Chapter three:
Daichi woke up with a start. He looked around and scratched his head. He was back at the graveyard but could have sworn he left. Then it all came back to him. The ghouls in the street, awaiting death, being knocked into a wall, and he groggily remembered a man speaking about his brother. He was about to write it off as a crazy dream but then he noticed something odd about is left hand. His nails were black. He compared it to his other hand which looked nearly the same except for the black nails. He began to panic and quickly ripped of his coat to look for scars. When he saw none he began to scratch at his nails hoping it was nail polish but nothing happened. He backed up until he hit his brother's tombstone and he began to take deep breaths to calm himself down. 'I need to get home' was all he could think as he got up and left the graveyard and made his way down the street to the train station. By the time he got on the train he completely calmed down. He made it back to his aunts house and walked in the door only to be greeted by a concerned cousin.
"Where were you? I tried to get ahold of you but you didn't pick up the phone." Ryou had the look of a concerned parent.
"I was out visiting Ken's grave and I fell asleep." Daichi half lied.
"Oh...ok. That's fine then." Ryou gave a sad look and left for his room.
Daichi followed Ryou's example and made his way to his own room. As soon as his face hit his bed he was out.
...
Daichi had the most unusual dream. He was standing in a field with a single tree on a hill and on the hill in the distance he could make out a figure. He walked closer to the tree and he began to make out the figure. It was his brother. He started running and when he got to the top of the hill he gave his brother a big hug.
"I'm so sorry I never tried harder to see you." Daichi cried
When Ken said nothing Daichi let go of his brother and looked at his face. He was crying.
"What's wrong Ken?" Daichi took a step back from his brother.
"It's all my fault that you are like this now." His voice was low.
"I'm like what?" There was a slight tint of panic in his voice.
Ken's hair turned white and tail-like tentacles sprouted from his back. He looked over at Daichi with one black and red eye and a crazy look on his face.
"A MONSTER!" He yelled as he sprang forward towards Daichi.
Daichi fell back with his eyes wide in both shock and terror as his brother pinned him down. Ken looked ready to eat his brother but then he grabbed his head.
"NononononononononoNONONONONO!" His voice went from a whisper to a shout, "I can't...he's my...brother..." He began to cry again as he fell off Daichi and curled up in a ball still grasping at his head and whispering.
Daichi watched in complete shock as his brother began smacking his head on the ground. Before he could even think, Daichi grabbed his brother. Stopping him from hurting himself and gave him a hug. Ken began to calm down and he stopped whispering to himself. Ken looked up at Daichi his eye had returned to normal and his face wasn't twisted.
He backed away from Daichi, "don't worry, I will be here to help you." He smiled and wiped away his tears.
Daichi's vision became hazy and he fell back. When he hit the grass, he fell through and it became an ocean. He began to sink deeper as though he was being pulled down. He turned to face the darkness but instead was met with the a purple haired woman. Her lips curved into a vicious smile. Daichi woke with a start as he fell off his bed. He looked around his room expecting to see his brother, when nothing appeared he got up off the floor and went back to bed. He didn't have that dream again that night.
