A/N: This is my first Chobits fan fic, so please go easy on me^_^
NOTE: In my fic, Chii is really good at speaking English, though she still speaks in the third person most of the time.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Rain began to pour as Lightening etched across the pitch black sky. The wind seemed to pick up speed as the thunder demolished the silence hanging in the misty air.
Chii sat inside on the sofa, staring at Mother Nature's wrath and fury. The wonderments of nature still captivated the persocon. She looked around the room, only to find that she was the only one in it. Feeling the loneliness spreading through out her, Chii got up from the sofa and wondered around the apartment, searching for Hideki.
She walked into the Kitchen and saw Hideki sitting down at the table with books and paper scattered about the table.
"There you are," Chii said.
Hideki jumped, startled by the sudden absence of silence in the air.
"Were you looking for me, Chii?" he asked.
Chii nodded. "Chii is very lonely. Chii can't go outside, it's raining."
"Oh, I'm sorry Chii, but I'm busy at the moment. I do something with you when I'm done, okay?" Hideki said.
Chii lowered her head. "Chii is sorry for bothering you. Chii will go now," she said, walking out of the room.
'Nice going, Hideki! I hate to see her so sad. But I have to finish this work before I can do something her. Still, I should go apologize to her,' Hideki reasoned in his mind.
He got up from the small kitchen table, and walked into the living room to apologize to Chii. He looked around, but Chii was no where to be found.
'I saw her come out in here. Where could she be?' he pondered.
Hideki searched around the living room, but Chii anywhere in the room. He decided to check the bedroom. Walking into the room, he flipped on the light switch. Chii wasn't in there either. The last place she could possibly be, was the bathroom. Hideki flipped the switch off and walked out of the bedroom, closing the door behind him.
Upon walking out, he noticed that the front door was open ajar. Hideki didn't think Chii would go out there in this kind of weather, but it was possible and since the door was open, it was most likely that she was out there.
He walked out the door, and noticed that the building door was open as well. 'Why would Chii go out in this weather? Doesn't she know that she could get hurt? Wait, what am I saying? Of course she doesn't! God, I'm so dense sometimes!' thought Hideki.
He opened
the door just as a gust of wind knocked him back. Hideki landed on the floor
with a bang.
"Oww!" he said, grimacing in pain.
"Oh no, is Hideki alright?" a small voice said from behind him.
Hideki turned around, only to look into the angelic like eyes of Chii.
"Chii! I've been looking all over for you! Where have you been?" he asked, more relieved than anything.
Chii stood up. "Chii was outside staring at the pretty sky, but Chii got tired of the wind, so Chii came inside," she said, her pale face wet from the rain.
Hideki looked her over. Her long blonde hair was sprinkled with rain, and her black low cut dress was always moistened from the wet humid air that encircled them.
"Chii, don't ever go outside without telling me. Especially when it's storming, like today," Hideki said.
Chii lowered her head again. "Chii is sorry. Really sorry. She never meant to worry you."
Hideki softened at her innocence. 'It's not her fault. She doesn't know any better. It's my job to teach her these things. I guess I haven't done such a good job of it lately.' Hideki said in his mind.
"Look, Chii, don't apologize. I should have taught you these things. Just don't do it again, okay?" he said, giving her a smile.
Chii realized he wasn't mad, and smiled too. "Okay Hideki. I won't do it again."
Hideki gasped. "Chii, you just spoke in first person!"
Chii furrowed her brow. "First person? What does that mean?"
"It means, you spoke using "I" when talking about yourself, and not your name which is third person," he said, trying to think of the easiest way to explain it to her.
"Oh, so that's a good thing, right?" she asked.
Hideki nodded. Glancing down at his watch, he saw it was 8:21pm. He had a date with Yumi in 9 minutes!
"Sorry Chii, but will have to finish this later. I'm going to be late for my date with Yumi if I don't hurry. So let's go back inside," he said, ushering her back into the living room.
Chii watched Hideki dash into his room and close the door. For some reason, she felt a small pang in her chest. It was sadness. She didn't want Hideki to leave. She wanted him here, with her. Sure, she liked Yumi alright, but Yumi didn't care much for Persocons and she was a persocon herself. And for another weird reason, she didn't think Yumi liked Chii being with Hideki. Maybe it was just her, but she felt it. That was a special trait of hers'. She could sense the feelings and emotions of the people around her. And the feelings she got from Yumi, were sometimes mixed and confusing.
Chii shrugged her shoulders, and once again, sat down on the sofa. Bringing her knees up, she rested her face on them, and sadly glanced out the window.
'I want a special someone. Someone that I can call mine. Hideki has Yumi. He doesn't need me, right? I hope he does. Is it selfish of me to want Hideki all to myself? I think not. It's not my fault that I feel this way. But I do, and I can't just ignore my feelings, can I? That sounds like an awfully hard thing to do,' Chii reasoned.
She heard foot steps approaching the door to the apartment. She knew it had to be Yumi.
Chii walked up to the door, and looked through the peep hole. It was Yumi, as usual.
She twisted the silver door knob and pulled open the door. There stood Yumi in yellow skirt and matching top. She could tell that Yumi as disappointed that she had opened the door. 'She was probably hoping it was Hideki,' Chii pondered.
"Oh hi Chii. Is Hideki ready?" Yumi asked, walking in.
"I'm not sure. I'll go get him for you," she said.
Yumi was shocked that Chii had spoken so easily and in first person.
Before she could react, Chii had entered Hideki's room.
"Yumi is here," Chii said with no emotion.
Hideki raked the comb through his hair one last time before bolting out the door.
"Hey Yumi, sorry about that. You ready to go?" he asked.
She nodded.
"Okay," said Hideki. Turning to Chii, "I'll be gone for awhile, so try and stay out of trouble, k?"
Chii nodded. "Have a good time," she said dully
Hideki noticed, but chose not to make a big deal out of it.
He led Yumi out the door, took one last look at Chii, and closed the door behind him.
Chii wordlessly walked to the window to watch them. She felt the pang in her chest again.
'Am I always going to feel this way when I see you leave with Yumi?' Chii wondered.
A single crystal tear fell from her eye as she sank down to the floor.
