"Alright Yui I want you to imagine a nice beautiful light there's what looks to be a cup in front of you. It's just sitting there sealed off and filled to the brim with a sort of pin liquid. I want you to do your best to reach for that cup and try to get the seal off it and allow the liquid to come out." Aika said softly, her hands cupping both of her daughters hands in her own looking at Yui's slightly slacked face but her lashes fluttered her brows pulling together softly.
"Aika, maybe Yui isn't ready to start her training or whatever it is you want to do." Kou asked stepping forward but Aiko nailed him with a look that clearly told him not to come any closer and he paused immediately staring at the blonde woman until she turned her attention to Yui again.
"Yui, you needn't force yourself or push yourself to hard. Don't feel rushed or pressured, it'll make it a bit harder to get that cover off the cup. So just breath in and out for me then try to remove that cover." Aiko said taking a breath and Yui copied her slowly then let it out then took in another breath letting it out slowly.
In Yui's mind she could see exactly what her mother was talking about, her hands were wrapped around that cup and she moved her hand slowly up to pull at the cover pulling on it but to her little surprise, the cover felt like it was nailed down and she began to pull harder but with each pull it got harder to keep a grip on the cup and it slipped from her hands disappearing and in her attempt to catch it, her her hands clenched down tightly on her mothers and her eyes snapped open as she pulled in a loud breath like she hadn't ben breathing. She looked at her mother's hopeful jade eyes but she sighed letting go of her mother's hands putting them in her own lap looking down sighing out gently as the Mukamis' looked at her also.
"I didn't do it." Yui said on a sigh as her hair hung in front of her face and she played with the ends of her hair softly as her brows pulled together tightly, her body feeling strangely lethargic and heavy feeling in a way she wasn't exactly used to but something that was becoming more common with each time she and her mother did this which was daily since she'd mentioned Ayato's name to Kou.
"It's alright. You'll get it soon enough, I believe you will if anyone can do it it's you Yui." Aika said as she looked at Yui smiling gently reaching out cupping Yui's cheek in a motherly fashion that Yui was growing more and more used to as time went on.
"I understand that, I just wish I could finally do it and be accomplished that I finally tapped into it." Yui said as her cheek pressed against Aika's softly her lashes casing small tiny shadows against her skin, her eyes darker and more tired looking at that moment as she looked at her mother again blinking slowly and softly.
"It'll be okay, you'll get it Yui. I have confidence in you." Aika said keeping her hand curled around Yui's cheek smiling warmly at her and her thumb stroked her cheek bone softly. "Just keep on trying Yui, whether you're alone or with me, it's just about practice."
"I know." Yui mumbled softly before sighing gently staying in place taking in the concern rolling off Ruki, Yuma, Kou and Azusa in a surprising way but she turned her head a bit her mother moving over to her and cupped her cheek softly again stroking it softly and held one of Yui's hand softly in comforting actions.
"How are you feeling Yui?" Kou asked before any of his brothers could looking at her and she looked right back at him smiling gently.
"I'm fine, just tired is all. I kind of want to lay down. ." Yui said trailing off a bit then let out a squeak when Kou moved fast swooping her up into his arms. Her hands clutched onto him tightly at the sudden swooping motion and she looked at him in shock as he walked across the room and through the door way, walked towards the stairs her body bouncing just a tiny bit with his steps and he started climbing up the stairs. "Kou what are-"
"If you're tired then you should lay down. You'll drain yourself even more if you don't start taking naps after these sort of things with your mother." Kou said a bit strictly as he climbed up the stairs a bit faster reaching the top and he walked down the hall towards her room which was the only door at the end of the hallway and he pushed the door open softly then kicked it shut just as light.
"Are. . you worried about me then?" Yui asked slowly then grinned a bit as she stared at Kou who seemed to get just a little bit red in the face as he pulled her blankets back then laid her down and pulled the blankets around her.
"Shut up, don't go saying things like that out loud." He said moving a hand through his hair but his cheeks seemed to grow just a little bit redder making Yui chuckle softly and just as he was about to walk away she sat up on her elbow reaching her hand out grabbing his, her grin turning into a soft smile.
"It's sweet you're worried. Lay with me?" Yui asked her own cheeks flushing a bit as he turned his head to look at her and then he nodded softly walking around the bed then climbed onto it making the springs squeak quietly as he laid next to her, his arm moving up for his head to lay on as she turned onto to her right side facing him, her hair splayed out across the pulled and framed her face softly. She moved closer to him until her body was pressed against his surprised she could feel the warmth from his body even through the blankets and she rested her head against his chest softly almost hesitantly as she closed her eyes, one of her hands curling slightly at her side. "Stay with me until I fall asleep?"
"I'll stay with you, so shush and go to sleep." Kou said his tone a little gruff which amde Yui smile softly moving her arm around his waist gently as she held his shirt softly in her hand as she kept her eyes closed. She honestly loved to sleep with Kou like this even if sometimes she woke up without him there, it was still sweet that he would lay with her until she fell asleep like he did. She yawned softly curling up a bit as his arms shifted wrapping around her softly holding her to his chest gently as she drifted off to sleep feeling warm and protected in a way that she loved deeply.
When Yui opened her eyes in her dream state, she knew surprisingly that she was indeed dreaming and the feeling was strange seeing as when she dreamed she almost never knew she was dreaming sometimes. She walked forward the walls a warm golden color that was familiar to her and she realized with a little jerk she was in a hallway but the color of the walls were the same as the "room" she was suppose to be with the cup etc etc. but this time she was walking down a hallway that possibly lead to that room. She ran forward hoping she'd be able to open the cup and release the contents and be happy with herself but when she finally saw the door she ran faster and faster her arms pumping at her sides.
She reached the door shoving it open but instead of the gold room she was welcomed with a gushing rain and thunder that made her flinch and she stood in front of a house that was big and familiar to looked around blinking softly in confusion as to what was going on but she felt her body moving on it's own accord rushing her towards to the big double oak doors and she noticed the doors were opened a bit and she pushed them open walking inside her shirt damp and she entered a foyer or front hall room and it was so grand it took her breath away.
She walked forwards to the stairs when a figure got her attention and she sucked in a harsh breath walking over to the figure looking down her eyes widening a bit. The rumpled clothes and the way they were out of order, the pale skin and when she looked at his face she sucked in another breath at the familiarity in the features along with the red hair as she reached out resting one hand next to his head pressing her ear to his heart wondering if he was awake.
She was aware she was talking but her mind couldn't absorb what she was saying at all but it was more that she didn't give a damn about what she was saying and more if the boy- Ayato- was awake. Then when she got off the couch she moved to find a phone, feeling uneasy when a hand slammed down on hers scaring the hell out of her seeing as it seemed to come out of nowhere and she gasped tilting her head back to stare into piercing green eyes.
Again he was talking but she couldn't really absorb the sound of them,she could just watch his lips move as he talked and she found herself on her back and he grinned fangs flashing and she was gripped with a strange unnecessary fear as she struggled to get away when a new presence made Ayato and her still and she turned her head looking at the person. He had violet black hair, a sort of suit or uniform of sorts which ever one it was, all she noted was it looked very formal and well put together, he had glasses that shielded light red eyes that stared at her with a certain heat that made her skin crawl.
Just as he opened his mouth Yui was shoved back hard like a hand was shoving her and she was back in the hallway stumbling backwards her head thudding hard as the door disappeared, the wall seeming to stretch out again like she never went down it and it was disorienting. She pulled in a breath in then out slowly and softly as she pressed her hand to her pounding heart, her vision doubled a couple times before she felt stable enough to stand up and walk down the hall again. She felt like her body was filled to the brim with stones, making each step hard as hell for her to take as she walked down the hall slowly her hair sticking to her skin which was damp with sweat and she shivered gently seeing another door and just as she stretched her hand out-
Yui woke up with a gasp, Kou stirring beside her slightly as she sucked in breathes her skin wet with sweat causing her hair to stick to her skin like blonde tendrils. She moved a hand up rubbing her eyes hard sitting up slightly her hands shaking softly, her heart was pounding away and she felt like something was crawling underneath her skin in a way that was not pleasant at all.
She let out a little keening noise as she covered her face softly trembling hard feeling like she wanted to just crawl out of her skin already but the new boy, the one with the violet black hair. She felt the same sort of de ja vu feeling she had felt with Ayato, like she knew him and would find out his name soon enough too. She continued trembling softly keeping her hands over her face until Kou woke up sitting up on his elbows next to her.
"Yui what's wrong?" He murmured, his voice thick with sleep as she peeked out of her hands to look at him and she trembled again feeling like she wanted to claw at her skin to get this crawling feeling to go frowned at her lack of an answer sitting up fully looking at her his brows pulling together and he grabbed her wrists pulling her hands away from her face a bit hard as he looked at her intently. "Yui tell me."
"I just. . had a bad dream. That's all." Yui whispered out gently as she looked at Kou her hands clenching into fists as she looked at him forcing a little smile and he pulled her to him roughly in a sudden motion she blinked lightly much as she had earlier before their nap.
"Don't get too worked up over bad dreams Yui, they always go away trust me." Kou murmured into her hair softly holding her to him tightly as the blankets pooled at Yui's waist her head against his chest and her eyes already felt again as she wrapped her arms around him tightly, clutching onto him her eyes squeezing shut as one tiny tear made it's way down her cheek.
"I hope so. I don't like them Kou, their so confusing, I want them to stop I don't want to remember." Yui said softly feeling like her heart was throbbing instead of beating hard and she tightened her arms as he stroked her hair laying them both back down.
"It'll be okay. It's alright, don't cry it'll be alright I'm right here, nothing will happen. Even if you do or don't remember I'll help you with this." Kou said gently as he stroked her hair softly feeling how hard she was trembling and he frowned a bit before kissing the top of her head softly in what he hoped was a comforting motion. "You'll be okay Yui, I promise."
