Title: Please Let It Not Be True
Chapter 7: Dreams
By: BurningWaters
I don't know how I got through it. Nika's funeral was yesterday. It all went by in a blur. Next thing I knew, I was at home again. Dreaming.
"YAMATO!!" someone yelled. A far off distance voice was calling. I know the voice but couldn't place it.
"HELP ME!" there it goes again! I ran to the source but I'm not moving. I'm just running in the same spot. Who are you? I tried to yell. No words came out. I looked around. I was in a store. I knocked down stuff, trying to move. I couldn't.
"YAMATO! HELP ME! PLEASE!" I finally figured it out. That voice! Takeru! I'm coming! I tried to yell. No sounds.
And then…
BOOM!
Nothing…just a bright flash of light. When it cleared, Takueru was standing in front of me.
"Why didn't you help me," He sobbed. I tried answer but still no sounds. He started to disappear. I reached out for him but only grabbed air.
"Its all your fault," his voice echoed, "Its all your fault….all you fault…"
I woke up, sweating. 'Dammit,' I cursed. 'What was that?' I asked myself. I sighed and went to take shower. I was supposed to be at band practice by 10 AM, it was 8. I didn't want to go. But I still have to live my life. That's what Nika would have wanted. As I took my shower, I remembered back to yesterday. What did happened?

Flashback
*********
People was slowly showing up at the cemetery. Everyone was wearing black. Some was crying, others weren't. I tried to hold back those tears. I succeeded. But that didn't stop me from watering. I had my sunglasses on, just in case. Taichi was standing next to me. Sora, Koushiro and Jyou were also there. I saw them but they left to stand somewhere else in the crowd. Takeru and Hikari was showing up later, with Daisuke and the others. Our parents were already here. And other people who know…knew, I should say, knew Nika.
When it started, the priest went up and gave a few words about her. Then her sister, and some other people who would like to say something. Then it was my turn. I was supposed to tell them how special she was to me. I got up shakily; Taichi leading me but stopping on the side of the small stage and let me walked the rest of the way to the microphone.
I started to speak by no sounds came out. I cleared my throat and tried again.
"I..um…wrote down what I was going to say because…um…I didn't think I could remember everything that was great about Nika," I crocked, my voice sounded hoarse. I cleared it again and reached into my pocket to pull out my little speech.
"'Nika, was a great friend to have," I started to read, "'anyone who didn't know her was missing out on something special. Yes. We were boyfriend and girlfriend once. Although, it wasn't meant to be, we ha-h-had…'" I paused and took a deep breath and continued, "' we had decided to stay friends and always be there for each ot-others,'" the tears started to flow and I just couldn't go on anymore. I stood there crying. People saw this, it made some started to cry too, and others cry harder.
I felt a hand go on my shoulder. I turned around, it was Taichi. He took the mic from me and said, "Thank you," into it. I looked at him quizzically, he lead me down and the service continued. I didn't think I every cried this hard. Ever.
Even so, I had to talk to a couple people. I talked to Nika's family. We hugged, we cried, we supported each other. All the time Taichi was by my side. And I was grateful for that.

The rest of the service went by in a blur. Next thing I knew. I was home again. In bed, dreaming…

A Couple Weeks Later
********************
Crime has gone over the roof. It seems that each time the police caught one criminal, five more would pop up. Barely anyone went out at night anymore. Some do still, only when it's absolutely vital. If a person is lucky, then nothing will happen. Usually, they aren't.
Things are hectic. Preparing for Takeru and Hikari's wedding, which is only three days away. It had been delayed when Nika died. The world felt differently after she died. Like there's something missing. Like a hole in Mother Earth's heart, she cried. Her rain was her tear. And even though I thought I'd never be the same, the world soon went back to normal, and after a while, so did I. I still weep for her occasionally. But I learned how to move on, and always remembering her.
Everything was ready for the wedding. The invitations been sent out, the food ordered, the people hired, the reception planned, everything was suppose to be perfect. Everything IS perfect. Now all we have to do is wait. I've talked to Takeru, I've talked to Hikari and Taichi. Everyone felt the same way, with butterflies in their stomach.
Taichi and I have been spending more and more time together. Every passing second with him was heaven. Every little word he says is music to my ears. Obviously though, we can't spend all the time with each other. I got my band practice. He got his soccer practice. Yet somehow we always manage to spend time together.
Hmm…I don't know what is it. But I think there's something wrong. Even though I said everything is perfect, I feel as if something will happen. Sometime soon. Those dreams I've been having, I still have them. It gets more and more intense everyday. Tai sees it in my eyes.
"What's wrong, Yama?" he would ask me when I start staring off into space. Hmph, not only do I stare off into space, but I also see it. I see the death of my brother. Over and over. I don't think I can take it anymore.
"Oh, nothing," I would reply back, putting on my smile. He would then look at me not fully believing me but respecting the fact that I don't want to talk.
"You know, if you ever want to talk…" he had replied. I would then nod in return.
It's hard but I make it, somehow. Many times I wanted to tell Takeru. Many times I tried. Many times I failed. A week ago, though, I manage to get the words out. He just stared at me shocked.
"Don't say that kind of stuff," he shrugged off, "I'm going to marry Hikari and we are going to live happily ever after, Yamato."
He was mad, I could tell. I tried explain it to him, but everything I said seemed wrong. *sigh* Maybe it's nothing after all.
