Finally , the last day of the test is over. Narukami Yu , the 3rd year student who had just finished his midterm test , and the peaceful vacation is waiting for him.

The first thing that come to his mind is not the beutiful beach , or the wonderful landscape of tourist hotspot , but the small town , with not thing but filled with people who he love the most. Inaba.

Where he spent 1 year , in the town which devoured by fog , created by Izanami-no-Mikoto. But now he hope that this time when he return to Inaba. He will live there at peace. And enjoy his time with his best friend , the whole member of investigation team , who aid him with solving the bizarre murdered case lat year.

He already got a permission from his parent , to immediately head to Inaba and stay for his whole vacation. He take a sit in the train , prepared the eki-ben and some stuff to help him enjoy the long ride and calm his excited heart. The train seems to be too slow , because now his heart flew over to Inaba already.

Yu wonder how the other's doing by now.

But then , he got the phone called from Nanako , his uncle's daughter , who he already consider as his own lil' sister.

"Onii-chan…" her voice's sound worry

"Hi , Nanako how are you doing?"

"Dad….Dad….." she start to sob , but try her best to hide it

"Nanako? , Uncle Dojima? What happend" now it's him who begin to panick.

"Dad's sleeping...but he didn't wake up. I try everything but he didn't wake up...now he's in hospital…" her voice's shaking.

"Nanako...I'm here...I will be there in no time...don't worry" his word is opposite to what's in his mind. Now he feel so want to be by her side , he want to do something with this situation.

"Umm...I'll be waiting…" she try to stay strong. That's how Nanako always did her best to surpress her loneliness.

"I'll see you soon , and we will visit uncle together"

Yu hung up his phone. his body feel heavy. And his head spining. It's the same time when he arrive at Inaba. He's too worry to sleep , but now his mind drifted off to somewhere as soon as he end his call. The light from train'swindow slowly face away. And then the nostalgic scenario appear in front of his eyes , the room surround by velvet blue.

The velvet room. But this time it's not the limo anymore. It's look totally difference. Sine it's look more like a bedroom to him. At the middle of the room behind the small partition was a big , luxuary bed , cover in blue blanket and pillow. On the bed was one youngman. sleeping peacfully. And in fron of the bed. Was the set of table and chair. With the creepy oldman with long nose called "Igor" facing Yu from the other side of the table. With the fine women , Magaret aid him at his side.

"Welcome to the velvet room , it's long time since our last meeting. I truly sorry to inturupted you again since your contract was done. But I must need you to sign a new contract. And I hope I can have your collaboration."

The wild card wielder look at the oldman and the contract that appear out of no where. and then he look back at the boy on the bed.

"Is it about him?"

Igor noded.

"Well , its a longs story. But now the princess is sleeping and wait for the prince to wake her up by the kiss of true love…"

Yu raise his eyebrown , don't tell me he have to kiss a guy? He didn't even know this guy.

"And still...many princess are waiting for you to wake them up from the Realm of Dream"

"wake them up?"

Don't tell me...this have something to do with Dojima's case?

If he recall what Nanako said , Dojima sleeping and she can't wake him up what ever she did.

"Indeed...But to wake the other princess , waking up this adorable one will grant you the power to bring the other back from the Realm of Dream...but it's not an easy task" Igor look at the young boy with dark navy hair , who sleeping on the bed behind him.

"Who is he?"

"No need to worry. When he come back from a long slumber , he will tell you everything , But to wake him up from the death like-sleep. You need to sacrifice something. And the contract are need to be signed..."

The young man look at the contract , the boy on bed , and then Igor. He don't know what is happening. And Igor's seems to know what's in his mind.

"It's no need to worry...we will met again soon. And you can decided after confirmed something on your side...please stay save."

Igor bow , and the light start to glow. Yu looking at the "princess" for last time.

And then , he feel like his head goona burst , some strange feeling lurking into his body. The image of the creepy fullmoon , the town full with coffin , and the chill that run through his spine.

"Atleast...I can keep my promised…"

He heard the stranger's voice ringing in his head , and then he wake up in the train , the scenario outside already changed from afternoon rice field , to the pitch black night sky filled with stars.

Now he know that there must be something happen. And he can see Inaba station from far away.

Yu arrive at Yasoinaba station around evening. And a young girl was waiting for him , try to cover her red-eyes , and force a smile for him. Nanako press her lips together , and seems to reach her limit. She ran into her big brother , who open his arm and hug her tightly.

He know how hard this situation is to the young girl in her age. Now with Dojima had been hospitalize , she had been alone in the house.

"Nanako , your big brother is here , it'll be ok" he speak while stroke her back gently.

The girl nodded , and squees his clothes.

"Let's go and visited uncle" yu said

She give him more nodded , while trying not to cry.

Yu feel so relieve that he come here at the right time , or Nanako will be all alone. Yu hold Nanako's hand while walking to a bus stop , heading to hospital.

Yes...He just sleeping

After talking with the doctor , Yu have a feeling that something really happen in Inaba by now. He thinking very hard while sitting at the chair next to the bed. And Nanako cling to the bed , looking at her dear father with teary eyes. Yu drown deep into his mind. And then he heard the door open with many foot steps.

He turned back and saw his best friends , the whole investigation team.

"Guys...sorry , this should be our great meeting…" Yu said

It's been a year since the last time he saw them and yet , it's like he bring all the problem with him everytime he come to this peaceful town.

"Hey , it's not like you want this to happend , right partner?" Yosuke come and pat his back

"And you give us a call , it must be something right senpai?" Naoto asked.

Yu had texted to everyone about Doujima and tell them that it might be someting happen in Inaba again.

Yu leave Nanako at her's father 's side , and gather everyone at the visitor area.

"So , he's just sleeping?" Rise raise her vocie a little bit with curiuosity.

"Just sleep , with no reacted at all...they seems difference from the coma-patient , since some of them can still sense , and hear…and the doctor find nothing wrong with Dojima-san even how much they examine...like he really just sleep , and I heard there other patien with the same condition in this hospital too..." Naoto try to put every infomation together.

"But we still don't know anything…" Yukiko try to thinking of something else.

"Is it about shadow again? Is anything wrong in the TV world?" Kanji asked Teddie , and Teddie raise his shoulder "Sensei , I'm beary sorry but nothing changed in TV world…"

Yu sigh , now he recall that Igor said "They are so many princess who wait for the prince to wake them up fom the Realm of Dream" And Yu decide to tell everyone about what's he learn from Igor , and he know everyone will believe him , since all of them go through a totally freak show with him.

"Isn't it sound like a sleeping beuty?" Chie said the first thing that some to her mind.

"But , how about the Princess…..err….or I should call the prince?"Kanji talk about the young boy on the bed.

"I don't know…" the wild card wielder let out a big sigh.

"We can't be sure , but let assume that this incident have something to do with the shadow's world , because it's the phenomenon that happend once , and also a chance to happend again. Because this time it was difference , So we can make sure that this is not something done by Izanami , or her fellow." Naoto make the conclusion from the few information at hand.

"It's hard to said but...We can't do anything unless we get more information about this." Yosuke scratch his head. He know his partner have a hard time , since this happen to his family.

"Senpai , today we should take a good rest , and tomorrow , the investigation team will be on duty again!"Rise try to cheer him up , and it's working.

"Umm , let's do our best tomorrow"

"Oh...anyway…" Yosuke looking at Yu , and then give his eye signal to everyone

"It might not be the perfect timing , but...welcome back Yu!" Yosuke pat his buddy's shoulder

"You seem's healthy as always" Naoto flash a small smile

"I'm glad to see you here" Yukiko smile widely

"Yeah , glad to see ya again , senpai!" Kanji try to cheer him up too

"I miss you so much!" Rise cling on his arm

"Yeah! without you the investigation team can't working!" Chie roar with excitement.

Yu's heart is burst with joy , he know this is where he belong , and one thing he can say for sure is , he have so many people who dear to him , and always be here to aid him and walk by his side.

"OK , then the investigation team , will be back on duty from tomorrow!"
