DREAM SEQUENCE (since I have very limited ways to show it as such ^_^)
Trio was running like the minions of hell were chasing her. Her breath was coming in short gasping breaths and she couldn't seem to catch her breath. Kai, or what Trio felt in her heart was as great of a threat, was right on her tail and activating D.H. didn't seem to register in her mind as an option. She ran into a park, weaving through the trees, hoping to lose her pursuer, but no such luck was with her. As Trio reached a meadow, a bright, piercing light shot down from the sky and lit up a dark brown-haired young man who appeared from the middle of the light. His ebony black eyes, which were previously closed, opened as the light dimmed down from a blinding white to a shining gold color.
"Who's there?" The boy inquired as the light restricted itself to the boy's immediate vicinity and highlighted his butterfly-like wings that flapped and shone with the golden light. His gaze, however, did not land on Trio. It fell to the presence behind her. "Who are you that chases my friend? Who is it that frightens her so?"
"I carry on my life with two names," a voice, male, replied, "but your friend will know me as Nekura."
'Nekura,' Trio's blood froze.
"And why do you chase my friend?"
"I have my own reasons, but she will not escape me, nor my master, who through his grace I live."
"Hm," The boy lowered his head in thought, "why would your master need to chase her all over the globe? She did nothing to anger him."
"Her very presence in this world are like an open wound in my master's side."
"I see," he nodded, raising his gaze to Trio. Trio stared back, not being able to take her blue eyes off his black ones. Something registered in the back of her mind. She knew this boy, but he had looked a lot different then. He had been younger, naïve, and bolder.
"Kamui? Kamui is that you?"
"A little older, Trio, and a little wiser."
"But, but, you died, you died!" Trio cried out. "How? How?"
Kamui's soft laugh filled the void of fear in Trio's heart. "You don't seem to be too happy about it."
"Happy?" Trio's eyes filled with tears and she smiled. "My best friend, killed in a train 'accident'. He died in his father's arms. They told me first."
"Whoever told you, was misinformed, on purpose."
"What?" Trio frowned.
"Enough!" Nekura snarled, leaping for Trio. "No one else will interfere!" Trio screamed as his blade, now a sword fell towards her neck.

.And Trio woke screaming, waking Aka and Shiro, who slept nearby.
"Trio?" Shiro asked groggily. "Are you okay?"
"What's wrong?" Aka's worried face appeared from behind Shiro.
"Trio?" Trey and Shinna appeared at the doorway.
"I'm...I'm fine," Trio mumbled. "I just a bad dream."
"Wanna talk about it since we're all awake now?" Shinna muttered.
Glancing at Aka, Trio shook her head, "No it's okay. I'm not going to bother you guys anymore than I already have."
"Come on," Aka persisted (Trio guessed at Nekura's insistence).
"No," Trio shook her head.
***** "I wonder why they didn't come back?" Jerome pondered, asking Duo as he moved his checker piece (which had been furnished by their hotel) to a location where he could jump a pawn.
"Jerome, didn't you listen to Daemon?" Duo's nearby piece jumped Jerome's trap.
Jerome frowned and moved another pawn into place then snickered. "Since when do I listen to that kid?"
"Since he said they found them." Duo moved his pawn away from Jerome's recent move.
Jerome's brow sunk a little, "Really? When was that?"
"I don't remember the exact time, but Daemon said he got a lock on her while she was using the C.L."
"C.L.?"
"Abbreviation of 'Communication Line'." Daemon nodded before setting off his newest trap and jumping Duo's, much to his disgust.
"We'll just have to call them in the morning." Jerome mumbled. Duo nodded. ***** "Are you sure you don't want to talk about it?" Shiro whispered.
"You're still awake?" Trio whispered back. Shiro responded by scooting so close to her he could wrap his arms around her, which he did. Trio blushed but did nothing to hinder his advance, since they were going to be married someday.
"I noticed you didn't tell us about your dream because of Aka," Shiro bent low, his warm lips touching Trio's left ear.
"You...you noticed?" Trio stammered.
"I'm pretty observant, ya know."
"Well. Your observation is correct, and not correct. I didn't tell you my dream because, not Aka, but Nekura, could be listening and if he found out what I dreamt about he might tell whoever is telling him about us."
"You think he's awake?"
"Aka may be awake, but Nekura might not be, I can't be sure."
"Why are you leaving?" Shiro hugged Trio close. Trio squirmed until she was facing Shiro.
"And why are you changing the subject so much?"
"A lot of things have been on my mind is all."
Hugging him close, Trio replied, "Yes, I do. It's not a runway's plan now. That dream I had confirms it."
"Can't you tell me anything?" Shiro whispered fiercely.
Leaning close, close enough Shiro blushed and thought she'd kiss him, Trio whispered "A face, from the past and a face of the present."
"That's not helpful," Shiro chided.
"It's all I can say," Trio replied, cuddling against Shiro's chest. "Maybe you can keep me safe for tonight but I'm leaving tomorrow and I can't and WON'T take you."
"But there's got to be something I can do to protect you, something to help!"
"There is," Trio replied, closing her eyes, "stay with me tonight. And return to the Sanc kingdom tomorrow. Don't leave until I return."
"I..I don't want to, Trio, but I will promise you anyway I will return and await your return to my arms."
"Shh...we don't want to wake anyone, good night."
'She'll never come back,' Nekura thought, deep in his dark abyss. 'It's my job to make sure of that.'
