Dream Weaver

Chapter 4

Suteki/Garnet:

Even after Natiohane left, I felt cold. To think of the fact that I wasn't real

scared me. Why didn't Musouka tell me anything? Did she even know? I barely noticed

that I was outside of Natiohane's castle in the cold chilly air.

"Suteki, how did you get here?"

I lifted my head in the direction of the voice and noticed that it belonged to

Iyori. Suteki…how I despised that name now. I was Garnet til Alexandros, a woman

with no memories. I bit my lip to keep myself from screaming that fact. Iyori didn't

need to know that I had found out a little about my past.

"I got lost," I said softly, trying to keep my expression unreadable.

Iyori frowned, but kept quiet.

"Let us go back to Jougen," I muttered as I walked past him.

Natiohane:

I smirked at my poor sister from outside the portal leading to Yoarashi. I didn't

get much satisfaction from telling Garnet/Suteki that she was a dream. Maybe it was

because of the fact that I had a lot of evil things to do before she discovered her

powers again. Like frame Musouka for instance.

"Come here, Musouka and fall prey to the darkness that encases you," I said

calmly, motioning for her to come through the barrier.

She walked through it slowly, giving me a glare that promised death.

"Why are you doing this?"

I smirked at her question and touched her face.

"I changed my mind, Musouka. I'd just rather watch you suffer. Oh, by the

way, how do I look?"

Musouka's eyes widened for a second, as she looked me over.

"You won't get away with this! Suteki will know its you!"

I extended my hand out and ripped the magic out from the earth. Of course I

didn't have to worry about the earth itself, the energy would return in time.

"She's just a dream, sister. Stop worrying about her, she'll be the death of

you," I snapped.

I swung my hand around and threw the energy at Musouka. The energy

violently impacted with her body, sending her back to Yoarashi with a silent scream.

With her taken care of, I could take out Dori before that literature ended up in

Suteki's hands. That girl must not know the power of the eidolons yet. Not while I still

had a reason to live. I heard the sound of footstep shortly after I sent Musouka

away. No doubt Suteki was on her way back to Jougen with Iyori now. It would be

best for me to behave normally right now. 'Suteki will know it's you!' Could that child

tell us apart from each other? Now is the time to test that theory.

"Musouka."

I turned around and met the eyes of my brother and Suteki.

Suteki/Garnet:

I couldn't put my finger on it, but I could tell that something was wrong. The

sudden appearance of Musouka just confirmed it.

"Why were you two doing in Yoarashi?" Musouka asked, narrowing her eyes in

concern.

Her eyes…they seemed to hold some sort of darkness behind them. Not like

that was unusual for her or anything.

"I was out taking a walk and I got lost," I lied.

At that moment, I noticed the sparkle of blue in those orange eyes. I blinked,

wondering if I was the only one who saw it or not.

"Well, let us settle down at home," Iyori suggested.

Natiohane: (Around Midnight)

Excitement kept me awake…or at least from pretending to be asleep. My time

of mischief was here and I would be damned if I missed this chance. I was a bit

concerned about Suteki, due to the fact that she kept staring at me suspiciously.

Maybe she knew…and she didn't want to tell anyone. But why? What was she

shielding? For once, I didn't understand her motives. And that was bad. I slipped out

of the back window of Musouka's house and fell freely to the forest floor. I hit it

roughly and stood up unscathed. A forty-foot fall would not kill me now.

I was far too powerful and my nightmarish roots were too strong in Yoarashi to

be killed 'normally'. I stole away from Jougen without a sound and arrived at the

boundary between worlds again. The outside world seemed different from earlier: the

sky was pitch black with clouds and rain fell down in thick sheets. Perfect weather for

a killing, I thought with a grin. I continued through the beach, noting the appearance

of a small brown boat being tugged to shore. Ah, there was Dori now. I reached into

the folds of my cloak and pulled out a small dagger with a blade made out of dried

blood and ebony. This was my soul releasing blade/meat carver, especially designed

for taking down people from Jougen.

"Musouka, I'm glad to see your doing well."

I smiled softly at Dori, noting how unaware she seemed.

"Sorry sister, but I can't let you go back to Jougen," I hissed, jabbing my

dagger into her chest quickly.

I expected a wordless scream…but instead, I got a loud one. A really loud one.

I had to shut her up quickly somehow until the blade's magic took effect. I grabbed

her by the neck and ducked into the bushes, trying to fool whoever heard Dori's cry.

It wasn't too much longer until the blade took it's full effect on her body and her cries

fell silent. I smirked when it was finished and pulled the blade out. I felt the positive

energy bouncing with it and put it away. That soul energy would serve a purpose

much later. I was tempted to see if I could find that literature, but the sound of

footsteps changed my mind.

I had to change clothes and remain oblivious. I crept out of the bushes

towards the filmy barrier that separated Jougen from with all the speed a person

walking over sand could muster.

"Halt!"

I froze like an oglop in airship lights and straightened up. (A/N: Wait..what is

the correct spelling of oglop?) If I were to get caught, then they would kill me. Then

again, they wouldn't kill me exactly. I would just put Musouka in my place. Suddenly,

my day just got a lot better.

"Musouka, what are you doing out here? What was that cry all about?"

I knew that it was Iyori who was asking that question so I decided to play an

emotional game.

"Oh, Iyori! It was horrible! I found Dori's dead body in the bushes just a few

minutes ago!" I answered, turning around to get a good look at his reaction.

Iyori snapped his fingers and waved some men off before speaking to me.

"You've got blood on your shirt, Musouka," He said gravely.

"I accidentally fell on her while searching for some fruit," I said, keeping the

emotion in my voice. Iyori narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"I can smell your lies, Musouka."

That was not something I was counting on. I forgot my brother was some kind

of psychic lie detector. I shrugged. So what if he could tell I was spreading a little bit

of my lies, he still wouldn't be able to tell between Musouka and me.

"Sorry, sister, but I will have to put you under house arrest for the murder of

Dori," Iyori hissed as he grabbed my arms roughly.

"But I didn't do it! I swear!" I shrieked.

I laughed at my acting ability inwardly as he dragged me off to Jougen. No one

can act like you, Natiohane. No one…

Author's Note: Sorry for the late arrival. I know most of my attention was on Sosei,

Reincarnation's Sequel, especially since ideas are running for that one. Also, Dream

Weaver is coming to an end soon. And sorry if this chapter sounds confusing…I do

try..and it's kinda hard when you have distractions all around you.
