No... No...! You can't! Izuna you can't leave me! I love you! Please! No! NO!
I was shaken awake as someone called my name. I woke in cold sweat. As my vision cleared I saw it was Misako who had woken me. I felt my Ninken press their bodies close to me; ensuring me that everything was alright. I panted as I sat up.
"Are you alright?" There was so much concern in Misako's eyes it was hard for me to believe we had once tried to kill each other. On multiple occasions...
"Yeah... It was only a dream..." I said trying to calm myself. "I'm... I'm gonna take a walk... To clear my head..." I whistled for Akiha to follow as I walked into the trees leaving Misako with Ryouta and Koyuki.
"Toka, hun, you know your dreams are rarely just dreams." Akiha said, padding at my side.
"I know... But to think..." I felt a tear slide down my cheek. "For a second that the dream could be true..." I shook my head. "No. It was only a dream..." I said as I walked back to camp.
Misako's straight hair hung in her face like it always did. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine now let's pack up and get moving." I said rolling up my sleeping bag.
Misako looked at me and shook her head as she packed up her stuff.
At the next town my eyes wandered to a bar. "I'm... Gonna get a drink..." I said.
One drink turned into two. Then three. Then four. A whole bottle. And then another bottle. The next thing I knew I was being pulled out of th e bar by Misako and my Ninken.
I was dragged into an inn still drunk as all Hell. I heard the woman at the front desk say something about no dogs but then her voice got all weird and said "Enjoy your stay."
I flung myself on a bed once we got to the room and after that I guess I fell into another fitful sleep.
I saw a girl about standing there in the darkness. But a gold and green glow emitted from her. She had golden blond hair, and caramel eyes that were so sad. She wore robes of green and gold and a strange hat that said 'Ki' on it in Kanji. Who was this girl? She looked like she could be Senju...
"The time of the Villages are coming..." She said said in a neutral voice that did not match her eyes. "The Five Great Villages will be of Fire, Water, Earth, Wind and Lightning. The Quintuplets shall feud three times before they are joined by their little sister. She is of Energy, she is born only a matter of months before the war but is the strongest of the Six. The Fourth Feud will not be between the Six Siblings but against a jealous other, one that always cries from a red cloud and feels great sorrow. That war will be the last Great Feud between the Six Siblings for two millennium. It could be the last Feud for there will be no survivors or... The Brother of Fire, The Sister of Water, The Brother of Earth, Sister of Wind, and The Brother of Lightning have the Keystone to their family. The Little Sister will keep the balance between them. But there are enemies that they know not exist..."
The light around her became blinding as the green and gold light claimed my visionI woke up with worst headache of my life.
I dreamt of my Love's death. Then lied to my friend. Got drunk for the first, and certainly not the last, time in my life. I had the strangest dream that foretold of great pain and eventually joy. But with an ominous foreboding that could not be foreseen clearly...
