I've spent over a year writing this story. I'm sad to have finished it here, but all good things come to an end. This story was my baby. I already miss it. Watch for a sequel, because it could happen. It WILL happen. I love you all. Today I read book number two in the Reboot duo books, and I just... Don't know what to say. I love Amy Tintera. She has been my biggest inspiration. I love all readers. This series is not done yet. Please enjoy the end to 'book1'
DISCLAIMER
Hikaru's P.O.V.
My heart dropped into my stomach when I heard the flat lining noise. I looked at my mom, and ran into Kaoru's room. Doctors were gathered around his bed trying to perform CPR.
"No," I whispered. Tears found their ways to my eyes.
"Hikaru, I'm sorry," One of the doctors said to me. I walked over to Kaoru.
"The reboot gene," I said taking Kaoru's hand. The doctor looked at me questioningly. I could see in his eyes he knew what it was.
"How do you know about that?" The doctor asked. I flashed my eyes up at him.
"Hikaru 187," I tell him. His eyes widened.
"The 187?" He asked. I gave him the duh look.
"How do you know?" I ask him.
"I see it from time to time," He tells me.
"My brother... Will he?" I ask.
"He may. We won't know until it happens," He says. I sit next to Kaoru. I stare at his features. His temperature was dropping.
"Oh Kao," I whispered. I heard the door open.
"Hikaru," 46 greets me. I look at him.
"How are you 46?" I ask him. He frowns.
"This is my fault," He says.
"No, it's HARC's fault. They brain washed you, but how when did they chip you?" I asked him.
"After you escaped. They knocked me out, and I didn't come to until you cut that thing out of me," He told me. He looked at Kaoru.
"I guess it makes sense," I say putting the pieces together.
"Uh, Do you think he's going to reboot?" 46 asks me.
"I hope so," I say feeling a little bit of loneliness in my chest. 46 pats my back. It's been over sixty minutes. I growled. I did not have the patience for this. I close my eyes, and drift off.
"Hikaru," I open my eyes. The doctor was infront of me.
"Where's Kaoru?" I ask noticing my brother was gone.
"It's been four hours. He didn't wake up," The doctor said.
"We have to wait longer!" I yell. The doctor shakes his head.
"We can not. I'm so sorry," He told me. I stood up, and walked into the waiting room. Our mother was there. She stood up and I hugged her.
"I'm sorry baby," She whispers too me. She looked horrible. I could tell she hadn't slept in a while.
"Mom?" I whispered.
"Yes?" She answered.
"I should've saved him," I say leading her out to the car. We ride home in a sorrowful silence. I stare out the window and think of something my mentor once told me.
"The life of a reboot was not meant to be happy, no matter what you do."
It is unfair how true that statement was. I walk myself up to my room silently. I close the door behind me. I lay on the bed and take a moment to reflect upon my life.
'My name is Hikaru Hitachiin. 6 years ago I died and 187 minutes later I woke up. I fought my way through every day. Every day at HARC was the same. Missions or training. Until I meant Kazukiyo Soga who woke up 46 minutes after death. The boy that lead me to my reason for living. Kaoru, my twin. Now Kaoru is gone, and I'm alone. I still have Kazukiyo, but it isn't the same. My reason for living has faded I will too in time. But until then I must live like I still have a purpose. My name is Hikaru Hitachiin. 6 years ago I rebooted. A few months ago I became human again. Today my brother died, but I did not. He made it when I was gone, and now I must live for him. Rest in peace Kaoru.'
Those are my last thoughts before I fall asleep for the first time afraid of the future.
I hope you enjoyed. Watch out for a sequel. t will be posted soon. Review with thoughts on this.
