I feel a bit cliched at the moment. Writing this :: but I'm going to go ahead and do it anyway because I quite enjoy this way overused idea. Thanks for reading and rainbows and death scythes for all. Lady Grace. (^-^)
Aoba opened is golden colored eyes and groaned as he struggled to raise his head. His headaches had been getting worse and he was having more vivid and crazy dreams. He just wanted them to stop but they seemed to get worse with every passing day.
"M :: Mink?"
He questioned as he looked around the room he had woken up in. It didn't look like it was familiar to him and he hoped that he hadn't woken up in a Rhyme realm. It wasn't pixilated like it always was so it had to be something else. All that Aoba knew was that he was dreaming of Mink again. He usually dreamed about him and he knew why. It just never would happen. He was so cold and he had the most heartless eyes. That was no good for Aoba.
When Aoba's eyes finally adjusted he saw the black and white checker floor and a tiny door at the very far end of the back wall. He was able to stand and he looked down to see what he was wearing.
"Hey man! what the hell is the deal with this?"
He yelled as he picked up the hem of the blue dress he wore and noticed the long striped black and white socks. he had to seriously be dreaming. This wasn't Rhyme and surely this wasn't because of Trip and Virus and their stupid Morphine bullcrap. Aoba didn't know how he got in the dress but he knew if he wanted answers that he was going to have to go through the door that looked a great deal away.
He could feel something was rested on his head and was buried in his azure strands. He touched it hoping maybe Ren had been sitting on his head or something but when his hand touched the object he realized it was a bow that was resting there. He didn't know why he was dreaming he was dressed as a woman but it was so weird.
Aoba walked towards the door but it seemed the closer he got to the door the smaller in became until his head was touching the roof of the obscure room and the door was no bigger then the size of his foot. He had to be some kind of trick. There had to be another way out of the stupid room. Aoba scanned the room again with half lidded eyes but he couldn't see anything but as if it were magic there was suddenly a white small round table in the middle of the room with a vile of some kind of pink liquid inside of it.
Aoba frowned and walked towards the table. He really needed to wake up from his dream because it was disturbing and so wrong. He was wearing a dress, he was in the strange shaped room. Where ever Aoba was he really wanted to get back home. He wanted to go back to Noiz, Koujaku, Clear, Mizuki and :: Mink. He wanted to be where he felt safe with the people he :: loved.
He picked up the small bottle that was no bigger than his pinky finger. He saw the tag that was tied tightly around the lip of the neck.
"Drink me?"
Aoba looked around and he let out a huffed laugh. Who ever was doing this it was some kind of joke but there was no way out of the room. He didn't have Ren with him to analyse the situation and there was nothing that told him that it had anything to do with Rhyme or Morphine. Aoba really had no choice. He wouldn't have ever been that careless. He would always have someone stopping him from doing something stupid but he didn't know what else he could do.
He swallowed his fear and his pride and he popped open then cork from the little bottle and he drank the contents. He waited for some kind of effect but nothing came but then from out of no where he could feel his body tingle. It tickled him as it rushed through out his body and in a puff of white smoke Aoba had shrunk down to only a few inches big.
"Oh no :: what is this shit? it can't be good. I am going to get stepped on! :: Oh but yeah :: no one else is here. This is my dream after all no one else is going to show up here. But at least now I can fit through that door"
Aoba always saw the silver lining so he made his way back to the door. Now that he was much smaller it took a great deal more of time to get to the door but when he reached it he was small enough to grab the tiny handle and pull it open.
The sound of silence was on the other side but what he saw was a bright green forest area. It looked so peaceful and it was vibrant and beautiful. Aoba stepped out into the wilderness and looked up. Even the flowers were so gigantic. The yellow daffodils looked as if they would crush him if they fell. Aoba was in awe of the majesty of his surroundings. Where ever he was there was a path that was from the door and off into the distance. It wound in excessive waves to a point where Aoba couldn't see past a distant bend so there was no way of knowing where it led until he followed it.
"Who are you?"
Aoba spun around as he followed the track and came to see a giant mushroom that was covered in a mist of smoke. He waved his hand in front of his face and coughed.
"Wow dude. You shouldn't smoke so much. It is bad for you. You don't want to suffocate and die. Do you?"
He asked and eventually was able to see past the haze. His eyes widened when he saw the violet colored hair and rubied eyes. It was Koujaku!
"Kou'! You're here. You have to help me out of this place man :: where ever this is ::"
Aoba looked further along the mushroom and saw that the rest of Koujaku was a :: caterpillar? He really had to be dreaming. What was Koujaku doing sitting on a mushroom, smoking and looking like a caterpillar? It made no sense.
"I said :: who :: are :: you?"
"Kou' it's me Aoba. What are you doing in my dream? how did we even get here? Is this something from Rhyme or am I actually really hallucinating or something?"
Aoba coughed as Koujaku breathed another puff of smoke into his face. He didn't understand why Koujaku didn't recognize him. It almost made him feel sad that his best friend who he had known since he was a kid didn't know who he was. Where was Ren? Aoba really needed a way out of this dream or at least a way to get bigger again so he wouldn't get crushed by anything.
"If you want to be big then chose the right side of the mushroom. You can't be a cry baby here Aoba. You don't want the queen to find you do you? :: I hate that bastard so much :: Choose wisely. Pick the right side"
Aoba looked confused and to the mushroom. He couldn't understand what Koujaku meant. He didn't know who the queen was but what was more confusing was did Koujaku mean the right side of the mushroom or the correct side of the mushroom? it made no sense. But Koujaku always helped him out and he wouldn't be that cryptic on purpose.
He took a chance and broke off some of the right side of the mushroom. Aoba looked at the fungi and back to Koujaku. He hoped that even in caterpillar from he was still helpful and he was being honest. Aoba took the mushroom portion to his lips and he bit down on the vegetable that was colored red with white spots. Hopefully it wasn't poisonous ::::::
