Honda's Ghost Part 16



I woke up, knowing the dream wasn’t mine. I didn’t know whose dream it was, but it wasn’t me.

Well I didn’t think it was, kind of a strange dream for me, most of mine involved water, rain or grassy places. The wind, maybe, the wind could be me, but...

Strange dream. I wondered what it meant.

I really wanted to talk to the Spirit.

I had expected him to come out yesterday, and I felt a bit disheartened that he hadn’t.

Jonouchi fell into step beside me, I glanced over, and tilted my head as I looked him over. “Jonouchi?”

“Huh?” He looked up from his zombie impression.

I poked him. “How late did you stay out last night?”

He groaned.

I rolled my eyes, “You could always crash at mine.”

We reached the school before Jonouchi managed to put together a coherent sentence, Yugi met us at the gates looking slightly worried.

I mussed up his hair, and almost absentmindedly tapped the puzzle. “Good Morning.” Missed you.

I faded back to let Honda start his lessons, and spent most of the week trying not to sulk.

Until I saw the news.

I paled. Damn it. The Spirit had killed.

If I had been there, would he had done it? If I had stayed, waited with him, would that man still be alive?  

I withdrew further.
