Chapter 7: A.I.s, Vampires, and Everything Inbetween

It's been a few days since they took in Himiko, and Soshi was working on those servers still. He spent multiple sleepless nights working on keeping them running.

"Is he always like that?" Himiko asked the others.

"Yep," Bachi drawled, looking exasperated with him. "Try dragging him away, and he uses his Quirk to basically teleport back here."

"His female self is more compliable," Izumi, for today, stated, taking a seat.

"So much so. It's like they're different people altogether," Bachi says. A wrench is thrown at her, which she dodges.

"Touchy aren't we~?" Himiko teased him. Another wrench goes flying at Toga. She caught it with easy, spinning it around like a knife.

"Nice dodge/catch," Bachi says. "I wonder what he's working on though?"

"Hell if I know," Hansuke stated, shrugging.

"I thought your technomancy would at least tell you something," Bachi says as Soshi finally seems to finish up. He flips a few switches and some static is heard as a camera on top of the monitors straightens up and begins moving. Text appears on the screen of a nearby computer.

[A.D.A. BOOTING...]

[COMPLETE.]

[SERVER DESIGNATION: MEMORY BANK ACCESSED.]

[CAMERA CONNECTED]

[MICROPHONE CONNECTED]

[RUNNING VOICE SYNTHESIZER...]

[... Hello, master.]

"... A.D.A. There is no need to be that formal. Address me as sir, not master," Soshi says.

[Affirmative, sir. Thank you for creating me.]

"Let me make one thing clear," Soshi says, "I made you as a partner, not a servant. In my eyes, you are a person, not a mere computer. If you think I'm mistreating you, let me know."

[...Very well, sir.]

"... Did he make a AI..." Izumi asked, shocked.

"I... I think so..." Bachi mutters, surprised.

Hansuke looked at Soshi in shock. "How...? Even I haven't done that yet."

"Trial and error. A lot of it," Soshi says. There are bags under his eyes.

"... Or you just stubborn..." he said flatly.

Soshi just blinks at that before yawning.

"You need a nap," Bachi says.

"I'll take him," Himiko stated.

"...Nope." Soshi says as he goes AI and zips past them... before returning to normal and passing out on the stairs.

Izumi went to transform his gender. Soshi was sleeping there.

"...Fun fact, I laid down on his bed earlier. It's extremely comfortable, like he's never slept on it," Bachi says.

"Because he hasn't," the two that know stated flatly.

"... Wait, really?"

______________________________________________________________________________

Soshi is sleeping on the floor next to his bed

______________________________________________________________________________

Soshi, sleeping at his desk at work.

______________________________________________________________________________

Soshi's snoring can be heard coming from the bathroom.

______________________________________________________________________________

Soshi passed out on top of his workbench

______________________________________________________________________________

"... Okay, yeah, I see what you mean," Bachi says.

"He'll sleep anywhere besides the bed, saying and I quote, 'Sleeping is a waist of time'," Hansuke told her.

"...Don't you have the same problem though?"

______________________________________________________________________________

All above scenes pan out to show Hansuke in similar scenarios. As for the bathroom one, he's outside the bathroom, slumped against the wall.

______________________________________________________________________________

He gave her a flat look. "I do sleep in my bed."

"Says the on who sleeps in her hives..."

"I need to keep my bees warm!"

"I've seen you sleep fly to them..."

"Still... I have a mattress in there with the hives..."

"I've seen that thing, and its more wax then mattress..."

Bachi just pouts a bit. (A/N 1)

"Yeah... I have to agree on Hansuke on that one..." Izumi stated, looking sheepish, and tapping her pointer fingers together.

"Man, you guys suck," Bachi says as Someina yawns as she starts getting up. She turns to look at everyone. Weird... her green eye was blue like her other eye.

"...What did I miss?" Someina says. Not as chipper as usual.

"Hey Someina," Izumi greeted cheerfully. "Just talking about how you, Hansuke and Bachi don't sleep in beds."

"Huh? No, I'm Sarah."

... What?

Everyone looked at her. "... Very funny Someina." Hansuke stated.

"... Did neither of them tell you about the rest of us?" "Sarah" asks, confused.

"... This isn't funny," Toga says.

Izumi noticed something. "Hey, you eye, it's a different color."

"Uh, yeah, that's what happens when one of us takes over... they seriously didn't tell you?"

"No..."

"Sarah," promptly puts a hand to her forehead.

"... Oh, I am going to erase them..."

"Uh... What do you mean by that?" Izumi asked.

"Well... Soshi... we have OSDD-1b," Sarah states.

"Uh... What is that?" Toga asked, looking confused.

"It's similar to Dissociative Identity Disorder, except we all share memories," Sarah says with a finger up. "Though Soshi and Someina co-front."

"So like Jekyll and Hyde, but no bad side?" She asked.

"Something like that," Sarah says, though she suddenly seems a bit more nervous.

"Why did you get nervous all of a sudden?" Hansuke asked, seeing that.

"Huh? Nervous? I'm not nervous! Definitely not because I'm neglecting my duty as gate keeper, ha ha..." Sarah laughs nervously while looking away. Everyone gave her a flat look, not believing it in the slightest. Sarah just looks at them, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.

"Spill, now," Bachi ordered her.

"... Okay, fine, there's an "evil" alter. Well... less evil, more extremely pragmatic," Sarah admits as she looks away.

"How pragmatic are we talking?" Izumi asked.

"... Batman's Agamemnon Contingencies pragmatic..." Sarah says after a long silence.

"... I'm sorry, can you repeat that...?" Hansuke asked, thinking he heard wrong. "I think we heard wrong."

"...Batman's Agamemnon Contingencies levels of pragmatic..."

"...Oh God no," Bachi says, looking terrified at that thought. (A/N 2)

Hansuke groaned and facepalmed, before pinching the bridge of his nose.

Himiko looked at them all confused. "Should I be worried?"

Sarah shakes her head. "The whole point of my existence is to stop the guy from fronting."

Hansuke gave a flat look. "That doesn't sound like a great one..."

"Nnnnnope. But he is at least heroic in spirit. He's just really brutal about it."

"At least have the others take guard duty from time to time," Izumi stated.

"... That's not how alters work," Sarah deadpans. "I shouldn't even be fronting right now, but the host and opposite-sex alters are both napping. Speaking of, I'm gonna head to bed before he comes out."

"What would happen if he does get out?" Himiko asked.

"...He'd probably go the way of the Justice Lords."

"Which version...? Justice League or Owl Man?"

"... Justice League."

"So a possibility for him to be turned better like what Batman did for his Justice Lord self?" Hansuke asked hopefully.

"...Hopefully. It might be a stretch since he doesn't come out."

"... Had any one of you talked to him...?" Himiko asked, making them all look at her. "Well, I know I need help when I was at my lowest, and you guys are helping me. If it wasn't for you, I might be a villain. Talk it out, see if he's willing to change. Like it or not, you're all the same person, just separated. You might all have just a little of eachother in you."

"...Well, it's kinda hard to talk to him. He tries to isolate himself anyways."

"Wait, you don't cage him?" Himiko asked, confused. "It sounded like you did."

"That's what I was getting," Bachi agreed.

"I mean, I control when other alters take control, but Napier doesn't always want to. He always wants to think and plan," she explains, "I can't force him to take control."

"Napier? Is that his name?" Izumi asked.

"Yeah. Funny how he's named after the Joker's alias but still tries to be heroic," Sarah says.

"Who's Napier?" Toga asked, looking lost.

"Jack Napier, one of Joker's "past identities.""

Himiko blinked. "Seriously. He's actually named after him? ... Did he name himself or did you guys?"

"He named himself, though I don't think he's... wait, no, nevermind, now he knows."

Izumi winces. "How is hew taking it...?"

"He wants to rename himself. Badly."

"Good luck with that," Hansuke stated.

Sarah nods as she yawns. "Right. Heading to bed now," she says.

"Then get to bed."

"I know, I know..."

Toga looked at the others. "So... What now?"

"Now? We figure out what to do with Ada," Bachi says as she looks over at Ada's monitor. She's been quiet this whole time.

"I think she's just as lost as we were." Izumi said, looking sheepish.

[No no, no one asked me anything. Also, I was compiling a list of DID resources so I may help Soshi later,] Ada says.

"Well that's useful, and sorry for not asking you anything," Izuni apologized.

[Don't worry about it,] Ada says as she disappears from the monitor, to continue working on gathering info.

"Did we upset her?" Himiko asked.

"She didn't sound upset. She might just be studying," Bachi says with a shrug.

"True," Izumi agreed, shrugging.

"So... What do you guys want to do now?" Himiko asked.

"...Training?" Bachi suggests.

"Sure."

Bachi nods as she goes to the Holoroom to activate the training protocols.

"What did you put in?" Izumi asked.

"Ridley. Easy difficulty," Bachi says nonchalantly.

"... I hope so." Izumi said, remembering last time. Bachi blinks before checking the difficulty setting again. It was set on easy for Ridley.

"We're good," she says. "Be glad it's one of the easier Ridley fights on top of that."

"Just had to make sure."

Bachi nods as she goes in to spar against the space dragon. The other's follow suit.

"So, how are we doing this?" Himiko asked.

"We hit him really hard. Ridley's always been about blitz."

"Got it."

Bachi nods as everyone heads in. The door closes behind them.

The simulation activated when they got inside. No sign of Ridley.

"...You're sure you turned on the simulation?" Izumi says as she sends Bachi a deadpan look.

"Huddle up," Hansuke ordered. "Remember, Ridley is sneak for a giant ass space dragon."

"Intelligent on top of that. He's even capable of talking," Bachi adds.

"And don't forge he's a predator as well," Izumi added, now huddled with the others.

Himiko gulped, going with them. "Are you sure this is easy? It feel;s scary for being easy."

"Yeah, I don't know, it sounds like it'll be impossible," a raspy voice chimes in.

Himiko looked at them. "Please tell me that was you Hansuke."

Hansuke summoned a cannon. "No."

Bachi shivers a bit as they all look in the direction of the voice... just to be swept away by Ridley's tail. Hansuke saw this and grabbed it with a power gauntlet, holding it. This resulted in Hansuke being raised into the air and slammed into the ground as Ridley roared and took off.

Bachi groans as she gets back up.

"This oughta be fun!" Ridley shouts as he starts readying his fireball attack.

"Okay..." Hansuke groaned, summoning a shield. "That did not go as planned..."

"Maybe I should've gone with Kraid instead..." Bachi groans as they regroup, Ridley cackling as he unleashes his fire breath on Himiko.

Himiko moved around gracefully, using the environment and threw a knife at him. "Next time, I'm picking."

"Go ahead."

Ridley takes the hits as he roars and starts pogoing towards her with his tail. Izumi grabbed Himiko and made them dodge, while Hansuke started firing on the Space Pirate. Ridley roars and stabs at Hansuke with his tail as Bachi flies up try and attack his wings. Ridley sees this and sends fireballs at the bee woman.

Bachi yells and dodges before landing. "Okay, yeah, this was a bad idea!"

"I could have told you that," Hansuke stated.

"Noted, and ignored. Anyone have a plan?" Bachi says as she looks around.

Hansuke threw her a blaster. "Attack from range."

"Not a bad plan," she says as she tries to figure out how the blaster works and accidentally shoots Izumi, narrowly missing. "My bad!"

Izumi grumbled in annoyance. Bachi just struggles to use the blaster accurately as Ridley continues attack everyone. Hansuke started blasting him. Ridley roars and flies at Hansuke. He flew around using his repulsar boots. Ridley flew after him specifically as Bachi opens fire and flies around the other way. Izumi and Himiko were using their flexible bodies to attck him at different angles. Ridley would swipe at them with his tail as he fired at Hansuke and Bachi.

"I think he's getting mad," Izumi stated.

"Probably because we aren't dead yet," Bachi says as Ridley turns and charges at her.

Hansuke dropped kicks him on the head, and flew back. "Maybe."

Ridley roars angrily and claws at Hansuke when he does that. Hansuke dodged in time, still basting him. Bachi fires as well, managing to strike Ridley in the mouth. He roars in pain when he was hit there.

"Ha! I got him! Now, everyone fire!"

Everyone did so, firing on him. Ridley roars as he's overwhelmed by the firepower.

"I think we almost have him," Hansuke stated.

"Oh, yeah. Just a little more!

Ridley roars angrily as he lunges at Izumi, arms outstretched as if to maul her! She dodges out of the way and hits him in the eye. Ridley roars as his tail comes around and slashes at Izumi. Hansuke got in front, and had a shield projector that stopped the attack. Hansuke and Izumi still got pushed back by the attack as Ridley, running on adrenaline and rage, blindly lashed out at everything around him. Hansuke then threw a sonic grenade into Ridley's mouth, making him swallow it. He manages to endure the pain while still going, though now he seemed far weaker!

"Now! Finish him off!" Bachi shouts as she dives in, stinger at the ready.

They got ready to finish it. Ridley roars one last time as Bachi drives her stinger into his back as everyone else opens fire! He tries to swat at them, but was slowing down. Eventually, Ridley keels over, seemingly dead as the simulation ends.

"That... Was easy...?" Himiko asked, huffing. "How was that... easy...?"

"Because that was the easiest version of a Ridley fight. Later ones have him only vulnerable on his chest and you have to tear off his regenerating armor after making him flinch just to damage him..." Bachi says with a sigh.

"... You're not picking again anytime soon," the vampire girl stated.

"I know..."

"I'm thinking we get lunch now," Izumi suggested.

"Good plan," Bachi says as she lays on the ground, exhausted.

"Let's take a breather though," Hansuke suggested.

Izumi nods as she yawns and tiredly leaves the room.

______________________________________________________________________________

(An Hour Later: In town)

Well, Soshi/Someina/Sarah was still asleep, so she's out. Toga also had to stay behind. Wanted for murder and all that.

"It's to back Himiko couldn't come, sense she's under house arrest for now," Izumi said.

Bachi nods as she munches on a honey candy she bought on their way to the cafe.

"Eh, better safe then sorry for her," Hansuke said, shrugging and having a chocolate cupcake.

Bachi nods again as she eats her candy. "At least we don't have cops trying to break down the door to get to her," she says between bites.

"That is good," Izumi agreed.

Bachi just nods again as she finishes her candy. She looks around and spots the cafe just up ahead, a few doors down from where they are.

"You can't be hungry again?" Izumi asked her.

"I didn't eat a lot," Bachi starts before Hansuke interrupts her.

He points to all the honey candy rappers and honey nectar sweet containers that were empty. "Don't eat a lot you say...?"

Bachi was in the middle of eating another one. "I'm not sure what you're talking about," she says through mouthful of candy.

"YOU'RE EATING RIGHT NOW!" The two shouted at her.

Bachi says nothing. Her mouth was too full.

"Bachi, there are three empty honey candy boxes in your hands!" Izumi shouts incredulously as she points at Bachi.

"Make it five," Bachi says as she shovels more honey candy into her mouth.

"You're going to make yourself fat..." Izumi stated blandly.

"Not with the amount of calories I burn to fan myself with my wings," Bachi counters. Sure enough, her wings were vibrating, but not flapping.

"Then why do I see a gut forming?" Izumi asked, seriously. Bachi blinks as she looks down at her stomach and pokes it a few times. It was a bit softer then before.

Aw, man... I just lost those pounds..." Bachi mutters to herself with a sigh.

"Well you are a Queen, why not look like one~?" Izumi asked in a teasing voice. Bachi sighs as she dejectedly eats more of her candy.

Hansuke took them. "Okay, I think you're had enough."

"Nooooo!" Bachi cries out as she flies for her candy.

"Do you want to be like FatGum?" He asked her. "Not judging if you do."

"I don't wanna get that fat, but gimme my candy back!"

Hansuke sighs and gives them back. "Fine. But don't come crying to us when your pants don't fit."

Bachi gratefully takes her candy back and resumes eating. She worse loose-fitting pants anyways.

"I do have to ask, why the sudden extra intake of sweets Bachi?" Izumi asked her.

"Why should I tell you?" Bachi says as she eats. No need to tell them she overcollected the honey and is trying to substitute while the hives recover.

"... You made to much again, didn't you...?" the two asked her flatly.

"You can't prove anything," Bachi says quickly.

They gave her a flat look, saying that they've done this before. "You know you've said this the last ten times, right?" Izumi asked her.

"Still can't prove anything."

"I'll take your candy away again for lying," Hansuke stated.

"... Only a little bit..." Bachi says quietly.

Hansuke was going to grab her snacks. Bachi moved them away from Hansuke in response.

"Truth Bachi," Izumi said. "Then we'll let you keep eating without any judgment."

"... Okay, fine, I over-collected!" She shouts as she slumps over.

Hansuke then gave her a jumbo box of honey chocolates. "You know you don't have to hide things from us. It's fine that it happens."

Bachi sighs as she resumes stress-eating.

"You don't want the box I'm offering you?" Hansuke asked her.

Bachi turns to look at him before holding up the box, which had somehow disappeared from his hands. Said box was also already half-empty. Both Izumi and Hansuke blinked, not sure how she did that. Bachi promptly resumes eating.

"So... What now?" Hansuke asked.

"I mean, if you two are still hungry," Bachi says.

Izumi and Hansuke gave her a flat look.

"... What?"

"Anything else then food," Izumi stated.

"... Drinks?" Bachi suggests.

"That's still food...." both stated dryly.

"How is a cup of coffee food?" Bachi questions.

The two just sigh. Bachi blinks.

"Fine, but only coffee."

Bachi nods with a smile as they head in. The three head to a cafe. Bachi places her order for a vanilla latte. Hansuke got a herbal tea. Izumi got a shake. The three drink in silence. Mostly, Bachi would buzz her wings occasionally.

"So... I heard there's a new tech shop close by and-" Hansuke stated.

"Not interested, but I guess I should go anyways, see if Soshi or Someina would like anything," Bachi says. "... and now I'm actually referring to them as separate people now. Good, good..."

"... You okay Bachi?" Izumi asked.

"Just getting used to acknowledging Soshi's alters as separate people," she answers.

"Well he did keep it from us," Hansuke said, shrugging, and taking a sdip of his tea. "Don't know why though."

Bachi nods with a sigh. "Honestly, I don't get why... I'm his... their sister, they could trust me a bit more..."

"Do you tell family all your secrets?" Hansuke asked her.

"No, but something like that isn't good to keep secret. If we want to avoid offending them, we have to be made aware they're there!"

"They don't seem to be offended that often," Izumi said.

"Yeah, but we could've been saying things..."

Hansuke shrugged. "It's in the past, can't change it now."

Bachi just sighs as she nods. "True..."

"... You're still going to grill him for not telling us, are you?" Izumi asked in a deadpan.

"Yes." No hesitation! Not even a little!

Hansuke and Izumi chop her on the head.

"Ow! Hey, he really shouldn't keep those things from us!"

"And are you going to tell him your secret...?" the two asked, looking at her in a deadpan, knowing she likes to dress pretty and act like a queen.

"Uh... Ah! Look at that flying giraffe!" she shouts as she points over everyone's heads.

She was chopped on the head again, the two not falling for that trick.

"Owwww..." People were staring at this point.

"How stupid do you think ewe are...?" Izumi asked, annoyed.

"Seriously, you're being a hypocrite when you do something like that," Hansuke said, sighing, and pinching the bridge of his nose.

"HAHAHAHAHA!" A giraffe-themed villain on a hang glider flies by. Civilians start screaming until All Might punches him out of the sky.

Izumi and Hansuke jawdropped seeing that. "... You were telling the truth...?" the two asked, shocked that she wasn't trying to run away. Wait, no, she ran.

"Hey! Get back here!" Both shouted, trying to stop her. Too late, she was gone.

"... We're going top give her a stern talking to when we get home, aren't we?" Izumi asked, sounding annoyed.

"Oh most defiantly..." Hansuke answered. He was annoyed at Bachi for for being a hypocrite and running off.

Bachi just flees.

______________________________________________________________________________

(Hikaru Household: An Hour Later)

Bachi was tied up, thanks to Toga being asked to do so by Izumi. "Guessing she did something stupid~?" she asked, giggling.

"I assume so," Someina says with a yawn as she comes downstairs, finally waking up.

"She was being a hypocrite and ran off to try and avoid the topic," Hansuke answered, arms crossed and looking at Bachi disapprovingly.

"Is this about the Queen thing?" Someina says aloud. Bachi blushes heavily.

"Yep, she think she was being sneaky but shje should have had her door close all the way," Izumi said.

"Stop... please... Toga doesn't know..." Bachi says as her head drops.

"She even still does it while as a boy," Someina notes.

"That's so cute~!" Toga said, gushing.

Bachi was now sulking.

"Now you know how Soshi and the others might be feeling?" Hansuike asked her. "Doesn't feel so nice, someone forcing someone else's secrets out?"

"I mean, no one forced us out," Someina says. "We just forgot he told no one."

You could hear a record scratch.

"... Come again...?" Izumi asked.

"Yeah. Honestly, completely forgot he never told you guys about us," Someina says as she drinks some water.

"... You're telling us... You didn't tell us, not because you were waiting on the right time... but because you four forgot to tell us...?" Hansuke asked, his eye twitching.

Someina stops as she looks around at the others. "Uh... no?"

All four were glaring at her. Bachi the most, truly upset at being humiliated for something like this.

"... Oops?" Toga cuts Bachi free.

"I think Bachi what's to have a few choice worlds with all four of you," Hansuke said in a dry voice.

"... Nope!" She goes AI and zips off. She was then hits a barrier of electricity, socking them and making them fall to the ground, twitching. "Agh! Dang it, why did we let you put up the firewalls!?"

"So my stuff wouldn't get stolen, and for you to not run away like you always do, no matter which personality you are," Hansuke answered. He then looked at Bachi. "So, you were right, and you have the right to lay into them, hard."

Bachi glared as she cracks her knuckles. Someina chuckles and backs away, knowing neither her nor her alters have any close-range skills.

"I suggest we look away, this isn't going to be pretty," Izumi warned Toga. Toga nods as Bachi goes to beat up Someina.

Five minutes later, and Bachi looked a lot better, dusting her hands. "Feeling better?" Toga asked her Bee friend. Bachi just nods as she rubs her ankles and walks away quietly.

"... She doesn't want to talk with us, does she?" Toga asked.

"... Well we did spill her secret thanks to them..." Izumi said, pointing her thumb behind he to the beaten up body of Soshi.

Soshi was groaning as he laid there, still as Someina.

"I got this," Hansuke started. He then shouted, while pulling out something from a freezer in his lab. "BACHI! WE HAVE CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM WITH HONEY ON IT!"

Bachi promptly comes back to get the ice cream.

"Consider this an apology for outing you to Toga, and we are willing to do whatever you want," Hansuke said, getting nods from Izumi and Toga. "I can even change into Hikari as well."

"... Each of you admit something to her too," she says as she takes the ice cream.

"Ah, no tea party?" Toga asked, pouting. "I've always wanted to do one, one that was colorful and Gothic at the same time."

"... I do tend to act more cuties when I'm Hikari," Hansuke said, blushing a bit while looking away.

"... I'm Bisexual," Izumi admitted.

"...Okay, Izumi being bi was expected," Toga says as she looks at Izumi.

"... It was?" Izumi asked, surprised.

"Kinda. Your whole thing is gender swapping, makes sense you'd be interested in both," Bachi says between spoonfuls.

Izumi pouted at her pouted. Bachi just shrugs.

"... Do I have to say something else?" Izumi asked, not sure what she could tell.

"Yes," Bachi says.

"I honestly don't know what to say," Izumi admitted. "I don't really have that many secrets to be honest."

"What about the time you tried to have both gen-?" Hansuke started but was clocked on the head by one of his own wrenches from Izuku.

"Not that one, that's way to embarrassing!" Izumi shouted, red faced.

"...You what now?" Bachi says as she eats another spoonful of ice cream.

Izumi whispered it to Bachi that she tried to be both genders at once, having both qualities.

"... Isn't that... how the heck...?" She was now trying to figure out the anatomy of someone with both sets of reproductive parts, and how that would work biologically. So far, it wouldn't.

".. I did hear that there were people that were born with both genders... so... I thought... I would see... If I could... do it..." Izumi said, her face getting redder and redder with each passing word, as steam was starting to come off her.

"But... how...?" Bachi says as she sets the ice cream down. She was having trouble visualizing what that would look like.

"C-Can we drop this now? I-I'm starting to get into uncomfortable territory..." Izumi asked, wanting to drop it. She was already embarrassed with just telling them that much.

"Alright, alright. Fine. Anything else, Toga?" Bachi asks as she looks at the vampire.

"I don't think so," Toga stated, shrugging. "Unless you have something else you want to say?"

"Not really," Bachi says with a shrug as she finishes the ice cream.

Hansuke sat back up, holding his head in pain. "I guess I deserved that..."

Bachi blinks before shrugging. "Anyways," she says, "think the collective idiots are still asleep?"

"... We should check on them incase they are working," Izumi stated.

"Huh? I meant Soshi and his alters."

"... That's who I was talking about as well..."

"I thought you meant Ada," Bachi says a bit sheepishly.

"True," Izumi said, understanding.

Bachi nods with a sigh as she heads back upstairs to "talk" with Soshi if he and the alters are up. Izumi, Hansuke and Toga followed her, wanting to make sure Soshi was actually sleeping.

He... no, wait, she was, still. "...We should get to know the alters a bit better, though. It might help explain the non-tech stuff a bee found in his... their closet.

"... Why was one of your bees in their closet...?" Izumi asked with a flat look.

"Something about flower scent?" She says, now sounding confused. "... Actually, yeah, why was Beetrice in there...?"

"... Beetrice...?" all three asked.

"... You got the idea of naming your bees off Ant Man, didn't you...?" Hansuke asked.

"W-well, technically, she was Beetrice 145... or was she Beetrice 415?" Bachi says as she starts trying to remember where all of her Beetrices were.

"... Couldn't you have given them different names at least...?" Toga asked in a dry voice.

"There's Beeregard, Bee, Tabeetha..." She starts listing the names. All of them have "Bee" thrown in there somehow. "Bee" is "Bea."

"... You definatly took the idea from Ant Man...." Izumi stated.

"... Maybe I did, maybe I didn't," Bachi says as they arrive at Soshi's room.

"Do you hear anything?" Hansuke asked Bachi.

Bachi shakes her head as they head in. She sees that she was sleeping soundly.

"And asleep. Okay then," she sighs as they close the door.

"Glad they kept their promises about going to sleep," Izumi said.

Bachi nods as she looks over at the closet door.

"... You're not thinking of snooping, are you?" Izumi asked.

"...Kinda. Mostly to get to know our sisters better."

"I don't think that's a good idea," Hansuke stated.

"I already know there's an easel in there," Bachi says as she goes over to the closet.

"Easel?" Toga asked, looking confused.

"And canvas."

"... So it's a paint studio," Haansuke stated.

"From what I can tell, yeah."

"I see, you think there's more then?" Izumi asked.

"Probably," Bachi says as they look around. "Someina always was artistic."

"True."

Bachi goes to open the closet-

Someina snored and talked in her sleep, "Don't do it." She snored one more time before falling asleep.

"...Okay, how did she do that?" Bachi questions as she looks at Someina.

"... I think that we should well enough alone then," Izumi stated.

Bachi nods slowly as she steps away from the closet door.

"Good to know you have servile instinct," Izumi stated.

"I'm not that dumb," Bachi insists.

Izumi and Hansuke gave her a flat look that said that they didn't believe that.

"... What?"

"Do we have to remind you of times you did things that could have killed you...?" Hansuke questioned, remembering some of her crazier ideas.

(Flashback 1)

"YAHOOO!!!" Bachi shouts as she skydives. Without a parachute, because she was confident her wings could give her the lift she needed.

______________________________________________________________________________

(Flashback 2)

"So, I found this under the sink..." a young Bachi says as she holds up a bottle of who-knows-how-old orange juice. "... Imma drink it!"

(Flashback 3)

"En garde!" Bachi shouts as she charges into "battle"... wearing a blindfold, confident in her antennae and senses.

(End of flashbacks)

"...What times?"

"Oh don't play dumb..." Izumiu said in a flat voice. "We know you're trying to play dumb..."

"Nah, I had all that under control," Bachi says.

"Uh-huh...." all three said in a disbelieving tone of voice.

"... Pshh, whatever," Bachi says as she looks away.

"Bachi look, there's a bowl of honey donuts by the window," Izuni said, pointing to a window.

Bachi runs and dives at the window to grab the nonexistant bowl. She promptly slams head-first into the window and collapses in a heap.

"So should we say we told you so or...?" Hansuke asked, walking up to her, a smug smirk on his face.

"Shaddup."

The others were trying to hold back their laughter. Bachi sighs as she holds her head.

"But you see what we mean now?" Izumi asked the bee girl.

"I see that you guys won't hesitate to use the temptation of sweets against me," Bachi mutters as she gets up.

"Just be glad the window didn't break and you fell from the second floor," Toga stated.

"I'd be fine. I've done it before."

They look at her for what she said.

"...What?"

"... You do realized what you just said right..." Toga said wit a sweatdrop.

"What? I've fallen from the second floor a lot. How do you think I practiced slowing my fall?"

"... At least tell us you had a matters or something to land on..." Izumi begged.

"Nope."

"Bachi!" Izumi shouts.

"But Soshi was always ready to catch me."

"He's a year younger than you and isn't as physically fit, especially at that age!" Izumu counters.

Hansuke flicked the bee girl on the forehead.

Bachi blinks. "Ow."

"That's for being an idiot..." he stated bluntly.

Bachi just grunts as she leaves.

Toga had a cheeky smile. "I heard your mom was make chocolate and Honey cake downstairs~"

"Not this time." She just heads to her room.

"Kids, I made cake," came the voice of their mother.

"Oh, come on!" The hear Bachi shout before she runs to the kitchen. She tripped and rolled down the stairs, making the other three wince at her clumsiness.

They went to see if she was okay. "Bachi, you alright?" Izumi asked.

Someina yawns as she turns over... in bed, for a change.

Bachi promptly springs upright. "Huh, what? Did you guys see something happen? I certainly didn't."

She was chopped on the head by Hansuke. "Do not try to play this off!" He roared. "You could have actually broke your neck!"

"Ow...!" Bachi says as she rubs her head.

Just then, their mother walked in, not looking to happy. "Bachi, how many times have I told you not to run in the house?"

"... I plead the fifth?"

"Wrong country," Izumu deadpans.

Rin pulled both her ear and antenna. "Are you trying to be smart with me young lady...!?"

"Ow ow ow!"

"Well...?" she asked again, waiting for an answer.

"I might've been... I honestly thought it was Izumi talking..."

Rin sighs, facepalmed. "Bachi, I love you... but please stop trying to shift the blame or trying to deny you mess up..."

"Right, right..." Bachi says with a groan as she rubs her antenna.

"Now, tell me if you're actually hurt," Rin ordered her.

"I'm fine, really..."

"Bachi, you don't have to hide things from me, I'm your mother," Rin said, looking sad.

"But I am fine though!" She insists.

Rin sighs. "Okay, I'll trust you."

Bachi nods as she steps away from Rin. "Now then... I'm gonna go get some cake," she says as she goes to get some.

She was pulled by the ear again. "Ah, ah, ah, you are not taking the whole thing again young lady..."

"Ow! Who said I was taking the whole thing!?"

"The last time I made the same cake, you took and flew off with it when I wasn't looking..."

"Well, now these three are here," Bachi says as she points at Hansuke, Izumi, and Toga... then a rubber ball goes sailing out of Soshi's room, striking everyone in the head.

"Stop being loud...!" Someina calls down tiredly.

"... Nice trick shot..." Toga muttered.

Someina yawns as she falls back asleep.

"... Did she take her medication lately? She's been sleeping for a while."

"Not sure," Izumi answered.

"She?" Rin asked, not knowing what the kids were talking about.

"Someina's in bed right now," Bachi says.

"Oh, right, girl form."

Bachi nods as she goes to get some cake.

"You get only two slices young lady," Rin told her.

"Yeah, yeah..." Bachi mutters as she gets her slices.

There's a thud from upstairs as Someina falls out of the bed.

"You okay up there kid?" Rin asked her other child.

"Ow..." Someina groans out as she slowly shuffled onto her feet.

Rin went up to check on her. "You doing okay? That thud sounded bad."

"...That hurt..." Someina groans as she gets up.

"Need an ice pack?"

"Maybe..."

Rin let out a sigh and goes down stairs and goes back up with said ice pack. Someina grumbles a bit as she heads downstairs.

"There's cake if you want some."

Someina nods as she goes to get a slice before it's gone.

Back with the others, Izumi and Hansuke were watching Bachi to make sure she didn't take giant slices of cake to loop the rules Rin told her.

Thankfully, she didn't.

Someina collects a slice and yawns as she starts eating.

"Thank you for not making a loophole in what Rin said to you," Hansuke thanked, eating his own slice of cake.

"Oh, there is. I'm taking the leftovers," Bachi says.

"I'll be sure to not leave any," Someina counters.

"I was more thinking she's cut it in half and take both halves..." Izumi stated, remembering when she did something similar.

"I'm hurt," Bachi deadpans.

"But not inaccurate," Hansuke said.

Bachi shrugs as as she resumes eating.

The others join her. "So what do we have plan for later?" Toga asked. "This is good cake~"

"Honestly? I think Soshi's alters derailed all of our plans," Bachi says.

"Ouch," Sarah says.

"How so?" Izumi asked, looking confused.

"What I mean is, we've already spent a good chunk of the day dealing with finding out about them," she explains."

"Good point..."

Bachi nods. "So, we'd have to do something short."

"Tea Party again?" Toga asked, smiling.

Bachi blinks before leaving to go get the tea pot again.

"Aaand here we go," Sarah says to herself. Or Someina? What color was the eye right now?

Izumi saw that her eye was Yellow, meaning it was Someina who was talking. "You can't tell me you don't like them."

"I wanted to get back to work on that painting! And the sculpture! And..." ... A lot of art projects.

"Well there are tea art as well, and the art of making tea," Hansuke stated.

"But those are temporary!"

"But they can be fun."

"Mmmmgh..." Someina grumbles.

"That's not a no~" Toga teased playfully.

"It's not a yes either!" Someina cries aloud dramatically as she heads upstairs.

"Drama Queen~" Toga teased following her.

The ball bounces down the stairs and into Toga's face again. Toga just grumbled.

To Be Continued...
