Ok, so this is my first fanfiction, I hope I'm ok with writing these. I'm not going to give too much information about the story before hand...I hope I won't be give too much off. Anyway it will take from things I'm inspired from scifi-fantasy type stuff such as Full Metal Alchemist and Final Fantasy. Geeky I know...but oh well.
It's gonna be sorta depressing so...you've been warned. I'm writing this one from aibon's current position in h!p...which isn't the greatest time to be writing...but I'm not gonna wait till she's back to write this thing.
Chapter 1: Mors Principium Est
Aibon was back in Tokyo from her long suspension from hello!project...now working answering phone calls and serving tea and the like. She says to herself "This isn't the greatest, but hopefully I'll be singing again soon...I mean...I don't have much else I can do...I'm certainly not the greatest student..I don't like studying". That whole year she had layed around on her bed, moping. She didn't hardly feel like eating and doing so lost weight. And so at the end of the day she came home from work. She felt as it had been a while since she while since she was working, dancing onstage and singing.
Now at her apartment in Tokyo she layed down and turned on the television, hoping there was a good drama on. After a bit of channel surfing she turns it on a news channel. It seems that terrorism was not decreasing as George Bush would've liked...but is increasing in number...at a rather alarming rate. Also on the news was several breaking new advances in medicine, a cure for cancer and a cure for aids. Scientists were able to find which genes caused certain people to be immune to aids and which ones weren't. There was an immediate effort to bring this advance to those in Africa who were suffering most from it. Indeed there was a scramble from everyone who needed it to get it. The modification was free of charge and available to anyone who needed it. However, because of so many people needing it...it was tough to get a spot in line for treatment.
Aibon didn't like watching the news very much, but this news on medicine was rather wonderful. They news reporters went on to discuss many more discoveries in human modification. Such as even sports enhancement was a very likely in the near future. Aibon thought to herself, "Wow..I've never been very good at sports...to be able to just go to a doctor and become become a great athelete would be wonderful...if only I made more as an idol...I could surely afford such a thing". Aibon now turned the televison off and began to take a nap.
Aibon slept for several hours longer than her usual nap...infact...it was only four hours until she had to go to work. She wasn't feeling the greatest after awaking and attributed the extra sleep to catching a cold. Feeling nasty, aibon still headed to work as usual. After a little while of sitting at the phone desk aibon was beginning to feel particularly woozy. No longer to keep conscious aibon fainted at her desk. Aibon again opens her eyes. She is now at the hospital with her parents are beside her...crying. She's told by the doctor that they do not know if she will live. 3,000,000 have already died from this new mysterious virus that nobody has ever encountered before.
The disease is brand new...discovered the same day she had fainted. It was three years ago that this happened...aibon had been resting the whole time. People were frantically looking for a way to cure it. Those who caught it did not catch it by air so it was safe for her family to be around her. People were almost sure that it was something in the water....all water...as people around the world were coming down with the virus. Likely a highly evolved bacteria in the ocean.
During this time that she had been asleep Russian scientist named Bukavac had been working on her. He was a very important person in the field of medicine. He was one of the major people credited with discovering a cure for hiv. He made many excuses to why he was singling her out as far as studying her for a cure to this virus...but the truth was merely that he found her very pretty. Nobody was complaning though. He immediately helped boost her immune system so that she would be less likely to die and used her as his study for the cure.
After all this time of studying the virus it still eluded him to how to cure it. After all the advances in medicine and genetic engineering he had help to create this was still so difficult for him. It was a slow killer, like HIV and it only seemed to attack humans. And like HIV it attacked the immune system. But this virus was quite different.
When she awoke, Bukavac greeted her and told her in his rudimentary Japanese that he was doing his best to save her. Though under medical observance and treatment, she was still allowed to walk around. She talked to her family and Bukavac about things...how the family was doing...the world around them and just little chit chat. Late at midnight that night she awoke and took a walk outside and looked at the beautiful cherry trees that had blossomed. She might never get to see them again. She sat and wondered if there was an afterlife or if death was really the end. The sun was starting to rise as she sat there at that cherry tree. She felt sleepy again and so now proceeded to head back to her room.
Bukavac that night looked over at her, like her family so happy and relieved that she was awake again. He was torn...here he was in love with a person who might die very soon and was a celebrity...even if she was ok...she seemed so out of his league. He stood over looking, hoping she would be awake again the next day.
She woke up day and day again. Bukavac so nervous...didn't do so much as even lightly flirt with aibon. She slept and awoke normally for the next three months. She did not feel great but at least she awoke normally. After this three months she could not keep herself awake any longer. She fell asleep. This time her breathing much heavier than before. Soon she had taken her last breath....her lungs had now failed. Bukavac...shattered by this immediately puts her in a Zorya tube, an invention by him that would preserve a human similar to Cryogenic freezing. He was going to work on her after death..hoping to resurrect her. Bukavac immediately headed for his lab in the Ural mountains to continue with his work on Kago. Aibon's family had nothing against this as any chance of seeing her alive again was better than none. They all weeped for what they all felt was the certain loss of their lovely aibon.
