THE AWAKENING: BIO-GENETICS

"The world has ended!"

"Why do you keep taking things lightly," Shino said annoyed by her tone. How could she say the world has ended.

"Because it's the truth!"

"You believe it," Ten said certain she did.

"What's there not to believe? Some of us may consider not living anymore, we don't know what the Prime Minister will decide or do with us".

"What are you getting at?" Shino asked confused.

"Let's just pray none of them attempts suicide rather than living as guinea pigs, it could get so messed up," She said rubbing the tip of her dark hair that curved against her cheeks.

Ten shivers at the thought of someone doing something like that to escape the already ticking death clocks on their heads, it could get messed up just like the weird girl said. Ten clears his throat adjusting his glasses.

"Is this like last words of yours? Cause you wanna attempt suicide?" Ten asked shakily.

Sumi's dark pink eyes averted to Ten, she smiled ghostlily, it was dark and twisted.

"Been there, and not interested!"

Ten and Shino stiffen by her words. 'What's with her?' Shino thought sweating slightly, her attitude was annoying, her words made sense and her sense of humor was off the charts, Shino just labeled her as a complicated person to reason within several seconds.

"100 kids said to survive a virus and kept on lockdown, I can only imagine tons of messy things," she said ticking her tongue.

Ten's eyes trembled as his look turned terrified.

"We will never know until they start!" she waved her hair backward, rising to her feet walking away.

"She's an oddball" Ten said without a doubt. Shino's fist tightens eagerly, knowing what she said was partly the truth. 'They could do tons of experiments on us or worst'. Shino thought with trembling eyes.

"But she's right," Ten said once again, leaving them both in the thought of...'What happens next?'

Yuki a distance away from them, staring at her half-eaten food, lost in thought.

"Are you okay?!" Asano her roommate asked, worried, she was seated in front of her. Yuki held her head.

"The voices won't stop".

Asano blinks confused.

"What voices?!"

Yuki's eyes searched the cafeteria not seeing him.

"Yuki-chan," Asano said. Yuki's eyes averted to her. Not saying anything she rises to her feet walking to the table with food.

'Why is she acting strange?' Asano thought puzzled, she felt Yuki was dealing with her loss in her way.

Yuki grabs a tray of food, walking out of the cafeteria.

Room Hall

Hiro was seated on the floor close to his bed, his knees to his chest, his face buried in it.

Suddenly he heard a footstep approaching, his head shot up.

"Who's there?!" Hiro hissed facing sideways, he knew no one was in the room at the moment. He remembered when Ten told him to join him in the cafeteria but he refused, so who was it.

"It's Yuki!"

"You again, go away!" Hiro hissed.

Yuki just silently walked towards him, kneeing as she dropped the tray of food in his front.

She walks out. Hiro paused, he felt what she dropped. It was food. He stiffens.

"Why did you bring this?"

"Your body is weak because you have pushed your body too much with constant crying and movement!"

"I'm not hungry!"

She turns to him.

"If you don't eat, your body will give out. Unless you want that to happen!"

Hiro was silent, knowing she was right.

"Eat while you are still alive and kicking!"

Yuki walks out into the room hall elongated corridor, suddenly her brain sparks, she held her head leaning on the wall, taking harsh breaths, beams of sweat against her features, her vision became hazy, and she held her head with both her hands, groaning in pain.

"Stop it! Just stop it!" her teeth clenched, the pain became more unbearable, it was like her brain was spitting in halves.

"STOP!" she shouts in pain going on her knees.

"Yuki!"

Yuki gasps when she heard Hiro's voice, something came into her vision instantly.

***

It was foggy in her mind of vision, there was someone in a glass cylinder wide tube with water inside, having long dull brown hair. Wires connected to the tube. The figure's face is covered with something that could not be seen clearly, the vision vibrates and buzz like a TV feed.

'Yuki...'

Her name echos, like a vibration.

'Let me in...'

***

Yuki flashes her violet eyes open. She gasps in breath like she was drowning. Her nose stream with a trail of blood, she slowly wipes it off with the back of her hand swiftly.

"Yuki!"

She quickly turns to Hiro, who was at the edge of his room door, clinging on it tightly. Yuki's eyes trembled more just by staring at him. 'Why?' She thought. Her eyes fixed on Hiro.

"Yuki!" Hiro calls again. She blinks rising to her feet.

"Yes!"

Hiro stiffen when he heard her voice.

"I heard you shouting," he said confused.

Her looks darken.

"Are you okay?"

She was about to say something but then the rest of the bio-genetics came in, Hiro heard footsteps.

Sumi steps out of her room, her eyes on Yuki. She was there when Yuki was suddenly in pain, she couldn't help but wonder what her deal was, her eyes averted to Hiro and then back and forth the two of them. 'What was their deal?'

"Everyone can I have your attention please!" Shino said stepping forward.

Their attention averted to him, Ten beside him. He adjusted his glasses, clearing his throat.

"We all heard what the Prime Minister said" Ten began.

"And I know none of you guys believe one word of it!"

"Yes we don't believe it, but still we should look at the possibility," Ren said, they turned to him.

"The explosion did happen, we all know that, what if a virus spread along with it and we are infected".

"No doubt that might be true" Shino said with a stern look.

"But I don't believe the world has ended or that our loved ones are gone" he adds.

"You should quit bragging about this" Sumi said in a bored tone. They faced her.

"Whether you believe it or not I don't care but am sure you don't want to stay here and be experimented on like guinea pigs," Shino said sternly. Sumi fist tightens at his words.

"Let's face it, if they said we are infected like they said we are, then let's think about the possibility of getting experimented on whether we like it or not, I know any of you don't agree with that".

"He's right!"

"Who knows what they will do to us".

"We aren't even sure of where we are".

"What's gonna happen to us?

Whispers filled the room lobby of questions wanting answers.

"I don't buy the idea either of staying here or being guinea pigs," Kaneki said placing his hands in his pocket.

"In what I have observed in this room, there are no cameras in here just speakers," Ten said adjusting his glasses.

"If there were, they won't need a computer program to talk to us, they would have just done it themselves, and I guess that there are sensors to detect movement but no visual. In order words, they can't hear us or see us".

"I don't know about you guys," Shino said, they faced him.

"But am not sticking around to let them do whatever they wanna do with us. I will like to see for myself, the outside world, and then I will believe".

"Are you saying escape?!" Mirai asked with a look of surprise.

Shino nods.

"Now that... is amusing," Sumi said grinning broadly.
