Heaven in Hell

 LDB: Okay, I DON'T OWN A THING!!! …Except the evil guy that's living in my closet.

      Metabee blinked several times in the dark that night. He laid next to his medafighter's bed on his little matt as Ikki snoozed soundly in his sleep. But Metabee couldn't get to sleep for some reason at all.

   Metabee rolled over on his side and sighed. ' Man…Why won't that strange feelin' go away?' he asked himself. Yes, he was feeling something, but it was an annoying tinge in his metal that just wouldn't leave him alone. Metabee has had this feeling for a while, but he didn't thing it was serious at all.

  Metabee then rolled on his back and placed his hands behind his head. ' God…this is so annoying!'

Then all of a sudden, his body lurched forward. The metal inside his tin pet was starting to hurt. His eyes widened for a second, then closed as his body relaxed as the metal stopped hurting. He bolted upright shaking a bit. This has happened a few times to him as well. ' The hell is wrong with me…?' he then drew his knees to his chest and wrapped his arms around them.

   This whole thing was hurting him, but he couldn't tell anyone. He was too scared to.

  What if they took him to see Dr. Aki, and he was coming down with some life-threatening virus?

…No, that can't happen. He's a Medabot, and he's not in a Soap Opera. But he still didn't want anyone to worry about him…he could take care of himself….

   Can't he?

    " Sir, we've got it."

 " Excellent," said a shadowed figure as he sat at his desk with a glass of wine in his hand. He leaned back and took a small sip of his bitter drink. " …I must congratulate the professors on their development of the tracking system. Without it, this wouldn't be possible." He took another sip.

   The secretary, who spoke before, bit his lower lip. " But, sir, don't you think this is a bit…risky?"

  The man at the desk put his glass down and folded his hands on the desk. " What's this about?"

" Well, it's just that I'm worried if they catch on to what is happening…" he trailed off.

  " …No need to worry, lad," the man said, pouring himself another glass of wine, " they won't know what's going on until the very last second…"

  The secretary nodded. " Alright, sir." He turned to the door to leave.

 " Hold on."

  He stopped. " Yes, sir?"

   " …You know what to do, don't you?"

" Yeah."

  " Good. Don't let me down, boy."

The boy bowed. " I won't, sir." Then he left.

   The shadowy man chuckled slightly to himself while raising his glass. " A toast, to you…. Metabee…."

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   Metabee yawned while leaning back against the planked wall of the shack that the Medabots hung out at when the kids went to school. He felt very tired and just wanted to go to sleep and never wake up.

" Hey, Metabee?" came the concerned voice of Brass.

   Metabee blinked up at her. " Huh…?"

  " Are you alright?" she inquired.

 Metabee nodded, but didn't know what he was nodding to since he was so sleepy. He then fell down on his back and dozed to sleep quicker than you can say 'dead weight'.

   Kanteroth raised an invisible eyebrow. " Dude, this is the fourth time this week!"

 " …Is he getting any sleep at home?" Cyandog inquired.

   " I doubt it…" Peppercat sighed while looking at Metabee, who has a bubble coming out of his faceplate. " …Does Ikki know about this?"

   " That his Medabot's sleeping the days away?" Cyandog said while poking at Metabee with a stick.

" …No. That he can make a bubble come out of his faceplate…." All the Medabots paused to think.  " Hmm…"

    Meanwhile, inside the school, Ikki sketched on his notepad as the teacher drowned on about biology …or….something like that…

  " Class," the teacher said while looking up from his scedual nots, " I almost forgot; we have a new student joining us today." He then went to the door and opened it. " Please welcome Derek Toujoi."

   A boy then stepped shyly into the classroom. His hair was matted all over in messy locks, but it made him attractive. It was a mauve color, which brought out his sky blue eyes. " H-hello, everyone…" he greeted.

LDB: …Yeah, I know, that was short. But more's on the way! So R&R & stay tuned! Ga…I'm probably gonna get no reviews…so why am I talking?!

Metabee: Cuz you're a freak! ^_^

LDB: …Hmm…You're right. ^^;
