Later that afternoon Sakura was helping Mia and Alanna with the laundry. It was one of the only chances the three girls actually got to visit with each other, without the guys interruptions. They stayed as far away from the laundry room as possible. Sakura was listening to Alanna tell them about something Sage did when she looked up and saw Kanna standing behind Mia. Sakura gasped as the two others girls continued to laugh, unaware that there was someone else in the room. Sakura looked at Kanna as the girl waved happily at her.
"Kanna?" Sakura asked aloud.
"Sakura?" Mia asked snapping Sakura's attention back to her.
"You okay?"
Sakura turned her gaze back to where she had just seen the girl, but there was no sign of her.
"I thought I saw something." Sakura mumbled as she turned back to folding clothes. The two others shrugged as Alanna continued with her story.
But Sakura had stopped paying attention. 'I could have sworn that Kanna was standing right there, waving at me. But that can't be possible. I think that these dreams are having a major effect on me. Maybe I should talk to Dais. He's the illusion master. Maybe he knows what's going on.'
Having made up her mind to talk to Dais, Sakura turned her attention back to Mia and Alanna's conversation.
After Sakura finished helping Mia and Alanna with the laundry, she went in search of Dais. She found him in his room, reading.
"Dais" she asked as she knocked on the door to his, Anubis, and Cale's room.
"Yes?" Dais asked as he shut the book he had been reading.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" she asked tentatively.
"Sure." Dais answered as Sakura walked in the room and sat on the side of the bed. Dais got up from the chair he had been sitting in and went to sit next to Sakura.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Well, you know about my dreams about Kanna right?" she began.
Dais nodded in agreement as Sakura continued. "I think I saw Kanna today."
Dais looked at her in surprise. "Saw her? Like in your dream saw her?" Dais asked trying to understand what she was saying.
"No, I think I actually saw her, in person. I was with Mia and Alanna in the laundry room and I looked up and I saw her. But when I turned away for a minute, she disappeared."
Dais crossed his arms over his chest as he thought about it.
"Do you think that I saw a ghost, or that this is all some by product of my mind from those dreams I've been having?" Sakura asked.
"Well, I seriously doubt it's a ghost." Dias replied finally. "But I don't know what it could be though."
"Do you think that someone could be projecting an illusion of Kanna?" Sakura ventured her guess. "I figured you would be the best person to ask, considering that you're the warlord of illusions."
"I seriously doubt that." Dais answered. "First off, for it to be a clear enough image for you to actually think she was in the room the person would have to have some kind of "connection" with you."
"A connection?" Sakura asked bewildered.
"Yes, he or she has to have something that belongs to you, or they have to have given you something that is in close contact with you." Dais explained.
"And the second reason I doubt someone is doing this is because what purpose would there be to do it?" Sakura thought about this as she sighed heavily.
"Then what did I see?" she asked exasperatedly.
"I don't know Sakura," Dais said shaking his head. "I just don't know."
