Yuki's POV
A person stands in front of me as I sit, bruised and beaten on the floor. He had beaten me many times before, but I had never seen him this angry. His black eyes glittered furiously at me, his gaze communicating his feelings wordlessly. Suddenly, everything faded into darkness.
I woke up, screaming, sweat pouring down my face. The sun shone brightly outside the window. I knew what just happened was a dream, yet somehow it seemed so real. It felt almost as if it had happened to me once before. Also, one word kept echoing back into my head, "Akito." What that meant, I had no idea, but I had heard Ayame, Hatori and Hatsuharu mention the name.
Feeling slightly feverish after my dream, I got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom which was located in the room Hatsuharu and I were staying in. I paused for a moment as I saw Hatsuharu sleeping soundly on a futon next to my bed, his soft white hair caressing his face, looking as soft as swan feathers.
I smiled, thinking that maybe Hatsuharu would be able to help me remember. I walked to the bathroom and washed my face with a cold towel. I was about to return to my futon when I heard a knock on the door. I turned and walked toward the door, then opened it, a feeling of fear flooding over me.
Hatori was standing at the door with a serious look on his face. Yet, somehow, I sensed a feeling of inner warmth coming from him. It felt as if he was warming the air around him.
"Hello, Hatori," I said calmly, trying not to let the fear I felt from my dream show on my face.
"Hello, Yuki," he replied.
After a brief pause, he said, "I'd like to talk to you for a moment. Will you follow me to my office?"
I hesitated, and then said, "Sure."
Hatori walked silently up to his office, and I followed him. He gestured towards an empty seat, and I sat down in it, wondering why he had called me up to his office.
Hatori cleared his throat and looked seriously at me. Then, he asked in the same serious voice, "Yuki, have you been having any dreams lately?" I looked quickly into his eyes, a wave of panic spreading over me, as I thought frantically, "How did he know? Is it that obvious? Does that mean…everyone knows?"
All of those thoughts rushed through my head in an instant, but I was most overwhelmed by the thought that everyone knew about something I could barely remember, but had just seen a flash of in a dream.
Before I knew it, I was running downstairs, breathing heavily, and ignoring Hatori's voice calling my name frantically. I ran all the way to my room and quickly locked the door. As soon as the door was closed, I collapsed in front of the door, sobbing heavily in fear. Before I knew it, a pair of arms wrapped themselves around me, but I was too overwhelmed to look up to see whose arms they were, as I fell asleep.
