Feeling the other's eyes on her, she smiles playfully, hoping the other wouldn't recognize her. If so, she'd have a lot of explaining to do...not to mention that the other would get involved in her solitary battle with the snake embedded in her own father.

"My name's Ene! How are you?"

"Oooh? Hello, hello!"

"Hehe...Well, it's obviously because I'm a super duper awesome and intelligent computer program!"

That usually wouldn't convince anyone else, but...Ayano was Ayano. 

Ayano stared in surprise, head tilting slightly. “Uhm… I’m sorry if I sound rude, but… How’d you know my name?” She didn’t say anything about it before, had she?

Oh, how embarrassing it’d be if she did and merely forgot! It’d be really rude of her too; she knew she was a bit of an air-head, but still! Maybe her lack of sleep as school work piled up caused her terrible memory.

Oh, that was an rather satisfying reaction. It wasn't the same hilarious and almost pitiful reaction a certain hikkiNEET usually exercised back when her residence was in his computer, but this was rather cute. As expected of the fluffy medusa. It was relieving to know that she was forgiven, as well. Friends were few, in both her time as a human and program...

"Good morning, Mary!" she chirped, giggling. "Did you have a good rest?"

Of course, the answer may be no...and that was most likely her own fault. Oops.

If someone ever wanted to get rid of Ene through boring her, they should never, ever refuse to answer. That was like dangling a string in front of an impatient feline, and Ene wasn't one for self control when it came to these situations. Her interest obviously perked, she floated closer to the screen, her hands pressing against the glass. Her aqua-blue eyes were sparkling with curiosity. Oh lord, Kido. What have you done?

"Oooh~? Danchou, are you perhaps...hiding something?" She has to make a conscious effort to keep her voice down in her excitement. Kido might as well as have set off a bomb. "Can I guess? Is it Mary? Little sister? Kano? Oh, I bet it's Kano!"

Despite his cranky new mood dipped through the short patience he had displayed along Ene’s speech about how cheerful he should become upon receiving her presence within the mobile, interest peaked in him as he observed carefully her reaction growing heedful progressively as the danchou demanded simply to turn off her voice either lowering down the tone she laid out on the piece, close to where Mary, Seto and Kano are set -Though he doesn’t care about the blond- The effort to put up a straight face was far too from the grumpy and asleep individual despite his endeavors to keep his mind fully enlightened for the obvious reason of not letting the dismaying idea imagining Ene planning again to cast a second alarm bugging tirelessly the morning— In other terms, wasting that day. In some ways, Kido may be somehow able to understand Shintaro’s pain to bear a such little pesting software.

His face froze up. What kind of question was thrown? Into a infernal conflict between himself and the tsundere gait slashing his personality by two distinguished sides his lips  adopted a quirk tugging the features, eyes contemplating Ene adorning a mischievous grin showing the genuine sense of her thoughts.

"It’s not your business. I see no reasons to respond." But truthfully the honest answer is a big no.

The other's calculations and programming had been on the spot. She had completely disappeared from the monitor, pixels and all.

But even so...it wasn't enough. Not for a program like herself.

Giving her limbs a shake to get the feeling back in them, a loud sigh resounded throughout the cyber world, as the cyber girl wondered how triumphant the other was currently feeling at her disappearance. A spark of playfulness danced in her chest as she imagined his reaction to her return. This was the turning point. The key to changing fate.

Deciding that she had let him revel in his temporary victory for more than enough time, she gently slapped her own cheeks in preparation, not unlike a nervous person about to give an oral presentation in front of a group of people, and followed her guide - a blue compass. Ene dived into the Internet, speeding towards her destination.

"Tooooo bad!" Her voice could be heard before she could be seen slipping from behind one of the windows, giving the other a triumphant smirk that was clearly mocking him. Her sapphire eyes darted about, looking for a reaction. "Didn't I tell you? You're stuck with me, Master~!"

Having developed an eye for catching irritation ( thanks to a certain hikkiNEET that gave her the best reactions ), she did not miss the twitch. Waving her hand in dismissal, she giggled quietly as to not wake the one addressed as 'frog boy', so he wouldn't interfere in their interaction. Especially because she about to engage in some serious teasing.

"No, nothing of the sort! I was just thinking...you two are quite close, hm? Were you perhaps...sleeping together before I woke you up?" she playfully inquires, purposefully placing an emphasis to give the other a certain implication. 

It wasn’t often that the medusae descendant got a chance to talk with the virtual entity, especially all by herself. Well, not particularly alone, since Seto himself was slumbering on the couch, but it wasn’t like he was listening in on the conversation at the moment. —Subconciously, little feet shuffle further away to refrain from disturbing the noirette while he slept.

❝ Frog… boy? ❞ Thoughts spun around in attempt to figure out whom the other was talking about.

❝ … —S-seto-kun? You mean Seto-kun? ❞

Internally, a nerve twitched in irritation at the demeaning nickname that Ene had given her friend. But no, the white haired child mustn’t yell. He’d wake up, and the last thing that she wanted to have was a sleep-deprived Seto. ❝ Ah, he was, but he’s sleeping now, so… ❞

❝ Do you need him for something? ❞

Why, this was quite the sight. Everything about this girl struck her as odd - the abundance of fluffy, raven black hair, the piercing, crimson, snake-like eyes, not to mention the scales on her cheeks. Ene was about to greet the interesting newcomer when the other's words struck her as odd.

She was pretty sure, in the two years she'd been a computer program, that she had never met this person. The voice somehow sounded familiar, but how strange...if she had communicated with this person in the past via audio-only means, the other wouldn't have recognized her. One could usually take this as a simple mistake, but in this case, that wasn't possible. She was a computer program, probably the only one of her kind at the moment. How odd...

Approaching the situation cautiously, she gave a warm, welcoming smile. "Hmm...Have we met before?"

i'M SO SORRY SCHOOLWORK HAS BEEN LIKE 'RAWR' AND I HAVEN'T FOUND TIME TO MAKE REPLIES I'M GOMEN IF I FINISH MY HOMEWORK I'LL DO THEM TODAY I'M SO GOMEN ]]

For the sake of a certain fluffy medusa she knew (She knew of her burdens, and definitely didn't want to stress the girl further.), Ene ended up obeying, putting some effort into speaking at a normal volume instead of the bellowing she usually exercised. Some way or another, that's how she normally spoke. She wondered for a split moment why that was so - perhaps she was used to simply yelling at a certain male she was rather close to in the past, or...maybe the high volume gave her some comfort in being alone in this world.

Hiding her melancholy behind a mask of cheerfulness, she closed her eyes, contemplating on a topic she would get the most impressive reactions out of.

"Hey, does Danchou like anyone?"

"Aaaah, we should get to it, then!" Pulling out a random file from the hard drive, Ene went right to the renaming. Oh, this would be too fun.

"Do you have any other brilliant ideas?"

Her bright grin melted into a fond smile, looking upon the one who used to be her junior. That smile was so familiar, it was comforting...yet it was slightly painful. 

Ayano wouldn't recognize her. She knew that.

Yet...she couldn't help but try to reach for the other.

"Hey there, Ayano Tateyama!"

"Oooh? Hello, hello!"

Even the knowledge of the fact that she could not die and could come back via the internet couldn't stop her grimace, could not stop the chill from going up her spine. Even in immortality, deletion was never a nice process to go through. The feeling of her body slowly pixeling away, losing the little sense of touch she had left, even temporarily...it wasn't something she liked in the slightest. She was a program now, but...in the end, she kept her humanity. That fact could not be erased.

However, allowing to show fear on her face was most likely a mistake. If she could not overpower him, it would all be over. Ene would be treated as a toy - a thing that he could just order around and ignore. The struggle for power was a long and difficult one, but she couldn't lose this.

"Threatening you? Of course not!" she chirped, her face discreetly shifting from fear to a determined smile, quite the contrast to his cold glare. "Man, aren't you a stiff one. It wouldn't hurt to laugh once in a while~"

Perhaps...it would be best to show him.

That he was stuck with her.

"Deleting me is useless, just so you know," she informs him, wondering if that would provoke him. If she showed him that he could not get rid of her (without sacrificing his life on the internet, that is), would that be reason enough to listen to her?

"Aaah, Mary!"

Flashing a bright grin at the medusa, Ene bounced happily on the screen, glad to see the girl she'd been getting along with lately. She wasn't sure if the other girl knew, but they were allies...leaping through time in order to save the lives of their friends. Knowing the strain of too much knowledge, she was eager to stretch a hand out to this girl whenever she could.

Glancing to the side, she caught sight of black hair...Seto, she presumed.

"Is the frog boy with you?"

"Oooh? Hello, hello!"

Blinking at the unusual state of dress on this man, Ene curiously glided closer to the screen of the device she currently inhabited. Something about him gave her the chills, as if talking to him would mean stepping out of her ordinary routine. (Well, ordinary for her, at least...and even this way of living she expected to be trapped for eternity in was something she couldn't quite accept just yet.)

Brushing those thoughts aside, as her and danger were separated by a wall that could not be surmounted. she grins at him. "Hi there! What's your name?"

"Oooh? Hello, hello!"

Such wishful thinking, Shintaro.

No, she wasn't going to listen to him this time. The last time she left him alone, he...

Judging by his dull eyes, she had a lot of work to do. 

She rolled her eyes. "You can't just expect me to just listen to you! Even I get bored, you know," she huffed, still keeping the cursor in her hold. It was expected that he'd treat her like a mere object. To Shintaro, she was nothing more than a program that someone created - which was logical thinking, of course. But she'd have to prove him wrong. Crossing a leg over the other, Ene sported a sly smile directed right at the NEET. "I'll just warn you...that the fate of all of your files rests in my hands!"
