"Time to get up, Baa." Gareki was awoken when a sheep came into his room. He rolled over onto his side and glared at the sheep standing beside his bed. What he wouldn't give right now to smash that sheep into pieces. "Report to the cafeteria for breakfast, Baa." With that the sheep walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
Gareki hauled himself out of bed and looked at the clock on his nightstand, it read 7 am. 'It's too damn early,' Gareki thought as he wiped away the sleepiness from his tired eyes. He looked around his unfamiliar room and noticed that there were a new set clothes folded neatly on his desk. They were identical to the ones he had been wearing the previous day, even down to the last stitch. Picking up the clothes he walked into the bathroom that was connected to his room. After a quick glance around Gareki concluded that the bathroom contained all the necessities he would need and proceeded to take a shower.
It was the nicest shower Gareki had ever taken and he couldn't help but linger in it a little longer than necessary. He regrettably had to leave and head down to the cafeteria for breakfast. 'Lets see, I believe he said down the hall to the right..' Gareki thought as he ventured out of his room. Following his remembered directions he came upon a large room that contained seven long tables, many ceiling to floor windows and long buffet table holding an incomprehensible number of different foods.
Gareki walked over to the buffet table and pick out a few foods that he did recognize since he didn't feel like being adventurous today. "Gareki! Over here!" yelled a overly cheerful voice for the early morning. He looked over and met the blond haired man's eyes. Even though he really didn't want to he forced himself to walk over and sit next to the cheerful idiot and Nai.
"Did you sleep well last night Gareki?" Nai asked as he continued to eat his food.
"Guess so," Gareki replied nonchalantly. Truth be told, last night was the best night that Gareki had ever had. He had fallen into the most peaceful sleep after laying down on the bed and didn't wake up once in the night, unless you count that aggravating sheep from this morning. Gareki ate the rest of his meal in silence as he listened to Yogi and Nai talk about what animal they thought was cutest.
After breakfast, Yogi showed them to the medical examination room where they waited for Akari. As soon as Akari came in, Yogi stuttered out a quick goodbye and bolted from the room. Gareki was led to a bed where Akari performed a normal check up that only took about five minutes. When he was done he hopped off the bed. For the first time, he noticed that another figure was standing in the room, leaning against the wall next to the door. The person had short black hair and was wearing a long, black sleeved shirt with a purple tie, grey pants and black boots that went up nearly to his knees. To top it off, he was wearing black framed glasses that covered his golden eyes. "Who are you?" Gareki asked.
"My name is Jiki and from today on I have been assigned to be your trainer," the man replied assessing him. "Since you're cleared from you examination you can follow me to the training area." The man named Jiki walked out of the room, not even checking if the raven haired teen was following.
Gareki was currently standing in the largest room he had ever seen. The ceiling had to be twice as high as the one in the cafeteria and the width was three times as long. The room itself was pretty bare containing only large doors that led to unknown rooms. Gareki had discarded his coat a while ago to give himself more mobility since he didn't even know what kind of "training" he was going to receive. Jiki had disappeared a while ago into one of the side rooms and had told him to wait in here.
Jiki peaked his head around the door of the room he had disappeared into and asked, "You said you prefer using gun's or ranged weapons right?"
"Yeah," Gareki said. Jiki threw something through the air at him and he easily caught it. Glancing down at what he had caught he saw it was a well crafted black hand gun that had purple intricate designs and the Circus logo on it's side.
"If you're going to fight Varuga you're going to need special weapons," Jiki said as he walked out of the room toward Gareki. "Sure you could use your usual gun but only if you can shoot it ten times before it kills you. These guns are specifically designed to destroy Varuga on impact. Moving on to training, since I don't know how much experience you have we are just going to start off with target practice."
'Are you kidding me?' Gareki thought as Jiki went over to the control room. 'This is a complete waste of my time.'
"Start in the center of the room and shoot at the targets as they come up," Jiki said over the loud speaker. Gareki reluctantly did as he was told and began to shoot at the rapidly appearing targets around the room. He was momentarily amazed by the power of gun, since when he shot, the target exploded into pieces. By the end of the first round Gareki had a perfect score of 100/100.
"Well it's better than what I expected, we're going to try moving targets now." With that the targets reappeared but were moving at fast speeds. By the end of the second round Gareki had an almost perfect score of 96/100. "Now that that's out of the way, have you ever seen a Varuga?" Jiki came out of the control room and walked toward Gareki.
"No but I have heard of them," Gareki said turning toward Jiki.
"We have one here that's used for training and I would like for you to experience what fighting a Varuga would be like." With that Jiki stepped back and used a remote control to open one of the large doors in the room.
'It can't be that hard,' Gareki thought confidently as he aimed his gun at the door, waiting for the Varuga to appear. It was silent only for a moment before the creature leaped out of it's cage and ran toward him. The Varuga easily evaded the shots that were fired at him and moved rapidly toward the shooter. Gareki was barely able to evade the first attack but in a matter of seconds, he was hit from behind and sent flying to the other end of the room. Gareki hit the floor hard and slid a good ten meters before his back connected with the wall. Stars danced in front of his vision and he head was spinning from the impact. By the time Gareki was able to sit up, Jiki had already restrained the Varuga and returned it to it's cage.
"Well, you lasted longer than Yogi did his first time."
Gareki was walking back to his room from training that day extremely sore. After the Varuga attack he had to learn hand to hand combat as well as more shooting techniques. It was already late in the evening and Gareki wanted to get more sleep before having another tortuous day with Jiki. He briefly wondered what kind of training Nai went through that day since he hadn't seen him since breakfast.
"The results that came back declared that Nai isn't human," said a hushed voice from a room that he walked by. Gareki stopped at hearing Nai's name and backtracked to the door. The door was left cracked open letting the sound float out. He peaked in through the crack to reveal Hirato's office. Hirato was sitting on one of the couches and Akari was sitting across from him on the other. "To be more exact he is part of a species known as Niji. Judging by the DNA work that was done on him I would say Kafka was the one that made him human."
"So what you're suggesting to me is that Nai could also be a spy?" Hirato casually asked.
"We can't rule out that possibility," Akari said seriously. "When they made him human they could have wired his brain so they can have mental contact and he could feed them information."
'Nai's not human and he's a spy?'
