In the previous chapter, Ryuuki and Seiran sang the final lines
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
Please don't take my sunshine away"
After finishing humming, I turn back and ask " why are you here, and how did is this even possible? because you have caused a lot of harm to Shuurei's mind, and I really hate you three right now for asking us to lie. Also, big brother should we get going and leaves this people who should be sorry for what they did to Shuurei." Big brother agreed and all three of us left and did not look back. We went to the park and lay Shuurei down on the picnic basket and lay on each side and hug her and slowly fell asleep.
Now back to the story
Shuurei's Pov
As I slumber, I felt like someone was watching me. So, I turn my head to see a shadow or a ghost flowing to me. So I tilt my head to the side and ask, "Hello Miss or Mrs, if I may ask who are you and why are you in my dream"? She just looked at me for a few moments and sighed as she replied with "Hello Miss. Kou, my name is Suzuran Shi. I am Seiran and Ryuuki's mother. To explain the reason why I am here. It is because I sense my youngest son thinking about me and wonder if I would have liked you as a member of our family."
I began to blush a rosy pink and think how my partners would feel about them too. They would be very upset with big brothers and sisters for leaving me alone for two years. As well as asking them self why does everyone treat me like dirt after they have passed away. Along with how the world could treat someone who is the most kind and caring as if they were dirt or garbage that they could toss away like nothing. Then I heard a light giggling and looked up to see my parents flowing there too. Now I am blushing a dark shadow of pink and covering my face with my hands.
Then I felt there was someone trying to touch my hand, but I could only feel a cold chills within every touch they did. So I slowly lowered my hand to see my father flowing in front of me and he was smiling at me as well as my mother. After a few minutes had passed from calming down. So, I began to talk but father took out the talk and began with "How are you, my sweet sugar cube?" I began to blush a rosy pink and shout "PLEASE DO NOT CALL ME THAT FATHER" then relax then say "I am fine, father. But are you upset with me for letting you down, father?"
He looked at me then to my mother to ask silently if she or he should answer my question. She pointed to him to say you should answer with a light smile on her face. So, he turned back to face me with a smile on his face and answered with "no, my sweet sugar cube. You did not let us down. But we are very upset with your siblings. Because they left their little sister alone in the house for two year. Then fail their deaths and then come back in spirit form to make you faint then turn up out of the blue to cause you to faint again. Oh, we are going to hit them when they come to the dream / spirit world."
I just sighed in relief and began to feel like I was about to wake up. The last moments with my parents, Seiran and Ryuuki's mother, they began to sing a song that I was not familiar with. "Yume to hazakura by wotamin"
Kono kawa no nagareru ga gotoku
Odayaka ni neiro ga kikoeru
Fuku kaze ga hoho o nadete yuku
Natsukashii omoide ga nijimu

As I awakened to see the sky was turning dark, I turned to face Seiran and Ryuuki to see that both of them were sleeping. So, I tried to point them, but they did not awaken, and also tried shaking them. But they still have not awakened, now I am getting really scared. So, I began to call the emergency for some aid but then I heard a sound behind me. Then I turn my head to see Seiran and Ryuuki starting to awaken. I sighed in relief and relaxed my hold on my phone and began to smile.
But then Seiran and Ryuuki shoot up and look around like they were looking for someone. That is until they saw me and relaxed like the burden that took over their hearts and soul was gone. I just smiled and reached my arm out for the sigh of pick me up, please. Seiran just shook his head as Ryuuki just laughed and stood up and went to me and picked me up, so we can go home now. Then Seiran heard a sound behind the bushes, so Seiran looked at Ryuuki to say protect her and I will go see what is going on now. Ryuuki nodded his head to say I will.
Seiran slowly walked over to the bushes that made the sound to find two puppies that did not look like they should not be away from their mother just yet. They looked very scared and cold; it broke my heart to see them so dearly scared. So I looked at Ryuuki and asked "can we move over to you brother, please? As well please place me down on the ground near the puppies ." Ryuuki just smiled and nodded his head. I slowly closed my eyes and then began to sing a song that will bring animals to relax and come near to me, so I sing "hush my love now don't you cry" by creed.
Hush my love now don't you cry
Everything will be all right
Close your eyes and drift in dream
Rest in peaceful sleep
If there's one thing I hope I showed you [x2]
Hope I showed you
Just give love to all [x3]
Oh my love... in my arms tight
Every day you give me life
As I drift off to your world
Rest in peaceful sleep
I know there's one thing that you showed me [x2]
That you showed me
Just give love to all [x3]
Let's give love to all [x2]
Just give love to all
Let's give love to all
Just give love to all
Let's give love to all
On the last six lines, I heard small movement from the bushes that held the puppies and tiny paws touching my hands. So, I slowly opened my eyes to find the puppies were pawing and I slowly raised my hand and gently touched their head. They made a happy yip and wagged their tail and started to lick my face. I began to laugh, because their tongue was tickling my skin. Then I heard mullally laughter coming from behind, so I turned my head to see Seiran and Ryuuki was trying to hold back their laughter but could not. So, I turned back to the puppies and smiled, then I thought up a plan that will bring out their laughter, so I told the puppies "Attack them, my little friend and do not let them go."
They yuppies attack Seiran and Ryuuki with their little body but they could not push them down. But Seiran and Ryuuki could not hold still and back, so they fell to the ground with puppies hopping on their chest and licking the one, who they jumped on. Seiran and Ryuuki were still laughing until slowly the puppies stopped licking them. So, they jumped down and went back to me and lay down next to me. Seiran and Ryuuki slowly got up and walked over to me and sat down beside me and asked, "who do you want to hold you until the other gets your wheelchair, so we can go home with those two puppies."
I thought about it and answered "I think Ryuuki should go and get my wheelchair and Seiran will stay. Because Seiran went to see what was making the sound and Ryuuki stayed behind. So, this is my reasoning as to who will stay or leave to get the wheelchair." Seiran just smiled at my reasoning and Ryuuki was a bit upset but just nodded and left to get my wheelchair. All three of us left and went home with these littles' puppies. I am now thinking up names for them.
But I can only think of two names, either boy or girl. Those are shiribara or Hiroyuki for boys as for girls, they will be called Aiko or Chiasa. Now I wonder, they would have answered if I had called those names. If not, what should I do? But then I heard a piano being to play near us. So, all three of us and the puppies, who were asleep, went and saw who was playing the music. To find four musicians playing "Piano Man" by Billy Joel on a keyboard, Harmonica, holding a mic or playing the drums, as well all of them sing some parts too.
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1] "musician 1 began to sing and was holding the keyboard"
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sittin' next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
He says, "Son, can you play me a memory?
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad, and it's sweet, and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"
[Refrain]
"Musician 2 started to sing and play with the drums"
La, la-la, di-dee-da
La-la, di-dee-da, da-dum
[Chorus] "musician 1 and 2"
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright
[Verse 2] "musician 3 started to sing"
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke, or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
As the smile ran away from his face
"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"
[Refrain]
"Musician 2 started again"
Oh, la, la-la, di-dee-da
La-la, di-dee-da, da-dum
[Verse 3] "musician 4 started to sing and play the harmonica"
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the Navy
And probably will be for life
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone
[Piano Solo]
[Chorus] "musician 1 and 2"
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright
[Verse 4] "musician 1 and 3"
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"
[Refrain] "Musician 2 started again"
Oh, la, la-la, di-dee-da
La-la, di-dee-da, da-dum
[Chorus] "musician 4"
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright
After they finished the song, they began to ask for any request. Nearly everyone was shouting many songs that made my head hurt. So Seiran and Ryuuki saw this, so they moved me away from the loud noise and found a peaceful area. That is until a hand was stretched out and held out two pain killers. All three of us looked up to find the first musician was the one who was holding out the pills. So I began to say 'thank you' but he just smiled and left, so he could go back to his group.
All of us looked at each other, then the two pain killers and back and front. I was not sure if I should or should not take it. That is until I saw that the pills were painkillers that should be given to the ones who were similar to me. This made me wonder what bloodlines he had and how he knows that I was like him, not like a three blood. Then I took a closer look at his face then it hit me with a memory that I long forgotten.
"Past memories"
I heard the song that was in my dream, and it was replying with a familiar voice.
Kono kawa no nagareru ga gotoku
Odayaka ni neiro ga kikoeru
Fuku kaze ga hoho o nadete yuku
Natsukashii omoide ga nijimu
Haruka naru sora wa
Mune o saku you ni
Wasure kaketa kioku o samasu
Afureru wa namida.
Shiroi sakura no hana no kisetsu wa
Tooku yume no naka ni dake

As well, seeing small glimpses of silver, golden and black hairs around me. But I could not really clearly see their faces. However, I still hear the voices that are far away from my memories. Why can't I remember those faces? Then two of the glimpses come near me and I realize the faces. Those were Seiran and Ryuuki, but why are they there and who are the last people from my past?
