Chapter 1.5

The two Goddess

4C Lover Company Building, Tokyo, Japan

April 20, 3100

4C Lover Limited is the world’s no.1 Technological related Company. They are the no.1 distributor of gadgets, weaponries, appliances and medicines, etc. The company was established on November 3000 by the Kuroh Family Ancestors. The company assists the government in different ways. Though the real history behind the establishment of this company is still a mystery to everyone but due to the fact that the company helps lots of people in good ways the mystery stayed unrevealed. Up until this day the company continues growing.

“Akemi, wait for me!”   Usagi yelled as she runs toward the lad. “Don’t leave me behind!”

“Ah! I’m sorry I didn’t notice you.” He explained to the young girl beside him.

Kuroh Akemi, 12 years old, is a 3^rd year middle school student at Mische Academy. He is the 4C Lover Company CEO’s only son. At his young age he is already working for his father company as a manager on trainee, a preparation for succeeding his father’s position. He is based on New Development department. He is a very handsome young boy yet because of his status he became introverted to the world. He rarely smiles and he acts very mature for his age. He has a very awkward relationship with his father who is very busy with an invention he isn’t yet allowed to know. He always got mad easily and scold people around him easily except to Usagi who’s been beside him since they were still a baby.

“Are you still thinking about what your father said?” Usagi said to the young boy who had been acting strange since the meeting this morning,” I know your father didn’t mean what he said. I’m sure of that!”

The young girl said trying her best to cheer the boy beside her.

“Thanks Usagi.” Akemi politely said.

Maki Usagi, 12 years old, is a 3^rd year middle school student at Mische Academy like Akemi. She is t the only daughter of the owner of Maki Trading Company. And like Akemi she currently being trained at 4C Lover Company. She is Akemi’s girlfriend and as well his future wife. She is a very lovable and nice girl who’ll do everything for the person she likes.

“No, I’m glad I could help you.” She answered with a very big smile on her face.

The two then continued walking until both of them arrived at their destination. They were about to enter the office when the door on the other side opened and a woman came out.

“Oh! Usagi, you’re already here,” The woman said.

“Mom!” Usagi shouted as she run towards the woman. “Since when did you come back?”

“I came back last night because something occurred on the invention field.” She explained. “How are you, Akemi?”

“I’m fine, Mrs. Maki,” Akemi replied with a kind voice and bowed his head a little.

Maki Yanami, 33 years old, is the mother of Usagi and the wife of the Maki Trading Company’s CEO.  She is a famous doctor who works at the Invention Department of 4C Lover Company. She is also working in a hospital in Germany at the same time.

“I’m glad.” She answered. “By the way, I’ll be going first. I’m going home to get a bit of rest.” The lady said before leaving the two again.

“Have your mom told you about their invention?” Akemi asked. He was very curious about the invention his father and Akemi’s mother had been working for these past years. Up until now the thing had been confidential for them.

“No, but I’ve heard it was about a project called Sonata.” Usagi explained. “But I still don’t know the other details though.”

“So it was the same to you...,” The young lad said with disappointment in his voice. He had been curious about that Sonata project that his father and his ancestors had been working for the past few years. Though he knows that someday the day that he’ll be doing the same will surely come. The urge inside to know the thing he had been cursing since her mother’s death.

At the age of 5 Akemi’s mother died in a car accident. His father never showed up at the burial since then he hated his father especially the Sonata that took all of his father’s time. Up until now the reason for his living was to destroy that project. He never plans on succeeding his father position at all.

“Akemi, Let’s go?” Usagi invited. The two then entered the office for the ND Department Members.

Now they were working for a game gadget called “VSR Gamepod” a gadget that can create another body of the user in the game field where she/he can move freely on the virtual world called Mische. The game field is like the real world yet everything are made by programs.

“Ake! Usagi!” the senior member called out to the young members who’ve just arrived a while ago.   

“What’s wrong, Reon?” Akemi asked politely. “Is there something wrong with our new gadget?”

Dreii Reon, 15 years old, is a 3^rd year junior high student at Haname Technology Center Academy. Like Usagi and Akemi he also came from a good family and is under strict training at 4C Lover Company. He is a good friend of Akemi and Usagi.

“No, there’s nothing wrong,” he answered. “It’s just that the trial version of VSR gamepod is already finished. Would you give it a system try?”

“Okay, sure.” He replied. “Just put it on my table I’ll try it out later after passing the contract to the other department.”

“Then I’ll just leave the rest to you.” Reon said. “I’m going back first because I have a class this afternoon. Bye Usagi! Ake!” The young lad said before leaving the two. The two was about to sat on their chair to their jobs when the door suddenly opened again. The two both looked at the direction of the door.

“Hi guys! Did you see my brother?” A girl with a short hair and pale white skin asked.

“Oh, Aimie!” Usagi greeted to the girl who was standing near the door. “Reon just left a few minutes ago. He said his going to school already”

Dreii Aimie, 13 years old, is a 1^st year junior highschool student at Haname Technology Center Academy. She is the younger sister of Reon and Usagi’s bestfriend. She is also a member of ND Department who is working for the outside affairs of the department.

“Eh? Is that so?” she confusedly asked. “I hurriedly went here to tell him about the thing he asked me yet he’s not here. What should I do?”

“I think he have something important to do cause he was a bit in a hurry” Akemi explained. “Try calling him?”

“I can’t... he left his phone at our house this morning.” She explained. “What should I do? I have to hurry to the airport now,”

“If you want you can just leave it here then. I’ll give it to him later on my way home.” Akemi suggested.

“Oh, Really? Thanks!” The young girl politely said. “I’ll leave it to you then, Ake! By the way would you also try that gadget, ok?” The young girl asked before leaving the two in a hurry.

“Where do you think she’s going this time, Akemi?” Usagi who’s is seated now asked.

“I think her destination is Greece this time,” Akemi replied. “Famiel asked her company to buy some materials there for our next project.”

The young boy explained while arranging the 2 gadgets inside his back pack.

“By the way, Usagi,” Akemi called out.

“Why?” The young girl who stopped from typing something in her laptop asked to her boyfriend who suddenly called her.

“I’ll be going earlier than usual today. Are you going back with me? I can at least drop you at your house,” He suggested.

“No, I still have few works I need to finish today and I’m also going to the Finance Department later to pass the report regarding the VSR.” Usagi replied. “You can go ahead.”

“Ok, but don’t push yourself so much, ok?” The young boy demanded kindly to his fiancé.

“Ok, thanks,” Usagi said with a sweet voice making Akemi smile a little.

The two then started to work making the whole office filled with the sound of keyboarding tapping and paper movements. It continued for almost an hour when the sound of a moving chair sounded inside that Department.

“Usagi, I’m going now,” Akemi said to his girlfriend whose eyes were all focus at the screen of her laptop.

“Ok, take care on your way back,” Usagi said. Her eyes were still on the laptop screen even after his boyfriend left.

“Sir Akemi, the car is waiting at the entrance gate. I’ll guard you there,” Akemi’s driver said to his young master with respect. As his young master went to the side of the car, the driver opened the door at the back seat so her young master could enter already.

Akemi entered from the right back seat of his black BMW. As he was on its way to enter the car, a limousine suddenly stopped at the back of their car. Akemi stopped to see who’ve just came.

The driver seat’s door of the limousine opened and a young man wearing a black suite that looks like the limousine driver went out and opened the door on the back seat. From that side a woman went out together with a young girl aged around 15-17 years old based on her height. She was wearing a simple gothic style black and pink stripes dress and somehow half of her face was hidden with a pink gas mask. Her eyes were beautiful with its sky colored contact lens. Her skin was pale white and she looks very fragile somehow just by looking at her makes a person wants to protect her. And with her long black silky hair leaning on her pure white yet pale skin she looked like a real goddess. Akemi felt his heart almost skipped a beat for a moment there.

 “Sonata, let’s go?” The woman who looks like the girl’s mother talked. The woman aged around 35- 40 years old and somehow she doesn’t resemble any traits of the young girl beside her. “Just hold onto my arm, ok?”

“Thank you, Lisette.” The girl politely replied. The girl then hold on to the old lady’s arm while walking. The two then entered the 4C Lover Building leaving the young boy startled there.

“She’s blind?” Akemi whispered to his self feeling a sudden pain inside his chest. He pitied the young girl yet it felt different, a feeling he can’t distinguish yet. A familiar feeling yet he can’t define.

“Sir Akemi, Is there something wrong?” The bodyguard asked to his young master who seemed to be acting strange.

“No, it’s nothing,” the young boy said before entering the car. “Send me to my house, Kon but before that I’ll drop by Haname Tech. Academy to meet Reon,” The young master coldly explained to his driver.

“Ok, sir,” The driver then started the engine and took the road calmly. It will be a half hour of trip to reach their destination and another hour to his house so Akemi decided to open his laptop to do some work.

He stayed like that for the whole trip when the car suddenly stopped.

“Sir Akemi, we’ve arrived.” Kon said to his young master whose eyes were all inside his laptop screen.

“Ah, is that so?” The young master coldly replied. “Ok, I’m going now. Wait for me here.” The young boy said before coming out of his car without his driver’s help. He then walked toward the gate to talk to the guard when a young girl suddenly showed up.

“Is there something I can do for you, little boy?” The young girl said politely to the young boy.

The girl stands around 5’4 – 5’6 in height, and based on her uniform the girl seems to be a 3^rd year student at this school. She has a long wavy black hair yet half of it was tinted with brownish red dye yet they’ve looked genuine. It suits her white pure fragile skin somehow Akemi felt like she met another goddess in this girl. Her eyes resembled the eyes of the girl he just saw a while ago.

“Hey!” the girl exclaimed. “Are you alright, little boy?”

“Ah, sorry I spaced out and please stop calling me little boy.” Akemi blurted making the girl laughed at him.

“You’re weird and cute, I like you.” The girl complimented to the strange boy, making the young lad blushed. “By the way my name is Aiyuu. I’m a 3^rd year student in this school and the Student Council President. What about you?”

“I’m Kuroh Akemi, a 3^rd year middle school student at Mische Academy. It’s my pleasure to meet you.” Akemi introduced. “And I’m here to see Maki Reon to hand something important to him. He’s the same year as you, Miss Aiyuu,” he explained.

“Oh, just call me Ai. I’m weak against honorific.” She demanded with a smile.

“Okay, Ai” The boy said in a low ashamed voice making the girl laugh again.

“You’re really cute.” Aiyuu commented. “By the way if you’re looking for Reon I can show you the way to their room.”

“Really?” he asked.

“Of course!” The girl replied with an energetic voice. “Let’s go!”

The girl then pulled Akemi’s hand to lead him inside the campus when suddenly Aiyuu became strange and snapped her hand back from holding Akemi’s hand startling the young lad for a few seconds.

“I’m sorry, something felt weird inside my body.” The girl apologized.

The girl then took Akemi’s hand again and led him inside the campus. They’ve continued they’re stroll for about 5 minutes when they’ve finally reached a big building called Athena Dream the two stopped.

“You can see him there,” Aiyuu said as she pointed the room on the 2^nd right from the south at the 3^rd floor of the building. “I’m sorry but I’m not allowed to enter the Athena Dream building so I can only accompany you until here.”

“Eh, is that so?” The young lad said in surprise because somehow the girl showed a painful face. “It’s alright I can go alone from here, thank you for accompanying me here.”

“Then I’m going now, Goodbye.” Aiyuu said with a low voice at Akemi’s ears. The girl then kissed the young lad on his cheek making the boy stunned there before fading away in Akemi’s back.

“I’m wishing for the happiness of the two you. Till then my...”  The girl whispered before fading somewhere.

Somehow Akemi felt like the girl smiled beautifully to him making him felt undefined happiness inside.

“Oh! Ake, What are you doing here?” Reon shouted as he saw his friend standing blankly in front of his room building. “What’s wrong?”

“Oh nothing!” Akemi exclaimed. “By the way here,” He said as he handed a small box to his friend. “Aimie wants to give that to you but she was in a hurry so she couldn’t come here,”

“Ehh is that so?” Reon replied. “By the way can you keep and try it out for me instead?” His friends said while handing some wrist watch figure gadget to him.

“That’s a teleportation gadget that our class invented were planning to submit that on Weaponry Department but I have to configure some parts first but today I have a meeting with the student council president so I can’t test it now. Would you test it out for me?”

“Ok sure, I’ll test it out at our testing field later.” Akemi replied. “By the way can you say thank you to the student council president for me?”

“Oh sure! But why?” Reon asked. “Did you know her?”

 “She’s the one who helped me out so I was able to see you.” He explained. “But she left after sending me here. I weren’t even able to thank her properly because she left in a hurry.”

“Okay I’ll tell Yuuki.” He said before leaving his friend there. “Bye!”

“Wait Reo!!” Akemi shouted to his friend who was walking on its way to the Student Council Room. “Isn’t your student council president’s named Aiyuu?”

“No! Her name is Catherene Yuuki!” Reon answered before fading on his sight. Somehow he was startled by his friends answer because the girl she met awhile ago introduced herself as Aiyuu.

Suddenly a cold breeze of wind enveloped his whole body making him feel a sudden chill from his toe through his shoulder. He then decided to leave the place without looking back until he reached the car where his driver is waiting for him.

He entered the car in a hurry and asked his driver to drive him home.

“Who was that girl then?” He thought on his mind. He was about to get his laptop to start working again so he could forget about that girl and that incident when the car suddenly lost its control and......

“Find Sonata... I’m sorry, D...I’m...I love.” a familiar voice muttered into his ears and the face of a girl she met a while ago showed up on his mind before he lost his consciousness completely.

“Little boy! Little boy! Little boy!” An unfamiliar voice of a person shouting beside my ears and I can hear people’s foot steps. I tried to open my eyes but my whole body felt tired. It felt like a run from a long marathon, that I went from a long journey. I can’t even lift the lids of my eyes so I just gave in with the tiredness inside me.
