We're not given too much background on Shiori and her time with Kurama, so this'll all be from my imagination. Enjoy and review.


Opening my eyes was very strange, especially considering the fact that I had originally closed them for good. In fact, when I opened them, it still felt like I was in a black abyss, only, with my weight comfortably lying on its side. A weight saying that I was still living and breathing on solid ground.

A nice warmth surrounded me. I shifted. My heavy body moved to feel some light blankets. I stretched my hand to feel the cotton of my pillow. This was so strange.

I sat up, my eyes struggling to adjust to the pitch black. Now that I thought about it, I hated the dark floating world I laid in moments ago. Just looking at the dark light of the air in front of me proved it.

But I was tired though. I felt it in my eyes. For the first time in a while-if it had been anyway-my eyes felt heavy. So instead of investigating the strange phenomenon of the breathing organ in me, I laid down and went to sleep.


Hopefully you noticed I didn't use the word 'back' in the last sentence.
