"Bye!"
Chiyo waved and shut the door as the family car pulled out of the driveway, leaving her at the Shioji residence all on her own.

"Ugh... why did I have to catch a cold of all things?" She muttered, going up the stairs, wrapping her arms around her in an attempt to keep herself warm. Meaning to walk straight past the second room off the hallway and proceed to her own, the fact that the twins' room door was wide open caught her eye; they usually shut it tight after them.

Walking cautiously inside, she peered around the room. Half of it looked as though a bomb had exploded in its midst, filled with towels and dirty laundry; Zani obviously resided on that half of the room. Chiyo chuckled softly, turning to the other side. Not exactly messy, but immaculate compared to his sister's half of the shared space... Sam obviously slept on that bed.

Chiyo went slightly crimson, approaching the bed, and stopped.

"...EW! UNDERWEEEEEEEEEEEEAR!" She screeched, going a deep shade of red as she poked the pair of mouse-patterned boxers away with a stick.
"I did not need to see that... wait..." She lapsed into a fit of giggles, having realised something. "Naw, so Sam likes mice..." She muttered, saving that bit of information to her brain, temporarily forgetting SHE had a pair of fish-patterened underwear.

Shrugging, she flopped down onto his bed, now feeling very awkward as she groped around under his pillow.

"Something... hard? What the heck?" She asked of the air, pulling out a small, black book with Sam's distinct, careful handwriting. " 'Property of Sammuel Katsourii.' ...Wonder what's inside?"

Flicking to a random page, she blinked, slightly confused, as she looked at a very odd picture of Anako... in a panda suit.

"What the blo- oh, he's written something!"

Okay... this was the WEIRDEST dream I've ever had... so far. I mean.. what the heck kind of dream is having your adopted sister prancing around in a bloody panda suit!? That's kinda weird if you ask me, at least...

Chiyo giggled. "What kind of dream is that? Hmm... what ELSE is in here?"

She turned a few pages carefully, taking note of how Sam drew... to say the very least, it was extremely different from Anako's manga-like style of drawing.

The next picture... was very... very... weird. A large dragon filled most of the page, its scales and large eyes gleaming, along with its razor-sharp teeth. Its claws were clenched around the neck of a rather large rubber chicken, and there was a small child on its back for some reason... but most funnily enough, on the ground, was a chibi Zani with flailing arms.

Okay... I have one thing to say: never eat anything Anako gives you when in a bad mood... ever.

Chiyo giggled again, now sprawled out on his bed. "Mmm... comfy..."

She turned the page, and found that her jaw had dropped completely. "Oh my... fucking... god..."

Two certain people were sprawled out in the grass, not very far apart from one another, the female's fingers running lazily through the grass. One of the male's hands was behind her head, playing gently with her long, blonde hair, and tickling her behind one of her speckled cheetah ears, their tails curled  around each other...     
It was her and... Sam.

This has been my favourite dream so far... me and her... we were just talking in the grass, just relaxing and having fun... and I woke up when we were about to kiss. That really sucks... I wish this dream was real... it was just so beautiful and so easy to imagine... it seems so... real. I hope I can do this with her one day... I just... love her. I love Chiyo Takani... and I can never tell her. She'll just laugh at me...but I just love her.

A tear dripped down her cheek and crashed onto the page, making the ink run. It would be obvious she was here, but she didn't care... Setting the book down on top of the pillow, she ran out of the room, crying, but still smiling.

< He really... does? Wow... today's gonna be interesting when he gets home...>
