The Transfer

Chapter 4

Yume's Dream

That smell. I know it from somewhere. Someone. But who? "Yume." Who are you? The silhouette of a boy stands before me in a blank world. He's too far away. I can't really make him out. I know him. "Yume, I'm sorry." He turns and starts to walk away. "Wait! Where are you going?" I try to shout, but no sound comes out. I start to run after him, but no matter how fast or how far I ran I couldn't catch up to him. I trip and fall. The sound of his footsteps stop. I look up at him from where I lay. A single tear glistens as it falls down his cheek. "Goodbye." He says. He turns back around and starts walking again. I try and I try to call out to him, yet no sound comes from my mouth. My eyes sting as I start to cry. Why do I care so much about that person? "Don't go." I whisper. Those are the only words that came from my lips. Those two words, yet they still don't reach their destination and he disappears. Then it all fades to black.

End of Yume's Dream

I woke up to one of my brothers gently shaking me. If he's gently shaking me then this must be Kaoru. I look over at him. He looks so worried. I want to ask him why when he suddenly wipes away the tears in my eyes. Wait. Tears? I was crying? Must have been when I had that strange dream. Kaoru moves to sit on the bed as I sit up. It's then when I realize that this wasn't my room. The host club was standing around the bed.

"Hey, Yume, are you feeling alright?" Kaoru asked me.

"Yeah I'm fine. Why do you ask?"

"Well, you were crying and saying things in your sleep."

"I was? What did I say."

"Stuff like "Please don't go."

"Oh. I had quite a strange dream.'

"Yume, if you want to talk about it to us you can."

"I'm ok." I put on a smile. They all seem to buy it. Somehow I managed to get out of that. Oh. Wait. I wonder what season it is here? It felt like spring, but it's starting to get hotter. I wonder if it's summer. "Uh, hey, what season is it?" I ask no one in particular. "It's summer time Yu-chan. Why?" Honey sempai answered. "It's summer, that means I have to start hitting the books right away. Being from a different country and all has its setbacks too ya know." I said. "Oh, I get it! Yu-Chan you don't know how to read Japanese yet do you?" said the chibi sempai. "No, I don't. But before I learn I want to take a bath." I replied. "You can use our bath Yume. We'll bring your clothes for you." Kaoru said. "Ok, now the rest of you out!" I say as I push everyone out the door. I start to run my water. As it runs I think about my dream. Who was that boy? Where did he come from? Where do I know him from? Why does it hurt so much when I think of him? Just who is he?
