Chapter 4: Her dream

Solaris: *still crying over Spirited Away*

Foxglove: *still crying as well*

Kurama: Well, since those two seem to be in tears still, I'll do the disclaimer. Solaris and Foxglove don't own YYH or anything else famous that might appear in this story. Especially Spirited Away. All they own is a copy of it.

"Yieeee!" Rose cried as she sat bolt upright. Her face was the very picture of shock and dismay and she held her head in her hands. "Why does this KEEP happening to me?" she cried, shaking her head. All her life, she'd had a strange dream. She was a tall red head of about 15, but she wasn't normal. She had a fox tail and ears, and her hair was longer than normal. A long dress of emerald green was on her lithe body and she seemed to be sneaking around. She went into buildings, coming out again rapidly. Once the fox girl returned to her hideout, she opened a pouch and dumped some beautiful jewels onto a table. This wasn't what frightened her, though. At the near last of the dream, the fox girl suddenly fell over, a small dagger in her back. The dagger was her partner's, and she still had her katana on hip, ready to use to help. Her partner had killed her for the jewels. The dreams, which she had hoped would cease once she moved to Japan, had gotten worse. Even getting into a routine of going and singing kareoke on Fridays hadn't helped. Prior to her move to Japan, her life had been a "whatever, whenever for fun" type of life. Her Fridays had been spent going to movies, the mall, the library, theater, or more. Many nights she didn't come home until midnight, simply because she had lost track of time. Yet, in the week she'd lived in Japan, and the time spent just visiting, her dreams had just increased in intensity. Most nights, the images in her head were like an old photograph: faded and dark. But now, they were clear, bright, as if they were truly happening.

"Oh, man… I wonder if Shuichi would be awake now." she wondered as she looked at the clock. It was almost 2 A.M. She'd just gotten home from singing a few hours ago. He probably would be asleep. She couldn't wake him, it just wouldn't be right. Just then, her phone rang.

"Moshi Moshi?" she said quietly.

"It's Shuichi." came his voice. How odd, just when I thought of calling him, she thought.

"I was just thinking of you!" she said happily. "I had this crazy dream. I'll tell you about it tomorrow. At the park near the kareoke place, all right?" she said, mentally sighing in relief. She'd kept the dream a secret from her own mother and father even.

"How about now? I called because I sort of guessed that you weren't asleep. Plus, I felt you wanted to talk." he said. This knowledge comforted her immensely. "At the park, okay?" he said.

"Yeah, that'd be great!" Rose said, smiling even though he couldn't see it. After a few more moments of back and forth conversation, she hung up and grabbed her jacket. Padding down the stairs, she threw on some shoes and walked to the park. Her parents knew of her midnight wanderings, and they didn't care.

Solaris: Sorry so short, but I needed to reveal her dream.

Foxglove: Please read and review!

Kurama: And no flames please!
