsided a bit...

Being so absorbed in the music...he forgot as to where he was...

Swoosh...twitch...

Twitch...twicth...

The melody filled the empty halls...letting it be a guide...

Yes...guide...it...somewhere...let the music guide me somewhere...

So dark...yet...

The music is so comforting...

Let it guide me...

He sat on the table...his back facing the entrance...

Closer...so close...

I've heard the message somewhere...just like the two nights before...

What is the message? I know it's there...what is it telling me?

Twitch...

Twitch...

Coming closer...

Tired...feeling weak...

I feel careless...nothing matters while I'm here...in my own world...

It happened so suddenly...

Tap...tap...tap...

"Where am I?."

"Who's there!?"

"Huh?" Jr. turned around and quickly went over to click the lights on. What greeted him at the game room's entrance...terribly shocked him to pieces...

"J...J...J..." Repeating the same letter...It was so hard to speak...

"Jr.?"

His eyes grew completely wide.

"MOMO!?"

HAHA!! Cliffy baby!!! Damn I'm good! You all were probably confused as to what was going on...but I'll explain in the next chapter...if anyone ASK'S me too. The scene before that was similar to the scene when they finally meet was this...The same day MOMO had finished an operation, Jr...around night, played music and MOMO reacted a little bit because of her sensitive hearing. Anyway...the words in regular font were what Jr. was going through and the words in Italics was what MOMO was going through. "Where am I?"was MOMO and " Who's there!?" was Jr. cause he heard tapping noise coming very close to him. Get it? Ok!!! Hope you all enjoyed this chapter!! R&R!!!
