June:Start of school

( A/N: Yeah I changed the start, instead of September, I dunno in one of the OVA they started school in June I think I'll just change it when I get updated)

It was the start of the school year and some of the girls go to their respective schools. Naru, Kei and Mutsumi go to Toudai, Motoko goes to the all girls' school where she teaches Kendo and Shinobu and Su went to the junior high school. Sato decided to visit Shinobu and Su's school and see what it was like. The trio walked to the school and…

" Sato-Sempai, it's really nice you could go with us, but… I'm wondering what will you do in our school?"

" Hahaha, I'll find out when I get there =^_^="

" Eh?"

" Sato, Let's run!" Su jumps on Sato's back and points forward.

" FORWARD!" The two said together and Sato dashed quickly towards the school.

" W-wait for me!" Shinobu tries to run after them, but she was not as fast as they are.

When they reached the school, Su climbed off Sato and waves at Shinobu who was catching her breath from running.

" So, this is your school?" Sato asked as he scans the surroundings.

" Yup, our room over that building!" Su points at the near by 5 storey building, at the west wing of the main building.

" Su-Chan, we must go now or we'll be late." Shinobu still catching her breath

" Okay, we must go now Sato"

" Yup, I'll look around, and I'll see you two later. ^_^"

Shinobu and Su went to their class after waving good bye to Sato. Sato waved back. After the girls left Sato looked around, he saw a laboratory on the far-east side, he decided to take a look.

Sato, walked quietly and looked over the window, he saw it was a research lab. He can see some students in lab coats working with something. The professor gives them instructions of what to do. He saw another boy who did something different, he was working on an android it was partially complete and it will take a few more work to complete. Sato can't stop himself from barging in because he really likes tinkering with gadgets and stuff. He walks towards the door and knocked after knocking he steps inside. The students and the professor looked at him…

" Hello, sorry if I interrupted your class sir, but I was wondering if I could join in? =^_^="

" Who are you son?" The old professor asked while he adjusts his glasses.

" Oh, I'm Sato Hiroyama, I'm just visiting this school because my friends study here. =^_^="

" Is that so? But do you know what we're trying to do here son?" The professor continues to stare at Sato.

" I know a thing or two =^_^="

" Well then, I see no problem why you shouldn't join us. Come in and sit with the students"

" Thank you sir =^_^="

" Hmph, why bother, it's obvious he's a moron and will just sleep during the class. He's wasting time" The boy fixing the android snarled.

" Oh, you think so Shinji?" The professor looked at the boy as if trying to say he is wrong.

" Yes Professor Mouri, I think he's wasting our time."

Sato just looked at the boy and smiled. Prof. Mouri just sighed, put his hands at his back and walked towards Sato.

" I'm Professor Hidetori Mouri, I'm the one in charge of the mechanical and electrical Laboratory, and I'm the one in charge to teach these boys including Shinji over there. I'm sorry if he insulted you in anyway."

" Don't worry Prof. =^_^="

Sato walks over Shinji, Shinji ready himself waiting for the worse to happen. Sato looks at the unfinished android and smiled at Shinji.

" Hey, I think you're using a model XCR-001 mother board for the main system of your android right?"

" W-what? How did you know?"

" Hehehe, you know, it would be better to use the RBL -202 type first, because the main system is at the experimental stage, if the mother board burns out, it would be difficult to replace the mother board because XCR models are so expensive. It's best to use a primary and less expensive mother board like the RBL series first."

The professor was impressed with Sato and ginned.

" That's what I told him but the boy is just so stubborn." Prof. Mouri walked towards the two

" Huh? Really? If you want I can help you re adjust the system of your android… =^_^=" Sato puts his hand over Shinji's shoulder

" No way, I started working on it on my own and I will finish it on my own!" Shinji shoves Sato's hand away.

" Okay, if you say so…=^_^="

" Hohoho He's a proud little boy, Mr. Hiroyama let's leave the boy with his little project and help me with the other students."

" Call me Sato, Prof. =^_^="

" Shinji has always been like that, I can't blame the kid both his parents are top scientists you know the Akebara Company?"

" Hmmm, I think I heard of it before…"

" It's the leading company when it comes to machines and robots…and Shinji's parents owns that company."

" Wow, so that's why he's good with that kind of stuffs."

" Hohoho right, now if you like let's teach the other students what we know"

" Sure."

Sato helped the old professor with the lesson but Sato can't keep his eyes from looking over Shinji and his work. Meanwhile Shinji feels humiliated and plans to get back at Sato. During the afternoon Sato waited for Shinobu and Su near the main entrance. When they were about to leave Prof. Mouri tried to talk with Sato.

" Sato, do you have a second?"

Sato looked back and faced the professor

" Yes Prof.?"

" I would like you to come back here tomorrow to help me with the students, you mentioned you had some projects of your own and I was wondering if you could bring some and show the students."

" Of course, I'll be happy to. =^_^="

" Thank you, I'll see you tomorrow then"

" Sato who's the old man?"

" Su-Chan you don't know him?" Shinobu said is a surprised tone

" Not really…"

" He's the head of the robotic research he also works in the laboratory doing some research with machines and stuff, I'm surprised you never heard him!"

" Ah, now that you mention it, He asked me one time to help him reboot the computer because it broke down. He's a nice old man too."

" I see…"

" Hey Shinobu you're starting to sound like Rem ^_^" Su joked

" N-no way! I don't sound like Rem-Sempai!"

" Yeah, some how you sounded like Rem there ^_^"

" Oooooh stop teasing me…--__--" Shinobu almost in tears

" Hahaha, okay, okay. Let's go"

Hinat Sou: Sato's Room ( 7:21 pm)

At Hinata, Sato went over his things and looked for something to show on the next day. Rem saw Sato busy looking over his things and looked at him for a while" T_T" then just walked by. After Sato finished deciding o what to bring he organized them and placed his things back in the lab. He decided to bring a pocket computer, a small phaser pistol, a small robot toy and the 34-missile pod launcher. As he was about to finish, N.E.O. walked by and Sato remembered he was to ask her to come to school too. He ran after her and…

" Oh N.E.O. I have something to ask you."

N.E.O. tilts her head and asked

" Yes? Sato-Sama"

" Would you like to come to Shinobu's school tomorrow? The Prof. There asked me to bring cool stuffs and I thought you would make a great assistant as I show the gadgets."

" I'd love to Sato-Sama ^_^"

" Great! Okay then, don't forget we leave tomorrow morning."

Sato ran towards the lab to double-check the things he will bring. N.E.O. smiled and walked towards her room to retire for the day.

The next morning Shinobu, Su, Sato and N.E.O. went to school. Sato and N.E.O. headed towards the lab to prepare for their presentation.

" Ah, Sato you're hear, thank you for helping me teach the students now if you may…" The old man extended his hand towards the mini stage in front of the students. And took a seat in one of the chairs.

" Okay then, let's start with the…"

Sato showed the students the things he brought with him. He started with the pocket computer, which caught the attention of most students except for Shinji who was busy working with his android. But he occasionally glances at Sato to see what's he saying. Next he showed the pistol and demonstrated what it does. Lastly he went over to show the Missile Launcher and accidentally pulled the trigger and made missiles rain and run after him. He went outside to try to lead the missiles away from the students and it didn't take long for the missiles to catch up and blow him up in the sky. After the presentation N.E.O noticed Shinji busy with his work. She walked over and…

" What are you doing?" N.E.O. asked

" What does it look like?" Shinji said angrily he sighed and said

" I'm working on an android that's what."

" What's that?"

" It's a robot that looks like a human being."

" Oh, it's like an organoid then ^_^"

" An organoid?"

" Hai, an organoid is robot that resembles a human just like me. ^_^"

" W-what did you say?" Shinji can't believe what he just heard

" I'm an organoid ^_^" N.E.O. said with a smile

" Don't try to fool me, There's no way a robot can imitate human emotions!"

" Huh? But I'm not trying to fool you…"

" Shut up! Now leave me alone"

" Ah…" N.E.O. stopped and paused then

" I'm sorry if I disturbed you." N.E.O. bows her head

" Shinji! You must be more respectful of other people, apologize to her" Prof. Mouri looks angry.

" That's okay…it was my fault to begin with, but I'm not lying Shinji when I told you I'm an organoid" N.E.O. said calmly

" Hah, it will take more than words to make me believe what you say, give me proof!"

" I…" N.E.O. looked down and stopped

" Fine, if you want proof that bad." Sato walked towards the two and pulled out something.

" What's that?" Shinji asked

" This is some sort of an x-ray device, it shows what is human and what is not."

Sato turned the device on and a dim light came out of the device, he moved it towards Prof. Mouri and the spots where the light touched revealed the skeleton of the old man. As Sato moved the light it further showed the internal frame of the old human being. Device worked like an x-ray, which showed the skeleton of any living thing, touched by the light. Sato placed the light over N.E.O'.s body and it revealed the mechanical parts that made up the female organoid. Shinji can't believe his eyes when he saw the girl he thought to be human turns out to be a robot.

" Now you have proof" Sato turns the device off

Prof. Mouri was also amazed on what he learned

" Sato, who made her?"

" Huh? I did, of course someone else helped me that's why she turned out to be fine."

Sato looks at Shinji

" I know you want to do your work alone but in time you will realize that you need someone to help you, there will come a time that you will need the help of others and believe me I learned that the hard way. ^_^" Sato smiles at Shinji

Shinji just looked at the other way and paused for a while.

" I guess, but remember this, when I finish my work it will be better than yours."

" Huh? Of course it will, because N.E.O. and I are willing to help."

" What?" Shinji was surprised to hear that one from Sato

" You're a fool, Why would you help me? Do want you want but remember this, seeing your little creation gave me some motivation. From now on I will be your Rival Sato!"

" Fine by me ^_^"

" I will be greater than you remember that!"

The two of them just smiled at each other, while the old professor was glad for the loner child genius finally understood the importance of having someone else to interact with.

Ahhhh, I'm up to 13 chapters already…( Stretches ) It's feels really nice to be able to come this far. And the thing that keeps me going is you readers, without you reading this fic it will be useless. I'll see you in the next chapter. Also I would like to thank the other writers who gives me the laughs hehehe namely SKF13, The Masaharu girls, Maiden of time and space and friends and of course my long time friend MetalKeiya. Somehow they keep me from giving up and that stuff. I'll make sure I'll drop by from time to time and wreak havoc in the reviews hehehehe.

I forgot to post this one in chapter 11:

Info:

Ougi, Raimeiken Ni no Tachi: It's the move Motoko used against Naru after the -ahem- scene in the OVA this move also made the other girls fly into oblivion. It's translated as Howling, Thunder Spirit Sword Second Move.

Thank You all,
