Deep in a Dream

❛  last night, i had the craziest dream ...  ❜ ❛  have you ever had a recurring dream?  ❜ ❛  sometimes, my dreams feel more real than reality itself.  ❜ ❛  i wish i could still remember what i dreamt about last night.  ❜ ❛  only thing i remember is that it was a nice dream.  ❜ ❛  do you believe dreams have any deeper meaning?  ❜ ❛  i often wonder what it would be like to live inside my dreams.  ❜ ❛  do you wanna hear about my dream?  ❜ ❛  have you ever experienced lucid dreams where you could control the outcome?  ❜ ❛  i'm telling you, this is all playing out exactly like my dream.  ❜ ❛  what's the strangest dream you ever had?  ❜ ❛  you were part of my dream last night.  ❜ ❛  i think i had this dream before.  ❜ ❛  maybe if i close my eyes i can convince myself that this is only just a dream.  ❜ ❛  looks like you're lost in daydreams again.  ❜ ❛  i'm not sure what this dream was trying to tell me ...  ❜ ❛  can you tell me about your dream?  ❜ ❛  sometimes, i wish i could control my dreams just so i could make them all happy ones.  ❜ ❛  do you ever have dreams that feel so real they're almost like nightmares?  ❜ ❛  calm down. you're okay, you're safe. it was just a dream.  ❜ ❛  i want to help you, but you'll have to tell me what these dreams are about.  ❜ ❛  it felt so real ...  ❜ ❛  i thought you'd said those dreams had stopped.  ❜ ❛  do you have an idea what may cause these nightmares?  ❜ ❛  did you have another nightmare?  ❜ ❛  i just want them to stop ...  ❜ ❛  i wish i could dream of something beautiful or peaceful for a change.  ❜ ❛  can you just hold me tonight? i always sleep better with you here ...  ❜ ❛  do you want to tell me about it?  ❜ ❛  you don't have to stay here tonight. i'm gonna wake up in a few hours because of my nightmares anyway.  ❜ ❛  there has to be a reason for this recurring nightmare ...  ❜ ❛  you just go to sleep. i'll watch over you tonight.  ❜ ❛  this has to be my worst nightmare yet.  ❜

adorned in her Sakura patterned kimono and tabi socks. The pink haired imp had a curious smile upon her porcelain face. She was bored..

Wanting to find someone to play with..

Kirin turned a corner stumbling into another demon.. the tot fell down looking up at the lower moon..

" i--.. I'm sorry..-!? " the little one bows to show him respect

The demon had been walking aimlessly in the castle. He was absorbed in his thoughts, particularly of that new steam engine in the last town he had visited to hunt. He hadn't had the time to observe it though, as the sun was soon rising, leading him to come here.

There was not much to do at the moment but bide his time until the sun set again. When the girl bumps into him, his 'train' of thought is disrupted.

He looks down at her, his expression unclear. Her bow brings a smile to his face. He hasn't seen a demon quite so young in some time.

The imp giggles while she was gently twirled she smiled playfully listening to the warning of playing about the corridors of muzans infinity castle.

" Akaza and I run around here all the time~ " she Sassed stumbling to a halt as she looked up at Enmu her lavender hues fixated upon his own.

"Enmu," She repeats quietly to herself, storing his name. For whatever reason she doesn't know, because she won't see him again after he willingly leaves.

"I'm Mimi," She finally introduces, "Mimi Uzui. No fancy title or anything like you." Because the last name should be enough~.

Mimi scoots a little closer to Enmu, eying him to see if he's still wet or dirty or hurt or something of the sort. "I'm sorry I threw you out and yelled at you earlier... That was mean."

Ugh, she's making a bad choice being all nice to him! She's never really liked being too nice and friendly with people she doesn't know (She's gotta be scary but in a cute way!). Enmu pretty much says he won't betray her or anything, but she's still worried anyway and she can't stop! This is terrible and awful. Hopefully it doesn't happen. This girl will probably die if it does.

Receiving an apology from a fellow demon is a rare occurrence, an occurrence he relishes. An apology is a mark of respect to those above you, as such words wouldn't be wasted on a being that is below you. Well, that is how it is typically seen but Enmu's own interests had him "wasting" words often. Still, he enjoys having his higher rank affirmed.

❛  how could you do that? i thought we were friends!  ❜ ❛  the world would be a better place without you in it.  ❜ ❛  don't even think about trying to beg for forgiveness.  ❜ ❛  do you have any idea how much harm you've caused?  ❜ ❛  i don't ever want to see your face again!  ❜ ❛  i promise you i'm going to make your life a living hell.  ❜ ❛  the others may be able to ignore the past, but i surely won't.  ❜ ❛  if you ever hurt them, i swear, i won't hesitate to punch you.  ❜ ❛  don't even try and act friendly with me.  ❜ ❛  that's not a threat. it's a promise.  ❜ ❛  i'm not the same helpless little girl i used to be. now i can finally defend myself against you.  ❜ ❛  you lay one hand on me and it'll be the last thing you ever do.  ❜ ❛  it's about time you finally get what's been coming to you for years.  ❜ ❛  actually, you're not as bad as people say. you are so much worse.  ❜ ❛  tell me one good reason why i should believe anything you say.  ❜ ❛  oh look, it's the useless one again.  ❜ ❛  i'm glad to see you're not letting your education get in the way of your ignorance.  ❜ ❛  how anyone can stand being in the same room as you is beyond me.  ❜ ❛  that's a low blow. even for you.  ❜ ❛  unless you want to end up with my fist in your face, i'd rather shut my mouth.  ❜ ❛  i wish i could be there when you finally get what's coming to you.  ❜ ❛  i wish you'd never been born!  ❜ ❛  fuck you! this is all your fault!  ❜ ❛  have you lost your mind?!  ❜ ❛  you betrayed us and still you think you can think you can just waltz back in here like nothing ever happened?  ❜ ❛  no! i've had enough with you. go to hell!  ❜ ❛  i want you to go and never come back. and if you do, i promise you'll regret it.  ❜ ❛  do you have another clever idea to get us killed?  ❜ ❛  name one good reason why i shouldn't hurt you right now.  ❜ ❛  next time we see each other i won't be so nice.  ❜ ❛  is this supposed to scare me?  ❜ ❛  i can't believe i ever trusted you ...  ❜ ❛  you should have killed me when you had the chance.  ❜ ❛  come any closer and you'll regret it.  ❜ ❛  you may win this time ... but i will get my revenge sooner or later.  ❜ ❛  are you threatening me?  ❜ ❛  and you can go to hell for all i care.  ❜ ❛  lay one hand on them and i'll make sure you won't ever be able to lay a hand on anyone ever again.  ❜ ❛  i'm not your friend! i never was, i never will be.  ❜ ❛  i'll make you regret the day you were born.  ❜

The little ones origami sculpture faded to fragments of paper while she flinched at Enmu upbruptly standing up right. Kirin looked up observing the etched tattoos upon his knuckles they read dream..

" ooh~ I have markings too see~ " she gently moves the sides of her short messy bob haircut that was laying against the side of her face as she had Sakura Blossom in full bloom upon the apples of her cheeks.

" Your Lower One~ woah.. that's really cool..~ Akaza said I might become an Upper moon one day~ " the tot giggles happily

"Becoming a Moon takes hard work. If you do climb the ranks, you'll have to surpass me," he says coldly. His voice is stern but lightens up when he adds, "I'll be waiting for the day you can challenge my place." He does not believe that day will ever come, but he keeps that part to himself.

The little one listened to him speak coldy. It was the harsh reality..

She smirks at him closing her eyes.

" Akaza's teaching me how to fight~! " she giggled warning the lower moon..

How bold of the tot.. but...

For now there was no chance she would be able to ursurp him.. not for along time.. it would be suicide to do so. Kirin understands the struggle of what being in a fight is like especially when she's outside claiming her food over other lower Demons.

Her little clawed hand gently reached upward to hold enmu's hand..

Ah, children's games. It takes him a moment to recall the rules, having not entertained such activities in a long time. Enmu nods in agreement, "That sounds splendid, though it might not be best to run wild across the master's floors." He twirls Kirin around with his hand as he thinks.

The little one raised herself from bowing as she sat upon her knees. Kirin-chan blinks a few times while pondering what to say to the lower moon..

" I-im..-?! Trying to find Akaza... We were Supposed to be going outside to catch fireflies..." the tot didn't know it was sunny out sense she had been asleep for a while..

"One of the Upper Moons? You must be favored for one to be so friendly with you."

He keeps his voice calm for the young demon. For a demon of presumably no status to spend time with the upper ranks, she must be well-liked or important. He makes a mental note to not cause too much trouble for her.

He tries to recall when the last time he saw Akaza was, but truthfully he had not. He had been too involved in his thoughts while walking the endless pathways, and he would not speak to a higher rank without one asking him to.

Burn.. up..-?!

" n'aaw-!? It's daytime..-! " she growls pouting while looking down at the floor.

Kirin-chan must have slept for far to long. The little one looked up as she sighs disappointingly.

" Oh well.. I guess I don't know what to do now..- I would visit Douma but he probably has a cult meeting to attend to.. " she twiddled her thumbs as her lavender hues observed Enmu.

This must have been something the girl was looking forward to. Once again her involvement with the upper moons surprises him, but he does not let it show. The girl is bored, and since he has nothing better to do he takes it upon himself to accompany the young demon for the time being.

" Okay.. I guess we can find something to do..? " kirin spoke hushed with a small fanged smile.

" My.. Names Kirin.. I'm the Sakura origami demon.. " as she spoke she gently raised her hands moving them to create anything out of ornate origami it was her blood demon art afterall.

With a flourish, he stands upright and brings his left hand to his heart. "Where are my manners? I am Enmu of the Lower Moons," he says. On his hand the character for 'dream' is etched onto his knuckles. A mouth sprouts from it, grinning at Kirin.
