Dream
'God talk'

At midnight, Ren woke up. He looked around the room. 'Young one, why did you wake?' The man said in his head. "I don't know why." Ren said back to him. Shi was laying on his shoulder. Ren felt a ping in his ears. 'Foxlet, does by any chance, your ears hurt?' The man asked Ren. "They might." He said as he falls asleep. A light appeared in front of Shi's bed. The light formed in a man with nine tails, and ears. The man laid his hand on Ren's head. "Young one..." The man said in a whisper, before disappearing.

While going to class, Ren kept hearing a ring in his ears. Ren looked at Shi next to him. She looked better then she was. Suddenly, Ren wrapped his arm around Shi's shoulders. Shi looked up at Ren and smiled. "Ren, why don't you-" Shi got cut off when she got hit with a shoe. Ren grabbed the shoe and threw it back at the one who threw it first. The shoe hit a girl that was always flirting with Ren. Ren then walked down the hall with Shi, holding her eye. In class, Ren sat on the desk while Shi was sitting in the seat. "Ren, you didn't need to do that." Shi said in a soft voice to the fox. Ren looked at his mate in a "are-you-kidding-face". "Shi, she had no right to do that." Ren said back. Shi opened her mouth when the bell dinged. Ren went to his seat when Ryuuya came in. As always, Ren stared at Shi. She was looking at Ryuuya. 'Young one, please pay attention.' The King said to Ren. 'I'm sorry, but it's hard to pay attention when you don't want to do something.' Ren said to the King. Ren then felt a hand on his shoulder. 'I know, foxlet. Its hard to do, but don't do it for you. Do it for your family; Shi, Rai, and Masato.' The King told Ren. Ren can feel the King behind him. 'Alright...' Ren sighed. The King smiled.

Ren and Shi skipped lunch and went to the tree. Ren had his glasses off, eyes closed with Shi next to him. 'Oh, child...' The King said as Ren listened. The King has been playing songs in Ren's head. Ren has been listening to them. He really likes the songs. 'I'm glad you like this old man's songs, child.' The King laughed. Ren smiled as he falls asleep.

Ren and Shi woke up in a tent. Ren had his ears and tails out. The guards came in the tent and kneeled to them. "Chief, Chiefress, King Ryu told as to bring you here." The blue kitsune said. Ren stood up with Shi. "Ryu? Who's Ryu?" Ren asked the guards. The blue kitsune looked to him. "Ryu is The King of Music." The blue guard told him as he got food from the yellow guard. "Here's some food for you, Chief." The blue guard said as he sat the food down. "Thanks." Ren said. The guards bowed and left the tent. The food was fried fish with rice and tea. Ren and Shi began eating when Kenichi came in. "Hello Chief, Chiefress." Kenichi said as he bows to them. Ren looked at him. Kenichi's eyes hold something. "What is it, Kenichi?" Ren asked he stops eating. Kenichi smiled. "Well, I found out how you and the King have the same blood. "Kenichi said with a gleam in his eyes, which widened at the sight of Ren's mouth wide open. "What do you mean? How are me and the King similar?" Ren asked shocked. Kenichi's smile widen. "That is for me to know, and you to figure it out for yourself." Kenichi said as he bowed and left the tent.

AT THE DEVILS CAMP

Hayato woke up to the sound of the birds chirping. He looked around seeing if his brother was there. After Hayato looked around, he got up from his bed and left the tent. He looked at the guards in front of his tent. "I'm going out." Hayato said as he left the guards behind. Hayato ran as he went in the forest. He ran until he came to Tokiya, Otoya, and Dante. "Tokiya, you need to learn to control sand." Hayato heard Dante say to his brother. Otoya sitting down by the tree, looked over to Hayato. Hayato waved Otoya to come to where to he was. Otoya stood up and walked over to Hayato. "Hayato, did you have a nice nap?" Otoya asked him. Hayato smiled and nodded. "Yes. Otoya, I'm going to see my friend again, okay?" Hayato said to him. Otoya smiled and ruffled Hayato's hair. "Yea, get back before night time." Otoya said back to Hayato. Hayato hugged Otoya before running off again. Otoya walked back to the tree and sat down. Tokiya looked to his mate. "Where did Hayato go?" Tokiya asked the red headed Devil. "He went to see his friend. I told him to get back before night time." Otoya told to Tokiya. Tokiya looked to where Hayato was. "Who's this friend?" Otoya had bigger smile on his face. "A human named 'Ranmaru'." Tokiya's eyes widen at the name. Suddenly, Tokiya's demon power flared. A purple aura around Tokiya got brighter and brighter. Then the sand went up like a wave. Dante backed away a step or two. Otoya wrapped his wings around himself.

The wave of sand exploded! The sand went everywhere, covering the ground, covering both Dante and Otoya. Tokiya's power lessen to were it stopped glowing. Tokiya was shoulder deep in sand. Dante popped his head out of the sand, Otoya unwrapped his wings around himself. "Umm... Tokiya, when I said to control the sand..." Dante started to dig himself out of the sand, "this isn't what I meant." Tokiya looked at Dante with a sad aura around him. Dante and Otoya had a cartoon sweat drop.

IN SYO AND NATSUKI"S ROOM

"Oh, Syo-Chan! You're so cute!" Natsuki yelled in a happy voice with Syo in his arms and Satsuki on the bed watching them. "I'm not cute! GET OFF ME!" Syo yelled at Natsuki. Instead off letting go of Syo, Natsuki's arms wrapped tighter around his waist. Syo looked at Satsuki, "Satsuki, please get Natsuki off me!" Syo plead to Satsuki. Satsuki sighed. "Natsuki let the midget go, so he can stop yelling." Satsuki said to his look alike. Natsuki let go of Syo, who sighed in relief. Natsuki went to the bed with Satsuki. "Saa-chan, you're cute too! With your small ears!" Natsuki said as he hugged Satsuki. Satsuki had gotten uncomfortable. Syo smiled evil, he never saw Satsuki nervous with a hug before. Quickly, he got his phone and took a picture at the two Natsukis. Satsuki looked over to Syo. "Midget, delete that picture now!" Satsuki said angrily at Syo. Syo got brave... "No..." Syo said nervously, Satsuki felt a vein snapped. "YOU MIDGET, GIVE ME THAT PHONE!" Satsuki yelled, Natsuki let Satsuki go. Satsuki ran to Syo. Syo went to the door and ran down the hall. Natsuki stayed on the bed. "Should I have stopped Saa-chan?" Natsuki said to himself before running after Syo and Satsuki.

Haruka walked through the halls, thinking about what Primus said. 'Young one, choose the young demons to be your partners.' Haruka thought over and over about it, but couldn't think why he said that. Then she heard yelling and foot steps.

"Midget, give me that phone!"

"Stop following me, Satsuki!"

"Saa-chan~ wait!"

Those voices are Syo, Natsuki, and...Satsuki! Haruka ran to where the voices are heading. She got there, Syo was in the floor, Satsuki was pulling on pink cat ears, and Natsuki was trying to pull Satsuki off of Syo. "I'll delete the picture, stop pulling my ears!" Syo yelled to Satsuki and delete the picture. Satsuki got off of Syo and went back to their room. "Syo-chan, you okay?" Natsuki asked the smaller boy then saw Syo's phone. Natsuki gasped with stars in his eyes. "Cute~ Syo send me this picture!" Natsuki said as he grabbed Syo's phone. It's the picture with Satsuki nervous with Natsuki hugging him. Syo smiled.

Haruka stared at them in shock. 'Why are there...' 'Child, that's Satsuki. He's Natsuki's twin brother.' Primus said to Haruka. This shocked her. "I thought he was only a another personality for Shinomiya-san." Haruka whispers to Primus. Syo got up from the floor and with Natsuki, they went back to their room. 'I'll tell you when the time is right, child. Remember, the finial project is soon.' Primus said to her. In a few months, a composer and a singer will get paired together to write a song. Who ever has a powerful song, the graduates without finishes school but will have help from professional singers. Haruka will have to choose who will be her partner.

The next day, Haruka sat in her chair until Masato and Rai came in. Rai was hugging Masato's arm, like always. "Hijirikawa, Praxian, will you help me with something?" Haruka asked timidly to them. She knows its her chose, but she wants a little input. "Sure we're friends, aren't we?" Rai said with a happy voice. Haruka got her courage. "Who do you think I should choose for the project?" Haruka asked shyly. Masato and Rai looked at each other then back to Haruka. "Hey, that's still few months away. Relax." Rai said with a smile. Haruka smiled and nodded her head. She has time to choose someone.

At lunch, Ren, Shi, Tokiya, Otoya, Masato, and Rai were outside, talking about the project. "Why don't we choose our mates, and then form a group?" Rai asked. "We can't." Tokiya said to her. Shi thought then she remembers something. "Wait, the Head Master told me all we needed was a strong song. Who are the powerful singers in the school?" Shi said to the demons around her. Ren's eyes widen, she has a plan. "Ichinose, Ittoki, Shinomiya, Kurusu, Hijirikawa, Shi, and Myself." Ren answered to Shi's question. Rai's eyes lit up. "That's right! If you have the most powerful singers, and a powerful composer, then you have a powerful song." Rai said, backing up her sister. Masato, Ren, Otoya agreed with the two girls. Otoya looked to Tokiya. Tokiya didn't like the idea, but he wants to sing...

"Well, it's decided. We will have to get the others to agree with us and find a composer." Masato said with a little smile. Rai hugged Masato. Ren and Shi smiled, Otoya kept looking at Tokiya. "We'll meet back here in a few months." Shi told them. They all stood and left, going to their rooms.

A FEW MONTHS LATER

It's time for the last project to take place. Over the months, the group of demons got Syo, Natsuki, and Satsuki to agree to form a group, all that's left to find is a composer to write a stong song. They know who. Shining let the students to go an island to let them relax and think of the project. Haruka found it kind of hard for her. "Haruka!" A voice yell for her as she looked at the huts. The voice belongs to Tomochika. Tomochika ran to her and hugged Haurka. They talked about the island, and the project. Tomochika told Haruka that she already chose someone. Haruka was happy for her.

As the day went on, Haruka got requests from Syo, Natsuki, Ren, Masato, and Otoya. 'I have to choose between them. I don't think I can...' Haruka thought to herself. Sighing, Haruka got her shoes and went for a walk. Haruka walked along the shore, the ocean coming in and going out. Haruka stopped. Tokiya stood in front of her, looking out to sea. "Ichinose-san?" Harkua said. Tokiya sighed and looked at her. "Why do the others see in you?" Tokiya asked coldly to Haruka. "I don't know what do mean..." Haruka trailed off what she was saying. Tokiya sighed and looked back to the sea. "You were right. I'm Hayato. You saw right past me." Tokiya said, causing Haruka to wide her eyes. "Huh?" Haruka stared at the purple headed boy. "I want to sing. When I got hurt, I started to loss my strength. I couldn't sing songs that are not me. But I got that strength back when I sang to those children." Tokiya started to smile, "They wanted to come to my concerts. Their smiles bring happiness to me." Haruka looked at Tokiya, there's sadness in his eyes. "You can sing more, Ichinose." Tokiya widen his eyes to Haruka, tears starting to fall. "I love your songs. They saved me, they gave me strength." Haruka said, tears running down her face. "Sing more. I want to hear more of your songs." Haruka cried, her yellowish-green eyes closed. Tokiya formed a sing on his lips, laughing quietly. 'That's why the others are fawning over her. She gaves you courge.' Tokiya thought to himself as the sun raises. Otoya watched them from the hut where he and Tokiya shared. Otoya smiled. 'He finally got that off his shoulders...' Otoya went back inside, to sleep a bit more before the sun got brighter.

Haruka went back to her room but found Kupurru in front of her. "Huh? Kupurru, what are you doing here?" Haruka asked, Kupurru ran towards the forest. Haruka gasped then followed him. She came to ruins with flowers and vines covering them, while fireflies were flying around. Haruka couldn't help to gasp, the sight was beautiful. "I'm glad your here." A voice came behind her. Haruka turned around to see a boy. "It's you again!" Haruka said shocked. The boy smiled. "The Muse brought you here. They blessed you and the others." The boy said as he walks to the the vines, plucked a flower and gave it to Haruka. The boy placed the flower in her hand. "Music is like a flower, only when you nurture it, it will will grow." The boy said as he grabbed Haruka's hand. "What will I do?" She asked the boy. The boy smile got bigger. "Listen to your heart. Only your heart will tell you." The boy said before kissing Haruka's hand. She blushed.

The students went back to school. Haruka felt better then she did. After class, She went to find her teacher, Ringo. "Ringo-Sensei!" She yelled to the him. Ringo turned around. "Oh, Nanami-chan! What can I do for you?" Ringo asked his student. Haruka caught her breath. "Ringo-Sensei, what should I do about the project? I can't choose a partner." Haruka told her teacher. Ringo 'hummed'. "I can't help you; It's your choice, Nanami-chan." Ringo told the girl. Haruka lower her head a bit. "But congratulations! You have most potential partners, and you got a new one." Haruka shot her head up. "Huh?" Ringo smiled. He bowed down a little, pointed a finger to the sky. "It's no other than... Tokiya Ichinose!" Ringo said happily. "HUH!?" Haruka yelled.

That night, Haruka couldn't sleep. A meow rang in Haruka's ears. Haruka raised up to see Kupurru outside. "Huh, Kupurru?" Haruka asked as she got up from her bed. Kupurru jump down from the window. Haruka ran out of her room to follow the cat. Haruka ran until she found the boy with his back to her. "Hello again, my princess." The boy said as he turned around to her, with a smile. Haruka stood there as the boy walked to her. "Have you thought of who your partner is?" The boy asked her. Haruka bowed her head, shaking it. "No, I haven't..." Haruka said sadly. The boy looked sad at her then put a smile on his face. "I'm Cecil Aijime. I'm sorry I haven't told you yet." The boy, Cecil, said. Haruka smiled a bit. Cecil took her hand. "I know what will calm you, my princess." Cecil said before kissing her hand. Cecil pulled away from Haruka's hand. He opened his mouth, as beautiful words flowed.

Crossing over the moonlit sea,
Now in these hands, love is awakening

I sing of eternity in the voice of the sea's roar
I've always been searching for you

I embrace this fated meeting
I gather love songs from around this world
I'll inform that heart and that dream
I was born only for you
To be your "guardian"

Haruka listened to Cecil as he sings. Cecil dances with Haruka, trolling her. Haruka danced with Cecil, his singing is relaxing her, like Cecil said.

A bride clad in a slumbering veil
In the sky of memories, let's hold these feathers aloft

We'll probably meet again in the distant future
Because this dream will we follow this endless dream

You're blossoming even more than thousands of roses
You're shining more than the songs of tens of thousands of stars
I swear to you, my lovely
Like the sun's warmth, the truth will gently
Continue to shine on you

Floating in a transparent ship, let's travel to the mother galaxy

I embrace this fated meeting
I gather love songs from around this world
I'll inform that heart and that dream
I was born only for you
To be your "guardian"

Once Cecil was done singing, he brought his face inches away from Haruka's face. "I love you, my princess." Cecil said before kissing Haruka's lips. Haruka widen her eyes at the kiss, then closed her eyes.

Yea, I mixed a few things up. I'm sorry.

Shiax: Yea.
