Chapter 28- Trouble Dreams
"I don't want to be alone…"
"Gil…you won't be alone… You're sleeping, remember. This is a dream…" Oz says feeling his face heat up with embarrassment from the feel of Gilbert's breath on his neck.
"I am alone… I've always been alone; you'll leave me again because of that stupid rabbit… I'm scared… I'm scared I won't ever see you again." Gilbert says in a pained voice before Oz frowned closing his eyes and lying back down on the ground.
'Gil… It's not Alice fault.' He thought with a small sigh. "Why do you think I'll leave you because of Alice?" He says calmly knowing that he would never leave Gilbert for Alice because they were simply comrades and nothing more.
"You have a contract with her… Your contract moved when we fell into your dream world... Because of her that contract will take you to the abyss someday." He states harshly pressing his face into Oz's neck. "I want to kill her! I want to kill her so bad but Break won't let me... He thinks that Alice will lead him to the answers he seeks and he won't let me kill her." He whispers in pained voice. "If Oz would order me to I could though, right? …Please tell me I can." He says gently as if he was pleading but Oz only opened his eyes in shock.
"No Gilbert… that's wrong, killing Alice will be very bad for you and for me, we need her just as much as she needs us. You cannot kill her, not ever. Bad things will happen if you do." Oz states softly, staring up at the man with sad but gentle eyes. 'If he kills Alice Blood might die and I'd be... I don't even want to think of what I'd be.' Oz thought silently as Gilbert leaned foreward trapping Oz in his lying position. "Um…Gilbert could you get off me, it's kind of …uncomfortable." He says turning his head away from Gilbert because of how close their faces were getting. 'Even though I should really enjoy being this close...' He thought letting a light pink tinge color his cheeks as he remembered how Gilbert had held him after he had a nightmare of the man dying.
"I'm sorry…" He whispers gently leaning closer and lightly pressing his lips against Oz's bandaged neck. "But I don't think I can move…" He says pressing his forehead on the spot he had kissed causing the boy to freeze with his blush darkening. They continued to lay there on the ground with Oz's small body trapped underneath Gilbert's lager one as Oz stared up at the sky, he knew was simply an image placed in the world as an illusion.
'Liar… You should be thinking over the things that are making you confused, but you're acting all weird and I don't like being smothered like this!' Oz thought embarrassedly trying to block the feeling of his friend's entire weight on top of him from his mind. "Gilbert… I'm sure you can move." He says after a few moment of being trapped and Gilbert place his hands on either side of Oz's head but made no attempt of moving. This made Oz a bit nervous as he tried to shift under the man. "Um… Gil? What's wrong? Please get up… Are you mad because I told you, you couldn't kill Alice?" Oz says deciding that he should push his friend off of him but Gilbert lifted his head and looked at Oz with a serious stare startling the teen slightly. 'I know Gilbert gets that look in his eyes sometimes but it always startles me.' Oz thought suddenly worried that his friend was going to attack him again but he continued anyway knowing that he would accept whatever punishment was dealt to him. "You cannot, Gil… That's an order! You're not allowed…" Oz states seriously locking eyes with Gilbert to make sure he knew that he was serious. Gilbert only continued to stare at Oz with his grimace and hardened eyes before the suddenly softened and he pressed his lips against Oz's. "Wah? Gi-hmm." Oz goes to say but is silenced by Gilbert pressing his lips tighter against Oz's. 'What the heck, Gilbert! Don't try killing me one day and then try kissing me the next.' Oz thought trying to push Gilbert away but Gilbert wouldn't budge. After a few moments Gilbert pulled away as if to let him breathe before he pressed his lips against Oz's again moving them slightly. Giving up Oz kissed back knowing even if he wanted to push Gilbert away; he didn't have the will to do so. 'What the heck is going on in his mind right now, I wonder…' Oz thought silently feeling his body shudder at the pressure of Gilbert's body against his. Gilbert whispered a small apology as if he felt Oz shudder before reconnecting their lips slipping his tongue through Oz's parted lips. Oz moaned slightly into the kiss as he felt Gilbert's hands press against his sides and move them up slowly. His mind connected as to what Gilbert was doing and blushed before letting out a whining sound pushing at Gilbert, who pulled his lips away from Oz's and pressed his forehead against the others curiously. "Too fast… Gil's going too fast." Oz says feeling his face burn in embarrassment. 'Especially after you tried to kill me three days ago... I think I deserve a little time to get over it.' Oz thought with a small frown on his face as Gilbert tilted his head with a slight depressed look sliding his hands down to the bottom of Oz's shirt.
"I've waited for over one hundred years to finally be old enough." Gilbert says softly with a slight frown as he chastely kissed Oz's lips. "But now you're too young, right? How much longer do I have to wait till you'll love me?" Gilbert questions slipping hands underneath Oz's shirt and Oz tensed.
"I do love you, Gil! Why would I say those words if I did not mean it and I'm not too young! It's just…" Oz says feeling Gilbert's hands slide up farther.
"It's just what?" Gilbert whispers keeping his face close to Oz's distracting him from his train of thought.
"I'm hurt…and confused, Gil … You attacked me three days ago and now you're kissing me and touching me. It's confusing… I don't understand your logic right now. Gil, what happened that made you act like this?" Oz states with a frown on his face as Gilbert stared at him, keeping his cool hands on the warm skin of the teen underneath him.
"I've remembered… that's what has happened. I've remembered how much you loved me and took care of me, protected me, and sacrificed for me. I understand now, I didn't a hundred years ago but now I do… Oz, I love you. Please love me back." He says softly with warm but desperate look in his eyes and Oz stared up at him for a moment not sure what to do. He wanted to push Gilbert away because he was obviously confusing him for someone else but there was also the temptation to take advantage of that confusion to satisfy his own desire to be the one Gilbert loved.
"Gil…" He whispered torn between the two before he smiled. "You decide… I'm tired of my words being ignored." He whispers closing his eyes, waiting for Gilbert to do whatever he wanted.
"Just touching… That's a promise." He whispers to Oz softly brushing his lips against Oz's nose moving up to kiss his forehead. Gilbert then began kissing his temples, his cheeks his lower jaw and then he felt Gilbert's lips back on to his moving slowly and gently causing him to sigh. 'I should have just left things alone… Damn it Zillah, why did I let you convince me to do this… I mean Gilbert is Gilbert but his memories changed him, didn't they? I don't know if this situation is good or bad.' "ow… Giiil." Oz whined as he felt Gilbert's finger's pinch his nipples. "Jerk…" He muttered between their lips as Gilbert slipped his tongue into Oz's mouth swirling it around Oz's coxing him to join in and Oz sighed, doing as he was asked before groaning as something pressed against his nether regions causing him to turn his head away. "Gil… Leg… Move it back, Gil. That's too…hmm." Oz says but stops when Gilbert moved his leg foreward instead of back.
"You like it, right?" Gilbert whispers, pressing his thigh down slightly causing Oz to shiver.
"Shut up…" Oz mutters not looking away as he felt Gilbert kiss the exposed skin that was not bandaged up.
"I'll make it up to you for hurting you so you won't be confused any more master… I promise to make up for your pain with pleasure. Just like a good servant should… I am your 'everything' am I not?" Gilbert whispers softly against Oz's neck before he drug his teeth down Oz's bandaged throat causing the boy to whimper in pain before his lips replaced them.
"What do you mean, Gil?" Oz whispered as he felt his shirt get pushed up by Gilbert's hands. 'Gil being my 'everything'… Did I say that in the letter? I-I can't…' "Aah…" '…remember.' He thought moaning softly as Gilbert's leg rubbed against his crotch. "Gil, quit being a pervert." Oz states feeling his face burn with embarrassment because of the entire situation, as he felt Gilbert's tongue touch his now exposed chest. 'Oh God, this is worse than a real wet dream.' Oz thought closing his eyes tightly before he felt one of Gilbert's hands slide down to his pants line only to be kicked off of Oz.
"My brother does not need CPR right now!" Zillah states in a serious voice holding a bouquet of Blue roses.
"That wasn't CPR and you know it… You just wanted to kick him off." Jet states appearing behind her as they watched Oz stare at them with a slight pissed off look. "Oh, looks like you made your brother mad, Zillah." Jet states amusedly and Zillah scoffed at his response before stepping on Gilbert's back as he tried to stand up.
"It his own fault… getting taken advantage of by this bastard. I won't let you have sex with Oz until you fucking make up for sticking it to my brother at Glen Baskerville's orders..." Zillah states harshly and Oz felt a slight stab of regret in his heart at her words.
'Gilbert was talking about Gwen…' He thought with a bit of a disheartened tone as he heard Gilbert shout at her.
"I don't know what you are talking about! Oz is the only one I want! I want to protect him, love him, and stay by his side till the end. I never would listen to a Baskerville! Especially if it was to do something so vulgar..."
"Vulgar? What hell do you thing you were doing with Oz then? And I never said that it was your dick you stuck, you disgusting bastard!" Zillah states digging her heal into his back as Oz stood.
"Zillah, stop bullying Gil… He's in a fragile state of mind." Oz states feeling a bit embarrassed at his physical state.
"Looks like he's not the only one…" Jet comments before Oz glared at him.
"Drop dead…" He states before looking at Zillah who was still beating on Gilbert and yelling at him. 'Thank God, someone came and stopped us.' Oz thought sighing as he scratched the back of his head. "Zillah seriously quit beating on him…" He states as the girl kicked him one last time before walking over to Oz.
"Alyss-chan wants to see you. She says she has the answer about what happened to Gilbert." She states calmly and Oz sighed before he noticed Gilbert looking at him with hurt in his eyes.
"I should go… but…" He whispers as he walked over to Gilbert and knelt down. "I won't be long okay… I'm not going to leave you alone. I promise." Oz whispers cupping Gilbert's cheeks with a small serious look and Gilbert tilted his head slightly before smiling.
"Yes, master… I'll wait a little longer." Gilbert states smiling childishly but Oz shivered at how he interpreted Gilbert's words.
"Right… Um Gilbert, let's hope that you don't start spouting lines like that in front of Break. There are things that that man does not need to know." Oz states softly as he pulled away from Gilbert and walked over toward the other two. Zillah gave him a suspicious look and he pouted at him. "Don't look at me like that… You act all loving toward Samael, why can't I to Gilbert?" He questions and she rolls her eyes.
"For one thing we don't hump each other like dogs in heat… and second of all you're like his master… and Samael is not mine." Zillah states as the two walk out through a door. Jet stayed behind looking at Gilbert with a slight worried look.
"Don't try to go after the answers here in this world it just might end you..." He states softly before turning away leaving Gilbert sitting there with complete confused look.
'What does he mean by that?' Gilbert thought with a slight frown on his lips as he smiled slightly. 'It doesn't matter. My master finally openly told me he loved me and let me kiss him. I'm so happy.' He thought smiling childishly at the thoughts.
Is that so? A voice states softly causing Gilbert to flinch. Do you really believe that this person really is your master? A voice whispered and a memory flashed before his eyes causing him to shake the memory out of his head.
'Not again…' He thought gritting his teeth as he stood with an angered look on his face. "Of course he is! I'll prove it to you!" Gilbert shouts storming over to the door that Oz had gone through before kicking it open, knowing it was probably locked. He then stared at the place in awe because he wasn't expecting to see a castle like hall way. He grits his teeth knowing where he was as he heard the door shut behind him. 'If Oz is here somewhere, I'll find him and prove to that stupid voice that he's my master!' He thought with a small growl as he stormed down the hall.

"Alyss-chan… You wanted to see me?" Oz asks as he stood beside a brown haired girl in a room that reflected a giant pond and garden. Alyss, who was placing blue and black roses in to the water, she simply hummed acknowledging that she heard him. "Didn't you want to see me?" He asks softly stepping foreward to look at the water to see it did not reflect him in the water at all but Alyss was reflected as a white version of her current state.
"You know I always want to see you… but I have something I want to tell you about your little friend. Gilbert, is his name correct?" She says softly as she watched the flowers float out into the lake.
"Yes… What about him do you want to tell me?" Oz questions with a slight frown and she let out a soft giggle.
"Well… It is a bit of a troublesome thing not only for him but for you too… When the powers I gave you went out of control and destroyed the Mock Turtle you unleashed the key that was supposed to be sealed away with Blood's heart. It had taken the form of a sword but when the chain was destroyed in entered you, which means you have the key to one of the doors of the four dukedoms, well five and a fragment of Blood's heart now." She states grabbing his hand and looking at the markings. "To make it even more interesting it's the Baskerville's door. What shall we do? What shall we do…?" She says playfully, tracing the burn mark with her fingers.
"I thought this meeting was about Gilbert…" Oz states with a small scowl as he flinched because Alyss bit his hand. "Ow… Alyss-chan, what was that for." He says as he noticed the mark was disappearing.
"I sealed the key up… so clockwork won't be able to hurt you. The medallion might bring back memories that were sealed away but they can be manipulated using the other medallion and keys… Clockwork manipulated Gilbert's memories back when he attacked you because of the medallion around his neck. Since you could not remove it it was not your fault it happened but here in the unborn world those memories take a life of their own and use the medallion to create a reflection in the unborn world… their world." Alyss states and Oz frowned.
"I already know about this world… but you are telling me that Clockwork is messing with Gilbert?" Oz states with a frown and Alyss nods with a bright smile of a young child.
"That is correct… But right now our world is in Gilbert's memories, Oz-chan so you are perfectly safe." She says happily placing a blue rose behind Oz's ear. "But if you're not careful you might see something you really don't want to…" She whispers into his ear before pulling away with a small giggle. "But that's alright, if Oz-chan sees something he doesn't want to he can just throw it away. It's more important right now that you find the one named Gilbert before he finds Blood's coffin." She states with a smile on her face and Oz frowned.
"Blood's coffin is in the room no one's allowed in…" Oz states with a small frown. "He would know better, Seikaku ni told him that no one was allowed in that room because it held horrible memories that guard the coffin." Oz states remembering the times he had been locked in the room because of clockwork. "What if he finds the sealed clock instead of the coffin…? They're both in that room; Blood is the one keeping the clock sealed, right?" Oz says softly and Alyss nods.
"He won't find the clock… It's locked in the deepest darkest part of that room where only Blood is able to go." Seikaku ni states calmly appearing behind Oz with a serious look. "And you obviously do not understand how serious Gilbert finding the coffin is, Oz… Gilbert knew the person that is Blood; if he opens the coffin and finds him there he will believe that you are an impersonator." He says and Oz looked at him confusedly.
"What do you mean?" Oz states with a curious but confused look and Seikaku ni smiled gently at him.
"You look almost exactly like Blood did 100 years ago maybe a bit younger and less masculine… but he was like a big brother to both of the two boys that are now grown and whether Gilbert's memories are awake or asleep he will not like what he sees." Seikaku ni states softly and Oz frowns.
"Then we should find him…" Alyss states with a knowing smile. "Since he disobeyed his master and came after him." She adds with a giggle and Oz frowns at her.
"I'm going to find him, Zillah come with me!" He states before turning and running toward the door way and Zillah looked at Alyss with a worried look before running after Oz. Once the door shut Alyss frowned and looked at the black rose in her hand.
"You look almost exactly like…"She whispered softly, kissing the rose before throwing it into the lake. "You're such a liar…" She states causing Seikaku ni to pout.
"That's mean, Alyss-chan…" Seikaku ni states and the girl simply smiled sadly.
"It's mean that you lied to Oz… It's mean that I did not say anything… To protect my precious friend back then… but to continue smiling with him I can't let Oz-chan know or see what's inside the coffin. So stop Gilbert from looking inside by any means necessary…" She states softly looking at the sky with her bangs casting a shadow over her eyes causing them to look darker than they really were.
"Yes, my lady."

'Damn it where is Oz?' Gilbert thought as he ran through the empty halls. 'Why haven't I ran into anyone yet?' He thought gritting his teeth as he came across another door. He opened it and heard a familiar voice.
"Nii-san!" A voice shouts causing Gilbert to look into the room to see the gardens from the memory where they mysterious grave was.
"Vince, hurry up! Come on, Oz is supposed to take us fishing!" Gilbert heard his own voice shout in excitement as he stepped into the room letting the door shut behind him. Once inside the room he was surrounded by the same gardens he was in before but the flowers were different and there was no calming aura. To gilbert there was no aura at all and that unsettled him.
"Gilbert! Vince!" A voice shouts causing him to flinch because it sounded like Oz's voice. He then turned his eyes toward the direction of the voice and he saw a longer haired blonde running toward him wearing a red cloak and carrying three fishing poles. "Let's go! Let's go! The fish are waiting!" He shouts in excitement as two younger boys, that were most definably him and his brother Vincent, tackled him into an embrace.
"We've been waiting all week for Jack to let us come!" Gilbert says happily as Gilbert heard a small chuckle and tilted his head back to see the mysterious blonde haired man that he had seen at the memory in the church and a girl that looked like Alice approaching the other three.
"Ah, Jack! Alice! Jack, are you going to visit mother today?" The blonde boy questions smiling brightly and the older blonde smiled warmly.
"Yes… I am. I hope you and the boys have fun. When you are done I'll probably be chatting with Glen somewhere so just keep an eye on them okay?" The man says and the teen nods.
"Of course! Alice you keep Jack in line! Don't let him flirt with you!" The teen states with a teasing tone and the girl flushed.
"Wh-Wh-What do you mean by that?" The girl says embarrassedly and the teen laughed lovingly.
"You know…" He says before turning back to the pouting Gilbert and Vincent that were still clinging to him. "Let's go guys! When we come back I made cake!" He states causing the two boys to smile at him.
"Cake!" Vincent shouts pulling the boy's cloak to get him to move faster and Gilbert watched his younger-self reach up for the teen's empty hand and holding it with his smaller ones. Gilbert felt his heart beat start to quicken and confusion filled his thought. He hadn't remembered that person when he remembered, he remembered his master, the same age as he was then, not this older male. He was confused and suddenly he was scared as he turned around to grab the door but he sensed someone appear behind him.
"Gilbert…" A voice says and he tensed and turned around only to see Gwen standing in front of him.
"You…" Gilbert says harshly.
"You know that your memories were diluted by Clockwork right?" Gwen states softly and Gilbert scowled at him.
"How is it that you exist?" Gilbert states with a glare as Gwen tilts his head. "That person… That person that I spoke to in my past, it was not you. Who are you?" Gilbert states and Gwen smiled slightly.
"I am me and there's nothing else to it." He states with a matter of fact tone. "You also forget that I am a fragment of the person called Blood Scythe. So of course I am not the person you spoke to… I am merely a fragment of this person." Gwen says causing Gilbert to flinch.
"That's impossible!" Gilbert shouts glaring at him with an enraged look. 'That's not possible! M-My master was… He's not a part of it. He has nothing to do with this.' Gilbert thought gritting his teeth as Gwen chuckled.
"Not in reality but in this world… Blood is able to dilute memories, his memories, Alice's memories, any memories that are abandoned in this world… That is how Sei and I come to exist. We are created as a dilution of memories… Zillah, Samael, Adriana, Jet… are all victims of this dilution. They were soul lost to the abyss, saved by blood but in order to hide his heart from the people who wanted to use it for evil. Blood diluted their memories to hide his self from reality's grasp. Call it selfish… Call it cruel to his ally's but the fates that these four people saw were more horrible than anyone could imagine. By creating us… These people get redemption and some day will get freedom from the abyss. Your master is just like them… you know." Gwen states with a small smile as Gilbert flinched before frowning.
"My master is nothing like you people." Gilbert states as Gwen shrugs.
"Believe what you will but I'd not go playing around with doors in this world, since your memories are controlling it you just may find something you don't really want to." He states as he passed Gilbert and opened the door Gilbert turned and watched him disappear.
'Something I don't want to see…' He thought as he remembered that Jet had warned him not to go snooping around as well. 'They're hiding something… They are most definably hiding something… Oz probably doesn't even realize it… that Baskerville stated that Blood dilutes memories, I bet that it's doing the exact same thing to my master. I won't let them use him any longer.' Gilbert thought deciding that he would find out what they were hiding from him.
