A/N: This will add another element to the story. Hopefully I can get around to posting chapter five before the day ends. Thanks
Swift.
"Do you have any Mountain Dew?" she asked the clerk.
"We've got one can, missy," replied the nameless clerk.
"I'll take it," she said almost without thinking. "How much is that?"
"Consider it on the house. We're closing up for good as it is."
"I'm so sorry."
"Don't be. Trust me, I'm not." As she walked out of the store, the man put a for sale sign in the front window. The Mountain Dew was so cold, so inviting, but she knew she had to wait.
"Kairi, I'm home," She said as she stepped through the door of the small apartment. Her autistic sister lay on the bed, reading, as always. "I've brought you something to drink," she said flexing the can of soda in front of the girl's face.
"Thanks, Namine." Her reply made Namine jump a bit. Kairi rarely said anything these days. "Put it on the desk, please, I'll drink it after I finish the chapter," she said, referring to the copy of Animal Farm she was holding.
"No problem. If you can, call me if you need anything," She smiled at the girl, and left the room.
When she sat down and looked at the computer screen in front of her, she smiled. She was, after all, the city's greatest hacker. Firewalls, Set ups, anything, she'd always found a back door. She was paid to. How else were they still living under a roof these days? She pulled up the homepage, highly illegal for a non-government official; it was the main frame of the city, as well as the country. "Let's see what Shinra's been cooking up these days," she said, clicking on the NEWS button of the site. She skipped all of the stuff on incredibly high taxation and to the bottom, where no one usually looked. She was intrigued, to say the least. "Thirteen machines? Computerized brains?" She smiled. Her specialty. "Let's see, I have one computer address, a certain NWO-13. Poor thing." She opened the file and tried to access the computer. It was locked by a Grit force firewall. "Ah, Damn it. This isn't supposed to be that hard!" She said, flustered. Instead of giving up, however, she beat the firewall by redirecting it to another dummy. In other words, a scapegoat had to deal with it. She was in, but it was like nothing she had ever seen in her years as a hacker before. The software looked incredibly advanced, with a desktop capable of viewing in-real time-the world surrounding it. Presently, it was…it was taking care of some business. It got up, pulled its pants into position, and stepped out of a stall. A handsome boy looked in the mirror, though he seemed rather tired. "Say your name," Namine said.
"Roxas, is that really me now? The Great Destroyer?" the computer answered, as if he was asking himself.
"How and why do you look, so…human?"
"I don't kn- wait. Who's asking?" Oh no. Her cover was blown. She watched as Roxas ran out of the bathroom, into a room resembling some sort of mission control center. "Zexion, I think I've been hacked."
Frantically, she tried to terminate the connection to the terminal, but to no avail. He was purposely doing his best to keep the connection live. She was fucked. "I've got her. Let's go!"
"Wait," said Roxas, perplexed. "It's a girl?"
"I'm just guessing. All of the best hackers are usually women, but we'll know when we get there, won't we?" replied Zexion.
"I guess you're right." With that, they, as well as the rest of the team set out to find the hacker.
"AH GOD DAMN IT!" Namine screamed as she threw the keyboard in disgust. She ran to Kairi's room. "Kairi, we have to go!" Kairi, who had no sense of urgency flowing at all through her body, slowly got up and grabbed her book.
"Where to?" She asked pleasantly.
"ANYWHERE!" Namine replied frantically as she packed Kairi's laptop into a satchel. By the time she was done, Kairi was waiting by the door.
"Bye house!" Kairi yelled as they left the apartment.
"Shh!" Namine turned around to quiet her sister. She turned around, and everything went black.
"Oh, that can't be good…" Kairi said.
