Eiji woke up in a cold sweat. He'd just had the worst dream, his family had died and he was the only one left. Eiji got up quickly and ran to the family room and saw what he didn't want to see. The sight was gruesome and gory; it was exactly like his dream. The walls were dripping with blood and there in the middle of the room was his father, mother and brothers and sisters all spread out ripped open and bloody. Eiji screamed and put his hands on his head. His eyes were wide and fearful. He felt something wet on his hand, he took it off his head and stared at it, then he gasped and looked up. The ceilings were too dripping blood, but this blood did not come from that of his family but from a disgusting, vile looking creature with sharp claws and rows of sharp pointed teeth. The blood was dripping from its mouth and claws. Then Eiji realized the blood did come from his family and it was this monster that killed them. The creature gave a loud hiss then screeched, it lunged at Eiji……

Eiji woke screaming and crying. "NONONONONO!!" He shouted clawing at….nothing. Then his door burst open as 2 of his sisters and his oldest brother ran in. "Eiji what is it, what's wrong!" Eijis older sister asked, trying to calm her little brother down. Eiji finally stopped thrashing and clung to his brother. "I had the worst dream!" he cried still crying. His brother held Eiji against his shoulder and tried to shh him. "What was your dream" Eijis other sister asked, putting a hand on Eijis shoulder, making him flinch. Eiji gulped and attempted to stop crying and calm down. "I woke up from a dream I was having in the dream and then I went downstairs…. (Whimper)…I got to the family room and there was b-blood all over the walls…a-and everyone was d-d-dead…mom, dad, you guys, everyone!" Eiji cried on his brothers' shoulder again. "Oh Eiji, you know that could never happen", his sister said, rubbing Eijis head. Eiji looked at her and sighed, tears starting to recede. "I know….but it was so real I…I didn't….it was so horrible…that monster…" His siblings looked confused. "What monster?" His brother asked. Eiji remembered. "The monster that k-killed you in my dream it was terrible, those claws, those s-sharp teeth." His brother and sisters looked at each other then back at Eiji. They finally saw how scared he really was. "Come on" Said his brother, getting Eiji up and out of his bed. They led him downstairs and into the family room. It was normal, no blood, no bodies, and no monster. Eiji calmed down a little. "See, nothing now you should get some rest you have a big tournament tomorrow, you need to play your best" His brother said, sounding encouraging. He pat his little brother on the back and smiled, making Eiji smile. Then they all went to bed. But as Eiji crawled back into bed he wasn't sure about something. He did not tell them this, but that was not the only time he had had the dream. It had come to him 3 times before and he didn't know why.

Tomorrow came quick, to Eijis liking. He got to school just in time to meet Oishi. "Hey, Eiji…umm you look tired you ok?" Oishi asked, as he saw the state his doubles partner was in. Eiji looked surprised. "Of course I'm alright Oishi….I just had a rough night" Eiji rubbed the back of his head and looked almost scared. Oishi made a mental note to keep an eye on Eiji. "Well come on, let's meet up with the others at the buses" Oishi pointed his thumb towards the big game buses. Eiji followed Oishi but not before taking a few looks around and behind.

"Kikumaru- sempai are you alright?" Kaidoh asked, as they were on their way to the national tournament. Eiji looked at Kaidoh puzzled then gave a "Nya" and a peace sign.

"I'm fine Kaidoh, just a little tired" Kaidoh then went back to looking out the window. Eiji looked down ashamed, because he had lied to Kaidoh. He was not fine, in fact he down right scared and frightened.
