It was a moonless night, only the stars serve as means of illuminations. It was dark, but strangely enough, I could feel people staring at me. 'Be brave Kahoko!' Not so far from where I was standing, I could see a bright light. I am lost and I do not know where I am, that's why I decided to go to the light.

I was nearing the source of illumination and I could finally breathe easy. I arrived at the town plaza where a lot of people were gathered. There seems to be a festival going on. 'So, that was why the place is alit, there's a festival. I wonder if they could tell me where I am.' The townspeople haven't noticed me yet and I was thankful, I hate crowds after all. I was about to approach a young girl when someone noticed me. The festivities stopped and everyone stared at me. 'Great! Now I look like an idiot.'

"Uhmm... I was lost and I want to ask for directions." I said to the crowd, but they just stared at me. I don't know what to do. I was about to head back from wherever I came from, when I heard them laugh. The whole village was laughing at me. I could feel the tears threatening to spill from my eyes. I turned back and ran. I ran and ran but I could still hear the voices and the laughter. There were people beside the road and they seem to be laughing at me as well. 'What did I do?'

I was breathless from all the running; but at least the laughing stopped. When I looked at where I stopped, I saw an alley leading to a door. The door was made of oak and it was like the door you see on horror movies. The alley leading to the door was covered with old trees whose roots you can seat on. The leaves of the trees seem to block any source of illumination. In addition to the trees, the alley itself was full of holes and if one is not careful, he might fall to God knows where. Despite the scary atmosphere, I felt like these was the place I'm looking for. The door seems to beckon to me, and I found myself wanting to enter the door. 'Be careful, Kahoko, your treading dangerous territory.'

I made my way as carefully as I could. Luckily, I didn't fall to any of the holes. When I reached the door, it opened and I saw a beautiful ballroom. The chandelier was an antique, and the floor was covered with a beautiful Persian carpet. The walls were painted using light colors and in the far corner, there was another door. I ran to the door as fast as I could and when I opened it, I was transported to a bedroom with a handsome man looking at a window, with his back facing me. He has a beautiful, long, lavender hair that moves with the wind. I stepped closer and he looked at me. He smiled and reached out a hand to me. He seems to be waiting for someone—'no, not someone, he seems to be waiting for me'. I smiled and I reached out my hand. He took a couple of steps until he was able to take my hand. He gently lifted my hands to his lips to be able to kiss them.

"I was waiting for you, princess." The beautiful man said.

His face was vague, but I felt like I know him. I went closer to him and took his face in my hands. He closed his eyes as if savoring the moment.

"Don't tell me you forgot about me," he said with malice, "Kahoko." He uttered my first name with such sweetness that my knees turned to jelly.

"I think you need a little reminding" he said suggestively. He was leaning closer and closer. Our lips inches apart when he smirked. I closed my eyes, surrendering myself to him. Our lips touched and I could feel my whole body tremble with delight. The blood in my veins is singing and my heart beat triple time. He put his slender arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him. I responded by wrapping my arms around his neck. The kiss started innocently, but it was slowly deepening revealing to the both of us the power of the senses. We pulled away and we were both breathless.

"Do you remember me now, Kahoko?" He asked arrogantly.

"Yes, I remember you. How could I forget? Azuma, my Azuma." I replied breathless because of our kissing.

He smiled and I could see his eyes flicker to my body. "Very good, my love." He said while nibbling behind my ears. I moaned because that w as one of my sensitive spots. "And you better not forget it." He said as he captured my lips for another kiss. This kiss was totally different to the one we have shared before. It was deep, his tongue entered my mouth and I sighed with delight. My arms moved as if they have a life of their own— they moved over his chest and to his arms still wrapped around my waist. We both know that if we proceed, something will happen, but both of us don't want to stop. He led me to the bed where he gently put me down, his arms tracing my hips.

"I love you Kahoko."

"I love you too, Azuma."

RRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG!!!

Kahoko opened her eyes. 'Just a dream.' She thought to herself. Her eyes went wide.

"I did not just dream of Yunoki-senpai. " The flustered girl said to no one in particular. "Oh man, that's the third this week." Kahoko sighed. She was in no mood to think about the dream she just had. She was flustered, all her dreams this week seems to be revolving around one person: the incarnation of evil himself— Azuma Yunoki. To top it all of, her dreams involved Kahoko kissing her evil senpai.

"Aaarrrgghhh!! I must be out of my mind." Kahoko sighed again. 'What's wrong with me?'

Kahoko looked at the clock beside her bed and her eyes widened to see the time. She will be late if she do not get out of her bed and soon. She sighed and prepared to go to school.


Author's Note: This is my first ever published La Corda fic. I hope everyone enjoyed reading. I got the idea when I reread "Picture Perfect" by Neon-Fantasy. Reviews are very welcome. And I apologize if the story is not very well written. You see, I am not used writing fiction, which is why the story is not fully developed. I apologize again.

Anyways, as stated earlier, I got the idea when I reread chapter 12 of "Picture Perfect" by Neon-Fantasy. So I researched the topic and came up with this. Dreams have always been a source of interest. Freud said that dreams is where our subconscious meet with our conscious mind. Dreams are also where we reveal our true self because when we dream the norms of the society is not imposed on us, ergo, we can act on our true feelings.

In the story, there are four important symbols namely: the crowd or audience, the alley, the bedroom and the kiss. the interpretation is as follows:

audience - The world around you. Fear of your private feelings or thoughts being discovered. Being under observation or watched.

bedroom - Sexual meaning, partnership, intimacy, relationship. Has subconscious implications regarding the activities here.

alley - a restricted or confining situation that you have to traverse on your journey. Limited options.

kissing - Someone you like and want: wish fulfillment. A faceless person: your basic desire being met. Someone you know casually and not romantically: recognition of harmonious vibrations. A celebrity: trying to boost your self worth. Adulterous passionate overtones: If you already have a mate, it may be time to spice up the romance. If you don't, its wish fulfillment.

I hope you will read the next chapter. Thanks for the time!!
