Chapter 3: Enough!

Kiku rested his head against the pillow with a sigh. Heracles was lying right next to him, facing the Japanese boy. Kiku looked at him, noticing the green eyes were filled with worry. He knew it was good that his friends were worried but a part of him thought it was bad that he was making them worry. Maybe I shouldn't have told them…they shouldn't have to worry about me…

"Sleep," Heracles stated randomly. "I'm going to sleep, you should too."

Kiku nodded. "Alright…"

"Good night, sweet dreams." The other boy turned over and turned off the light on the nightstand before going to sleep.

Sweet dreams…The black-haired boy faced the ceiling and stared at it. I should just stay awake…I won't get a nightmare that way….I'm not even tired yet. Quietly, Kiku got up from the bed and walked out of the room. The living room was dark and Kiku was trying his best to walk around and be quiet. Once he found the couch he sat on it with a sigh.I shouldn't make them worry...Kiku paused. I think they're all sound asleep...

He searched for the remote through the darkness of the room on the couch and found it not to soon. He turned on the television and set the volume to a quiet three. He could hear the soft voices from the show currently on as he sank into the couch. It was only around 11 so there was barely anything on TV. He sighed. What am I suppose to do...? I think these dreams are getting worse...Kiku shook his head. They're just nightmares, my friends aren't dying.

"Yes, they are." Kiku's eyes widen. That voice! But I'm not asleep!

"You're friends are dying and it's all your fault." The voice continued just as the TV went white.

The black-haired boy eyes widen at the television. "But...!"

The voice laughed. "Surprised? You should be, Kiku."

The screen changed, making Kiku's eyes widen. On-screen was Feliciano tired to a chair in some room. He was scared. "W-What are you going to do to me?! I don't want to be mortally wounded and forced to lay in misery in a pool of my own blood! Please, I'll do anything! I don't want to die!"

Kiku could hear the voice's small laugh from the TV. "Don't worry Feliciano, everything will be okay."

"N-No! Y-You...!"Kiku narrowed his eyes. Who...?

The tip of a sword came into view and it was pointed at the tied up Feliciano. Feli started to freak out and thrash around, screaming. Kiku starting to breathe shakily, afraid to see what was going to happen to his friend. When did I even fall asleep?! Did I fall asleep once I got on the couch? But- His thoughts were cut off by the piercing scream from Feliciano on TV; there was a blade stabbed into the Itallian's shoulder. N-No, Feliciano!

"Leave him alone!" A voice yelled and Kiku knew it belonged to Ludwig.

The screen turned to Ludwig, who was also tied up to a chair in the room, but he was bloody and bruised. "You Gott damn look-alikes!"

The voice laughed. "You want to play again? I think you do..."

Kiku's hands clenched into fists. Don't you dare touch them! The voice laughed more. "Well...do you want to take their place? After all...it is your fault."

A hand came out of the television, heading straight for Kiku. The Japanese boy scooted back on the couch as the hand reached him. "Stay away!"

The hand grabbed him by the ankle and started to pull him toward the TV. No! Let me go! Let me go now! He turned and grabbed the leg of the coffee table. He tried to free himself from the hand, but it was stronger. Enough...I've had enough!

There was laughter coming from everywhere now.

Enough!

Kiku jolted awake on the couch and sat up quickly. He looked over at the television, which was quietly still on, then looked over at a clock. Three in the morning...He thought with a sigh. I don't think I can go back to sleep...I don't want to...


Days passed; Kiku and Heracles was still staying at Ludwig and Feliciano's. Kiku hasn't gotten any sleep since the last nightmare, but his friends don't know about it. All four of them were sitting in the living room, watching TV; Kiku looked over at his friends, from the chair he was sitting in, with tired eyes. I don't know how much longer I can stay awake like this.

"Kiku?" Feliciano's voice snapped Kiku out of his thoughts. Kiku looked over at the Italian, who had his head tilted to the side. "You ok? You're spacying out."

"Oh, I'm sorry," The black-haired boy gave Feliciano a small, assuring smile. "I'm fine."

Feliciano fell silent as he looked back at the television and leaned against Ludwig. After a few minutes, Kiku stood up from his chair. "I'm going to go make some tea..."

He walked into the kitchen and started to make tea. Once made, he poured some into a cup and he blew on it to cool it down. Kiku felt even more tired as he drank the tea. No...I got to stay awake...His eyelids were growing heavy and he was struggling to keep them open. No...It was even hard to think. And soon...he blacked out.

When Kiku came to, he found himself laying on the guest bedroom with his friends by him. Feliciano was the first to speak. "You're ok!"

"I...passed out?" Kiku asked carefully and quietly.

Heracles nodded. "Yes, and for quite a while. About two hours I suppose."

"Oh..." Kiku looked down at the blanket.

Heracles stared at him for a long moment. "You sure you're ok?...I know you haven't been sleeping."

Kiku's eyes widen slightly and he looked up at Heracles, so did Ludwig and Feliciano. Heracles sat on the edge of the bed. "Whenever I seemed to wake up, you looked like you were trying to act asleep."

"So...you do know," Kiku sighed.

"How many days have you been awake?"

"Three..." Kiku replied, staring at the blanket. "I had a nightmare while watching TV...and...I've just had enough...I don't think I can deal with these nightmares anymore..."

"Hm...maybe we should ask for the others to help." Ludwig suggested, leaning against the wall. "Like...Xao?"

Kiku shook his head. "I doubt he'd help any."

"Arthur?"

"Maybe..."

Ludwig nodded. "I'll go call Arthur; hopefully he'll be able to help."

The German walked out of the room, Feliciano skipping after him; Heracles kissed Kiku before exiting as well. Kiku sighed and laid back on the bed. They're doing all of this for me...He thought as he closed his eyes. He wasn't even aware of the dull, red eyes that appeared on a nearby mirror.


Heracles and Feliciano was sitting on the couch as Ludwig was on the phone with their British friend. The German was explaining the situation to Arthur and they could only hope that he would help. Ludwig hung up once he and Arthur was finished talking and then started calling others. The two could only guess he was calling others to help.

After calling everyone he needed to, Ludwig sat next to Feliciano on the couch. "Everyone will be here sometime tomorrow, they're all worried about Kiku."

"Well, we're all worried about him." Feliciano said, staring at Ludwig. "That's what friends do after all!"

Ludwig didn't say anything, neither did Heracles. Kiku was peeking from the hallway, his face was blank and his eyes were very dull. "All your friends are going to die...and it's going to be all your fault."

Shut up...how are you here? I'm not even asleep...

The voice chuckled. "You don't need to know. I'll see you soon."

Kiku frowned and looked down at the floor. These...are just nightmares...my friends don't need to worry about me. So what I've been having bad dreams...they don't need to worry...yet...they called the others. He sighed as he walked back into the guest bedroom. No one else needs to worry about me...

He sat on the bed and looked out the window near him. "Just...what exactly is going on...?"

I've had enough of this...

My poor KikuT-T haha, well...I'm trying my best not to rush into this the best I can, so sorry if I am rushing.
