Yashimoto
got up and started to walk to the door. Lucas hastily grabbed his arm
before he left.
"You have some explaining to do," Lucas said in a
calm voice.
Yashimoto took a deeo breath and sat down on the couch.
"I met Cybersix a few months ago. She saved my little sister and I
from Jose. Jose threatened to kill Ikiko if I didn't track down Cybersix,
so I had no choice. I found Cybersix' secret
idenity. Do you
know?"
Lucas looked coldy at the floor.
"Yes. I do now." he
said.
"She had to lie to you. For her sake and everyone else's."
Yashimoto explained.
Lucas looked over to Cybersix, who by now, was
breathing normally, but still asleep
"I have to go now. Here are
more canesters of sustenace. You do realize you have to find more, right?"
Yashimoto commented as he picked up his bag.
Lucas nodded, still
looking at Cybersix.
Yashimoto walked out the
door.
"Yashimoto!" Lucas called before he left
Yashimoto
turned around
"Thankyou," Lucas said with a greatful look on his
face.
Yashimoto bowed, then walked silently out the
door.
Lucas was now alone with Cybersix. Thoughts flooded his
troubled mind once again. He placed his hand on Cybersix's cheek. She was
warmer than before, and dryer. She was going to survive the
night.
A breeze brushed across Lucas' face. He had left the windo
open, just incase Cybersix returned. He remeber the first time she came
through his window. He could remeber everything about that night. How big
and strong that Fixed Idea was against him, but how weak it was compaired
to Cybersix. He looked at the wooden floor. The hole from the fist
sustenace burn was still there. He smiled.
Suddenly, he heard a
faint cry.
"Lucas?" Cybersix wispered.
Lucas spun around to
see Cybersix, her dark eyes were half open and trying to stay that
way.
He almost ran to her side. Her clapsed her hand into his. Cybersix
held on tightly as if she was never going to see him again.
"Lucas,
I'm sorry." she said. Hot tears streked sown her exhausted face. She
started to shake. Lucas could feel it.
"No, it's ok. Cybersix. It's
ok," Lucas said. He placed his hands on her face. She quickly
calmed
down.
Part of Cybersix wanted to get up and run away from him, to
casue him no more pain.
The other, wanted to stay with him forever and
hold him. That part was the strongest.
She needed to tell Lucas
everything. About her life. And why she ran away from it.
Lucas
held her in is arms with a comforting hug. Cybersix hugged back and
wouldn't let
go. Her eyes moved to the empty vial beside her bed. Then
to the glasses that lay neatly on Lucas' coffee table. The ones that
belong to Adrian.
"You know the truth now. I am Adrian." Cybersix
said in a weak voice.
"Yes." Lucas commented. "I understand. You
had to hide."
Cybersix smiled. She rested her head on the pillow.
She looked out the window beside the bed. The stars shone brightly
under the moon. Millions of tiny stars. Cybersix had never seen them
before because the night sky was usually cloudy.
Perhaps this was a
sign of a new life for Cybersix and Lucas. Only time will tell.
