Chapter 4
8 years later, Hiro and Akari graduated high school. Akari wanted to do something useful with her life, so she decided attend the same school her sister attended, SFIT. She and her brother had a gift for robotics, but Hiro always wasted his gift on bot fighting. He had almost been arrested 4 times, and he nearly got beat up by a bunch of bot fighters nearly 3 times his size. But he always had Leiko to save him.
Today was Akari's first day at SFIT. She was excited and nervous at the same time. She and her brother had been bullied a lot as they skipped grades, and their self-esteem paid the price. Whenever they were picked on, they would push themselves down, and believe everything they had said to them.
But if she were bullied, she would have Leiko at least. Leiko was starting her 2nd year at SFIT, and honestly, she was excited to show Akari around the school. She was a bit bummed Hiro didn't want to go to 'nerd school' but he'd change his ways eventually.
Akari wore her favorite outfit to school today, it consisted of a light purple t-shirt, black cargo pants, a sky blue hoodie, and her favorite pair of purple sneakers. She walked into the robotics lab with her sister and looked around the room in awe. There were so many things in the room that amazed.
"Gogo!" someone called. Leiko turned to where the voice was coming from.
"Oh hey, Fred," she greeted.
"Gogo?" Akari asked.
"It's a nickname," Leiko explained.
"Oh," Akari nodded in understanding.
"Who's this?" Fred asked.
"This is my sister Akari," Gogo introduced.
"You have a sister?" Fred asked.
Gogo rolled her eyes, "Yes Fred, and I have a brother. I've told you all before."
"All?" Akari asked.
"You haven't met the rest of the gang yet?" Fred asked.
"We just got here Fred," Gogo said flatly as she put a piece of gum in her mouth.
"Well then, I'll just bring them over here then," Fred said and walked away.
"Is he always like that?" Akari asked.
"Yep," Gogo said, stretching the 'p.'
"Get this Tadashi, Gogo has a sister. And a brother!" Fred shouted.
"I know Fred, she's told us all this before," Tadashi said.
Fred, Tadashi, and a couple other people walked over to where Gogo and Akari were standing. Akari didn't say anything, but she noticed that Tadashi looked a lot like Hiro.
"Hi! I'm Honey Lemon!" the blonde girl waved.
"I'm Wasabi," the other man introduced.
"I'm Tadashi," Tadashi waved.
"Hello. I'm Akari," Akari introduced.
Tadashi eyes widened for a second, "A-Akari?"
"Yeah…" Akari said, confused.
"Be right back," Tadashi said and walked away.
"What's wrong with him?" Akari asked.
"I dunno," Gogo said.
"Hmm… I'm going to check out the lab now," Akari stated.
"Just be careful," Gogo warned.
"I know," Akari stated reassuringly.
Akari turned around the corner and ran in the direction Tadashi went. She saw a lab door open, and she peeked inside, spotting Tadashi sitting on the window in despair. She knocked on the door, and it opened.
"Are you ok?" Akari asked.
"Yeah, sure I'm fine," Tadashi said.
"No you're not. I can tell," Akari stated and walked into Tadashi's lab.
"How?" Tadashi asked.
"Because I know what emotional pain looks like. My brother and I were bullied a lot, and every day, I saw the pain in his eyes when we went to school," Akari explained.
"That must've been hard," Tadashi said.
"It was, but it doesn't bother us anymore. You seem like you've been upset for a long time," Akari observed.
"Yeah, well, I lost all of my family. Beside myself and my Aunt, we're all we have left," Tadashi explained.
"Why?" Akari asked softly.
"My parents died in a car crash when I was 7. And 3 years before that…my younger brother… and sister were…stolen from the hospital when they were born," Tadashi explained sadly.
"I'm so sorry," Akari said. She felt the sudden urge to comfort Tadashi, and she gave him a hug. He seemed to feel a little better.
"It's ok…I guess. I mean, there's not really anything I can do about it," Tadashi shrugged.
"Why'd you run off when I said my name?" Akari asked.
"Akari was my sister's name, and my brother's name was Hiro," Tadashi told her.
Akari's head shot up at the mention of Hiro's name, "That has to be a coincidence," she mumbled.
"What?" Tadashi asked, turning towards Akari.
"Hiro…is my brother's name….my twin brother's name," Akari explained.
Tadashi's eyes widened, "It must be some sort of coincidence."
"Yeah," Akari agreed.
A knock on the door interrupted Akari and Tadashi's thoughts. The both of them looked up to see Robert Callaghan at the door.
"Hey professor," Tadashi greeted.
"Good morning Tadashi," Professor Callaghan greeted, and noticed Akari in the room, "Who's this?"
"This is Gogo's sister, Akari," Tadashi introduced.
"Hi," Akari waved. The professor waved back, but she noticed something in his facial expression that confused her. It was what looked like anger, directed towards her, "Well, Gogo's probably looking for me, bye Tadashi."
"Bye Akari," Tadashi said as she walked out the door.
"So Tadashi, how's your project coming along?" Callaghan asked.
"Fine I guess. I've tried 74 times, and I still haven't gotten it right," Tadashi sighed.
"You'll get there," Callaghan said, "Just give yourself a break every once in a while."
"Thanks for the tip professor," Tadashi thanked.
"You're welcome. See you in class later," Callaghan said.
"Alright," Tadashi agreed.
Callaghan smiled and closed the door to Tadashi's lab. His smile quickly formed into a scowl. Why was Akari here? What would happen if they figured out they were siblings?
He guessed that after he placed Hiro and Akari in the park, 'Gogo's' family must've found them and taken them in. But he will stop at nothing to make sure he gets his revenge this time…
And he doesn't end up in prison.
Whoa... So Akari and Tadashi have met. And right now they think the names are a coincidence! (MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!)
My sister just posted the first chapter of her first story. Her username is InLoveWithBaymax, and it's called One Big Glitch. It's in the Big Hero 6 category though. I might tell her to put it in the BH6/WIR crossover section.
Sorry (Not Sorry) about the late update!
Follow and Review! See you in the next chapter!
