My mind wandered into my thoughts as a scene started playing. I was in some kind of forest, a scent in the air around me. I breathed it in, not having any control over what I did in the dream.

     The scent was sweet, calm, it was as if it was luring me. I took another breath, I didn't know why, but I absolutely loved this new scent. I wanted to know where it came from.

I took off into a sprint, following the scent into the woods. Deeper in than I had ever gone before. Before, the scent was faint, but now it was strong, and even more tempting than before. The scent made me feel like a cat whose having their first experience of cat nip.

The scent was coming from somewhere close to me, I slowed and paid attention to where it came from, when I came close enough, I saw where it was coming from.

A blonde haired boy sitting on a tree log, the scent was no doubt coming from him. It was as if the scent was controlling me, I ran at him and jumped onto his back.

He nearly fell over in surprise, "What the heck?" He asked as he looked over his shoulder to see me nuzzling my head against his neck. "What are you doing? Who are you?" He grabbed onto my arms that were wrapped around his neck, pulling them slightly loose.

He didn't seem to make an effort to shake me off, "You smell nice." Was the only thing that seemed to come out of my mouth. Even though there were so many other things I wanted to say, I could only seem to say that one sentence.

"I smell nice..?" He questioned quietly, loosening his grip on my arms.

"Mh'mm," I mumbled, closing my eyes and taking in the scent.

"That's not a reason to jump on me!" He exclaimed. When I didn't respond he asked, "Who are you anyway?"

"Katsura Akemi," I muttered in a drunk like voice. Was the scent doing this to me? I couldn't tell if I liked it or disliked it. One of my questions finally got out, "Why do you smell like this?"

"I smell like me, you're weird." He stated.

     It faded to black before I saw something else. I was outside of a house. It was two stories, and white. Behind the house is where I was, surrounded by trees.

     I pulled myself up onto a tree branch, looking at the open window in front of me, a sweet smell coming out of it.

     I bent my legs and jumped, hands grabbing onto the bottom of the second story windowsill. I pulled myself up and into the room, landing on two feet on the ground.

     Turning to my right seeing a blonde haired boy, around five, sleeping soundly. It was the same boy from the last dream.

     "Wake up!" I yelled in his ear.

     Instantly he shot up, falling off the bed. "Who? What? Aki?" He saw me standing above him. Aki, I thought to myself. Unlike normally where I would hate the name, now it made me calm.

     "Hiiiiiii," I said cheerfully, sitting on the bed while looking down at him.

     "You," He sat up, pointing at me, "are terrifying."

     "Good!"

     "What if my mom was here?"

     "But she's not."

     "My dad?"

     "Nope."

     "Anyone?"
