:Milly

The little orange-haired girl looked at the orphanage door. Yesterday her brother was taken away by some men in black and since the matron of the orphanage didn't seem to like her so much she decided that they would take him away from her but they didn't take her away.

She closed her eyes and held back her tears.

"1"

"2"

"3"

She opened her small eyes and looked at the door, the door was still the same, it didn't move an inch like when the door closed, leaving her behind. She missed her little brother, she wanted him back, she didn't want to leave him behind, he was her only family.

.

When she turned 18, those at the orphanage let her go. She had nowhere to go for a while but thanks to a girl she met through her work at her restaurant, her life little by little improved.

"Are you still looking for your brother?" Her friend was leaning against the door with her eyebrow raised.

Milly looked at the computer and with a sigh closed the laptop.

"Yes, but as you already know it's impossible to search from a laptop, it's not like it suddenly appears in front of me" she huffed angrily and lay back on her pillow.

"I don't want to think about what my little brother is going through."

Her friend approached her and gently caressed her back. Her touch made Milly calm down.

"I need you to see something"

Her friend grabbed the computer and turned it on and then went to a suspicious website and searched for "attack at school" and she clicked on the first video that appeared.

"What do you want me to see?" Milly barely bothered to open her eyes a little and watch the video.

But when her eyes focused on the white-haired girl's clothes and her tattoo on her shoulder, she woke up completely and clicked replay.

"What happened?"

"Apparently there was a gang attack and a student was left in a coma"

"When did it happen?"

"A week ago"

Milly's hand started to shake as she zoomed in to see people's faces.

"Who is he?" Milly pointed to a boy with white hair, his clothes were covered in blood and he had a knife in his right hand with which he stabbed the man who was lying down.

"I think he was a student but isn't that the girl you're looking for? She's apparently part of the men who took your brother."

"It seems like those two know each other."

Milly carefully watched the video and noticed how the white-haired boy spoke to the girl and then they took away the student who was badly injured.

"They know each other"

She pointed to a purple-haired man and a dark-haired girl next to the badly injured boy.

"But I don't think they are part of it since the other men who took my brother had white hair so they are just friends of his."

"So what you suggest is that we try to look for him and find him?"

Her friend pointed at Shiro doubtfully.

"Exactly, let's get to work"

Milly looked at Nori from a distance, she noticed that the girl always went to the hospital.

She noticed that she attended online classes but she was closed to anyone, she left her house and went straight to the hospital and never exchanged glances with anyone.

She never noticed the white-haired boy who was in the video and that frustrated her.

She walked towards a small park and she sat down angrily after deciding that it was ineffective to continue following the girl.

"Shit" she moaned in frustration clutching her face.

She was surprised to see a boy who was sitting looking at some girls in the background, it was strange and disgusting, yes, but what surprised her most was that she recognized the boy as the one who was in the video next to the girl.

A smile spread across her face and she quickly walked towards him. She had to take advantage of this opportunity. She pulled out her phone and took a photo of him red-handed.

Kenshin was startled when a flash illuminated him and quickly turned his head to see an orange-haired girl with a mocking smile.

"Harassing girls like that could lead to a lawsuit, you know?" Milly's voice sounded with a slight hint of amusement.

"I n-don't-" Kenshin tried to pronounce coherent words but due to the nervousness of the moment he ended up biting his tongue.

"You don't have to say anything, now what should I do?" He put his hand on her chin and put on a thoughtful pose.

"How about I take this photo to those girls and tell them what you were doing?"

"No no no, please"

Kenshin fell to the floor scared.

"I'll do whatever you want, please don't say anything."

"Perfect, then I want you to tell me if you know a boy with white hair and I want you to take me with him"

Milly spoke with an arrogant and mocking smile plastered on her face, teasing little perverts was fun.

"Yes, I do know him, you're talking about Shiro, right?"

Kenshin quickly spoke with a nervous smile.

"But"

Kenshin's voice turned scared and made Milly frown in surprise.

"What is it?"

"He disappeared after we got to the hospital."

Milly frowned and remembered that in the video Shiro was seen talking to the white-haired girl about something.

"Do you remember what Shiro and the white-haired girl talked about during the attack on your school?"

Kenshin was surprised but quickly composed himself and started to think, after a few seconds his face lit up.

"I remember she said something about Shiro failing to complete a mission and that he was going to turn himself in to them if they helped us with Kazuyo."

Milly opened her eyes, a traitor? He could help her but if he gave up on her then he might no longer be alive to tell her what that circle with a sword through it was that those men were wearing.

"I can help you find more information about them"

The little pervert's voice surprised her and made her jump at being interrupted.

"And what could you contribute?"

"I also want to know who they are, I don't want to live in ignorance and after that incident I decided to change"

Milly looked at him for a few seconds and saw in her eyes a gleam of determination that would not be extinguished no matter what she told him.

"Well, I need you to investigate and collect all the information about this tattoo"

Milly put a sheet of paper in her hands with a small drawing of a circle with a sword through the middle.

"And this is my number"

She turned over the sheet of paper that had the drawing on it and behind it was a phone number written down.

"Wait, you already knew I was joining you?" Kenshin sounded surprised looking at the piece of paper and a little more at the cell phone number than normal.

Milly put his hand on her lips and winked.

At that moment, Kenshin knew that he had fallen in love, although he also felt that he had fallen into a trap, but he did not give it importance in the end and after all he had gotten his number.

"So you are 01"

A man's voice rang through the small room and caught the attention of a small, white-haired girl.

The little girl nodded her head and opened her mouth to respond politely as she had been taught.

"Yes sir, that is what my creator called me."

The girl's voice came out unhindered, sounding very strange for a small girl but knowing what it was in reality this was nothing.

"So you've already met Shiro?"

The man approached the girl and knelt at her height.

The little girl shook her head.

"It's a shame, I would have liked him to teach you himself"

The girl's eyes shone with curiosity and she opened her mouth to speak softly.

"Is he very good?"

"He is the best"

The man responded quickly making the little girl surprised and that made a small hint of curiosity shine through her.

"Can-can I meet him?"

"Of course, I will make that possible, count on me"

The man gave the girl a thumbs up and made a smile shine on her face.

The man said goodbye and left the little girl alone in the room again.

He walked down a small hallway and came to a gray door, with a slip of a scanner he opened the door.

"It's a failure" the man turned to an older man sitting in a chair looking at a bunch of cameras.

"It would be a waste to throw her away so I suggest that Shiro train her."

"I agree with your logic that it would be a waste to throw away the loser but why would Shiro train her?" The older man spoke with a frown looking at two specific cameras: in one was Shiro with his eyes closed totally oblivious to the world and in another was 01 looking in all directions while she was sitting on her bed.

"Although Shiro also turned out to be a failure, he showed that he can suppress her emotions perfectly and if he helps the girl so that he also knows how to do it, then we wouldn't have lost so much in creating him."

The older man listened in silence and after a few seconds he stood up and finally looked the younger man in the eyes.

"Zen, I will accept this but I want you to be the one to watch over them, I wouldn't want Shiro to give him ideas and the unsuccessful one ends up revealing himself"

"I trust you will, now you can go"

The man called Zen nodded and after a brief bow he left the room with a smile.

"That was easy" his thoughts came to light after leaving the place.

"I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll do shiro.."
