Chapter 4

Later that night Dream woke up from her slumber and looked around the room she was in. It was different but she was also happy to hear that Mr. Dickinson gave her, her own room. The rest of the boys had to share with someone. She snickered silently and pulled on a pair of dark blue baggy jeans and a black halter top. She slipped on a pair of black sneakers and grabbed her black shoulder bag before walking out the door. It was nearing 3 in the morning and she had barely gotten any sleep. She walked outside into the night and was surprised to see Loki standing in front of her. Dream stood still as did Loki. It looked like he was just going in while she was on her way out.

"Hello." Dream smiled at him a little.

Loki nodded at her before walking toward her. "Get a jacket or something... it's going to rain soon..." he whispered to her before walking into the Hotel and going to his room.

Dream watched him go up to the elevator and leave before following after him and grabbing a jacket from her room. He was right. As soon as she walked outside it had started raining. She calmly looked up at the sky as the rain started becoming a bit more fierce. She smiled silently before walking towards the park that was nearby. The rain made her clothes stick to her even though she had on a jacket and also her hair was matted to her head. She was so peaceful walking around the park and listening to the music the trees and rain had made. After a while she came toward the swings and sat down on one of them. She moved her feet up and down a little as she started swinging softly in the air. It was still raining and the moon was out as well; shining down on her. The whole scene gave Dream the look of an angel dancing in the air. She giggled a little as she went higher on the wsing before jumping off while in mid air. ((I used to do that all the time! It was soo much fun!))

Dream bowed before invisible people while smiling. She giggled some more and got back onto the swing to repeat the process. It was very rare for Dream to be acting liek this. Usually she was always quiet and serious, but to find her laughing and carefree made anyone wonder if she was always hiding herself or that she was mentally derranged. She sighed heavily as she jumped off the swings again. That time her leg went off to the side so she was doing the splits. She smiled as she flipped and landed on her feet on the swing that was still moving. She was very good at acrobatics. She hopped up off the swing and ran around in circle's for a little while longer before she just collapsed because she was tired. She giggled as she just layed their in the grass with her hair spread out like an eagle's wings. She looked stunning there.

A pair of crimson eyes watched her throughout her small work out and happy attitude form behind a tree. They were clouded with amusement and yet they had slight confusion in them. If this was the real Dream why did she always act and look like the world was going to come to an end? He ignored the thoughts that went running through his head however as slight curiousity got the better of him and he walked over to her. She was breathing deeply and she apparently didn't notice that he was there. He looked closer at her neck to try and find anything that might get him to know her better. He saw something and he leaned in a but to see that she had a small tattoo in the shape of a star there. It was all purple. 'What does this mean?' he wondered and suddenly had the urge to touch the pale and soft skin but he pulled himself back and just watched her for a little while before picking her up. She had fallen asleep!

Kai held the small sleeping girl close to him as he walked back to the Hotel. They were both wet and he was sure that Dream might get a cold if she stayed outside in the rain to long. They walked in and he walked to her room. After a little digging in her pockets he found her key and opened the door to her room. He looked around a bit before laying her on the couch and looking through some of her drawers for a fresh pair of dry clothes. He went into the bathroom after throwing the clothes in a nearby chair and brought out two towels. One was for her while the other was for himself. He walkedback over to Dream and lifted her soaking wet shirt and pants off of her after taking off her shoes and socks. He dried most of her body off of all the extra water that was left before getting her dry clothes on. He sighed in relief as he found out that the clothes were her pajamas. The pants were black and covered her small feet as the shirt was a dark blue with short sleeves. On the pants were small stars and moons all over them and on the shirt was a big star and moon in the center. He made her sit up a bit and got behind her with the towel and started drying her hair a bit.

After a while Kai looked at her and noticed that Dream's hair was indeed pretty long and her face and neck were very cold. He sighed heavily and ran a hand over his face. 'You had better thank me for this later.' he glared at her before getting up and walking into the bathroom and reappearing with some rubber bands that he had found and a small brush that had been on the counter. He put them on the bedside table and then walked over to Dream who had rolled over in that time. He sweatdropped a little but picked her up and placed her on her bed and got behind her. He took the brush and started running it smoothly through her hair. Her hair was so smooth and soft thatthere were no knots what so ever. After brushing her hair he picked up small strands of her hair and started doing small patterns with it before he took them firmly and started braiding her hair. He couldn't believe that he remebered how to do it. It had been so long since he had last braided someone's hair.

The last time he was with his mother and she was teaching him how to. He remembered her warm smile and her carefree attitude but when his father was around she would suddenly turn very serious. Kai shook his head to erase those thoughts before he looked down and started doing a couple more braids. When he was through it was nearing midnight and he knew that he was not going to get a lot of sleep that night so before he left he wrote a small note and put it on her bedside table. He got up and left to his own room after locking Dream's door and putting a note on Tyson's door as well. This was the start of a very interesting week.

Okay I know that Kai was a little OOC but wouldn't you do the same thing to make sure that your teammate didn't get sick at a tournament? Kai's really responsible, ne? Anyway REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!
