Chapter 9 : Uriel Project
The following day,
Hikaru was watching a television in his bedroom.
" At 3 p.m., Eyes Rutherford woke up from coma…."
" I should go there too," he grabbed his bag and left the room in a second.
Room 416, at Tokyo Hospital
" I know you're here to see him too, Let's go inside," Hikaru and Kanone entered the room. But Eyes wasn't alone, he had already gotten visitors..3 visitors.
" Hi! Kousuke, Ryoko, oh! Rio, you're fine now?"
" You! How dare you!" Kousuke brought out his gun.
" That's okay, Kousuke," Eyes told him calmly. He glanced at Hikaru and beamed with joy. " Good job, Hikaru,"
" Just a piece of cake, brother,"
" He is a good messenger, isn't he?" He asked Kanone.
" The best I've ever seen,"
" Wait! Eyes! What's going on? Who the hell is he?" It was Kousuke who interrupted.
" The Forgotten Angel?" Ryoko wasn't so sure.
Hikaru took a look at them before he nodded.
" I've watched them for years. Their loyalty to you has been proved. And Kanone is no longer a threat,"
" Is that so?" Eyes smiled softly. " This is Shindou Hikaru, The Forgotten Angel," he introduced.
" You told me that your name was Uriel," Kanone hated a liar.
" That's my code name,"
" Who is he? Eyes-kun," Rio wanted to know.
" He's our little brother," Eyes replied firmly.
" What!" the rest scremed.
" He is a Blade Children just like us,"
" That can't be!" Kousuke exclaimed.
" He's too young!" Rio pointed out. The Blade Children were born in the lab, we weren't born in the same date but we were born in the same year. Because of that, all of us are in the same age; 17 years old. But this guy, he looks a few years younger than us.
" Yes, she's right!" Ryoko agreed.
" Did you lie to me?" Kanone really hated a liar.
" No, I've never said that I wasn't a Blade Children. I told you thatmy left ribs weren't missing. Then you presumed that I wasn't a Blade Children," That was true, he didn't lie.
" What are you talking about!" We all lose one ofthe left ribs! It's our symbol!" Rio blurted out.
" I said my left ribs weren't missing. It doesn't mean that I have all my right ribs," Hikaru simply said that.
" What! The right one? Not the left!" Kousuke lost his track. " Eyes, Say something!"
" He was born under " The Uriel Project". He is the only second generation of the Blade Children,"
" No way! There is no such thing!" Kousuke shouted.
" That's right. Everyone knows that Yaiba wanted to continue the second project then he died so they canceled it after his death," Kanone narrated.
" That's what Yaiba told to the world. The truth is after we, the first generation, were born, he secretly worked on the second project right away. Hikaru was born when we were 2 years old,"
" Impossible," Ryoko said in horror.
" They took the right rib as a symbol," Hikaru added.
" Then how did you know about him?" Kanone questioned Eyes.
" Yaiba brought him to my house and asked me to take care of him. Hikaru was precious to him, he was unique. He wanted me to be his guardian. No one knows about him, not even Kiyotaka,"
" And you did a great job,"
" When the Hunt started 11 years ago, I sent him back to his mother in Japan for his safety,"
" Yap,"
"……………."
A/N : so right now, you know that Yongha has nothing to do with this fic 'coz his age doesn't fix. Yongha is 16, right? so he is too young to be the Blade Children (17) and he is too old be in Uriel Project (15). Besides, I want Hikaru to be the only 2nd genaration.
Pinn : Good job! You notice it all! I can't answer your 1st question but I can answer the rest.
"However Hikaru seems to know everything Eyes known even they never see each other for 11 years." It's so easy, it's a small world now, Pinn, E-mail!
"Why Eyes gave Hikaru bouquet of Ayame" As I said, Ayame is an extremely important in Spiral. Some of the Blade Children live a normal life and try to forget everything. But when they see Ayame, they remember who they really are...hmm just like " Hey! Wake up! Do you forget who you are? It's time to kill!" or something like that.
Lialith : Just keep reading :)
dragonshadows : Thanks,
You guys did a good job : dragonshadows is the 1st one who mentioned about The forgotten Angel, Fireheagehoq is the 1st one who noticed Uriel, kathystgqvk gave a right answer about Wisteria, Pinn knew why Hikaru didn't take Ayame. And :) knew that Hikaru tried to change Kanone's mind, not killing him.
Good job! All of you deserve a prize! and it is
My new fic! It's called " He is back". You know what it is, isn't it?
