Chapter Fourteen
While Tomochi was sleeping, he was dreaming about Aya and himself at the Ryu Village.
"Aya," Tomochi, in his dream, said, "I just wanted to know your true identity."
"I can't tell it." Aya sobbed.
"I'll keep it. Just tell me." Tomochi said as she kissed her cheeks.
"I'm 19 years old." Aya said as her tears ran down through her cheeks.
"So that's why you are trying to forget everything." Tomochi said.
"I have another secret to tell," Aya said as she hugged Tomochi, "I love you."
"I love you too," Tomochi said as he hugged and kissed her in the lips.
Suddenly, bells rang and Aya turned around.
While Aya was looking at the bells, Tomochi noticed that her scarf is transforming into a thin, transparent, fairy wings.
Aya felt the transformation, her winter clothes became a white, frilly dress and her hair grew longer. Her body started to grow into a fully 19 year old woman.
"Aya..." Tomochi said as he saw the glowing, fairy-like woman, "You're a fairy."
"It's true," Aya said as she hovered in the air, "Your love unlocked my true identity."
"Where will you go now after you transformed?" Tomochi asked her.
"I'm flying away, up in the sky," Aya said as she fluttered her wings, "Goodbye, Tomochi."
"Aya!" Tomochi cried as he watched Aya fly away.
The next morning, Tomochi awoke from his dream.
"Wow. The dream really looks real." Tomochi muttered as he sat down.
He peeked into the curtains and saw soft frost of snow falling down to the view.
Suddenly, Shimo opened the door.
"Tomochi-kun!" Shimo cried, "It's Christmas!"
Tomochi didn't answer, he was thinking about his dream.
"Tomochi, what's the matter?" Shimo said as she sat down on Tomochi's bed.
"I dreamed a strange dream," Tomochi said, "Aya revealed herself as a fairy and flew away."
"I see," Shimo said as she stood up, "I wish she'll come back."
After Shimo left the room, Tomochi got dressed up and ate his breakfast.
"Tomochi," Shimo said, "I'm still worried about your dream."
Tomochi continued eating his breakfast without talking to Shimo.
After breakfast, he brushed his teeth and went to search for Aya.
While searching for Aya, all sorts of deaths of Aya entered in Tomochi's mind.
It was already 6 o' clock when Tomochi gave up searching for her.
"Are you looking for Ayano?" A voice called.
Tomochi looked up and saw Ayaka, Aya's cousin.
"Yes," Tomochi said as he sobbed, "Can you tell me where she is now?"
"I don't know what happened to her, I was in jail because of that wallet thing but I was freed yesterday." Ayaka said as her dirty, emotionless face said.
Tomochi noticed that Ayaka got her hair cut and her clothes were all torn.
"Do you think you know what happened to her?" Ayaka asked Tomochi.
So, Tomochi told her dream to Ayaka.
"Oh!" Ayaka suddenly became surprise.
"Every time I hear bells ring, Aya appears out of nowhere and crash to me." Tomochi said as he looked at the dark sky.
"I notice that too." Ayaka said.
Tomochi looked at the sleepy, beggar-looking girl as he put his arms around her.
"Are you going to stay and wander in Ryu Village?" Tomochi asked her.
"I won't if you let me stay where you live." Ayaka said as she shivered.
"Okay. We're going to Shimo's house, where I temporary sleep there." Tomochi said as he help her walk.
It is already 7 o' clock when they arrived in the Kagura house.
"Tomochi! Is that Aya with you?" Shimo said as she saw Ayaka in a very dirty clothes.
"Well yes. She's staying here temporary." Tomochi said as he pretended that he founded Aya.
"Uu~kuu." Ayaka mimicked Aya's catch phrase.
"Aya, you should wash first." Shimo said to Ayaka.
"Okay, Shimo." Ayaka said as she walked to the bathroom.
After Ayaka took a bath, she can't find any clothes to wear.
"Why won't you meet Min? She got plenty of clothes to share." Shimo said.
"Hey, Min!" Ayaka said as she entered her room.
"Hello, Aya." Min said as she stared at her.
"Do you have any unused clothes to give?" Ayaka asked her.
"Plenty of them. I kept these clothes that are too big for me." Min said as she gave her a pile of neatly folded clothes.
"Thanks." Ayaka said as she opened the door and carried the clothes outside.
Shimo noticed that there is another guest room beside Min's room.
Ayaka went to her new room and got dress up there.
"Aya," Tomochi, in his dream, said, "I just wanted to know your true identity."
"I can't tell it." Aya sobbed.
"I'll keep it. Just tell me." Tomochi said as she kissed her cheeks.
"I'm 19 years old." Aya said as her tears ran down through her cheeks.
"So that's why you are trying to forget everything." Tomochi said.
