I tossed and turned in my bed, I couldn't get away from whatever was chasing me. No…no leave me alone…
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" I screamed, shooting up from my bed. I was cold and hot, shaken and still all at once. I couldn't believe what I had just seen in my head. I had expected the door to fly open, Megumi rushing in to see if I was alright. But…it didn't. The door stayed closed and not a sound could be heard from the opposite side of the wall. I walked to the door, and felt it. Nothing, no visions, no memories, no nothing. Then, a hand grew from the door and pulled me towards it.
"HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" I wanted to yell, I wanted to scream and cry, but I couldn't. My body was completely frozen, everything except my eyes. I watched the door pull me in and turn me around, holding my still like a prisoner. I saw as a shadow darted across the room. I pressed my eye lids together. I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming I kept trying to convince myself that I was still sleeping, I couldn't. This felt too real. Knowing that something was in the room; I opened my eyes, and woke up. I gasped and puffed. My face was flecked with beads of sweat. Megumi rolled over in her bed.
"Kana-chan, are you alright?" she asked with a tired voice and a worried face.
"I don't know…" I said, shaking. Megumi sat up.
"Do you feel sick again?" she asked as she threw her blankets back and stepped out of bed. She put her cheek to my forehead, checking to see if my fever had spiked again. "You don't feel warm…bad dream, maybe?" She bumped me over and crawled under the blankets.
"I'm not sure…it could be something else. Knowing my luck" I crawled under the blankets again and closed my eyes. "I had a kind of 'double dream' I guess" I looked at Megumi. She was sound asleep, quietly snoring a she had for the 4 years I had known her. Four years…has it really been that long? No…it's been 5, 'cuz I'll be 18 soon. I closed my eyes and snuggled my head into my pillow, sighing quietly.
I thought about Megumi, she had been gone for more than an hour with Sanzo. I coughed, instantly regretting; my throat still burned from my barf session. Bleck! I rolled over trying to sleep. I couldn't, so I rolled out of the bed and tip-toed to the door. When I opened it I came face-to-face with two glowing gold eyes.
"Goku?" I whispered; my voice was still raspy and scratchy. I stepped out and closed the door behind me.
"Man, you sound terrible" he whispered back.
"Thanks" I said sarcastically as I walked passed him on my way to the kitchen.
"Where are you going?"
"My throat hurts, gonna see if there's any ice"
"I see" he pattered along next to me. We where quiet until we got to the kitchen; then we both randomly began laughing. My sides hurt, I laughed so hard. When we finally recomposed ourselves we walked into the kitchen.
"w-what was that all about" Goku asked, still a little giggly
"I have no idea" I replied slowly
Down in the kitchen, goku and I sat in a staring contest while I sucked on some ice for my throat. He was loosing terrible. 21 to 2.
"A-APTHHT!" Goku sneezed and, closed his eyes.
"HAH! 23 to 2! Geez you have the worst concentration skills" I said laughing.
He pouted puppy dog face and all. I smiled at him.
"There, there Goku-san" I patted him on the head. "I won't hold it against you"
He smiled back.
"Well" I stretched, "I'm off to bed, g'night" I leaned over the counter and kissed him on the cheek. I didn't know then, but that simple good night kiss would change certain feeling held by not only myself, but goku as well.
