"I wonder what he wanted with Bella," the teacher said out loud. This caught Shun's attention, he looked to his side and Bella's books were still there but she wasn't.
"Where did Bella go?" Shun asked Sarah, she shrugged. Dan was confused.
"Ms. Clifford, where did Bella go?" Dan called out.
"A young man just came here and wanted to talk to her, why?"
"What did he look like?"
"He had blond spiked up hair and a white coat on, why?"
"No reason," Sarah said holding the boys down from going to find Bella and Masquerade. She was really worried herself but Bella could take care of herself.
Shun looked over to Bella's books, there was nothing but drawings in them, he pulled her book onto his desk and looked at it. Shun closed the book and opened it flicking through the pages, getting more and more shocked with every drawing. They always had Masquerade, Sarah, Dan, himself and others in them but when he made it to the last one he noticed it was like what she was talking about in her sleep this morning. It had all the talking in speech bubbles and the drawings were good. He looked closely at them and noticed when she was talking to Sarah that said "Since when did you have blond hair, Sarah?" and it didn't really looked like Sarah, but more like Masquerade as Sarah. He didn't get it and put the book back on her desk and looked at the door as someone came running in. it was CJ.
"Yo, Where's Sarah!?"
"Over here! What's wrong?"
"Bella," was all CJ said before turning and running out with the three of them behind him to the caught yard. When they got there Wolfress was trying to comfort Bella over something.
"Bella, what happened!?"
"He sent my Bakugan to the doom dimension!"
"Witch Bakugan?"
"One of my Pyrus,"
"Witch one?"
"Does it really matter!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"
"No I guess not,"
"Oh yeah, he nearly sent me there as well!"
"WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" Dan exclaimed and looked at Bella dumbfounded.
"Hey Bella, Bella!? Are you alright Bella!?" MJ called running over, he was about to hug her but she walked over to Shun and hugged him, she wasn't happy and wasn't in the mood to talk to him. MJ glared at Shun. "Are you okay, Bella?"
"I'm fine! Stop glaring at my friend!"
"Why?"
Bella gave him a promising death glare, literally. If he didn't shut up and stop glaring at Shun she would do it. MJ gulped and walked over to CJ.
"What's going on here anyway?"
"None, of your business." Bella said flatly and looked at Shun, he looked down at her and turned around, he nodded at Dan and Dan grabbed Sarah dragging her with them.
"Where are you going? I'm talking here!"
"Well, I'm not." Shun said and kept walking with Bella at his side, clinging onto him for dear life.
"Do you like Bella, MJ?" CJ asked, MJ nodded and CJ laughed.
"What is so funny?"
"Didn't you notice, Bella and Shun?"
"What about them?"
"You're an idiot MJ," CJ said lightly hitting himself in the head. "I really have to teach you a lot don't I? But anyway, Bella and Shun, Sarah and Dan are inseparable,"
"What's that supposed to mean? That I can't get to Bella?"
"Not unless you want to get into a fight with Shun and Dan then no,"
"Your a great help aren't you,"
"I'll tell you about it later," CJ sighed and turned and walked off with MJ looking back over his shoulder even thought Bella and her friends weren't in view.
"Ah, where did you three get too?" Ms. Clifford asked as Sarah, Dan and Shun walked in the door, she shivered as Bella walked through the door and right to her seat with her friends with out a word said. "Could you write what is on the board please?" Bella grabbed her pen and started writing it down in another book. Shun kept looking at the book with all the drawings in it and he wanted to ask about it but he couldn't right now. When they finished writing it down it was time to go out and they went running out the door. They walked out to the cafeteria and MJ came over and sat down next to Bella, she looked at him and sat up on the table between Sarah and Dan but in front of Shun with a small smile on her face and Shun looked at her with curious eyes. Bella blinked and looked at the book in her hand and gave it to him. He looked at it and opened it. Shun closed it and handed it back to Bella, he stood up and put his hand out to Bella, she took his hand and got pulled off the table, onto her feet and they walked off.
"What's wrong, Shun?"
"What are they?" he said pointing to the book.
"These?" she looked at the book then back up at him. "Dreams and nightmares."
"Why draw them?"
"Cause, they mean something but I can never figure it out and I always draw them so I don't forget," Bella sighed. "But they're getting really confusing and harder for me to remember."
"How's that?'
"Well, this morning, in the dream, Sarah was trying to wake me up but I wasn't and when I looked at her I didn't see her, I saw Masquerade, as I know him as now but he looked like Sarah, and it's confusing and they've started to get worse," Bella said starting to cry, she covered her face with her arms and book. Shun took not even a second of a look at her before he was holding her to him tightly. Bella wrapped her arms around his waist and clung on as they walked. Shun sat down on some seats were no-one else ever went and looked down at her.
"So are you going to explain these Dreams and Nightmares to me or do I have to figure them out for myself?" Shun smiled at her, Bella giggled and opened the book and started to explain them to him, he seemed to understand but when he got confused or just didn't get it at all he would ask. "So that's why your always talking about random things in your sleep,"
"I talk in my sleep?" Bella asked protectively.
"Yeah, would there be something you wouldn't want me to hear?"
"No, nothing at all," Bella sighed with a smile on her face. It felt good to talk to someone about it. She could go to Sarah but she wouldn't get it and Dan was just, not really one she would talk to about things.
"And what about that ringing noise and that in your head?" Shun asked and Bella froze, she sighed and looked at him.
"The voice was Masquerade, talking to me and I now know why he was doing that,"
"Why?" Shun asked carefully. Bella smiled, he was funny when he was being protective and carious.
"Well, hmm... how do I say this..... He wants me to help him get the infinity core but I don't know why or what for or what he could possibly want it for," Shun blinked and hugged her tighter, Bella laughed and grabbed his arms with her hands laying her head back on his shoulder and his head on her head. "But you don't have to worry, I'm not going to help him," he smiled and closed his eyes. MJ was watching from a far and growled, CJ walked up behind him and cracked up laughing.
"I knew it. You do like Bella, well, your not getting her so I would just say give up!" he laughed and walked off dragging MJ with him.
