Tokyo, Japan. 15:33.

The Tokaido Shinkansen train is due for arrival.

There are courtesy signs posted around the platform. Smoking is prohibited at the train station, but there is a man lighting one up under the escalator. Further down the railway a parked shopping cart faces away from the other would-be passengers. Few people from the morning rush had any time to spare for their curiosities, leaving the contents of this trolley unchecked through noon. It was not until a group of school kids playing truant had ambled up to the trolley that the cat-eared android was discovered.

"Hey hey hey, check out this babe."

"Dude, that's no babe." His friend responded with a mild look of disgust, "See that leg."

They both recoiled when the robotic limb twitched and sparked, seemingly unprovoked. The girl however did not show any signs of being activated.

"Uwaaooh... That looks like the one my uncle sells in Akihabara."

He stopped talking, turning to his friend with dollar spangled eyes. The young kid didn't really have to say anymore than that. Without another word, (but perhaps a few mischievous chuckles between them,) the boy with the most leader presence planted his hands on the handlebars and began to steer the trolley away, his lap dogs crowding around in order to block the view of others.

"Young boy. Please stop what you are doing..." The voice eerily matched a human in almost every manner. It caused some of the boys to look over their shoulder in search of a third party, only to find out that it came from the damaged android. She pointed to the moderately sized cardboard resting on her lap which read: 'MY NAME IS NYUU-CHAN.. PLEASE HELP ME GO TO MARIA ANNINGS AT HYAKUJI HIGHSCHOOL, HYAKUJI CITY.'

"Unless you intend to help me....." The voice grow slightly troubled. "Nyuu does not want to go with you!"

"Oh hellloooo." Dante mused as he appeared in front of the trolley in a burst of speed. "What are you?" He peered over at Nyuu, ignoring the other boys.

Why was Dante here you ask? Well he felt like having a shopping trip to Tokyo. It wasn't really much of an effort for someone who can break the sound barrier to reach the city in a reasonable amount of time. He looked at the sign on the gynoid's lap. "Heading to Hyakuji eh?" He cupped his hand to his chin. "Now why would you be looking for my science teacher?" Yet another question was poised at the gynoid.

It was then that Dante noticed that there were others present. "You can all leave now guys." He said, waving his hand to the side as if he was brushing them off. "I'll take it from here."

Hmm. Dante was being rather helpful to the gynoid. Why was that?

Well he was interested in learning how the machine worked. He had never really had many interactions with such major robotics before. Perhaps if he offered to help her, he could get a chance to see how she worked.

"Pft. You'll take it from here? No you won't." The trolley rattled as he jerked, it, and Nyuu away from the newcomer.

"What makes you think we can't take her there ourselves? Little robot, we'll totally help you." The boy asked, showing no signs that he was intimidated by the red haired stranger. Then, his look of cock-sureness at turned to confusion... Had he been on the platform all this time? Surely a foreigner would have stood out and caught their attention earlier than only now when he'd spoken up. "Yeah boys. Hyakuji.... where the heck is that again?" The kid's ignorance being the only thing keeping him from wearing the same look of wide-eyed caution that his friends now had on their faces.

They didn't dare say it out loud, but Hyakuji was renown for housing a large number of... special.. people.

"Hyakuji City...." The bright voice piped up, immune to the thickness in the air. "Board the Tokaido Shinkansen train to Nagoya, then change to a Tokaido Line local train bound for Gifu. Estimated journey time......... ...... .... . . . two hours and fifteen minutes."

Shortly after she was done, the screen within her viewfinder that showed the railways website was tucked away revealing the freckled-faced teenager in her sights once again. Her starry eyes watched him for a moment, reviewing the question he had posed to her earlier.

"Hi! I'm a CAT!" The last word seemed to strike an abrupt note, as though it was squeezed in at seconds notice. "Who might you be?"

The blissful smile lingered in the air while everyone tried to process what just happened.

"eh... yeah. So, we'll be taking her now. CIAO CIAO." He then began carting Nyuu away, waving a hand to his miniature gang in order to get them moving too. Which they did apprehensively... doing their best to avoid eye contact from the westerner.

Dante smirked at the cautious looks the rest of the gang were giving him while their leader brushed him off. His smirk turned into a look of confusion when the girl in the trolley proclaimed she was a cat. "Well you are a very cute cat Nyuu-chan. My name is Dante." The redhead replied, his voice still radiating cheer and confidence.

And now the boys were trying to take the gynoid away. Not a very smart move, seeing as how Dante was rather interested in the machine. "Aww come on guys. Don't be like that." He whined, as the gang took the trolley away. Once they had turned their backs on him his face was plastered with a devilish grin. Time to have a bit of fun.

He appeared in front of the group in a burst of displaced air. "Tell you what fellas?" He raised a hand, signalling them to stop. He reached into his pocket and produced several wallets that he stole from some of the boys as he zoomed passed them. "How about we trade? The cute robot girl for your wallets?"

"Nice try, really, but everyone knows this trick by now..." Said the boy with a smirk as he reached into his pocket to pull out his.... "What..? .... Where????"

Likewise, the other guys were checking their trousers in disbelief. One even said dumbfoundedly, "Whoa. Well that explains the stroking..."

"How. How did you do that, punk?" He demanded from Dante, although the rest of the gang already had a vague idea of what was happening.

"Hey Teru.. we should get out of here.." The boy beside him cautioned, but it didn't seem as though the pack leader understood the gravity of what they were dealing with here. Pushing the cart aside with the force of his frustration, it straightened off horizontally before his friend stopped it with his hand. "Seriously. Lets just leave it this time."

"I don't believe it! Did he seriously just take ALL our wallets?"

Nyuu shook with the trolley's abrupt halt, rocking once into the side, which caused her to slam her arm against the metal bars of the shopping cart. She didn't move at all, nor did she convey a distressed expression on her face. All the gynoid did was sit quietly as she reviewed the footage she'd captured through her lens.

"Ding don~ The Tokaido Shinkansen bound train is now arriving," the intercom spoke.

"Yes." She finally piped up, stopping the young Japanese boy who was now nose to nose with the red head. Continuing nonchalantly, she added, "I saw Dante-sama take them from you."

"No flippin' way! There ain't no one on this planet who can--" Then, he stopped. It was mid sentence that Teru realized it. The forgotten bunch down at Freak-City. "Oh man, you're not for real, right?" He loosened his tense and intimidating, (well, as intimidating as a young punk like him could be,) stance and ambled back from Dante with open arms. "Come on, we cool right? You can have the gal, we don't want any trouble, seriously." He held his hand out, hoping to receive their belongings back. "Yeah. Come on, lets trade now."

But he was well aware that his friend still held possession of Nyuu.

"Ahh, It's that moment of dawning comprehension I live for." Dante smirked as the hooligans backed up. He casually tossed their wallets towards them in an underhand throw. Most likely when their eyes were looking up to track their airborne wallets, Dante would rush past them again. Seemingly teleporting to the side of the trolley.

"You called me Dante-sama. Why was that? A note of confusion in his voice. He had just met the gynoid. Why was she using an honorific like that?

He laid his arms on the side of the trolley, peering in at the girl. "Why the interest in Hyakuji anyway?" At this point Dante had completely ignored the other boys. His attention was turned back to the robot who believes it is a cat.

"Sustained damage to the upper thigh apparatus has left Nyuu incapable of performing her duties." she answered simply, all while the limb cackled and sparked. "My interest in Hyakuji? ... That is because Yui-chan ordered me to go to this city specifically. There is a female citizen that is capable of fixing Nyuu who resides there .... In addition, Nyuu assumed Dante-sama to be a human..... therefore the utmost respect must be bestowed upon you, sir."

In the meantime while she explained all this, the boys gripped their belongings with an iron fist.

"hey hey hey," he cooed, ambling back into the foreigner's space..... Holding a Stanley knife to the stranger's throat as Dante leaned over the robotic female. "I know we said we could trade, but now..... I suddenly got a change of heart."

Looking around him, the other boys too had revealed their weaponry, including fully fledged wooden swords, and a metal pipe rounded up seemingly from out of their school bags. Tapping the tip of the pole against his opened palm, the leader spoke up,

"You wanna re-negotiate??"

Interesting. The girl was told to go there for repairs. Makes sense, his science teacher was supposed to be rather skilled in robotics. Perhaps if he brought the gynoid to her Dante would be allowed to watch the repairs and learn something.

"It's your lucky day Nyuu-chan." Dante smiled, deciding that he was taking this girl home with him. "I'm from Hyakuji and will happily escort you there myself." He waved his hand to the side. "No need for honorifics. Just call me Dante. If you really want, use kun or chan. No need to be so formal"

It was then that he felt the cold touch of the knife against his throat. Not freaking out, since this was not the first time he had been threatened. "Sure thing buddy." His voice still cheerful.

In a display of superhuman speed, the knife would be wrenched away from Dante's throat. His other hand moving to dislocate the leader's thumb, having once read how to do so in an old book about hand to hand combat. He then zoomed past the rest of the group, snatching up their weapons at a speed the human eye would have a great deal of trouble following.

He stacked the stolen weapons in a neat pile further away from the main group. With that all done, the leader of the thugs would find the cold touch of steel against his own throat, courtesy of Dante's own Bowie knife. "What else are you guys offering me?" His voice still radiating cheer and confidence, but his eyes held a cold glint.

They could have just let well enough alone and walked away. But instead they had to threaten violence. Dante had no intention of harming the boys. They were just stupid kids in over their heads. If they persisted, he would show off some more in an effort to scare them off. It's not like they were in anyway a threat to him.

"ehhhh?! Really!? Yes!!!! Please help Nyuu-chan reach Hyakuji City!!" her eyes were grinning as she spoke, grabbing the edge of the shopping cart as well and looking up at Dante, seemingly unaware of the threat that the teenagers posed to him.

However, he was quickly able to subdue the group leader without too much effort.

"oioioioioioii.. I dont want no trouble, seriously. Serious!!" A metallic clang rang across the platform from him dropping the knife as bystanders began to pay attention to the schoolboys and Dante. Oh my, people were pulling out their weapons at a train station.. better proceed with caution, right?

However, in the midst of the skirmish, Teru's friends had jerked forward.

"H-Hey! Let him go!!" his slightly more rational friend barked, gripping the metallic pole threateningly. "We're not offering you anything, alright? You think just because you got them special skills you can overpower us?! All we wanted to do was make a quick buck and you can't even let us do that. You know what you are? Your a mother f*ckin CUN-"

HOOOOOOOOONK HOOOONK.....

The train was pulling up to the station, which was all well and good. But if everyone were to look back at the space where Nyuu had been occupying they would find that she was no longer there.

Instead, the trolley was now lopsided, and had ended up face side on the railroad. It must have rolled there and fallen onto the tracks during their confrontation.

"The 3:33pm Tokaido Shinkansen bound train is now arriving. Please stand behind the yellow line."


The train was speeding up to the platform at an incredible speed while Nyuu sat caged on the tracks watching helplessly as the locomotive approached her upturned trolley.

Dante was about to open his mouth to respond to the thug, when he heard the whistle of the train and the clatter of Nyuu's trolley falling onto the tracks. His knife disappeared up his sleeve with a blur of his hand. "Be back in a flash boys." He called to the group, again vanishing in a burst of displaced air.

Time flowed like liquid around him as he reached the level of speed necessary to save the gynoid. The train, the people, they all seemed to slow down as the redhead made his way down to the tracks. Tossing the upturned trolley away towards the opposite platform. Dante would scoop Nyuu up into his arms and speed back to the group. Now facing them and standing a out of their range.

"Now where were we?" He asked out loud. "Oh yes." He started. "You were all whining about how someone else took your meal ticket and how I can only do this because I have powers and blah blah blah. You seem to be forgetting that you guys pulled weapons on me first. All I did was pull a little prank." He shook his head. "Honestly, are you guys really that bad that you would sell something that's possibly sentient for a few yen?" He let out a dramatic sigh. He actually had no idea if the gynoid was fully sentient. If so, wonderful. That was his good deed of the day done. If not, meh. At least he got to screw with some hooligans. "I'm taking the girl to Hyakuji now." His tone had dropped all hint of amusement. "Unless you have anything meaningful to say, I would advise you get out of my way." He began to walk forward towards the now arrived train. Still carrying the gynoid in his arms. "And for the record. I don't need powers to kick your asses."

He would get on the train and put the gynoid down in a booth. He would sit beside it and start inspecting the damaged leg, in an attempt to see if he could repair it with the limited tools he currently had.

"Is your thumb going to be alright man?" The guy holding the pole asked, dropping it beside his injured friend as people began boarding the train.

All he could muster as a response was to scowl at their image behind the train windows as they waited for the next train. "I hate them so much...."

-
Within the carriage, Nyuu jerked backwards while crossing her arms and folding her functioning leg up onto the seat as though to retreat as far as possible from her rescuer.

"Please do not touch me.... And put those away this instant... I require only one person to repair my leg." Nyuu said, wearing a pout as she avoided his gaze. Was she embarrassed? That couldn't be possible right...? "Although ... judging by the way you ignored Nyuu earlier.. I don't think Dante-sama will listen.... But he really should this time! I have to fufil Yui-chan's order!"

That's right.... while he was experiencing that slowed down time, was he even able to register what Nyuu had been saying (quite matter-of-factly, as apposed to in panic of near death,) "Do not risk your life for me, Sir." She had said that in accordance to the first law of robotics, wherein a robot must not allow for harm to come to a human.

"Its a good thing you didn't get hurt.... But those poor children did." She surmised... looking up despondently with her big blue eyes, stifling a sob. The emotion model must be working as intended. Then her face returned to a blank state as she stared off over the red head's shoulder.

"Yeah that's the thing with me and instructions. In one ear and out the other." Dante chuckled, putting away his multitool. He had no problem following the gynoid's request of not attempting to repair her. He was happy to wait and inspect the proper repairs himself. Perhaps he would learn something interesting.

He did in fact, register the gynoid's plea for him to not risk his life. He promptly ignored it. Dante was far too confident in his speed to think that the train was any kind of risk to him. To him the train moving at its max speed was practically in slow motion.

He noticed the concern the gynoid felt for the other boys. "They were a bunch of punks." He said, trying to reassure the girl. "They were going to sell you for a quick buck. And they drew weapons on me after I pulled a little prank." He had a disdainful look on his face. "They aren't worth your concern."

He then recalled another bit of info the gynoid gave him. "Who is Yui? And what were the specifics of her order?"

Nyuu was having a hard time reassessing the events that had occurred previously, noting the hint of disdain on his face.

While she was going over the footage, (fast forwarding and rewinding in order to determine the so-called 'punk' in this case, and also deciding whether or not the train had been a threat to the speedster at all,) the light behind her eyes remained dim...

It was not until the mention of Yui that a sparkle returned and she perked up in her seat.

"Yui-chan is a young Miko who serves at Gotokuji Temple.." She answered, tilting her head with a puzzled pause before continuing. "There is a highschool in Hyakuji.... Yui-chan has a friend who goes there... She told Yui-chan that there is a woman there who can fix Nyuu's leg." Without batting a lash, she pulled her skirt back an inch to reveal a compartment that seemed incapable of closing shut, revealing some colored wires, (some which appear to be torn completely,) running down her inner thigh. "Nyuu doesn't remember how it happened."

The footage she was trying to replay in her viewfinder kept showing blacked out faces.

"I'm supposed to go to Hyakuji ..... and be happy." She smiled up to her eyes and giggled while facing Dante, unable to read his expression.

".... are you happy?"

Dante listened with rapt attention to Nyuu's story. Some miko was friendly with one of the students at his school and they dropped the name of Maria Annings, his science teacher. While Dante agreed that she could certainly repair the gynoid. He was puzzled as to why it was her of all people. Surely there were others able to repair Nyuu.

Filing that train of thought under "not my concern". Dante thought over the question Nyuu asked him. Was he happy? "Happiness is a tricky thing to get." He answered. "But I suppose I could say that I'm content for now, at the very least." He tilted his head to the side. "I take it you plan to enroll in the school while you're there?"

"Enroll in the school?" She repeated, trying to discern what he'd meant by the question. "Do you mean to ask... if Nyuu will become a student at Hyakuji Highschool?"

Suddenly, the sparkle left her eyes as she pulled the name of the school into a search engine. They would reach the next stop before she'd compiled some general information on the school's history, (from its humble beginnings as a manor for the Hyakuji family - to it being a home for those with special powers and certain oddities to call their own.)

"Nyuu is able to learn from people." The cat-eared humanoid spoke, fixing her gaze at Dante.

"Nyuu wants to learn from people." She reiterated, keeping a rather rigid posture as the train pulled to a halt. Her bright blue eyes looked onward as people entered through the doors, eyes glued to their phones or newspaper. It was a wonder that these two had managed to secure a seat at all, seeing as the train had filled up almost as soon as they left the city's main stations.

"If Dante-sama says that he is happy being a student at Hyakuji Highschool, then... the best chance Nyuu has of being happy in Hyakuji is to become a student there.......... So it means... Nyuu needs to enroll too!"

For the most part, the other occupants of the seats beside Nyuu and Dante carried on ignoring their conversation, occasionally looking up to steal glances at these alien bright haired creatures in Tokyo.

"Say.. Dante-sama. Are there any fun things to do in Hyakuji City?"
