When Miyu got back to her room it was so late Ritsu was asleep. She was very grateful though because she didn't want to talk about what a bizarre night she had. All the way up until she got out of the limo. Even though she didn't ride home with him for which she was happy, when she left the limo she was given another bottle of wine.
She knew it was by order of Lava but she was happy that he cared enough to make sure she was going to be comfortable. It's not like she was going to run out and bite people to calm this odd hunger she had.
Ryu called Miyu before she went to bed. She didn't want to talk to him but it had been a while so she felt like she had too.
"Hey baby where have you been? I talked to Ritsu and she said you went out to dinner with the head of Lava Corp. You can't work for them baby. If were going to get married like we always talked about you can't work for the competition. Tomioko Industries will not allow that. Why are you making everything so hard?" Ryu was mad.
Yes he hadn't seen her in a long time but this was not what he wanted to come home to.
"Hi Ryu I missed you too while you were away. Thanks for congratulating me on my recent job. I was having dinner to discuss his major job project that he is going to make me the head of. I am going to take this job Ryu. My major is business and this is business. Tomioko Industries already said they wouldn't hire me and I don't want to work for them. Their business tactics are nasty and cutthroat. Their entire goal is to buy companies and then chop them up screwing the owners and the employees. I will talk to you tomorrow I had a long day good night." She hung up and laid down.
She hated talking to Ryu when it came to business. He was as nasty as the company that he worked for.
She decided not to think on it any further and went to sleep. As soon as her head hit the pillow she began to have strange dreams.
She was traveling in a strange land and wearing strange clothes. She knew she was in Japan though. Something inside her told her that she knew this land and knew where she was going.
She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Lava. He was walking behind her in a black cloak. He looked very different from how he looked now. Though his eyes were red she could see the gentleness and love in them.
She knew even in the dream that he loved her. She walked into his embrace and he kissed her. She kissed him back and it all felt so natural.
When they separated they went to a creek to wash up. Miyu looked into the creek and was shocked to see herself. She looked like herself but she had fangs and blue eyes. The girl in the dream looked like the girl she was slowly turning into.
The dream skipped ahead and she was alone. There was carnage all around her and people were screaming. Something inside of her told her Lava wasn't in the village with her. She became scared and wanted him close.
The dream started to blur and she was fighting someone. She fought with everything she had but apparently it wasn't good enough. The attacker was stronger by a lot. She was bleeding and couldn't get up.
She saw Lava running towards her but he was tossed away by her attacker. He got to his feet and made eye contact with her. The last thing she saw was her attacker run for Lava. The last thing she heard was Lava scream her name. She was stabbed in the heart and everything went black.
Miyu woke to her own blood curdling scream and Ritsu's paranoid face. Ritsu was shaking Miyu so hard her head was shaking back and forth.
"Miyu! Miyu! Wake the hell up!" Ritsu didn't want Miyu to wake up the entire dorm.
"Ritsu for the love of god stop shaking me before you break my neck." Miyu felt bad that she woke up that way but she was glad. This nightmare set her mind free.
It was like all of the blood she drank and the dream and talking with Lava and the weird pulling feeling just hit her mind all at once. She remembered everything. Miyu didn't know how she could remember a life that to her she didn't even live but she did.
Along with the memories came the feelings. The feeling she had of her duty being a guardian. The feeling she had when she saw he mothers village. She remembered the feeling of loneliness and dying without Lava by her side.
She never hated him for it though. It was not his fault that she died and he tried to save her at the end. She had loved him so much and he had loved her all the time they weren't together. If she looked into her heart she had loved him from the moment she saw him.
Even though all this information had hit her she decided that she still needed at least one day to herself. She didn't want to be with Ryu ever again and she needed time to think about these feelings for Lava.
They were new and they were coming fast. She wanted to spend the day remembering what their life was like back then. She wanted to remember who he was so could get to know him again. From the dream he was as caring and protective of her back then as he was of her now.
She didn't know what lay ahead but she was damn excited.
