Ah, sweet, er, spicy ramen!

Toshi was pulling Yuudai to the ramen bar by his hand. The two had just come back from giving Seifukusha directions, and Toshi had no idea of what to do, so she brought Yuudai to the ramen bar. She sat down at the counter with him, and ordered a bowl of plain ramen. "What do you want, Yuu-chan? My treat!"

"Oh no thats ok Toshi i can pay for my own. One pork raman please."

In a few moments, the cook served them two hot, steaming bowls of ramen. Toshi grinned, split her chopsticks and began eating. "Hm... I have a strange feeling of déja vû."

"Why?" Yuudai asked muffled, with his mouth full you coulden't understand him unless you payed attention.

Toshi shrugged, still grinning. "Dunno. I felt like I've been through this already. Eating ramen with Yuu-chan after bumping into him. Hm..." She picked at a piece of fishcake and looked dreamy.

"That's weird. Well if ya can't remember it, forget it" Yuudai took another huge bite of raman.

"Ah, well." Toshi grinned again, and started wolfing down her ramen. Then she stopped halfway and put down her chopsticks with a small frown. "Ah, I remember! It was in a dream! It was strange, though..."

"You can tell me. I like to hear weird stories." Yuudai started to wolf down his raman too.

"First, Miru came and told me not to go out without...then I went out anyway and met Ryou-san, talking with Aiden-sama." Toshi slowly ate her ramen, chewing thoughtfully. "I made Ryou-san promise to play with me...then I noticed his backpack."

"What was in it?" Eventhough he already knew it was him. He wanted to know her side of the messed up reason Ryou had kidnaped him. Yuudai also knew the reason too.

"I think it was a person. Not as big as Ryou-san, but between his height and mine..." She put her chopsticks down again and frowned in concentration. "I went to a meadow to take a nap, and had a dream in a dream."

"Can I tell you one thing about that dream you had Toshi?" By now Yuudai was finished with his raman.

Toshi slurped down the rest of her ramen quickly and burped. She wiped her face with the back of her hand, and nodded, looking to Yuudai. "What?"

"That 'dream' you had was real. And I was the one in that backpack." Yuudai ordered another raman.

"It...so... Ryou-san really did kidnap you..." Toshi stared at her bowl, unconciously licking a finger for ramen residue. "Was my other dream....hm...."

"That depends: What was your other dream about?" Yuudai ate his raman and didn't bother ordering another.

"We were eating ramen together." Toshi smiled to him, and ordered a cup of green tea. "You looked so happy, too!"

"Are you sure? Cause we've ate raman together plenty of times before. And almost all those times I was happy."

Toshi shook her head, and her cheeks flushed from the heat of the tea. "That time was different. It was as if you just found something really, really good. And you looked so peaceful, but hopeful too."

"I don't remember finding anything. Mabey that one was a dream." Yuudai ordered a glass of water.

Toshi smiled and nodded. "Probably. But it was nice to see you so happy with that expression."

"Mabey it'll happen in the future." Yuudai then instantly thought about the fact that he still wanted to kill Asmo. He then looked angry.

Toshi nodded again, smiling widely. Maybe she'd see him smiling like he did in the dream. Then she turned to him, and saw the expression on his face. "Yuu-chan...?" She backed away, suddenly afraid.

Yuudai was still mad. growling he said to Toshi, "Toshi, I know what we're doing next." Yuudai kept growling.

"H-huh?" Toshi backed away more, shaking, with her hands up in a Hinata-like pose. Confusion flashed across her eyes, then pure fear.
