Voices slowly trickle through your mind like molasses, but the words don't stick; they slip right over the edge. Your lips downturn in a grimace as images come to the forefront of your mind. A few figures stand in front of you, but they're blurred, and you can't quite make out who they are. They're talking... no, yelling... but the sound is all muffled, so you squeeze your eyes tightly shut to try and focus on the words. Slowly, the words become louder until you can understand bits and pieces as the figures begin to surround you. They keep shouting until it almost becomes unbearable, and your eyes pop back open. But something is wrong; they start to run away. No, they can't leave; you need to—

"Wake up! Now is not the time to be sleeping; you still have to complete your mission!!"

Your eyes snap open when something sharp stabs the back of your hand. You jolt and push yourself up enough to spot your crow pecking at your skin. You swat her away and cringe as you now sit upright, holding a hand to your head with a pained groan. Your head pounds dully, and you blink a few times.

"Yu-Yume..?"

"The one and only! Now, hurry and get up; you don't have all night!"

"Uhh," you pause and look around the clearing in front of you, still dazed and confused, "what happened?"

She switches to English as she yells at you again. "QUIT FOOLING AROUND, HURRY UP!!"

The way she's yelling makes it seem like your life is in danger at this very moment, so you begin to panic a little as your eyes flit around the clearing.

"WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME?!"

She huffs, "You have a mission to complete! Now, hurry and get up before you fail!!"

Your eyes widen as you slowly come to and remember everything that has transpired until now.

"Oh no, the mission! Wait, is the demon still alive?!"

Yume squawks, her wings fanning out. "No! You defeated it, don't you remember? But you still have to find the missing children, so hurry!"

Oh... right! You did defeat the demon!

But you had passed out before you could go and search for the children that it had taken...

Oh no, this was bad... how long were you out?

Was Giyuu here, and did he see everything that happened? Probably... so, hopefully, he doesn't mention this little hiccup, and you don't end up failing this mission after all. You nearly shriek as you spin around on the ground to get a look at your surroundings from behind you, coming face to... well... not face... with Giyuu, or more like your sword that he's holding in front of you. You scramble back, and your eyes shoot up to his face. You aren't surprised to see no expression, but it still unsettles you the slightest bit.
