Kaoru

I watched the younger three slowly fall asleep, while me and Makoto stayed up later. Shinva was laying on an extra mattress that Makoto had, right next to Yukio. But Hikaru was asleep on the couch, and he looked really cute. I wondered why he doesn't have a girlfriend yet. He never talked about dating anybody. His ruffled blonde hair was spread out on the cushion, a strange look of longing on his face. Makoto got up.

“I’m gonna get us banana ooyoo.” He walked to the kitchen. After a few minutes, Hikaru started mumbling.

“Kaoru...what?” he asked, shocking me because I thought he had woken up. Then I noticed he didn't open his eyes. He continued to talk in his sleep.

“Um... oh…” when he said that, a look of complete satisfaction and happiness came over his face. All of his tensed muscles relaxed, and he stopped mumbling. I was still staring at him in disbelief when Makoto walked back in.

“What are you doing?” he asked.

“He was talking. In his sleep. I guess it surprised me.” I explained. Then Hikaru did it again.

“No! Wait! Please…” he said desperately. Makoto sat next to me to watch.

“I shouldn't have told him. I shouldn't have revealed it. My life is ruined.” he said, sobbing. He woke up shortly after, noticing me and Makototo were watching him, he tried to stop crying, but it wouldn't work. He started to tremble a bit. His breathing sounded weird.Yukio woke up, noticed Hikaru, and rushed over, putting her arm around him. I noticed he was clutching his stomach. He tried to tell Yukio, but he was sobbing too hard, he couldn't. He threw up on the floor.

I was following them to the bathroom, concerned and surprised. Yukio left him in to finish throwing up, Makoto was cleaning the mess, and Shinva was sleeping soundly. Yukio walked over to me.

“What happened?” she asked, worried. I heard a door closing, but I assumed it was Makoto.

“Well, he was talking in his sleep, and then he woke up, and threw up.” I avoided any accusations. His face turned slightly pink in rage.

I turned around, and Makoto was still cleaning.

“Have you been here while we were talking? Didn't leave and come back?” I asked him.

“No…” he answered, confused. I turned on my heel to the bathroom door. It was now closed. I turned the knob.

“Locked.” I informed them. I rattled it, but the only reply was his sobs. Yukio pushed me out of the way.

“Are you okay? Can you unlock the door?” she asked in a soft voice. No answer. Next method. Makoto walked forward.

“GET OUT HERE!” he yelled. The sobs became stronger, and we all backed away from the door.

“Do you know what he was talking about in his sleep?” Yukio questioned. I hesitated. I opened and closed my mouth several times before telling them.

“Me.” This shocked both of them. I heard a little gasp. It was Shinva.

“Shinva!” I scolded. Shinva got up, and walked to the door, and said something that sounded like

“Mở ra” The door cracked open, revealing Hikaru’s tearstained face. Shinva slid inside and locked the door again. They began speaking in a dialect I was not familiar with. Finally, Hikaru said something in English only I could hear, I was closest to the door.

“I was dreaming about Kaoru. He-he agreed, but then there was another one where he did the exact opposite.”

“Oh. maybe it's just stress of what he would say if you did ask him.”

Ask me what? And why was he scared to ask it? I thought to myself. It really didn't matter if they switched to english or not. This was all gibberish to me. I was curious, but I was more worried. Yukio looked a bit hurt, because of all the fun things he made, just to be hurled back up his throat.
