Mmm... I yawn and open my eyes but..it's still dark...my bed feels solid and cold.

I turn to the side, and I found out I'm not on my bed. I'm not even in my room.

I'm in a black void..

I look to the floor to see liquid spreading...it's...it's blood.. And it's not coming from me.

I turn to the other side, and my vision starts to clear up...I see where the blood is coming from.

A fair distance away from me, there are two figures. One on the floor, bleeding heavily, the other wielding a knife, repeatingly stabbing the figure of the floor. Very, very disturbing..

It's then I start recognizing the figure on the floor.

O-Oh...Oh my God, M-Mayu..?

I can finally see her clearly. She's bleeding heavily on the floor, multiple stab marks in her chest, throat, and stomach.

I see her staring at me...with dead, colorless eyes..

My...My best friend...M-Mayu!

I try to move, but I was stuck to the floor, like metal to a magnet.

Screaming, and struggling, I try to reach my dead friend, but I won't budge..

It's then when I look up at the figure who was stabbing my friend. I can't recognize them..

They're wearing a blood stained jacket, skirt, and boots.

It's then when I break into tears, screaming at the figure. They didn't move an inch.

They just stood there after stabbing a few times. Staring at Mayu's bloody pulp of a body.

Then, they suddenly shift their head towards me. Staring intensrly at me, with glowing, blue eyes..

I open my eyes and let out a blood curdling scream. I looking around, I find myself back in my room..back in my bed.

I hear my door open, along with a voice.

"Mhmm...Y-Yuuto..?"

Alas, it's Mayu.. Thank God, she's okay.. "M-Mayu!"

I run up to her and I hug her tightly, which catches her off guard.

"H-Hey!" She protests. She sighs and looks at me with a worried expression. "What happened? I heard you scream.."

Despite the fear in my eyes, I just let out a cute laugh. "Ehehe..I had a bad dream.."

She chuckles a little. "A bad dream? Really? You're too old for that, Yuut-.."

She took one look at my eyes, and she immediately retracts her statement.

I wipe my eyes, I found tears. I'm crying.

"Yuuto, is something wrong?.."

"..Nope! Just had a scary dream.." I say, trying to give a cheerful smile.

Mayu smiles a little. "Wanna sleep with me again tonight?"

...I slowly nod.

As we walk to her room, I think about what I have just gone through..

Why did I have a nightmare like that..? Who was that other figure next to Mayu.

..I desperate want to thing that dream is a one time thing..But I know it won't be.

Something's coming...and I'm not ready for it.

[OP: Harumodoki (Oregairu Zoku/Oregairu 2)]

"Come on Yuuto-Kun, hurry!"

I sling my backpack over my shoulder and ran down stairs. I met eyes with Mayu who was at the door. Tapping her foot and holding her bag with an impatient look on her face.

"You're way too slow, Yuuto.."

"Ehehe...Sorryyy."

She gets rid of her impatient look and smiles. "Anyways, lets go!"

After walking out of the door, we go down the street. During all that time, I was staring at Mayu.

I feel so...protective now. After seeing what I did in the dream, I just want to keep her by my side at all times.

In this world, she's almost all I have...I don't want to lose her..

But, who was that figure standing next to her..? Why would they do this? Pretty much all I know is that they have blue eyes..Could it be..? No. It can't be.

Mayu turns towards me and realizes I was staring at her the whole time.

Instead of scolding me like the other day, she just tilts her head, with that same worried expression from the night before.

"Yuuto, are you okay? Looks like you didn't sleep that well..."

It's true. While being with Mayu was comforting, I still didn't get that much sleep. Probably about 3 to 5 hours tops.

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine, Mayu!" I say showing a cute and cheerful smile. "Don't worry about me, I'm okay."

She looks down with a gloomy expression and nods.

"Ah, Yuuto-Kun, Kimura-San!"

Mayu and I look ahead to see Katsura and Makoto, waving at us.

I run towards them, waving as well. "Katsura-San, Makoto-Kun!" ...

[Point of View: Mayu Kimura]

..Hiya, Mayu here. ..Is it me, or has Yuuto been acting weird lately?

I mean, he's still my childish, cheerful, and lovable friend, but something feels...off.

Ever since last night he had this fear i his eyes, like he's worried something might happen.

Well, if something is up, I hope he'll tell me. I want to do whatever I can to help and support him.

"..Kimura-San, are you alright?" Eh?

I blink and look towards Katsura, who seems a little worried.

"Of course!" I say.

She nods and smiles.

"So, Makoto-Kun.." Yuuto started. "How was your date with Katsura?"

Itou and Katsura look at each other and blushed for a moment, before Itou awnsered Yuuto's question.

"Well..I'll say it went well..what about you, Kotonoha?"

She nods and smiles warmly at him. "Yes. I would say so as well."

I roll my eyes at this. These scenarios can be so cheesy.. But my attention suddenly turns back to Yuuto when he lets a out a big 'Ehhh?!"

"Makoto-Kun, you're calling her Kotonoha now?!" Honestly, I don't know why Yuuto is so dumbfounded about this. It was going to happen eventually.

"Ah, yes!" Katsura chirped. "We're calling each other by our first names now!"

I find it kind of off putting to have Katsura be this cheerful. But I guess this is what happens when you're around a person like Yuuto.

But, I noticed someone out of the corner of my eye. Staring at us. A boy around our age in the same uniform as us. From what I could see, I could see has blue hair..

I felt someone tug my sleeve, and I turned to see Yuuto smiling. "The train is here, let's go!"

Looking to his eyes, I saw that the fear that was previously there is gone, and is replaced with a look of pure sunshine. This makes me smile. Good to see Yuuto back to normal. Well, atleast for now.

Yuuto, Itou, Katsura and I walk towards the train.

I look back to where the boy is and find him not there...Strange.

After splitting up, Yuuto and Katsura start walking to 1-4 and Itou and I start walking to 1-3.

Now, I'll admit. I'm not very fond of Itou. And by not very fond, I mean I hate him. But, I will admit, it does show signs of improvement when it comes to his relationship with Katsura.

Besides, if Yuuto trusts him, I should too...to some degree.

"So," I start. "You and Katsura are getting along a quite well, huh?"

He looks towards me and nods. "Yes. Kotonoha is opening up quite a lot, and I feel like I'm doing a good job at being a boyfriend. But..."

I look up at him. "Hm?"

"..I feel like I have to thank Yuuto a lot for that. He's always talking to me about how to treat Kotonoha, and I feel like he has something to do with Katsura opening up as well...I cannot thank him enough."

I continue walking with my eyes fixed on him. "Hmm...How about I help you as well?"

He cocks his head to the side. "Huh?"

"Think about it. Yuuto already knows alot, think about how much I might know because I'm actually a girl."

I hold my hand out. "How about it, Itou-Kun?"

He hesitates for a moment before he shakes my hand. "Alright, I'll take you up on that offfer."

I nod, and for first time, I smile on him. "Good."

We enter the room and I sit in my seat, while Itou goes to the top row.

I watch him and Saionji bicker like an old couple for God knows why, and I realize that I have a note on my seat.

I pick it up and I start reading it.

"Meet me in the cafeteria after first period. If you want to know why you are here, I highly suggest you come.." - A.R.

...Who is A.R.?

And what are they talking about? Do they possible know why Yuuto and I are here?

Well, guess I'll have to wait until first period is over..

Okay, now that the class is over (An extremely boring one at that), guess I should head to the cafeteria.

I grab my bag, put the note in my pocket and I walk out of the room, and I try to locate the cafeteria.

I find it when I see Yuuto in the cafeteria sittting at a table. I walk in and greet him. He also got a note from this, A.R., and we both expect awnsers.

Soon, someone arrives at our table. It's...

It's the boy from the train station. A.R.

He has blue hair (Like I said before) and he has hazel eyes, and for some reason, he seems pretty familiar...Eh, I'll figure it out later.

"Kaito and Kimura..It's nice to have you here. Now, let's talk School Days, shall we?"

..Now THIS is interesting.
