Ito Ai: A New Dawn

The next morning came, and Ai woke up, sat up straight, and stretched her arms. Eiji was still sound asleep next to her. Ai noticed the small tent he was making under the blankets. She lifted the blanket up and took a peek to find his manhood had slipped out of his boxers, standing at attention. Ai didn't even blush as she gave it a flick, put the covers back down, and crawled out of bed. She got some clothes and headed to the girl's baths. On the way, she met up with Mai, who was also heading to the baths. 

"Oh, Ai! We need to settle Mio in today." Mai said she ran up to Ai.

"Huh? Why? She is only here to keep Yoshi company. She is close to Yoshi in age, so she can keep him company. I said it before, right? Mio is only here to become Yoshi's wife.." Ai said, not wanting to continue the conversation. She only brought Mio back to make sure the old man didn't turn into a lolicon. He was always with the girls, and she worried he might turn into a monster at some point and attack the girls. 

Mai stared blankly at Ai and finally understood her, and Yoshi's thinking was not wrong! Ai really intended for those to be together this entire time! "So she won't be getting her own room?"

"Why would she get her own room? Did I not tell Yoshi to take care of her? So he should use his charms and woo her. She will stay in his room. If she complains, kick her the fuck out. We are not a charity organization. I did not bring her back to be one of us. I do not have time to do such things. She is under Yoshi's care. Yoshi will decide how to handle her. But no room will be given to her, and she will not be trusted to be going down any hallways where we all rest. So I will not be adding her into the biosensor database. 

"Mai, I said all along, it is not good to trust others. I may be trusting Yoshi and Eiji, but that is because they have proven their worth. But even now, I still watch out for signs that they may be doing something they should not. Well, not so much Eiji because he is more willing to jump out in front of me to take a hit than me needing to use him as a human shield. He proved that when he said yes to my crazy idea and turned into a mutant like me. 

"Only people who are willing to put down their life for you are worthy of my trust. This Mio girl stood by while her friend got blasted by a machina. Yes, she may have been horrified, but she didn't even try to move to help her. I saw the whole thing. But even after saying all this, we need to worry about one thing as well—the human population. Me and you are too young to get pregnant. Hell, I am not sure if I can even reproduce anymore. But if Yoshi and that woman fuck and she gets pregnant, then you can finally get some practice on childbirth, and we can see how it will be to raise a kid in this fucked up world. Anyway, I said what I need to say on that." Ai finished her words, turned, and walked into the bathroom.

Mai stood there staring at the door closing in front of her with a blank expression. Only after a few minutes did she realize a major flaw in her thinking recently. "She hasn't changed at all!" That was right; Ai had only come to trust those she had been around for a while but only to a certain point. Once they acted in a way that seemed suspicious, Ai planned to kill them without a second thought! Mai had been too relaxed because they had been in the bunker living life in a more normal way. After seeing Ai opening up to Eiji, she thought Ai had really begun to change back to the friend she once knew, but she had been mistaken. Eiji had proved his worth to be treated as such. Ai treated Eiji no different than herself. But Ai was still distant from the others. 

Letting out a long sigh, Mai went to go take a bath as well. After her bath, she went to go find Yoshi, who was teaching the girls math in a small meeting room, with Mio at his side. "Yoshi, I talked to Ai, and ummm. Well… Mio is to stay with you and can only walk around the areas without turrets. In other words, well, I am sure you may have guessed it already. Ai does not trust Mio, but she trusts you enough to look out for her also..." Mai walked over and whispered into Yoshi's ear, her words causing his face to go black. 

"Is that her real intentions?" Yoshi asked. He did not like the idea, but he also knew Ai made a serious point. Humanity is probably on its last leg. 

"Yes, so well, think of it as an assignment. " Mai really had no other way of putting it. Ai was basically using Mio as a test subject for the well being of their future. Mai was also sure that if the base was attacked, Ai would not even try to protect Mio, leaving the woman to her own devices even if she was pregnant. 

Yoshi let out a long sigh. He looked at Mio and sighed again. "Alright, I will see what happens. Just tell Ai it won't be any time soon. It all has to happen naturally. " Yoshi had his misgivings about it, but he wasn't going to push Mio into anything either. He would try to get Mio to fall for him and then see how it all goes. He was someone who would follow orders given by his superiors, and to him, Ai was his superior. Her word was the final say in this base. If he had said he would not do it, Mio would most likely be tossed out into the radioactive rain to die. He knew Ai would not hesitate to get rid of someone she did not care for or trust.

"Alright, I will..." Mio also let out a sigh. She glanced at Mio sympathetically before walking away. She now had nothing else to do with what happens to her.
