Bloom had let her two dogs back inside and sat with the others to eat when she heard a low growl behind her. She turned to see her two dogs; Sparky was growling at a window, not in a threatening way, but as a warning to Bloom and the others that someone was out there; Puffle quietly walked over and began to sniff around the window, hoping to catch a familiar scent. He smelled something familiar because his head immediatly perked up and he ran back to Bloom and the others and jumped into her lap. She put a hand on his head and quietly whispered to the others "there's someone outside. Someone we've met before, and not an ally."

Bloom held her head again, this time more from being tired than a headache and nodded "yeah...sleep sounds nice..." she looked once more in the direction of the singing and continued "computer or not, music is music, at least to me, and I like it."

Bloom thought for a moment on what would make a place seem like virtual reality, but her thoughts were interrupted by singing. Bloom had always had a place in her heart for music and was instantly tuned into the song. She turned in the direction the voice was coming from and asked "you guys hear that. its singing!" She thought for a moment, listening to the music, before continuing "I've heard that voice before. When we first arrived here: it belongs to Miku!"

(( it's alright, Magnaraku ))

Bloom smiled, her headache receeding a bit. "Its nothing much," she explained to Lily, "I think its just from using so much power. By the way, what do you mean by wierd?" Bloom had always taken everything that happened as something that was normal, and never questioned any of it, until now. Is something wrong in this world...and if there is, is a piece of the jewel involved she thought.

"I'm alright" Bloom said, slowly standing up. She wobbled a little then found her balance. She tiredly smiled at the two and added "just a little exhausted and a little headache. I wish I could've been more help, though."

Bloom waited until Kurogane had stopped laughing and things had returned to normal before she turned and went back into the house. The vegetables had to be sliced before dinner could be ready.

Bloom had only been unconcious for a brief time, but then she had slipped into a dream. There was darkness. She was floating in darkness. Then there was a flash of golden light, which subsided to reveal a small house. Outisde the front door sat an odd-looking creature...Phee-chan! It was making a mewling noise at the door, which opened, and out of the house stepped...herself. It was Bloom, but the one in the house was only ten years old. Bloom knew this vision well, it was the first memory she could ever remember. Anything from before that day was lost to her. Bloom watched her memory unfold when she heard someone call her name, waking her up.

Bloom slowly opened her eyes to see Lily and Fai. She was still exhausted from using so much power, yet she knew that she needed to get up. She struggled into a sitting position then looked around and asked, "is the Oni gone? Was anyone hurt? How long have I been out?"

Bloom saw Pan run outside and then heard a big loud noise. She hurriedly put down the knife and ran to the door to see Fai, Pan and Kurogane, who was laughing, standing outside a shed. Sparky and Puffle had also heard the commotion and were now standing a ways off, making sure everything was alright. Everyone appeared to be fine, so Bloom leaned against the doorframe and watched the group outside. She would continue to cut the vegetables in a moment.

Bloom happily smiled back "thanks! Hope it wasn't too much trouble, it sounds like that shed is really getting full." She proceeded to chop the vegetables as she continued, "I could hear things crashing all the way from here, and not just little things either. I hope you didn't get hurt."

Bloom smiled back at Pan "well, sure. I'd love to help. Hello Sakura," she added as she went over to the vegetables. She heard the pitter patter of paws on the floor behind her and looked down at her two dogs. She sighed and made an odd whistling noise and the two dogs took off outside.

"Hey Pan, where do you keep your knives?" she asked, looking around for them.
