Hi Everyone! I am happy to be back after some years of silence.

Notes:

English is not my first language, you are probably going to find some grammar mistakes... Please Let me know if that happens.

If someone is disposed to be my beta reader I would appreciate a lot.

Anyway give a chance to this story.

I wrote the complete version in Portuguese now I am rewriting it in English.

Enjoy the First Chapter.

Chapter 1 – Dreaming about you

"Mum! Where's dad?" – The girl asked with a smile forming in her child lips. Her mother smiled back.

I don't know where she learnt to smile this way…she is always smiling like this, and her smile...seems to make everyone around feel happy.

" Come on tell me where is he?" – The girl was now tapping her feet not understanding why her mother was just standing there looking thoughtful at her and didn't answered her question.

" He is upstairs, in the attic…" – she was ready to run upstairs when heard her mother's voice again: " – Kaoru, wait!"

The girl stopped.

" Take this." – she said giving her some juice and cake " – give this to your father… when he starts working he forgets to eat."

…

" May I came in?"

" Yes." – her father's voice was always so sweet, he made her feel so comfortable. It was as if she knew he would always be there to protect her.

Kaoru opened the door and came in… that old place was the one she loved the most in that house. It was filled of old and odd things that to her, valued a lot.

" Mother told me to give you this." – she said putting the cake and juice on the table.

Looking at the food he suddenly realized how hungry he was.

" But you dind't came here only because of the food, didn't you?" – He knew her too well and right now she was hiding something.

Kaoru smiled "– I had a dream father…"

" Did you? And what was your dream about?"- he asked picking a slice of cake.

She blushed " – I don't know… I saw a face… a man's face, and he spoke to me."

" What did he say?"

"He said my name... but then he spoke in a weird language and i didn't understand a single word ..."

Strange… she never had a dream like this one before…

" – But what did he said?" – he insisted

" – I've told you! I didn't understand, it was a weird language, with weird words." – she was pissed, her father didn't believe in her.

Kamyia put a hand on her daughter's shoulders… " – Let's make a deal…Next time you dream try to understand what he says to you, ok? "

She obediently nod, even knowing that it would be impossible for her to understand those words unless the guy in the dream decides to learn a different language.

" – Tell me love, do you know him? That man who appears in your dreams?"

She shook her head negatively and blushed.

Her father noticed that: "What? Why are your cheeks turning red?"

She shook her head: He was a very handsome man. That's what made her blush, but she wouldn't say that to her father... "His hair was like fire..."

" – Why don't you play with your friends?" – he asked as he searched for one of the tools that he needed.

She didn't answered

" – Kaoru?"

Kaoru was sadly staring at the floor.

" – What's the matter, love?"

"– I don't have any friends." – She sadly said, tears forming in her eyes.

Yes, Kaoru left all her friends in Lisbon…now that they moved she didn't have any friends to play…

Monetary problems were the reason that forced them to move to Oporto. Kaoru's mother worked as designer and her father that used to be an accountant was now they were living in a very old house, which had already belonged to Kaoru's grandmother.

" What are you doing?" – Kaoru asked trying to keep her mind away from her own problems.

" I am creating a new machine…" – he replied " – a time machine…" – whispered as if he was revealing some sort of top secret information.

" Oh! Really? And what does that mean?" – She asked amused by her father's expressions

" You can travel in time, Kaoru, with this machine you can change the past and even the future…" Off course he knew that wasn't a time machine,(yet) it was just and old, broken tv, but he wanted to lift his daughter's mood.

Kaoru was amazed. She had never heard something like that before. Her father noticed her enthusiasm; he knew how she believed in his creations, like anyone else did. But he also knew that if she told her mother about this, she would became angry with him, he almost could hear his wife saying: "– Feeding her imagination with silly things… That will not help her to grow!"

So this time he warned her:" This it's going to be our secret, ok?"

The girl was so exited with her father's new creation…Travel in time… that would be very good! But what would I do if I had that chance?

That night she felt asleep exhausted of thinking about that… And along with all the thinking she had a dream...

:::

There was a strange mist inside of the attic, she heard her father's voice a few steps from her.

Dad? Where are you? – her voice was so weak, she walked forward and saw a her father's form. Kaoru ran closer to him.

" Kaoru, look what I made for you!" – he said pointing to an object that was in the floor. Her father seemed older, like he was eighty years old, and was trembling at every move.

" Father what's happening with you?" – she asked worried. Wrinkled hands, pale face... and he seemed so tired...

But he ignored her question:" – Look! It's done! I finally finished it! The time machine!" – it was like he was hallucinating

" Father! I don't care about that, I am worried about you!" – she put her hands in his arms trying to embrace him.

" Oh! My Kaoru. Don't you see? It's a gift for you, for your eighteen years! I worked so hard! There were times when i thought i would never make it, but i did!"

He stood pointing to the object, the time machine, as he called it, but he looked more as a television.

Oh God! He is not in his mind! – she thought – " But daddy! I am only six!"

When he heard her saying that his face darkened: "This means i am not going to be here till you achieve that age..."

"What...?"

From a moment to another a spark of light appeared at the machine 'screen... along with an image... a face... His Face...

She completely forgot about her father, and stared at him… Kaoru didn't knew why, but suddenly a felling of sorrow took over her…She shouted:" – Tell me, who are you? Why do you still appearing in my dreams?"

His facial expression changed. She felt that the red haired boy was about to say something. And he did, but this time he talked very slow, as if he wanted her to note his words:

" Ga inakute sabishii, Kaoru-dono"
