Yume slipped through the yard of her old house. The lights were off in all of the rooms, except her father's. His shadow shown against the window; the silhouette of him and another woman. Yume let out a sigh of disgust at his 'activities'.

"Disgusting," she whispered before creeping closer.

Her feet were bare against the fresh cut grass and Yume slipped closer towards her own window. When she reached it she removed a small pocket knife from her pocket and began to rip the dirt from the ground.

It took her a few minutes until she heard the sound of her knife hitting wood. She dug on in attempt to uncover the small treasure in the ground.

Finally she pulled out a small wooden box with hieroglyphics written across the top. Her dirty fingers moved over the writing and she read under her breath; 'the one who possesses this item will be revealed their past.'

"I am such a damned good writer," Yume applauded herself in a whisper. She began to kick the dirt back into the hole. She heard silence; her father's activities were over. She kicked a patch of dirt and embedded a sharp rock into the skin. She opened her mouth in a silent scream and continued to push the dirt in the hole, despite her cut foot.

She sit silent for a minute noting that a second light had been turned on. The woman and Yume's father had gotten dressed and were talking. The shadow on the ground handed the woman a few pieces of paper; money. The other accepted it and then walked off. Yume's father moved towards the back door and made his way outside to sit on the porch.

Yume let out a soft scream and pressed against the wall in an effort to hide.

"Blend into the wall damn it!" She mouthed the words instead of speaking them.

"Nice night out, isn't it," Yume's father smiled. His eyes weren't focused on Yume, but his words were. She felt his step closer and Yume crept towards the porch; a few steps away. On the way there she stepped on a twig; it cracked under her heel.

"Ah, Yume!" Her father smiled. "I see you've decided to come home." There was a chuckle.

Yume stayed silent. Suddenly out of nowhere a cat appeared and meowed at Yume's father.

"Oh, I see it is only you, Pamiu." The man reached down to pet the cat and it hissed scratching his hand. Yume's father cursed the cat and turned to head inside.

Yume waited until she heard the door shut and then she turned to the cat and gave a half bow.

"Bless you Bastet. You saved me," Yume petted the cat's head once and then ran out of her old yard with the box in hand.
