"(Y/N), are you all right?" your mother asked.

You stood in place as you saw your mother looking at you with worry in her eyes. "Mother!" you dashed towards her and engulfed her in a hug as you cried.

Your mother hugged you tighter as you continued to cry. "I'm so sorry!" you choked out as tears fell from your face.



"To die in a sweet dream.... what a wonderful thing. Just destroy the spiritual core and everything is done. The human heart is the same no matter who it is."



"Really? Nee-san cried? What happened, Mother?" Akira asked as she helped Kai fold the clothes. "It's nothing to worry about. I'm fine now." you said.

You felt your mother's hand holding your face as you turn to look at her. "Do you have a fever? No, that can't be, it's cold outside. You should take a rest, you must be tired from running errands in the village." your mother said.

"It's okay, Mother. I'm all right." you reassured. "Nee-san! Let's get some firewood later! I'm coming with you because this is a man's work!" Kai exclaimed. "Are you sure you're already a man, Kai?" Akira asked as she jumped on Kai's back, making him fall to the floor. "How can you be a man if you can't even carry me without falling down?" Akira teased.

"Get off! That's because you're heavy!" Kai remarked as Akira let out a gasp. "I'm not heavy! Nee-san can carry me with ease! See!" Akira said as she ran towards you to which you picked her up. "You're just weak, Kai. Nee-san can carry me and you can't." Akira said as she stuck out her tongue towards Kai.

"It's all right, Kai. You're still growing, you will be able to get strong one day." your mother exclaimed as all of you laughed at Kai's pouting expression.

"So that's the master of the body. Now I just have to find the spiritual core and I can finally have a happy dream." A boy told himself as he began to search around the area.

"Kai, Akira. Do you two know where Douma-kun is?" you asked your siblings.

"Hai! He went out to do his cult duties! He said he'll be back later!" Akira happily answered as you stood shocked. "But it's daytime! He'll get hurt!" you exclaimed. Kai and Akira had a look of confusion. "But Douma-nii always go to the temple to do his work. Is that not okay?" Kai replied.

'Strange.... why am I saying this?' you thought as your siblings looked at you in concern. "I'll be in my room to rest, I think I'm really tired and I'm making up nonsense." you said as your siblings nodded. "We'll wake you up when it's time for dinner, Nee-san." Kai stated as you went to your room.

You opened the door to your room and saw a box in the center. You rubbed your eyes and saw the box was nowhere in sight. 'It disappeared? What's going on?' you thought as you went to the small mirror in your room. 'I don't feel sick, maybe I'm just really tired.' you thought as you looked at your reflection.

"WAKE UP!"

Your eyes widened as you saw your reflection banging on the glass mirror. Your reflection looks different, she was wearing a uniform and a sword was attached to her side.

"WAKE UP! EVERYONE IS IN TROUBLE! IT'S A DREAM, THIS IS JUST A DREAM! YOU HAVE TO WAKE UP!"

Your reflection yelled as your eyes widened in realization. 'I should be on the train with Rengoku-san and the others!' you thought.
