Chapter 7: Echoes
Yume was hunched over and had her head buried in her arms. She had been crying non-stop since her last encounter with #4. She peeped over to Kuki and felt her face grow hot from anger. Yume drifted over to #3, holding her hands out in a choking position but never laid a finger on her. Deep down, she envied her so much.
When Kuki told her about her dreams she knew that #3's life was perfect. She had loving friends and family, everything her heart desired. She even had a little Aussie by her side (which she was totally oblivious too) Yume floated there emotionless.
What was my life like?
Flashback: Age 6
"Kat, why are you crying?"
The little girl sniffed, "Mommy won't let me come and play with you Travis"
The blonde haired boy frowned then smiled.
"Then I'll make sure to come by your house every single day and talk to you from your window."
The little girl smiled, "I would like that very much!"
Fadeout...
Yume shook her head.
"Wuh-what was that?"
She gazed back at Kuki.
"What is happening to me?"
She hung her head and sighed. Yume noticed her reflection in some scattered pieces of glass. Leaving the sanctuary of the shield surrounding Kuki, she entered the downpour of the rain. Picking up a piece, she gazed at herself.
Flashback: Age 12
"Travis can you push me on the swing?"
"Sure, ready?"
The 13 year-old blonde boy gently pushed the giddy girl back and forth.
"Y'know Travis, you're my best friend ever. I wish we could grow up together."
"Well, then why don't we? We'll travel the world together and go on all sorts of adventures."
The little girl giggled. "You promise?"
As the swing came back down the boy stopped it near him, grabbing onto the ropes. The girl put her feet down for support and looked over her shoulder. The boy leaned in, their faces barely touching.
"I promise," he whispered softly.
Fadeout...
Yume blinked and acting as if she seen a ghost, dropped the piece of glass.
"Who are these two that keep popping in my head?"
And why does this name ring a bell? Travis...Travis? Who are you?
Yume lifted her head toward the falling sky.
Who am I?
Yume went back into Kuki's dream where she floated along, motionless. She has never had these thoughts before, so why was she now? Nothing was making sense. She remembered her first encounter with Wally, why did he look so familiar?
Flashback: Age 14
"No Travis, you can't!" cried the girl.
"I'm sorry Kat, but I have no choice, my parents got a new job up-state so I have to go with them."
"But what about our promise!? I thought...I thought..."
She couldn't hold it in any longer; she burst out into tears and buried her face in his shirt. He wrapped his arms around her and tried to calm her down.
"I truly am sorry Kat," he lowered his voice. "I'll make a new promise to you, I promise I'll keep in touch with you everyday, and in a couple of years I'll come back for you."
Fadeout...
"RAAAAAAAAAA!" Yume screamed, letting out a bit of energy but not destroying anything.
"What is happening to me? What, what, WHAT!?"
Yume sighed and thought to herself.
"What if...I am this girl...called 'Kat'?"
Yume frowned. "But if she was out there then, how am I apart of all this in here?
She began sobbing aloud.
"What is happening...what?"
"Enough!" echoed a mysterious voice.
"It's time for you to finish what you started. You're almost done, don't quit now. Fulfill your purpose Yume!"
"My purpose?"
Yume was cut short when a black light engulfed her. She re-appeared with black eyes glowing and a blue aura surrounding her body.
"It's the end of the line now Kids Next Door."
And with that, she teleported away.
A/N: This was basically Yume's chapter and you get to see a little of what her life was like.
"Wow. Put 5 with 1. Fat with skinny is not right." -Animorpho2000
LMAO! XD To all you 1/5 fans, I've said this before and Ima say it again, I promise to do 1/5 fics in the future but right now I'm experimenting with 2/5.
"Ichigo is Japanese for 1 and 5, right? What is myu? (ano kotoba gozongi dewa nai yo...imi wa?) Ah wateva! I'll stick to English." –iikoaunaii
Yes, please do stick with English. Just because you (think) you can speak Japanese fluently does not give you the right to comment me like that. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe in your li'l Japanese quote you were asking me if I knew what I was talking about when I picked the name 'Myu Ichigo'. Yes...I do. And FYI 'Ichigo' is Japanese for 'Strawberry' And 'Myu Ichigo' ('Mew Ichigo') is the main character of 'Tokyo Mew Mew'. I apologies if I was rude to you but next time say what you have to say...in English. (Technically 'Ichi' is 1 and 'Go' is 5, but why would I put them together? Wouldn't I rather just have it as 'Myu Juugo' (Myu 15) as my s/n? Think about that!) Okay, I'm getting ahead of myself and become someone that do not want to become (a b!tch) And that scares away reviewers, so up next Chapter 8! Ta-ta!
