The soft blue glow filled the room with a haunting twilight. The glow radiated from the hard coffin of KOS-MOS. The soft blue light cast shadows across the android's body, giving her a regal look as she slept her dreamless sleep. The door silently opened to reveal the short figure of Momo walking into the room. She stopped and watched the silent angel resting in her black coffin. She saw KOS-MOS in a new light, both literally and metaphorically. She saw every shadow draped over the android's body and felt at peace at the sight, but she couldn't help feeling nervous. Would she forgive her for how she treated her earlier? Such thoughts played through her head and even she was surprised that she had the courage to walk right up to the coffin. She stared softly at the face of the one that loved her. She saw those lips, those oh so tender and warm lips that kissed her. She couldn't help but bring her finger to her lips and traced the sensitive flesh that the android had so softly kissed. She blushed as she thought back to that moment and a renewed courage ran through her. She leaned over the edge of the coffin but she couldn't reach her destination. The bulky edges of the recharge unit combined with her own lack of height made it impossible. She put both hands on the edge and with a small grunt lifted herself so she was now sitting on the edge of the coffin. She was now unobstructed as she twisted her torso and leaned forward to plant a kiss on the androids lips. Once again those soft lips held warmth that shocked Momo. She couldn't stop herself and enjoyed every moment of that kiss as she tasted those soft lips. She had never had such a soft and caring kiss and wished that it would never end. Even she was shocked when she lifted her legs up and slipped into the coffin. Now her small frame lay on top of the android, the warmth of the mechanical angel calmed the realian of any nervousness she had left. She simply closed her eyes and let the warmth of the one that loved her wash over her body like the gentle waves of an artificial beach. She wasn't sure how long she wandered between the edge of sleep but a motion suddenly caused her to open her eyes. KOS-MOS had brought her arms around Momo's small frame and held her close. Momo looked up at the face of the android and was greeted by two crimson eyes looking back at her. "KOS-MOS...I want to apologize for how I acted, and that I..." She trailed off just before kissing KOS-MOS. The android had a soft look on her face and a smile crept across her lips. Momo then whispered, "Just promise me...You'll always be with me." KOS-MOS tightened her hold around Momo and replied tenderly, "Even when my circuits fail I'll forever be by your side." Momo startled giggling and KOS-MOS looked at her quizzically, "What? Did I say something funny?" Momo kept giggling and stopped herself only by locking lips with the blue haired angel. "It's nothing. Nothing at all." She said with a smile. KOS-MOS leaned forward for another kiss and Momo flung her arms around the androids neck. "I love you Momo." Momo returned the kiss and softly replied, "I love you to KOS-MOS." This kiss was longer then the others and seemed to last forever. When KOS-MOS broke the kiss she soon discovered that Momo had fallen asleep. She adjusted her position just enough to make the young realian's sleep more comfortable. She herself soon fell back to her dreamless sleep wishing that she would one day be able to dream of the person she loved. "Momo...Momo wake up." The young realian slowly opened her eyes to the gentle rocking of the android that had fallen in love with her. "Mmm...What's the matter?" KOS-MOS brushed a pink strand of hair out of Momo's face. "Shion is on her way here. I suggest you get off of me soon." Momo nestled back down onto her and said in a dreamy tone, "Why bother she is going to find out soon eventually." KOS-MOS spoke with a sad tone in her voice, "I just don't want her to start examining me. I know she will and she might think my feelings for you are just some glitch or something." Momo got to her knees and crawled out of the black coffin, she began to miss the warmth she had felt. "I understand KOS-MOS." She straightened her hair and looked over her outfit to make sure she looked normal. "Anyway. How did you know she was coming?" KOS-MOS gave a rare smirk, "I track her connection gear 24-7 so I know exactly were she is at all times." Momo put both hands and leaned over the edge of the coffin as KOS-MOS lay completely flat and closed her eyes. She was close enough to her to kiss her and wondered if she had enough time but the door suddenly opened and the voice of Shion could be heard, "Like I told you earlier, I believe the 100-series could easily be upgraded for combat. You just need to approve the schematics and let Vector do...Oh Hey Momo." Both Shion and Jr. stepped into the room. Jr.'s look didn't change much since he was already extremely annoyed at Shion's persistence about 100-series being combat worthy. Although he did look visibly surprised at the sight of Momo. He didn't say anything as he headed for the door but turned his head to look at Shion out of the corner of his eye, "Shion if you request such an upgrade you need to talk to both heads of the Kukai Foundation. Send a full report of the schematics, stop pestering me!" His voice dripped with the new acid he had discovered. "Well...Oh well. Why are you up so early Momo?" Shion asked with smile. Momo searched her memory for something. No. Anything to say to the Vector employee. "I...um...Had a...bad dream...about KOS-MOS...you know very vivid! I came here then you two showed up." Shion smiled softly, "That makes sense. I myself sometimes have bad dreams about KOS-MOS to." Momo mentally slapped Shion for being so trusting and bent over the coffin again to look at the face of her lover. "She has a beautiful face." She said knowing exactly how Shion would reply. "Why thank you. Kevin designed the frame but I designed the out epidermis layer as well as..." "Alright that's enough Shion." Momo interrupted knowing how long the scientist could talk about the android. "Damn it Shion! Why does she keep pestering me about petty upgrades?" Jr. yelled storming through the hallways of the Elsa towards the exit. Hammer walked through the door only to be pushed back in by the short U.R.T.V. "Damn it! I don't want to send the 100-series into combat! We have A.M.S. and A.W.G.s and E.S. as well as ACTUAL combat realians!" His voice dripped venom and his voice was heard only by Hammer who was still standing up. "I won't send them out onto the battle field...even...even if he made them...and they look like her!" He said under his breath and he stormed towards the elevator that would take him to his office. He reached the elevator and punched the panel with his fist. His red cloak rustling as he stepped into the small glass elevator. He crossed his arms trying to calm down. Just before the doors close a hand blocked its path and reopened for the new visitor. "Leave me alone Gaignun!" Jr. yelled with pure malice. The taller U.R.T.V. simply leaned against the glass wall on the opposite side of the elevator and said, "So you hate him, but you won't let those reminders he left you go away. I believe humans call that irony." Jr. grunted, "Trying to wax philosophy on me again?" Gaignun faked offence at the remark, "Oh I am so appalled by your statement..." He looked out the window to see a few 100-series lounging in the park. "...It's not about the upgrade is it?" Jr. snorted and vengefully replied, "What else could there be?" Gaignun unfolded his arms and slid his slender hands into his pockets. "The 101-Series will be finish in three months...once their here you will have to discontinue use of the 100-series." Jr. grunted, "Why the hell would you care!" He yelled knowing exactly were this conversation was going. "The 100-series were the last observational realians made by Mizrahi lads...the 101-series are being built by the Hyams Industry and they look nothing like Sakura." Jr. uncrossed his arms but his fists were still clenched in rage, "You think I enjoy being reminded of the only woman I ever loved?!" Gaignun looked serious for a moment, "My guess if that you don't want to forget your failure." The door of the elevator opened and the two of them stepped out, Jr.'s knuckles were white now and he could barely handle the voice of his younger brother. "I know you care for Sakura a lot but..." He was cut off by Jr.'s fist landing hard against his rib cage. "I told you to leave me the hell alone!" Jr. stormed down the hallway towards his office. Gaignun could hear the door slam shut like a bolt of lightening. He then looked at the 669 stamped on his hand. "You sounded just like your twin at that moment...I wish he was still here. He was the only one who ever could get through to you." He looked over his shoulder as if expecting someone to be there but no one was. He thought to himself making sure Jr. didn't hear his thoughts. Oh Albedo. Even with all you had done he still listened to you. I can't even brake his shell...even with how much I care for my brothers. He turned to head for his office, I know you hated me for loving you but...I wish you could have been here to help me. Gaignun searched the back of his brain for any sign of the dead U.R.T.V. but like always found nothing. "I guess we all have to struggle to put things in the past." He almost jumped at the voice behind him. "Put what in the past Masta Gaignun." Came the voice of Mary. He turned around after quickly changing his composure. He flashed a gentle smile. "Nothing Mary, would you happen to know were your sister is? I need some of the upgraded start charts she had been analyzing." Gaignun continued his personal fa‡ade while the two of them walked down the hallway.
