“Amane amane! Can we play today?” Tsukasa asked, following Hanako down the hallway.
“Not today!” hanako said, hastily walking, it was clear he was mad at something but tsukasa didn't know why.
During that fight with the shadow entity nene had injured her wing badly, and hanako needed to keep an eye on it so she could heal properly, as the two boys walked into the bathroom lit by the rays of the full moon, nene was there in deep sleep. With her wing bandaged she couldn't close it as she would make it even worse, so hanako had to keep an eye on her so she did not close it.
Hanako sighed in relief.
“Who’s that amane?” tsukasa asked, walking closer to the alicorn.
Hanako stopped him.
“Yashiro is my ‘best friend’ tsukasa, she is healing at the moment so you can play with her until she heals and can fly again”
“I've never seen another alicorn before!” tsukasa said, interest growing clearly as to why there was another alicorn.
Nene got distressed in her sleep while the boys were talking which startled hanako.
“Tsukasa, I need you to leave!” Hanako whispered.
At that cue tsukasa had a big mischievous grin on his face and disappeared in the cloud of smoke.
Hanako didn't like that look his brother gave him, it always meant he was going to do something bad.
But he didn't want to think about that at the moment, all he wanted to do was protect yashiro, although he was a bit sleepy, which hadn’t happened within forty moons, so he hopped up next to yashiro, played down, and fell asleep.
*Nene’s dream*
It was dark, the only thing that was near her was hanako. But there was somepony else, dark princess celestia?! (a/n she will be referred to *the darkness*)
“Hanako, you know you can't be with her, it's against the rules!” the darkness said.
“I know but she is a ghost now so we can still be together!” his head started to bleed.
“Hanako? You're hurt!” nene said, but he couldn't hear her, neither could the darkness.
“Stop defying me hanako! Ghosts shouldn't be interacting with earth bound ponies!”
Next his cutie mark started to bleed.
“I'm the ruler of equestria! You should obey me!”
His eyes started bleeding.
As yashiro started to get frightened for her friend's safety, hanako turned around to face her. His moonlike amber eyes were now a red crimson, blood dripping down his face as it poured like a waterfall from his eyes.
“He-hel-help m-m-me-e” Hanako said clearly in pain.
“Hanako!” yashiro yelled as tears streamed down her face, and as hanako toppled down onto the pitch black floor, the dark princess jump-scared her.
And she woke up, startling hanako.
Tears were still streaming down her face, even after she woke up from the dream.
“Nightmare?” a half asleep hanako said.
“Yes.” yashiro whispered.
As the tears dripped down her cheeks, hanako used his hooves to wipe them up.
“It's ok. I'm here, Hanako said in a calming whisper voice as he hugged her.
“Go back to sleep, it's safe here”
In his hooves, she fell back asleep.
And he did too.
