Senseless Abyss (Zero-One Fanfic)

-Chapter 24

"What is going on? Aruto didn't seem like he knew that you would be here." Then again, I would have done that to me too. I don't want to see Yua's face.

"He must have been worried that Yua would come down here with me. So, he probably opted not tell you about it. Uh...we should get to the room before we talk about what is going on here. Come." Isamu points towards where Aruto went. "We should get going."

I nod and turn, stepping towards where they went to. Isamu asked him to come here for what? Something silly? No...someone is violating a law or something and A.I.M.S. is about to deal with it.

I stop and turn to Kairi. "Can I speak with you for a moment? Isamu, go ahead, please."

"Alright. Be there quick." Isamu moves ahead, leaving me with Kairi.

I lean in and look around, staring at the fancy looking walls. "Did you do what I asked you to? You know, about the other companies that existed when Daybreak Town perished?" I need to figure out what happened that day and who was all there.

"Yes, I looked into all the companies there and one stood out to me. ZAIA Enterprise was one of the companies that worked with Hiden Intelligence during it, despite them being rivals in the industry," Kairi tells me.

"ZAIA?" I look away, biting my cheek. So, they're out there somewhere. My guess is that they're being secretive right now and are going to jump back into the swing of things at some point. But how?

"Is that all you need to know?"

"Yes." I look back at her and nod. "That is good enough for me. If you find anything on ZAIA, tell me, okay? I want you to look into them."

"Understood."

I turn to the room they went into and open the door, letting myself in. Kairi takes the door, following me into the room, and I look around. That is the sound booth area! This is the recording studio!

"Meow!"

"Seine is the one currently meowing," Kairi tells me.

I look at the girl meowing, who looks absolutely pretty, and turn to Isamu as he looks over something. What is he up to? He's seriously up to no good.

I step up to him, looking him in the eyes. "You're here because someone is violating a law, right? I may not know all the laws very well, but I can tell when one is broken. A.I.M.S. wouldn't be here if it was just a typical case of a HumaGear doing something normal."

"You don't know all the laws? Well, do you know the one about the personalization of HumaGears?" Isamu asks.

"Sort of." I honestly have no clue.

He looks me in the eyes and leans in a bit. "A.I. Law Article Six, Mari."

"And?"

"It states that the creation of androids, HumaGears, with the appearance of another person is forbidden without the consent of that person," he states, explaining the law. I have totally violated that law by having Kairi made.

"Is it alright if I go and get some air?" This is bothering me now. What if someone figures out who I made Kairi look like?

"Are you alright?"

I nod. "I am fine." Not.

~.~

I stare at the stage, standing at the side of it unlike the others out there. Aruto isn't with me, because he couldn't bust his way to where I am, and Izu is right at his side. No A.I.M.S. to bother me right now. Everything is right in the world.
