"Umiki-san?" asked the teachers as she roll-called.
"Hai!"
"Kojiki-san?"
"Hai!"
"Daijoubu ka?" asked Toru, keeping his voice down. Chiyoko nodded.
"Dakedo...Ryuu is still hurt..." she said. Toru nodded.
"He'll be fine." he said. Chiyoko sighed.
"I hope." she mumbled as she opened her books.

"Umiki-san!" Chiyoko turned around, carrying her books and saw Sakura.
"Oi Kokoriki-san." she said, smiling. They both sat down at a table with their lunch, Toru walking up and joining them.
"Where's Makotoki-san?" asked Sakura.
"Ryuu goes to a different school." answered Chiyoko as she began eating out of her bento box.
"Toru-kun...what are you staring at?" asked Chiyoko.
"That girl." he said, nodding his head at a girl with violet eyes and raven hair tinted the same shade as her eyes. Chiyoko looked at her and blinked.
"She's a demon." said Toru. Chiyoko nodded.
"Shield your auras and clear your minds of what you really are!" she snapped, keeping her voice low and talking through her teeth. Toru and Sakura nodded doing just that. Chiyoko sighed, also clearing her mind and, her aura completely shielded. The girl looked at them, go up out of her seat and headed over to them. Chiyoko, Toru and Sakura stayed quiet.
"I said Konnichiwa!" the girl repeated. "Hotaru des." Chiyoko stood up, as did Toru and Sakura.
"Fuck off demon." said Chiyoko, loud enough for Hotrau to hear. The three of them walked out of the cafeteria.

"Ryuu?" called Chiyoko as she walked in closing the door behind her. She walked in, closing the door behind her, and walked into the bedroom.
"Ryuu..." she sighed, smiling as she found him fast asleep on the bed. She crawled into bed next to him and hugged him close.
"Chiyoko..." he mumbled and hugged her close, nuzzling her cheek. She kissed his cheek and closed her eyes, both of them falling asleep.

"So what are we gonna play?" asked Sakura as she tuned her electric guitar.
"Song I wrote." answered Chiyoko. Toru stood at the keyboard and Ryuujiga sat at his drum set. Chiyoko stood up at the mic and Sakura hooked up her electric guitar. Chiyoko grabbed the mic and smiled, as she began to sing.
"I lie here,
Tears streaming down my face,
Wanting, waiting, hoping for your sweet embrace.
I can't bear you not being near.

What signifies you and my loss,
Are tears flowing onto my cross.
All I have left of you...
It's all I have left of you.

Can you hear my silent pleas?
Or is my deepest fear coming true?
Hoping and praying, begging on my knees,
Wishing you were here to help me through.

This inner turmoil is destroying my soul,
Hoping and praying,
That you'll save me from this cold.
But of course, it's only me saying...

Where are you?
Are you among the living?
Please tell me there's something I can do.
Something I'm not giving?

Are you alive?
Or has my worst fear come to pass?

Are you among the living?
Or has it happened...what I dread...
Are you...you amoung the dead?

I carry hope but very little,
And what my mind says is you're gone,
You're gone for good.

No longer among any mortal,
You've been taken away from me.

Why must it be?

This inner turmoil is destroying my soul,
Hoping and praying,
That you'll save me from this cold.
But of course, it's only me saying...

Where are you?
Are you among the living?
Please tell me there's something I can do.
Something I'm not giving?

Are you alive?
Or has my worst fear come to pass?

Are you among the living?
Or has it happened...what I dread...
Are you...you amoung the dead?

The one thing I dread...
Has had to come true...

You're gone...
You're...
...dead.

This inner turmoil is destroying my soul,
Hoping and praying,
That you'll save me from this cold.
But of course, it's only me saying...

Where are you?

You're gone...
You're...
...dead."

Chiyoko sighed, breathing heavily. Sakura's guitar tuned down and Ryuujiga sighed, leaning back on his chair.
"Nice job mina." said Chiyoko.

"SHINE!" yelled Chiyoko, fighting off an army of demons. "Shine!" She kept slicing through them, repeating "shine!" with every stroke. Ryuujiga was chained to a wall in the distance. She kept moving forward, but it seemed like he was moving away. All of a sudden, the demons vanished. She ran towards Ryuujiga, reaching out fro him as he moved father and father away. The ground disappeared from under her and she began to fall.
"Iya Ryuu!" she screamed. "IYA!"

"Ryuu!" she yelped as she sat up in bed, dripping in a cold sweat. She breathed heavily and gasped, swallowing. She looked next to her at Ryuujiga, who was fast asleep. She laid back down, closed her eyes, trying to fall back to sleep.
