Chapter 11

"Yuudai.." A voice called out. "Yuudai!"

Yuudai woke up, he had tears on his face.

"I've been having those dreams after Melinda mentioned Yuito" Yuudai thought to himself. He looked at the time, it was 5 AM.

He decided to wake up and prepare some breakfast, he heard snoring in the living room.

"Hm?" Yuudai looked at the couch, Emi was sleeping there peacefully.

Yuudai walked to the kitchen and prepared some food.

"Why am I having those dreams again?" Yuudai asked himself while he cooked.

A few minutes later, he finished and sat beside the sleeping Emi.

"I don't remember a lot about Yuito" He said to himself while he placed his plate on the table. "I also don't want to remember..."

Those painful memories and all the sadness he had to go through, but...

He looked at Emi with a smile.

Without those memories he wouldn't have met Emi, he wouldn't have joined the WJO and met his wonderful friends, he was grateful of that.

"Eh...." Emi started waking up.

"Oh, good morning" He said with a smile.

"Gwood morning.." Emi said. "What time is it..?"

"5:30" He said.

"One more hour.." Emi said while she went back to sleep.

Yuudai slowly shook her awake. "The food will get cold"

Emi woke up. "Fine.."

She stood up and grabbed a plate to put the food in.

"Why did you wake up so early Commander?" Emi asked, curious.

"I had a nightmare" Yuudai said.

"What sort of nightmare?" Emi asked.

He was quiet, he didn't want to talk about it.

"I see..." Emi said, a bit disappointed.

"I'm sorry Emi, I just don't want to talk about it" He said.

"If that's what you want Commander" Emi said.

"Thanks for understanding" Yuudai said. "Anyways let's eat, I have a test today"

A few hours later, both of them were attending their classes. Yuudai was cautious, because one wrong move could make Melinda more suspicious of him... or that's what he thought, she stared at him a lot, she hid in obvious places and sometimes made eye contact with her.

"Is she really this dumb?" He thought to himself.

"Hey Yuudai" Emi said.

Both of them were sitting in the same bench that they always sat on.

"What's with her?" Emi pointed behind them, to a tree where Melinda was 'hiding'

Yuudai shrugged. "She's been spying on me, well, that's what I think she is doing"

"Spying? Well she's quite bad at it" Emi said loudly.

Melinda left her hiding spot. "What!? No I'm not-" She then realized her mistake, she revealed herself. "Eh.. I can explain"

"Why have you been spying me all morning?" Yuudai asked.

"Whaaat? Spying? I would never" Melinda acted.

"Melinda don't lie to us" Yuudai said.

"I'm telling you that it's nothing!" Melinda ran away, leaving Yuudai and Emi alone.

"May I ask you something Commander?" Emi kindly asked,

"Of course" Yuudai said.

"Why don't you end her right now?" Emi asked. "You have a lot of opportunities, so why decide to save her?"

"I didn't know before, her name made me remember something" Yuudai said. "But now that I remember she was a childhood friend, I definitely have to save her."

"She doesn't need saving" Emi said. "You heard her, she believes in the government and she doesn't have like a chip on her brain"

"She believes the government because of lies" Yuudai said. "Unlike the past, now they're hiding the dark truth"

"If that's what you wish" Emi said. "We'll do everything to help her"

Yuudai hugged her, that suprised Emi a bit.

"Thank you, thank you very much" Yuudai said.

"O-Of course..." Emi said a bit embarrassed.

Yuudai realized that he was hugging her. "Oh, my mistake" he let go and backed away.

"It's fine" Emi regained her composure.

Yuudai checked his watch, he realized it was almost time for his class. He waved Emi goodbye and left.

"He hugged me again" Emi said very happy.

"Yeah he did" Mika said, sitting beside her.

"Mika!?" Emi said suprised.

Emi cleared her throat and regained her composure again.

"Mika, how did you get here?" Emi asked.

"Through the gates" Mika said.

"But some guards should have stopped you" Emi said.

"Oh them, I just told them I came here to deliver something to you" Mika said.

Emi sighed. "So, what do you want?" she asked.

"You've been requested to participate in an important mission" Mika said.

"Can't it wait?" Emi asked.

"Nope, this is a hostage situation" Mika said. "We two are the only ones free"

"Well I don't have any classes right now, so it will be okay" Emi said.

"Yay! A mission with Emi!" Mika said loudly and cheerfully.

"Shhh! You'll blow our cover!" Emi said.

"Oh yeah" Mika said. "Well let's go"

Mika walked cheerfully, with Emi following behind her, starting to get tired of her.

"A mission with Emi, we are undefeated" Mika said while she hummed and skipped to Emi's parked car.

"Why am I with her?" Emi asked herself. "I could have gone solo"

"So how's your relationship with Comman- I mean Yuudai?" Mika asked, while she entered the passenger seat.

"Going well" Emi said, while she entered the driver seat.

They both put their seatbelts on and started the car.

"So comfy" Mika said. "Hmm?" She picked something from the passenger side glove compartment. It was a picture of Yuudai, Emi and her sister, in some sort of park.

"Hey! No touching things!" Emi janked it out from her hands and placed it on the glove compartment on her side.

"So, where we heading?" Emi asked.

"I'll put it on the car's GPS" Mika wirelessly connected to her GPS, the location was a factory of candy, in a field.

"It will be more faster flying there" Emi said.

Emi touched some buttons in the pad, a voice played.

"Activating hover engine"

"Activating hover thrusters"

The car started floating.

"Battery 100%"

"Scanning for problems"

"Is this the latest hover car?" Mika asked.

"The latest release in the Nakashima Car Company" Emi said.

"Scan complete, ready to fly"

Emi hit the gas and they both flew away, very fast.
