"pops.....pops wake up...pops" I whispered lightly shaking his form, he let out a beastly growl and glared up at me but soon softened realizing it was me "what are you doing up so early dew drop? Your next training doesn't start till tomorrow" he groaned sitting up, I hopped on the king size bed and crawled to him "last night you promised you would spin more time with me" I reminded him. He hummed and got up from bed "alright let me get ready first" I left the room, went down the hall, and sat next to the door to his room. About fifteen minutes later he came out of the room out of his armor and into a Nashira uniform wearing a pure white Okamoto with gold streaks on it, I got up and followed him down the hall "where do you think we should go?".

He asked as his voice slightly echoed through the halls "I wanna try that place where you fight for your food, sounds cool right?" I mean the place does sound and look cool I mean come on who wouldn't wanna go inside, you get to knock somebody out with no charges and DONT get to go to jail. "isn't that a little...road kills?" pops doesn't fight unless it's necessary he can fight dirty when he feels like it. One time he took a thug's hand in a hand-to-hand fight by using just his claws, to this day he still has the hand "it ain't that bad, just throwing punches and chairs" I shrugged knowing more than punches would be thrown, we exited the palace and began searching for what to do today until we stopped at a cafe for breakfast, we went inside to be greeted by a small pig and led us to a booth. Me and pops sat close to the window "you think they got anything spicy?" pops turned to me with a brow raised "in the morning?" he questioned

"What Who said you can't have spicy stuff in the morning?" I huffed knowing he won't let me get anything spicy, he says it ruins the stomach "I'm not saying you can't but...you can't cause it ruins the stomach and when it ruins the stomach, you won't have much of an appetite" I rolled my eyes and just decided to order some tea, baozi, and a side of mochi. and all pops ordered was Congee and a side of mantou "one of the sargents came to me the other night and told me you had a nightmare. Have you had any more of those?" it wasn't a shock that he knew since every guard that passes or enters my room informs my father what I'm doing every twelve hours, totally normal. "no, recently I haven't been dreaming and when I do there all the same ones but they end differently" it was sort of hard to explain but I managed, pops was a little concerned by the look on his face "it could be nothing possible due to a late sleep" he guessed and took a sip of his green tea that came with his order.

I know that his assumption wasn't the case for my dream but hey it's probably nothing serious, I just need to find out why I'm getting this dream. After finishing our food we left the cafe and decided to go to our favorite spot in Neo Edo where the cherry blossoms trees grow. we call it Spiunknd, Woodlands of the Spirits, it's a hidden spot where no one goes anymore since it's full of spirits roaming around. Sometimes it makes me feel a little weird going in but for grandfather, it was much different, I would often see his facial expression change to normal into a scowl when we visit there once a year. But first, we had to go to the store to buy a few specialties before we go. We entered a few markets and started searching but one of the markets caught my eye, it was a small but simple market that smelt of pines and sold all kinds of candles.

I went over to the small market and looked at each candle admiring their scent, I took one and took a sniff. It smelt of Caramel and a soft vivid smell of sea salt, I was interrupted by something rubbing against my leg. I look down to see a small green tokage "Hey little fella" I leaned down and carefully picked it up not to startle it, it had no collar but I know it belonged to someone cause tokage was rarely ever around people. Before I could pay for the scented candles I could hear someone yelling spot, I turn my back to see Yuichi charging at me in worry. He stopped and bent down panting "Sorry....o-out of breath" he managed to mumble out "evening Usagi, I'm guessing this cutie belongs to you" the little tokage leaped out my arms rushing to Usagi to greet him "yeah his names spot, spot this is (y/n)" Usagi greeted me to his little friend and turned to me "what are you doing out in a market this early?" he questioned tilting his head, boy he's nosey for a rabbit. I purchased the item and looked for anything else that catches my eye "just buying a few things to visit someone. Why are you here Usagi?" I glanced at him in the corner of my eye waiting for his response, he tensed up a bit but then changed to nervousness "oh well I was uh....out for a morning walk" he leaned over a basket and almost fell but he kept balance, he looked up at me biting his lip and let out a nervous chuckle.
