Can it seriously be? [a mori love story]

Recap: Raine just fell asleep and was having a weird dream :]

Onto what we really want to read. Just remember, we're inside Raine's head right now, learning about her dream.




It really made no sense to me at first. I was alone, in the middle of a big ball room, in an elegant dress. There was a mask on my face, and a mirror to my side. When I turned to look in the mirror I saw myself, but my hair was all black now, my earrings all matched my outfit, I was wearing a necklace, the dress what tight fitting and pink, it WAS NOT me. It couldn't have been me, this person was extremely too pretty to be me. Even through the eye holes in the mask you could see I had make up on, but as I looked at the mirror longer, the image began to change.

My figure began to take on the form of a man. The man looked more and more like my brother Rune, but it wasn't Rune, It couldn't have been Rune. He was too tall, too strong, his eyes weren't purple or green, they were blue. His hair was just as long as mine, but worn down, and straight, no volume what so ever. He had the same mask on his face that I had on mine. Then, I don't know why, but I felt I had to, I reached a hand out toward the mirror, and his hand followed mine. The wierd thing was, his hand grasped mine and he took a step forward, walking out of the mirror. I wanted to freak out, I knew this shouldn't be happening, this was a dream, but it still scared me.

His free hand reached out and pulled the mask off my face, then he dropped the mask with what looked like shock. He reached a hand toward my face again and placed it on my left cheek. 'The bruise' I thought to myself and looked around him to the mirror. Sure enough, it was there, bright as ever. I sighed and looked back up at the man standing infront of me and watched as he pulled the mask off his face. What I saw made me want to stop breathing. He looked exactly like me...Like Rune..Like Axel..Sai...I started shaking my head frantically before being pulled into a hug by this man, I didn't get it. Was I letting what Hunny said get to me too much?

Everything suddenly went black and I heard a familiar voice in my ear. I opened my eyes up and there weretwo different people beside me, or should I say, the same person with different personalities. I could see their gold eyes standing out in the darkness, I looked around to find a clock and was dissapointed when I saw that it was only 3 A.M. I didn't mean to wake anyone up, I didn't even know I was making such a ruckus. I looked back and forth at them both.

"What is it Raine?" Hikaru said, I caught the edge in his voice.

"Really, why were you thrashing around like that?" I could hear Kaoru's tired voice on my left.

I rolled to my left so that I was on my stomach and held my weight up with my forearms.
"It was just a dream guys." I pulled a fake smile, the one you use when you want everyone to think that everything is perfectly fine. It worked for the most part, I got a pat on the head and heard them both crawl back into bed. I sighed a sigh of relief to myself and slumped back down onto the ground. I still had atleast five hours before anyone would be pulling themselves out of bed, I might as well try to get a couple more hours in. But when I did finally get to bed, I didn't have another dream, everything was black.

The next time I pulled my eyes open was at around nine, everyone was already downstairs and it smelled like someone was cooking. 'Works for me, looks like I actually get a day off.' I thought and hobbled downstairs. I guess I didn't wake up too far behind everyone else, they were all still half awake and in their pajamas.

Haruhi was the one in the kitchen cooking, I should've known. No one else in this house knew how to. I was greated by Mori picking me up, apparently I was standing in the way of the steps. I looked up at the giant, he looked to be awake for the most part, and was the only person in real clothes, Axel's clothes to be exact. He looked down at me and somewhat cringed. Stupid me, I forgot to cover up the purple blotch again. I turned my head away so he wouldn't have to look at my face anymore. My stomach began to drop, then I was handed over to my brother, Rune. He too cringed when he looked at my face, I let out a quiet sigh and squirmed to get down, it wasn't like I was deformed or disgusting, I just had a mark on my face that would be there for a few days.

My brother set me down and I headed back upstairs, all of a sudden, I didn't want to be in company anymore. I looked through my room and eventually found the makeup, then headed to the bathroom. Maybe now I wouldn't get all those looks. I mean it was just a bruise, did I look that bad? They all reminded me of that man from the dream I had earlier. I groaned and shoved the makeup in my dresser once I was finished. I really didn't want to revisit that part of last night.

I had to be getting myself over worked, there was no way I could have another brother. My father, my real father even claimed there were only four of us when I asked him if there would ever be any more. I let out an irritated sigh, I let alot of things get the better of me. I started to walk back down the stairs but paused. I was getting an odd vibe, the one you get when you know something bad is about to happen, and then it did.

The door swung open to reveal my mother and Jared. I let my foot take a step backwards. There was no way I was going to get out of this one. I guess this time I'd get a matching bruise.

Because Jared doesn't like to appear rude he walked in with a fake smile and asked everyone how they were, why they were here, why they were dressed in my siblings clothes, what exactly had been going on since he was gone. But when he locked eyes with me, it was more of a warning than anything. Kyoya was on his phone. He apologized to Jared and the driver was there in a matter of minutes. My foot took another step backwards, this was the only chance I was going to get to distance myself from him, I might as well take it.

I watched the Host Club walk out the door, then he shut and locked it. There was no chance I was getting out without some type of punishment. My brothers all looked at me withthe sameapologetic look on their faces. I ran backwards as soon as I heard him take the first step forward. The attempt to get away however failed, just like it usually does, while my mom sits downstairs acting like she can't hear me screaming.

I felt my shoulder hit the wall and I couldn't get my hands free. After several violent rounds of being slammed into the wallmy feet couldn't touch the floor anymore, and then my right eye hurt, along with several other features on my face. He dropped me and landed several kicks to my ribs then left. I curled up when I heard footsteps running toward me. Fortunatly for me, it was my brother.

There was a brief wrestling before I realized it was him though, during that fight I realized my nose was bleeding too. Today was becoming more and more fantastic. Rune pulled me to my feet and took a look at me. I got the look I do every time, sympathetic, upset, confused, enraged. I clasped my hand over my nose and went to the bathroom very closely followed by Rune.

I could've sworn I was going to faint when I dropped the handful of blood in the sink, but I guess that wasn't enough to take me down. I could already see the purple forming around my right eye. Great, I'm a racoon now. I wiped my hands and face off then layed down on my bed with my head tilted backwards, the usual routine by now.

Rune clamped a tissue over my nose with his hand and looked me in the eye. Axel and Sai, they never came to help after Jared and I got into a fight. Infact, this past day was the most interaction we have in a month. I was the outsider in the family, it's confusing at times. I closed my eyes, my sides hurt the worst. I thought I heard a 'snap' when he kicked me the second time, and I was probably right.

Rune picked me up, to the best of his ability, without harming me, and headed downstairs. He walked out the door in his PJ's and started towards the hospital. When we were ablock away I started to cough violently. When I pulled my hands away to look at them, there was blood. Rune picked the pace up, I guess I really did hear that snap.

Rune reported the case then sat in the waiting room with me on his lap while I commenced to hacking up a lung. It wasn't long before he shifted his weight again and got up, there was a doctor that would see me. They took me directly to an X-ray room and got a scan of my torso.

It turned out I had a punctured lung, and they would fix it to the best of their ability. I kept ahold of Rune's hand until I had to let go. They put me under and went to fix the damage that had been done.

When I woke up Rune was still there, holding my hand, talking to mom on the phone. Well, more like screaming at mom on the phone over something. Out of that whole conversation I got that I wasn't allowed to leave for two weeks. I sighed to myself. What was I going to do for two whole weeks? All day??? Rune had to leave sometime for school.

I went into panic attack mode and a nurse came in to inject some sedative into my blood stream. The medications made me drowsy, it took half my energy to keep my heavy eyelids open. I eventually did get to sleep though, and let my mind drift through all the thoughts that were going through it.
