Disclaimer; I don't own Acceleracers; I would give it to Goddess if I did.

Okay, to people who might be wondering, she fell back into coma yesterday after hyperventilating.

Luna: He was an Assassin. Yes, I don't know where that came form… just a thought to deepen the plot. I'm glad you like him better though it's a goal. What made you not like him before? And for the review for Keep: In all honesty, I have no idea where I get my ideas, they just pop in. Do you think I described Karma kind of OOC? Yes, goddess is my sister, we're twins. She just fell in a coma and I haven't been updating fast enough. But if you like Nolo, here's a story from her you might like its Road Trip. Yeah, I'm a camera fanatic too, especially nice top views…

Ch.8 Horrible Things

"He's my father" The boy said, and then began to breath in quick short breaths. " Ko? You okay man?" His team leader asked him, instantly by his side. Nolo held up Shirako's face by the left side of his face. "Ko…"

"I'm sorry… don't hate me… please…" He fell back into unconsciousness.

"Ko…" All the Teku whispered.

Instant tears welled up in Karma's azure orbs. "Ko… hate you? We never could…" She held him close and whispered. " Tezla"

"Yes, Karma?" The elder scientist asked.

"Do you know why he got it?" Still whispers.

"Karma, we have every clean gene indicating that he was born with a perfect immune system and perfect genes… he's got everything, like someone did something to his genes… so the only way to know why he's like this… there is a way to know"

"What?"

"Well, there is this age-old theory that cancer comes from UV rays and radiation of such…" The genius scientist paused, "And the only way to see if he got it that way is to go into his mind and see what happened in the past few weeks… or months were he got that much radiation into his genes."

"But how? Go through every day of the past year to see when? Is that even possible?"

"Actually, if my computer is right, then in the last two months, there are two days when concentrated radiation hit him, and to the third question yes, with new technology, it is."

"Lets start then" Nolo softly said, fingering younger boy's hair, which was actually loosely falling on his face as Lani had washed it. "Okay Karma?"

"Yeah…"

"Okay, everyone, sit down, here are the two days where he was hit" Tezla lead them to a room with a large T.V. and a bunch of couches.

Dr.Tezla hit play.

Flashback

The jounin ninja/samurai faced Kakashi and bowed in greeting. "Konichiva, Kakashi- san"

"It's Hitokiri Battosai, Takamoto-"

"Baka, don't insult me Kakashi, it isn't too safe for you"

"Look at the Sakabato, you expect to win with a sword that's made with its sharp edge facing yourself?"

"I refuse to take another life, Yarou"

"You…" Kakashi started to attack with his double edge sword but Shirako caught his elbow and through him sideways, then kicked him using nin-jutsu and sent him flying through the air.

All that happened in less than 7 seconds.

"Your father told me, " Kakashi gasped out, "That you have changed… "

"Yes, I have, "

"Well, baka, I hope you've become stronger, because I have."

"Oh really? I didn't notice" Shirako mercilessly attacked, sideways, using Jinjutsu and fusing his Chakra into his Sakabato. What he didn't expect was a voice he heard…

"Ko…"

Shirako froze. "Shizuka…"

But it wasn't her… she wasn't nine years old right now… she was at least 20… so why did she look so little?

"Big mistake little brother"

The next thing he remembered was waking up in a glass chamber that was quickly filling up with a very foggy looking gas.

"It's been sometime… son"

Shirako looked around quickly and saw someone he never expected to ever again…

"Mother…"

"In a way… but not really," said the man behind her.

"Father." The coldness in his voice was not hidden.

"Yes, let me tell you about the gas that is filling up that chamber, it's actually a very carcinogenic mixture believed to cause brain cancer… You may have found out my plan but it won't stop me if you die"

End Flashback

Dr. Tezla turned the T.V. off… "I believe that's enough…"

"Why?" Nolo asked.

"Why what?" Tezla's right eyebrow twitched.

"Why would Shizu… no… it wasn't her…" Nolo gazed at Karma. "It wasn't her, right Karma?"

"Nolo…"

"Karma, tell me it wasn't her"

"It was her" Said a voice behind him. It was Shirako, standing there, hands on the wall keeping him from falling.

"Oh Kami it was her."
