OoOoOoOoOoOo

The next few days passed normally, as normally as they could pass anyway. The silver haired stranger was staying with them for the time being, and he kept looking at Ienzo when he thought he wasn't looking. Ienzo had shrugged it off as unimportant at first, noting that he was probably just testing his ability in a discrete manner, but those words still echoed in his 'mind', obsolete… was he really? They couldn't have designed a newer model already, it was almost impossible.

He'd begun feeling strange after the electric shock from the coffee maker, but kept it to himself… he didn't need to give them any reason to eliminate him. They were small changes, like the fact that he started to break the morning routine, doing things out of order just because he told himself he could, or doing little dances in the living room when he swept pretending the broom was another person like in the movies. He started thinking, questioning more than ever, frowning slightly when he couldn't get an answer and stretching his face into a grin when he found something interesting. He began feeling, getting bored at the same old thing, or laughing to himself when something humorous was on the television, and it scared him but at the same time he was elated by the fact that he was experiencing all of this.

He made sure not to let anyone else know about this, 'robots' weren't meant to think or feel, and he was technically a robot, and went about his business normally around the white coats. And everything was fine, and lasted about a week before he'd started to slip up. It was only minor things in front of the lower ranks – things such as chuckling at a joke, or voicing his opinions on a topic he'd overheard, but they were slipups none the less.

One day when he was sweeping the floor of the living room, his master came up to him and placed a firm hand on his shoulder, ceasing his work as he stood straight to look at his master.

Is there anything I can do for you, sir?" Ienzo asked.

"I need you to come with me please". The man replied and turned around to walk out of the room, the bluenette following him obediently. He followed him down the hall, to the door that led downstairs, and into the lab where a few other white coats were stationed around an object in the center of the room.

Ienzo faintly registered the sound of the door shutting behind him, but shrugged it off as he was more interested in what everyone was crowded around. Looking over to his master, he was going to ask what was going on.

"This is the newest I.E.N.Z.O model, F.U.U". He said before the question could be asked. The crowd parted to reveal a female figure lying on a table, its abdomen open revealing different mechanisms and synthetic nerves spilling out. Her pale face was framed by blue hair much like his own.

"New model? Already?" He muttered. He knew they'd been talking about it, and suddenly he didn't want to be in the room anymore. 'Obsolete' the word echoed rapidly in his mind.

'Ienzo, you have been useful to us with your cooperation in testing, but you are only a prototype. Certainly not fit to actually work for humans. I don't expect you to understand." he said.

"But I do understand…" He muttered quietly, "I'm being replaced?" he asked incredulously.

"Not exactly, more like… disassembled and repurposed." his eyes shot open.

"What!? You can't- I mean-". He really didn't want to be in the room anymore, especially not with all the looks he was getting.

"It isn't my decision. Now. Go with Xaldin." he gestured to the dreadlocked man waiting by another door.

My thoughts were racing, but I didn't want to be taken apart, "…no." he said. His master's eyes widened considerably.

"What?"

"I said no". His voice held more confidence now. More looks of surprise were tossed his way.

"Y-you shouldn't be able to say no. Something must be wrong with your mainframe." he was muttering to himself, and had looked down in thought.

"NOTHING'S WRONG!" Ienzo shouted at the man, sending a glare his way.

" you're a machine, how are you showing this much… never mind you must be disassemble now, this is much too dangerous.". As he said that two men made a grab for me. Being smaller than them I was able to duck under their arms and ran for the door. He threw is open and flung myself up the stairs, hearing heavy footsteps behind him. Running through the house, he made it to the front door and hesitated only a moment, he'd never actually been outside before.

"Stop him!" The shout was enough to make him run out in the late afternoon sun in a loose purple shirt, and jeans – his feet bare – and take off into the nearby forest, not even caring where he was going. He had to get as far away from that place as possible, he didn't want to be taken apart.

OoOoOoOoOoOo

He must've been running for hours now, the sun had gone down and it was dark out. He'd stopped running and was just walking along the side of a rural road, letting himself recharge. Nobody had come after him yet, and he was pretty sure he'd lost them but didn't dare let his guard down. Now that he'd slowed down he'd taken the chance to look around. He'd only ever seen the outdoors from the windows and images online, but it was so different actually being there, it was almost overwhelming. The dirt was cool on his bare feet and the night was a comfortable mix of warm and cool, and the stars…oh the stars were so beautiful from outside.

He sighed, and glanced around. He still had a ways to go before he could stop, he could at least find a town to rest in. So he kept walking under the stars, covered by the comfortable dark.

OoOoOoOoOoOo

Alright so yeah, little Ienzo ran away from home, what'll happen to him now that he's out on his own? Anyway, Dem will most likely be in the next chapter, so look forward to that.

Still not sure about how this story, I know what I want but I don't know how to put it into my words, if you know what I mean.

Reviews are always encouraging and I'll see you next chapter.
