Chapter Two – Not So Bad

"Huh, what?... whu-where am I?" Netto said, He looked around at his surroundings, his eyes still half closed, his shorts were wet from the tears and the floor was now warm from his heat.

It suddenly hit him very hard "Crap" He stood up and started to run to where his parents were sat. There was nothing, he just stood staring blankly, mouth wide open.

He stood in front of where his parents were sat. "Oh no… what? Why did I do this! No... Why did they leave me… they shouldn't have left even if I ran off!" He said angrily, he gritted his teeth and stormed out of the airport, still unsure of what he was going to do…

His tears from his eyes were now completely gone but were now replaced with rage, the sun was bright, warm and past mid point in the sky, he couldn't cry in such a wonderful and tropical paradise.

He started walking towards the large town in the centre of the island.

I can't believe this is actually happening. This island known as Taurin, it's so beautiful. How can anyone be angry? But still… maybe I shouldn't have done that… Netto stopped by a near wall and slammed his fist against it, he growled and said "Im such an idiot!" he said out loud.

He noticed a nearby clock on a tower say 15:43 "Afternoon already, it's only been one day since they left, but they should be home now" He thought sadly.

"Why I am even being sad?!" He smiled at himself "This is a great opportunity! No parents, no one to tell me what to do or who to be… this is like a second chance at life!" He said to himself. His spirits now rose with joy and happiness.

"I just need to do things right this time round" He said calmly looking around "But Rockman…" He pictured an image of Rockman in his mind smiling… It saddened his spirits again…"I shouldn't worry about him now" he said making up his mind, at least his navi was safe…

I'm gone for good, no more Akihara… maybe I can start my love life over? What was I thinking… falling in love with my navi? He thought. He shook his head and started walking I can forget about him now. Start new, fresh, it would never have worked out anyway.

Netto carried on walking through the small town until he had covered every bit of it. He stopped at the smell of delicious spices and peppers, vegetables and sweet rice. All mixed together "There's only one dish with that smell!" He said to himself, he followed the smell around a small corner and saw a large curry restaurant surrounded with trees; it looked like its own tropical paradise "Curry!" He shouted, "I didn't know this was here, it looks like…" He got a closer look at saw a picture of the world three follower "Its one of Mahajarama's curry restaurants!" He did say they were really popular everywhere "Maybe I can get a job here" He said thinking to himself.

He walked into the store noticing it wasn't really that busy, just a few people, but it sounded like a good atmosphere from them few people laughing and having fun.

He walked up to the bar and noticed a man cleaning the surfaces, most probably the owner of the restaurant. He smiled gracefully at Netto and say "Hay kid, anything I can do for you?" Netto smiled, the man seemed like a nice person from first impressions.

Better change my name in case he does know Mahajarama "My names…" He paused to think up something quick… "Rosuto, I was wondering… Could I maybe have a job to keep me busy? That is if you have any vacancies?" He said confidently and trying not to force him to decide.

"Rosuto aye?" The man gave out a small laugh along with a smile "What a nice name, I'm Rex, If you really want a job here then I might as well give you one, it gets very popular around here and I could use some help" He said cheerfully.

(a/n: Try and bare in mind that Netto will also be known as Rosuto from now on)

Rosuto smiled "Thank you so much Rex! You won't regret it!" Shaking his hand, he shook it so hard it almost looked like it was about to fall off.

"Okay Rosuto calm down!" Rex smiled trying not to let his arm be yanked off.

Rosuto went silent for a bit and just looked around the store Even though I now have a job, I still have no where to stay… maybe Rex could help me… "Rex, do you know anywhere that I could stay for a while just until I get on my feet?"

Rex stopped cleaning the bar and started scratching the side of his face and let out a loud "Hmm" He clicked his finger "If you're looking for a place to stay, why not stay in the spare room upstairs, I was going to use it as like a room for breaks and relaxing, but I barley have time to do that… so why don't you have it, you should find everything you need" He said motioning for him to follow him upstairs.

Rex led Rosuto upstairs to a large room with a large window spreading across a whole wall of the room… and the view outside… it was beyond stunning, he could even see the ocean… that is if he squinted his eyes enough… "Wow!" Rosuto said in a hyperactive tone making his way over to the window to get a better view and then looking back and viewing every inch of the room, there was everything he needed all right; there was even a door for privacy and his own bathroom with a shower, a large bed, a small kitchen, everything.

"Did you plan on living in here at one point?" Rosuto asked.

"Yes, but I need my own place away from work, I like curry but it becomes a bit of an annoying smell after a while, I'm afraid when work closes you'll be here on your own, is that okay?"

Rosuto nodded "Yeah, that should be alright, I don't mind, and I don't think I could ever hate curry" Rex nodded back and couldn't help but smile "I'll leave you to it Rosuto, you can have today to relax, but you start work tomorrow, don't be late!"

Rex made his way out of the room "How can I be late when work is downstairs! I can finally have lye-ins!" This is going to be the best second life I've ever had! He thought falling onto the bed and looking out the window.

But still… having this life also brought back the memories of his parents… and Rockman.

I hope I've made the right choice; this seems like such a nice place. It's nice now anyway with out mama. The only reason why she hated me is because she heard me shouting rockman at night. I think she thought I was having sex with him. But he can't appear in the real world, I was actually dreaming of him. Thank god the pet was off though. And papa… he told me that I can do what I think is best for me, he's proud that he has someone like me who dares to be different, I'm really going to miss him… and Rockman, what will he do without an operator… papa might take care of him, I know papa has no navi, he could use Rockman for work and things like that, I'm sure he won't mind.

Rosuto closed his eyes trying to forget about that life he once had and found himself fast asleep, it had been a long day, he had walked all over Taurin, got himself a job and now found himself a new home, his second life was already underway.

"Good luck Rockman" Yuichiro said waving Rockman off at the airport "Remember everything that I've told you"

"Thank you, Hikari-san" Rockman smiled. Im coming Netto-kun

Okay just a few notes.

Rosuto, which is now the new name for Netto means 'Lost'. Clever aye?

Taurin, which is the name of the island, means 'Tropical Rainforest'
