Sorry for the long upload... upgrade... update... whatever! ^_^ Well... here's your long-awaited COMMON!

Suboshi's POV

It's back… the pain is back! No… please don't! I don't want to be a burden to the Suzaku warriors! No…

"Aniki… Aniki!"

"Quick! Get me the tonic!" Mitsukake-san ordered Tasuki. "Hai!" Tasuki ran.

"Aaaahhh!" I screamed. "Nuriko... hold him tight! Put something in his mouth or he'll bite his tongue off!" Mitsukake-san commanded. "Hai!" Nuriko followed. Too late... I was about to bite my tongue off when fortunately... or UNfortunately... Nuriko slipped his arm on the way and my teeth sank into his flesh.

"Hang... in there... Suboshi!" Nuriko struggled.

"Nuriko-san..."

In a village called Mystia

Please find me soon… you promise?

I felt dizzy and my head started spinning around... that's when everything… turned black!


I must find him... I MUST!

"But he's already dead!"

No... He's not!

"How did you know? You never saw him in reality!"

But-

"You had a thought message from him just the other day... Humph! You never thought that it's implanted within your mind, isn't it?"

I don't understand... what do you mean?

"It's the vision that you really wished to see..."

But... Mystia!

"Sure... believe what you want to... but, don't blame me cause I already warned you!"

Then... the voice disappeared.


"Wait!"

I shot awake and came face to face with Mitsukake-san...

"Eh?"

"Daijoubu desuka?" Mitsukake-san asked. "Uh... yeah!" I answered with a nod.

"!!" I suddenly remembered... "Nuriko-san!" I exclaimed. "Nuriko-san wa doko?" I asked Mitsukake-san quickly. "He's asleep... but, he had a deep cut on his right shoulder..." he answered. "I... I see!" I sighed. "Don't worry... he's fine!" Mitsukake-san tried to cheer me up, but it was of no use. I looked at my hands a recalled my dream.

But he's already dead!

I shook my head and closed my eyes. "What's wrong?" Mitsukake-san asked. "Ah! Betsu ni!" I smiled. "Just remembering about... something!"

There was a moment of silence. "Mitsukake-san..." I looked up to him.

"Nani?" he asked. "I... I have something to tell you... but promise you won't get mad... and don't tell the others okay?"

"Okay..." he said. He was in the table facing back from me. I guess he was making my tonic. It was good this way... I won't have to see his expression.

"Well... I... I'm going Mystia!" I said. "What!" I heard Mitsukake-san gasp. "I can't stay here, Mitsukake-san! I MUST find my brother! I can't wait anymore!" Mitsukake-san didn't respond. "Besides... I felt something happen to him before the pain started again. I don't want to believe that he's dead!" I explained.

He turned around and gave me the tonic. "Drink it!" he said. "Mitsukake-san?" I wondered. "It'll make you feel better!" Mitsukake-san said. I took the bottle from his hands and took a sip out of it. It has another weird taste... not like the original one I had. I quickly drank it and felt drowsy. "Mitsukake-san... nani kore?" I asked as I dropped the bottle on the floor and it shattered into pieces. I grasped my head as I dropped back into the bed. My vision was now blurry as I looked up. "I'm sorry, Suboshi! But... I can't let you go!"

"Doshite?"

"I'm really sorry, Suboshi!" Then, everything went black.
