I was in an unfamiliar place and heard a familiar laughter. I followed the melodic laughter and lead me to an abandoned church. The place is creepy, it is in a complete mess, and it looks like a war happened here. I searched around to find the owner of the laughter until I found an old Sakura tree. There, I found a girl with a brunette hair. She looked at me and smiled.
My knees were shaking. I don't know if I should be happy or what. There, I saw my sister with the same smile, wearing her favorite white dress. Is this for real? If this is a dream, I will never want to wake up anymore. I ran to her and hugged her. She hugged me back and kissed my forehead. I hate it when she kissed my forehead. Kissing my forehead only meant goodbye to me. Just like back then, she kissed my forehead and she never woke up. I hate it.
I looked at her and asked. "You wouldn't leave me again right?" I asked her hopefully.
Mikan only smiled at me and gazed at somewhere. I followed her gaze and lead me to an epitaph. I looked at her curiously. And she said, "I promise… We will see each other again."
She always keeps her promise.
This time, I let go of her so that I can have a clear view on her again. She was holding her favorite flower, Calla Lily and gave it to me. She walked away from me passing into the beautiful wide flowers. I tried to call her name but nothing came out from my mouth. She was slowly fading away. I tripped when I ran to her.
She is completely gone. I remembered the epitaph she was smiling a while ago. I walked towards the epitaph. I was astounded on what I saw. It was the epitaph of 'our' step-father. I guess my sister never changes.

…
"-up! You-chan! You-chan! Wake up!"
I woke up only to see that I was already in my room. I saw everyone looked at me with concern plastered in their faces.
"Are you okay?" Aunt Kaoru asked me worriedly. I smiled at her and nodded.
"What happened?" I asked when I saw a Calla Lily beside my bed.
"You were having a bad dream and you were really sweating hard. Are you really okay?" Aoi asked me again.
If I will answer her, she will keep on asking me the same questions.
I ignored her and said.
"Change of plans tomorrow."
To my surprise, aunt Kaoru only nodded and told me to rest. Knowing her, She will throw me some questions and will stop until she knows what she wanted to know.
I heard everyone was walking out in my room and I can sense that Natsume is still on my room.
I stood up and took a quick shower. Once I'm done, Natsume is also done in preparing the video games.
I got some beer from the refrigerator. I gave Natsume one and we began drinking it while playing. I know he was waiting for me to tell about my nightmare. But I'm not ready about it.
"Have you seen the girl Aoi kept on talking about?" I asked hoping that he will let go his purpose on coming here.
"Not yet." Natsume said and looked at me.
"Where did that Calla Lily came from?" I asked again.
"From the girl Aoi kept on talking about." He answered and shrugged.
I heaved a deep sigh and started to tell him the story about my dream. I know how Natsume is impatient. I grew up with Natsume. I know his entire secret, I know his feelings. We both have a terrible past but there's a big difference and one big similarity. That terrible past lead us in being emotionless, cold and closed to everyone. And that terrible past made Natsume play with the girls.
My instincts told me that I should go visit the grave.
