And I went to nothingness, and dream of nothingness

But when I think of you, I am filled with hue

This is true, forever I do love you.

The morning-after

Keiko stared at him, as if she's seeing a phantom. She carefully strode toward him, kneeling in front of the trance man. She touches his face, and gingerly stroke his hair.

"Yusuke?" she asked in whisper.

But the dark hair man was unaware of her, his head hanging low resting at his left leg, hair swaying in the breeze.

Keiko stared at him for a while, she stand up went to her room scooping her blanket away from her bed. She took it, placing it around the sleeping young man at the foyer.

She went back at her room, trying carefully to think what happened that afernoon but to no avail she remember nothing. Entire blankness presented iteself when she tries to recall, until later she fell asleep at her bank. Soft breeze blew at her face, caressing it. Her long hair sprawling around her like a satin blanket under the moonlighted room. If she has seen the white cat timidly watching at the corner of the room, she seems to give no heed to it as she softly give up to the tiredness she feels inside.

OOOOOOOOOO

Keiko was aghast at the reflection she saw. Long mahogany hair stripped with silver hang around her shoulders and cerulean eyes stares back at her.

"No! I must be dreaming. Yeah, I'm still asleep...." she murmured to herself, convincing that what she is seeing on the mirror is just a part of her imagination.

Keiko slowly close her eyes, breathing steadily calming herself. After counting 1 to 10 she open her eyes again.

This time the same honey eyes she's use to know stare at her with a speckles of light blue but her hair remains the same.

"Come on Keiko, wake up!" she chided her self. But after sometime, she's convince that nothings gonna change.

"Whatever happens, I really got no freaking idea about this" she told herself quitely. She tied her hair the best way she could to hide the colored one, but of course the silver coloring appears even in tight french braid.

She's dress in a dark blue skirt hanging just below her knees, a black suspender hangs at her shoulder beneath a white long sleeve shirt.

She went out of her room, walk towards the kitchen where she usually do her "thing" - cook breakfast and prepare the morning meal.

She pass by Kazuma, who just awaken, greeting him cheerfully.

"Ohayo Kazuma-kun!"

Then she went straight ahead of him.

OOOOOO

He was still rubbing his sleepiness away from his eyes when Keiko strode toward him, greeting him cheerfully as she usually do.

"Ohayo Keiko-chan!" he replied back as the young girl went pass him.

He was sitting, still clearing his head and making a yawn murmuring to himself " There goes Keiko, looking a little bit pale, hair lenghten enormously over night, eyes sparkling differently... Keiko died last night... Keiko?"

"Wait! Keiko is dead!"

Kazuma straighten up, looking at the disappering figure of the young woman then clearing his head again, "But Keiko did die last night!" he debated himself.

He struggle on his feet almost tripping over himself as he went to the room where the girl disappear.

Kazuma tiptoe at the slight close door of the temple huge kitchen. He peak at it, only looking at the same cheerful girl who does the morning routine. The girl is still humming on her soft voice while doing her chore.

"Ne Kazuma-kun, what are you doing there?"

He was startled upon the inquiry and been more stupefied when two huge brown orb stared at him, a sweet smile cross at the girls mouth.

"Ah... anou..."

"Since your awake why dont you help me here. I'm really wondering when did Yusuke arrive. Is it last night? It seems I'm in deep sleep, I never even felt when they came. Anyway, I'll just inquire about it later. Care to help me?"

Kazuma just stared at her as though he's seeing a ghost, he's speechless at the moment. Here standing in front of him is the girl who'se suppose to be was.

"Ne? earth to Kazuma?!"

Keiko made her way toward him, splaying her hand infront of the quiet man.

"Kazuma-kun? Are you okay?"

"A..Anou..."

"Kazuma-chan what are you doing here so early in the morning?" A soft voice speaks.

The carrot top head look behind him, standing is the petite princess of yuki. A wondering expression dress at her pretty face.

"Yukina-chan... anou..." He started, not knowing what to say next. Then he look back at the brown haired girl in front of him "Keiko-chan..uhm..."

"Ohayo Yukina-chan! Kazuma's been acting pretty weird. Is something happened here that I'm not aware?" Keiko ask worriedly, looking at the green haired last to the tall young man in front of her.

"Keiko?... K-Keiko!" Yukina uttered softly, a look of disbelief in her face. Slowly, tears formed down at her eyes trcikling down her face. The moment it reaches the ground, white soft pearls formed.

"Yukina-chan!" Keiko exclaimed, "Nani? Whats wrong? Why are you crying?"

Keiko's inquiry stopped when Yukina almost knock her down with her embrace.

"What's happening here?" Keiko asked once again in between the small girls sob in her chest, to the astounded tall man in front of her.
