Shou's POV
~~
After dinner, we all go back into the living room.
Sitting in a semi-circle around Saga's mirror.
The others start asking him questions.
Trying to get him to remember the places he's been.
Hoping they'll recognize one of them.
To at least give us a starting point for our search.
Hiroto's taken charge of writing things down.
Which leaves me nothing to do except listen, since I haven't been anywhere.
I feel my eyes drift shut.
Their soft voices gently lull me to sleep.
I'm back in that room.
The one from last night's dream.
But this time I take the time to study my surroundings.
It's a fairly large room.
Not quite as big as the king’s audience chamber, but almost.
There are several doors leading out of it.
I move to one, reaching out to open it.
And I find that I can.
But there's nothing but darkness on the other side.
I move on to the next one.
Trying each door in turn.
All but one is quiet and dark on the other side.
That one leads to a dimly lit hallway.
I decide to take a chance.
Moving into the hallway.
I hear a soft rustling ahead of me.
I follow the hall as it turns.
I can sense something in the shadows off to one side.
But I can't make out the shape.
Just that it's something large.
But I'm not afraid of it.
Even when I hear a deep rumble.
Almost like a growl coming from it.
"Still mad?" a voice rasps from behind me.
The growl gets louder.
And I swear I can hear teeth gnashing together.
I turn around.
But all I see his a cloaked figure.
Standing a short distance away.
I turn back to the shadows.
"Maybe you should've gone along with my idea. You both would be free by now. Instead, here you are. Trapped and alone."
His laughter causes shivers to run along my spine.
The creature in the shadows doesn’t like it either.
Leaping into view.
I sit up, breathing heavily.
"Bad dream?" Kai asks, rubbing my back.
I shake my head.
“It wasn't really like a dream. I had one last night, too."
"What was it like?" Reita asks, coming to kneel in front of me.
"It was strange. Almost like it was really happening."
I tell them what I saw.
How I felt.
After I finish, Reita looks at Nao.
"Sound familiar?"
Nao nods "Almost like yours."
"I don't think it was really a dream. Sometimes our minds show us things. Real things. This sounds like one of those times."
Reita shifts back, sitting on the floor.
"Perhaps this has something to do with Saga? Maybe you're seeing where he's being kept."
"What about the creature?"
"It's possible...I'm sorry. But I think that could be his friend." Aoi answers. "If I was going to put someone in a mirror, I'd want to make sure that his friend couldn't rescue him. What better way than to trap him in some alternate form?"
"Poor Tora" Saga whispers from the mirror.
"And the figure in the hallway, that's probably the guy that did it." Ruki adds. "He's hanging around. Gloating."
"I think I agree with Ruki. This guy's bad news. The sooner we find Saga and Tora the better," Nao says.
"So what have we got to go on?" Aoi asks.
And I realize that they've gotten quite a bit from Saga while I was sleeping.
"Alright. Let's all turn in so we can get an early start tomorrow."
"You," Reita points at me, "write down your dreams. Anything and everything. No matter how trivial it seems. It could help us out later."
"And you," Aoi points at Saga "keep trying to remember things. We'll show you when we reach the first spot. See if it's someplace you remember. OK?"
"I can't thank you guys enough," Saga says from the mirror.
"Don't worry," Ruki adds, "We'll take care of everything."
And I can't help but believe him.
I think they just might be able to.
~~
I wake in the morning, sad that I didn't dream anything new.
In fact I didn't dream at all.
I really wish I would've.
I need to find out where they are.
I join the others for breakfast.
Watching as Kai stuffs packs full of food.
"I was thinking," Hiroto starts "maybe you're having these visions because you're so anxious to help Saga."
"That's a pretty good guess, actually. Reita used to see things whenever he was worried about something." Nao tells us. "I think they were brought on by stress."
"The last one was about Kai and Aoi," Reita says, taking another piece of toast. "After you guys disappeared, I was worried that something bad had happened."
"As you can see, we're fine."
"Yeah, but I was still worried. Until I saw you guys in a vision. You were both laughing. So I figured everything was OK."
"We probably should've sent word. But we were afraid that our uncle'd have someone watch you. Just in case we did try to contact you. I mean, everyone knew we were friends."
"That's true. But I still would've liked to have known for sure. I really missed you."
"You mean you missed beating me at almost everything" Aoi laughs.
"If I remember right, he did beat you at everything. No almost about it," Nao joins in.
"By the way, everything's packed except the food and Saga. I'm sure you'll want to keep track of him," Nao says the last to me.
I just nod, mouth full of food.
