Kyoko Dream (pov)

I hit the floor when the rope is cut. "Now that's more like it darling. I wish you luck on your little mission," the suit man says. He walks out of the room when two more men walk in with fresh clothes and make up. They drag me past women chained to the wall into a room.

The room was small. It only had a vanity and a toilet. They drop me on the floor then plop the stuff next to me. 'I'm here, again.' I stand and get to work.

After I finish I don' recognize myself. My fourteen year old body looks like a woman's. The tight red dress I'm wearing hugs me in all the right places, which I hate. The make up covers all the bruises. My long black hair is up in a styled pony tail. 'I look so much older… I can't believe I'm doing this.' I turn from the mirror and grab the matching high heels and knock on the door.

The door opens and I am escorted to out into the night. Once I get outside I turn to see the mansion. A taxi is waiting for me in the private driveway. I get into it and we head out. The driver turns to me and says, "So I am assuming you know the plan but I am going to refresh you. Once you are in the club chose a girl or two. Get them as drunk as you can. Once she or they are ready to leave make sure they get in this taxi. You follow them in here too. You got that?" I simply nod.

The taxi pulls up to the club. My insides want to be my outsides. 'I don't know if I can do this. Not again.' But I don't have a choice. I get out and walk into the club. Music blares with people everywhere. I automatically see men clad in suits watching me, making sure I get the job done. After looking around I see flashy girl at the bar taking shots. 'I am so sorry.'

I start to walk towards her when a new song comes on. Sliding onto the seat next to her I say, "How about another one? On me." I say with a wink. She turns to me and says, "Why thank you! But I'm sorry to say you're not exactly my type." I only smile and reply, "Don't worry, just trying to make friends and drink away problems. So what about you? What does that drink for you?" She takes the shot and replies, "Get's me hot guy." 'Ugh. Does she have any pride?' I only smile and turn to the bartender and say, "Keep them coming. We wanna party tonight!" I let out a laugh as I take the disgusting shot.

After a couple more she obviously is tipsy. 'This is it…' "How about we get you a cab?," I suggest. She nods and tries to walk but tips. I put my arms around her and guide her out front. The taxi is waiting for us when we get out. I open the door and gently push her in. After getting in after her I hear the soft 'click' of the locks on the door.

Ren (pov)

"Ren."

I instantly snap back into reality. Look up I see golden eyes staring at me. "Ren?" she asks. Instantly I reply with a frantic, "Yes Kyoko! It's me. I'm here. You're ok now. I promise you're safe." She squeezes the hand that's holding mine. "Please stop crying Ren, it's alright. Like you said, I'm ok now," she says while she gives a half smile. 'How can she think about me right now? After what happened? But… she wouldn't be Kyoko if she wasn't like this… Kyoko...' I let a few more tears fall while stroking her hand. Suddenly panic rises in her eyes, "Maria! Is Maria alright?!" I laugh a little at this and answer, "She's perfectly fine. Thanks to you." She relaxes and continues to squeeze my hand.

After a few silent moments the nurse comes and says while checking the moniter, "Welcome back Miss Magomi-san! You are one fighter. The doctor will be in a bit since you are awake." She walks out the door just as an old couple come in. "Oh, Kyoko! You're ok! We were so worried about you," Taisho's wife says (couldn't fine her name). She comes up to Kyoko's other side. "I knew you would be ok. You don't back down very easily," Taisho says keeping his distance. "So, do you need anything Kyoko? Like clothes or anything you need from your room?" the wife asks. Kyoko just shakes her head no and replies with a strand voice, "I don't need anything now thank you. But I will need a change of clothes when I get out of this place."

The wife nods and says, "Ok, next time we come we will bring a pair of clothes. Well we will leave you for now." She starts to leave turns back around, "Oh ya! I forgot to tell you! A man wearing a suit popped by asking about which hospital you were at. Said he was a friend and wanted to make sure you were ok. I told him you were here and gave him the visiting hours. Well, bye." They both leave and shut the door behind them.

I turn to her and ask, "Do you know who they were talking about?" She just looks down as if ashamed and after a couple of moments she replies, "I do… I will explain wants he gets here. There has been many things I haven't told you about my… my past. I just need some time to think of how to explain it to everyone." She still looks down and I ask, "Does it… Have anything to do about a couple nights ago? Did he hurt you?" 'I swear if he hurt her…' She looks up and quickly says, "No it's not like that! That man saved me back then… He's my best friend. Well, besides Moko-san." I nod.

After a few moments of looking into each other's eyes I say, "You must be tired. You should sleep." A flash a fear and resistance passes through her eyes, "No,no. I'm fine. Completely fine. I'm not tired. Promise." I raise my eyebrow then say, "Kyoko. What's wrong." She looks down as if ashamed. After a few minutes she looks back up and speaks, "I um. I have um. I have night… I have nightmares. Of the past, I mean. Just of stuff I don't want to remember…" I look down at her. I wonder how long… That's why she must have screamed in the apartment. Dreams that frighten her so much that she physically screams? God. Whatever happened….

Before I think I am stand up and gently ducking under the wires and tubes attached to Kyoko. She looks startled as I pick her up gently. Not lifting her that much I slide onto the bed with her half on me. She while looking up at me questionably I wrap my long arms around her. She tenses at first then she relaxes. Resting her head on my chest she sighs. Then after a couple minutes she asks, "Why?" I look down at her blushing face. "Because when I held you that one night no nightmares came right?" I ask. She nods and closes her eyes.

I'm not gonna lie, I did kinda selfishly did this. Not all of it was because of the nightmares, but most of it was. I just… kinda used them to my advantage. Being able to hold her like this reassures me she is ok. She's still here with me and not dead. I hold her tight as I too drift off to sleep.
