The next morning
Pov (Kaito)
` "It's good to be home!" I said excitedly, "Thanks for bringing me back. I'm kind of ashamed that I haven't figured out how to fly yet."
"It's not a problem after helping me with Rom and Ram." Blanc in her HDD form said, "I may call on you again in the near future."
"I'm always willing to help." I said, "Just make sure to give me a few days notice."
"I'll be sure to do that." she said, "I'll see you later."
"I wonder what Noire's doing right now?" I said to myself, "Eh, might as well make my way to the kitchen."
On my way to the kitchen I started to smell cooking food. 'Who would be cooking this early?' I thought to myself, 'I'll figure it out when I get there.'
Once I arrived at the kitchen I saw both Noire and Uni making breakfast. "Well this is a wonderful sight!" I exclaimed startling the two girls, "I never thought I'd see Noire having help in cooking."
"Kaito when did you get back?" Noire asked.
"Just a few minutes ago." I responded, "I was on my way here to make breakfast myself, but looks like you two beat me to it."
"You can't sneak up on girls while they're cooking." Uni said, "How'd your day with Rom and Ram go?"
"Like I told Blanc; they were like little angels while I was there." I said getting a shocked look from Uni, "I seriously don't know what I did to get those two to like me. All I did was say that I'd play with them; then I read them a story."
"Anything else happen?" Noire asked.
"Blanc asked to fight me, but that was about it." I said, "I still can't believe how hard she can punch."
"What did you do to piss her off?" Noire asked.
"Nothing; all I did was show her my SDD." I said, "After that she asked to fight me."
"We need to get back to cooking." Uni said, "Why don't you go shower and change clothes, Kaito."
"Call me when breakfast is finished." I said, "After that I'll get back to my training."
After Breakfast
Noire's office
"You have any free time later today, Noire?" I asked.
"I should have a little. Why?" she responded, "You're not gonna ask me to help you train right after I'm done with my work are you?"
"I would never do that." I said, "I was gonna ask if you wanted to watch a movie with me tonight. Just the two of us."
"I don't see why we can't." she said blushing.
"I'll pick up the movie after I'm done for the day." I said, "I'll make sure it's one that we'll both enjoy."
"You better." she huffed, "Now, off with you. I'm very busy."
"I'll be back to make lunch at noon." I said walking out of the office.
Field several miles outside of Lastation
Looking around the field that Uni and I arrived in; I saw a forest In the distance with the main city of Lastation behind us and small plant life rolling In the rental breeze.
"In order for an APL to fly for the first time; he must first have a clear mind." I read aloud.
"A clear mind?" Uni asked, "You might just need to focus on one thing."
"But what should I focus on then?" I asked her, "The book is gauge about it."
"Try focusing on your bond with my sister." Uni said helpfully, "If that doesn't work focus on the time you spent with her before I was born."
"I'll give that a try. Thanks for the input, Uni." I said before doing as she suggested.
After a few minutes passed a pair of draconic wings (left one being black, and the right one being white; both having a thin blue outline on the underside) sprouted from my back. "It really worked!" I said ecstatically before pulling Uni into a hug, "I never would have figured it out if it wasn't for you!"
"Put me down!" she yelled, "I'm glad that you figured it out."
"I'm one step closer to figuring out my powers now." I said grinning, "Now i just have to get used to flying."
"Not that I'm curious or anything, but how far are you in that book?" she asked.
"I'm about halfway through it by now." I said, "It's a rather thin manual, but it covers the basics. I guess that the rest will be left up to physical training."
"I don't get why you didn't automatically know how to use your powers like we did. As far as I know; all the CPUs and candidates were born with the knowledge." Uni said.
"I think it's because subconsciously my body rejected the information. I'm more of a figure it out myself kind of guy." I said, "Let's head back. I promised your sister that I'd make lunch today."
"Your lunches are amazing!" Uni said being surprisingly honest, and out of character for her, "Let's go back right now!"

Noire's room
two hours later
"How did your training go today?" Noire asked from beside me, "Did you finally learn to fly?"
"I did. The book vaguely said that I had to clear my mind before I could fly." I said, "If Uni hadn't been there it would've taken me a lot longer."
"What was Uni doing there?" she asked.
"She asked if she could spend a little time with me, so I asked her to help me a little." I said, "I picked out a few movies that you might like."
"What are they?" she asked.
"Dracula Untold, The conjuring, or Blair Witch?" I asked, "They were recommended to me by the clerk."
"Let's watch Blair Witch. I've read a lot of good things about it since it came out." Noire said, "What are you waiting for? Start it already!"
Roughly an hour and a half later
"How'd you like the movie?" I asked.
"It certainly lived up to its reputation." she answered, "
"You want me to sleep in here tonight?" I asked, "I'll take the couch."
"If you're going to sleep in here; you're going to sleep in the bed." she answered, "We're together after all."
"Just let me go change first." I said, "I doubt you want me in the room while you're changing yet. I'll be back in a few."
Five minutes later
"I'm back, Noire." I said knocking on the door.
"Give me two more minutes!" she said from the other side of the door, "I'm almost finished!"
While standing in the hallway I took a look over my choice of sleepwear. It consisted of a pair of simple sleep pants and a loose fitting muscle shirt. "You can come in now!" I heard Noire say from the other side of the door.
After entering the room I saw that Noire was in her sleepwear as well (her pajama dlc from VII). "How are we going to do this?" I asked.
"We are a couple, Kaito. Just get in the bed, and we'll decide what's comfortable from there." she said red faced.
Getting in the bed we quickly found that sleeping back to back would be the least awkward. After saying a quick 'goodnight' to each other we quickly drifted off to sleep.
Kaito's "dream"
Apocalyptic Lastation
Residential district with crumbling and collapsed buildings scattered everywhere
"You can't leave me, Kaito!" a teary eyed Noire said while kneeling over my prone form in between houses, "I need you!"
"Don't worry, princess, I won't leave you by choice." I said gently stroking her cheek before standing up, "It's going to take a lot more than what that witch can conjure up to take me from you."
"You promise?" she asked as a few tears fell.
"You have my solemn vow." I said, "Now dry your tears, and give me a nice smile."
As she started to smile a look of utter horror appeared on her face. "Kaito! Behind yo-" she tried to warn me but was cut off by a fist surrounded by purple swirling drill-like energy coming through my stomach splattering blood on her, "NOOOOOO!"
"It's too late for you two now." A new voice said, "You were having such a touching moment too."
"Kurome; you may kill me, but I'll at least have the satisfaction of taking you with me." I yelled grabbing her wrist and transforming, "Noire! Run! I promise you I'll find you in the next life!"
"You better honor his wish." Kurome said.
"I'll come back for you, Kaito!" Noire said before running away, "You better survive this! I Love You! You idiot!"
"Take this, Kurome! It's my strongest attack!" I yelled at my attacker before pushing her fist out of me, and transforming into my Next Form, "May the afterlife be merciful to you; because I won't! Now Infinite Diagonal Impact!"
"Dream" end
The next morning
"Kaito! Are you alright?" Noire asked from beside me, "You're shaking like a leaf."
Not answering her I just brought her into a tight hug, and started crying.
"What's wrong?" she asked returning the hug.
"Just stay with me for awhile." I said quietly, "I'll explain once I feel up to it."
A/N: The poll has closed, and the CPU's are getting their next forms. Did you like Kaito's "Dream"? Anything you think that I could do better? Let me know in a review.
