Ch: 05


Shika sat down and laced his fingers.

He remembered the story so well, it was welded into his mind.


Sasuke was mad with anger, though he never showed it outwardly. To prove that he wasn't as poor as many would have liked to think, he bought a Xenon.

For the first few months, he neglected her. He proved his point and no longer wanted anything to do with her. She tried to reason with him and gain his trust, but that only made him angrier.

One night, Sasuke stumbled in drunk and angry. He was so angry, he punched through the window, badly slashing his wrist but not noticing.

Roxas tried to calm him down and contact help, but he picked her up and tossed her against the wall, damaging her greatly.

Just when Roxas was able to scream, he picked her up once more and threw her out of the window and into another harder wall. She bounced off of it and landed into the trash.


Shika shivered and pulled out a picture of the Xenon then. Her skin was torn and "bruised" and her limbs were broken in grotesque angles. Her head had a huge gash on her forehead and her stomach area seemed to be mutilated by broken glass.

The worst part was that Sasuke programmed her to feel pain, and she felt every bit of it.


The sounds of her screaming then her dying gasps were too much even for Shika. He threw up on the spot when he found her.

He dedicated all of his time to fixing her and upgrading her. It took months, but he finally got her back online and in working condition.

Sasuke came in a few months afterwards to see what was taking up all of his time. They blew up then and there about what happened to her and how she didn't deserve such pain.

Sasuke, his face showing only a hint of guilt, asked for her back. When he said no, he got the courts involved and had her seized.


Since then, he's been treating her like a princess, though his motives are cloudy.

Shika put the picture away and sighed.

How long would it be before he harmed another in such a way?


Naruna looked at the Xenon and smiled softly. "I want you to come with me."

"I can never leave. I belong to him."

"Amber told me that we women belong to noone; you are your own person. Please come with me my new friend!"

Angel pulled out of the embrace. "What if he finds me? He will hurt me again!"

"The other me will protect you. She is nice and caring; she will watch over us both."

'We must leave immediately……..now!'

Naruna looked up. "I do not know which way to go."

'I will show you. Take the girl if she is willing to go, but you must get out now!'

Nodding, Naruna took the Xenon's hand and followed the instructions out.

Upon exiting the outer door, something triggered within Naruna, sending a strong wave throughout the city, embedding a secret within every Xenon it came in contact with.


Roxas sat at home, clad in a blue silk nightgown. Sasuke had gone out to yet another party and she had been sitting on the windowsill, hoping and praying that Naruno would find her way back.

"Please let Naruno be okay………."

Roxas' eyes blinked white rapidly before it settled again.

That was a reminder of how violent Sasuke's rage was. She had an eye condition that could never be fixed without her losing everything. And even then, it could only be half done.

Sighing, she turned her gaze heavenward before returning it to the streets.
