A/N: Hi everyone! This is my very first fanfic, so I'd appreciate if you read this and leave some comments and criticisms so that I can improve with my writing. I'm sorry if there are many other fanfics that are like this, but I tried to make mine a bit original. My own character, Akari, may be a bit based off of Kira from MARS a little bit, if anyone knows what that is. The characters may be a little OOC. Also, Enzan is older now (being fifteen), and the rest of the Rockman characters are either fourteen, or in their late fourteen's, meaning they are going to turn fifteen soon. Please proceed, if you please, but I must warn that there may be cheesiness! (XD) Thank you!

Disclaimer: I do not own Rockman.EXE and/or Megaman. They are owned by CAPCOM. I do not own MARS either. Both belong to their respective owners. I only own Akari and Multi.EXE, along with any future OCs, along with this fanfic.

Can't Lose You

By: Yian-San

Enzan ran his hand through his white-and-black hair. I know what you're thinking - what a weird color of hair for a kid! Yeah, I know. It's his natural color, believe it or not. Besides, he is fifteen, and does not act like a "kid" anymore. Heck, he is probably the most serious and determined teen in the world. Well, what would you expect from the vice president of a huge, multi-billion dollar company? Heh, bet you didn't see that coming.

Yes, Enzan Ijuuin is the Vice President of IPC Corporations. His father being the CEO, of course. Now, you're probably wondering why the heck Enzan, a fifteen-year-old boy, would be vice president of such a huge company. Well, what you didn't know is that he is brilliant; he has quite an impressive record. He created and programmed his very own net-navi (Net Navigator), Blues, which is said to be the most powerful navi in the world; he is nicknamed the "Prodigy Netbattler," which, of course, refers to his amazing record of at least five hundred undefeated netbattles; he is an official netbattler, and a qualified member of the NetPolice, so he is a Net-Savior. There, you convinced yet? I thought so.

Well, back to reality. Enzan ran his fingers through his hair, frustrated. He stared at his computer screen blankly. He had worked for pretty much the entire day. He sighed.There was so much work piled up on him, such as the programs for new PETs, hundreds of contracts to sign, thousands of orders for customized PETs, advanced calculations for new technology that he had to do himself, and on top of everything, he had a brand new mission from the NetPolice.

Enzan slumped into his leather armchair. He brought up his hand and rubbed his eyes wearily. His navi peered out at him from within a digital device, the PET, that was situated on the teen's desk.

"Enzan-sama... are you all right? Shall I send for some water?" Blues asked, in his usual flat tone.

"No, I'm all right, Blues. I'm just... rather stressed out. IPC has never had so much work before. Why don't we just call it a day... and head home?" Enzan replied, reaching up to save his work and log off the computer. He took his PET from its charger and walked up to his door, locking it with a small, elegant key as he walked out. Just before he reached the large, glass exit doors he turned to the right and walked into the secretaries' office.

There, he talked to the main secretary and told her that he was taking off. At first, the secretary looked at him like he was crazy, since it was only 5:30, and he had a tendency to work late into the night the past few weeks. But then, she saw a glaze of fatigue cross his eyes. She immediately alerted his father, then stood up and bowed, telling him to have a good night. The other secretaries instantly followed suit and stood up as well, bowing.

Enzan sighed, and then left the large office. He finally walked out of the huge corporation and, strangely enough, headed toward the park.

"...Enzan-sama, are you not supposed to go home?" Blues asked. Blues knew not to inquire the teen prodigy too often. The teen got annoyed rather easily.

"Yeah, I know... but I thought some fresh air in the park would do me some good." Enzan said. Blues became quiet again. He did not want to disrupt his Operator's peace of mind. Enzan walked through the tree-lined avenues, breathing in the rich aromas of the new blossoms sprouting on the cherry trees. He stopped and watched some little kids playing around on a playground. After a while, Enzan continued walking, noting the nice weather as he went. He smiled slightly. It was as though a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

Off in the corner, he suddenly spotted a girl hunched over something. Enzan narrowed his eyes, which Blues noticed.

"...What's wrong, Enzan-sama?" he asked quietly.

"Nothing really. I'm just wondering what that girl is up to..." Enzan answered.

"Yes, sir."

"Hmm…"

Enzan walked over to the girl. She didn't seem to notice him. She looked as if she was very busy doing whatever it was. Enzan was still about a yard away, but he could see what she was doing, and frankly, he was rather amazed at what he saw.

She had been drawing the little children that were playing. Using a small stick of charcoal, she had sketched out the children's bodies and was carefully shading in details. He was amazed by how realistic it was, since she seemed only about his age.

"That drawing is... really good…" Enzan said quietly, before he could stop himself. The girl immediately looked up, apparently very surprised. When she saw him, she hurriedly began to put her things back into her bag.

Enzan's eyebrows came together in confusion. "Hey, wait…" he tried, but she had already pushed her way past him. In her haste to get away, her PET had slid across the bench and fell next to it quite heavily. As a result, the screen cracked. When Enzan heard a small cry emit from the PET, he picked up the PET and looked into the screen. The navi inside looked hurt. He turned around and ran after the girl.

"Hey-- miss, please wait!" he shouted after her. The girl was far ahead. "Blues, I want you to check over the navi... scan over the entire body, and repair anything that you can." Enzan said urgently.

"I'm on it." came the short reply.

Enzan was getting closer to the girl. Finally, he managed to grab the girl's arm. "Please miss, your PET..." he said breathlessly. She looked at the PET, and immediately grabbed it out of his hand.

"Multi...! Multi, are you okay? What's wrong?" the girl asked, her voice trembling slightly. She looked up at Enzan hesitantly and asked in a quiet voice, "What's... what's happening? W-why is there another navi there...?"

"Don't worry, that navi is mine. His name is Blues, and I sent him into your PET to check over your navi. Blues will transport your navi to IPC headquarters, and I'll look over it further there." Enzan said. The girl's eyes dropped down to her PET to see that Blues and Multi were gone.

"Well, we should get to IPC. Blues is waiting for me." Enzan said. The girl stayed quiet. She followed him to IPC without saying anything else.

"Well, your navi seems okay. I checked it over and nothing too serious happened. I just had to repair a little bit of its data." Enzan said, scanning his computer screen. "Right now, it's just in sleep mode." The girl looked down at her hands and shifted uncomfortably. Enzan looked at her.

"I'm sorry, I... didn't introduce myself. My name is Enzan Ijuuin. Who might you be?" he asked.

"… Akari. Akari Chang." the girl said quietly.

"Akari Chang? That's an interesting name. It's different from other Japanese names I've heard."

"That's... that's because it's not entirely Japanese. My parents and relatives come from Taiwan, so my last name is Chinese..." Akari trailed off.

"Hmm… that's interesting." Enzan said. "Well, I'm not sure if you know me or not, but you've probably heard of IPC."

"...No, I've heard of you. You are one of the Official Netbattlers... aren't you...?" Akari looked up. She had heard a small sound come from Enzan's monitor. Enzan noticed as well.

"Hey, your navi is awake. I'll download it to your PET now." Akari took out her PET. Inside was her navi, Multi.

"Oh... thank goodness you're okay. I was so worried about you," Akari stated, looking into the PET with a relieved expression. "...I'm so sorry, Multi. I shouldn't have been so careless. I'm so sorry…" she whispered. She started to cry softly. A tear fell on the PET.

"Akari, please... please don't cry. I'm fine, really! Oh... don't cry... it doesn't fit you." Multi said gently. Akari smiled and hugged the PET to her chest. "Thank you Multi. I don't know what I'd do without you…"

Enzan looked at the both of them. They seemed to have a really strong bond. He turned towards his own PET.

"Good work, Blues. It's a good thing you were able to transport her navi so quickly." he said.

"Of course, Enzan-sama. Thank you, sir." Blues replied.

Akari had stood up, inserting her PET into a compartment on her bag. She extended her hand towards Enzan shyly, looking down. "Th-thank you so much, sir. I... don't know what I would have done... had you not been there. Multi... Multi would probably still be at the park bench," she said, a slight smile on her face.

Enzan took her hand. "You're welcome, but really, it was my navi that did mostly everything. Also, you don't need to call me 'sir'. I get 'sir' too much at work already anyways." he added.

Akari nodded her head a bit. "W-well, thank you both very much..." she said, heading towards the door. Enzan stood up and walked towards her.

"Wait, before you go... I'd like you to answer something."

She turned around and looked at him. "Y-yes...?"

Enzan asked, "Well, first of all, that drawing of the children was really impressive. Where did you learn how to draw so well?"

Akari looked aside in embarrassment. "...Thank you, but... I think I still have much more to learn. I... really didn't take lessons or anything. I sort of just learned with other people. A-and... um..." she started, but then cut herself off. She shook her head slightly. "...N-never mind..."

"Hn... well, you're doing a very nice job. I'd like to see your work sometime." he said. She smiled timidly, nodding, her gaze still fixed on the ground. A moment of awkward silence passed, and she slowly started backing out again.

"Be... careful going back home," he added, seeing that she was near the door. She nodded her head, and turned the knob, exiting quietly. Enzan stood there for a while, pondering all the events that had happened that afternoon.

"Well, this was quite an afternoon... Wasn't it, Blues?" he asked.

"Yes, sir... more than we bargained for." Blues replied in his usual tone. "Enzan-sama, I... have to say something." Blues said suddenly.

"What is it, Blues?"

"Well, when I was scanning her navi, Multi, I discovered something quite unusual. The navi had a great amount of power stored inside of her. The data was different from normal navis somehow. It was more like… there were multiple beings in her, in some way. Also, when I tried to restore some things that had been damaged, all of a sudden it was healed." Blues said.

"...That is really different…" Enzan said, brows coming together as he thought. "I don't think I've ever heard of a navi like that... much less one that acts like that…"

Akari walked down the large hallways of the IPC building. She had her PET in front of her. Inside it, Multi was talking with Akari quietly. "…And then when I figured I was hurt pretty badly, I immediately used Heal on myself."

"But... wasn't a lot of your data damaged? I don't think you could've restored that much on your own, regardless of how strong you might be..." Akari stated.

"You're right. I couldn't restore that much, although I managed to restore a lot of it. That's when the navi, Blues, started to scan me. He went through my data, restoring a little of it that he could, but not much since I got to it faster than he did." Multi grinned. "That's why I was so exhausted afterwards. I was trying to restore my data as fast as I could, and I got so tired that I automatically slipped into sleep mode."

"Well... I'm proud of you. I'm sure that you will be stronger now, so that we'll be ready for anything." Akari said, smiling a bit. Her voice dropped. "I'm glad that you're safe and okay now. I promise you that I'll never let anything happen to you again..." she said softly.

Multi smiled. It was just like her operator to care so much. That was one of Akari's many good points. "And I promise that I won't ever let anything happen to you either, Akari. If anyone is going to get you, they have to go through me first!" Multi said energetically, pumping a fist into the air for emphasis. Akari smiled back.

"Thank you so much Multi. You're... such a great navi…"

They exited the corporation, a feeling of warmth and compassion flowing through them.

End chapter...
A/N: Um, well, sorry for the weird chapter. I know it was a little choppy, and not very smooth flowing, and I apologize. I'm also sorry for the lack of action, but I'm sure there will be more action in later chapters. And like I said before, I think Enzan was a little different from his usual personality, but you'll find out why later (sort of). I've already typed up the next couple chapters, but I'd like to know what you all think of this before I post them. If you guys have any ideas, I'd be glad to hear them too, although I might not use them. So please review, and tell me what you think, along with any criticisms/comments. Thanks!
