I wake up with a massive headache once again. Not to mention, I feel like I've just been hit by a train. My bones ache. My mind feels dull. My body feels on fire and not in a good way. My inners burn. 

"Light, you got to stop disappearing." Ryuk tells me.

"What?" I cough.

"Whoa. What happened to you? You look and smell terrible." Ryuk says.

"Thanks, I feel terrible as well." I wince as I sit up. 

I turn on the Tv. The unsettling feeling still chokes me. I feel like I'm chocking on that bird again. Dreams. Those were violent and unsettling dreams. They were horrifying and they seemed so real. 

"Murder! There's been murder!" The news lady says.

My eyes widen. 

"Hohoho." Ryuk chuckles.

A murder? What? Images were shown. Blood soaked. Gunshots. Fire. Like the same security tape. There were more bodies. My dream... the bloodshed.... the screams. Were they criminals? Did I kill them? I draw back. I see a brief image of a witness report. The figure. Black cloaked. Red eyes that seemed to pierce into my soul. I turn off the TV in a startle. 

"Light? Are you up?" Mom asks coming in.

"I don't think I can go to school." I cough.

"Oh my, you sound awful. Sit down let me get a thermometer." Mom says.

I sit down on my bed. I can't face school.

"Ryuk, do you believe in ghosts?" I ask.

"Heh. You can all a Shinigami a ghost. So yes. I've met a couple Yokai. Nasty things." Ryuk answers. 

I hiss as sweat pours down my head. Mom comes back and takes my temperature.

"Yikes. It's pretty bad. 102, you definitely need to rest. I have a meeting with some friends. Your sister has school. You'll be fine here?" She asks.

"Yeah." I cough.
