Friendship Restored (Seiko X Naomi)

Chapter 6: Just a Dream

(Seiko's POV)

Several minutes later...

I got up from the table picking up the empty bowl and placed it in the sink. Well, this day just gets more confusing and surprising every second. I thought to myself, I looked at the clock on the wall of near the refrigerator. 1:15AM the clock read. "So tired..." I said in a soft whining tone. "Then let's hurry up and get to bed." Said Naomi who was leaning her back on the wall near the stair case. I slowly walk to her and we climb the stairs into her room. I crawled on her bed and rested my head on the pillow I brought, Naomi right beside me laying on her back.

We both lay there quietly. I look on the floor and see an bean ball laying there. I stretch over to pick it up. "What are you doing?" Naomi said turning to face me. I sit up and throw the ball at the button light switch and the lights flick off. "Niiice" Naomi said giggling, I smiled back at her. "Thanks." I layed back down and stair into the celling of the now dark room.

I felt Naomi's hand grab mine and I looked at her. "You OK?" I asked with a whisper. "Why wouldnt I be?" "Well you have been being really, confusing today..." I replied. She sighed and looked at me holding my hand tighter. "I just dont wanna lose you again." I smiled at her, "You won't lose me, because I'm not leaving." "Um, Seiko, while you were gone I've been thinking, about you a lot and I couldn't think straight knowing that I killed my best friend. With enough thinking I realized something" I looked at her yet again dumbfounded on what is going on. Her face turned red and took a deep breath, I, just staring at her. "Seiko...this is kinda sudden but maybe you would like to...uhh..go,out..with me?" She said without much confidence.

"At this time Naomi?" I joked. "Come on Seiko, I'm serious...you know what I mean" she said again in a quite tone. "Are you sure that's what you mean? If so, sure you want to?" I asked to make sure she meant what she said. "Yes, I'm sure, like I said I've been thinking about it for a long time." "What about Satoshi, hmm?" I questioned. "I don't think I like him as much as I used to..." She said softly.

"I see...alright then, of course I would 'go out' with you" I smiled and hugged her. "Hey Seiko?" "Yes?" "Let's try to keep this between us for a while." She said in my ear. "No problem with that." I smiled, "Can we get some sleep now?" I then asked. "Yes, we can." She said closing her eyes as I did the same.

-Seiko's dream-

I got up from the bed me and Naomi were laying down on. I'll be back as soon as I can. I closed the door and walked trough the old, torn hallway and into the bathroom. I looked around the bathroom and picked up a scrap of paper from the end of the sink. "There you are." I whispered to myself. I walked out the bathroom looking around me. "SEIKO!" I heard Naomi screen from the end of the hallway. I quickly ran back to the infirmary I left her alone in. When I arrived I see her sitting on her knees in front if a burning candle, I slowly walked up to her, "Naomi? Are you OK?" Naomi turned around to face me. She started to yell at me for leaving her 'to die'. I stood there silent and turned around and looked down the hallway and ran back to the bathroom I was in.

I leaned both my hands on the sink and turned on the cold water. A dark reddish colored liquid ran out the the sink into the drain. "OK, ew." I said to myself. Someone opened the bathroom door and I look back to see who it was. Naomi stood at the door and slowly walked in. "Look Naomi... I'm so-" I was interrupted when Naomi punched my face and pushed me against the wall. "N-naomi" I started to cry at the pain in my mouth, when she punched me I bit my tongue hard. She dug her hand into my stomach and some how managed to get her hand trough my body, I screamed in pain while she took her arm out I fell to the ground with a puddle of blood on the floor under me.

-dream ends-

I shot up sitting on the bed and gasped for air. I felt a burning pain in my stomach, I put my hand on it a rubbed it. It wasn't a normal dream, I felt, everything, as if it were real... I gulped and noticed it tasted like blood.
