Chapter 295: It Was All a Dream! [2]

A Week Later

Hiro’s eyes were out the window, watching the passing cars and then sighting the chemical plant in a distance, his orbs trembled for a second, he recalled the dream of it exploding and he gulped.

"Hey Hiro" He faces his best friend Shinzo sipping his drink from the straw. "Stop spacing out will ya? These past few days you have been doing that, is it because of the dream?"

Hiro told Shinzo everything and guessed his response. ’Ha ha ha, too many anime has ruined your head’

Hiro sighed.

"Come on it’s not real, why keep thinking about it, I have dreams like that all the time"

"I don’t know," Hiro said faintly. "But I can’t stop thinking about it, it felt so real"

"Yup those are nightmares for you, you keep wondering"

"But say Shinzo, I told my dad about General Anzai and he seemed to know him, do you think those kids in my dreams are real as well?"

"Who knows"

"Then why did I have such a dream of people I haven’t met?"

"Maybe you have met them but you don’t remember and supposedly dreamed about them, happens to me" he took a bit from his burger

"I see," Hiro said with narrowed eyes. ’Maybe I have seen them from somewhere and maybe I really did look up dad phone, that’s how I knew about General Anzai’ his eyes scanned the eatery. ’All this is real’ he closed his eyes. ’And all that was a dream, I should focus on reality and be happy...’

"How about we hit the game room after this?"

"Let’s play at home, my driver is already here"

"Oh sure"

Hiro walked out of the eatery, walking to the SUV packed for him, as he did someone walked behind him and he stilled, he stood like that for what seemed like a minute because of the strange feeling he felt, he was forced to turn and he set his brown eyes on a white-haired boy looking his age or older with a little girl by his side with dark hair, holding the white-haired boy hand tightly.

Hiro’s eyes trembled nonstop, and then he opened his mouth before he could stop himself. "Shino?" he murmured, was that him? He shook his head.

"Master Hiro is everything alright?" his driver asked wondering what was taking him so long to get in.

"Nothing" he climbed in and the door shut close, Hiro had his eyes leveled as he drove past the boy who was Shino.

Shino came to a sudden stop, his little sister Michi turned to him battering her big blue eyes and wondering why her brother suddenly stopped.

Shino’s eyes trembled. ’That voice...’ he held his head, even though it was faint, he had a feeling that someone called him, he whirled but couldn’t find anybody behind him, maybe he just imagined it.

"Let’s go Michi" he motioned with his other left hand and Michi nods with a smile.

’Odd... the voice is just like the one in my dream’ he looked to the skies, a dream that felt so real, maybe he was just him being worried because Michi was sick then, it couldn’t be real.

He look towards his sister and a smile found his lips, this was what was real how could he possibly think it wasn’t? Dad would be home soon and he couldn’t wait to see him.

The sounds of guns could be heard from the screen, Hiro’s thumb was fast on the gamepad, his eyes showing the screen, the gunshots, the explosion, and he was suddenly reminded of a scene when he fought the Kaijus, alphas, and Sand sacrifice, Shino, Ten, Mosu, Raiden, Sumi, Mizuki, Ren, Rin.

"Rin"

It flashed in his head and he held it with trembling eyes, the several scenes playing. He shut his eyes. "It’s all a dream, it’s all a dream" he chants to himself, this was a nightmare there was no possible way that this was real, and he shook his head.

"It’s all a dream" the images stopped at his confession and he took a deep breath of relief collapsing on his bed and watching the ceiling. "Here" he placed his hand on his chest and his eyes sadden. "Why does it feel like I’m missing something?" he clenched it and he imagined a white light in a feminine shape. ’That light...’ he slowly drifts to sleep, what does it mean? darkness took him.

Hiro

Hiro

Hiro

HIRO!

He gasped flashing his eyes open with a start, drawing harshly on his breath.

_ _ _

Shino

Shino

Shino

SHINO!

Shino gasped flashing his eyes open with a start and sat up drawing on his breath, his feature held beads of sweat, that voice sounded so familiar.

He suddenly yelped in pain, why does his left hand hurt? Like it was... He growled once again holding unto it, his trembling gaze to the bed.

"What’s wrong with me?"

_ _ _

"Solving equation... there are certain things you need to do, this and this and this" Their homeroom teacher explained in the transparent scene.

Hiro’s dull eyes fixed on it, he tried his best to concentrate but he couldn’t, he was unable to have a wink of sleep after hearing that voice in his head. At the back of his head, he knew it was that light, that very particular light was calling for him but what or who was it?

He turned his head to the chemical plant at a far distance.

"What’s wrong with me?"

_ _ _

Shino’s eyes were centered on his note where he was solving the equation given to him by their teacher and yet he was unable to solve anything because he couldn’t take his mind off the dark pink eyes that plagued his dream, they were so beautiful and yet so sad. His eyes scanned his classmate, no one had pink eyes in his class so who was it? And more importantly who...

"... Is she?"

The strong wind gust in from the window.

_ _ _

Hiro watched the passing streets as the car moved, he has been dulled since this morning and his best friend Shinzo was very worried, but he just told him he didn’t sleep well but that wasn’t the case.

"Stop by the amusement park," He told the driver.

"Why is there something you want to do there?"

"Just ice cream"

But that wasn’t the case, he felt a strong feeling to get there and he did.

Hiro stood in the center of the crowd, as the joyous people passed him by in slow motion.

"This is it," Hiro said.

_ _ _

Shino stood in front of the drug stall, not moving, the wind flapping his clothes, this was the exact place where it happened in his dream, he leisurely turned to the Chemical plant in the far distance.

"This is it..." his eyes narrowed, he could feel it, something didn’t feel right.

"Where it all began"

_ _ _

"Where it all began," Hiro said as his fist clenched hard, in his shaky breathing, he reached for the back of his neck, leisurely, drawing on his breath and beads of sweat hanging on his features and dripping to the ground. Several images playing in his head. And his breath picked like he was having a panic attack and then he felt it, and the strong connection and then a pair of mixed-colored bio-genetics eyes flashed in his head, belonging to the Queen.

Hiro

"Hiro!"

Hiro gasped facing his mom at the room door, she had a wonderful smile on his lips.

"Come downstairs someone wants to see you.

Hiro slowly descended the stairs after his mother, walking to the dining, Haruto faced Hiro with a bright smile.

"Guess who is here Hiro"

Hiro’s trembling gaze lands on Anzai, he gave Hiro the biggest smile.

"Yo Hiro, we haven’t met," he said chuckling. "I’m glad I finally get to see my godson"
