Few items of business...
Thank you to all the reviewers! :) They really motivate me to update!
I love you all.
Think when I'm finished here this plot would make a great Beast Boy Raven story.

Hikaru's p.o.v
Everything has been normal for two weeks. No hunter no HARC. I think that things are winding down finally. Of course I dread the fact my days are numbered here. I wasn't ready to loose connections with Kaoru. Kaoru does not know my days are numbered. Nor do I want him to find out.
There's a knock on my door. I open it up slowly. It was Kaoru.
"Sup Issac?" He asked pushing past me and siting down.
"Did I invite you in?" I joked with him closing the door.
"I'm always invited," He grinned.
"I suppose so," I chuckle.
"Where's Class Rep?" Kaoru asks looking around.
"He's doing school stuff," I reply locking the door. I was keeping careful secruity ever since the hunter appeared.
"On a Saturday?" Kaorufrowned.
"Yes," I reply.
"Hey Issac, what would I look like as a Reboot?" He asked. I sighed. He was so convinced that his brother is a reboot. He couldn't know that I was his brother.
"I don't know. Considering I don't even know what I looked like as a human," I say.
"Issac, do you ever want to find your family?" He asks.
"I know where they are," I shrug.
"Really?" Kaoru sounds interested.
"Yeah, I make sure they're ok. I don't want to interfere in their lives to much. Even the lowest number Reboot knows that any family would be shocked and angry if their child returned from the dead," I reply monotone.
"Not my family. We'd be so happy if Hikaru came back," He said.
"Would you really?" I asked avoiding his gaze.
"Hikaru was my best friend. I mean you're cool and all, but he was my twin. He was also my mother's first born. Even the maids miss the games and pranks he came up with. Everyone would be happier if Hikaru came back," He said smiling but I could tell he was sad.
"What if he didn't look like you anymore?" I asked Kaoru.
"That doesn't matter. He'd still be my brother and best friend. If he's a Reboot I need to know and find him," Kaoru says.
"Sorry Kao, but it doesn't work that way. 46 and I are the first reboots to come to human realm, and probably the last," I tell him with sorrow seeping into my tone.
"Oh," Kaoru whispers. After a brief pause he says, "What's your family like?"
"Well, I have a baby brother whom I would do anything for. Even as a Reboot. I check in on him a lot honestly. I couldn't be more proud of him. I hate to see him so hurt over my death, but I can't do anything about it. My baby brother is my heart now that I'm a reboot. I'm glad I got to see him in this life, and once I go back to HARC headquarters I will miss him very much. I also have a mother. She is very torn over my death. She saw me as a Reboot once and actually fell apart because she recognized my voice, but not my face. She was the best mother. My father passed away when I was little, but he was a fun guy. Now that I'm not with them anymore I have to protect them from afar," I say with a sad smile. I could go on about my family for eternity.
"It sounds like you love them so much. Ever consider telling them?" He asks.
"I think about it everyday," I admit to it. I meet his gaze.
"I'm sorry for your loss," He says.
"I want to be alive again," I whisper holding my head in my hands.
"Issac, who are you?" Kaoru breathes trying to pull my sleeve down to see my barcode.
"I am Reboot number 187. The least human reboot out there," I tell him holding my arm firmly in place.
"You're very human to me and class rep," Kaoru whispers.
"I wish I hadn't Rebooted,"I said being honest.
"Don't say that. What if your family needed you? I need you too, you know?" Kaoru pleaded.
"Thank you Kao," I whispered. I leaned over and gave him a friendly hug. He leaned into it.
"I should be thanking you Issac. I was practically friendless before you came around. Now I have hope," He said to me. I didn't answer. I didn't want to crush that hope.
"Am I interupting something?" 46 asks walking in.
"Hey there Class Rep," Kaoru says ending our brotherly hug.
"How's it going 46?" I ask him turning my attention to him.
"It's good," He says putting his stuff down in the kitchen.
"Going to school on Saturday must be crime," Kaoru says.
"You guys used to go to school on Saturday's for the host club," 46 points out.
"Not anymore though," Kaoru smiles looking victorious. 46 just shook his head with a smile on his face. I smiled to. Almost everything was perfect. Now if only I could have my humanity back.
"I'm going to miss you when we have to go back to HARC Kaoru," 46 whispered sadly.
"I wish you guys didn't have to leave," Kaoru added as sadly.
"Brighten up guys. We won't have to leave for a long time," I say praying that it's true.
"You're right," 46 agrees.
"I'm going to step outside to get the mail real quick, alright?" I say noticing the mailman driving by. They both nodd. I let myself out of the apartment.
3rd person
"Kazukiyo?" Kaoru says in a hushed tone.
"Yes Kaoru?" Kazukiyo answers.
"I need you to be completely honest with me," Kaoru tells him.
"Alright," The Reboot replied.
"Did my brother Reboot?" Kaoru asks.
Cliffy? :)
