Warning: Bad grammar (English isn't my native language, anyway), many head-canons, a OOC's possibility, some of AU!situations (for the next chapter), canon-modified

Note: College really makes me busy everyday. Assignment and test comes one and another. I'm really sorry for this very late update. Letter D really makes me feel frustrating. Letter D that came up to my mind has negative meaning, such as Death, Dead, Die, Despair, Desperate, Depression and others. Thanks to Lost Time Memory's lyric who gave me this idea. XD I used canon-modified setting on the third novel. XD Really sorry for bad grammar and mistypos. Enjoy! XD

04: Dream

He was sitting on the sofa that he used to sleep before. It was almost 2 a.m, but his eyes still couldn't close. It wasn't mean that he didn't want or wasn't able to sleep again.

Kisaragi Shintaro was just scared.

His face told anyone who looked at him that he was scared. Really scared. It wasn't like when he rode roller-coaster with the gang named Mekakushi Dan or when he came in to Obake House with Kido a few hours ago. It was more complicated and terrified. And his nightmare that he had a while ago was the reason why was he scare. Plus Kano who has made it worse.

That girl came into his brain once again. Her shoulder-length black hair. Her red scarf that always she wore on her neck at the past. Immediately, her figure became clearer and clearer on his mind. The figure who he almost forgot completely on his brain and mind. The figure who always followed him on the past. The figure who was smiling with an unchanging smile.

"Then, why, didn't you save me?!"

His face became scared as Kano's word (when he deceived himself as her figure) reverberated on his head. That guilty, that regret, came back to his body. His mind became confused and he couldn't think clearly. His genius brain even didn't had any idea such as how could Kano know her. His mind has covered by her completely.

Why ... Why does she come again? Is it punishment or ... revenge? He thought with fear. His fear made him chose to be awakened. But, it wasn't easy. His body shouted him to take a break, but his mind forced him to be awakened or he would end up with getting a nightmare again. Exhausted and terrified; he couldn't choose both of them.

Eventually, his body collapsed on the sofa because his tired and his fear stole all of his consciousness. And Shintaro got a dream on his sleep again.

"Shintaro," her figure appeared with a smile.

"..."

"Ah, you don't want to talk with me, yeah?" she said with a soft and a bit sad face. "But, I want to say something to you, Shintaro,"

"You want to say "goodbye" to me again?" he said, then. His fear that he suffered a few hours ago seemed has lost at the moment. "Or ... you want to blame me?" he added.

Her face changed into surprised face and as if said, "Why do you say that?".

"Ah, or you want me to call your name again?" that guy said again with a despair face. Her face still didn't changed.

"Okay. If that all is what you want to say, say it," he said again with a guilty face. "Blame me as you please. And I'm sorry for forgetting your name,"

That girl being silence. Her 'Why do you say that?'s face still on her face, unchangingly. She seemed couldn't replied his words. But, for a few minutes, a smile marked on her face.

"I don't have any mean to say it," she said and made him surprised a bit. "I just wanna say ..." that girl hanged her words. And she smiled brightly as she said, "We'll surely meet again,"

And Shintaro didn't believe his hearing when he heard the sentence that came out from that girl's mouth. Is she joking? She has died, right?

"Someday, somewhere, we'll surely be able to meet again. I'm sure," she added again.

"But, how—" his sentence cut when he saw her figure blurred and became far slowly. "Hey! Don't go! Hey! Ayano! Tell me! Hey! Ayano!" he tried to chase after her while calling her name. Yeah, finally, he called her name. But, her figure disappeared totally.

"Ayano!"

"... ter.."

"...ster..."

"Master..."

A blurred display with a blue-haired girl and a white-haired guy who grabbed the handphone display appeared on his sight. His eyes half-closed. He was still unconscious.

"A.. ya.. no.."

The blue-haired girl named Ene blinked her eyes for a second, while the white-haired guy named Konoha just being silence. Ene knew that name. It was her friend's name when she once being a human. And as she knew, that girl has died since two years ago. But as she knew too, her master has never said that name again. She knew if that would hurt him again. And, now, why did her master say that name again? Did he had a dream about her?

"Ah—Master!" she shouted as her master was conscious.

Shintaro blinked his eyes and looked at his handphone display. "Ah, Ene, and you..." he pointed at the white-haired guy. "... Konoha. Um, what's matter?"

"Master said "ugh" for many times on your sleep, and that was made me woke up and asked this guy to brought me and see you," Ene explained. Shintaro looked at Konoha, then.

"She ... woke me ... up ... actually...," he said slowly. Shintaro knew if that guy seemed like a child who was learning speaking.

"So, do you have a nightmare, Master?" Ene asked.

Shintaro turned his sight to the floor. "Yes, a nightmare. A terrible nightmare," he said.

"Could it be..." Ene hanged her sentence. Two guys there looked at her and waited her to continue her words. "Could it be Master dreamed about ... Master rode the roller-coaster alone and that roller-coaster didn't stop and then make you shouted endlessly!" she said with a funny smile. "Master, I want to dream it too, hahahaha!"

"Shut up, you Ene! Don't make me remember that terrified thing again. I don't want to ride it again," Shintaro shouted with a scared face. That roller-coaster was really making him and Kido so frightened yesterday.

"Hahahaha when you slept, your face was same as when you rode that roller-coaster hahaha! Want to see it, Master? Hahahaha!" Ene laughed uncontrolable.

"No! Delete it!" Shintaro shouted. "And don't you send it to Momo!" his voice and face was really frustrated. Ene still laughed out loud. She wanted to cheer her master up. She said in order to make him like usual because she was scared if he became gloomy after had that nightmare about Ayano. Meanwhile, Konoha just stared at them. He didn't know how to respond them. He just met them yesterday after the accident that involved him and a brown-haired boy who was sleeping in other side—Hibiya.

"Ah, Master, you should forget your nightmare and sleep again. It is 02.15 now! The sun hasn't rise yet, and you won't have any energy if you don't sleep enough," Ene said while preparing her blanket as if she wanted to sleep as well. "And you too! You have to sleep, Nisemono-san!" Ene pointed at Konoha—who made him a bit surprised.

"... okay..." he replied.

"Okay! Nisemono-san, put me on the table. Good night, Master, Nisemono-san!" she shouted while wrapping her pixel body with her blanket.

"Good ... night..." Konoha replied without protested at Ene for called him so. He then put Shintaro's handphone on the table and back to the sofa that he used to sleep before. Shintaro, who still sat on the sofa, remembered that girl's sentence on his dream.

"We'll surely meet again!"

"Yeah. We'll surely meet again, Ayano." And he smiled.
