The Sun and the Moon
"So..." En spoke, "Ryuu, what the hell happened to you?"
Ryuu groaned, "So..." he began, "I was walking home and I bumped into this girl, her name was Youko...fuck..." he made a face, "I can't think of her last name...!"
Atsushi frowned, "Hey...hey, it's okay, Ryuu..."
Ryuu sighed as he continued, "Then she got angry at me after she asked what my dream was...and I told her I wasn't the guy for her." He explained, "And then that thing happened. It hurt like hell."
Wombat hummed, "Interesting...I've never heard about those mirrors."
"Even where you're from?" Io asked and Wombat nodded, "I've heard about eyes being the windows to the soul, but mirrors? That's nonsense."
Yumoto frowned, "But why would they want to see dreams...?"
En made a face, "I mean...dreams are private and only you know what they are."
"I dream about being with an-chan at the bathhouse!"
"that all?" En smiled, "I mean, you've been clinging to Araki-san's arm lately."
Yumoto frowned, "H-hey..."
Atsushi shook his head, "En-chan..."
"What? Young love, Atsushi, he's growing up." En smiled and Yumoto turned bright red.
Ryuu laughed, "Yumoto, we won't tell him."
Io sighed, "Don't tease him, it's not nice."
Wombat sighed, "You five...this isn't time to joke about this! The world is at stake!"
"And you five don't need to deal with their stuff!" A voice hissed and Yumoto looked over, "Ah! Brothers-senpai!"
Haru growled, "We told you, you don't need to do that."
En sighed, "Listen, one of our own was attacked! What if another one is attacked?"
Ryuu growled as he walked up to Haru, "Listen, I want to fight back! You might be next, Haruhiko!"
Aki frowned, "You two..." He sighed, "their monsters are dangerous, you know."
"Yeah," Ryuu spat, "they're not petty, like you two were."
Haru grabbed Ryuu's jacket labels, "Listen! We just don't want you to get hurt, dammit!" the Beppu brother sighed, "Any one of you could have the Pegasus in your dreams! Aki and I have heard of these dream mirrors on Andromedia..."
En froze, "Wait, what?"
"We know what they are." Aki frowned, "We...we used to dream of a Pegasus growing up as most do, Pegasus is the protector of the dream world."
Yumoto frowned, "OH! I used to as well..."
Haru frowned, "Recently...?"
"Oh no." Yumoto shook his head, "I did a few weeks ago, but it wasn't anything....I was told to keep my eyes opened, but since then, no."
Haru hummed and Aki gasped, "He was warning you!" he looked at his brother, "He's probably in a child's dream now..."
Yumoto blinked, "What do you two mean?"
Haru shook his head, "Nothing! You don't worry about it. We need to keep researching."
"Oh..." Yumoto replied, "Okay...see you two!!"

Kinshiro blinked as Atsushi spoke to him, "Please, Kin-chan, we don't need to panic."
"A-At-chan....I don't mean to worry but, you said Zaou was attacked by a monster..."
Atsushi sighed, "I know, I know...but you three are busy..."
The white haired boy sighed as well, "I hate when you do this...I know why you do." Kinshiro laughed softly, "you have to promise me, if you need us, you will let us help you this time."
Atsushi frowned and looked down, "Kin-chan..."
"Please."
The blue haired boy pushed his glasses up, "Alright..."
"Sounds like a plan."

"Ah!" Yumoto smiled as he waved at Usagi, "Hi!"
Usagi grinned, "Hey Yumoto! I was heading to the arcade! Want to come?"
Yumoto hummed as he pulled his wallet out, "I'm actually broke..."
"How much?"
"I only have 180 yen."
Usagi's face fell, "Aww, how much do you get?"
"480 yen."
"You hardly make any money...Don't you run a business?"
"My brother is the main money maker," Yumoto laughed, "I just help out, and an-chan give me some of the share."
"Oh..."
Yumoto smiled, "Don't worry."
Usagi frowned, "What should we do then?"
Yumoto hummed, "Hmmm, we could get a drink?"
Usagi smiled, "Want to invite everyone?"
"Sure!" He grabbed his phone while Usagi grabbed her communicator.
"We're going to all meet up at the café!" They cried in unison and Usagi giggled as he hung his phone up, "How will you afford it?"
Yumoto winked, "Atsushi-senpai won't care to buy me something."
Usagi nodded and Yumoto looked up as they sat down, "Do you think everything will be okay?" He questioned and Usagi blinked, "Huh...?"
Yumoto sighed, "Ryuu-senpai was attacked, what about the rest of us...?"
Usagi blinked, "Yumoto...I..." she sighed as she looked down, "I hope...everything should be fine, I swear."
Yumoto nodded and perked up, "Of course." He grinned, "I mean, we're all working hard on keeping the world safe." He looked at the sun, "The sun will still rise tomorrow, time keeps flowing..."
Usagi frowned, "You're really...philosophical right now."
The boy laughed nervously, "S-sorry." He rubbed his head, "I've been thinking, which is rare, I know."
Usagi hugged Yumoto, "Hey, it's okay! We'll all be fine. Let's not stress about it, okay?"
Yumoto nodded, "Of course!" he looked over, "Ah! They're coming up the road!"
Usagi giggled and stood up, "Finally! I'm starving! I want to get a giant slice of chocolate cake!" She looked at Yumoto, "You should get something yummy too!"
"I will!" Yumoto laughed and the duo ran towards their friends, talking over one another as they explained what they were going to do.

Haru frowned as he sat next to Aki, "it's quiet today..."
"Yes..." Aki smiled as he looked up from his calligraphy, "it's lovely, don't you think?"
"Sure."
"Aw, don't pout, Haru."
"I will!"
"Fine...I'll bite...what's wrong?"
"I have a bad feeling about tomorrow."
Aki frowned, "What do you mean?"
"This peace won't last." Haru groaned, "Dammit, I hate fighting...."
Aki looked down, "Haru...I know. We're lucky that we're okay though."
The other Beppu groaned louder, "You're too calm."
"And you're too brash."
Haru made a face, "Aki, I'm serious!"
"I know, I know. We'll keep watch, okay?"
Haru smiled, "Finally, you get what I mean."
"Think about it...those dreams...someone we know probably dreams of Pegasus."
Haru sighed, "it's not Yumoto."
"Why, it couldn't be. Pegasus usually hangs out with children."
Haru froze, "The moon rabbit!"
"Huh?"
"The little girl! Pink hair!" Haru explained, "This tall, red eyes?"
"OH!" Aki gasped and dropped his brush, he frowned as he saw the ink splatter all over the page. "We....we'll keep an eye on her."
Haru nodded, "We can't tell them. Fate is fate..."
Aki nodded, "Yes..." he bit his lip, "let us hope nothing goes wrong..."
