*NOTE: AN: I'm so sorry that all the chapters for my stories are later than usual. I had my drama rehearsals and performance for the past two weeks, I had to try and pass English, and I had to deal with a health issue. Hopefully, I be completely updated soon!*

When Meiko woke, she noticed that Miku had already left the bed. She looked over to see that it was only 7. Normally the girl wouldn't wake until 10. It was quite strange to see that Miku was up so early. As she left the room she could hear music being played in their yard. Meiko wondered out to see what was being played. She could have died right there when she saw Rin swinging a sword all over the place. Her mouth went dry and her body shook. Where had she gotten the sword from?
'Ah! You're awake!' Rin called, dropping the sword and running over to her. Meiko just stood where her feet were planted, unable to move one step. 'You should give it a try!' Rin said, pointing at the sword that lay on the ground. Meiko placed her hands on the girl's shoulders.
'Promise me you won't play with that again.'
'Miburi!' she called, pointing out her mistake.
'I'm sorry if I caused any trouble.' Camui ran over to her, bowing once he reached the two of them. Oh. She had gotten it from him. Her mind must have gone blank as soon as she saw the sword.
'Please…please don't let them touch it.'
'I understand.' Camui replied
'Aw… why not?' questioned Rin, her fun being taken away from her.
'I just… I just don't want you too.'
'But's its totally safe!'
'I know but…'
'You're no fun, are you?' Rin muttered, Meiko only just being able to make it out. Meiko sighed, turning her back on the girl to find the other three.

As she wondered through their household, she noticed how unusually quite it was. She checked the rooms to see that Kaito was still sleeping but couldn't find any sign of Miku or Len. She walked back out into the main room to see that both Camui and Rin were there. Camui was starting to read through a book he had found and Rin laying on the ground, complaining about her and her harshness. She stopped speaking once she knew that she was in the room with the two of them.
'Um…eh…'
'Do you have any idea where the other two are?' she asked, not needing to hear what the girl was trying to say.
'Oh…they left to buy some things.'
'What? We only just brought a whole bunch of stuff.'
'They said that they'll make dinner or something like that.'
'Dinner?'
'Yeah, for Camui as a welcoming gift.'
'They could have just used what we had…'
'Their inviting everyone else over so they went to buy more.'
'May I ask a question?' Camui asked, placing the book in his lap.
'Anything!' Rin jumped up, skipping over to him.
'What is everyone else like?'
'Leon, Lola, and Miriam raised Meiko! They seem really cool!' Rin said, jumping up even more.
'I wouldn't say raised but they did find me.' Meiko tried to calm the girl down but she just kept moving around everywhere.
'And then Ann and Prima are so pretty!'
'What about the other three who live here?'
'Miku is really good at singing. Kaito's really sort of shy but he's really cool and then Len's like my brother basically.'
'Wait. You're not siblings?'
'Nope. As Len said "We're mirrors."'
'It can be hard to get your head around…' laughed Meiko, still trying to get the girl to sit down. 'It took Kaito some time.'
'I have another question. What exactly are we? From what I understand, we're not human. Well, I'm not at least.' Meiko and Rin glanced at Camui, surprised at the question. Neither of them had thought about it before.
'To be completely honest, we don't know. Four of us have been around since 2004 and that question still hasn't been answered.'
'But we'll figure it out!' Rin called, running up to the doorway since Kaito had awakened.
'Where's the other two?' he yawned, walking towards the three of them.
'They went to buy some things for dinner.'
'Dinner?'
'Yeah! We're inviting everyone over to meet Camui!'
'But dinner is a pretty social event…'
'And?'
'Well…it involves talking and we can only speak a tiny bit of their language...'
'He's right. You guys should really consult us first when arranging things like this.' Meiko added, slightly unimpressed with the younger three's actions now that Kaito had brought up the issue.
'But we can learn from them!' Rin complained, wanting the other five to visit them.
'I think having 11 people in a house isn't the best for someone who just arrived here.' Meiko replied, making head movements towards Camui.
'Oh…'


The other two had arrived home and had started cooking. They said it was a surprise and refused to let anyone in. If someone needed a drink, they would get it themselves instead of letting the other in. Meiko never knew they could be that strict when it came to cooking. She was leaning on the doorframe of the kitchen while Miku got her a tea.. She had already made sure that the two didn't invite the other five to dinner. They would have to be invited over when Camui got used to everything. She even tried to see what they were cooking but all she could see were multiple vegetables and fruit.
'You two do know that Rin will fight to eat this.' She said as Miku brought over her drink.
'Well it's not for her but for Camui.' She replied, passing her the drink and fixing up her buns which had come lose.
'Can't you guys give me a hint on what it is?'
'Nope.'
'Why not?'
'We've already said that it's a surprise.'
'I know but surely you can tell the head of house.'
'Nope. It's even a secret from you.' Len called from chopping board that he was currently occupying. Miku skipped over the other sink to wash her hands from touching her hair and got straight back to work. It was worth a shot trying to get them to tell. Meiko walked away, sighing.

'WOW! This looks great. I don't want to eat it now.' Kaito said when Miku and Len brought over the plates to the four of them. As they placed each plate down, each of them admired Miku's decorating skills that made the dish stand out the most. The only person who wasn't as excited as the rest was Rin. As she looked over her plate, noticing that she could see all the different types of healthy food that were used. Sure, she had never tried a couple of them before but that didn't stop her from making the look she wore on her face.
'You gotta eat it, you know...' Len said as he brought his own plate to the table and sat, noticing the look she was making.
'I know but…'
'Don't worry, it tastes fine. We both tried it already.' Miku said as she clapped her hands together to give thanks. They all followed in suite and began eating.
'What is this anyway?' Meiko asked, enjoying the flavour the dish that was dancing on her tongue.
'Eggplant and Tomato Confit.' Len replied, moving his first bite towards his mouth.
'Eggplant? How did you how to cook it? We've never had it before.' Rin said, trying to bring it to her mouth, not enjoying the smell the purple fruit was giving off.
'We had to search online.' Miku laughed in reply.

They all ate the meal, just about all of them enjoying every bite that was rich with flavour and colour. Out of the six of them, there was no denying that Camui had enjoyed in the most.
'Was it really that good?' Miku asked him afterwards as he insisted on helping them both Miku and Len with the dishes. Of course they wouldn't let him since it was for him.
'It was. The eggplant was cooked very well.'
'Wait. Do you know how to cook it?'
'Yes. It's not very hard.'
'Do you know any other dishes with it?' Len asked, wanting to cook more with it in the future.
'Not very many but I could show them to you one time.'
'Really? Please do!' Miku said, clapping her soap covered hands together.

They all retired for the night with most of them surely asleep by now. Meiko could hear the soft breaths of Miku beside her. She made a mental note to buy a new bed for the girl. She had tried to fall asleep but her mind wouldn't let her. Her mind wanted to know why none of them dreamt of Camui. She could understand why both Ann and Prima didn't appear in her dreams but she couldn't understand why he didn't. He spoke the same tongue as them. Maybe as more came, only a select few would dream of them. But Kaito hadn't dreamt of him either and the other three were also pretty surprised to see him. How she hoped that the dreams continued. She really did like them. She tried to move the thoughts out of her mind to sleep for the night.


'MEIKO! I HAD A DREAM WITH THIS WOMAN IN IT!' Rin called as Meiko walked out into the main room the next morning. Thinking back the night before, Meiko realised that she had also dreamt of someone. A woman around her age from what she could recall.
'She was in mine too! She was really pretty!' Miku followed, both of them running up to her.
'You mean the woman with pink hair? She was in mine as well.' Meiko replied to the two girls. They both seemed mesmerised by the woman's looks. Meiko would admit that she rather gorgeous.
'Her skirt was so pretty as well!' Rin admired.
'And her chest piece too! It'd be cool to have something like that!' Miku admitted.
'I'm sorry to interrupt but did you say that you dreamt of a girl?' Camui said, walking up behind them. All three of them turned to face him.
'Yep. She looked so pretty with her pink hair and…' Miku started.
'Pink hair?'
'Yes. About this long.' Meiko said, bring her hand down to her thigh to indicate the length of the hair.
'Did you also have the dream?' Rin asked.
'Not of the woman you're talking about.' He replied, shaking his head.
'What do you mean?' Meiko asked.
'She had short green hair.' All three of them were surprised to hear him having a different dream to them. How could he possibly have a different dream?

AN: Finished this chapter! I actually had to research for this chapter with all the food/table related stuff. I should also point out that the dreams aren't accurate. If you were to take Rin and Len as an example, Rin would be dreamt of first since she was announced first with Len following her two months later. Not both at the same time as like what I have done with Luka and Gumi. Both of them were announced in 2009.

I'll like to point out that now this story is now on hiatus for the rest of November and the month of December as I start something new during the month. I'll be on school holidays in about a week so I can prepare a chapter or two but I won't be fixing them up until January maybe.

I will return to this in January and hopefully I'll get Luka introduced by the 30th of January (Also my 17th!) and hopefully finish the 2009 arc by March and with that arc, I can finally explain the dreaming system which I've said I would do multiple times! Thankyou for reading!
