Welcome to chapter four of The dream which only thing I have to say this time is I hope you readers are actually enjoying this as much as I am, and warning: there is a bit of spoiler ahead and a bit of thoughts of suicide later in the chapter and now I'll let you get to the actual chapter.

Ruruka continues to hug Izayoi tightly to show how much she doesn't want to let go while Izayoi smiles before he starts to let go of her. "What's wrong?" Ruruka asks"nothing, we just have things to worry about more than wanting to be close like how your exam is only maybe three days away." Izayoi explains as she looks at him a little upset but nods before putting a piece of candy into his mouth making him smile again.

"You're right, but these dreams are really messing with what I think is reality." Ruruka says "you want to explawhat you mean by that?" Izayoi asks "yeah I mean I just met someone that I saw from my dream, he's the head of the security here." Ruruka answers "you mean Juuzo Sakakura?" Izayoi asks "yeah, and also in my dream he was killed by some white haired business man looking guy and also recently when I look at you I can't stop feeling guilty and I can imagine you from my dream as you died." Ruruka explains as she starts to feel her face getting a little wet to reveal that she's crying making Izayoi worried.

"It's ok Ruruka we'll get through this together." Izayoi says as he wipes her tears away trying to keep her happy and not upset. "You don't understand Izayoi these dreams feel so real, it's as if they did happen yet they haven't and it makes me scared about our future." Ruruka explains "then help me understand so I can help you." Izayoi says as he grabs her right hand trying to tell her that everything will be fine making her smile weakly at him to show she's still a little bit upset.

Ruruka goes to get back to work but Izayoi stops her making her look at him confused about why he was stopping her. "You seem stressed Ruruka, you can't make perfect candy if you're under pressure." Izayoi says "so what do you want me to do?" Ruruka asks "go outside and try to relax talk to some people if you have to just don't continue until your mind is more clearer than it is right now." Izayoi explains before she nods while walking out of the building with Izayoi following close behind her.

Ruruka just keeps walking until she bumps into someone making her step back as Izayoi pulls out a knife to reveal that Ruruka bumped into Mikan which backs up scared of the knife. "I'm so sorry!" Mikan apologizes "Izayoi put the knife away, I'm fine." Ruruka softly says making Izayoi reluctantly put the knife away hoping that Ruruka is right about this. "So who are you?" Izayoi asks "I'm M-Mikan T-Tsumiki, the ultimate n-nurse." Mikan says clearly scared of the ultimate blacksmith which starts thinking of what Seiko said earlier.

"Hey, um Mikan in case if I have to talk to you, I need to make sure that you're around here often so I don't have to wast my time searching for you." Izayoi explains making Mikan blush since she gets the wrong idea so Ruruka takes a step towards the nurse before Izayoi puts a hand in front of her, stopping Ruruka. "Ok, well it was n-nice meeting you two." Mikan says before walking away as Ruruka turns to face Izayoi with a smile before slipping a piece of candy into his mouth making Izayoi smile.

Later that day, Izayoi enters Ruruka's bedroom as he puts his knife on a nightstand next to the bed as he takes off his jacket befire Ruruka enters the room and just collapses onto the bed asleep so he lays next to her with a arm around Ruruka's waist as he closes his eyes.

Ruruka finds herself back in the hall but now awake as the monitor nearby as she sees a familiar black and white bear appear on the screen. "Come on out attacker, oh there you are i know what you're thinking, wait I'm not the attacker, I won't hurt anybody, well you are and you will." Monokuma explains before Ruruka finds herself in a weird looking place as she starts to tremble in fear before she sees Izayoi appear in front of her.

I'm sorry I didn't want to kill you." Ruruka apologizes as Izayoi looks at her blankly and emotionlessly making her fall to her knees crying. "You should just join me, and kill yourself." Izayoi commands as half of his face becomes a dark purple as he starts to look like what he looked like when he died. "of course I will." Ruruka says as she looks at Izayoi now feeling full Despair for killing him as she smiles a bit before everything starts to go back to normal.

Ruruka sees the knife drop from the monitor so she picks it up and goes to stab herself in the stomach before a hand stops her making Ruruka look up to see Izayoi standing in front of her. "Wait how are you alive?" Ruruka asks "calm down Ruruka everything will be fine." Izayoi answers "you just need to wake up." Izayoi adds making Ruruka look at him more confused than ever as he holds the knife tightly trying not to let Ruruka kill herself as she closes her eyes.

Ruruka wakes up with Izayoi calmly on top of her to reveal Izayoi's knife in her hand close to her stomach as he's trying to take it from her gently as she lets go of the knife now scared on what just happened. "What's going on Izayoi and why am I holding this?" Ruruka asks "I'll start from the beginning just let me put this away." Izayoi answers before putting the knife in his jacket's pocket while getting off of Ruruka carefully trying not to hurt her.

(Flashback)

Izayoi opens his eyes to see Ruruka leaning over him grabbing the knife off of the nightstand while screaming and laying back down forcing him to sit up. "Calm down Ruruka everything will be fine, you just need to wake up." Izayoi says while getting on top of her and grabbing the knife by the handle as tears start to drop from his face to show how worried he is for Ruruka.

(End of flashback)

Ruruka is now sitting up whole hugging Izayoi for comfort as he holds her tightly not wanting to let her go because of what happened and how scared it made him. "Izayoi what should we do about this?" Ruruka asks "give me time to figure things about just please try keeping yourself safe from killing yourself again." Izayoi answers as he holds her tighter trying not to hurt Ruruka which nods before kissing him to show how thankful she is that he's trying to help her.

And that's the end of chapter four and I am sorry if I didn't get Monokuma's quote down word by word but I was trying my best and like usual I'll see you in the next chapter.
