*Happy Holidays

Keitaro's family, the Hinata dorm tenants, and his friends gathered at University of Tokyo Hospital (1), even his Grandma and his sister. They worried about him. Their hearts were being squeezing by their regrets because of what they did to him. They only did it to help and protect him, but in a wrong way. The first think they promise to do is to ask his forgiveness when he woke up.

But the true is, he should ask their forgiveness first.

Keitaro's dream:

He found himself in a beautiful world, Tokyo University. The sounds of wedding bells, the white pigeons flying around him, the roses covered the land.

'Where am I?'

"You're in your mind. Can you figure it out you dummy?"

"WHO SAID THAT?!"

"It's me."

"Who are you?"

"What?"

"Haven't you looked at the mirror?"

"You look like...me."

"That's because I'm you."

"But how?"

"Look, technically we both are in your mind. This is our surrealistic mind. You are artist. It's your world."

"WOW, it's amazing."

"Not for too long!"

"Huh" , "What do you mean?"

Then everything around him changed, the Tokyo University became ruins with an empty desert, everything around them seemed sad, especially with the sound of the wind.

"What the..."

"It's you."

"What?"

"You the one who destroyed this world, you the one who killed everyone."

"What?"

"Take a look" he gave him his ZAI tablet (2).

Keitaro looked at the tablet, he looked at a website called Hinata news, he read:

SWORDSWOMAN CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

EXPERIMENT KILLED ITS INVENTOR.

YOUNG CHEF DIED BY HER KITCHEN EXPLOSION.

TODAI STUDENT DRAWN.

FINDING A FEMALE DEAD BODY, WITHOUT ITS ORGANS.

FULL FAMILY DEATH AFTER THEIR SON'S FUNERAL.

TODAI PERFECT STUDENT SUICIDE.

He focused on the last two, the first article shocked him, it was about his father, his mother, his sister, his Grandma, his aunt, his part-time supervisor, and his part-time supervisor's daughter. They were on their way back after his funeral, when a sleeping truck driver jump from the side to them.

Keitaro didn't believe it "YOU LIE, THAT'S NOT TRUE!"

"Read the last article"

Keitaro read the article, it was about a genius college girl who became depressed and addicted to alcohol and drugs, and a complete whore who did all kinds of kinky stuff, just to forget her love. Her love was the cram school student who spent her life with him, and then he left without say goodbye.

Her lover was a son of a dead family, he was also connected with previous five news.

"Look at your left."

He turned left and found seven headstone Kotaro Urashima (3), Kyoko Urashima (3), Kanako Urashima, Hina Urashima, Haruka Urashima, Seta Noriyasu, and Sarah McDougal.

"Look to your right."

He turned right to find an angel headstone, it write; Here rest Naru Narusegawa.

"NOOOO!"

He grabbed his copycat's collar, so he was going to strangle him. "Easy big boy, I wasn't the cause, it was you."

"SHUT UP!"

"Tell me, did you enjoy her punches you masochistic pervert?"

"..."

"I bet you only have your accidents because they were your only lovely moments in your life?"

"SHUT THE HELL UP!"

"Where to start? Oh, From the American blonde hair, to the Molmolian dark skin, with the cute Houkei's belly. How about the Drunken boobzilla and Okinawan milkshake, delicious mix, isn't it? Maybe you like the swordwoman's legs, especially when she spanking your ass by her stick. Let's not to forget your upper neighbor, especially her..."

"DON'T YOU DARE..."

"Keitaro, you're arguing with your unconscious mind, it's unhealthy."

"YOU'RE LYING, LYING. ALL YOU SAID IS LIES!"

"Then why did you change?"

"I changed to man up and not being beaten again"

"DON'T LIE!"

"I'm...I wasn't lying. I don't want Naru or Motoko to beat me, I don't Su's missiles to chase me."

"Then just say the right answer."

"Heh, don't go. At least what is the right answer?"

"It's...yo...job...Tok...dent"

Keitaro stopped to think about everything, from the promise to the to the current situation. He thought:

'Why I didn't agree to work with his parents?'

Why I agreed to work in the dorm?'

'Why I learn to fight?'

"Don't you care about me, Keitaro?"

"Huh."

"I thought you loved me."

"I was."

"Then did you stopped?"

"I don't remember you anymore. I don't even remember your name."

"You have to."

"Please tell me."

The girl started to disappear, and Keitaro panicked from losing her "STOP...WAIT..."

The girl run and Keitaro chase only to hear someone call him "Keitaro"

He recognized the voice, it was Naru's.

"Naru."

"Keitaro, you are here, ALIVE!" She jumped and hugged him. She then started to cry.

Keitaro hugged her tightly. He couldn't hold himself from tearing his eyes.

"So Keitaro" Naru stopped "What are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same question."

"At least you are alive and safe in my dream."

"What do you mean your dream? You are in my dream."

"No Keitaro, that is not true."

"Why do you believe it is your dream?"

"Because..." she couldn't hold herself and start to cry again.

"I'm sorr..."

"NO, I'm the one who should apologize. After you saved me, you got shot in your chest..."

"Wait, wait, wait... All I remembered that I saved you from the bullet"

"Because you saved me, you received the bullet. Your body fell on the ground, covered with blood. Seta called the ambulance and they took you to the hospital. Everyone was there. Your family and our friends."

"The doctor said that the good news is physically you're safe, the bad news is you are in a coma due to weak connection. (4)"

"Weak connection?!"

"Low blood goes to the brain, officially you are clinically dead, it's mean you're dead."

"Calm down Naru. I'm here with you."

"You're here with me in my dream, I slept next to you. hopefully I'll wake up and find you alive."

"You slept next to me?"

"After that, I found myself in a dream of a beautiful world, Tokyo university, the sounds of wedding bells, the white pigeons flying around me. Roses covered the land, but then everything changed. the university became ruins with an empty desert, everything around them had the sounds of a sad wind. It was another nightmare. Then I met someone."

"Who did you meet?"

"I met myself."

"You met yourself!"

"Yeah, something like that. She was my unconscious mind."

Keitaro looked at her.

"I'M NOT CRAZY. I JUST TALKED TO HER IN MY DREAM. I CAN'T CONTROL MY DREAM, YOU KNOW!"

"OK, please continue"

"So I asked her where am I and about everything. But..."

"But what?"

"She told me that you are dead. I know it was a lie, but I couldn't hold myself. I punched her, but every time I'm punching her, I feel pain. It turned out that I'm punching myself."

'Duh...' Keitaro thought.

"She told me that I'm nothing but a selfish sadistic brat. That I'm a horrible person who enjoyed seeing you in pain. That I feel happiness every time I insult you. SHE' LYING, I never do that."

Keitaro looked at here and thought 'SERIOUSLY?'

"Then she told to find the right answer. I asked her, but she disappeared. I searched everywhere until I found a boy. He was the same boy from my past dreams. It turned to be that I made the promise when I was younger when the Hinata was an inn. The promise was to go to Tokyo University to find happiness there. The promise was between me, Mutsumi, and a boy."

"Same for my promise, but it was between me, Mutsumi, and a girl that I chased her before I met you."

"Was you the boy of my promise?"

"Was you the girl of my promise?"

Their faces got closer. Their lips almost touched. They didn't need to answer because they found it.

"Look I'm sorry that I hit you a lot, it maybe your fault for your accidents, but mostly it was my low temper personality."

"No Naru, I'm sorry, it maybe your fault for your anger, but mostly it was my bad luck."

They looked at each other, then they laughed together.

"It's good that I found you. Now we have to get out of dream"

"Keitaro, you are in my dream, remember?"

"No Naru, it's my dream, but mine is the same to you, somehow."

"Could it be that both our dreams are connected?"

"I don't know."

"I don't want to wake up."

"Huh?!"

"What if I woke up while you're not? What if you were dead? What if..."

Keitaro didn't let her go because he start to kiss her. His hands start to carry out his dreams with her.

"Since it's our dream, I can do what I want."

She agreed with his logic, so she did the same with him.

"AAAAHHHH" A loud scream that shocked them and stopped them from what they were doing.

They looked at the scream's source. It was a young nurse in a patient's room in a hospital. It looks like they weren't in the dream anymore. They both are nude, their clothes around the bed and there was a small dots of blood on the bed while the room full of a weird smell.

"What happened? Why did you scream?"

"Doctor, look at..."

The doctor looked and tried to say something, but then fell on the floor because he was pushed from back because everyone entered to see what happened, including Keitaro's family and the dorm tenants. They all blushed from seeing two nude people in an embarrassing position, but happiness covered everything.

Everyone asked Keitaro for forgiveness, but they shocked from him asking their forgiveness

Outside the room, Takoma and Sana looked at their man, especially Takoma who want to thank Keitaro for saving his niece; Sakura.

"I think it is a perfect ending", he said.

Sana said "No it's not" he didn't agree Takoma of what he said, instead he said "It's a perfect beginning." (5)

*I want to apologize to everyone because of my impatience to read fictions, I didn't realize that writing a good story is very hard till I did it. it was painful to me, but your reviews & readings encourages me to not give up.

*I have 3 tips to whom wanna write a story:

1-Publish your story (Upload it on Fanfiction) after it finished, you may have no time or can not think of each new chapter, also your fans don't like to wait.

2-Write for yourself, write to release your creativity.

3-Never & never write so people read your stories, if nobody like or even read your story, it's not a problem. If no one read your story today, then they will tomorrow.

*ُ10 people killed daily in Syria by different weapons; Gunfire, knives, Chemical weapons, hunger...etc. 30% of them are children & women, & this percent is going to increase more. But what disappointed me is not the sadness of our people, but the not caring from the rest of the world. So please everyone, don't forget.

*O God, free our Syria.
