Mizuki moved to look at him and found him asleep. Smiling to herself, Mizuki kissed his cheek. She settled herself back down next to him and closed her eyes. In mere moments, she fell asleep curled up in his arms.

For a long time, Soran's sleep was empty, and the soundest it had been since he'd regained his memories. But several hours before sunrise, the dreams finally caught up to him. He didn't want them...not tonight, couldn't they leave him for just this night? He subconsciously protested them as his sleep filled with visions of death and pain, and guilt. He broke into a nervous sweat, his face creasing as if in pain. He rolled onto his back, his body immediately missing mizuki's warmth, and murmured something unintelligible and troubled.

Mizuki woke up the moment his body left hers. Blinking her eyes open, Mizuki looked groggily at Soran's form before registering that he was troubled. She lifted herse;f on her elbows and watched him carefully. The candles had gone out and they only had the moonlight to light up the room. She could only see an outline of his form.

"Soran?" she softly called to him. She touched his shoulder gently, it felt wet with sweat. She frowned, puzzled. "Soran?"

Soran didn't wake; his hands tightened at his sides. He was fighting in his dream; fighting and killing, but who or why was omitted. It didn't really matter, except that he was fairly sure that they all knew him, and that they were innocent. His head jerked to the side tensely.

She felt his body jerk. Her senses alert and telling her there was something wrong, Mizuki sat up and grabbed Soran's head gently. Leaning over him she kissed his forehead multiple times trying to wake him up.

"Sshhh," she hummed to him. Looking at his dark form under her, she knew she'd have a hard time waking him but finding nothing else to do she lay back down next to him and hugged his body to hers. She gently rocked him back and forth in her arms, humming to him. She wondered if there were nightmares of his past.

Feeling something around his head, Soran abruptly woke. His instincts immediately took control as his eyes sprung open. His right arm shot out, the blade springing out of its enclosure and arcing toward her neck. The rogue's eyes registered a split second later than his muscles, but it was almost too late. He stopped his arms before he could hurt her and stared wide-eyed, gasping. He could have killed her....he almost did. It made him afraid of himself. In a frantic motion he thumbed the release on his bracelets, the blades cancelling themselves automatically as the rings sprung from his wrists. He threw them to the floor like embers and threw his gaze back to her in shock. He hadn't noticed her reaction. Was she hurt? Was she afraid of him? Angry? Upset? "I'm sorry," he breathed in horror, his voice shaking as he looked at her in the darkness. He didn't dare to touch her. "I'm so sorry."

Mizuki stared wide-eyed into nothing for a long moment. She didn't know how to react. A shaky hand went up to her throat and she felt it for any kind of cut, she didn't feel anything. Her heart was pounding and her body was in shock. Those were really, really bad nightmares. She second guessed whether sleeping next to Soran in the future was a good idea.

In the shock her pupils dilated and for a split second, she saw exactly what Soran had experienced. The rawness of what she looked at momentarily brought her body back to life and she collapsed into Soran's arms with shaky breathing. Her heart was pounding as she too, was covered in a cold sweat.

Soran threw his arms around her protectively as she suddenly collapsed against him, feeling the sudden change in her. He still didn't understand how, but she'd done it again. "You didn't have to look. It's my burden," he pleaded, stroking her hair. No...this wasn't how he wanted it. How could she trust him if he did this... Maybe it was impossible for him to spend nights with her like this, after all. As long as the dreams kept coming; if they ever stopped at all. He was shaking as he tried to comfort her.

Her breathing coming under control, Mizuki shook her head and sat back up before him.

"I didn't look on purpose..." she told him, as stunned as he was. "I saw on reaction." Swallowing because her throat suddenly felt dry, Mizuki leaned forward and hugged him tightly.

Soran just embraced her and clenched his eyes, utterly mortified and frustrated with himself. "I'm sorry," he repeated blankly. "It's been...like this, for a while now. I didn't know what would happen, so I avoided you. I'd rather die than hurt you." His voice was tight again.

"It's okay, really." she told him, but still a little shaken. She kissed him on the lips lightly then pulled away and looked at him. "You should've told me..."

Soran shook his head. "I thought it would stop."

Mizuki shook her head. "They're terror dreams, they wont go away like that. They're only arising because... you haven't entirely dealt with your past yet." She caressed his cheek lovingly, not exactly sure what to do for him.

Soran narrowed his eyes, confused and uncertain how to deal with his past any more than he already had. "What is left to deal with?" he said quietly. He didn't think she could answer it for him, though she did seem to know something about this problem. He stroked the back of her head. "I understand if you'd rather sleep in the other room," he offered. He didn't know what he'd do if she left, but he had to let her choose.

"I'm not leaving you." she said and pulled him into her. She hugged him tightly to her and rubbed his back. She didn't want him to feel as if he had scared her away. She also wanted him to forget for tonight. She brought him down to the bed with her, keeping him in her arms she laid his head down on her chest and wrapped her body around his. She wanted him to feel safe and protected.

"Maybe I could help you," She told him while she rubbed his back. She didn't know how she could, but she'd deffinatly look into trying.
