Bad Dreams
Here is the next chapter for instinct. Really sorry for the lateness. School and life have been, I'm just gonna say it kicking my ass. Hope you enjoy!
Gao's Pov
"Hey Gao are you ok? You don't look so good." Drum said to me. It was morning and we were getting ready for breakfast.
"I haven't been sleeping well these past few days, maybe it's because of all your damn snoring" I said raising an eyebrow and looked at my best friend, a bit annoyed .
"Just because you can't sleep well doesn't mean you have to wake up with an attitude all the time. What is it with you humans and sleep deprivation?" Drum said in exasperation, remembering when Gao decided to talk back at his own mother the action had not been taken lightly and it was not a pretty picture.
"Says the guy who gets mad over a cup of pudding!" I said not letting the insult pass by, though it was true I haven't been as positive as I normally am, but how would anyone feel after missing out on sleep for a few days.
"That's different, it was mine in the first place and you ate it!" the small dragon said enraged.
"ARE YOU TWO AT IT AGAIN?! IT'S ONLY MORNING!" A voice Drum and I knew so well boomed from downstairs, that the fight was over in mere seconds. As we yelled a panicked apology to the one who yelled.
Later on at school
"Alright class I have to go to an emergency meeting right now. So treat this as a study hour." Explained the teacher as he hurried off to where he was headed.
"Hey Kuguru do you have the notes from yesterday's class?" I asked hoping my purple haired friend would help me.
Kuguru look at me questionably then said "Alright Gao I'll let you copy my notes, but you have to tell me what's up with you lately, and don't give me some lame excuse. Baku and I are really worried. Isn't that right Baku?
Baku jumped in his chair in front of the purple haired female, as he's been busted for eavesdropping the conversation. He turned in his chair and said "We mean it bro, we're worried about you so what's up?".
I frowned and slumped in my seat staring at the blank page in the open notebook. What I should say, that I've been getting the same dream over and over about someone that I apparently care about but I don't know who, as they and other people around me die, and flames eat me away? Maybe it sounds weirder in my head than it does out loud. Maybe I'm going crazy without even knowing. Maybe I'm just being paranoid and they can help. They're Baku and Kuguru I can tell them. Right? No. Wait, yes I can!
"Uh, well I haven't been sleeping very much and," I paused. Here I go, they're my friends and I trust em. alright 1, 2, 3, "And I've been trying to make up for it anytime I can," I lied unconsciously. dumbfounded by my own words. That was supposed to go differently. A lot differently. I guess it's best for another time. I mentally sighed
Kuguru and Baku looked at each other not buying what I had said. Baku slowly shook his head and Kuguru said "Ok Gao but if there is anything else please tell us, alright?" and handed her notes over to me with kind eyes.
"Thank's Kuguru you're a lifesaver, I'll give them back to you tomorrow." I said with a smile, and went on to copying a few of the notes in the notebook.
My thoughts then trailed on to my two friends I really couldn't tell them. Huh, how stupid. I then looked at both of them laughing and talking with red faces Man, when will they ever hook up? ever since I could remember Baku and Kuguru had a thing for each other and though they are friends and are the same age they acted like they were my parents sometimes. There was even a time where Kuguru took a candy bar I bought with my own because I didn't do my homework, it also didn't help that Kuguru had a more delicate and mature look or that Baku was extremely tall by high schooler even adult standards including me. Especially when Drum came along so people passing by always thought that they were like a graduating high school couple watching over a younger teenager for the neighbors with his best N.A.P. dragon friend or something. Don't get me wrong I have a pretty strong build, the problem was my hair the clothes I wore. I softly scoffed and leaned back on my chair staring at the ceiling while my mind flooded with memories of Baku, Kuguru, Drum and I making me somewhat forget of the nightmare that had a tendency to just flash images of it in my head. I spent the remainder of class in my own thoughts longing for a peaceful nap.
The lunch bell soon rang and after changing my shoes and grabbing my lunch and giving the two lovebirds some space. I slowly walked up to my favorite spot on the school grounds and there was plenty of it with a small forest behind it. I was accepted into this sort of big shot high school, because of the last school I went to, the highest grade I could get was a near high though most times a low B or a bit less, but my martial arts training made up for it. Though most students preferred the sheltered lunch room. I liked being outside and not feeling cooped up. It was great, so great that my friends and I found this pretty cool place to hang out. There were trees surrounding the area and Baku even made a table in his wood shop class for it. I lied down by a tree and stared at the leaves that fell down till I drifted off to sleep.
The world was dyed red and I was running. Afraid and exhausted they were coming closer practically licking the back of my heels and legs toying with me as if they could just grab me when they felt like it, long red threads that burned and strung. Running down metallic hallways with little light, till the hallway just stopped. I was cornered and trapped, trembling and backing away till meeting the cold wall. The hallway grew darker and a shadow appeared in the near darkness, icey blue eyes full of lunacy and a crazy smile to match it stared at me eagerly, then everything flashed red.
Another Pov
"I'm here." I said to the earpiece in my ear.
There was a slight buzz "Good, you know what to do," voiced the earpiece
"Can I have a little fun?" I asked eagerly.
The slight buzz came again "I don't care how you do it, just do it." they voiced.
"Consider it done." I said then pushed a button to disconnect the connection.
I made my way down to subject Sun's Wrath. I looked through the information on the screen of my phone on the subject, he had a short bang on the left side of his face, covering most of his forehead went past his eye but not covering it and nearly below his ear, he had black hair but his bangs and the front of the hairline revealed red hair, he had golden eyes and it was clear the years had been kind on him, he gave off a sort of mean look that gave a misunderstood delinquent vibe. When I finally found him I stayed hidden he was sitting by a tree looking stressed and a bit l. He was gasping heavily, constantly looking around him. He breathed in air once again and slumped to the tree behind him he then stood up passed a hand through his hair pacing. He had a slightly loose red shirt with a sun on the center, really dark blue jeans, and a dark blue hoodie with another golden sun outline on the back and the sun's fire spreading all over the jacket in red and had gray cuffs at the end.
He then sat down pulled up his knees placed his arms on top of them then put his chin on his arms, staring at the wind blowing on the grass.
"Time to get started," I told myself. Taking the form of one of his friends, taking in the personality, intelligence, mentality and all other things that make them them. I then walked up to him.
He seemed to not have noticed my presence so I used my foot to slightly nudge his leg. This seemed to startle him as he jumped and jerked back.
Then in seeing me he calmed down and said "Hey,"
"Hi" I said and then sat down next to him then asked "Is something on your mind?"
That's the end of this chapter! Nothing beats a cliff hanger! Anyway there will be romance in this fan fiction. Those ships will be Baku and Kuguru and the other Gao and Suzuha, I'll accept other ships requested be it boyxboy and/or girlxgirl too. Another thing I will leave up to you readers is who the person that this mysterious character has turned into I await you comments. Have fun! and if there aren't any I will think of something. Sorry for lateness.
P.S. Next chapters name is That's not me!
