What?

Is this..?

Maybe I'm dreaming but...

Is it a coincidence...?

Maybe...

No one's pov

Sanemi swings his katana and slices a demons head. He watches the demons' head disintegrate, lowering his katana. 'Is it only that one?' Obanai says, walking up to Sanemi. Sanemi nods. 'Maybe. We need to double check.' Sanemi says. Obanai nods as Sanemi sheathed his sword. The two start walking around the forest, awkwardly and quietly.

Sanemi didn't know what to say. The two were friends but not the bestest friends. Sanemi scans the forest, trying to find anymore demons. 'Shinazugawa?' Obanai says to Sanemi. Sanemi jumps and looks at Obanai as the two walk. 'What?' He asks. 'Do you believe in reincarnation?' Obanai murmurs. Sanemi blinks at Obanai, obviously confused.

'I don't know.' Sanemi shrugs. 'Why ask?' Sanemi says to Obanai. 'I always had that thought in my mind but I never really thought about it out loud..' Obanai says, calmly. Sanemi watches as Kaburamaru rest his head on Obanai's shoulder. 'But why ask me?' Sanemi asks confused. Obanai shrugs. 'I have no idea..' Obanai mutters as they walk.

It was a loud and awkward silence for them both. As they walk, Kaburamaru suddenly lifts up his head and hisses. 'What's wrong Kaburamaru?' Obanai asks as Kaburamaru's snake eyes go into slits. As if it was a coincidence, a demon jumps out in front of the duo. Sanemi and Obanai both jump and pull out their swords, looking at the demon.

'Lowermoon 6..' Sanemi murmurs quietly under his breath. Without much hesitation, the lowermoon comes and strikes at the two hashira. Obanai quickly dodges as Sanemi dashes to the left, nearly hitting a tree. Sanemi then runs and quickly swings his sword at the lowermoon's neck, the sword going halfway through the demons neck.

But.. In a blink..

No ones pov

Sanemi jumped out of bed, his entire body covered in sweat for no explained reason. He sits on his bed, rubbing his head with his hand. 'Ergh..' Sanemi groaned as his head started to ache. He blinks and looks back at his bed, noticing Obanai gone. He looks at the bed then the clock, realizing he woke up at 6:00am. He sighs and gets up.

He walks to his bathroom, his head was spinning at that point. Many questions flooded his mind as he puts toothpaste on his toothbrush. He starts brushing his teeth, looking at himself in the mirror. 'Shinazugawa..' Sanemi says in his head as he brushes his teeth. Sanemi obviously knew that who ever he was, they had the same last name. Maybe a coincidence but the person "he" was talking to looked awfully like Obanai.

He felt sick. He didn't understand ANYTHING. Why was he just now having these dreams? Who in his family knew a guy that looked so similar to Obanai? Why did.. The questions stopped as he pulls his toothbrush out of his mouth and drinking the tap water and spitting it out. He finished his routine and heads downstairs to his kitchen, grabbing a piece of bread and puts it into the toaster.

One question lingered in his mind though. Why did the person, who looked like Obanai, ask a question about reincarnation? Sanemi was confused of course, none of his dreams have been this weird. He watches as the toast pops out and grabs it taking a bite out of it. After he finished eating the toast, he washes his hands and heads back upstairs to change.

He walks out of his room, holding a small note. "Nearly forgot we have school tomorrow, sorry for leaving you again -Obanai" Sanemi shrugs as he heads back downstairs, throwing the note away. Considering he actually woke up early, by early I mean it's 6:47am, he decide to wait on Obanai and Kyojuro instead of them waiting for him. With that in mind he grabs his backpack, his phone, stuffs his backpack with homework he had left on the living room table, and heads out.

Though he still had the thoughts of the dream. He didn't like it but the "dream" felt vivid. A lot more lucid. But then he brushes it aside once he remembers that he was fighting a demon. There was no way demons existed! But then as he was walking to the school entrance, he remembered how Obanai looked.

Same eyes, same mask, the jacket thing looked like Obanai's socks when he first met him, and similar hair. The jacket thing confused him since he only seen Obanai wear those socks one or two times. But then again the whole dream was weird. Him and the Obanai lookalike fighting demons, the fact he himself said something to do with six moons, everything about the dream made no sense!

Sanemi sighs as he stand in front of the school entrance. School. Again. He didn't want to do it again but he had to.

He pushed the weird thoughts away and waited for either Kyojuro or Obanai to arrive, trying not to think about the dream.
