Chapter 39: Arasaka Sora
(2:35 a.m. Sora's room)
When I opened my eyes I could see it the familiar ceiling of my room as I barely managed to sit up in bed, not paying much attention to my surroundings....
"AH!....fuck my whole body hurts!"
When I managed to sit up in bed, I could only notice my stomach growling almost making me want to eat Eco if it wasn't for the fact that I knew it was metal, as I looked over my room with tired eyes, I could see a tower of energy bars on the shelf next to my bed.
When I saw them, I heavily lifted one of my arms to grab one, when I noticed a familiar feeling in my arm.... but not one of the good ones, which made me realize I had an IV set in my arm...
And when I reached up my other arm to take it out, because it reminded me of my life in the hospital, something stopped my hand in its tracks, as if it wouldn't let me remove the IV.
Which I didn't like at all when I realized what or who had stopped me.
Making me look with astonishment at my arm that I could not move, no rather I noticed something inside me that blocked my arm preventing it from moving..... `Tch you want this so bad, junkie?' I thought in my head as I released the force of my arm as if I had given up to remove my IV.
When I regained control of my arm freely I went straight to the IV bag, which was still slowly leaking connected to the IV and when I picked it up I again noticed my arm freeze....
`Hey, you're not as reserved as you used to be, are you?' as I increased the strength of my arm to refuse to give in again... Let's see who gives in now?.... We continued to struggle, until I noticed how the locking sensation in my arm could no longer resist and he gave in.
`HEHEHE, relax, I understand our body needs this, but.... I refuse to have this shit any longer' I thought, removing the IV from my arm as I took the IV bag towards my mouth.
Biting down on it like an animal as I sucked down all the what I imagine to be some kind of serum with some medicine in it.....
`There you go, you've got it in there, do what you want with it' I thought again in my head as only silence answered me.
Making me finally grab the energy bars that the grandparents had left me, (Thank) my body feels so weak I don't know if I could walk down the stairs, as I started to devour bar after bar, until I could see what was underneath, was the pad I had next to the bed that I used to check my cybertube account... and talk to my mother....
Thinking about that I turned my head towards Eco's bed and loading point that when I looked at him he had woken up too, coming out of his resting mode, looking at me with his cameras while he would open his holographic mouth sticking out his tongue happy to see me awake
"Hello little one."
"Woof-wooff"
"Did you do as I told you and record everything that happened when I fainted?
"Woof"
"Great, good dog, show it to me"
Within seconds of saying that I got a request from Eco on IDn.

[Tell me Muashi with them Sora will be safer right? then I don't need to be surprised or worry about a mother who only wants her child to survive no matter what..... in the end as you and I both know there is nothing more painful than losing a child..... I understand why Hanako did what she did..... if I could I would have done the same for our children..... any mother who loves her children would do anything to keep them safe even if it's 1% Musashi]
When I heard my grandparents' conversation ..... I was thinking about finding out more about what I have in my body .... but what I heard ..... made me look like a fool until I finally reacted .....
Hanako + Arasaka, who already knew from Cortana = FUCK!
MY MOTHER.... IS HANAKO ARASAKA?..AND.... MY FATHER.....JOHNNY SYLVERHAND?
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME, WHAT THE FUCK?
Just thinking about it makes my head hurt... how the fuck did they meet!?
So I'm an Arasaka, huh?..... and Linder.....shit!
It's normal that the grandparents don't want to tell me about it....fucking hell, but what a mess!
I knew my mom and grandparents were related to Arasaka from the chip with Cortana..... but that they are related, to me carrying their fucking name is different...Fuck.... family dinners sure are awkward....Shit
I can only imagine....
(SORA'S IMAGINATION)
"Hi Saburo? nice to meet you, I'm Sora Arasaka your grandson.
"Your-your-your face "
"So you've noticed, huh? it's good that you remember him, you save me from wasting time, after all, you're old acquaintances, right? you kill his girlfriend, he nukes your Nc base, you kill him.... but not before, let your daughter fuck him!"
"!!!!!"
"What a surprise, right!? I'm the same Sabu-..... No, Ojii-Chan!"
"Come into my arms Ojii-chan ... Well Ojii-chan now that I'm Arasaka and all that where do you keep the good stuff, you know the real good stuff you don't sell..."
---
"Ahmm(sigh)".... what a load of crap....It would be great if it was that easy... what did I say about being the CEO of militech... well I think the same thing I don't give a shit knowing I'm Arasaka..... they are almost like demons personified in this world... Fuck it!
When I thought that I also thought about what grandpa said about the nanobots running through my body... so .... I have a roommate, eh!
Hey, Arc do something cool.... light my eyes on fire or something awesome, I'm depressed, when you find out your family are the Siths of this world.... shit'.
`....'
` Go..... go do it don't be a boring'
"....."
"..."
Suddenly I felt something... in my hand I felt a tingling sensation as if something was happening....
I barely lifted my hand and put it in front of my face so I wouldn't miss anything Arc..... wanted to show me..... moving me in the process... maybe my nails grow like blades..... or better armor.....no no no, make it claws better.... when I was thinking all these things something happened
One of my fingers stood up... and when I saw it I was..... bewildered.... as if I was sending myself to shit...
"he..he..he.....hehehehehehehe" I laughed at what had happened I had filled myself with expectations so that in the end what I have inside me would send me to fuck myself
"I don't know why Arc, but you seem like a good guy to me.... you know I was expecting something more beastly with tails or Skynet but you Arc for an AI..... I like you, music, now this... let's keep fucking around for a while how about it mate?"
As I said that out loud I noticed how my other hand was also starting to sting like the other hand had done for.... and went back to extending my finger and sending me to fuck off again "Hehe" it's still funny to me.
Stopping thinking about things that have no solution..... I turned to the pad that was under the remaining bars, barely stretching to grab the pad..... and the rest of the bars.
While I was eating my number 10 bar, I went to my cybertube account, and I could see that I had a lot of new comments on my videos along with some assholes about some record corporation trying to 'take my music to the world....'.
I passed on those messages and searched for my private conversation with Yuki-onna23..... my mother
[We need to talk](Jackie)
A few seconds later
[I'm glad to read you, I think you had an entertaining day.....] (Yuki-onna23)
Really?.... as if you don't know....
[I know you're my mother] (Jackie)
Boom does the bomb, react mom because there's more.
....
.
[I don't know what made you think I'm your mother, but you're wrong, it's true I knew your father, but I'm not your mother, boy, I know you're confused, I'm glad to know you're okay, don't do that crazy stuff again, bye] (Yuki-onna23)
I don't want to scare her anymore so I won't say I know who she is.... let's try something else to see how she reacts.
[I almost died today, do you care? I doubt very much that you know how, after all, I haven't told the grandparents] (Jackie)
[I know they're in touch with you, plus from our first conversations I knew you were my mother] (Jackie)
[What...] (Yuki-onna23)
[What happened?] (Yuki-onna23)
Hah so you haven't left, uh... I always knew that my mother couldn't be in a normal person with so many secrets and strange things in my birth, but now that I know that she is Hanako Arasaka herself .... makes me happy to know that my mother cares about me.
[Something was looking for me....mother] (Jackie)
[Who?..... S-son] (Yuki-onna23)
"Hehe" better this way woman, even though it was a message I almost felt fear and some joy when she wrote; Son.
[Something happened to the cop who found us after jumping from the bridge to me and my girlfriend] (Jackie)
[Son before you continue, do you already have a girlfriend!?, Is she the same girl who was with you in the fire truck?!?] (Yuki-onna23)
[Yes] (Jackie)
[Continue or do you want me to talk about Judy] (Jackie)
[Her name is judy,!?] (Yuki-onna23)
[Don't you know? I thought Grandma and Grandpa had informed you] (Jackie)
[Sorry son, I was just surprised.... you are so young but you already have a girlfriend.... no doubt you are your father's son, your grandparents inform me if something important happened or you need something.... so it's safer this way...I don't know everything I would want to know about your life Son] (Yuki-onna23)
[No please if you want to tell me how you met him I've always been curious about how the hell you two met] (Jackie)
[...]
[You know son if I didn't know it was impossible.... I would say you know exactly who I am] (Yuki-onna23)
[Well MOTHER, as you know, I can surprise you] (Jackie)
[Cheeky son...When you grow up I..... will tell you in person everything you want to ask okay?] (Yuki-onna23)
[Okay] (Jackie)
[Then tell me what happened to that bastard Mendez to make him shoot you?] (Yuki-onna23)
[How do you know that name?] (Jackie)
[Well son using your words.... I can surprise you too ^^] (Yuki-onna23)
I after reading that message I didn't want to continue telling what happened.... I wanted to keep talking to my mother like this..... but I can't and I need answers.
[Mother something hacked Mendez by giving him green eyes] (Jackie)
How do I say the following.....
[Like it was something instead of somebody] (Jackie)
[SHUT UP!] (Yuki-onna23)
[DON'T WRITE ANY MORE WORDS, IT'S NOT SAFE] (Yuki-onna23)
[DON'T TELL ANYONE WHAT HAPPENED, YOU HEAR, NO ONE!] (Yuki-onna23)
[I WILL DELETE THIS ACCOUNT TOGETHER WITH ALL OUR CONVERSATIONS] (Yuki-onna23)
[Goodbye son, I'm glad I spoke to you, even for a few moments, as a mother]. (Yuki-onna23)
[I love you] (Yuki-onna23)
[MOM WAIT!!] (Jackie)
[ERROR]
[WRITTEN USER DOES NOT EXIST]
"FUCK"
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?
WHAT THE FUCK SCARED HER SO BAD?
`ARC.... WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
`Come on sing to me, possess me, do something fuck!, tell me why my mother reacted like that, what scared her so much, the green eyed AI?'
`ARC'
`DO SOMETHING FUCK!!, COME ON!'
As I screamed in my head waiting for the FUCKING AI inside my body to respond to tell me what the fuck is going on..... but this time I only got silence there was...nothing.
Tch fuck lying back on the bed frustrated by Arc's silence and by how my mother reacted... I threw the pad on the bed and thought about the conversation I had had with Hanako, how with a few words we had started to talk like mother and son only to end up like this.... I could notice the panic and almost terror in her messages....s-hit
Without realizing it little by little now that I had eaten and was lying down again I felt my eyelids closing without being able to fight the drowsiness that had assaulted me to continue recovering.
Almost as if someone was lulling me to sleep even in my exalted state from the conversation with my..... mother ..... Ha..na..ko..zZzZZzzzzzz.
