Me: Hi... I'm having a tough battle with procrastination... That and I also got another story idea.

Chloe: You're one of the worst people to start a fanfic.

Me: I know, but... I'll try harder! I promise! So please don't hate me.

Chloe: I think they already do hate you.

Me: Then I'll impress them with this chapter and make them change their minds!


~Chapter Four~

~Beware of the Past~

I don't know why but these people look so...naw there's no way!

"Aright class, these two could use a guide to show them around. Is there anyone here willing to do this?" The teacher asked, looking expectantly at the classroom.

Wait, weren't Andou and Hanabusa supposed to guide them? Why is he asking?

I looked at Hanabusa and Andou beside me, and saw them quickly raise their hands. I wonder if the teacher forgot that it was planned for them to show them around.

I didn't pay much attention to what was said, I was mostly looking at the new students. Midori was giggling, she was truly enjoying herself. Her smile was bright, yet elegant, like looking at a full moon.
She elbowed her twin and whispered something in his ear, which immediately made him look at the class with a shock. Our eyes met for a second, and I seemed to sense, in that moment, feelings a worry and eagerness. He soon relaxed and look at his sister with what seemed to be relief.

They soon got to their seats and the class started. Just going through the motions I got through most the classes, all that's left is the cooking class. I was curious about how good the new students were, they were placed in Group C.

"Umm, what were we supposed to do?" questioned Midori to her brother.

"Just mimic the others." Katsuo responded. This was the first time I actually heard his voice, it was deep and smooth. However most noticeable was that while his tone was harsh, there was a hint of kindness. It was pleasant to hear.

"Please be quiet!" The teacher snapped.

They quickly went back to work, but I'm sure everyone could hear their bickering whispers.
All I could think was about me and Natsume, my sister; we bickered constantly, but when it came to it, we've always cared a lot about each other.

School ended, but it wasn't as enjoyable as usual; ever since that dream I've haven't felt at ease.
When I was with the others I thought I could finally forget it all. However, I can't forget.

Why can't I forget?

"Is something bothering you?" I jumped as the new voice spoke, "Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you!"

"It's okay, I was just deep in thought," I said to the hazel eyed new girl.

"What are you think about? That is, if I can ask."

"It's okay; I was thinking about how a dream has... pretty much ruined my happiness."

"A dream, I don't know much about it, but I hear dreams can tell the future. Perhaps you not being happy is a sign you should pay more attention to it?"

"Pay more attention? But the more I think about it, the worse I feel."

"Would you mind telling me your dream? I may be able to help more is I knew more about it."

"Umm, I don't remember much actually. I remember... Ah! I remember being led somewhere, and I remember two sad children, and a machine that made me feel like I was put on fire," I said, but her only response was a weird look, "I'm sorry, let me try explaining better. Someone was leading me somewhere, and on the way I saw two children, one with green hair and hazel eyes and the other with blonde hair and green eyes. They were really upset, but I don't know why. Eventually I was led to a room and I was put in a machine that made me feel like I was on fire. Does that make more sense?"

"Um, yeah..." She said while deep in thought, "I think that... this is a warning. Is there anything else you can remember?"

"Well, I was short, or rather, young."

"Young? Then perhaps this is warning about something in the past? Yeah! Maybe something that happened a long time ago is going cause something to happen now, and the dream is warning you ahead of time!"

"A warning of something in the past, causing something now? Then, what about the kids, and the machine?"

"Well, I'm not sure about that, maybe they were taken from your memories. It could be that this is symbolizing what happened in the past, since I can't tell you what your past is, I don't think I can tell you what they mean."

"I see thanks."

"It's no problem! By the way, I know you were there in my introduction, but I'm Midori Hareo."

"Ah, I'm Ichigo Amano; it's nice to meet you."

"The pleasure is all mine!"

By the time our talk ended it was getting dark. Tomorrow I'm going to forget this whole thing, and if something happens, I already had my warning. I can't do much else. That was what I repeated to myself when trying to go to sleep. Over and over.

I can't do anything.

There's nothing to do.

I can't prepare for something I don't know about.

...

No one will come save me now.

:- ~^~ -:

"No one will come save me now..." My voice spoke on its own.

"That's not true! Even if it's against the rules, I'll come for you!" A boy's voice called out to me.

"Don't give up, friends stick together!" A girl's voice whirled around me.

Everything, it's dark. Where are these voices coming from? Why am I speaking against my will?

"You promise?" I said, again without a thought.

"Of course, I would go to the end of the world for you." The boy's voice echoed.

"And I would almost go to the end of the world," the girl's voice laughed.

"T-thank you..." Is it really me saying this? I have no say on what to say or when to say it, like I'm an outsider ease dropping on my own conversation.


Me: I seriously regret the decision of naming every chapter... I'm losing my originality!

Chloe: You're "losing" it? I thought you already lost it, I mean look at your first one! It was "The Dream", reeeeaaaaal original.

Me: Well, fine, I was never original. Just for that I'm going to work extra hard on my next title!

Chloe: ... How come none of my insults actually insult you?

Me: I'm a little odd; if you insult me I take it as criticism and then work harder. However, if you praise me I get annoyed because then I don't know what to work on.
