Chapter 3

-Yuki-Onna's POV-

Finally, the end of the day has arrived. Arigatoo, kami-sama for ending the day. Thank you for saving my life. If I would have been trapped there for another second, I would have died of boredom and would have drowned in overflowing daydreams. I can finally go back to where my dorm is and would finally be able to snooze off and relax.

Ah... my dorm—music to my ears. I couldn't believe I would be actually able to say that word on more time. My dorm was my heaven and my shrine. That is the only place where I can take a breather and where people could give me a break. Nothing can replace my dorm. Not even thousands or even millions of gold mines could content me. All I needed was my own, private room where I can keep secrets hidden to the world.

I excitedly fixed my things and put them in my locker, carefully placing them one by one to avoid any casualties such as broken stuff. Then I reached for my bag and carried it all the way to the outside of the huge main gate. It was a long walk but I couldn't care less. All I just wanted was to go back to my dorm room and throw myself to my bed or maybe go to the terrace and take a breather.

In my room, you could see the usual stuff that would most probably be in any other dorm room—except for a very special terrace. That is why I love this place. It is very special to me and is a part of me. Even my heart agrees with me when my dorm is involved. As they say:

"The home is where the heart is."

I think this is my most favorite quote of all the quotes because it's the most realistic to my eyes. I can actually relate a quote in my life and that's the one. It's impossible for me to forget or abandon this quote in my mind. It's already glued to my soul—and it will remain that way for eternity, even after I pass away and finally say good bye to this world.

Finally, I'm here in my dorm, ready to pounce on the bed and snooze off. But my thoughts turned to terrace which was right before me. My moods tell me that I need some fresh air to relax myself. My moods were never wrong. Their predictions were always right so I've trusted them ever since.

I slowly walked towards the terrace. Until the point where in I could see the clear blue sky, I started gawking at the beautiful sky with a slight smirk. Finally, I could feel the smooth railings of the terrace and breathe in fresh air. I breathed in deeply down to my diaphragm and smelled the invisible scent of the air. I slid my hands on the railings to feel the cold, smooth railings more. I looked up the sky and saw the blue sky once more. I beamed in relief that I was actually finally relaxing after the lectures in our school that seemed to be endless.

Suddenly, I saw a figure in the sky. I rubbed my eyes gently and looked at it again.

"What?!"

To my surprise, it was Takamura-sama. My eyes widened even more with astonishment. WHAT?! Why can I see him? Is this an illusion? Most probably... but... why? Why am I seeing him like this? It's too awkward for me to encounter such a strange experience. In fact, it's practically impossible for a person like me!

I knew it. I really will be visiting a therapist. Then suddenly, the figure slowly dissolved into thin air. I sighed in relief. Finally, it was over, although there was still a little shock in myself. This time, my moods told me to just slack off instead. I've been waiting for this moment. I can finally feel my soft, heavenly, bed. I can finally feel the silky bedding on my bed once more.

I charged to my bed and dived onto it. It felt like heaven. And I wanted this moment to last for eternity. Why? Isn't it obvious? I want don't want to feel the heavy pain that is sitting on my shoulder almost everyday. I just want to get away from it all. I wanted to be freed from my eternal imprisonment that keeps me from true happiness. And that happiness is within him.

Finally, I fell into a deep slumber, blinded from all the things that make our world miserable—that is what I call true peace.

Yumei: A short one. I know it sucks a lot.

Ella: It's getting late already... yawns... can't I go home now?

Yumei: Go ahead! I don't care! Go kill yourself or something as long as you leave!

Ella: Ja ne.

Yumei: Finally... she's gone! I think I got to go too... yawns... I'm a little sleepy too... Ja ne! falls asleep in an instant
