After they have collected their bags from the airport, Harlan followed Ai through the airport, taking in the sight of the massive airport that was around him. Compared with this airport, the airports in New York and San Francisco were deserted. The outside of the building was just as busy, with the cars stuck in traffic and the crowds being big enough to swallow anyone walking inside it for a while, while the crowd dragged them back as well. He followed her to the area where the taxis were and called for one. A stout Asian man replied to her call, starting to speaking to both of them in Mandarin Chinese. Ai replied, leaving Harlan in confusion with the language being used. He was already bringing the bags to the back of the cab when she spoke to him. "Harlan, you could put the luggage in right?" Smiling, he nodded at her and started to put the bags in the trunk. After the bags were in and he was in the car, Harlan listened as Ai talked about the journey. "Now, it's about a half hour to an hour drive from here, depending on traffic, it could be more."

They arrived at the building that Ai's apartment was located, just finishing the conversation that they had at the back of the taxi. He pulled out most of the bags that were in the trunk, while Ai exchanged her dollars into yuan. When they have collected their bags from the pavement, they walked inside and gone up the elevator. After walking through the floor and her opening the door, they finally arrive at her home in Taiwan. Completely surprised by how lovely it looked, Harlan knew that this apartment was much better than his home in New York by a large margin. It even looked more comfortable than hers. "Here's my home, in Taiwan that is. It's been awhile since I've been to this home, but I welcome you to it."

Harlan smiled as she placed her luggage down on the floor and jumped onto the bed. Not wanting to do the same, just in case his weight broke the legs of the bed, he walked around the couch and sat down on the bed next to Ai. The room smelt different from what he was used to when he was at her apartment. As he thought about the mission ahead, his eyes started to droop, the jet lag kicking into his system now. Allowing his body to fall backwards, he laid on the bed and sighed. "The one thing I hate more than the pressure of a mission… Jet lag…"

Ai giggled as she watched him collapse onto the bed.

"The one thing I hate more than the pressure of a mission… Jet lag…"

"I would suggest you change before you curl in to fall asleep, that way you could feel more refreshed to sleep, so do you wish to shower first?" she asked, smiling as she played with his hair. She knew of course, that he could shower much quicker than she could ever, and knew that with the factor of being tired, also added itself in that he would shower only much faster. She got up from the bed and walked over to the bathroom.

"This is the shampoo, and this is the soap," she said, pointing to each as she knew that Harlan was behind her. "Shower fast because I want to shower next... unless you wish to shower together?" She raised an eye-brow, knowing that he would say yes if he wanted to, but they didn't necessarily have to do anything as it would just save water if they showered together.

Harlan got up on the bed and rubbed his eyes. He was still tired from all the excitement earlier, plus the lack of sleep he had on the plane. The two things that he was thinking of was Ai and the mission. He had guessed that Damien has betrayed them when she received the email from all of the members of the Organization. And if he ever returned to New York again, he would be glad to kill the GA leader for betraying them to Globodex and Dr Harkess. However, he wanted to know why Ai's Organization wanted to see her in Taipei. He got up and walked to the bathroom with Ai, with her pointing out where the shampoo and soap were. "Shower fast because I want to shower next... unless you wish to shower together?" He raised his eyebrow at her, knowing what the answer was.

"Sure thing, Ai. It would help save the amount of water that we use when together than if we took separate showers." Slowly, as if he wanted to taunt her, he took off his t-shirt and jeans, leaving his boxers on. He walked over to the shower, looking at how it worked. A few seconds later, he gave her a sheepish look. "I don't really know how these types of showers work."

"Sure thing, Ai. It would help save the amount of water that we use when together than if we took separate showers."

"All right, let-" However, her sentence was cut short when what he did next distracted her as she watched him take off his shirt and pants, leaving on his boxers. Oh, she was going to get him back for that as she felt herself become hot.

A few seconds later, he gave her a sheepish look. "I don't really know how these types of showers work."

She closed the door with a soft sigh before walking over to the shower-tub and began to gesture to each of the shower's controls. "It's the same as it was back at home, it's not that hard," and then she went on to explain the general controls of it before she took a step back. If he was going to be like that, then so was she.

Making sure that she had caught Harlan's attention, she began to do a strip tease until she was fully unclothed.

"Let's get in the shower, shall we?"

Harlan watched as Ai sighed, closing the bathroom door behind her. "It's the same as it was back at home, it's not that hard." God I must feel stupid now, he thought, realizing that they were similar to those at home. It had definitely confirmed that jet lag had made him tired to not realize these things. While he took off his boxers, she had caught his attention, making him turn his head towards her. She started to undress in front of his eyes, probably getting him back for doing the same thing to her. Oh… snap… he thought, watching her finish and walk towards him, her slender frame catching his attention. She used my trick against me. She looked up at him. "Let's get in the shower, shall we?

"Sure thing, Ai," he replied. He stood back from her way, motioning an arm to the tub. "Ladies first."

"Sure thing, Ai," he replied. He stood back from her way, motioning an arm to the tub. "Ladies first."

Ai laughed at his reaction to her strip tease, as his eyes seemed to blaze again. She dared not to look near that area as she stepped into the shower and turned on the water, waiting for it to become warm before they began to shower together.

-----

After they finished and had dried, Ai headed to the bed, stretching up. She wore a nightgown that was spaghetti strapped and had pretty lace around the area of the chest and the hem of the nightgown. The gown was light colored and was made of silk so her frame was still visible through the gown as she walked through certain angles of light. She lifted up blankets and slipped in. It was so comfortable that she almost fell straight to sleep, if it weren't for the fact that she was waiting for Harlan to come into bed with her.

"Harlan..." she murmured, already feeling the drowsiness of sleep start to cover her.

As Ai walked out of the bathroom with her nightgown on, Harlan emerged from the bathroom. The only thing that he was wearing was a pair of grey pajama bottoms with blue lines crossing to form squares. It left his chest bare, his scars from the past showing. He watched her slip under the duvet of the bed, nearly falling asleep when she entered the bed. "Harlan…" she said, tiredness nearly taking her. Just as she did, he slipped under the duvet as well, feeling the warmth from her. Before falling straight asleep, he placed his right hand underneath his head and draped is left arm over her slender frame. Without another word, he fell asleep, closing his eyelids around his green eyes.

((Will add more if needed))

Ai closed her eyes as she watched Harlan get into bed. She moved herself until she was close to his chest before she fell asleep. She felt the comfort from his slow breathing and his arm that rested on her. Before she knew it, she was seeing a dream...

"You get right here, now!" her mother exclaimed, causing a young Ai to glance at her mother. "Don't make me use your full name, young lady."

"What?" she muttered as she looked towards her mother.

"Do you want us to continue using your nickname for the rest of your life?" she asked with a sigh, exasperated.

Ai looked thoughtful for a moment before muttering, "Yes... you guys gave me two first names so how could one actually like being called that?"

"But it's beautiful and wouldn't you mind me calling you just Aria?" her mother said.

"Yes, I personally think that name is much better suited for you right now," her father interjected, waking up from his apparent nap.

"Right now? I'm only twelve, how the crud does that fit me now? I'm not a... a... lioness," Ai muttered, looking down at her feet.

"But it is the name we gave you," her mother murmured as she walked close, stroking the small youth's cheek. "We thought long and hard what name would fit you and that's the names that fit you." She smiled as the dream filtered out...

Then the images of fire was everywhere. And people burning... Then, the blood on the walls...


"NOOOO!!!" she shouted as she bolted upright from her sleep. Realizing that she was only dreaming, she covered her face with her hands, brought her knees up to her chin and started to cry.

While Harlan slept, he dreamed about things, mostly about Ai. The things that they had done, the things that they were about to do and what he hoped would happen in the future. Then, all of a sudden, the dream disappeared and changed into another flashback.

Driving down the darkened road, Harlan turned to his female companion, who was laughing at something that was said earlier. Her dress was long and red, following the style of Japanese dresses, revealing the side of her right leg. Her golden eyes shone in the dim light, giving her a mesmerizing appearance that had him under a trance. Her bright, white teeth also shone out, with her blonde hair flowing onto the seats of the car. She looked at him, as if she wanted something. “Come on now, dear. I’ve always wanted to do ‘it’ in a Koenigsegg.”

“Relax, Monica,” he replied, smiling back at her for the suggestion. “I’ll make sure that it’s done when we get back to my place…” Then, three people walked out in front of them. “What the…” As soon as they pulled out sub-machine guns, his eyes widened. “Monica! Hold on!” He spun the steering wheel of the car towards the edge of the curb, pointing away from the level ground on the right. The Koenigsegg drove straight off the edge, sending the car crashing into a tree. Unfortunately for him, he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, sending him flying through the wood, crashing headfirst into a tree. How he survived, he didn’t know. He looked back as he saw Monica die in front of his eyes. The tree people, one of them being that of a woman, turned to the car, pointed silenced pistols towards the woman and fired.

“NOOOO!!!”


Harlan’s eyes snapped open, thinking that it was a part of the bad dream. However, when he noticed Ai sitting upright in bed, watching her cry, he sat upright and placed an arm on her shaking shoulders. “Was it a nightmare, Ai? Or was it something else?” He thought back to the flashback that he had, wondering who the hell he was. And who was this Monica? Why did these people try to gun them down?

“Was it a nightmare, Ai? Or was it something else?”

She turned around and leaned towards his chest, knowing that he didn't have a shirt. But she wanted comfort, to hide away the horrible images of her dying parents. After awhile and she had calmed down again, she pulled away, wiping away the last of the tears before deciding to get up to wash her face.

However, she paused partial way to the bathroom and without turning around, she spoke in a soft voice, "Harlan, I think it's time you know my real name and about me in general..." Then she disappeared into the bathroom to wash her face.

When she came back out refreshed and devoid of anything that may have showed that she was crying, she wondered what Harlan was thinking. Crawling back into bed as it was nighttime, she sat upright to glance at his expression as her eyes readjusted to the darkness again.
