Lumikki stood looking out the window frowning slightly as her tails swayed agitatedly. She'd gone up to Julian's room a few times trying to get ahold of him but he had never answered. Looking over at the two scarves on the bed, she had made one for him and one for Rosc. She hadn't known what colour to make Sin's so she hadn't made one for the ghoul yet. She probably could have gone over to see if Rosc was home to give him his. And maybe ask him what colours Sin liked but something told her not to bother him with something like that. Wandering back to her bed as she picked up the plushie she won at the K9 booth before laying back against the wall.

"I guess I can go talk to Rosc tomorrow..."

A scarf was the very least she could give him after his help when she had fallen. Shaking her head she looked at Julian's scarf. Too bad a scarf was all she could give him at the time being. After that talk with Rosc she was even to scared to think what Julian meant to her let alone admit out loud. Closing her eyes she drifted in to a fitful sleep.

------

Ears twitching as she blinked it sure was bright here. Head tilted to one direction then the other as she saw a familiar face.

"Hey its me...and Julian.

Frowning because she didn't recognize the memory. It was as if she was watching one of Medea's trance sessions.

"That's because it's not yours..." A soft voice came from behind her.

"Not mine? Well who's is it?"

She turned to look at the voice that spoke. Staring completely dumbfounded at the figure in front of her. It was a copy of her, well dressed differently but essentially it was her, ears twitching in mirrored movements she mused,

"Yours? You look like me...so how come they aren't my memories?"

The figment smiled so much like her, "Ah...well because I was made from your memories. And well this" waving her hand over the scene playing out, "this is my memory. My final days."

"Oh...well this place is nice...wait..your final days? As in you died...why?"

Mentally smacking herself, she didn't mean to ask that but it sort of came out. Looking completely ashamed she stood watching her other self.

"I always wondered where I got that from...I guess they pulled more of you then they thought. My purpose in this world, a world of kings and kingdoms, was small but I lived that life fully." She moved her hand again to change the scene to that of the White Kingdom, "This is where I lived, the Kingdom of Grief. My commander Wilson, he was our king."

As she spoke Lumikki watched the various people on the ship, she recognized a few, there was that Reaper she met in class a few times. What was his name again...wait?

"...wait...why are we kissing him? Does Julian...know?"

The colour in Lumikki's cheeks flared as she watched her other self fling her arms around his neck and kiss him in the heat of battle.

The figment shrugged. "I liked him...possibly even loved him at one point. Which reminds me."

Loved him? How could a figment of her even admit love, blinking a few times she looked back at the figment,

"Reminds you what? "

The figment smiled and waved her hand again allowing the scene to shift. She was standing at the base of a tower. "This is where I met Julian. You know him well do you not?" Not waiting for a response she continued, "He came looking for his friends. But when he had the chance to leave he didn't. Not right away that is he needed to find you. He came here for you."

Lumikki watched Julian embrace the figment as if his life depended on it. Feeling instant guilt over the fact that she knew that regardless of what she had done in this world Julian still held her so dearly.

"You love him...but you keep it hidden. Even from yourself."

"Wh..what do you mean I love him...I don't..."

"Yes you do. I'm a part of you don't try to lie. Besides...I knew him...in an instant, well that's not entirely true. He called my name and something just felt right. He held me as we died...protected me. I...I wanted to show you all this because I have a request."

A request what could this figment of her this copy with her own life and memories possibly want from her. Tilting her head inquisitively her tails swayed slowly

"A request? What sort of request?"

The figment smiled happily and grabbed at Lumikki's hand, "I would like to become a part of you. You would have these memories yes, but you would also have me to protect your heart. I see the look on your face I know that you guard your heart closely but it's not something you should hide. You don't understand how much you are missing by being so guarded. I can help, if you let me. My final wish before Julian left, I wished for hope..."

Without a single word Lumikki pulled her other self in to a hug. This was a part of her a part that seemed to show so much more emotion and trust. How could she possibly let her go, how could she possibly let such a beautiful creature fall. Even in her world a world of strange ships and kingdoms she still managed to find Julian maybe it wouldn't be bad to have those memories.

The fragment smiled and held on tighter, "I'll always be with you." she whispered before the light faded.

A quick jolt to the bed from Elektra woke Lumikki. She gasped as she looked around the room, rubbing her hand over her face she blinked as she saw a small faded mark on her palm. It faded like the dream the longer that she stared at it. Shaking her head she looked at the bookshelf that held a picture of her and Julian at the prom. Grabbing the scarf and something small from her desk she dashed out of the room determined to find Julian.
