Chapter1 Dreams are the Future:
" Sakaki!" Karasuma shouted
Sakaki's motorcycle slid from under him as a truck pulled out in front of him. He tumbled to the side and laid there without any movement.
" Sakaki!" Karasuma shouted
Sakaki moaned and slowly moved and stood up and removed his helmet. He looked ahead as the truck stopped and two people got out. His hand shook as he reached for the gun and loaded Orbo.
" Stop right there!" Sakaki said
" You should be more careful where your driving witch hunter," one said
Their hands lit up and they removed they're gloves and particles from around the area were pulled into two orbs. They threw the orbs at him and Sakaki tried to block them, but they hit him and he was thrown over the bridge into the raging river.
Sakaki opened his eyes and sat up, gasping for air. He looked around and saw he was at his apartment.
" The dream, it was real," Sakaki gasped
He leaned his head into his hands and caught his breath. He looked at his clock and laid back seeing it was only 1:30. He closed his eyes and breathed in and out as he cleared his mind.
" Why am I having this dream?" Sakaki whispered
By 6:30 he woke up and took a warm shower and cleaned up before he went in. He grabbed some coffee before he left, then went to the office. Sakaki walked in and sat down in a chair seeing only Michael and Karasuma there.
" Good morning," Karasuma said
" Morning," Sakaki said with a mumble
She looked at him and said, " What's wrong Sakaki?"
" Lack of sleeps going to kill me. I woke up at 1:30 again," Sakaki said
" That dream again?" she asked
" I think it was, but this time I thrown off a bridge by this strange power," Sakaki said, " I don't know what it was."
Karasuma shrugged and gave Sakaki a pat on his shoulder, then walked to the back. Sakaki leaned back into the chair and closed his eyes.
Amon walked in and opened the door and Robin walked in.
" Morning," Robin said
" Morning," Michael said, " How's the mother to be?"
Robin smiled and said, " I'm doing fine."
Amon helped her sit down and placed a bottle of water on the desk. He knelt down and took her hand.
" Do you need anything?" he asked
" No, I'm fine," Robin said
He nodded and stood up then walked to the briefing room.
" Michael send me those files," Amon said
" Alright," Michael said
Sakaki leaned back in his chair and saw a glimpse of the dream. He sat up and gasp and looked at everyone.
" Sakaki are you ok?" Robin asked
" Yeah," Sakaki said rubbing his eyes
Sakaki stood up and stretched and stuck his hands in his pockets. He thought he would go talk to Amon about the dreams and find out if he maybe able to help him. He walked into the briefing room, then stood there.
" Amon can I speak to you?" Sakaki asked
Amon looked up and nodded and Sakaki took a seat across.
" I've been having these weird dreams, we're on this hunt and they always end where I either die or become injured," Sakaki said
Amon pulled up a file and sent it to Sakaki's computer and Sakaki looked at it.
" Dream interrupters, but aren't we watching these," Sakaki said
" We are, but they can help," Amon said, " If you want this problem solved take your chance."
Sakaki sighed and Amon handed him a piece of paper.
" So, if I see these people they'll help," Sakaki said
" Yes, now just go and find out what they mean," Amon said
Sakaki nodded and stood up and walked out the room, knocking Doujima off balance. Papers flew up in the air and both tumbled to the floor.
" I'm sorry Yurika," he said
" Haruto, be careful," Doujima said
Sakaki stood up and helped her up, then they both collected the paper work.
" Don't be in a hurry, it could get you hurt someday," she said
" I won't hurry, I just have a meeting," Sakaki said
Doujima watched him leave and entered the office.
" Good morning," Doujima said
" Doujima, your late again," Chief Kosaka said
" I know Chief I was side tracked with other things," Doujima said
She sat down and placed her files on Michael's desk. He looked at it and typed them up. Doujima sat down at her work stations and Robin smiled.
" Morning Doujima," Robin said
" How are you feeling," Doujima said
Robin looked at Doujima and said, " I'm fine, it's been three months and I'm already feeling the effects of being pregnant."
" Well, a least you have signs," Doujima said
Amon walked out and looked at everyone as they worked.
" Hey Amon, why was Sakaki in such a hurry?" Doujima asked
" He went to see a dream interrupter," Amon answered
" What!" Doujima and Karasuma exclaimed, " What for?"
" Dreams," Amon said
" But Dreams can't hurt you," Doujima said
Amon sighed and said, " Dreams are visions of the future, you can avoid them if you catch them early."
Robin sighed and said, " I hope his dreams weren't anything horrible."
Amon placed his hand on Robin's shoulder and she grabbed his hand.
" Nothing horrible," he replied
Doujima looked at Robin and Amon as they should concern for one another. Their relationship was already complete, happiness, marriage, and now a child on the way. She wanted that if she could ever find the right guy, that would always be there to protect her, keep her happy. She sighed and went back to typing and Karasuma looked at Amon and Robin.
" So, when is this child due?" Karasuma asked
" Well, we think in December," Robin said
" Girl or boy?" Karasuma asked
" We want to be surprised," Robin said
Karasuma smiled and said, " It will be a very joyous moment for you two. We'll be there for you all the way."
" That's right," Doujima said, " We're family right?"
" Of course," Robin said, " Where would we be without you all?"
" Far away from here," Michael said
Robin smiled and said, " We wouldn't leave you all behind."
Robin looked at Amon and he placed a kiss on her head, then sat down next to her.
Sakaki pulled up to a run down apartment complex and parked his motorcycle. He walked up to the top floor and knocked on the door, there the squeaky door pushed opened and he walked in.
" Hello," he said
" Hello may I help you?" a young voice said
Sakaki turned around to reveal a young woman holding a child in her arms. He bowed and looked back up at her.
" I'm sorry to disturb you, but I'm from the STN-J," he said
" Sakaki, right?" she said
" Yes, but how do you know?" Sakaki said
She smiled and said, " Follow me."
She guided him through the apartment and had him sit down at a table. There she sat down and sat the child in a high chair.
" Give me your hands Sakaki," she said, " I will analyze your dreams."
Sakaki put his hands on the table and she placed her hands on top of his, she then closed her eyes as he did too. Slowly the dream appeared in Sakaki's mind and he balled up his fist as he tried to fight the dream. He opened his eyes and breathed deep and she opened hers.
" Your dream is a vision Sakaki, one of your future. You may change it, but there is something else that the dream is telling you. You have to let it go further and deeper into your dream?" she said
" No, I always wake up right before I'm thrown into the river," Sakaki replied, " I'm afraid to see what the out come is."
" You mustn't fight it Sakaki, there's something more that your dream wants you to see. Try again and this time let it continue," the dream interrupter said
Sakaki nodded and closed his eyes. Once it came to the part where he fell into the river, his mind went black and he followed it through to the light.
~~~~dream~~~
" Sakaki!" Karasuma shouted as she slammed the phone down
" Miho, what's wrong?" Doujima asked
" Come on," Karasuma said
She pulled a gun and Doujima followed her. The two witches looked at them and Karasuma aimed her gun. Doujima leaned over the side and saw Sakaki hit the shore.
" Miho, he's on the bank," Doujima said
" Go to him," Karasuma said
Doujima ran to the bank of the river and slid down the side to Sakaki. She knelt down and looked at him.
" Sakaki," Doujima said, " Wake up."
She felt a dull pulse and found he wasn't breathing.
" Sakaki," she said
She turned him on his back and listened to his heart. She closed her eyes and pressed her hands on Sakaki's chest with time of her own heart.
" Breathe," she said, " Haruto, breathe please."
Doujima leaned over and gave him mouth to mouth, and still there was no breath. She continued until he moaned. He rolled to his side and coughed up water and breathed deep, she gently patted his back to help. Sakaki turned and looked at Doujima as she stared at him
" There your alright, just a little washed up," Doujima said
" Doujima, what are you doing here?" he said
" If I didn't come you would be dead Haruto," she said softly
Sakaki sat up and wiped the water off his face and looked at Doujima. She smiled and Sakaki looked at her then took her hand.
" Yurika…I…I don't know what to say," Sakaki said
" Try thank you first and we'll work from there," Doujima said
~~~~~end~~~~
Sakaki opened his eyes and breathed deep.
" I don't understand," Sakaki said
" You dreams maybe your future and there is someone that obvious cares," the dream interrupter said
" Doujima, I don't care about Doujima, she's just a co-worker," Sakaki said
" Just a co-worker, I think more," she said, " But you must find that out yourself. Can you face what your dreams tell you? Or do you fight them and only hurt those around you?"
Sakaki sighed and stood up and she looked at him.
" You are young and still have the energy to run around, but one day Sakaki it won't be like the good old days," the dream interrupter stated
An hour later Sakaki left and headed back to the office. His mind was focused on what the dream interrupter said. He came to the office and took the stairs to have time to himself. He sighed and folded his arms as the image of him knocking Doujima down.
" Don't be in a hurry, it could get you hurt someday," Doujima's voice echoed through his head
" No, I refuse to think that," he said out loud
" Think what?" Doujima said from behind
Sakaki jumped and looked at her and Doujima raised an eyebrow.
" Sakaki, are you ok?" she asked
" Perfectly ok," Sakaki replied
Doujima struggled with the boxes and Sakaki took one.
" Why thank you," Doujima said
" It's the least I can do after I bumped into you," Sakaki replied
The two walked in and everything just seemed to stop. They all looked at Sakaki as he entered the office.
" So, how'd it go?" Karasuma asked
" Uh, it was fine, I think, its a little crazy," Sakaki said
" What do your dreams mean?" Robin asked
Sakaki sighed and said, " Only that someone will care for me. The hunt is real, but there's a twist of fate that will occur right under my nose."
Robin nodded and Amon handed him a file with a new case.
" Here's the file you need to read up on," Amon said
He turned to Robin and Robin stood up and Amon took her hand.
" We'll be back in a couple of hours," Amon said
" Hope your check up is good," Doujima said
" I hope so too," Robin said
Sakaki sat down and said, " So, when is Robin due?"
" She said by the winter time," Karasuma said
" Boy or girl?" Sakaki asked
" They want to be surprised," Karasuma said
Sakaki nodded and looked at the files and he saw the two that were in his dreams. Kaon and Konki both pull energy particles, twins that say they are searching for the child of true power.
" Stupid kinds of witches, it's like searching for the fountain of youth," he said
" This is serious Sakaki," Karasuma said
" There is no supreme witch that is the true power," Sakaki said
" Robin is the eve of witches, does that make any sense to you?" Karasuma asked
Sakaki shook his head and said, " Nope, it doesn't, but I guess it will sink in sometime or another."
