Chapter 39 - Nightmare

A/N: I might as well use this motivation to write since im in the mood this week.

Dream POV

"W-Where am I...?" Arifu suddenly found himself standing in a dark void, literally nothing could be seen except himself,

"Remember...." A voice called out,

Arifu looked around him to be met with only darkness as the voice continues to speak,

"Remember your purpose..." The voice spoke again,

"What purpose...? What are you talking about?!" Arifu frantically looked around but was still met with nothing,

"Let me show you, then..."

The surroundings started to change as Arifu found himself in a familiar kitchen,

"This is!-" Arifu was cut off as he heard a familiar voice,

"Get back! Honey, stay behind me!" Arifu is currently standing in his own home from all those years ago,

"N-No..." His eyes widen in horror at the display in front of him,

Akaza had pierced through his father's stomach as blood dripped from his mouth,

"Honey, no!" Only the voice of Arifu's mother was heard before the surroundings started to change again,

What he saw next shook Arifu the most...

"G-Gojo-sensei...?" In front of him, was Gojo himself with his back turned.

He wore unfamiliar clothes but it was him without a doubt,

"Sensei?" Arifu reached out to touch Gojo's shoulder...

Gojo immediately turned around and dashed at him with his sword in hand,

"S-Sensei...?!" Arifu barely managed to leap backwards but Gojo was already in front of him,

Arifu couldn't get a good look at his face before but he noticed that his sensei looks different...

His hair bore almost no difference and his skin looked pale, but the most mind-blowing thing was his eyes...

'U-Upper Zero...'

Suddenly, Gojo stopped with his blade just an inch away from Arifu's neck,

"Arifu-sama!"

"Arifu-kun!!"

"Arifu!!!"

"No..." Arifu turned behind him to see all of his girlfriends,

"RUN AWAY!!!" But it was too late, Gojo jumped above Arifu and made his way to his girlfriends,

"STOPPPPP!!!!!!!" His vocal chords were about to explode as he watched his own master slaughter all of his girlfriends without mercy,

Their screams of agony echoed throughout Arifu's head as he broke down,

"P-Please... Stop this..." Arifu sobbed as he brought his legs together,

"I-I can't... take this anymore..."

"Have you remembered your purpose?" Those were the last words Arifu heard before waking up to reality.

3rd Person View

Arifu suddenly woke up with his bed as well as himself drenched in sweat and breathing heavily as if he was struggling to breathe.

He just stared up at the ceiling before the memories of his nightmare came rushing in.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door...

"C-Come in..." Arifu said, still shook.

"Arifu-sama, here's your breakf-!" Kumi dropped the tray and hurriedly went over to Arifu after seeing him in a state which she had never seen before.

"Arifu-sama! What happened?! You're all drenched in sweat! You're even crying!" He just realised that tears were still flowing down his cheeks,

"I-I'm fine... Thank you for worrying, Kumi-chan. It was... Just a bad dream," Arifu said with a weak voice as he patted her head,

He decided to not share the nightmare. Instead, he was more determined, focused and resolved. 'I will never let any harm come to them, not on my watch!' Arifu convinced himself in his mind.

=====

Ever since that day, Arifu had been training non-stop, trying to perfect the Dark Sun Breathing technique.

He had improved drastically, even though he hadn't quite perfected it.

Everytime he trains, he imagines the faces of his girlfriends, family, and finally, Gojo-sensei.

He will kill that man, if it's the last thing he'll ever do to achieve the life he desired.

Kibutsuji Muzan will die by his blade.

A/N: Another short chapter. But don't worry, I will continue to write as long as my "writing mood" doesn't go away.

Also, thank you so much, NotAuthorSSS  for the idea. I appreciate it a lot.
