For once, Sawada Shin was speechless. When he had opened the door that was suppose to lead him to his class, was something entirely different. All Shin could see around him was a wide field of grass and trees spread out here and there. Wild harmless animal life was prancing around and the sky was clear. Shin could have sworn the sun was smiling back at him.

Shin brought up his hand to rub his eyes but as he brought them up, he saw he was not in his uniform; instead Shin was dressed in a dull colored men yukata. His feet were adorned with sandal slippers and feeling his right shoulder that suddenly felt heavy, he saw a cloth wrapped bag slung on his shoulders.

"Hey Shin," A voice that belonged to his friend, Kumai called out from behind him. "What are you standing in a daze for? We still have a long way till we get to Kyoto."

"...Kumai?" Shin said hesitantly after turning around to see his friend dressed similarly at him.

Kumai looked at him weirdly, "Are you okay Shin? Maybe we should rest a bit first? We still need to get you to Kyoto safely so you can marry the ohime-sama."

Shin ignored Kumai for the moment, rubbing his chin in a thoughtful manner while looking at the sun at the corner of his eyes and concluded it was indeed smiling at him, than looked at the animals around him, cheerfully prancing away in delight before looking back at Kumai. Shin than let his fisted right hand to drop on his opened left palm.

"Ah." Shin monotonously said, surprising Kumai.

"Shin, are you sure you're okay?" Kumai asked worriedly.

"I'm okay," Shin said whiling patting Kumai's back, "Let's go."

"If you say so..." Kumai said with a bit of hesitance.

Shin walked just a half-a-step behind Kumai with an amused look on his face.

This sure was a weird dream was Shin's thought as he walked together with Kumai.
