Chapter three – Family part two
"A son? What do you mean?" was Hideki's response after a minute of silence. Chitose sat down, and picked up her tea. "Before the Chobits project, we did an experiment with another persicom. We named him Takumi, after the sea of emotions that lay open to us. We wrote our first set of emotional subroutines for him, but it backfired. The code was to complex, and his power to small. It all went well, but once in a while he would have an extreme outburst of emotions. We couldn't fix it, so we decided to deactivate him."
There fell un uneasy silence. Hideki didn't know what to think of it. Was this a reasonable choice they made, or was it murder? It was a dark secret indeed. "That must have hurt" he said softly. Chitose swallowed. The tea did not do much for her through. "There's more."
"He send me an e-mail last night." Now, Hideki was really confused. Not only on why she was telling him this, but now a dead persicom send her an e-mail? "He was somehow turned back on. I don't know how or why, but its him. I know my children enough to be able to tell." Hideki felt very uneasy about his. "What did he want" he asked without wanting to. "He wants to meet us. Especially Chii." Now he was getting very careful. "What does he want with her? He hasn't seen her in years, why turn up now?"
"He wrote that he wanted to thank her. He to was affected by what Chii did. He also said he had a gift for her." Hideki thought for a moment. He knew the decision to meet was his, but he had to decide for Chii as well. "Do you think he can do harm?" "I don't know Hideki. But when you meet, make it on your grounds, and with someone around that can help. I suggest at Minoru's home, he has some very powerful persicom, and the room for such a thing."
"Alright." The decision was quickly made now. "ill give him a call. Ill let you know the time and date for the meeting."
One hour later.
"Yes. Uhu. Yes, Tomorrow at noon. Yes. Thank you miss Hibiya. See you tomorrow." As Hideki hung up the phone, he knew the hardest task of today was yet to come. He felt kind of bad for not telling her before, but he still thought it was the right thing. He turned around to face Chii, who was probably already suspecting something. She looked at him with her head tilted, saying "Chii?" He smiled. Strange how his heart always lit up when she looked at him like that. "I have to talk to you for a moment, Chii. You know how you used to have a sister?" Chii nodded, happy to know something he asked. "well," How the hell was he going to do this. "You and your sister weren't the only ones. Your parents tried other things to, on other persicom." Chii was at a loss now. If he just told her what he was trying to say. She took his hand, and smiled at him. "Chii not afraid. Hideki just tell Chii." Her hand, and her smile pulled him over. "You have a brother He was a little weird but its ok now and he's coming over tomorrow we meet at Minoru's house." It almost went to fast for her to understand, but when she let the words sink in, she did find it hard to understand. She new a brother was the same as a sister, but she never knew she had one. Hideki however said they were going to meet tomorrow, and if he thought it was alright, it was alright. She smiled again. "Chii!"
