Disclaimer: (pokes Kanone) Talk for me, will 'ya?

Kanone: Fine, fine... She doesn't own Spiral.

Me: (pats Kanone's head) Good kitty!

Kanone: Don't call me that.

Me: Hmpf! And I'm guessing Eyes can call you any name at all...?

Kanone: Of course! Since he calls me sane names.

Me: I don't think being called a fuck buddy is sane...

Kanone: Wha-? He doesn't call me that!

Me: Oh well... Anyway, this story was posted due to Freya Kurenai's request. Mind you, if you truly know what kind of a person Freya is, then you'll soon discover what the true nature of this fic really is! And it is NOT marshmallow-mushy romance...

Kanone: Tsk, tsk... you've got that evil glint in your eye... This could be bad...

Me: Enjoy the fic!

-Beep! Please state your name. Beep!-

"Ayumu Narumi." a brunette answered into a voice recorder.

-Beep! State your business. Beep!-

"Project Alpha Polaris." he answered again, seeming quite impatient with the security. Maybe Kousuke messed with it...

-Beep! What is your shoe size? Beep!-

What the- "Kousuke! Stop joking and let me IN!" Ayumu shouted. Immediately, a mini-screen appeared and showed a red-haired guy who was wearing a goofy smile.

"You were late! I'm, I mean, We're hungry!" Kousuke, the redhead, whined as Ayumu went in and hung his coat.

"Is it my fault that Kiyotaka had to postpone my trip a few minutes because of his gloating...?"

"Hmm...I don't think Kiyotaka could boast like that... Are you sure it's just your-"

"Hmpf, whatever..." Ayumu fumed away to the kitchen. He didn't really hate Kiyotaka, his older brother... It just feels awful to be overshadowed by him...

Kousuke frowned at his friend's display of abhorrence and went to the living room where a brown-haired girl sat boredly.

"Who was that, Kousuke-baka?" she asked, or more likely demanded an answer from the redhead.

Kousuke sulked and answered in a voice that dripped with sarcasm, "Oh, it was just the cook, your highness. He's off to make your delicious, and hopefully, poisonous dish-"

Ryoko, the brown-haired girl, threw a pillow at him then looked up at the stairs where a silver-haired girl was carrying an unfinished stuffed bunny.

"Ne, Ryoko-chan... What was that noise?" she asked, trying to prevent the stuffed bunny's head from toppling over. As a response, someone from behind her answered, "I think it was just the usual, Rio..."

Kousuke looked up at them too after rubbing the sore spot on his head, "Oi, Rio, Kanone... Where's Hiyono?"

The guy named Kanone chuckled a bit, "I heard her sobbing in her room. She must be watching those soap operas again."

Ryoko scoffed, "Honestly, I don't know what's the big deal about those things-"

She didn't have time to finish her sentence when they smelled something good from the kitchen. Ayumu didn't have to call them anymore since they were already in the dining room after he set down the last plate.

"Itadakimasu!"

That was how things went by in this research facility. They were like a big family and everything was going very monotonously...until they finally made a discovery...one that may change their lives forever...

"W-What is it?" Rio looked excitedly at a huge thing in the middle of their lab room.

"What does it look like? A big chunk of ice of course..." Kousuke muttered, seeming the least enthusiastic among all of them.

"Maybe it's the missing link!" Hiyono chirruped while taking pictures here and there.

Ayumu, in turn, knitted his eyebrows together and looked closer at it, "No...I don't think it's the missing link..."

This urged Kanone to look closer too, "I agree with Ayumu. Whatever or whoever is inside or frozen in this piece of ice seems... strange..."

"Besides, whatever or whoever is inside seems to be wearing accessories that, I'm sure, are not made in the 1940's or even later than that..." Ryoko joined in after giving Kousuke a kick for not being so involved.

"I think we need to melt the ice." Ayumu took great care and operated the machine, revealing...

'H-Hey! I think it's a human being!" Kousuke finally got excited too as the face and torso were revealed.

Finally, the whole body was unfrozen and Kanone volunteered on looking at it first and laid it on an inspection table. The said brunette wore all the safety gadgets needed and plugged in a few more machines to keep the body free from decaying agents. At last, he gazed on the specimen who had milky white skin and shoulder-length silvery purple hair. If only this person was alive, Kanone thought, he would gladly date him. True, Kanone Hilbert was gay. The others found out about it in a 'truth or dare' session where he said he'd rather kiss Ayumu than Ryoko.

A certain detail drew the brunette's attention away from his past reflection. He attached a few things to the body, then checked the machine next to him. It showed that there was a pulse, a very weak one, but still he thinks it's enough...

"Kousuke! Ryoko! Ayumu! I need your help!" Kanone almost jumped to the first floor. (A/N: The house has three floors. The first floor consists of the dining room, kitchen, and living room. The second floor consists of their rooms, and the third floor is the lab and the security room of the house.)

The three people mentioned looked up and followed Kanone into the lab.

"What is it?" Ayumu asked as they put on their lab coats.

"The specimen... it..I mean he's still barely alive. I believe we can fully wake him up!" Kanone didn't really want it to sound so...mad scientist-ish but that's how it really is.

"Kanone, you do know that's plain crazy, right?" Ryoko pointed out, looking at the white fabric that the specimen was wearing.

"And that's why I like it! What do we do, Kanone?" Kousuke grinned, earning a weird look from Ryoko and a grin from Ayumu.

A few hours later...

Hiyono and Rio paced the floor alternately. Whatever was happening in the lab was taking three whole hours, and what's worse, they weren't allowed to join in. To make matters worse, a few moments ago they heard Kousuke laughing like a maniac and screaming, "Live, darn you! LIVE!" then there was a loud slap in which, they knew, was Ryoko's doing.

Finally, the lab door opened revealing four worn out scientists.

"Kanone-kun! What happened?" What did you do?" Rio approached the tall brunette who was currently wiping sweat off his forehead but, nevertheless, seemed elated.

"We did it... I didn't totally think it was possible but we did it!" he replied, grinning at Ryoko, Kousuke, and Ayumu who returned his grin and Kousuke even gave a thumbs-up sign.

Rio pouted at this, "I still don't get it... What happened?"

Kanone led the little girl into the lab, proudly pointing at the specimen who was still lying on the inspection table.

Rio squealed in delight as she saw the specimen's chest heave up and down, "He... He's alive!"

Me: Chapter one- Accomplished! Just so you know, the house is, as what I call, the 'house of the future'. It has a security room since all the rooms have surveillance cameras. Keep this in mind as the story progresses since it will help you in solving the upcoming mystery of this story!

Kanone: Please review!

Me: Hey! That was my line!
