I had another dream that night only this time I was standing before a fiery pit. I looked down hot wind and smoke stinging my face.

This time the voice was coming from beyond the fire, "I'm almost free. I've almost broken the...coming...because.."

Still just as ominous as ever but I couldn't recongnize the voice all I knew was that I was in terrible danger. I got a glimpse of dark brown hair on the other side and suddenlt I felt sick to my stomach.

I woke with a jolt, gently sitting up in my bed. Yuzu was still asleep in her bed across the room. I pushed myself out of the bed looking out the window as I did.

Normally I would be comforted by the moon but this time I felt it would swallow me whole. The alarm clock on my bedside table said it was two in the morning.

I tried to lay back down and fall asleep but I couldn't. I sighed siiting up wondering what I was going to do.

Then I remembered Toushirou's embrace and started wondering. I was sure my blushing face was lighting the room as I sttod from my bed and started walking to the door.

Gently opening it I took a step out looking down the hallway for any source of activity. I didn't find one so I started to take another step.

"Karin-chan? Where are you going?" Yuzu's soft voice was right behind me.

I snapped turning around trying to hide any suspicious movement I could've had, "I had a nightmare so I was going to go get some water."

I hated lying to her but there was no way in hell that I was going to tell her what I was really doing.

"Oh well I thought you were going to sneak out of the house or something with the way you were acting."

Close Yuzu but not exactly, "I'll be right back try to go back to sleep."

"Ok." and she walked back to her bed to lay down

I turned back around headed for the stairs. I guess my plan would just have to wait until next time.

I sighed, "So much for falling asleep again...stupid ominous nightmares."

So yeah short chapter but it's just some fluff that I added in to get the seriousness and playfulness in balance. If you can figure out what she was going to do I might just write a chapter with a length of your choosing. R&R Have a good night!
