SkyAquaCristal: Here you go!

Not what you expected

Tadashi ran and ran, panting with every step he took. His heart pounding loudly against his chest. With every step he made, the sky was growing darker, a storm approached the city at a fast rate.

How could I ever forget something so important? I have to tell Hiro.

Memories of the last couple of hours re-surfaced.

He had left the building earlier that day to go for a walk. Wandering off, he ended on a part of the city where he hadn't gone before. The streets, although it was daylight, were darker than the usual. Tadashi looked at his surroundings and found a particular door which sparked an interest inside of him.

Even though it looked as any ordinary door, he felt that there was something important about that particular door.

Without thinking twice, his feet moved forward. His hand reached the door's handle and he turned it.

Inside, there was only one room with nothing on it except one small object. Tadashi knelt down and picked it up. It was an old dusty baseball hat. He blew the dust off and coughed as the dust filled his lungs.

He felt like the object on his hands was somehow special to him, but couldn't remember why.

His eyes then wandered to the rest of the room and his eyes widened. All four walls had different sort of words and sentences scratched. They seemed to have been done by the same person because the shape of the letters were similar and resembled each other.

As he read the words he realized they all focused on a common subject.

Lies and ... reality?

Tadashi's eyebrows knitted together in confusion.

It doesn't make any sense.

Tadashi's fingers traced the scratches alongside the wall when a sudden pain made him stop. He grabbed his head with his hands, trying to block out the pain. The hat falling once again to the floor.

He gasped and breathed heavily through his mouth. Images flashed into his mind. Images that seemed from a life time ago but also as if they were from the day before.

And then it hit him. These were not only images. They were memories. His memories. He remembered what he once had forgotten. His eyes traveled through the walls again and it all made sense to him now.

Oh no. Hiro!

He grabbed the hat, his hat, and put it on while he ran all the way back.

That was why he was running at the moment. He had to hurry to his brother before it was too late.

A sudden thunder made him look to his left and his eyes widened.

It's already happening!

He willed himself to run faster, quicker. The wind picked up making it harder for him to keep his eyes open. He opened them slightly to look where he was going.

A smile appeared on his face as the all too familiar building came to view. He was getting closer and closer.

Tadashi was knocked down when the ground beneath his feet shook. He got up quickly and kept moving. He had to reach Hiro before it was too late. He had to tell him the truth.

He was close but not close enough. He cupped his hands around his mouth and yelled for his brother's name hoping he would hear him. He kept on running when, a few seconds later, he saw Hiro looking outside the window, searching for him. When his eyes met his brother's, a smile made way to his face. He stopped running and cupped his hands once more.

"Hiro! This world is n-". He was violently shaken and fell to the ground. He used his hands to stop the fall.

"Tadashi!"

He heard Hiro yelling but he was more focused on the cracks on the concrete floor that where making their way towards him.

Inside the building, on the 3rd floor a wide room was filled with all sort of tools and was stacked with papers of all sizes and colors.

Hiro had been working on a project for months now, but he was almost done. He only needed to adjust a few details. He took a few steps back to admire his project. He was working on a special type of robot. Both he and Tadashi had designed the blueprints with it's design. It was going to help in cases when normal people couldn't help, like entering a place that was burning down or in cases on which lots of strength was needed.

He looked at the blueprint one last time, checking what else needed to be done. He was taken by surprise when he heard lighting. He looked up to the huge window glass. He looked confused. Storms where not common at all, specially on that area. But he just shrugged it off and was making his way back to his robot when the ground shook. It was not too violent but it was not a light shake either.

Ok, now it is weird.

A thunderstorm, he got it. But an earthquake? What was going on? Suddenly he heard his brother yelling his name. He ran outside the balcony. His eyes scanning the area for his brother. He found him running quickly a few meters away from the building's front door. When their eyes met, Tadashi smiled. He started to say something when the ground shook hard, throwing his brother to the ground.

"Tadashi!" Hiro yelled worriedly. Tadashi did not look up to him but was looking at the ground. He stood up, attempting to run again but the ground fell off, taking Tadashi with him.

"TADASHI!" Hiro's eyes widened in horror. He made his way to the stairs and went outside the building. He didn't notice how the storm was clearing nor that the tremors decided to suddenly stop. He kept his gaze fixed on where he had last seen his brother.

Tears were forming on his eyes and his heart squeezed. Debris and large pieces of glass from windows covered the ground. He tripped over a rock and fell hard on the ground. A few scratches covered his knees and elbows, but it didn't matter to him. He got back on his feet and kept moving and moving.

He reached the whole and looked inside. It was pitch black down there, except for the only light coming from outside.

"Tadashi! Are you all right?" Silence met his ears and his heart raced. No, he can't be dead. Maybe he is unconscious. Yeah, he's gotta be unconscious. Maybe he was buried or he is trapped or something. His mind and heart were fighting on which was right.

Reason told him that Tadashi couldn't have survived the fall. But then, his heart gave him hope that he may be alive. There were cases when people survived things that they couldn't have because they had hope, a reason to come back home. Maybe this was the case.

He made his down through the pile of rocks. He got down and screamed for his brother yet again. His echo was heard through the tunnel but nothing more. In his desperation he started moving rock after rock trying to find Tadashi. His fingers hurt from trying to move larger pieces of rock, his arms where getting tired and heavy but that didn't stop him.

No no no no no, come on, come on. Please.

He could feel his eyes water again. He used his hands to clear the tears away. But soon, fresh new tears came. Even though he couldn't see well with his vision blurred he tried going on but his strength had left him and the rocks remaining where too big for him to move. The scratches on his fingers and palms had started to bleed from the constant work.

"Tadashi, where are you?" He said, his voice a whisper. He couldn't even find him. Couldn't find his body. His knees gave away and he fell to the floor in all fours. Tears rolled on his face and his shoulders shook from his crying. He felt miserable. The only person that mattered to him was gone. Taken from him in an instance.

And he didn't even had a chance to say goodbye. Why? Why did this happen to him? Why was he left all alone? Tadashi was his only friend, the only one who understood him. The one who could make him feel better and laugh when he was feeling down. His silent cry turned to sobs as he realized Tadashi was not coming back. Ever.

A noise came to his ears and he turned his head to the left towards it's source.

Tadashi?

He blinked repeatedly, wiping his tears away. He squinted his eyes to see better in the darkness. He could make a faint outline of a creature, walking in all fours. Hiro's heart raced when the creature's eyes looked at him with anger. Bright eyes meeting dark chocolate ones. It let out a roar and started sprinting towards the younger Hamada.

Hiro stood up quickly and took off running, climbing his way back, not daring to look back.

"THIS WORLD IS NOT REAL!"

Tadashi screamed as he sat up with a jolt. All his body was covered in sweat and he felt his heart beating rapidly.

Breathe. It was just a dream. More like a nightmare. He could remember the pain he felt when the floor gave away and the rocks crushed him, killing him. His chest still felt as it was compressed, making it hard for him to breathe.

He closed his eyes and grabbed the bridge of his nose. How could he have forgotten something so important?

Right there he remembered when he, himself, wrote those words on the walls: Everything's a lie, this world's not real, we are dreaming, etc. He massaged his temples with his fingers.

"Are you okay Hiro?" When he didn't get a response, he got worried. He turned to his side and saw Hiro still asleep. He frowned.

"Hiro?". His little brother showed no response. Tadashi grabbed his shoulders, shaking them slightly.

"Come on knucklehead wake up". Hiro didn't even stir. He kept sleeping peacefully.

Tadashi's eyes followed the cable attached into his brother's wrist to the grey briefcase, which was still making it's hissing noise, signaling that the device was still active and going.

"Oh no...". His eyes moved from the briefcase to his little brother. Worry creeping inside of him. He couldn't turn the machine off, but there was still half an hour on the clock. That was a lot of time for Hiro to be alone. And he remembered the look of pure fear on his brother face as he was falling down. Tadashi deduced that Hiro was still inside and he also didn't know that he was dreaming. He will think that his world is real. He had to get him back.

Frowning with determination, he grabbed his wire once again attaching it to his wrist. He laid down on the cold floor and let the drug made it's way through his system. His eye lids felt heavy and he gave in, letting the darkness consume him.

Tadashi's eyes snapped opened. As soon as he did, he noticed that something was wrong. A cold breeze hit against his face. The breeze was moving his hair in all directions. He crossed his arms and rubbed his arms in attempt to get some warmth.

Looking up, the sky was grey. It seemed like it was about to rain any moment now. Looking down, the whole the city they had once built, was now deteriorated. Windows were broken everywhere and the buildings were all dirty from smoke and dirt. It felt as if decades had gone by. But it couldn't have been such a long time, could it? He had been awake for only a few seconds.

Focusing on finding Hiro, he made his way through the city to the building they used to work in. That was the only place he thought Hiro would be. He walked quietly down the street. When the building's front door came to view, he started jogging. He played close attention to the ground, making sure not to fall once again. He passed through the hole he had fallen a few seconds ago and shuddered at the memory of the pain he'd experienced.

"Hiro?" He called quietly but got no response. He climbed the stairs and made his way to their old working room. He thought that maybe Hiro had done some progress on the proyects they were working on but his eyes widened at what he saw. Papers and blueprints were scattered all over the concrete floor. He made his way slowly inside the room taking in his surroundings. He was confused. It felt like a storm wrecked the whole place. He even found pieces on the floor that belonged to the robot they had finished. Well, almost finished. Now, it had been dismantled.

What in the world happened in here?

A sudden clang made him turn his head to his right. A few feet in front of him there a thin figure kneeling on the floor. Their clothes were too small and short for him and the jacket and jean's bright colors were now faded. His jeans legs were covered in holes as well as his shoes.

Tadashi wondered who this person was. He was much different from his brother. He was taller and had more muscle in his shoulders and legs. But now that he thought about it, there were no other people in the dream. Only the two of them. Could it be him?

The figure turned around extremely fast and looked in utter fear when Tadashi's foot stepped on a piece of a glass. Right then, Tadashi saw those familiar dark brown eyes. There were dark bags under his eyes that seemed like he hadn't slept in weeks and his face was thinner and longer. Had he grown?

Before Tadashi had time to register what he saw or even ask what was happening, Hiro was already gone.

"Hiro wait!" Tadashi made his way through the room chasing after his brother. When they were young, they would play you're it constantly, Tadashi always winning because of size. But now, Hiro was getting the upper hand, getting further away from him.

Since when did he start running so fast?

Tadashi pushed himself forward and made an attempt to reach his younger brother. He stretched his arm and grabbed Hiro's wrist. The sudden movement almost sent them both to the ground. Tadashi stopped and so did Hiro. But that didn't stop the younger Hamada to try and keep on.

"No! Let go of me! You're not real!" He trashed and kicked, trying to get away from the stranger that resembled his older - dead - brother. He was forcefully grabbed by his shoulders and he looked up with fear.

"What are you talking about!? I am real!" Tadashi screamed at his brother. He then saw the fear and confusion on Hiro's eyes and forced himself to relaxed a little. He let go of him, but he was ready to go after his brother if he decided to take off again.

"Hiro. Look at me. I am real."

"But... you died. I saw you.. you got - you got crushed - almost two years ago"

Tadashi's mouth fell in disbelief. Two years? Two whole years!? Now he understood why Hiro looked so different. Two years had gone by. He was now 16. Oh my ...

"How are - how are you still alive? Where have you been all this time? Hiro asked in confussion and sadness.

"Hiro it might sound crazy but - " Tadashi was interrupted when a hissing noise came closer to them and he frowned in confusion. He turned around to ask Hiro what was that all about but he hadn't expected to see Hiro so afraid of whatever had made that nois.

"We have to go now!" He grabbed his older brother and ran up the stairs, he didn't stop. Not even to catch his breath. Tadashi was loosing his breath, gasping for oxygen while Hiro was actually taking it better than him. Hiro was used to running away from those creatures. Ever since they had appeared, they were always after him. He never knew how they found him but they always did no matte where he was.

They reached the rooftop with nowhere else to go.

While Hiro was making sure to close the door behind him, and looking for any objects to barricade the door, Tadashi was actually looking at the building's edge.

Yes! A nice and painless death. Well mostly painless.

"Come on. We have to jump." Tadashi ran towards the rooftops edge and looked down.

"What are you thinking!?" Hiro grabbed his arm and pulled him further away from danger. Tadashi looked back at him in confusion.

"You could have died" Hiro said angrily. Seriously, what was his brother thinking? He had already been taken from him once, he was going to let that happen again.

"Hiro I don't have time to explain! We have to do this. I can explain later." As if on queue, noises could be heard from the staircase from where the creatures were coming from. They were getting closer and closer.

"No!" Hiro stood his ground. Crossing his arms. He demanded an answer. Tadashi made an exaggerated sigh.

"Ok ok. What you need to know is that this world -" Tadashi motioned with his hands towards the city, "everything you are seeing right now it's not real. You and I are both dreaming."

Tadashi looked at the door. The black creatures trying to get through. Seriously, what are those things?

"Come on Hiro. Don't you trust me?" He extended his hand towards his little brother who eyed it suspiciously but also with fear.

He looked back and forth, from the hand in front of him to the door and from the door to the hand. What if what Tadashi was saying was not true? What if he really died? But if Tadashi was right about the dreaming and all that? Maybe he could end his living nightmare once and for all.

Looking at Tadashi he extended his arm slowly, hesitating. Finally he grabbed his hand and Tadashi pulled him closer to the edge. Hiro's heat raced wildly against his chest and he swallowed nervously. He looked at Tadashi, who nodded slightly in a reassuring way, and they both jumped towards to their deaths.

Two pair of dark brown eyes snapped open and both brothers gasped violently, sucking every bit of air they could.

Hiro was visibly shaking, if it was from fear or the adrenaline, he couldn't tell. Still, his mind couldn't believe that all those years he had been alone were in fact a dream.

Those creatures chasing after him were not real. Just a figment of his imagination. But then, everything was so detailed and the emotions he felt were so real that he never suspected. He'd have never guessed it was a dream unless Tadashi hadn't told him otherwise.

"We are in the real world now right?" Hiro asked between breaths.

"Yes, yes we are. Why?"

"I just wanted to be sure." But then, a seed of doubt grew on his heart. Was it real? Or were they still dreaming? They had been in dreams within other dreams. What if they needed to go a level up? If they were still dreaming, he needed to wake up.

Right?

I'll leave it open for you to image what happens next xD.

So could you guess the movie? Yup, it was Inception xD Hugs to all of you who guessed.

Sorry that it was a little rushed but I kinda wanted to post it and also, I couldn't find my inspiration back yet u.u

So this one was a little more difficult to think about. But the thing is: Hiro created his own monsters out of his own fear (kinda when Fisher created the projection of his uncle in his dream because he suspected he was behind the kidnappings.) On this case, Hiro created those monsters because he thought that something else had to cause Tadashi's death. Therefore the creatures and also that's why he was afraid of them.

And as the movie says, time in dreams multiplies. So even though Tadashi was only awake a few seconds before going under again, two years passed for Hiro in the dream.

BTW, do you guys like guessing the movie? Or you just want to start reading the next stories knowing which movie it is? Just wondering. Maybe it's easier to know the movie from the start.

Next fic will be song inspired :D Yaay

Reviews are love
