• Izumia heads over to Takeo’s place and on the way she thinks. “What was with that dream? How did that person know my name? It feels like I have been there but, I do not remember.” Izumia yells right in front of Takeo’s house. “And why did that person call me Malady?!” Nakuto looks up and sees Izumia. Izumia looks at Nakuto and blushes. “Uh hi, I am here.” Nakuto laughs. “I can see that come on in.” Izumia walks in. Takeo walks down the stairs. Takeo laughs. “I heard you yell but, what did you say?” Izumia blushes even more. “I had a weird dream last night.” Takeo sits down in a chair and Izumia sits down on the couch. Takeo smiles and says. “I have plenty of time.” Izumia explains the whole thing. “The thing is that last night in my dream I went to place with a beautiful lake and the sun shining down on it. With the sun it made the lake shimmer. I could feel it all. It was like I was physically there. I do not know how but I was. Well, next thing I heard was a person’s voice and the person knew my name and he called me Malady Izumia. I found that a little awkward. Also, it felt like I have been there before, even though I do not remember it at all.” Takeo looked at her and smiled. “That is interesting. Well, Izumia I’ll be back in an hour.” Izumia looked and said. “Ok.” Takeo left and Izumia nodded off to sleep by accident. Takeo just went outside and starts to talk to Nakuto with a stern tone in his voice. “Nakuto, I think this one is her. She has been to the dream world just last night.” Nakuto stands up. “What do we do now Master Takeo?” Takeo looked at Izumia through the window. “I really do not know at the moment. All we can do is watch over her.” Izumia wakes up to the smell of spaghetti. Izumia says in a soft tone. “I smell…I smell…I smell food!!!” Izumia shot up on the couch. Takeo smiles and laughs and says. “It should be done soon.” Nakuto comes in with the food. “Here you guys go. Spaghetti and meatballs is what is for dinner. Izumia eats it up and about an hour later she decides to o home. “Sorry I fell asleep here.” Takeo smiles and says. “It is ok. How about I walk you home?” Izumia looks up. “Ok.” Izumia smiles. About ten minutes later they get close to Izumia’s house and the air starts to get thick with smoke. Takeo coughs and says. “What is with all this smoke, there must be a fire somewhere.” They come close to the street that Izumia lives on and a fire truck speeds by. Izumia gets worried. “Do not turn left.” Right after Izumia said the truck turns left. Izumia yells. “No!” Izumia runs up the street and her house is engulfed in flames. “Mom and Dad where are you.” A fireman comes up to Izumia and puts his hand on her shoulder. The fireman asks. “Are you their daughter?” Izumia turns around and Takeo runs up as well. Izumia sees her parents and gets relieved. “Thank goodness they are safe.” The fireman says. “They have memory lose and they do not remember a thing. Do you have a place to stay?” Izumia looks down. “I do not know where to go.” Takeo smiles and puts his hand on Izumia’s shoulder. “You can stay with me.” Izumia looks at Takeo. “Thank you.” Izumia continues to talk to the fireman and Takeo looks toward an alley and sees the two men that were chasing Izumia. Takeo thinks to himself. “They must have started this. They are messengers.” Takeo looks back over to Izumia. “Come on lets go back to my place. We will visit your parents at the hospital first thing tomorrow morning, ok.” Takeo smiles. Izumia smiles as well and says, “Ok.”
