Chapter 3: The Nightmare
Dream begins….
The fog was thick and clouds had been covering the sun all day. The little girl played in the back yard with her red ball. She was to smart for school and didn't have any friends. A scream came from her window. She looked up with her icy blue eyes knowing who it was. The five year old runs up to the back door and opens it. She walks slowly through the small living room, and up the stairs. Her mothers and fathers voices become more clear to her. Stopping at her little brothers bedroom, he was only a year old at the time. "Liam are you okay" she had always loved her little brother. Liam was sound asleep some how he could sleep through almost anything. She heard a crash coming from her parents bedroom.
"I can't take your bull shit anymore, why don't you just leave me and the kids alone." her mother crying as she said the words. "Your crazy and need help, think of Jess and Liam. They shouldn't half to deal with this."
He Slaps her so hard that even Jess can hear it.
"No daddy please don't hurt Mommy please" Jess comes right into her parents room.
"Jess what the hell are you doing here"
"You leave mommy alone she didn't do anything wrong."
"Jess honey please go check on your brother. Me and Daddy can settle this ourselves."
She pretends to go see Liam, but really stands by the door crying. Her Father had always been the abusive type, but this time it was different. Something had changed in her since Liam was born. He began to drink more. There would be times he'd be on the porch asleep all night from having to much to drink. Jess's Father had set into a deep depression. He lost his job and they were about to lose the house. Having another baby made things harder. She could no longer stand the screams of her mother. Liam had begun to cry in crib so Jess tried to comfort him. Looking back into her parents room she sees her mother face is now bleeding. She grabs on the her father trying desperately to pull him off.
"Get off of me Jess." his voice filled with raged.
Jess refused to listen to him. If he only knew that she really was a water demon maybe he'd stop. To him she was just a little girl to do what she told and stay out of his way. Taking Jess by the shirt throws her in the closet.
"You stay in there you hear me. Don't make half to come in there"
She trembles with fear and starts to cry. Jess can hear her brother still crying, but nobody helping him. She can see through the cracks of the closet everything that is happening.
"What are crazy put that gun away" she says to her crazed husband. Thinking if he'll really shoot her.
"I'm only crazy because you drove me to be this way."
Silences falls upon them, and Jess is still in the closet. She confused as to what's going to happen next. A gun shot went off and her mother screams, Jess opens the door. Her father holding his wife in his arms. He couldn't believe he had just killed his wife. "what have I done. Jess I'm sorry, something just came over me. It was like I was being controlled" He says in a disbelieved voice. Blood splattered all over the room, and on her father. He looked at Jess His bloody hands touch her cheeks. Tears coming down her eyes. "Why did you hurt my mommy". He doesn't answer her He was to ashamed of what he had done.
Few minutes had past and the police sires could be heard in the far distances. Someone must have heard the gun go off. He panics, thinking of a solution to his problem. So he puts Jess in Liam's room and closes the door. He goes back into his bedroom and shuts the door. Sitting on the bed where his dead wife lies. Puts the gun in his month and pulls the trigger dropping next to his wife. Jess opens the door and sees both of her parents dead she screams at the horrifying sight. The Police come crashing through the door grabbing Jess by the arm and taking Liam.
Dream ends….
Sayoko wakes up sweating and crying she never wanting that to happen her parents, but what could she have done. The room was dark so Sayoko opens up the certain. The sun rays burst into the room hurting her eyes. She turns away and heads for the bathroom since no one was up. Locking the door behind her she takes off her clothes and turns on the shower. The hot water felt good against her skin. She washes her hair and body, then gets out. Looking at into the mirror at her reflection she feels lost in her own body. This world so far has been way to complicated for her. Sayoko puts on her red tank top and blue jeans. Going down stairs she smells something cooking. She sees kumara sitting at the table eating already, and his mother cooking some eggs and bacon.
"Jess so glad you could join us. Set down and have a bite to eat." his mother say in a kind tone. "so did you sleep good last night."
"Better then some nights. In fact I'm surprised I sleep over 5 hours." Sayoko begins to eat her food.
"oh dear have you had troubles sleeping."
"Only for the pass 10 years." she says in a semi rude way. "sorry I guess I'm not a very good morning person."
"That's fine dear you don't half to explain. By the way Suiichi are you going any where today."
"yes" he simply says and finishes up his breakfast. Kumara takes Sayoko by the hand and leads her out the door.
The two walk for awhile not knowing where their going, or caring. Sayoko looks around, to her Japan was great. There no one knew of the crime that father had done. When she lived in America it was all over the news. "Man kills wife then himself. Leaving two kids behind." Now in Japan with her aunt and uncle she searches for her brother Liam. Sayoko and Liam were separated shortly after their parents deaths. Because Her aunt and uncle could only afford one child, Liam was giving to another couple who couldn't have kids. She was told somewhere in Japan because his adopted parents moved here a few years ago. She had no idea where to even begin looking for him, but maybe with Kuramas help her search would be soon over. "Kurama I must tell you something about my past. It has been very difficult for me."
"You mean about your parents and little brother Liam."
"How did you know." she says in disbelief
"Sayoko I'm have been keeping in touch with the sprit world and know all about your human family."
"So you know about my human parents death" She looks away from him. Twice she has lost her parents, and twice there is nothing she could have done to stop it.
"Yes I and feel very sorry that you have lost them" Kurama has never told Sayoko the truth about her real parents. He still keeps the necklace that he let Kuronue have after he killed her parents. Kurama keeps it hidden from everyone and anyone. If she ever found out kurama was certain that Sayoko would leave him for good.
They enter the park where she had almost killed Kurama. The sun was shining and the weather was warm. The people at the park looked so happy and care free. A Child came up to Sayoko and Kurama when her ball rolled to her feet. "Hi my name is Saskia what's yours." The girl was wearing a pink dress and her hair in pig tails. She was the cutest little girl Sayoko has ever seen. "My name is Sayoko and this is Kurama." Saskia looks at the two and smiles she ask for the ball back and they give it to her. She runs off and finds her mother waving good bye. "Wasn't she sweet." Sayoko says. "Yes, but there is something I must tell about the living and sprit world." Kurama says growing a little unpatient that Sayoko won't listen to him. "Sayoko are you listen to me." She stands there looking at the roses.
"Um…Maybe…Okay no. It's just that we have not seen each other in along time. And I wanted to spend time with you before you tell me some awful news that I'm going to hate."
"Why do no assume it's bad news."
"Something this important couldn't be good."
Wind pick up and Sayoko feels a presences unknown to her. Something fly be her so quickly she doesn't has to chance to see who it is. She stops and hears laugher behind her. She and Kurama trun to find none other then HIEI sitting on a stonewall in the shad looking right at them with his red eyes.
