8 - Promise

Mira knocks on Sei's door and enters. Sei is taking care of his wound on the side.

PERL: Sir, the wound is not sever, but it'll take some time to heal.

Sei puts a bandage on the wound.

SEI: Auch!

PERL: And it'll hurt for some time. Good evning miss Mira.

Sei turns around and smiles.

SEI: Sorry you got to see this.

Mira sits beside him.

MIRA: It's okay... That was really impressive.

SEI: Thanks, but... she wasn't fighting serious.

MIRA: Huh?

SEI: She could easily beat me... But she didn't.

Mira lughs.

MIRA: Or you're just that strong... Talking about her, she's in the main room. They're waiting for us.

Sei and Mira join others in the main room. Akane is sitting on the chair. Her hands and legs are tied to the chair. Everyone is sitting by the table looking at her.

DAVID: Okay, so we have some rules... Well not really.

MIRA: There are gonna be now.

DAVID: Yes. So this whole place is under camera controls. There's also a wall around this place.

TAGGI: Trust me it's not that easy to get over it... Well now it isn't I upgraded it. I still don't know how you got in the first time.

DAVID: Yes. We actually don't live in this building. We sleep in little houses outside the building. We prepare and eat meals together. Most of the time we are in our own laboratories and offices. You can use the training room or workout room, whatever you want to call it, anytime you want. We also have seperate spa bathrooms.

He looks at everyone.

DAVID: I think that's it.

MIRA: Just one thing. Don't you even thing that we trust you enough. You won't be getting the The Uglax... That's it.

DAVID: Taggi unlock her.

TAGGI: Why me?

AI: Common, she's not gonna bite.

TAGGI: Well she can kill.

MIRA: Taggi!

TAGGI: Okay, okay.

He comes to her, slowly. He unlocks her, bening really careful in the proces. She looks at him and Taggis whole body shivers. He quickly backs off. Shiro runs to her.

SHIRO: Common I'll show you where you'll be staying.

She tries to hold her hand, but Akane moves her hand away and looks at her with a cold look.

SHIRO: Oh...

Shiro smiles anyway.

SHIRO: You'll be in my house!

Shiro leads Akane in her little house.

SHIRO: TADAAA! This is my side

Shiro side is ful of colors, plushies and colerful stuff.

SHIRO: And this is your side

She points to the other side with just a bed, table, chair and a bedside table.

SHIRO: There are some clothes in the wardrobe. Hope you'll like it her-

AKANE: I'm going to sleep.

Akane goes to her bed and lies down.

SHIRO: Oh okay.

Shiro sits down on her bed. There's silence for a minute.

SHIRO: Do all of your people have red hair? Cause I really like your hair. It's such a beautiful color. I love the color red, but I like pink more, actually I like all the color-

AKANE: Can you shut up... I'm trying to sleep.

SHIRO: Oh... Okay. Good night, then.

Akane shuts her eye tight.

AKANE: What have I gotten myself into?
