Chapter 27: trouble in dream land part 1

* a short crossover of the new show the Sandman, hope you like it!*

The paramedics rush Hime to the hospital in time. They have stabilize her with a air breather tube to her nose and a heart monitor. She was bleeding a lot from a gush wound that's slice across from her shoulder down to her stomach by a hot metal blade. They did everything they can to stop the bleeding.

"Hold on Batts! I'm right here!" Leader hold her hand. He try to stop his tears but seeing Hime defeated is the first for him. Once they stop to the nearest hospital, they rush her in. Leader try to follow but they have him wait in the lobby.

"No, no, no! I have to be there! Please!"

"We'll do everything we can for your girlfriend. But please stay here!" The nurse told him. She rush to the doctors that needed her assistance. Leader look at his hands and his clothes. He's cover in her blood. He try to breathe from the sight of it. He can feel his head spinning. The noises in the hospital confused him. The sight of blood reminds him of the time that twins came at him and his crew. It was the same time Hime broke up with him fought the twins. They found their hideout. They made Jaws an example of what would happen. Leader try to stop them. But they wouldn't let go for what Hime did. Ryunosuke glare at Leader with pure rage. He have never have someone defeated him before.

"You little prek! After everything we done for you!" he glare at Leader. He have him in the ground, underneath his feet, struggling to get up. Jaws is the only one who stand up against them. But that was a mistake. Ryunosuke grab her by the neck. He look down at leader, "Didn't I tell you before. You need to put bitches in thier place!"

"No please! She have nothing to do with this!" Leader yelled at him.

"Hey! You know the saying!" He grin at him. "An eye for an eye!" He show him the claw marks that Hime left on him across his missing eye. Now it's a big empty hole with claw marks. It's still fresh from the fright earlier. Hime almost took half of his face. Jaws struggles to release herself. Ryunosuke jap his finger in Jaws eye. She scream in pain. Leader yelled at him. He try to get up to fight but he Couldn't. He's no match for them. Jaws scream from the pain but she pass out from it as well. Ryunosuke leans over at Leader while holding up the eyeball that stab on his finger.

"If you see that fuzz ball bitch of yours. Tell her I'll be waiting for a rematch!" He told her. He left him alone. Leader cry as he hold Jaws in his arm. Her eye socket wouldn't stop bleeding. He try to wake her up.

He see's the blood again on his hands. It's deja vu all over again. He can feel his panic attack happing. He drop to the ground hyperventilating. He try to wipe the blood off but it won't come off.

'Bark!' a black wolf dog that have a vest that said Service dog. It was Fenrir. He slowly walks to him to calm him. Fenrir place his head on his shoulder. Leader didn't know why but he start to pet him. He still hyperventilate but he was slowly breathing now. He can feel his nerves have slowly begin to calm down.

Adam: 😟 feel better now?

Leader look up to see him there.

"Y-yeah! Thank you!" He gets up. "how did you get here?"

Adam: 🏃‍♂️🏥

"Oh." He sound off.

Adam: 😟 How's Hime?

"They," he look at the blood in his hand. "She's... She's." He couldn't say it. His hands start to shake.

"Tin Can? SHADES! the hell are you two here?" Bakugo look at them in surprise.

Bakugo saw the blood all over Leader. He's a bit shock to see him here of all places. Bakugo wore casual clothes that was pack for by Kirishima. He seem fine after what happened today. But he seem all well. Aizawa look over at his student while talking to a receptionist. The whole Hospital is completely busy out of no where. He have no idea what was going on. It just got busy in no time.

"Did they contact you?" Leader ask him. His voice sound weak and scared.

"Who?" Bakugo look annoyed at him. "Why the fuck are you here, Shades?"

Leader look more pale than before. His hands won't stop shaking and keep staring at the blood.

Adam: 😭😟😱😨, 🦇 Hime, is 🤕😷🤒 pretty bad!

Bakugo look at him in shock. His whole body froze. He look at Leader to say something. But he still seem stunned as he saw the blood in his fingers.

"Is it true?" He ask him. Leader wouldn't say anything. He stood quite. "I'm asking you! Is it true? Why are you with here with her?" He ask him angerily. Leader ignore him and stare off in the distance. Bakugo couldn't handle this he grab him by his shirt.

"I'M FUCKING TALKING TO YOU!"

"HEY! HEY! HEY! BAKUGO!" Aizawa pull him away. He look at the boy who's cover in blood. But he also noticed Adam and Fenrir here.

"Whats going on? Seifuik, why are you here?" He ask Adam.

Adam: 😨🦇 Hime is hurt.

"What?" He look a bit surprised.

Aizawa look at Adam in a bit surprised. Hime is here. But why? Why could she be here? He knows that she was in a doctor's appointment in a small clinic. So why would she be in here of all places.

"What do you mean Siefuki is hurt?" Aizawa ask Adam. Leader look at the blood on him. He couldn't bring himself to say it.

Bakugo growled lowly to himself as he felt the tension in the air become to much, "HEY! WILL SOMEBODY JUST FUCKING ANSWER ALREADY!?"

"Bakugo calm down!" Aizawa pull him away. "Siefuki, what happened? I thought you two were at a doctor's office?"

Adam: 😨 there was a villian attack. In our neighborhood. People got hurt. Villian call herself 16.

"She.... She.." Leader still in shock. He didn't want to say it but they need to tell them. "She try to protect me. She got ... They, she."

"She what!? Come on already! Fucking spit it out shades!?!" Bakugo yell as he needed to know what was going on and what the hell had happened."Bakugo calm down!" Aizawa try to pull him away. Leader couldn't say anything. He still in shock. He can feel his anxiety coming back. A doctor came out with blood all over him.

"Siefuki!" He look around for her family.

Aizawa left Bakugo alone with Leader.

"Bakugo, don't do anything stupid." Aizawa went to talk to the doctor.

'Tsk! Yeah the fuck right!' Bakugo turned and looked at Leader. He noticed the way how spaced out he looked as he went over to him, still glaring at him, "Listen shades I'm going to be as quick as I can be--so tell me, what the fuck happened!"

Leader still look at his hand. He can't stop thinking about it. He felt so stupid. He should have listen to her. He should have just, "She said to run." He look at the blood. "I should listen. I should have... Fuck!" He lower his head. He try to hide his tears but he couldn't. "If I haven't went back, she wouldn't be in this mess."

"What. Do. You. Mean?" Bakugo says through gritted teeth and worry even further.

Adam bump to him. He look at him. With his emoji.

Adam: 😨😞

Bakugo growled angrily as he slammed his fist into the wall beside him as he cursed out loud, "FUCK!!!"

Aizawa talk to the doctor who seem to be in a hurry to go back.

"How bad is it?" Aizawa ask him.

"She's loosing a lot of blood and fast. The wound is too deep. I don't know what cut her this deep. It seems that she's been cut with something hot and heavy. The blade seem to have missed her organs. But we need to do a blood transfusion quick. Do you know her blood type?"

"Um, no. We don't." Aizawa told him.

"Okay, do you have any contact with her guardian? Parent?"

Aizawa thought about it for a second. He doesn't have any idea about his student. He doesn't have any idea about who she is. He knows well about his other students but nothing of her. Adam quickly hover towards them.

Adam: Blood type AB - .

The doctor thank them and ran off. Aizawa look at Adam with a sigh of relief.

"Thank you Seifuik!"

Adam: Happy to help! 😁✌️

Aizawa groan at him a little. He watch Bakugo who seem to be arguing with the boy.

Bakugo was trying his best to reframe from going crazy and up the wall as he punches the walls angrily, "Fuck! Fuck! FUCK!!!"

"I'm sorry." Leader whimper.

Bakugo slides down to the floor still cursing as his knuckles were white and red.

Aizawa walk up to him. He look at the two and let out a loud sigh. "Bakugo do you have everything? We'll be leaving soon. Do you um, have any one to call?" He look at the boy. Leader shook his head.

Bakugo said nothing at first as he still kept his head down, not looking at Aizawa even once until he spoke, "I'm not going..."

Aizawa look at him with his eyebrow arched. "We have to go Bakugo. You can't stay here."

"No! I'm staying damnit!" Bakugo slammed his fists on the ground.

"And what can you do for her? There is nothing you can do. The doctors are going do what they can for her. Till now, we need to make room for those who need this place more then we do."

"I...I can be here for her...I can just...be here..." Bakugo says quietly as he felt the lump in his throat form as he still stared at the floor.

Aizawa sigh heavily at this. He didn't have time to be a baby sitter.

"I'm not a babysitter, Bakugo. And we can't be in the way for these doctors."

"I can... Stay." Leader whimper. "I can give updates about her."

"What?! Hell no!" He barked at Leader and turn to Aizawa and growls, "And I don't need no babysitter either!"

He knew Bakugo is stubborn. And there is no way of arguing with him. He sigh heavily as he sat down on the chair.

The hospital was pack of civilians and heros. They're all hurt from burn marks or the earthquake incident. Aizawa watch the news of a Lava monster that destroy part of the city. Over 20 hundred thousand of people were hurt. Heroes couldn't stop that thing in time. But somehow the monster soon stop and splash down all over the streets. The ones that were in the way, didn't make it in time. This happened hours ago. He look at the boy's who were just waiting for the news. Leader pet Fenrir. He's surprised that a dog his size is so well behaved. Adam hover next Bakugo. He try talking to him but Bakugo ignore him. Adam seem to be worried about him and try to have his mind off of this mess. A woman wearing a doctor's coat run up to the receptionist. She bulky for a woman her size. She wore red glasses, a long skirt that basically cover her feet. She have colorful cable hair. Her skin however look fake. And her blue eyes look more like headlights.

"I'm looking for Hime Seifuik! I'm her guardian!" She sound worried.

"Hime Seifuik? I'm sorry ma'am but she's in surgery right now."

"Surgery!" She sound panic, "Why?"

"You have to wait till a doctor gets hear."

"I don't want to wait a doctor! I like to see my child!"

"Ma'am! We are busy right now!"

"I've been busy for the past six hours! Because you people ran out of room! Your bloody ambulance have sent me patience that need more medical attention then ever!" She yelled at her.

"I can't do anything about this!"

"I need to know how she is?" She grew impatient.

Aizawa looked towards the direction the woman came in. He was surprised to hear that she was Hime's guardian and the fact that he didn't know about her was even more surprising. He walked over to the front desk, "Excuse me, did you say Seifuik?"

The woman look at the scrubby man in disgust. She look at him from head to toe. She didn't look happy to see him. Fenrir bark happily as he jump on the woman.

"Fenrir! Oh sweet boy! Are you okay? Are you hurt?" She check him. Adam hover towards her slowly but hid behind Aizawa.

Adam: 😣😟 Creator.

"You know her Adam?" Aizawa asked with a hint of surprise.

Adam: 😟 She's my mother.

He sound scared and nervous. Andrea look up at Adam. She push her glasses up, "V-4, what are you doing with him?"

Aizawa looked at this with surprise. He didn't know she was his mother, so that made him think over it now, "Are you Seifuik's guardian?"

"Why should that matter to you!" Andrea blue eyes turn red.

Adam: 😣😖😨😟 mother!

"V-4, get over here now."

Aizawa narrowed his eyes and kept Adam, "There is no need to be angry with Adam. I just wanted to know was you their guardian. My name is Shōta Aizawa and I'm their teacher." He says calmly.

"I know who you are Eraserhead! You have quiet the reputation of leading your students to danger. And having them get kidnapped!" She look at him with a glare.

Aizawa eyes narrowed a bit.

"V-4! Now!" Andrea look at Adam. He look at Aizawa 😓. He slowly Hover towards her but Bakugo pull him over.

"His name is Adam. And he ain't going no where!"

Andrea looks at the blonde boy. She scan him secretly. She see his x-ray of three broken rib cage. She knew who he is. She have managed to hack in to the school system before and download all the information about their students. The more she look at him, she know she have seen him somewhere before. But where could she have met him.

"Bakugo. I thought I told you to stay put!" Aizawa scolded him.

"I am sir! But this bitch is being bitchy."

"EXCUSE ME! LANGUAGE YOU LITTLE BRAT!"

'Yep, that's her guardian all right!' Bakugo thought.

Adam try to calm her down a bit but Andrea look at him a bit curious, "Wait a minute! I remember you!"

Bakugo look at her confused till it hit him. She's the doctor that help them out before.

Fuuuuuuuck! "Nope you never seen me before!" Bakugo try to not panic.

"Ah! Your the lad that was looking for that one friend! Wait a minute! Your not looking for him after all, are you? Was that a bloody lie!"

Aizawa looked at he them both and was surprised they knew each other, "What are you talking about?"

Bakugo grumbled to himself knowing he couldn't escape from this, "Did a undercover that St. father Jospeh want us to. We met her. Information that she gave us was useful for a mission that we're doing!" Bakugo groan as he made that short. To think out of all the people in Japan he pump into her again and what's worse she's Hime's guardian. Go figure.

"Uuugh, this is why I hate hero's. Placing a child in high risk of danger. Just great!" Andrea groan. But she's now confused. She look at the two in curiosity. She knew Aizawa is a U.A. Teacher and Bakugo is a student there. Why are these two here? And how do they know Adam so well. He even ask me about Hime. She wanted to ask questions but the doctor came out looking around, "Seifuik? I'm looking for Seifuik's family!"

Andrea walk towards him out of panic, "How is she? Is she okay?"

"We're doing everything we can. She lost a lot of blood and the wound is very deep. Luckily it miss her organs."

"What's happening now?" Andrea ask him.

"We're performing surgery right now but I have a few questions." He sound concern.

"Questions? About what?"

"Her body is going OD. Does she have a history of drug abuse that your aware of?" The doctor ask her with concern. Aizawa over hear thier conversation. He pat Bakugo's shoulder, "Bakugo, I need you to sit down. I need to talk to the doctor."

"What? No!"

"For once just," Aizawa took a breather and sigh. "just listen, okay." He told him. Adam was going to hover towards them but Aizawa stop him. Both Bakugo and Adam sat back down with Leader and Fenrir. Bakugo watch the two as they talk to the doctor.

"H-how is she?" Leader spoke.

Bakugo didn't say anything to him. He watch Aizawa and the woman. He didn't know what to do. He didn't know how this happened. He felt stupid for arguing with her. He shouldn't have said those things to her. He shouldn't have act like a jerk.

She was swimming.

Further, and further into the depths of the water she was in.

She didn't know how or what caused her to come here, and why.

It felt like she was drowning. Drowning in a wave of what looked like pictured images swimming around her of her face, cracking her eyes, she sees those images act like watered down films moving in a slowly moving reel the further she went.

'Where...am I?...what..are those..?'

She try to reach out and touch the films but each time she tries, the film would disappear. She can see them all moving, symmetrically and each one played a different role or play as she sinks. One or two caught her eye in particular, "Is that...t-Tomura..."

She noticed it was from her view, the scene itself looked like it happened not to long ago. She gently touched it as the film grew bigger, she can see how faded and blurry the imaged looked but it was enough for her to see Tomura was struggling to stand, blood dripping on his chest and his face twisted with both anger and pain as she can hear off from someone's laughter but it was muffled. She saw how Tomura was running towards her but it soon faded to black.

"No...don't go!..Tomura please...come back..." she says softly in a whimper but then the other film from the side of her caught her eye as she noticed one that looked like Leader. What was happening? Why was Leader there?

It showed of him smiling, the both of them as if they were...happy. But why couldn't she remember until now? How did things turn like this?

Hime didn't know as she begins to feel herself get heavy, "I'm so sleepy...but..I want to watch more of the pictures...what..do I..do..." Hime says as she felt her eyes were growing heavy and slowly drifting to a close as she saw one more picture film move in front her as she tries to reach out and touch it but it fades away as she slowly falls asleep....

'B..Bakugo...'

"Quick! We need to perform an emergency surgery on her now! She's losing too much blood!" The doctors says as they had to immediately put Hime onto the table, and have to work fast.

Everything became silent. All the sounds have been block. There is nothing but utter blackness. Floating to the abyss. Hime can hear a slight faint sound. It was someone's voice. A girl's. She knew that voice.

"BATTS!"

"EH?" Hime felt a hard hit on her right cheeks. The crowd yelled at them from the ring. A few people were yelling angerily to see Hime fall.

"Hahahaha, what's wrong lil girl. Gonna cry?" The man pop his knuckles.

Leader slam his hand on the ring floor next to Hime, "Come on Babe! Kick his ass!" He yelled at her.

"Get up Batts!" A girl with long wavy black hair told her. She have pink highlights color in. She wore a leather spike vest with a pink corset, pink fish net long sleeve gloves. Black leather skirt and long black boots. She wore heavy black and pink makeup. "Come on Batts! He's coming at you!"

"I fucken heard you the first time!" Hime yelled at her.

"Bitch, get up!" She smile at her.

"Bitch, shut up!" Hime smirk at her.

"Heh. So you have some nerve to talk all that shit but you were zoning out on me Huh you little rat!" The guy yells at her again, taunting her.

"Sorry, I was just trying to find your dick. But I can't seem to find it since you got no balls!" Hime blow the blood out of her nose. She stick her tongue out and point the middle finger. "Maybe after I won, I can buy you a new one."

They growled angrily at her as he threw his fist right at her face.

"Oi! Watch it batts! He's definitely coming right at you!" Kat says as she watches the guy swing his fists at her face.

"OOOOoooooo! Did you bet on her winning or loosing?" Leader ask Kat. They watch Hime get up to spit off blood. She run up to the guy, she slide under him then hops on his shoulder. She start to scratch out his face viciously.

"Winning. What's it to you?" Kat raised an eyebrow at him as the guy struggled to get Hime off of him at first before grabbing her and flipping her off of him as he landed a punch to her stomach.

Hime cough from the hard punch. She curl up a bit to her side. She slowly gets up and smiles at the guy. Her fangs were shown off. She looks at him with a sinister look.

"Hehehe, a nun hits harder then that! Is that all you got!" She charges at him in all fours. Hime jumps in the air, she wrap her legs around his neck. She start to claw his face some more. She then press down her thumbs on his eyes. She can feel his hands on her, pulling her off. Hime lean in to bite down his nose.

"Oooh, that's got to hurt!" Leader whinced at the pain. "I was just asking. You don't have to be a bitch all the time with me."

The guy yells and manages to grab Hime by neck and throw her back against the floor before punching her agains, "If you scratch like a damn kitten! You fucking rat!"

"And I solemnly don't remember asking you for your opinion or thought either." She says without even looking at Leader.

"Why are you here if you don't like me?" Leader grumble.

Hime used her arms to block the punches. She knew with Kat around, her powers won't work. Thankfully, her butthead opponent couldn't used his eaither. Hime kick him right between his legs with full strength.

"Oh trust me dude, I only tolerate you--for her sake. Ooooh! You go batts!" Kat says as the guy groans onto the floor.

Now he was pissed as he charged and tackled Hime and places her into a headlock while pinning her legs with his own.

"Aaah! Batts!" Leader was ready to go in there but Kat stop him from going in. "Are you crazy! She's going to die!"

"Do you really not have faith in her? At the least give her the chance! I know she'll win." Kat says as she kept her eyes on Hime as the guy was tightening his grip on her.

"What are you going to do now huh? Ready to submit like the rat you are?" The guy taunted in her ear.

Hime look over at Kat and Ash arguing as always. She couldn't let this guy win. Her air pipes have gotten weak. She look at her hands trying to pull his arms off. She smile wickedly at this. She shove her sharp claw thump right to his right eyes. The guy scream as he lets go of Hime, dropping her to the floor as he holds his face.Hime coughs as she gasp for air. She quickly gets up to charge the man. She right away punch him in between his legs to make him kneel down. The groans to the floor as he holds his face and crouch.

"Wooohoooo! Go batts!" Kat calls out.

"Suck on this BITCH!" Hime headbutt him right on his nose.The guy groans as he holds his nose and waved his hand, surrendering as he groans.Hime heard the crowd yelled happily at her. She lifted up a middle at everyone with a wicked grin.

"DON'T YOU FUCKEN DOUBT ME AGAIN!" she yelled happily at the crowd. She gets down at the ring only to be pick up and spin around.

"Dam bae, you are hot!" Leader peck her lips.

Kat rolled her eyes at Leader but happily comes over and hugs her, "I knew you could do it batts!"

"so how much money did we earn?" Hime smile happily.

Kat grinned from ear to ear, "$785.00!!!" She squealed.

"YES!" Hime jumps happily. "Drinks at your job?" She smile happily

"Hell yeah!" Kat says excitedly.

"Sweet!" Leader wraps his arms around Hime's shoulder. "Ooh! Let's eat curry!" Kat rolled her but she can't deny her stomach was grumbling terribly.

"Ungh! I want curry so badly! Let's hurry up and go to Hot Girlz because I'm going to starve to death!"

"You think the old geezer well let us drink at his bar?" Hime ask her.

"Hmmm. Maybe, maybe not--not unless we don't tell him." Kat smiles mischievously

Hime smirk at her. Leader pull her in for side hug. He look at her with a smile.

"You sure your okay Bae? I know you couldn't used your powers with her around." He look at Kat with a slight smirk but it still sound like insult to her.

Kat narrowed her eyes at him. Did he really just go there?

"I'm fine, love. I felt a much harder punch then that from 18..." Hime stop herself from talking. She stop walking with them. Her body tremble from remembering that place. She start to have her panic attacks. She try to breathe but her breathing start to go heavy and hard.

"Batty! Are you okay?!" Kat was beside her quickly and gently rubbing her back. "You okay batty, do you need anything?! Please tell me what you need?!" Kat says softly in a small panic. Hime's panic start to get worse. She try to talk but her throat felt tight and dry. She can hear all the screams and the banging at the doors. She can see it clearly now. There was a fire. She wore her lab gown. She was running away. But didn't know from who. She heard the loud banging from the play room. The small crack open with black smoke coming out. Hime can see the fire inside. Her brothers and sisters were trying to escape. They all call out to her. They scream for help.

"Help us!"

"It's too hot!"

"Six! Help!"

The screams grew louder. She try to block them out. But the pain is too great.

"Save us!"

"Help us!"

"Help us!"

A loud ding from a small trailer dinner echo the small restaurant. Hime look up to see a blonde woman with a pink tacky uniform and blue eyeshadow. It made her look old and wrong. She have curly hair but it was place up.

"Alright sugar pie, one chicken salad and a burger." She place the food down to Yamaha and his partner who were sitting across from her. The partner have a beautiful shade of brown skin tone. Her hair have thick curls. They're parted sideways on her left side. She have beautiful brown eyes. She have long elf like ears and a lions tail. She stab her salad as she look at Hime with a bit of hate in them. Hime noticed it but choose to ignore them.

"As for the hungry little lady, I got you that Big dipper buger. And a side of cheesey fries with double dutch chocolate smoothie of wipcream and extra sprinkles."

Hime look at the huge burger in excitement. They place a stick to hold it in.

"Is it rare?" Hime ask her with her cute little girl's British voice.

"Yes ma'am. Well, if y'all need me. Let me know enjoy."

Hime lick her bottom lip. She quickly stuff the fries in a hurry. She's all dirty and have old ragged clothes on. She stuff the food as if she haven't eaten in days.

"Blegh!" Luann look at her to see how she's eating. "Remind me why we taken her here instead of jail again? She did try to hurt Terry!"

"Calm down Luann. There's..probably a reason as to why she attacked" Yamaha says calmly.

"Seriously, Yamaha! A reason!" Luann look at the girl who seem to have already made her way to almost finished a five stack burger. "Dam kid! Didn't anyone teach you manners?" Luann look at her to see how she lick her fingers.

"Waft phat?" Hime spoke with her mouth full.

Yamaha chuckled as he looked Luann again, "I know it sounds pretty skeptic but...she might've been scared..." he thought as he looked over at Hime.

"Hmp!" Luann sat all the way back to her seat. "Your too dam soft " she told him. She widen her eyes to see that the burger is completely gone.

"Can I order another one?" Hime wipe her mouth with her arm.

"What the," Luann look at her.

"Yep but only if you answer me a question first, please. But only if you want to that is." He says softly and smiles as he promises to get her another burger.

"Whatcha want to know?" Hime cross her arms. As small as she look. She looks like a little doll. Her pink little nose wrinkle up making her extra cute.

"Tch, your like a little kitten." Luann tease her.

"Ah bite me yah twig!"

"Why you little.." Luann felt a hand on her shoulder to calm her down. She turn away from Yamaha to see him giving her a look to stop. "Hmp!"

"Well..I know we might've went through this but, why did you attack Terry?" Yamaha asked questionably.

Hime drink her milkshake when she look at them the slurp sound annoyed Luann. She bang the table with her fist.

"That's annoying! Stop that!"

Hime jolt in fear. She hissed at her like an animal. Hime growl at her and now seems agitated. She was ready to make a run for it.

"Wait, wait. Luann please don't do that your scaring her!" Yamaha told her.

"Me!" Luann look at him, "look at her! She's toying with us!"

"But that doesn't mean we have to act out as such! You can clearly see that you spooked her by doing that." Yamaha told her and scolded her for it. "And even if she was, still...it's not fair to her."

"I don't get why your being nice to this little criminal." She glare at Hime.

"And I don't get why he's stuck with a ragged bitch like you!" Hime stick her tongue.

"What you said you little shit?"

"Okay, okay! Everyone calm down right now!" Yamaha says sternly.

The two stick thier tongues at each other. Hime munch on cheesey fries. She look at Yamaha who seem to have kind eyes. She sniff at him to only smell sweet type scent.

"I'm truly apologize for that, do you like your cheese fries?"

"I want another one!" Hime told him. She drink her milkshake it was already half gone.

"Alright, another set of cheesy fries, milkshake and burger Hm? If you like, would you like dessert?"

"yeah!" Hime told him.

"That's yes please!" Luann grumble at her.

"Heh. Alright!" He called the waiter over for another order of food. They take the order and goes to give it to the chef, Yamaha goes back to looking at Hime, "Again, I'm sorry about earlier but would you like to tell me a bit about yourself? Anything you like in favorites?"

"what do you want to know? My info ain't cheap!" Hime cross her arms.

"Well, your not lying. How about this: If you answer a few of my questions, I'll get you as many dessert as you want. Do we have a deal?" Yamaha says thoughtfully.

"deal!" Hime spit in hand.she held it out him to make the deal.

"Ew! That's gross!" Luann look in disgust. He chuckles as this before doing the same and shook her hand.

"Whatcha like to kno Boss?"

"Well, what is your favorite things? Like color? Hobbies? Etc."

"what's that?" Hime look confused.

"Huh? You mean hobbies? Yamaha questions curiously

"yeah, and whats a color?"

"You don't know whats a color?" Luann look at her confused.

"Well, color is...basically what paints the entire world. The world is full of pretty colors like red, blue, yellow and orange." Yamaha tries to explain.

Hime look at him as she munch on the fries. She look confused by this. It seems to be the first time she's hearing this. She look inside her bag and pulled out a few useless things.

"What's this color?" She pointed out a green bottle of Sprite.

"That's the color green." Yamaha smiles

"Green!" Hime look at it. She look fascinated by it. She pick out a pink star shape squeaky toy.

"That's the color pink, another cute color." Yamaha says.

"oi kid!" Luann look at her as she pull out another item. "Shouldn't you learn that from school?"

"What's that?"

'Oh boy.' Yamaha as he nervously rubs the back of his head and made a look at Luann that basically saying he'll handle this, "Well a school is where kids go to learn and earn knowledge about somethings about the world. They teach you about colors, math, reading and well mostly anything to be exact." He pointed out and smiles, "Like now I'm teaching about some of the colors you want to know about."

"why would anyone go there? I know a lot of things!"

"Right! Like how you know about colors!" Luann smirk.

"At least I know how to jump you, a over grown adult who keeps falling for my tricks twice already."

Luann look over at Yamaha that's said, 'Do something about her.'

"Okay. You might have a point but sometimes going to school is different. For example, what's 3 + 2?"

"5!" Hime answer.

"Good, good. 2 + 2?"

"4, why are we doing math? Do you not know math?" Hime tilt her head.

"We know math!" Luann roll her eyes at her.

"Do you not know how math start?"

"Oh please and you do?"

"I can tell you if you like!"

"Luann please." Yamaha made a pleading look, "Okay, how does math start to you?"

Hime grin at him as if he just walk into her trap. " Before the modern age, knowledge spread worldwide possible around 3000 BC." Hime turn to Luann, "You do know what BC. Stand for right?"

"Yamaha!" She turn to him with her teeth grit together. Trying not to get angry at her.

Hime smile a little, "the Mesopotamia states of Sumer, Akkad, Assyria , Ancient Egypt, began using Arithmeti, algebra and geometry for purposes of taxation, commerce, trade and also patterns in nature," she turn to Luann again, "Meaning calendar."

"Are you doing that to piss me off!" She growl.

"Impressive. Your actually are right but do answer this question for me next?"

"What?" Hime ask him. The waitress hand them another order of the Big dipper buger. Hime right away ate it.

"What's the most important thing you ever wanted in life?" He asked softly. The scene start to change to another memory but it flashes back to the current memory.

"huh? What's with these questions?"

"I just wanted to know you more. Your a very unique kid to actually escape and bypass police at such a young age." He says calmly as he watches her eat and sighs, "I..I can tell your not too comfortable about being around adults..."

Hime look at him, then look at Luann. She slowly chew her food then swallow it as she slowly eat some cheesey fries. She look down at her food for a while.

"I....I don't like them." Hime's voice turn into a light whispered. "A lot of adults are bad. But, there are some goods one. But they die. And Ann left me. She never came back."

Yamaha looked at her with surprise and sadness shown in his eyes, "I..I'm sorry little one. You are right, there actually bad people out there in the world, and it's sad that the good ones leave the world so early because of someone else's evil..."

Luann groan a bit as she watches Hime slowly eat her food. She sigh heavily a bit, "What about yours folks? Where are your parents?"

Hime look at her with wide eyes. She almost choke on her foot when Luann ask her that. "My Dad die when I was conceive. I don't know where my mum is at."

Yamaha quietly sucks in a breath and rubs his face. He watched Hime eat. Poor kid. It's no wonder why she's living in these streets. She must have dealt with things all on her own. Especially after what the doctor said. What did this have to go through on her own. "You mentioned Ann? Who is that? Is she a friend?"

Hime lick the cheese off her fingers, "She's a nice doctor! She took care of me along with my brothers and sisters." She told him.

"There are more of you? Oh joy!" Luann groan of the thought of it. Hime look at her sadly. Her ears flop down and she stare at her food.

"No! No more. They all die." Hime told them. "Everyone is dead." She told them. She look at them with wide eyes. Dead! She thought when she try to remember. Her head hurts her. She start to panic again. The thought of how they die is all her fault. She can hear them yelling in the play room. The fire spread around. Hime saw the doors in front of her. She can see it being push by burnt arms and hands. The fire grew between the cracks. The play room is lock but a chain. She can hear them scream at her. Asking for help. Hime didn't know what to do. She didn't how to help them. Her panic took over. She cover her ears when she heard them screaming out to her.

"Stop it! Please!" Hime cry. She kneel down from hearing the screams. She didn't want to see this. She didn't want to hear this. She want this to stop. She want to wake up.

"MAKE IT STOP!" She yelled.

"Hime! Calm down!" A gentle British voice told her. She knew that voice. She have heard it before. A soft gentle hand pull her in. He hold her tightly to calm down. Hime smell a sweet scent that remind her soft sweet grass with wildflowers.

"Dream!" She cry. "It hurts! It really hurts! My head hurts. My heart hurts. These nightmares won't stop!"

"I know. But you need to calm down. Your hurting the humans that are helping you." He told her.

"It won't stop!" She cry to his shoulders. "None of it won't stop."

"It's okay." He told her gently. "Your safe." He told her. The scene change to Dream's throne room. Hime look around to see that everything still look the same. She remembered this place. She have been here before. She knows she have, it was during her comma.

"Your majesty, we have a bit of... Oh!" A beautiful young woman with elf like ears came to the throne room. She wore round glasses. And fancy trench coat. "I was not expecting any guest sir. I'll make some tea and ..Oh!" Hime right away hug the woman tightly.

" Lucienne!" She smile happily. "It's so good to see you!"

"I'm sorry but have we met?" She look confused.

"Can you not remember an old friend, Lucienne?" Dream smile a little. Lucienne widen her eyes in surprise. She pull Hime away to look at her round golden eyes.

"Hime!"

"Yeah!"

"My, look at you! Your all grown up! And your wings! They are ravishing!"

"Thank you!"

"Why are you here? Are you in another comma?" She sound worry.

"I brought her here!" Dream told Lucienne. He look at Home with concern stern look. "Her power's have been a bit unstable in the awaken world. I have to bring her here to help calm her down."

Hime look at him surprised. She had no idea screetch... No, was it screech she had. No, those powers earlier. She used, "diamond!" She spoke. She gasp as her memories all came in at once.

"Hime!" Lucienne look at her with worried.

"I remember! I remember everything!" She hold her head. "I don't understand. Why do I remember everything? Why are all memories are finally coming back to me?" She look at Dream. "What did you do?"

"What I had to."

"Like what? What did you do?" Hime sound upset.

"When you first came my domain. Did you remember how you came here?" He ask her.

"I .. I follow Matthew by accident."

"Exactly."

"What does this have to do with anything?"

"When you woke up, I had to take fragments of memories from you."

"What? Why?"

"So you wouldn't remember this place."

"DREAM!" Hime yelled at him angerily. "You have no right to do that!"

"I have every right. If you were to wake up and remember. You wouldn't have live a normal life. So I did what I could. You are only allowed to have these memories in your dreams. To help you slowly prepare for what's coming."

"What do you mean?" Hime look at him.

He look at her with a small prideful look on his face. He look at her golden eyes. He still remember the curious child that walk into his throne room asking all sorts of questions. He can see the sweet innocent child in her eyes. It's her but she's all grown up now.

"What do you mean?" Hime ask him again.

"There is something out there that are killing dreams. Something dark. Something that I've never seen before."

"If it's in your realm, wouldn't that mean it's your source of power?"

"No. It's in your realm."

"So what do you want me to do?"

"I need you to help me again and in return, I'll restore some of your memories."

"Some? Why not all?"

"I can not do that."

"You took my memories, Dream. My memories!"

"I'm sorry. But I saw what type of life you had. A child like you shouldn't have gone through that. I thought, maybe. Just maybe. You could live a happy normal life. A life you should have."

"I can't believe you did that. Without my consent!"

"I was rewarding you, from helping me."

"Dream I told you. I don't want anything from you. I just... Wanted you to be my friend. That's all."

He gently smile at her. He pet her head gently as if he's a small child. She look into his dark black eyes. He always look to be in pain. But this time, he look genuinely happy to see her.

"I am truly sorry. But I only wanted what was best for you."

"Yeah next time, ask me. Please. I don't like being baby."

"My apologies," he lean in to whispered to her ear. "Little Miss."

"Stop that!" Hime lightly punch him on the shoulder. She blush a bit. She hated when he calls her that. Being treated as a child by him made her feel bitter.

"So tell me little Miss. What have you been up to the last time I saw you!"

"Oh!..um, well...not much really. Just trying to make it through life in one piece." Hime says with a nervous chuckle.

"uh-huh." He sat on the steps of his throne room. "I was more surprised you join a hero school. Funny, I always thought you wanted to be a detective." He look at her with a soft chuckle.

"Heh..hehe...yeah that was the plan at first but hey! Life will throw a curve ball at you unexpectedly." She chuckles as well.

"I know my apologize is not enough. But I really do need your help."

Hime looked at him with a soft look, "Okay, you said someone is killing dreams? But how?"

"I do not know how. I first felt it a while back. They were in deep sleep but still awake. Hallucinations is what your people call them. But they were in deep sleep. As if their nightmares were coming true to them. It force them to commit crimes. Then later, thier heart explode. Killing them in their sleep."

Hime was surprised at this as she thought about it, "interesting. There still awake, but in a deep sleep...and yet their having nightmares/hallucinations that comes true and it makes them commit crimes then kills them within their sleep by destroying their hearts?!"

"Yes. I've never seen anything like this. This much power, I've only felt it before from you. But this is different. It feels unnatural."

"From...me?"

"You posseses a very unique power Little Miss." He gently smile at her. "More unique then the others."

Hike blinked in surprise and never really thought that much of it before

"But now, I am sensing something more. Something far more evil." He explained to her.

Hime that about it more, "Where? Where did it all start?

Dream look at her with a heavy sigh, "At first I didn't think any of it at first. But it first happened in Switzerland. Then it moved to Greece. Then China. And then Japan. So far, there have been five people with the same case. Only two of them survived."

"Hmmmm." She thought about this for a moment, "It seems to be moving quickly..."

"This have been happening since you've awaken from your comma." He told her.

Hime immediately looked at him with surprise, "A-after I woke up?...do you think..."

"It's not you. I can assure you." He told her to ease herself.

Hime smiles a little but she still felt uncomfortable with the idea that it might've been her. A raven fly down next to Dream.

"Sir!" He caw at him. "Sorry to bother but we have bit of a situation!"

"Matthew, Aren't you going to say hello?" Dream look at him with a small stern look for being rude. Matthew look at Hime in a bit surprised. She smile at him a little, "Hello my pretty bird." Matthew fly towards her on her shoulder. He cuddles up to her. She kiss his head happily.

"Now then, what's the situation?"

"Oh! Right! We have another one!" Matthew sound scared.

Dream, Matthew, Lucienne, and Hime all walk into a dream. They were in a old mess up house. The place look burn up. Hime look out through the window to see a wasteland.

"Is this a nightmare?" Hime ask him.

"Lucienne, please wait outside." Dream ask her. "Matthew, you should go with her as well."

"Sir? What's wrong?" Matthew sound worried.

"Something does not feel right." Dream looks around.

"Yeah....something feels off." Hime also looks around, feeling a very off vibe once they stepped into the dream.

"Sir we should leave!" Matthew said. Dream look around and look look at his two subjects. Lucienne nod her head at him as if she understands. Matthew stay with Dream and Hime. "Little Miss, I have to ask you to used your power when it comes."

"My power..which one in particular?" She asks with a thoughtful look.

He look at her with a small smile. "you know which one. I need you to hold off just to see what they see." He said. He heard a creak sound from upstairs.

"Just a reminder, it's been a long time since I've used them. I don't know I can!" Hime look a bit nervous.

"I know you can." He lightly smile at her.

Hime heard the sounds, she thought about what he said and nodded.Dream walk up the wooden creak stairs. He slowly walk up with enough cautious. Hime was slowly going up the stairs with him, looking around their surroundings as she realized how dark the house was in this person dream.When they walk up the stairs. A door stood in the middle. It's the only door there. Nothing else but three walls. Hime can sense a very bad vibe coming from the door, she didn't like the feeling as she knew something bad was going to happen behind that door.

"um sir. Let's not go to that door!" Matthew sound scared. Dream ignore him. He look at Hime with a nod. He walk towards the door but the more they walk, it seem far.

"It looks like it's moving away from us? Does it not want us in?" Hime says in a whisper.

"This is how Nightmares work, little Miss. It's trying to scared us." He explained to her.

"Well, it's working!" Matthew gets on Hime's shoulders scared.

"Hmmm." Hime moved a bit more forward than Dream as she walked closer to the door.

The more they move the further it went. But they noticed how they grew closer, the door seem more off then ever. Almost like an illusion. The walls all seem small. The more they reach out to it. The smaller it seems. They both crawl to the small doo. "If something Happens. I want you to wake her up. Matthew."

"Heh, I think I'll manage. What about you Dream?"

"I am the master of this world. I would not be harm."

Dream open the door. They were back in the living room. But a lot different. It wasn't abondon or shatter. It have furniture that look new. The house look new. It seem like a happy home. "Stay alert you two."

"Okay." Hime gently pets Matthew as she begins to look around. The place itself nearly looked like it was an old painting that soon a got a fresh new coat of paint to spark it up.

Dream look around. He find it strange that he haven't seen the dreamer yet. Something doesn't feel right to him. He look around in a bit panic to see Hime and Matthew in one room.

Hime was standing in a room, it looked like that of a child's room. Mostly a girl's based off the cute teddy bears that was laying around, it's wallpaper being the color pink with white flowers painted on the bottom and colorful swirls on the top ceiling.

"I really don't like this feeling! Maybe we should go back with Morpheus!" Matthew told Hime.

"Wait..."

"What?" Matthew sound scared. "What is it?"

Hime looked around the room when she heard the sound of a child giggling. Letting her ears perked up and twitch to the sound, she tilts her head and moved forward.Matthew can hear it too. His feather's perk up in shiver.

"Um I think I heard Morpheus calling us. Maybe we should go back!" He sound nervous.

Hime listen more for the sound as she heard a soft knock on wood coming from close by. She looked around the room and noticed the only two things that were wood. A child's toy chest box and a wooden closet, another knock was heard in between as it could've came from both. Hime listen closely to know which one.

"Hime can we go now?" Matthew beg her.

Hime bites her bottom lip as much as she wanted to know what's going on, she didn't want to disturb anything or upset something further but she couldn't find herself moving on yet as she wanted to know what happened to this room. There was this off vibe about it, despite being cute and child friendly.The heard a loud creak sound coming from behind them. Matthew flap his wing out of fear. The back wall seem dark with shadows. Making it harder for them to see anything. It look to be nothing. A small red ball roll towards them til it stop by Hime's talons.Hime tensed a little as she looked down and picks up the ball.

"you shouldn't be here." The child's voice sound scared. They were no where to be seen. The child sound scared and week.

"I-I'm sorry to intrude...but you don't have to be afraid...I won't hurt you." She says calmly and softly enough for the child to know she meant no harm.

"Speak for yourself?" Matthew caw.

Hime shush Matthew and holds the ball in her hand, "It's alright. I promise I won't hurt..."

"Not you I'm scared of." The child's voice echo around the room.

"Then who? Who hurt you..."

The child appeared next to Hime. They're all skin and bones. Almost like a skeleton. Dark circles under their eyes. They barley have any hair.

"The Boogie Man!" They touch Hime's hand. Her eyes turn Gastly white as soon she was touch. She could see everything. Matthew caw in worried.

Hime saw flashes of different images playing in her head: a little girl, a dark image of a large silhouette, blood and a scream echoing from the images.

The images all flashes through her eyes. She saw everything passing through. She can feel the unbearable pain that this girl went through. The pain spread through her body. Flashbacks hit her like punches. Reminding her of how the pain start.

Hime felt her body go into overdrive as the pain rocked her off her feet as she witnessed and felt the girls pain all at once.After going through a marathon of pain. Hime woke up, but it wasn't her awake. Not physically. She can see what seem to be a pool of blood. The girls blood what it seems. She see a alleyway. She was look straight out to be a road. It's dark. But she caught a whitf of the smell, smell like. She can see a building. It look to be some kind of a pet store. She couldn't move. She couldn't speak. But she heard two voices.

"Aaaaw! Look at all these pretty skin!" 16 sound happy as she look at the corpse of a boy. "He really took care of his skin." She hold up a skinning knife in her hand. "I must have it."

"Stop waisting time! Hurry up and chop the heads off already. Father needs them when they're still good."

Hime eyes widen a bit as she recognizes that voice, she heard it before--no, she fought with her before!16 laughs happily as she skin the flesh off. Once she was done. She chop the head off with her scythe.

"Are you keeping that body? She's barley breathing." 16 look at the dead half dead body. She made a face that sent Hime shiver in fear. The look on 16's face is precisely hinduous.

"I want her pretty skin. So so pretty. Let me have it!" She beg.

"No! You know I need a host to survive. Since my venom is slowly killing her. She'll need me to live as well."

"Eeeeeh, brother your so greedy." 16 puff her cheeks. "I want her beautiful skin."

"You can have her when I'm done with her."

Hime felt her heart slamming into her chest, she couldn't move or do anything to say the least. Hime knew 16 was fuck up but for the life of her this was too much!There was a heavy pull that pull Hime back. It felt like she was on a rollercoaster but only backwards. Hime felt as if the world around her was going in reverse with whatever that had pull her back, she felt the cold air leave her lungs as everything around her begin to spin downwards.Hime felt as if the world around her was going in reverse with whatever that had pull her back, she felt the cold air leave her lungs as everything around her begin to spin downwards.

"Hime, wake up! Wake up!" Matthew caw at her. He peck at her cheeks out of worried. Morpheus burst the door open to see Hime on her knees. Her eyes are ghostly white. She hold a red ball in her hands.

"Matthew what happened?"

"I don't know! There was this creepy kid! And then a ball! And I can't seem to wake her up? Is that even possible? Can she dream in a dream?"

Hime wasn't for sure which way she was going as she continues to watch through the girls eyes, her body becoming heavy each moment of heavy yet shaky breath she makes.The childs room start to riot through the walls. Everything turning moss and black. Morpheus grabs Hime. Carrying her in bridal style. He start to run downstairs but he heard a little child's cry. He turn around to see a very skinny, pale girl. He look at the child in shock. He held out his hand to her. But she shook her head.

"I can't." She cry. The girl look at him with tears.

"I can help you." He told her.

The girl was slowly holding out her hand to him. But her hand turn to stone. The girl saw this and begin to panic. She she saw how her body was slowly turn to stone. She scream at Him till her whole body turn to pure stone. Morpheus look at the girl with pure sadness. He can feel his tears burning his eyes.

"Sir we don't have enough time!" Matthew told him. Morpheus look at Hime who still seem unconscious. He quickly run down the stairs to leave the collapse home. Matthew follow him down till they were out of that house. They watch as the house slowly collapse down to the ground.

"Sir?" Matthew watch his master let a single tear fall from his face.

"Her dreams. They're gone." He whispered.

Hime was unconscious in Dreams arms as everything around them was slowly collapsing from the house. Hime gasp when she woke up. She look around to be in a black void. The ground look to be a black water. She knew where she was. This is her dream. But how can she be dreaming in a dream. Nothing seem to make sense anymore.

"Welcome back Six."

She narrow her eyes at him. "Devil."

He smile widely at her, showing off his sharp teeth. His red eyes smile at her. Its as if he knew she would be coming here. He struggle to move through the chains.

"Why don't you come closer my old friend."

"I rather not."

"Still afraid of me I see." He smile at her.

"I'm not afraid of anything." She glare at him.

"If that's true, then why are you here?"

"I don't know." She avoid him.

"I think you do." He lick his bottom lip. "You need my help."

Hime look over to him but avoid him. She didn't want to admit it but she did. She's not going to tell him that. The vision that she had. She knew the smell, she seen where they're located. She have seen that pet shop before. 16 is the one who commit the crimes that her uncle mentioned. But that other voice. She knew that voice from somewhere but where? And "Father", it couldn't be him. It's impossible for him to be alive. She have kill him. She was sure of it. Her and Devil made sure he burn in those flames along with his lab. Hime look at Devil with a bit worried look.

"I think Father is alive." She look at him. Devil's black and gray skin look to be white. His eyes seem to have widen.

"Are you sure?"

"16 and someone else mention it. They are committing murders."

"16 is alive?" Devil seem more worried now. "you remember everything?"

"for now. Morpheus erase my memories so I can live happy. But I know when I wake up I won't remember any of it."

"Hmp, I see. Then I guess I can only lead a hand for now."

"A hand?" Hime look at him coldly. He grin at her wickedly, knowing it was a bad joke consider how her friend went through.

"Too soon?" He laughs.

"Yes." She grumble at him.

"I can only help you so far. But you need to let me go."

"No."

He shakes angrily to be released, "Dam it Six! Let me out!"

"No. I have not yet forgiven you. Not after what you have done."

"Six!" He call out to her. Hime left him alone. She woke up from a bed next to her is Matthew who seem to peck at her.

"Caw! Your awake!" He sound happy. "Well not really awake but still your okay!"

"Are you all right. Hime?"

"Not really. But I'll managed." She gets up with a heavy groan. She sigh as she look up at Morpheus. "I know who whose destory dreams."

"You've seen their face?" Morpheus ask her.

"No, but I recognize one of their voices. The other one, I don't know." Hime told him as she comb her hair back with her fingers. "One of them is 16. An experiment, like me. She's one of my sisters."

"Wait, there are more of you?" Matthew caw in confusion.

"I thought they were all dead, along with ... Father." Her voice croak a little when she mentioned of him. The very thought of him shiver down her spine.

"So this is your affairs." Morpheus ask her.

"Apparently so." Hime groan. "Some family reunion."

Morpheus can see how it bother her. Her body shiver a bit but she seem worried and scared about this "Father" she seem so hard not call him. He can see the fear in her eyes. The fear that this "father" have put her through. But he knew once she wakes up, she'll forget all of this. Morpheus walk towards her and hug her tightly. She seem surprised when he did this.

"Um, what are you doing?"

"Showing affection. Isn't what you mortals do?"

"Um yes but it's wierd coming form you."

"Hmm!" He grins a little but he pull away to look at her and his smile soon fade a bit as he sighs softly.

"I want you to know, that I'm always here. Don't ever be afraid to Dream--to dream of a future that you can make into a reality tomorrow." He says softly.

"Wait, was that an advice? Are you giving me advice?" Hime look at him with a sinister smirk. "What happened to I cannot play favors towards humans?"

Dream chuckled a little and stood up and gently pats her head, "It's just a thought." He looked back to where the house once was, "But...this 'sister' of yours...I hope you can bring an end to her, along with your 'Father'." He says as he had this soft yet worried look in his eyes.

"She wasn't the only one. Someone else is with her. But I could not see thier face. Morpheus! If I go back to the awaken. I won't remember this, well I?" Hime look at him with a slight disappointment. "I won't know if I can be of any help to you."

Dream softly smiles before kneeling down to one knee and pats her head again. "It'll be alright..." he tells her again before pulling her into another embrace, "There'll always be away...just no right at the moment. But you have been of great help--you pinned pointed who it is behind the terror..." he says as he hugs her to him, "...you might not remember once you awake but..." he pauses for a minute before holding out his hand and showing her a small butterfly resting in his palm. It was blue with white little speck son it as it slightly moves about.

Hime looks at the butterfly with a small smile. It fly around her but she look at Dream with a frown, "I'm not going to remember you. Am I?"

Dream softly half smiles and nods. Hime wipe her tears with her hands.

"Now your being unfair!" Her voice croak. "Now I have to say goodbye all over again!"

Dream softly chuckled at this as he understood where she was coming from. His forehead touch her's. He lightly smile at her. "Goodbyes are never forever, my child. We'll meet each other again. And you won't forget me. You'll have glimpse of me. Like a dream. You'll know of me but like a distant memory." He told her as he wipe her tears. "You have to wake up."

"But!"

"Wake up!" He told her wi5 a soft kind voice to her ear.
