I'm sorry for not updating in a long time, I was on vacation and then school started. I'll try to get on every day for the next week. Anyway, at the end of this chapter, there are the original author notes from when this chapter was still attached to the last dream chapter. I hope that they amuse you! Moo!

Chapter Seven

Kazahaya had had a hard day. Rikuo had spent most of his time avoiding him and so Kazahaya in turn had had to get his answers answered from his diary, though for some odd reason he always found himself at that last entry, crying at Rikuo's loss. Kazahaya sighed as he pulled himself into his bed for what he hoped was a nice sleep.

Kazahaya found himself in Rikuo's room again and it seemed almost like his last dream was being continued. He watched as Tsukiko, surrounded by the skin that had once been him, kiss Rikuo softly.

"He's mine now," Tsukiko said, "Look," Rikuo sat up and looked his lover in the eye, though instead of Kazahaya reflected in his dark orbs, one eye showed Tsukiko and the other, a movie played out where a boy was hit by a car and lay in the street dieing in a pool of blood.

"No…" Kazahaya whispered as Rikuo's eyes began to swallow him.

"You're mine too, Kazahaya," Tsukiko said in her soft, sweet voice, "You're still mine."

Her voice faded away as Kazahaya found himself on a silent street. Kazahaya looked around, confused, and then noticed Rikuo across the street.

"Rikuo!" Kazahaya shouted, but his boyfriend didn't seem to hear. Kazahaya stood and watched Rikuo and then saw a car come and stop right next to him. Kazahaya watched as a boy who looked just like Tsukiko came out of the car and ran across the street. He then morphed into a fly and Kazahaya watched in shock as the fly was smashed on the windshield of a passing car. As the car tore around the corner, it left the crumpled, bleeding body of the boy on the street. Kazahaya ran out into the street and called out for help, but everyone ignored him, even Rikuo. Kazahaya glared at Rikuo, who was staring off into the distance. Kazahaya ran up to him angrily. "He's dieing! Aren't you going to help him?"

Kazahaya was surprised as he saw that Rikuo was crying tears of blood. "Kyo…" He said, "I killed Kyo…His blood is on my hands." Rikuo raised his hands to Kazahaya to show that they were covered in blood, making Kazahaya back off to return to the dieing boys side.

"Won't someone help?" Kazahaya cried and screamed as he felt a wet hand close on his arm and looked down to see that the boy in the street that was bleeding was Rikuo, his hands covered in blood and eyes crying red.

"Help me, Kazahaya," The Rikuo under him pleaded as it held up its hands for Kazahaya to see, "It won't come off…It won't…"

Kazahaya stood with a start and started backing away from the mangled Rikuo, but it followed him, bloody hands outstretched.

"No!" Kazahaya screamed as he backed into someone. He whipped around and saw that it too was Rikuo.

"Please," Rikuo pleaded as he offered Kazahaya his bloody hands, "clean Kyo's blood from me!"

"I can't…Kazahaya said softly, "I'm so sorry. I-"

Kazahaya yelped as he felt a hand on his shoulder. "Clean me, Kazahaya," Pleaded another Rikuo.

"Clean me…clean me…clean me…" rose up as a chant as more and more bloody Rikuo's gathered around Kazahaya, forcing him against a wall.

Suddenly, a door opened and a voice called, "Quick, in here!"

Kazahaya took one last look at the pleading Rikuo's and then darted into the room. The door suddenly slammed behind him, leaving him in pitch darkness. There was the sound of a match being lit, but there was no light until Kazahaya saw the lit match touch a candle Kazahaya screamed as he saw that the room he was in was lined with bones and that the person that had saved him was Tsuki. "No!" He screamed.

"Kyo! Kyo!" Cawed a crow as it landed on Tsuki's shoulder.

"What some water?" Tsuki asked as he leaned his face closer to the flame, showing that his face was really Tsukiko's. The crow gave a cackling laugh as the Tsukiko faced Tsuki's body began to melt into water.

"No, please!" Kazahaya screamed as he sat bolt upright in his bed, gasping for breath. He saw that it was still dark after he caught his breath again and quickly scribbled down what had happened in his dream. He would look it up in the morning.

Original Author Notes: If you think Kazahaya's dream is weird, you should hear some of mine. I dream very similar to this and it's very realistic in full sound and color and I can feel stuff and sometimes things even make sense (like if I push something, it moves the way I pushed it). My most recent of these sorts of dreams that was scary happened…oh, about a month or two ago. I remember the ending only, not the rest. The ending even made me wake up (dreams, not even nightmares, don't wake me up). Anyway, the part I remember was that I was on this ship and it was traveling against the tide. Actually, I think the tide was flowing completely backwards. You know, water flowing up hill sort of effect? Well, the ship went up a water fall (yeah, I remember now, the tide was flowing backwards) and then went down one, but this one was flowing up hill too. As I was descending this reversed waterfall, this large white thing that made a shriek like the ring wraths from Lord of the Rings went up the fall past me and everything I saw turned to shades of grey. I then turned around and saw this little boy who was staring at me. I recognized the boy as someone I knew, but I forgot who it was.

…Now that I'm thinking about it, I think it was Merry. About Merry, it's a long story, but I don't know any physical person named Merry. All I know is that in 7th grade in about October, I dreamt about this invisible being named Merry who, in a dream, tried to persuade me to kill my best friend. After that, for about three to five months, a blonde haired boy who looked about 10 or 11 started showing up in my more realistic dreams. He'd mostly have a minor role, but it freaked me out. I haven't had Merry dreams for a long time until I met Naomi. Since I met her, I've had about seven Merry dreams. The first one was realistic too, which was freaky. It still scares me a little. Anyway, in that first Merry dream after not having any for a few years started in my bathroom. Everything was black and white and I was doing my hair and then I heard a loud clunking noise similar to the noise that the pipes make and I saw this black (remember, it was in black and white) liquid bubbling up from the drain in the tub. I thought nothing of it and then turned back to the mirror to do my hair. Color suddenly returned and then I then heard another clunk and looked into the tub again and saw that the liquid was blood. I then heard the pipes hiss something that sounded like "Merry…" and so I ran to my parent's room.

…I dunno. Maybe I need a psychiatrist.

The Evil Grammar Corrector

"You're mining too, Kazahaya," Tsukiko said in her soft, sweet voice, "As long as you don't care for horses."

"No! I will never care for horses and you'll never make me your slave to dig for gold for you!" Kazahaya screamed as he slapped Tsukiko.

Lol, this is just a random thing I did because I was amused that the grammar check on my computer wanted me to change 'mine' to 'mining'. Now it wants me to change 'grammar check' to 'grammars check' or 'grammar checks'. I hate grammar checks…
