"Are you a ghost?"

I look at Isamu, death glaring him as I sit down. I place the cup of coffee I just got between my legs, pressing them against the cup gently. I don't need to burn myself with my delicious drink.

"What did I do wrong?" Isamu shakes his head, looking annoyed. "Your face looks pale and awful."

Well, for starters, I got called a ghost. That next is that he is here next to me and breathing in my air. I can't go a day without having to deal with these HumaGear hating idiots called A.I.M.S. now.

"Shut up and let me enjoy my black coffee in peace," I order, rolling my eyes. I hope that the plain coffee can jolt some energy into me.

I couldn't sleep at all really last night. My thoughts kept going to Jin abusing me and this mysterious Horobi guy. What is Horobi even like? Is he like Jin? Does he like watching people suffer? Well, he has to since he is trying to harm a ton of people using HumaGears.

"Boss, should I get you something more your taste to drink?" Kairi asks me. "How about an Americano? Even though it isn't your favorite, it has espresso shots that are known to wake some people up a bit." She's just so innocent.

I look over at her and nod my head, no longer death glaring Isamu. "Sure, please get me that. It sounds better than black coffee."

"Understood. I will be back." Kairi turns, leaving me with Isamu.

"Kairi is an okay HumaGear. However, that doesn't mean that I like her in any way, shape, or form," Isamu says and I look at him as he looks away. He looks kind of flustered right now. How cute.

"Just okay?" Really? He must be messed up in the head right now. "She's better than okay."

Isamu looks back at me. "Yes, she's just okay. She knows when to listen to someone in a higher position than her and to stay out of my way when I need her to. She isn't like the other HumaGears."

"She's not meant to be." I smile a little. "She's cool."

Kairi is really good at listening to people and that is also why I made her that way. It is a good trait to have. However, she can insert her own opinion in at times if she deems it an appropriate moment to. HumaGears are good companions for people.

"She's a good girl, Isamu," I tell him, picking up my coffee. I bring it up to my lips and take a sip of it. Woohoo, I still hate it!

"The terrorist came to your home, correct?"

I swallow and nod. "Yeah, how did you know?"

"Rei called to let us know about seeing them in the area."

"I see. Well, I did. The terrorist just happened to bump into me on his way to hack something. He noticed I was the Kamen Rider from earlier and threatened me. I wasn't expecting a fight, so I got caught off guard. Normally, I wouldn't be unprepared." Or having a mental breakdown in front of an evil person or thing.

"Well, you should just keep your eyes open from now on. They could target you if they know you're not able to always fight back," Isamu tells me, giving me advice. If only he knew my situation. I don't know one of them and the one that I do know is a sadistic mofo.

"I will do so." I nod slowly. "You're kind sometimes, huh?"

"I guess so. Oh, I have issues being prepared too. I have to force my key open to transform. Embarrassing, right?"

I shrug. "A little, but you don't have authority to open it, huh? Yua has to give you the ability to use it, right?"

"I'm reckless, so she tries not to let me use it randomly. She thinks I'm going to get into trouble, but I won't. I'm a good guy who wants to protect people." And by people, he means humans.
