Ayame's P.O.V.

I rushed through corridors of building I see first time in my life, I DON'T EVEN FREAKING KNOW HOW I GOT HERE. I manage to get myself in a trap now with my back against stone wall I carefully listen to the steps of person who was chasing me, he walked slowly but even with his slowness he managed to catch up on me. Now he was standing right in front of me and I still can't see his face.

- You are still weak Ayame.

- huh?...

- you were supposed to get stronger with them but you stayed weak and that lame excuse of ninken failed in his life duty, to protect human he bond to. Spilling his blood was amusing to watch but watching yours being spilled will be better

- n...no...NO... YOU MONSTER... HOW COULD YOU KILL HIM... NO...NOOO...

I fell to the floor screaming. Within every second I sobbed louder and louder.

- enough.

His raspy voice came out as whisper. I clenched fists. Quickly standing up I charged at him but when I looked up to where his eyes are supposed to be and all I see is red flash before everything went blank.

- you are failure, Ayame

I fell face first to the cold floor of my room. I somehow managed to stumble out of my bed completely and now I'm lying on floor staring at ceiling. Cold sweat dripping from my head.

- dream. It was only bad dream. Everything is fine, everyone is fine.

I whispered to myself. Door of my room cracked open and my sister poked her head in. When she saw me lying on floor her eyebrow went up.

- Ayame, is everything okay?

- yeah, I just had bad dream. Where is Akirama?

- he is down with mother and Kuromaru. He came down and told us that he is worried about you cause you were sobbing and mumbling in your sleep. Will you tell me what was dream about?

I shook my head fear washing over me as I remembered his cold voice when he told me that he killed Akirama. Hana was about to leave when I stopped her.

- Elder Sister...

- yes Ayame.

- could you tell Akirama to come here?

- sure.

The moment she left I stood up and rushed into bathroom to get quick shower and get my hygiene done. After five minutes I was standing in front of mirror in my everyday kunoichi outfit brushing my hair. When I was done I got in my room and saw Akirama sprawled on my bed chewing one of his numerous toys. I walk up to him and hug him tight which results with surprised ninken burying his nose in my hair sniffing it.

-that dream must frighten you a lot when you're hugging me like this.

- person in my dream told me they killed you.

Now I was really crying. My clenched fists were full of his white fur. I won't let go of him. He is my best friend, my partner, part of my life and if he dies one part of me will to.

- shhh, Ayame, you know very well that I won't leave your side. I promised that to you on same day that I meet you back in forest almost 11 years ago.

- Really?

- Yes really. I'm only sad because you can't remember that you were to small.

- Hahah... okay that helped me feel better so want to go out.

I smiled at ninken as he happy jumped off of my bed and headed out, Akirama act so childish but he is few months older than Akamaru and is more than half of Kuromaru height, and Kuromaru is pretty massive and Akirama is still pup so I can only imagine how massive will he be.I really want to go somewhere but first I need to get some breakfast and report to mom that me and Akirama are heading out.
