Chapter 3: Manhunt
The policemen rushed over to where they had though they heard a noise, and sure enough there was their target. "This is the guy, send in two backup squads immediately." There was a quick pause and a reply "rodger!" No.13 turned his head only to catch a glimpse of a rustling bush. He blinked and pointed to the bush, the bush that the two cops where hiding in exploded in a ball of flames instantly. The cops then jumped out and began firing their guns at the diclonious. No.13 waved a swift hand to the left and the bullets soon became ashes. Kouta and Yuka ran outside and saw two thin pointy tree branches sticking out of the cops chests. No.13 snapped his fingers and the Sakura leaves slashed the cops to bloody ribbons. Yuka let out a scream, but Kouta silenced her by cupping her mouth shut. No.13 began walking towards the house but was knocked down by a soldier. "Click!" the barrel of the soldiers gun was alligned perfectly with No.13's head. Professor Hattori and another person, or rather diclonious arrived at the scene. Kouta couldn't believe his eyes, the diclonious who had came with Professor Hattori was Lucy! "N-nyuu...?" Lucy jumped down infront of Kouta and said quietly "get out of here" No.13 snapped the soldiers neck with a mere glance before making his way towards Lucy. Lucy had a special ability, she had four ghostly arms inside her that could kill just about anyone. "Heh, clever Hattori-San, to bring a failed science project to fight me." Lucy quickly evaded No.13's fire attacks and got behind her opponent. "Hm!" No.13 snapped his head back but ws cut by Lucys attack "damn!" No.13 skidded back then shot some more flames at Lucy, the femal diclonious. She repelled them with ease, her four ghostly arms reached out and wrapped themselves around No.13 "What the hell are these things! ha! no matter..." he snickered "they are powerless against my hellfire." Flames shot up from the ground and when they went back down No.1 vanished. Lucy looked around wildly, No.13 then appeared behind her. "Hello Lucy-Chan" he whispered. "!" Lucy turned to punch No.13 but he vanished into fire again. "Nyuu-Chan...be careful" Kouta whispered to himself. I knew it, he is still in love with her. Yuka thought to herself. No.13 dove through another "portal of fire", this time Lucy was preapared. "Hunh?" Sllllshh! I gash opened wide on No.13's chest and almost cut off his arm. The female diclonious speared her hand through No.13s gut then finished him off by kicking him into the ground. "Gakk!" when No.13 hit the ground he coughed up blood, Lucy then felt the urge to kill him. "Enough! we're taking him back to the lab for some treatment." Professor Hattori motioned for the guards to come and lock up the diclonious in a coffin like machine and but him in the helicopter. Lucy walked over to Kouta, "N-nyuu...is that really you, but I thought--" he was cut short when Lucy kissed him softly on the lips then replied "I'll come back again Kouta-Kun, don't worry." With that Lucy left with Professor Hattori and they took off in the helicopter. "All right time to get some sleep, we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow!" Yuka was always jealous of Kouta nd Lucy/Nyuus realationship. Kouta nodded and went back inside with Yuka. That night all Kouta could think about was the next time he could see Nyuu/Lucy. "Come back soon..." he whispered and then drifted deep asleep.
