As the boy walked to school, he couldn't stop thinking about the girl he met from his previous dream. He was curious about her like she was just like him, a loner. The way she showed her unexpressive state was so menacing to him, but seemed to be innocent. To be honest, he thought she was an enemy because of her deadly weapons that were so scary that made him believed like they were the keys to heaven. He wondered why she hugged him at that time. Did they meet before that he couldn't remember? Or was it that she resembled of his beloved who looked just like her? He could've wished that he had enough time to ask her about it and the answer to his strange dream.

'Maybe, just maybe,' he thought.

Suddenly, he lost his thoughts as he felt some kind of force pushing him back, causing him to fall over his back. He then felt his mind going to darkness once more. He cursed mentally as he hated for this to happen for his first day of school, only to go unconscious. As he opened his eyes, he was back at the strange realm. No sign of the Black Rock Shooter on his sight. He got up to his feet and went to walk again in the wasteland.

'I hope this dream will be over soon,' he murmured to himself, 'Can't be late for the first day.'

After a few minutes that seemed to be an hour, he was still in the realm as he continued venturing down the road to nothingness. It was then; he saw a figure from a distance, probably a person. He noticed it was wearing a black jacket with a hood to cover its head. He called to it in hoping to get its attention, but it didn't seem to notice. He decided to run to the location as he shouted 'Wait!' to tell him/her to not leave yet. Then, he stumbled upon a rock that caused him to tumble for like four times forward. He felt something dribbling down from his nose, he was bleeding. Ignoring the pain from his nose and his back, he got up again and continue running to the figure.

By the time he reached the location, he asked the figure.

"Excuse me, can you help me to get back to my real world?" he asked.

It didn't respond as it didn't turn to face him.

"Hello?"

…

He then touched the shoulder of the figure, only to receive something a vision of some sort as he black out once more. From the flashback, it showed a scene in the realm where there was a boy and a girl fighting souls together. The second scene showed them sitting at the bench while looking at the gray sky. He noticed the boy had a scar from his right cheek that looked so recent. He then turned his face to the girl who looked to be so familiar, realized it was the younger version of the Black Rock Shooter in a different outfit. She had a long black hair with uneven ponytails, a gray shirt that had a flaming white star on its center, black leggings with casual rubber shoes, unavoidable blue eyes, and a smile that was so cute and innocent. Her eyes were blue.

He then observed the scene wherein, the girl was giving some kind of a box to the boy.

'What's this?' the boy asked.

'Something to remember me by if you won't return,' the girl smiled.

'Oh?' the boy then opened the cover and was amazed by what he saw.

First was a silver necklace that had a star as its insignia with some designs on it. The star was exactly the same as from the girl's shirt. Then next were pictures. The first was their first selfie, in which they were not yet close and were showing no emotions, next was at a carnival, at a beach ( In the picture, she was wearing a swimsuit as the boy was blushing crazily ), and the last was them smiling and making a heart symbol with their hands together.

'So sweet of you, Rocky,' he smiled.

'You always think I'm sweet,' she shrugged.

In the third scene of the flashback, they were close to a portal that could lead them to another universe. The boy was seen wearing the necklace that his lover gave. They were viewing a projected image at the portal; a boy in a long term slumber in a hospital as there heart rate monitor was losing the boy's pulse rate.

'You still care for him?' she asked.

'Even if I severed my connection to him, he's still me, like a brother of mine,' he frowned.

'I understand,' she nodded, 'He seems to have gone too much obstacles. He endured his years in being alone until to the point of ending his misery.'

'He couldn't have a friend, unlike me,' he frowned, 'I'll never know when I will come back, but I will make sure that he comes back to life.'

'Then save him,' she smiled.

The boy then looked at her for a moment before he kissed her at the lips and moved back to enter the portal.

'When the time comes that he'll be entering our world, I'll be waiting for him,' she called out as the portal closed shut.

As the flashback ended, he was so curious to know how he could have that kind of flashback. He didn't have a scar on his cheek. And he never had any recollection of her, but only their first encounter. Was this flashback his'? Or it belonged to someone else that looked like him. He wondered of who was the boy from the portal.

It was then; he felt something being wiped off from his nose. When he opened his eyes, he noticed he was standing up. Then he blushed really hard to see Black Rock Shooter again, wiping off the dried blood from his nose with a tissue while gripping his left shoulder with her other hand. He was really starting to sweat like mad.

'Bla-'

'Shhh…' she shushed him, 'Please let me finish this first, and then we can talk.'

Author's Note: To be honest, I'm still in writer's block, but I'm doing my best to think of ideas. For this story, let me explain a few things that may confuse you guys. WARNING: EARLY SPOILERS cause why not :D

* From the short description when I wrote how BRS knows him. It was because the OC ( Which is actually me.. XD by the name of Ernest or EJ ) was merged with his Other Self called 'Black Vine Specter' or 'Specter' for short. Before, Specter had a long relationship with BRS in the Otherworld that his real counterpart didn't feel because Specter once severed his ties with his counterpart, completely separating them as different persons. Reasons why Specter separated himself from him because he loved BRS that he wished to stay forever and he had hoped that he would not affect him, but he was wrong. In the real world, the OC had suffered a major depression for being alone in his years and made an attempt to commit suicide, but went to a coma instead. Specter sensed this and showed care for his former counterpart, so he made a decision to merge with him to awake him from his coma and continue living despite being alone. Specter told BRS that if ever his real counterpart would enter the Otherworld, she would wait for him and love him like he was her real love one..

I'll try to think clearly, but for now, this is all I can take. Next chapter, I might put there the introduction of the OC and his counterpart. See ya next time!

*By the way, from the part where BRS gave the box to him that had the necklace and photos. For the photos, Specter invited her to the real world from their previous hangouts, that's why. :D
