The crossed paths

How to transform a good dream into a nightmare

-Geo...- whispered Yuno in the real life. Everybody looked at her.

-What's the matter, Yuno?

-Yukki... he gave me the power to get inside Tiger's mind.

-WHAT?!?! AND YOU DIDN'T TELL US?!?!

-Sorry, I was busy with the dream.

-The dream? Is he dreaming?- asked Atsuya confused.

-Yes. He's with Geo, like nothing happened. He don't want to wake up cause he's having such a great time.

-I see... what is he doing?

-Hunting Hollows and Titans.

-Why can't you wake him up?

-He don't want to do so. Sometimes Tiger's phone rings. When he answers, it's always you, Atsuya, calling him from the outside. But he thinks that you're playing.

-Ghht!!! That big idiot!!!

Suddenly, an earthquake surprised them and make the whole group fall.

-CHIKARA! HE'S NOT DEAD YET!- Screamed Ichigo.

-Do you have a plan, leader?

-Yeah. Julia! Atsuya! You two come with me! We are gonna fight Tiger! And the rest, stay here and protect Yuno. Her job is to wake him up. Transform the dream into a nightmare. If you need to kill Geo, do it.

Ichigo, Julia and Atsuya ran to where Tiger and Chikara were fighting, while Yuno sat down and closed her eyes.

In the "dream"

-Whoaa! I'm tired, Geo... let's return to the base. It's late.

-Hai! (Yes)

They walked and walked without saying anything. Tiger felt REALLY tired, but he didn't know why. He wasn't doing anything. Then why did his body hurt?

-Tiger.

Yuno finally talked. He turned around and smilled.

-Yay! You are ok, after all. You were so quiet...

-Tiger... what would you do if I tell you that this is only a dream?

-What?

...

-AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

-What's so funny?!

-It's the best joke you've never made. This? A dream? You should be kidding... well, I would like to keep dreaming. I don't want to wake up yet.

-You don't want to wake up?!

-Yeah. If it's a dream, then the time outside must be really slow. Nothing bad will happen. Now let's go! Geo! Wait for us!

-Tiger! This is serious. You must wake up now.

-Oe, Yuno, you're starting to scare me... let's just return to the base.

-... fine... but sorry if something bad happens.- she whispered. Tiger couldn't hear her.

They walked and walked and then they finally arrived to the base. It was empty.

-Looks like everybody is on a mission or sleeping. Well, who will cook?

-I will- answered Yuno smirking. She ran to the kitchen and closed the door without saying anything else. Geo and Tiger went to the living room and rested.

-Hey, Geo...

-What's the matter?

-Do you think this is a dream?
