A/N: Here's Chapter 6 of Steins;Fate. Well, yeah Kurisu's birthday will be on the next chapter instead. Btw, I ended up focusing on Okabe and Kurisu's POVs and neglected giving Yuki and Daru the substantial dialogue I promised last chapter –facepalm- Also, I'm gonna put in some serious stuff in this fanfic so for those who enjoy the light-heartedness of the first chapters…. BE PREPARED!

Notes:

" " – a term in-universe, also used when a character is talking

' ' – character is thinking

* - has an explanation for the term at the bottom of the fanfic chapter.

^ ^- Okabe or any character is speaking English/Engrish XD

(Example of the above note:

"I am Mad Scientist" – Japanese, what he's saying if we had audio is "Boku ga Mad Kagaku-sha"

"^I am Mad Scientist^" – English, or in Okabe's case, Engrish.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Steins;Gate and its characters, If I did, it will have a Guilty Crown crossover and the Future Gadget Lab will help Shu save Inori via time-leap XD

STEINS;FATE

Chapter 6 – Engurishu Desu Act 3…and a foretaste of what is to come.

Previously on Steins;Fate

"I-Idiot! Saying things like that. Hmph. L-let's focus on eavesd-dropping. Th-that's what we f-followed them f-for anyway." was Kurisu's bashful remark.

"R-R-Right." We were both red as tomatoes. And so, we continued to eavesdrop.

Timeskip to 1 day after the Puzzle convention, July 31, 2012, 9:54 PM Okabe POV

(Note: They are still in LA.) This had to be some trick. I did not want to believe the scene before my eyes. Kurisu who stood behind me, was also in a wailing mess. She tightly gripped my arm. Daru and Mayuri were both as stunned and shocked as me and Kurisu were. Before us was the limp and motionless body of someone the four of us knew all too well. Her clothing was a bloody mess. Her face was covered with wounds that were obviously the result of a struggle. I felt a rising anger burn deep in the recesses of the fibres of my being. I was pretty sure that my lab members and my girlfriend felt that same feeling of hate as I am.

We immediately called for help and brought her to the nearest hospital. Her condition had been stabilized. She now lay unconscious in her hospital bed, though there might have been undetected complications so we still couldn't rest easy. 'They will pay… for doing this to Faris.' My rage-filled mind was filled with that one thought.

4 days before the Puzzle Convention, July 24 2012, 9:50 AM Kurisu POV

Okabe and I concentrated on eavesdropping on Hashida-san, Yuki Amane, and Mayuri. As we intently listened…

"Umm, Yuki-san, Daru-kun, Mayushii's just gonna go to the comfort room." we heard Mayuri say. After sparing a moment to glance at her while she went to the comfort room, we returned our full attention to Hashida-san and Amane-san.

During Mayuri's absence, the two of them talked about various things, nothing too personal though.

"Christina, it would seem that nothing much is happening. Is this the choice that Steins;Gate has made for the two of them?" Okabe said to me while turning to face me.

"Okabe…" I started, with just the right degree of vocal stress to give the impression of annoyance.

"Y-yes, Ku-Kurisu?" I heard Okabe reply nervously.

"I love you, but if you keep on doing that 'chuunibyou' shtick of yours, I will tie you up to a chair with the help of the other lab members and leave you in a room while in front of a television set playing nothing but recordings of home therapy sessions featuring Dr. Phil for 8 hours. That and no talking to me for a month, ^(this part's in Engurishu)do you understand?^" I threatened.

"Y-yes ma'am." That got him to stop with the crazy. I giggled at the thought while Okabe squirmed uncomfortably and we returned our focus to the lovebirds-to-be. Suddenly, I felt a hand touch my shoulder. Okabe and I heard a familiar voice speak.

"So Daru-kun was right when he said he was hearing things." we turned around to see Mayuri smiling mischievously.

"Ah…. M-Mayuri… Fancy seeing you h-here right?" I attempt to pose myself and Okabe being here as an innocent coincidence. That was failing at a very pitiful rate due to Okabe being a dead giveaway as he was sweating buckets.

Mayuri POV

So they were spying on Daru-kun, I had just caught them red-handed after all.

"Mayuri, i-it's not what you think!" Okarin who was just profusely sweating a while ago was now strongly denying it. I saw Kurisu-chan placing her hand on her face doing what I remember Daru called a 'facepalm'.

"Okabe, Mayuri obviously knows why we're here. We should just drop the act."

"Mayushii agrees, Okarin and Kurisu-chan were obviously trying to spy on Daru-kun and Yuki-san! ehehe." I finally was able to openly say it to them.

Okabe POV

'Crap! we've been found out, soon Mayuri will go back to their table and rat us out. Damn, I need to do something or Daru would never let me and Kurisu live it down.' I thought to myself. As I always did during desperate situations, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and put it on my ear.

"Hello? It's me. Yes that's right. The organization has succeeded in capturing Mayuri. WHAT?! Symptoms of being brainwashed included irrational thinking and easily accusing others of things they did not do?! Yes, I understand. Me and my partner Christina will be careful. Everything is the choice of Steins;Gate. El….Psy…..Congroo." I finished my Hououin Kyouma routine. Kurisu looked visibly displeased while blushing a bit. 'Must be that partner bit' I recalled. Mayuri though just giggled obviously amused at the crap I had just spouted like a geyser exploding with a burst of water. Suddenly, an idea popped in my head.

"Mayuri, hand me your phone." I said in a mock-serious tone.

"Why Okarin?" she asked.

"My phone's dead. I need to mail something important someone." I lied. Technically though it wasn't a lie since I really was going to mail someone. Mayuri wasn't gonna be thrilled with what I was about to do though.

After Mayuri lent me her phone, I began composing an e-mail To Daru. It said that Mayuri was going home since she was having a bad case of indigestion. Kurisu saw this and gave me a thumbs up and a grinned in return. Mayuri looked confused at our exchange. After pressing send, and hearing Daru's phone's notification ringtone from the other table, indicating that the mail had been sent, I returned Mayuri's phone intentionally leaving the mail on display. Mayuri saw this and glared at me and Kurisu.

"Okarin?! Why did you do this! Now Mayushii can't go back to Yuki-san's table to rejoin them! Kurisu-chan, why didn't you stop him? He's your boyfriend after all!" Mayuri who was usually pretty lenient and forgiving snapped at us.

"Hontou ni, gomen ne* Mayuri-chan, but Okabe just saved me and himself from the wrath of Hashida-san. Okabe, GJ!*" Kurisu replied while giggling a bit. Mayuri continued to pout but then decided being angry about it wouldn't do any good so the three of us shared in a hearty dose of laughter.

"Now then, Mayushii suggests that the two of you continue the spying while I join you since because of Okarin…" Mayuri looked at me with an expression of mock-anger while I just snickered at that.

"…Mayushii can't rejoin them anyway" Mayuri finished. The three of us then proceeded on our mission of eavesdropping on the Super Hacka.

Narita International Airport*, July 24 2012, 10:00 AM Faris POV

'I wonder what Kyouma and the others are doing right now-nya?' I thought to myself while boarding my flight. In about 11 hours and a half*, I would be with the others in Los Angeles. This is going to be exciting.

As soon as I was done with promoting May Queen Nyan Nyan, I found myself with a lot of free time. I then remembered Kyouma and the gang trying to get me to join them on their trip to LA. As I had nothing but time on my hands right now, I decided that going to LA would be a rather nice vacation for me, and I could go and watch Kyouma when he competes in that 'Puzzle Convention' that Daru-kun mentioned.

Narita International Airport, July 24 2012, 10:00 AM ? POV

'So Los Angeles is where you are off to, Rumiho-chan?' I grinned at the thought. Her plane was one that was headed to LA, according to the flight details I had gained knowledge of while stalking her at the ticket counter. I had been trying to get my hands on Faris Nyannyan, real name: Rumiho Akiha, for a long time now. Now is the time I would finally succeed, it seems. 'Now I should probably buy myself a ticket to LA' I contemplated while preparing to execute my vendetta.

-Chapter 6 END-

A/N 2: Mean cliffhanger for y'all. See you next chapter, reviews good or bad are welcome. Thanks for reading chapter 6 of Steins;Fate.

*Hontou ni, gomen ne – Japanese for "I am really sorry". I felt that this would better convey the scene instead of using the english text.

*GJ – common abbreviation of "good job" used by the Japanese and some other countries as well.

*Narita International Airport – A real airport located in Narita, which is in the Chiba prefecture of Japan.

*Inabout 11 hours and a half – Google tells me that a trip from Narita to Los Angeles would take about 11 hours and 24 minutes.
