Who says you can't change everything with your dreams?

18 chapter

"It's been a little over a week since I made up with Mikey and since Emma's birthday. Badji recently stepped down as captain and handed it over to Takemuchi. Good choice, if you ask me, but like I said, I don't go to meetings while that bastard is in Swastons. I've known for a long time that Hanagaki can move into the future, but he doesn't know that I dream about different events and certain circumstances of deaths. Well, he doesn't have to. I wonder how Koko, Inui and Akane are doing. Fuck, why did I think of that day just now," Dima thought back to when he met the three of them.

Dima walks along the night road, dressed in all black as usual. You can't see his face from behind his hood and cap, only his scarlet eyes.

Walking down the street Dima noticed a fire and smelled smoke. There were voices, there had to be a girl.

But then Dima remembered a dream he had had long ago, but he remembered it, and for good reason. There was a guy and a girl. The guy would survive, but the girl would not.

So Dima decided to save the girl, no matter what it cost him. After all, then things would be bad in the future, and he understood that.

So Red ran for the burning house across the rooftops. Jumping into the house through the window, he started looking for the room where the girl was.

As he ran into the room, he saw the girl lying unconscious on the floor. Dima ran up, quickly checked her pulse and, making sure she was alive, took her in his arms. He started to run out of the building, but he was blocked by fire and fire bars that had fallen on the stairs below.

It was the second floor, so Dima decided to jump. As he ran to the window, he saw a crowd, firemen, an ambulance, and the two boys from the dream.

Holding the girl against him, he ducked and landed on his feet, but he felt a burning pain in them, not paying attention, he ran towards the ambulance, which immediately spotted him. Dima gave the girl to the doctors and ran away from the scene.

Once home, Red treated the small wounds and burns, then went to bed. But for two weeks afterward his legs were sore, very sore.

That same day he dreamed that the girl would be alive and would soon be on the mend.

"I know Akane and those two from the dream, and I also learned the names and all the other information, but after I saved her, I tried not to cross paths with them. I wonder if Koko and Inui are in the Black Dragons. By the way, there's supposed to be a battle in the church soon according to Kisaki's plan, but the plan is going to go fucked up, thanks to me. In the meantime, I'll spend my time as I please. With my friends and myself, but... I've never dreamt of dying. I wonder if I die, how sad would everyone be? И... how would I even die? Do I... even want to die? Nah, what a stupid thought. I wonder what would have happened if Hina had chosen Kisaki instead of Takemuchi, how would things have worked out? Kisaki may be a bastard, but... he lacked love, so he wants to be a top to get Hina's attention. All he has to do is explain that he needs to find someone who will love him, not demand the attention of someone whose heart is already taken. Too bad Kisaki doesn't understand that," thought Dima as he walked down the dark alleyway home.

-December 25, 2005-

"It's snowing... When it snows, I remember how I met Izana. It was a funny meeting," thought Dima as he walked to church.

He was dressed in a black warm jacket with a red scarf, black gloves, pants, boots, and a hospital mask.

The red scarf was given to him by Shinichiro, so Dima wears it with pleasure. In general, Dima likes red and black colors the most, all Swastons and his friends know that.

Red knows that no one is going to die, but he goes to church at a brisk pace. He calls Mikey and warns him about the battle at the church. Mikey says he will be there soon.

When he arrives at the church, he sees a pile of unconscious bodies outside and Ken sitting on the steps of the stairs.

- Kenchik, hey! Did you come with Mikey? - Dima asked, shouting out a question.

- Hey Red, yeah, I came with Mikey. He's about to deal with a problem you warned him about," Ken said with a slight smile.

Dima, meanwhile, walked over to Doracen and sat down next to him.

- Did you have fun? - Dima asked.

- Huh? Yeah, it was fun," Ken answered.

There was a creaking sound of doors opening from behind. Dima turned and saw Koko, who was shocked to see the battered crowd. But when he turned to see Dima and Ken, his eyes widened.

- It was you... - said Koko, looking straight into Red's eyes.

- No, it was him. I just got here.

- That's not what I meant...

- Hey! Koko! What are you doing up there? Where are the soldiers? Hurry up! - a voice came from the church.

- Kid, you lost," Red said in a calm voice.

- What?" came the same voice from the church again, and Taijiu ran out of the church and fell to his knees when he saw the battered crowd.

- What's happened here?

- Oh, have you got a curtain yet? You can tell Mikey I'm done," Ken said.

But Taijiu shifted his gaze to Red.

- I just got here. That's all him," Dimitri said and pointed a finger at Doracen.

Taijiu lost the will to fight, bowing his head down. Red and Ken got up and walked into the church.

- M, what are you guys up to?

- Hi, everyone!" Dima said, greeting everyone as usual.

- Hey, Red. Just in time you called, just as we were riding the bikes! - Badji shouted out.

- Doraken... Red... - uttered a battered Mitsuya.

- Outside, all the Black Dragons decided to lay in the snow, and Shiba Taijiu didn't want to fight," Ken Maiki said.

- Great! The black dragons are dead! Victory to the Swastons! - Mikey said, and everyone walked out of the church, starting to look at the dragons.

The guys started cheering and talking, Mikey walked up behind a slightly smiling Red and put his arm around his waist, tugging on his shoulder.

- How did you know about that? - Mikey asked Dima in a whisper.

- Just a hunch and my research," Red said in the same whisper, smiling at Mikey.

- I see. Red, do you mind going to Christmas on the thirty-first together? - Mikey asked in a whisper.

- No, I don't mind, we can go," said Dima, while Mikey kept his arm around him, resting on his shoulder.
