code breaker

Water eyes

Bam! Another chapter complete😃😁 I think Toki and olive have a thing going.bhuh, huh? Haha who knows. Buuuut, I'm glad I can make Hitomi come back for a little while, even if it's only his presents in dreams. He gets a clock to! Haha anyway, hope everybody enjoys!

"Thanks for being honest with me Toki." I sincerely mumble, allowing myself to give him one kiss on his cheek as a reward, not giving him time to react before heading inside my house. My parents waited of course and I told them everything I did before going to bed. It feels like only seconds have past before I open my eyes again to a different room, one with clouds and sun, grass that could make any bunny drool. But there,con the midst of it all, I stand up with the help of none other then Hitomi himself.  "Hitomi?Hitomi! Why the heck did you have to leave? Why the heck did you....." He shushes me with his own voice. "Hmmm, strange, I would have thought your first question to me would have been how I got here," my eyes grow big at the reality of it all. "How did you." But again I'm stopped before I can finish. "We don't have that much time, remember that built of electricity I pushed into you when you were trying to push energy into me?" I nod, remembering. "So is this the last time I can talk to you?" Hitomi looks away with that laid back expression. "Who knows. Maybe I could come back." Tears make their way into my eyes again. "Oh." Again I pause. Not wanting to waste time with Hitomi, I make conversation just to hear his voice. "So, does Keane know what to do next? How close were you two?" He thinks about the question before replying with, "Keane can be trusted if that's what you mean. He'll find you again at the most random times. But, something you should know, Keane is a power user. He controls water, so make sure not to tell Ogami, he might not like it." I chuckle at his attempt at making a joke. Water does put out fire after all. Ogami has always been easy to mess with. "I get it. You lived for smiles. You lived to remember." He nods in that way he's always looked bad ass doing, before mentioning, "remembering. If you remember somebody, they never truly go lost. I don't want anybody else having to die because of who they are told they need to be. I just wish I had more time with all of you." Annoyed, the tears flow over as I rant on with, "So why didn't you come get me sooner so we'd have had more time? You could have taught me things! You could have made me better!" Nothing is said, and I'm reminded this isn't Hitomi, and this Hitomi wanna be doesn't know the answer that is now lost with the real one. So I change the topic. "So, is this kind of like a goodbye?" I ask, unable to fight a crack in my voice. Hitomi says nothing, very unlike him. "It's very unlike you to go mute from my scowling." He gives a breath like laugh. "It's very unusual for you to scowl." This time I face him again, not with tears, but with a smile. He's giving me his final challenge, to remember him with a smile. My eyes open, the scene before me changes to the ceiling of my bedroom. It feels like it's been ages since I've come back into the real world and abandon the one of dreams. Still, I finally realized what Hitomi wanted most in the world besides remembrance or revenge, and that dream of his gives all the code breakers and non power users alike a brighter outlook. He brought so many lights that I doubt will ever fade, and he doesn't even know it. Huh? What's this? There's a piece of paper on my stomach that wasn't there before...  When I open it, it's written in Hitomi's hand writing.

Dear Olive,

If I'm not the one giving this to you, I'm sorry. Keane is a good guy, so he'll hand it over... This being my last letter. I just wanted you to know that if I plan to give you a little of my power, it's a message you'll receive in your dreams. I'm not sure how many time I can talk to you then, but at least you can ask me questions, more or less. I'm sorry I could give you all your memories back, believe me it was my intention to. Your powers are great, you are code zero, remember? Don't go back to Eden. Don't avenge me. Live your life olive, that's my last request. Remember, when my time is right, can I really come on back when my time is up? Remember me. I'll be at a place you'll always remember me. 

Sincerely, your bad ass brother

when the time is right, can i really come on back when my time is up? Was that a typo? He must have been tired writing this. I wake up, to my alarm clock this time, with wild hair and a crazy look in my eye because of it, mellowing out after my long locks get braided. My morning routine is a breeze and before I know it, I'm off to school before Sakura. I peek around the house door a little, forgetting that all the code breakers are probably gone by now. Their mission is done after all. But, being alone isn't good, Hitomi pops into my mind way to much. Just then, Keane pops his head from around the tree at the park. Ready to release my frustration by teasing, I don't even say hello before barking a, "Creepy much? I didn't know you just waited around the park for me to come walking around." Keane doesn't mind my attitude, instead, he tries to lighten it with, "you should be honored, I don't wait behind a tree to greet just anybody." Before slinging his arm around me while I wonder whether I should shake him off or not. I decide against it, cause..... He's the only thing I have left of Hitomi, more or less. "I have something to show you." Keane mumbles in my ear before sweeping me away. Guess I'll be a little late for school today. Heck, I was early anyway. "So is this some kind of date?" I tease, anything to get my mind off of death. Keane smiles, but it doesn't reach his eyes. Where is he taking mea. Well, Keane doesn't take me too the park or to the store, instead, we got to a building I've only seen once.... The building with the clocks. "Not where I'd picture our first date, but I guess it'll do." I attempt to sound happy, I make sure my voice doesn't shatter, but, the tears I thought ran out come back... And that's something I can't hide in this situation. Keane doesn't sassily reply to my mentioning of our "date", but instead brings me to the couch were he snags something from under it. That's right! This is where Hitomi told me to go! "Just wanted to make sure you don't forget. Hitomi wouldn't have like it. He would have been rolling in his gave had I not showed you." "Yeah... So he was right, there was something under the couch. Huh." Keane hands me the clock. I walk over to the wall, then hang the clock with the exact time of Hitomi's death. he'd want this, he'd want to be with everybody, i continuously attempt to convince myself, but i wish i could have asked him before hand....... in person. why did he refuse my power? why did he refuse to be saved? was the fact that he couldn't use his power to much for him to bear? or was it something else? i let my head hang, my hands still desperately grasping Hitmoi's clock like my life depended on it. i kind of felt like if i let go, i'd lose him entirely. its sad to think a hard core bad ass like me could sink so low as to be dependent on a clock for strength. "Because it was Hitomi's favorite." i thought to myself. sigh. I'll be at a place where you'll always remember me. the last note from Hitomi rushed to my mind, his last words. taking out the note, i swear i reread it about a million times, but i reread it again. Remember me. Are his last words to me in person, thats why he used just enough power to give me back memories of us together. the only thing he ever wanted was to be remembered, and i'll make sure he is..... All the code breakers will make sure he is. tears weal  up from my eyes for the first time since i can remember, which was a good week ago, and my grip tightens again. "Fool." my voice sounds so pathetic it sickens me. i sniff, rub my eyes and try to get a grip. "Stupid fool!......... I'll make sure your remembered." letting go of the clock, my hands felt empty, so i do the obvious thing and snatch it again. why cant i let it go? my vision is still blurry, but i see a tiny chip with a paper strip barley visible sticking out of the clock. confused, i retrieve the clock off the wall and turn  it around to open it.  then his note made sense!! when the time is right, can i really come on back when my time is up? i thought it was a typo on his part, but it all fit!! he left something on the inside of his favorite clock that can be seen when you look on the back!! laughing a little, i whispered. "you always spoke in riddles big bro." another note is found in the clock and as i take it out and read it, i just couldn't understand why somebody like my brother died like he did.
