Mission

Chapter 9: Homaru (prt2)

  When Homaru was born the parents couldn't take care of her well since their schedules were packed with work. They decided it was best to leave their daughter in the care of Touma.

  Though Touma is a busy man he has time, unlike them.

[Yuu's room]

I was tossing and turning back and forth on my bed trying to find a comfortable position to sleep but no matter how hard I tried I was so uncomfortable and tensed up from the atmosphere.

  I think I'm thinking too much about my older sister.

I huffed in frustration.

  All of the sudden my hands moved by themselves and called Touma.

Touma: Hello?

Yuu: Ummm...

  I felt hesitant at first to ask about Homaru, but I said it without thinking.

Yuu: May I ask something?

Touma: Go on...

Yuu: Why did my parents leave homaru with you?

Touma: They had busy schedules so they decided it was best for me to take care of her since Homaru was diagnosed with CHD (Coronary heart disease) at a very young age.

Yuu: Oh, I see... But why didn't you finish homaru first?

Touma: I don't know her character well and she doesn't have much memory to collect to be able to make her a human-like robot. It is best for Airi to be created first since her character is clear and I examined her brain to collect all her memories to the disk.

Yuu: How come you destroyed homaru instead of keeping her parts so you can build her when you have the parts?

Touma: I created Airi with Homaru parts except the unfinished disk for her memory.

Yuu: So, you did made the disk for her?

Touma: Yes, but it wasn't enough memory.

Yuu: What do you mean it wasn't enough?

Touma: Most of her memories were not good to remember, so I didn't had enough memory in the disk since there was only a few amount of memories in her brain. I also think it was best to let her rest instead of living and going to the same trial.

  I stood quiet... I was honestly speechless. I didn't think Homaru would have little memories that were happy. I didn't think she would suffer to the point of having very little amount not even close to finish the disk and create her as a human-like robot.

Touma: Is there any more questions you would like me to answer?

Yuu: Yes there is...

Touma: What is it?

Yuu: How was my sister like?

Touma: She was very kind to others but never opened up about her problems.

  After talking some more I found out it was really not my parents fault for leaving Homaru with Touma. They just wanted what's best for her. However, I wonder why they lied of not knowing her?

  Do I still need more information or do I already have it in front of me?

  The part of me is relief that she wasn't created. Since she was kind and didn't say anything about herself it would be difficult to know what's wrong. Since she would keep everything to herself we won't be aware what's inside the box but rather outside of it.

  Like Touma said " I also think it was best to let her rest instead of living and going to the same trial."

  She wouldn't progress and go against obstacles but if she's not willing to grasp something for her to lean on but rather suffer alone with no one to hear her voice in great sorrow.

[The next morning in Airi's room]

I changed to my uniform and walked to school freezing too death. Luckily Touma made something so the metals won't get frozen from the cold.

"Ugh I hate the cold so much-"

  Just then the mouse appeared out of my pocket going to my shoulder.

Airi: Get away from me you rat!

  I tried moving my shoulder to get it off me.

The mouse didn't even move an inch which really made me annoyed.

"Why did Touma made a mouse instead of something cute?"

I crossed my arms looking at the mouse with full irritation.

Airi: I'll let you stay for now.

Mouse: Squeek

Airi: -_- Ugh

[In school]

As I walk to my lockers I see a group of girls covering my locker with their bodies in front of it.

Before going up to them I hid the mouse in my pocket.

Airi: Excuse me?

Nana: you are excused

  She said with a very annoying tone, almost losing my temper when she gave me a smirk.

"Calm down... take deep breaths."

My temper went down and I look at Nana with a serious expression.

Airi: you are in the way.

Nana: So?

Airi: I need my books

Nana: I didn't ask you.

  She pushed my shoulder making me move back a little while smirking even more.

Airi: I don't need to ask you. Now move.

Nana: You don't tell me what to do!

  Students started to gather around us wanting to know what's all the commotion about.

Airi: As a matter a fact I do need to tell you since you don't know the definition of "move" means.

  I pushed her button and she signal the girls to grab a hold of me. That's when the crowd started gathering more and became loud.

  Little did the poor little girl know I was recording her by using the mouse.

Nana: I do know, but you are too stupid to understand who I am.

Airi: I do know.

Nana: Then, who am I?

She smirked proudly.

Airi: Nana

Nana: I didn't mean that, you scum.

Airi: last time I checked I wasn't a scum but a human. You seriously need glasses.

  I sighed in annoyance but tried making it seem that her words aren't annoying my ears. In the other hand I see that she was red with anger and embarrassed and pulled my collar ready to hit me.

  Out of nowhere a shout came across the hall showing Mr. Yuji.

  As Nana heard his voice she punched herself and fell to make it seem I hit her.

  The students moved away to make room for Mr. Yuji since he had a very scary look on his face.

  Mr. Yuji looked at the scene of Nana on the floor and looked back at me with shocked and disappointment.

Mr. Yuji: Did Airi hurt you?

  Nana began fake crying answering him with a yes.

Mr. Yuji: Go to the office Airi. You'll be getting detention after school.

Airi: But I didn't do it-

Mr. Yuji: You'll get another detention for lying.

  I immediately stopped myself from provoking him and just went straight to the principal's office.
