'Left or Right?'
"Natsuki come back!" I looked back to see multiply shadows running around the corner. Hearing the footsteps coming closer, I ran into the right hall. 'Leave me alone!' I kept running trying to escape the people following me.

I kept running until it my feet felt like falling off. The hallway never stopped but neither did I. Unfortunately I tripped over my own feet. "Why are you running, Hime." I turned around to see the people chasing me right behind me. Before I could only see their silhouettes but now a single light shined over them. Their name was Varia. I tried backing away from them but they all grabbed my hands. I tried to shake them off. "Leave me alone. I-I..."

I woke up in cold sweat, taking in a deep breath. 'That dream again?' I've been having the same dream over and over again ever since the Celeste family came. The guilt of having leaving everyone was always with me that even sleeping didn't allow peace to come near me. 'Why am I so weak that I couldn't even let go of the past? That's right. They're in the past. Never to be seen in front of me again.'

I rolled off my bed heading towards the door. 'I need some water.' I nearly placed my hand on the doorknob when I heard yelling. "VOOOOOI THIS CASTLE BELONGS TO US NOW!" "Ushishishi seems like mister shark forgot our mission." "Squalo-chan our mission was to get Nat-chan." 'Their mission was to get...Me?' I slowly backed away from the door. "X-Burner!" 'This voice.'

I fell backwards as an explosion shook the castle. 'Tsunayoshi-kun is here too?' I held my hand up to my mouth, choking back the tears. 'No way.' My eyes widen in fear as my door slowly opened. I relaxed a bit once I realized it was Yoshi but there was something about him that seemed to bother me.

"I-I'm sorry Natsuki." He looked away, as he raised his right hand towards me. His hand started to engulf in his swamp coloured Yume flames. "Yoshi? W-what are you doi-" I cut myself off as his flames started to come my way. Still in a shock I couldn't get away. I crossed my arms over my chest closing my eyes, waiting for the pain.

"A-are you okay?" I slowly open my eyes, one at a time. I looked around to see nothing, nothing but white space. 'Ara but whose voice was that?' "Would you like to sit down?" I spun around to see Yoshi sipping some tea. He was sitting at a small white table.
"Wait! What's going on?!" He slowly sipped his tea. "Would you like to sit down?" I was about to yell at him but his personality was to cry easily. I sighed as I took the seat in front of him. He held up a small cup full of sugar cubes. "One lump or two?" I kept staring at him, angrily. "One...Explanation." He slowly set down the cup. "If you didn't want one then you could have ju-" "Then tell me. What's going on?" I exaggerated each word in the question.

"H-have you looked around here?" I sighed as I looked around. My eyes widen as I realized the white space disappeared and was replaced with the cafe I used to visit when I was younger. "This is cafe Aya." I said silently.

The cafe was like a regular small café with a rainbow colour design. I was always here to escape the troubles I had in life. The place was a poor café and quite old. I was often alone but that's what I loved about it. "Did you know a few months after you left the old lady running it, died? The shop closed down and replaced with a clothing store." "Is that so?" I kept looking around taking in the old memories of the times I've spent here. I was absorbed in the scene I almost forgot what we were talking about.

"Why are we here?" "I've seen you here before. You looked so relaxed. So almost every day I wished to have our first date here." "This isn't a date. What don't you understand I don't love you?!" I realized I was yelling at him for no reason but the fact he kept avoiding my question made me yell at him. "Why? WHY?!" I was surprised when Yoshi stood up slamming his hands against the table.

"I-I tried for years and years but you just left. I find you a year later surrounded by people, laughing. I didn't even want to help Nori-nii but after I saw you I just wanted you back. But still after all this you still don't care about me!" I gasped as I saw the cafe start to chip away, leaving black space behind.

'When a dream takes a bad turn it turns into a nightmare.' "Yoshi I-" "NO! You can't take back what you said! I know the truth now. You only want to talk to me because you're afraid! I don't want to hear you talk again!" His entire body burst into Yume flames and came my way. I was thrown backwards by the force. He didn't stop attacking as if he really didn't want to hear me talk again. "Yoshi listen to me!" He didn't seem to hear me over the sound of his attacks.

After a while he stopped his attacks while I fell to the ground. "How come you aren't fighting back? Too scared?" I shook my head side to side. "Then are you too weak to stop me?" "I only attack when I feel threaten, but right now your power is weak." "Weak? Right now I could push you down with a little finger. Yet you call me weak?" I stood up, swaying a bit. Panting heavily I coughed up a bit of blood. "Your ring...its power is in your dreams. But right now your dreams are being tainted and started to become a nightmare for not just us but for you. What was your dream?"

He slowly lowered his head and fists. "Wh-why should I tell you?" I slowly walked towards him, while he took one step back in fear. To stop him from walking any farther I grabbed his hands. Looking straight into his eyes I asked him again. "What was your dream?" He avoided his gaze from me. "I don't know. What are dreams exactly? Are they goals? Are they things your imagination makes up while you sleep? I don't know the answer and yet I have this ring."

He seemed to chuckled a bit. "And here I thought I've grown out of old Yoshi, but here I am same old Yoshi." "And what was the problem with old Yoshi?" "He was a clueless, weak little boy that couldn't do anything." "Well that's the thing. Little boys, girls, big boys, girls, anything. We're all clueless. How are we supposed to know everything? We're all weak. There's always someone stronger than us. That doesn't make a difference for you either."

He slowly looked up to me. "Natsuki, why don't you love me?" "Answer me Yoshi, if I didn't save your life all those years ago would you still love me?" "...Of course I would." "Why'd you hesitate?" He opened his mouth to say something but stopped. "Exactly. I've seen you at school. We're polar opposites. You're clumsy, barely passing and you actually have friends. I'm not that clumsy, with perfect grades and I was always alone. Face it you were only in love with what I did, not with me."

He looked sad but happy at the same time. "I...I don't know what to say. Just I'm sorry. I've been such a bother and I-" "If you are truly sorry then let me out. Why am I here? Was that really them?" I turned around to see Cafe Aya starting to disappeer. "Nori-n...Nori wanted you to be stuck here while he..."
