First I would like to thank Kira_wa_ookami_youkai for this idea, also the fact that I was forced to read the book The Things They Carried
I fell asleep yesterday. You know how sometimes when you sleep the people in your life who've died come back to life? that's what happened to me. I dreamnt of my mother and father. they were very mellow, and they spoke of their lives and how it all came to be with me and them.I looked around slowly at my surroundings, I knew I was dreaming but it was strange how real it was. My father looked at me then walked up to me and picked me up slowly. "Hajime, you've grown so much. I wish your mother and I could've watched it happen." his eyes teared up as he held me and I jumped further into grasp. "I miss you and mommy so much." I told him softly. My mother walked over and grabbed hold of me. She kissed me twice and nuzzled my head. Her smell was so amazing. I almost believed for a moment that they were alive. "I hope you've been staying out of trouble, you know how hard it is on your friends." she spoke so quietly I almost lost the sound of her voice. I looked up. Her soft hair blew gently with the breeze. She was crying too. Then the strangest thing of all happened. My godmother (who is self proclaimed as my godmother) looked at the whole scene and nodded. "Suna?" I was surprised. I hadn't realized that I could be attached to her. She was just a human who wanted to take care of me. "Yasue? Tamori? I have tried to keep her from serious trouble. She's very good at sneaking around. I've asked Hiru and her sister to watch her." My father stood tall and looked at Suna. He nodded his approval and thanked her. Then Suna evaporated into the scenery. I watched in awe then cautiously asked a question that had bothered me forever. "mommy? daddy? what's it like to be dead? " They seemed shocked. My mother sighed and chuckled slightly. "Do we look dead to you?" It was my turn to be confused. My father took me close to him and then explained, "We've been alive inside of you because that's what you want. If you believe we are dead, then we are." I felt my face flush. " I'm sorry daddy." I was so overcome with joy that the moment of awkwardness faded. my mother pulled my hair away from my face as I lay on her lap. The breeze swiftly licked my face .I felt myself drift asleep. But then I realized I was awake.It was so strange. but to think that they are inside me surprises me a bit. I guess i' pretty happy though too. Now that I understand that, I think I'm gonna sleep some more. *giggles* but then that would interfere with my little adventures. Oh well. I'll save it for lonely nights.
