Now where am I? Echizen thought. He was walking in a dark cold night in the streets the neighborhood seems very familiar. He kept on walking and walking then finally he saw a little girl running. It was that girl again. Ryoma quickly follows her close behind, thinking it was another dream; it must be another clue to the real truth.

He follows her through the darkest night and now, finally realized where she's heading when she stopped in front of a school, HIS school, Seishun Academy School. The little girl hesitated, never the less, ran inside the school. Ryoma quickly follows. They ran through hallways and corridors, they ran upstairs, and ended up on the roof. The little girl stops so as Ryoma as they saw a dark figure. Ryoma takes a step back and watch the scene unfold.

They were talking but he can't hear them. It looks like the dark figure was getting mad as his eyes turned red; Ryoma was shocked to say the least. The little girl backed up a bit then began shouting at him. The dark figure got mad then deliberately took out a gun from his coat. The little girl then trembles in fear. The dark figure triggered the gun, the little girl scream but this time Ryoma can hear it. The little girl starts running and the dark figure chased after her.

Ryoma quickly follows behind. The chase led through multiples of hallways, corridors, and stairs. The little girl then went inside a door and found the inner stairs, she quickly ran down stairs. The attacker followed and the gun triggered. The girl screamed. Ryoma was getting scared; he didn't want to see this. He didn't.

He tries to stop running but his legs won't obey. He ran, ran, and stopped, just in time for the attacker to kill the little girl.

'No…' Ryoma thought as he try to closed his eyes, not wanting to witness the murder. Alas, his eyes disobey as well. The attacker showed his evil smile and the little girl's eyes were leaking with tears.

"NO!" Ryoma screamed and the gun went off. He couldn't turn away from the murderous scene. He just couldn't. Huge amount of blood bursts out from the little girl's body as it falls lifelessly to the ground. The attacker bowed his head and whispered to himself, "No more…my family is now safe…"

"NO! NO! NO!" Ryoma screams as he fall on his knees, hopelessly, trying to erase the gruesome image that occurred.

"Echizen! Echizen!" shouted a familiar voice but Ryoma ignores it as he kept screaming.

"NO MORE! NO MORE! NNNOOOO!!"

"ECHIZEN!"


"NO!" screamed Ryoma as he quickly sat up on his bed. He looks up and saw his senpai so worried. He felt cold even though he sweating and panting so hard.

"Echizen! It's alright!" said Taka as he rubbed the little boy's back, trying to calm him down. Ryoma slowly curls up and covered himself. Taka mentally sighed in relief. The night was once again silent and peaceful, though the atmosphere intense, at least there's no more screaming.

Taka gets up and went down the kitchen to get a glass of water for Echizen. He was glad that his father was still asleep; he always knew his father was a such a deep sleeper but not this deep. Once he got a glass of water, he quietly made his way back to his room. He saw Echizen still curled up, not moving but he can hear him breathing.

He sat next to the little freshman and puts his hand on his shoulder. Ryoma slowly looks up, spotting the glass of water, he gladly took it, and took a large sip of it. Ryoma silently thanked his senpai and put the glass of half-filled water near an empty end table. Both sat still, not moving or making noises. Taka decides to end this and asked his fellow classman a question.

"So, are you alright?"

"…I'm fine" Ryoma said tenaciously. Taka frowns, knowing it's a lie.

"Would you like to tell me your nightmare?" Taka asked, hoping the freshman won't be mad but he wasn't, he just looked down at his feet staring at nothing and then said, "no"

Taka frowns again but I guess that's how Ryoma is. He has a strong pride so you can't do anything about it.

"Well, it's still 1:35 A.M., we better get some shut eye, good night" said Taka as he smiled warmly, only making the atmosphere less tense. Ryoma nodded and laid back down to bed to drift of in deep slumber, hoping he won't have another nightmare. Taka goes to his sleeping bag and quickly falls asleep.

However, Ryoma was still awake. When finding out the real truth of her death, a thousand more questions came into his mind. Who was the attacker? Why did the attacker kill her? Why was he on his school in the middle of the night anyways?

This was too confusing, after much of thinking over the events that occurred, his mind as tired and his heavy eyelids falls. He drifts off to sleep once more…
