Chapter 14
[Shiro]

Honestly, a lot of things are starting to feel strange to me now. Night had fallen and we were approaching a small island. I had not yet been briefed about where we were going, why we were going there or why they needed Mei. Questions kept piling up in my mind as I stood on the railing with Mei. This girl is still a mystery to me. I've had multiple girls say they love me but each of them had an agenda, it seems Mei doesn't, or am I wrong?
'Mr Kamui. Ten minutes until we arrive,' one of the guards from the back told me as he bowed and left. The island was coming into view as the night ocean fog cleared. {This damn island wasn't so big just moments ago. This is strange.}
'Magnificent isn't it?' Kuroi asked as he came from behind, 'This island is protected by nausea gas that looks like a fog. Anyone trying to approach will be shown nothing but illusions. That's why it seemed as though it was still far and the fog started becoming dense. Only people who have been injected with Caution, our special serum can enter the island without a problem but it seems you two are different.' He said as he pointed at Mei and I. A few minutes later we halted and got off the ship. In front was a huge island with children and adults in grey clothing, training as if in the military. Huge skyrise buildings and facilities were everywhere, it was as if I was in a different world. It was day. We walked toward this different looking Yutopia, passed by several buildings each with password required doors, made our way towards an elevator that dropped us forty five floors below the building. Went through a series of security checks and three triple reinforced steel doors that opened like portals. Finally we reached a hundred and fifty square meter room with computer monitors everywhere, six hundred workers each on different platforms situated on higher grounds of the hall with their monitors. It looked as if it were a parliament, and one chair stood in the middle. 'WELCOME BACK KURO KAMUI – SAMA!' They all said in unison as they stood and bowed like a bunch of school kids greeting the homeroom teacher.
'At ease,' Kuro said raising his hand and the entire hall had the sounds of chairs as the workers sat down.
'So you rule your own kingdom?' I asked as we headed down the stairs towards a chair in the middle of the hall.
'Not at all. Lady Kamui rules this place, I'm just her second in command.' Somehow Kuro's voice sounded angry as he said those words. He took a seat on the royal looking chair with red comfortable Egyptian cotton fabric and a gold frame. As he sat the platform raised going high enough to be in view of the massive screen that displayed a map of the world and information around it. Two ladies came from behind us, gave us the same chairs  with a smaller size, left food, took our jackets and gave Kuro a laptop then bowed and left.
'Give me a status report of Lady Kamui's position!' Kuro gave out orders as he punched  a few letters on his laptop. Mei and I sat in confusement as we gazed at the huge...
