Chp. 5 Present, Past, Future

A few days later, when Shugo and Rena were walking in Mac Anu with Zefie, Shugo accidentally bumped into a PC.

"Ouch! Sorry…" Shugo hit the earth, mumbling.

"Are you okay, Shugo?" Rena asked her brother.

"Next time be careful." The PC smiled and gave his hand to Shugo.

"Thank you…Huh?" After Shugo grabbed the PC's hand and stood up, his eyes widened as he saw the PC.

"Hey…why is your PC same with my brother?" Rena was astonished by the PC's appearance.

"Oh? You two can't be…Shugo and Rena?" The PC that looked as same as Shugo asked. Just then, Zefie smelled the PC for a bit, and then screamed happily.

"You got mother's scent!" Zefie hugged the PC tightly.

"He got Aura's scent…?"Shugo was confused.

"Aura…AHHH!! You're the legendary hero, Kite, aren't you?" Rena shouted. Everybody in Mac Anu started staring at them.

"Kite? Really?" Shugo was astonished. The legendary hero that saved 'The World' was standing in front of him!

"So you two are Shugo and Rena. Nice to meet you guys." Kite shook hands with the two, while Zefie was stuck with Kite like glue.

"So how do you know us…?" Shugo asked. It's kinda weird that Kite know anything about me…

"Balmung told Orca, Blackrose and me a lot about you two…aren't we being too bright in the road? Let's go somewhere else." Kite answered and suggested. Shugo and Rena looked around and saw everyone was staring at them.

"He he he……" Shugo gave a lemon smile to himself.

"W-W-Why don't we go to the Δ Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground? It's quiet there…"Rena was embarrassed by being staring at.

"I can transport you guys to there." Zefie grinned.

"Well then, let's go." Kite gave Zefie his thumb up. Zefie then pointed her finger to the artificial sky. The four vanished.

After a second, the four appeared in the Δ Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground.

"By the way, you know a lot about Aura, right?" Shugo asked Kite. Kite scrached his hair.

"Eh…kinda. She sent a lot of mails to me and I got knowing her much."

"Really? What do you think of her?" Rena asked as they reached the front of the Cathedral.

"Well…I think…she really cares about everyone in 'The World'. But because of this, she carried a lot of burden for us. What I think is that sometimes she needs some rest." Kite replied as he pushed the door of the Cathedral.

"Whats more, I think she has her own wish." Kite continued. His words reminded Shugo of what he heard from Aura few days ago.

"To be born, to live and to be real…right?" Shugo said. Kite nodded.

"To be…real? That's impossible!" Rena sighed.

"For AIs like us…it's really hard to leave the digital world…"Zefie was confused.

"mother…why would she want to be real?"

"…Because I……!!" Shugo was about to give the answer when he caught something in his sight.

"What is it?" Kite followed Shugo's sight and found that a girl in black with white hair was standing in front of a stone-made stand.

"……that girl……she's…a heavy axeman?" Rena asked softly. Zefie tasted the air again.

"She has a slight scent of mother…"Zefie said. The volume of her voice was soft but enough for the girl to notice their existence.

"…who are you guys?" The girl turned to the three and asked with a cool tone.

"!!" Kite, Shugo, Rena and Zefie was astonished by the appearance of the girl.

"…You're…" Cat held Rena's tongue.

"Aura?" Shugo can only think of one word.

"You got the wrong girl, stupid. I'm Carl, so stop calling me that AI girl's name. By the way…what's the news about that AI girl?" Carl said.

"You…know about Aura?" Shugo asked back.

"Humph! You're really impolite aren't you, little boy?" Carl let out a snore. Zefie's eye shone.

"Don't call Shugo like that!" Zefie gave a punch in Carl's face and Carl flew to the air. Kite, Shugo and Rena smiled bitterly.

After Carl hit the ground, Zefie walked to Carl and sat aside her.

"Listen. If you want to know more about my mother, you'll have to ask Shugo politely, you got it?" Zefie threaded Carl with her box glove. Carl was stunned for a moment.

"Shugo…? That's the name I've heard a lot from the AI girl."

"WHAT?" Rena screamed and stared at Shugo.

"Big brother, what's this all about?" She demanded. Shugo scratched his hair a bit.

"Well…I DID met Aura when I was in Kazu's house four years ago…I kinda sneaked into Kazu's computer room and tried the game…" he answered.

"...then? What happened after you met Aura?" Rena asked Shugo with her head tilled down. Black flame exploded in Rena's back.

"..I-I-I kinda forgot about the game and...Ow!!" While Shugo tried to explain to Rena with calm voice, he recieved a blow from Carl, who's eyes burned with the word "KILL".

"Now I see why did the AI girl always show sadness in her eyes. There's somebody who was mean to be her friend forget her existence and did not come back till four years later. Even if I was hospitalized, I still know about this and I'm not going to forgive you!" Carl growled while shaking Shugo up and down. Rena sweated. She turned to Kite.

"...I think Carl is a bit too paranoid about Aura...am I right?" Rena said. Kite shaked his head.

"Who knows...? She just act like a big sister to Aura...I guess." He said and walked towards Shugo and Carl.

"Hey you two! This is not a battle field so cut it out already!" Kite shouted. Shugo and Carl stopped.

"Carl, you've just mentioned that you've been hospitalized. So you're one of the coma victims, right?" He continued. Carl nodded.

"Why? What happened?" Rena asked Carl. Carl closed her eyes.

" After Aura protected me from Sora's attack, I escaped with her. However, Sora later chased after us with his strange power." She memorized. " We escaped to everywhere in 'The World' ...but Sora kept going after us...so one day we went to this Cathedral...and I was attacked by Sora."

"That must be 'data drain'..."Kite murmured.

"Before that, Aura told me a lot about that silly boy..."Carl pointed to Shugo, while Rena was burning herself.

"...she said that the boy told her a lot about the reality, and she wished to be in the reality." Carl continued.

"So Aura has been dreaming of reality since she met me...that's quite a long time..."Shugo murmured.

"Let me ask you guys a question: what will a person do when she found that her dream is absolutely impossible to come true?" Kite raised this question, his eyes looked like that he can see through the future.

"...if I were she, I probably will start go on rampage...only if that I have a great desire to make my dream come true." Rena gave an answer.

"That goes same on Aura." Kite simply said. Shugo, Rena, Zefie and Carl looked at Kite, astonished.

"However, we all know that Aura is the 'god' of 'The World', and she knows it herself. So I don't think she would go on rampage that easily." Kite continued. Everyone relaxed a bit, but Shugo still awared of the possibility behind the words.

"It also means that the possibility of Aura going on rampage still exists." He said. Kite nodded.

"Yes. Right now we can go gathering information about Aura...and her father Harald Hoewick...as her father is both a human and an AI." He suggested. Rena and Shugo didn't get the Harald part, but still nodded. Zefie noticed their confusion in their mind, so she went in front of them and smiled.

"Come on, you two! The cleverest girl in the world is right in front of you, and she'll surely help you!" Shugo and Rena chuckled. Kite smiled. "I guess you two don't have to worry about how to find the information then." He then turned to Carl, who's back was facing them since Kite talked about the rampage thingy.

"You're in, Carl?" Kite asked. Carl turned her face to Kite with a smile. A smile that seemed to be ready to face any adventures.

"As one of the heir of the twilight bracelet, it surely is my responsibility to help the goddess...right?" She raised up her axe, which had a little ring that made by data fragments around it. Kite was surprised for a second, then smiled.

"Then Shugo, everything is set now.It's all up to you." He said to Shugo. Shugo nodded.

"I will grant the goddess's wish, for sure." He promised. The light that passed through the windows of the cathedral and shone behind Shugo.

The hope is in the twilight, Kite thought.
