Automated Uke

Chapter 1: I Found An Android!

"The guy should be coming back on any time now," said Franky.

The group and myself then rushed in to see the pale boy still lying there. We watched as his arm flinched and his facial features expressed one of pain.

He then began to open his eyes and revealed attractive crystal blue orbs.

"Where am I?" was the first thing that came out of the boy's mouth.

I smiled and said, "You're on my ship!"

"Ship?" questioned the android as he tilted his head to the side. "I was supposed to be getting food for my master..."

I found myself pouting slightly at this news.

"Guess that means you have to return then," I said with a sigh.

The boy then got out of bed, but sat right back down as he clutched at his head.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I..." said the boy as he shook his head. "I... I don't know where he is. I don't know where my master is."

"What do you mean?" asked Franky. "Aren't you supposed to have a tracker on you?"

The boy bit down on his lip as he nodded. "I think... My master... He... Removed that information."

"How?" asked Robin.

"I don't know," said the boy. "My master made the androids... He's brilliant and bright. I don't know. The only information I have is my human memories and my name, including my human one. I also don't have his name. I didn't always call him 'master'... I called him something else."

"Did your master make you shut down?" asked Franky.

"I think so," the boy muttered. He then shook his head. "He promised that we would stay together... He said that we would remain together no matter how many of my "siblings" he sold. I was the reason he started making my "siblings" in the first place! So, why leave me with all but his name and location? It doesn't make any sense!"

I watched as the boy stood to his feet. He looked hurt. I didn't like it.

"Um..." I said. What was I supposed to say? How could I make this better? "I don't know so much about what's going on, but... I was wondering could we get your name?"

That was horrible. I didn't even make sense.

The boy looked at me in shock. He then nodded and said, "My name used to be Yukine. As a android with numbers and all that, it's BL-R-18+_Uke_Neko_1. Master called me UkeNe, short for Uke Neko... Also, it pretty much sounded the same as my all human name. I honestly don't know what he was thinking renaming, but I was happy anyway."

So... Ukene... That's a pretty cute name. ^.^

"Mine's Monkey D. Luffy!" I cheered happily. "But, you can call me Luffy!"

Ukene giggled slightly and said, "Nice to meet you, Luffy."

Everyone then introduced themselves to Ukene.

Ukene seemed to feel a bit better. That's good.

"Have you tried checking your internal contract?" asked Franky as he still tried to help Ukene.

Ukene nodded. "The contract is burned. There's none..."

"If I understand this whole android thing correctly," said Nami. "Doesn't that mean that you'll be shutting down again? Permanently if you don't make another contract?"

Ukene looked away. "Yes; I'll be turned off."

I gasped slightly. That's not good!

"Can I make a contract with you?!" I exclaimed.

"Huh?" asked Ukene as he looked at me with slightly widened eyes.

I nodded and said, "Let's make our own contract."

Ukene looked at me with wide eyes. "But-"

"No but's," I said back.

Ukene bit down on his bottom lip. "Do you even know what a Uke bot is?"

"That's not important," I said as I shook my head.

"Yes it is!" argued back Ukene.

I shook my head. "Franky! How do you make contract?"

Franky blinked. "You just kiss the android anywhere, but I don't think that's a good idea."

"Why not?" I asked.

"Because the Uke Bots are meant for people-"

I interupted by giving Ukene a kiss on the forehead.

Ukene gasped in shock and backed away from me.

"Now," I said as I smiled. "What's a Uke Bot?"
