There was a lonely little boy who was all alone in a cold, dark room. He'd been in there for days, occasionally getting food and water. Not knowing why he was in there, just that his mother had slapped him a few times, and then roughly said, "You're a very disobedient child!" Even though he didn't know what he'd done, just that he disobeyed somehow, he sat there.

The first day, he tried crying and screaming out, " I'm sorry, Mommy! Please forgive me! I won't ever do it again! I promise!" His only answer was silence. On the second and third day, an occasional "Please!" or "I'm sorry!" was screamed or cried out, but again, silence answered him. Now, tired from even more lack of food and wter, his voicehoarse from thos first couple of days, he just sat there, alone andd afraid of the dark...

The scene slowly shifts. It's a much older version of that little boy, and he's kissing his one and only girlfriend. His father- whom he'd never really met before- came up to him, forcing him to hang out with him for ten days. He handles that situation farely good- especially after the mother whom he'd always loved, but rejected that love, came and terrorized him and his family. He sees his father shoot at his mother, hitting her ear, then again to try and kill her, but he stops him. He remembers being sucked down into the darkness, but saves her life none the less...

Again, the scene shifts, and he's been told he's going to be a father! He's shocked, puzzled, but after thinking about it, he's happy. His own baby! Plus, he loves the mother more than anything on earth, and they're planning on getting married soon- now that her father approves! They arrange the wedding, and it's very nice. The ceremony is over, and he kisses his bride. Now they are man and wife. A couple months later...

The scene shifts yet again. This time, it's a little girl whose daddy's always hitting her. Oddly enough, the daddy looks very familiar. Who could it be? Who is he? There's a woman in this scene, too. He hits her more than the little girl because the woman is always protecting the girl from the dad. Why in the world is this guy hitting a woman and a baby, who has a countless number of bruises, blood stains on her clothes (from mostly her mother, some of hers), and lots of cuts from falling into things? The girl starts crying because her daddy knocked out her mommy and turned toward her with an evil look in his eyes...


BEEP-BEEP! BEEP-BEEP! BEEP-BEEP!

Arima jumped up in bed, and looked around frantically. That wasn't me in that dream, was it? It couldn't have been because I would never hit Yukin and our child!"

Yukino stretched as much as her rounded out stomach would allow her to. "Good morning!" she said sleepily.

"Yeah." he replied, afraid that his dream would come true.

"Something wrong?" she asked him, her female intuition picking up some very depressing signals from him.

"N-no! Why would there be?" he asked hastily.

"I don't know. You tell me!"

"Just a really scary dream, hopefully. Just a scary dream!"


Hope you liked it! It wasn't the greatest thing, but oh well...
