Kajah: sooo I'm not dead?
Dark: no you're more in a coma.
Kajah: But...why?
Dark: when you went way above your body's limits.
Kajah: what? Really?
Dark: not to mention you did it when you had a curse that devours your mana when ever you use your abilities. All that at once put your body beyond its limits on what stress it can take.
Kajah: O-oh.
Dark: so we are here forever.
Kajah: seriously?
Dark: well there is another way. If you let me take over the curse will be destroyed and you will have power beyond your wildest dreams.
Kajah: Huh? Wait...why would I want you to take over? I mean you just spell evil. No way.
Dark: then we will stay here for eternity. It's not all bad though. You have all this space to do anything you want.
Kajah:hmmmm. Sorry but I have to get out of here somehow.
Dark: I told you it's impossible without me.
Kajah: look I have some people waiting for me. I'm sure they are worried to.
Dark: oh yah I kept hearing voices before you started talking. Something about needing you and waking up soon? Bleh sappy crap.
Kajah: what? Who's voice was it?
Dark: sounded like that girl Rem you like so much. Another voice was herd to. A little boy hmmmm Kiskue I think. He was all crying and stuff to. A lot has been going on around us you know.
Kajah: I really really have to get out of here dark me. Wait...us?
Dark: we are one in the same. You have me sealed remember? Pulse I told you already. You can't without me.
Kajah: (sealed? My eye and arm? Well regardless.) I know there's another way out of here. You just don't want to tell me because it's a problem isn't it.
Dark:.....
Kajah: yah we are one remember?
Dark: dam you act dumb but you're smarter than I thought.
Kajah: hahahah again we are the same person. Why would you think that?
Dark: *sigh* very well. Yes there is another way but you will have this curse on us still and you won't be able to use me until this curse is gone.
Kajah: I see. However your intentions are nothing but evil so I can't let you take over.
Dark: *humph* what ever. Just think about the people you care about and listen to their voices. When you hear it hold out your hand and try to concentrate on that. You will see two string like lights. One white the other blue. What ever you do don't grab the white one what ever you see focus on the blue one.
Kajah: Wait whats the white one?
Dark: it's your inner most desires.
Kajah: Huh?
Dark: it's what you locked up along time ago in regards to your parents. You know before they died.
Kajah: o-oh.
Dark: if you succumb to your desires you will never wake up understand? You'll become something else.
Kajah: y-yah got ya.
Dark: not only that but I'll be stuck here forever as well unable to awaken.
Kajah: right right I get it jeez.
Dark: good now you can go. I'm done explaining. Just don't screw it up.
Kajah: hehe I'll make sure I don't.
Kajah puts his right arm in front of him and has is hand open.
Kajah: well here we go.
Kajah closes his eyes and begins to concentrate. After a while nothing is happening.
Kajah: nothing's working.
Dark: focus harder.
Kajah focuses harder and eventually he hears a very faint voice.
Faint voice: wake up. Please wake up Kajah.
Kajah: that voice. Rem?
Rems voice: *still very faint and distant* Kajah please wake up.
Kajah: (I hear her. I need to focus more.)
Kajah begins to focus even harder to the point where his body in that realm began to fade away.
Dark: (hm. Looks like he's finally about to leave this area. Good luck Kajah.)
Kajah without knowing was taken to another place and, like Dark said two string like lights where next to Kajah. One blue and one white.
Kajah: alright I remember him saying don't fallow the white one.
Kajah goes to grab the blue string but the white one reacted and changed the entire area around Kajah.
Kajah: wh-what's going on? What just happened? Where did the blue string go?
Kajah looks around trying to find the blue string. Eventually he is met with his deepest dreams as he wondered outside to find the string.
Kajah: Wait...mom...dad?
Kajah's Mother: Kajah hello sweetie. You have had one crazy adventure huh.
Kajah's Father: I'm sure you had lots of fun on those adventures to hug kiddo.
Kajah: M-mom...D-Dad I-.
Kajah: remembering what Dark said to him about the white string stopped and thought to himself.
Kajah: (no...as much as I would love to be with them again...I know where my family is now. Wait for me everyone.)
Kajah: walks right past the realistic versions of his parents without looks back and , marches forward to the voice he knows and loves.
Kajah: I-I can hear you Rem.
Then another voice is herd. A voice Kajah herd once when he fought Lith.
Emma: come on daddy it's time to wake up.
Kajah: th-that voice...Emma?!
I can't believe she's actually talking now. This is so amazing and I'm missing it!
Kajah finds the blue neon string and begins chasing it around in the makeshift town he was born in.
Kajah: why can't I catch this? I-I need to wake up. I need to see them again. My-my family.
Kajah stops
Kajah: I-I can't grab it...at this rate I'll never be able to see them again...Rem,Emma,Rez,Toru,Mei,Kiskue,Zephyr,Emilia,Ram,Subaru,     grandmother, Crimson, Raswaal and all the villagers.
Kajah with both hands closed to his sides looks down at the ground and thinks to himself.
Kajah: (I have to get out...I will get out...because...because I have a family that cares for me right now.)
And then Kajah felt something in his hand warm and soothing.
Kajah: Huh? What's? It's...this is...when did the blue string get into my hand?
Kajah confused but glad he finally got the string.
Kajah: welp time for me to wake up.
Dark: oh I see you have it. Good job.
Kajah: yah uhh what do I do with it now?
Dark: you snap it.
Kajah: Wait what? Snap it?
Dark: yes snap it.
Kajah:..are you sure? I mean...what if this sets you free and not me.
Dark: as much as I would like that I'm sure the people that's important to you will get hurt. Besides I've kinda grown attacked to them as well.
Kajah: really? But what about what you said earlier?
Dark: oh that. Meh I just wanted to see your reaction mostly. It was very odd that's for sure. (I can't tell him the truth.)
Kajah: heh I am odd remember.
Dark: yah yah just go already
Kajah: oh right.
Kajah snaps the neon blue thread and begins to slowly fade away from that realm but, before he left fully.
Kajah: hey Dark Me
Dark: hm?
Kajah: I'll learn how to awaken you after this curse is gone I promise.
Dark: hm sure I believe you.
Kajah makes a big smile at his dark self and finally fades away.
Dark: *sigh* if she wasn't here protecting him I would have tricked him into giving me the thread so I can snap it. However....
Dark: looks over his shoulder to see the apportion of Kajah's mother.
Dark: you wouldn't let me I'm sure. This power is related to his emotions after all. He will be a true demon if he loses it. I think you know...his fate.
[Back to reality.]
Kajah is still just getting back his senses and hears Rems voice.
Rem: you know Kajah...I'm glad I met you. If it wasn't for you I-I don't know...I would have been suffering more and more the longer I try. The fact that I'm here with someone I can love with the same feelings as Subaru if not more. So I'm great full to have met you and all your kids you look after.
Rem bends over to kiss Kajah on his forehead. When she does a tear fall on to Kajah's cheek.
Rem: please...just wake up.
Without Rem knowing Kajah wipes away her tears and says.
Kajah: sorry...I didn't mean to make you worry about me like this.
Rem shocked sits up really fast and looks at Kajah with tears running down both her cheeks.
Rem:K-Ka-Kajah.
Kajah: heheh hi.
Rem hugs Kajah really close and with tears of joy.
Rem: you're finally awake. Four days and you finally woke up.
Kajah: (F-FOUR DAYS!!)
Rem: I'm so glad you finally woke up Kajah. You have no idea.
Kajah: hey c-common you know me heheh.
Rem is still crying hugging him. Then Kajah hugs Rem and rests her head on his chest holding the back of her head and rubbing it.
Kajah: I'm so sorry I made you worry this much. I had no idea this is how deep you're feelings are about me. I'm happy to have met you to Rem. Truly I am so great full that you where born.
Rem looks up at Kajah surprised to hear him say that.
Rem: y-you mean that?
Kajah: mhm
Rem and Kajah both hug each other and smile.
She wipes away her tears.
Rem: the kids are waiting for their father. Come on Kajah let's go greet them.
Kajah: of course.
Rem and Kajah leave the room to go see the kids.
