Flo: Yay~ I'm finally able to write I Half Love You's new chapter! xD
IE GO Cast: Hooray.
Flo: Disclaimer! Where is that useless thing?
DISCLAIMER: Howdy ho! It's me, the Disclaimer! I'm here to tell you that Floric1434 does not own Level-5 because if she did, she'd already own Inazuma Eleven and Inazuma Eleven GO! The only thing she owns is this story right here!
Flo and IE GO Cast: … For once, it is doing its job right.

Shindou winced. Well, his human arm did. A small robatic voice in his head greeted him as his robotic side gained consciousness.
System Reboot: Complete.
His right eye – or more like his robot eye – illuminated and sent images of the room he was in to his brain. To make things clearer right now only his robotic half was awake. His human side was still asleep, but his brain knew he would be completely awake soon.
Slowly but surely, he heard the door creak open. A figure of a human being walked in, as his right eye showed to his brain. To make sure that the human wouldn't notice anything weird, the robot eye closed itself for a while.
Shindou heard the window opening thanks to his robotic ear and stirred a little when he felt the Sun's rays on his human skin. The smell of the woods reached his nostrils; and it smelt good.
"Hm… You're not awake yet…" The human said. It sounded… like a female's voice… but there had also been a hint of manliness in the said voice.
Shindou then heard footsteps leaving him and guessed that the human was walking out of the room. The sound of the door being slammed confirmed his estimation. By this time, his human side had already come into consciousness.
Sometimes, being a half robot has its advantages.
The latter sat up straight and held his aching head. It throbbed oh-so-suddenly and he felt compelled to knock his head with a hammer. But the headache disappeared as soon as it appeared.
He looked around to notice that the room he was in was fairly small. There's a table pushed against a wall on one side and an oil lamp on it. A chair sat by its lonesome in one corner. The bed creaked as he climbed down.
His right eye scanned the room once again. There was nothing suspicious about it at all. He started making his way to the table, where he noticed a book on it. It was just an old book, eaten by time. Shindou stared at the cover, a bad feeling rising inside of him.
A wave of nausea hit him and he held his head again. And to make matters worse, almost every feeling that existed in a human's heart started to emerge. Anger, pain, sadness, happiness, rage, confusion, fear; all of those emotions were bottling up inside of him.
Warning. Danger alert. Blocked information reaching breach.
The pain in his head increased and he screamed in agony. He held his head and had his eyes shut but the pain wouldn't go away. Shindou fell back and knocked the table over. The table – of course – toppled over causing the oil lamp to break and the book to land on the floor with a loud thud. The book flipped open, revealing a page where somebody had made a dog-ear on it.
Shindou's knees buckled and he dropped. The pain was decreasing – but ever so slowly. He opened one eye and saw…
His very own picture in it.
Tears started to appear in this eye as it was the human eye and Shindou gritted his teeth. This book had belonged to him – back in the days when he was still full human. Back in the days where he had despised robots – and worked with the government to eliminate rouge ones.
And Shindou couldn't help but to wonder…
How did this book get here?
The door slammed open, revealing a teenage guy with pink hair. He looked like he had a panic attack and was ready to fight any evil robot he found. But when he saw Shindou on the floor and the mess he had made, the stranger's face relaxed.
"You… Are you okay?" the pink-haired stranger asked, his bright blue eyes shining with concern. Shindou slowly stood up, with one hand holding his still slightly aching head, and nodded.
The stranger walked in slowly, careful not to step on the broken pieces of glass even though he was wearing boots. "What happened?" the other kneeled down in front of Shindou.
The brunette blinked. Was this guy serious? Did he really care for him?
"N-Nothing… My head just hurt… a lot…"
Concern spread though the stranger's face again.
"Don't worry, it happens all the time," though this time, it was a lie. His headaches didn't occur all the time. He could barely even remember the last time he had one! But one thing for sure, the headache he had received just now was because of that book.
"Can you stand?" he heard the stranger say and looked up. The pink-haired teen had his arm stretched out. Shindou took it and the other helped him up.
"Thank you,"
"You're welcome. My name is Kirino Ranmaru, and you are?" Kirino asked with a smile.
"Shindou… Takuto…" Shindou replied; his eyes made their way to the book on the floor. "Ano… Where did you get this book?" he asked before he kneeled down to get the book off the floor and dusted it.
Kirino gasped a little. He opened his mouth and was about to answer, but was interrupted by a few other teen males rushing into the room.
"KIRINO! WE HEARD THE SCREAM, WHAT HAPPENED?"
.End.
Flo: Had to stop here before mom kills me… Bye and please review!
