    "She's not-" Ai couldn't finished because Shi was jumping with joy. "See? He thinks we're siblings!" Shi yelped happily then running off. Ai sighed. "Annoying little demon..." She mumbled crossly. Ai turned back to takara and smiled. "Im probably the only normal spirit you'll meet here" she giggled.

    [align=center][fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify][font=trebuchet][size=9pt]"I wouldn't be surprised..." Takara murmured softly. It was rather awkward...after all, he could only meet her whenever he dreamt of her. That's when he could feel that he was slowly slipping away - waking up. His cranky cousin awoke him with a splash of water, "Why I-" But he shut up real quickly when he realized it was Minari, one of his classmates not his cousin Brune.


    "Hey, your late." Minari stated flatly, he zoomed out of his bed and quickly got ready for school and dashed off to 2nd period after checking his watch...


    ooc; time skip!

    Ooc: timeskip!


    Ic: Ai sat in her realm, sewing something together with a thin silver thread. She wanted to make something that would let her travel to the real world for the first time in...how long again? Ai had stopped counting. But she hoped that the heart demon would let her go with her own personality and not ordering her to take Shi with her to balance the emotions. Ai sighed as she worked.

    [align=center][fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify][font=trebuchet][size=9pt]Takara grimaced as he tried to push down his hair, yet it resisted his furious swipes. Glowering he snatched up one of his cousins comb and brushed, brushed, and brushed. Yet his hair was still unkempt, he began to realize that he had already given up on his hair. What's next, school? He shuffled into bed quietly, what did it matter to him anyways?


    Back in the realms he began to stumble upon darkness once more, most definitely he'll find her he just knew it.

    Ai stood and stared at her door. It was much different then the other spirits. Her door was pale pink with deep crimson designs, the odd thing about her door was the shape. Ai stood and place a hand on the heart shaped door and sighed. She hoped that her surprise would be finished soon. Ai wanted to visit the real world more than anything. This hope sent curious thoughts swirling through her head. What year was it? What does the world look like? Where will she end up? All these thoughts made Ai nervous and excited to visit the world many have left behind.

    [align=center][fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify][font=trebuchet][size=9pt]He then noticed Ai near a door, paying no mind to it he walked right over and placed his hand on her shoulder. Hoping to appease her surprise if any. But dark thoughts clouded his mind as he thought about his parents and what they would say if they knew what he was doing. "Hey...Ai."

    Ai jumped a bit then turned to face him. "Oh your here!" She said as she stopped reaching her the door. Ai looked around then over at the silver string. She ran over and began to hide the surprise. Ai's hair bounced around as she swiftly grabbed the bundle and stashed it away.

    [align=center][fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify][font=trebuchet][size=9pt]Takara stared determinedly at Ai, she was acting rather conspicuous and it left him rather baffled. "I think...we might..." Sighing he nervously ran his hand through his hair before a smile broke on his lips. "Have you ever wanted to take care of your own pet?" Cracking a grin Takara let out a soft chuckle.

    "Pet?" She said, tilting her head. It's been such a long time since she had been to the real world, she forgot what most things were. Ai looked at him rather confused when he asked, trying to understand what he was saying while also keeping her surprise hidden.

    [align=center][fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify][font=trebuchet][size=9pt]"Yep. A companion to keep you company whenever I'm not around." Takara said cheerfully before slinging his arm around her shoulders. "What would you like? A dog? Cat? Maybe a parakeet or two?"

    "Well, a cat sounds nice." Ai said with a smile. Her violet eyes shimmered cutely as she twirled a lock of her curly hair. "How would you even get a cat in here? This is only a dream..." Ai said looking up at takara.

    [align=center][fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify][font=trebuchet][size=9pt]Yes a dream this place was...couldn't he just dream a cat? Wouldn't it appear before his eyes if he longed for it? "Maybe..." and poof - a mutated cat appeared before them making Takara wrinkle his nose in frustration.

    Ai giggled at his attempt. "To create something, you'll need silver string." She said as she took a small bundle of silver thread out of her pocket. "Shape it into what you want." Ai said smiling.

    [align=center][fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify][font=trebuchet][size=9pt]Takara let out a nervous laugh, "Right - of course." He halfheartedly took the silver string and tried to form it into a cat. It was quite easy and especially since he loved making clay figures, art was something to get away from reality.

    Ai watched him create the cat from string. She was amazed at how easy and simple he made it look. Ai looked over at where her own bundle of string was hidden. She smiled a bit as she thought of the real world and how she would visit it soon.

    [align=center][fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify][font=trebuchet][size=9pt]Takara grinned at his accomplished work of art before handing it to her. "Erm...there you go." He said bashfully before his face started turning red. "I'm not that great but I hope you like it anyways."

    Ai blushed and took it gratefully before hugging him. "Thank you." She said softly, pulling away with a shy smile. Ai blinked happily and held the silver cat in her arms as it began to take the form of a real living creature.

    [align=center][fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify][size=7pt]Takara then felt something pass by him that sent shivers up his spine, his lips were now in a thin line from the chilling interaction. He'd rather not know what it was that just passed by, but he wouldn't mind taking a peek. He instead directed his attention towards Ai giving her a half smile. "No worries I get to sleep in." He told her proudly before feeling a bit sick.

    Ai was to busy staring at what was behind him. She frowned and grabbed takara's hand, pulling him through the dream realm. Ai frowned again when she heard the voice in her head, 'we had a deal, now pay up..." It growled. Ai quickened her pace as she walked.

    [align=center][fancypost borderwidth=0px][justify][size=7pt]That's when everything blacked out for Takara as he heard a chilling voice. "Human...you are not suppose to be dwindling in the dream world so blatantly and with Ai...you and her are different beings, ones to be separate." Then everything began to blur and be mushed together until he awoke gasping out loud and in shock. 'what was that?' Takara thought while trying to catch his breath.
