As my conscious came back to me, I felt the relaxation that I've been waiting for. The covers that covered my entire body felt soft along with the mattress that I laid on. I was tired. Too tired.

"Are you awake now?" Just by the voice, I slowly opened my eyes and let out a yawn. After yawning, I started to rub my eyes as I felt that something was in them.

"You came...again." I wasn't entirely awake to fully understand that the person had visited here again.

"Sorry, did I scare you again?"

"No...I wasn't really expecting you to be visiting again like this."

"You still aren't used to this are you?"

"Would it matter to you?" I would need to think of a name for this person. Only thinking that this person is only 'voice' was starting to become unsettling.

"You know, I've been really eager to see you again." There was no body that could be seen. All this person was...was just 'energy.' I couldn't tell if there was a smile or not, but all I know...is that this person 'knows me.' I don't know why, but this person is strange.

"Why would you want to see me out of anyone?"

"No reason. I just felt that 'time wasn't going to be in my favor this time.' What does that mean to that person?

"What do you mean by that?"

"Don't you think that fate and destiny was all based on time? Why would the existence of one's being be decided the moment they are born?" Why was this person asking me like I know the answers?

"Why ask me these questions that you know the answers to?" Were they playing with me? There's no reason to ask a question when they would already know the answer to it.

"Because...why wouldn't I ask? It's so entertaining listening to answers from someone like you."

"You haven't answered none of my questions and yet you want me to answers yours? I don't think that's fair Mumei."

"Mumei? Are you referring to me?"

"Yes. That is the name that I have thought of since you haven't gave me yours."

"Mumei as in no name right? Cute. I already have a name but I think I should stick with Mumei since it's you."

"I see." I had laid back down on my bed as there wasn't anything else to do. It felt soft. So soft that I could go back to sleep in a second.

But this wasn't my bed.

This wasn't my room.

This wasn't my world.

"You kidnapped me again didn't you?" Asking a question when you know the answer to it. I'm a hypocrite.

"Oh? You could tell? Tell me, what did I do wrong this time? And plus, isn't it wrong to ask a question when you already know the answer to it?" I had a feeling that this person was going to throw that back at me.

"The bed. My bed wasn't always this plus, my bed had a more 'different' smell compared to this bed. Last time, you made my dresser be filled with stripped colored underwear where they were never stripped at all." A slight giggle had came from the person's voice.

"You got me. I knew I should've placed my scent on the bed. Oh well, it makes it more entertaining to me."

"Please don't blurt out your actions in front of your victim. It makes it even more creepy when I don't even know if it's a man or woman that had been laying on my actual bed."

"I can be any gender you want. Female, or male. Well, if you swing that way than sure, I'll be a male for you." Before I could say anything, the 'energy' was no more. Instead, there was only a woman that stood in place of it.

"..."

"Oh come on! Not even an cliche nose bleed of the sort? Don't boys do that when they see a beauty!? No, you must swing the other way don't you!?"

"For you concern, no, I don't swing that way for your terms. And while you say boys nosebleed at the sight of women, then they are probably perverts. And for another thing, it's hard to react to someone's face when you can't even see their face."

"I didn't know you cared about facial features. From what I understood about humanity, it's always about the breasts when it comes to women." I didn't like where this was going. I wanted to leave this conversation as fast as possible. Why would I know about something like that?

"So could you let me leave now? I don't feel right sitting in a replication of my room."

"Changing the subject are we? Fine then, I guess I'll enlighten you. A replicated room you say? I guess you can say that. But that's not really what this is. It's myworld. The world that no one could see but chosen." A 'world that no one could see but chosen? That doesn't make any sense. I haven't been chosen for anything.

"While this is my world, or should I call it, The Universe's Opposite yet there is still one thing that I cannot control here."

"For a world that you control, there are things that you can't even do?" Before Mumei said anything else, she sat on the edge of the bed and took my hand.

I should rather say tried to take my hand as her hand went through mine.

Saying that I couldn't see her face was a bit of a lie. I couldn't entirely see her eyes. The only thing I could see is her long silver hair and her mouth. While her silver hair was amazing, her mouth only showed a small frown.

"I wish to touch you...and yet I can't even do that. It's not fair." She tried to touch me with her hands for many long seconds. After seeing the results of her efforts, she gave up with a disappointed sigh.

"Fwah, seems like no matter what I do, I can't touch you."

"..." I didn't find this entertaining at all. I just want to go home and sleep. But before I even had the thought of asking to go back home...

"Do you know what Spirits are?"

"Spirits? What do you mean by that?" I never heard of the term before.

"You live in this world, yet you don't even know about them. I can't say that I'm disappointed. But you're still adorable when you look stupid so I guess I should tell you some things about your own world. But promise me one thing."

"...What is it?" Ignoring the stupid compliment, I sat up waiting for the news to come that I haven't heard of before. This was going to change my natural life by a long shot.

"Live. Even if the world goes against you, you must live. Your life is very valuable. To spirits, to humans, to animals, everything in the world. If you die...no, you WILL live no matter the cost." Her voice...it was serious. I don't know why my life is valuable, but I don't want to die. I want to live. There's no reason for me to die this early.

Especially when I don't know why I exist.

"Okay..."

To live unnoticed is the safest chance I have to not get killed.

Opening my eyes, I found myself in my room. All of the stress that I had endured had quickly washed away. I wanted to continue to snuggle in my bed as I never wanted to get out of it. After having my house turn back to normal, I could finally get the rest that I needed.

Wait. My house was back to normal.

Jolting up from my bed, I looked around my room to find anything out of the ordinary. And the only thing I could find that wasn't normal, was the jade haired woman that laid her arms on my bed as her head was resting on top of them.

"Natsumi?" Yes, Natsumi was currently sleeping on the side of my bed. What kind of dream was happening right now?

"Nngh." As she heard my voice, Natsumi started to come to reality. But there was something different about Natsumi.

Was she always that short before?

"Good morning world." As Natsumi said this, she took a look around her surroundings. As she looked at me, I'm guessing that she wasn't fully awake yet as she ignored the fact that I was awake. But upon staring at me again, she found out that I was staring right back at her.

"So you've seen me like this again. How many times has it been? To be honest. I don't really care anymore." What an odd reaction. I would've been expecting a spell that would turn me into something grotesque. But still, why wasn't she doing anything to me now?

"Hey, do you mind if I use your shower?

"Um, go right ahead." As she left to go to my shower, she turned back into the form that makes her look like a 20 year old.

After a few minutes had passed, Natsumi had came out of the shower with her normal attire. Seriously, what was going on here?

"Thanks. So now I'm probably guessing that you want to know why I'm here right now aren't you?" Natsumi casually sat in my chair as if it was her own house.

"You're asking something that you already know the answer to." Natsumi only giggled a bit before grabbing my shirt abruptly, pushing me towards her face.

"Listen, I didn't come here to play any jokes. I could've been playing around some more to do some more criminal deeds while I'm you, but it looks like you're going to be stuck with me for a while now."

"What exactly do you mean by stuck with me?"

"It's exactly as I said before. You're mine to play with. I can't lose my only plaything to anybody. Not even to that pathetic organizations that Shido Itsuka aligns himself with. You're not being taken away on my watch. " What on Earth was she talking about? Organizations?

"Wait a minute, I don't even know what you're talking about. I need to at least know why you're doing this. You ruined my life and you want me to work with you?"

"I'm not surprised that you don't know what I'm talking about. You've been asleep for a week."

"A week? I've been asleep for that long?" Asleep for a week? I don't know why but I can't say that not I'm surprised.

"Yes, a week. I'm surprised that you can keep that same stoic face even when hearing that. But while you were asleep, you've been taken in by Shido to his organization where they could keep you there until you woke up. None of them knew why you were asleep for that long, but the only thing that could be said is that you experienced a short coma."

"Then why am I not with Shido? Instead, why am I with the person that had promised me that she was going to ruin my life?"

"Because I saved you moron! I'm not telling you why I was there, but you should only know that I saved you." I didn't get it. Saved me from what? Shido? I don't know that much about him, but I'm sure he wouldn't do anything to me.

"And that leaves me to this point: pack your things, we're leaving."

Excuse me?

"Wait, what are you talking about now?" We're leaving? Leaving to where? Why am I even leaving?

"Even if I did save you from Shido and his friends, we are still under his radar. The safest thing we could do is leave this country as it is now. We'll be safe when we do that."

"No." Was all I said. Judging by her shocked face, that wasn't the answer that she wanted to hear.

"What did you say?"

"I said 'no.'

"Are you stupid!? Think about what could happen if Shido and the others capture you!? Do you want to be tested on like a pig!?" Why was she even worrying about my life anyway? She loathed my entire existence before, and now she wants me to run away with her?

"I'm sure you're just misunderstanding something about Shido. From what I've seen, he's a nice person. I'll go talk to him." As I got off my bed to open my door to leave, Natsumi had grabbed my arm.

"Stop." What was wrong with Shido that she doesn't like about him? He wasn't some evil guy that planned on destroying the entire world.

"Explain. What's with the sudden change? Why are you trying to protect me?" She didn't say anything after that. She only kept her grip on my hand to tell me that she wasn't going to let me go.

"..."

"You know something don't you? If you do then please, tell me. I'll think if I should stay with you based on your answer."

"B-Because...I-"

"Tell me already, do you know something or not?" Why was she even acting like this? What happened during the time that I was asleep?

"I-I can't lose you." What? Why were her eyes becoming teary? Did I do something that made her upset?

"Lose me? What does that mean?" After saying that, Natsumi didn't say anything after that before jumping out of my window with her broom only to disappear into the sky.

"She didn't want to lose me? What exactly did that mean to her?"

To lose somebody...

God only knows as to when she'll appear again.
