THE AWAKENING: BIO-GENETICS

"Are you okay?" Yuki asked staring at his hand.

"I'm fine" he states turning to his blood weapon, the stick looked as normal as ever, he scowled.

"Just not in a good mood" he adds sternly.

'Hiro' Ten thought with shaky eyes, he was still amazed by what he did. '... he still doesn't seem like someone who was bedridden over the past year... his body structure, what he pulled off... its almost as if...'

"Ten"

Shino's voice broke Ten out of his trance, he faced him, but Shino's gaze was still on Hiro.

"There's something odd about Hiro isn't it" he states.

Ten gulps hard, he must have caught notice of it too. His gaze drifts to Hiro.

"Yes, there is".

Hours Later

Level 17: Bio-genetics Level

Room Hall

"Here haven't changed pretty much" Hiro said siting on his bed, he felt his hand on it.

"Its laid" he said a bit surprised,

"Yeah i kept it laid for you... you know with the vigorous training and all there wasn't really much time to visit so I did what i could do at the moment... kept the bed laid in case you came in" Ten said forcing a smile, he was seated on his bed also.

"Wow... that's nice of you Ten" Hiro said with a small smile against his lips.

Ten just chuckled slightly, Hiro frown.

"Is there something you wanna ask?!" Hiro asked curiously, he could tell from Ten's voice.

"This past one year... you weren't exactly bedridden were you?!" Ten asked with anticipation.

"I was... but General Anzai trained me a bit, i had to build my body because its too weak... it was under the Prime Ministers order" Hiro states firmly.

"I still don't get it... i know the virus cost you your eyesight, but you're a bio-genetics just as much as we all are, aside the weird thing you do with your eyes, its like a pure raw energy of your abilities going off all at once, but i have never seen you use any inhuman strength like we do... i saw how you defeated your robot, we all did... it was purely more of your physical strength... which is like crazy bizarre... i don't exactly get it... you are definitely in the Sp3 stage just as we are but still your ability didn't quite aline well with ours, its almost as if.... as if the virus infected you diff-"

"Ten!" Hiro hissed.

Ten froze at his outburst.

"Enough" Hiro said sternly as his grip tightens against the bed sheets in a tight hold.

Ten shaky eyes on him.

"I'm not something you have to figure out" he hissed.

Ten gulps but he didn't back down.

"But still we can't just over look the facts here... i mean this is an unknown virus we are yet to oversee what its capable of!"

"STOP IT TEN!" Hiro shouts rising to his feet abruptly.

"Can you even hear yourself?!" he hissed.

"You sound like them", his teeth clenched.

"You sound just like the rest of the scientist who wanna skin us as guinea pigs"

Ten froze at his words.

"So just stop it! I'm not something you can figure out! I'm not a puzzle!".

Ten head hung downwards, his body trembling slightly but then it seized.

"I'm sorry" he began faintly realizing his mistake.

"I went too far" he adds raising his head revealing sad eyes.

"Tsk!" Hiro made a sound annoyed storming out of the room.

Ten leaned backwards, his back hitting the bed, his green eyes fixed on the ceiling.

"Idiot Ten" he cursed himself.

Boy's Bathroom

Hiro allowed the shower to pull freely on his head, the leather black material covering his eyes still on, the thing got wet but dried up quickly, it was one unique thing about the leather.

He felt it with his finger, lining it. His mind drifts.

One Year Ago

Level 11: Medical Facility

"Do i really still have to wear these?!" Hiro asked feeling his fingers against the new black leather material Hachiro brought for him, for his eyes.

"Yes" Hachiro said adjusting his glasses.

"Its important you must, the virus around your eyes are still unstable, the components of the Ring will keep your eyes from going off... accidentally"

"Ring?"

"Yes... a name we call it... considered cool i guess," he said in an unpleasant tone.

"I see" Hiro said with an unreadable expression, his fist tighten around it.

Present Day

Hiro placed a palm against the tiled wall in front of him. 'Enclosed by this fate' he thought sternly. 'I hate it'... he hated he had to be subjected by some virus... this virus within him took away his sight, and yet was a blessing to the other bio-genetics, they were faster, stronger, fast healing abilities... but him... to him this was a curse, a curse he wanted to escape from... not just that he was now being singled out for not possessing the full traits of a bio-genetics.

His teeth clenched hard by the mere thought of that, he hated the feeling of even being vulnerable... but more he hated feeling different.

Suddenly he heard noises of laughter and chats as the rest of the boys stepped in to take a shower, all feeling free as they stripped and wrapped their towels around their waist.

"So what do you say let's do some push up and see who last longer than 3000" one said.

"I will surely beat you"

"Today was cool wasn't it?"

"My blood weapon is so cool, it merely just transformed when I touched it"

The chatter went on and on, as they occupied the rest of the shower space.

Hiro just silently showered, he washes his hair, the foam coming out more.

"We all have mastered our weapon, we're in fast growth progress... now those Kaiju's are gonna get what they deserve".

"Hey... didn't you see?... not all of us have mastered our weapons... we have a slacker".

Hiro's heart slammed a loud heart beat as he actions of washing his hair stops instantly.

"Kimura Hiro.... isn't it?"
