THE SKY OVERHEAD SHOWED THE SUNSET HUES, THE BRIGHT BLUES FADING INTO THE FAMILIAR ORANGES, PURPLES AND PINKS THAT OFTEN CAME WHEN THE SUN FADED AWAY INTO THE NIGHT SKY.
it was a dazzling sight, really.
a beautiful display of mother nature's beauty, her pure radiance.
from afar, we can now see a young girl with bright pink to bright green hair, sat on the engawa of the 'ubuyashiki mansion'.
her hair lay sprawled over her back, cascading down like a waterfall.
her usually bright lime green eyes were soft, staring up into the oncoming night.
she lay equipped with a small wooden stick with a pink gem at the end in her hand, she was dressed in what most people would consider odd clothes.
it was a mid-thigh pleated skirt with a grey vest over, underneath was a white button up and a yellow and black tie. overtop she wore long black robes that reached her mid-calf, on her right breast lay a crest that was yellow and black and had a badger residing in the middle. labelled underneath was the word 'hufflepuff', meaning patient, fair and hard-working.
that perfectly described the girl sitting there, waiting for something she couldn't quite figure out, though she knew she was waiting for something. or someone, maybe.
if you hadn't already figured it out, this girl is you.
you sit, vaguely thinking back to the slightly traumatic events that had just taken place.
you remember being hit in the head, and suddenly everything had went black.
but that was only for a short moment.
for a few seconds, your vision was black, but then you opened your eyes again, and you sat here, looking out on a large garden decorated with all the flowers you could possibly imagine.
it had a large, marble fountain and rock footpaths leading down to a small pond, a small vegetable patch, along with a strawberry patch.
it was a beautiful sight, your lips being parted as you gaze out.
you had no sense of where you were, or could be, and yet, you felt the most at peace you had ever felt.
you didn't know if it was the house, the garden, or somebody who resided inside.
but something or someone was just oozing tranquility, any panics from your mind instantly fading as if they were never there.
your wand was in your hand, but you felt no need to squeeze it tight and aim it anywhere.
was this a dream?
had you falled into a deep slumber, being blessed with the sight of this beautiful garden?
or was this the afterlife?
had that hit been so hard you lost your life and this was where you would spend the rest of eternity?
a deep sigh leaves your soft lips as you hold your hands together in your lap, swaying your feet back and forth softly over the ledge of the engawa.
your head tilts to the side as the small clink of a glass against the wooden flooring reaches your ears.
you blink downwards, watching as a porcelain teacup on a china plate is placed softly down beside your thigh, being patterned in white and blue.
your eyes drift upwards the arm that had placed it there, your eyes meeting the face of a man.
he had shoulder length, choppy black hair, spread over his face was a shocking purple scar. it looked as if it was a sickness of sorts.
but despite that, what most stood out on this man, was his kind and gentle smile.
it was so gentle it sent slight shockwaves through you.
your eyes widen slightly, lips parting.
the man takes a seat beside you, now also staring out to the garden.
though you could tell by the scar covering his eyes that he could no longer see that beautiful view.
you frown softly.
"is the sky beautiful tonight"
you blink in soft shock at the man's similar gentle voice.
you purse your lips, looking up at the sky.
"yes. it's a mix of orange, purple and pink, they're all fading in with each other. the sun has nearly set"
the man nods softly.
your gaze slowly drifts to him, "you.. you're kagaya ubuyashiki, aren't you?" you murmur.
he smiles, turning to you and nodding softly.
"yes"
you purse your lips, "why.. am i here?"
you question softly.
he smiles, "well, it appears you haven't been having the best time lately, have you?"
you look down at your lap, "uh.. no" you mumble.
he nods.
"i assume you have realised you are the descendant of my beloved child, mitsuri kanroji, correct?"
you hum in agreement, "yes, i have had a dream like this before.."
he smiles, "then, i must let you know, that mitsuri has suffered the same"
your eyes widen slightly.
"it was for some different reasons, though. but over the same cause. she was bullied for her hair colour and supposedly abnormal strength"
you touch your now pink and green hair, really only just having noticed it was back to that colour instead of [hair colour].
you purse your lips.
"and just like i told her, anyone who makes fun of another for things like that are merely jealous"
your eyes widen slightly.
"they're jealous they do not possess the same attributes as you, because in their minds, they know they're actually very impressive and cool"
your chest all of a sudden felt lighter, as if a massive weight had been lifted off of you.
he didn't say much, but it was like he just knew all the right words.
"your strength is nothing to be afraid nor insecure of. it is truly impressive. and your hair is nothing to be insecure of, either. it is beautiful and anyone who says otherwise is simply jealous"
you feel tears brim your eyes as you gulp softly, "re..really?" you whisper.
the man nods, "yes"
all of a sudden, you burst into tears, wailing loudly while desperately trying to wipe them.
"WAAAH! I'M SORRY!" you sob loudly, ubuyashiki chuckles softly.
"do not apologize, child. you have nothing to be sorry about"
and without a second thought, you leaped over, embracing the man.
he was slightly shocked, but melted into the warm hug, wrapping his arms gently around you, too.
you sob into his shoulder, thanking him repeatedly.
but all of a sudden, you feel your vision start to blur again.
you pull back, slightly panicked.
"wha- what's happening?!"
ubuyashiki hums, "ah, it appears you are returning now"
you frown deeply, "but.. i don't want to go.."
he smiles warmly, "do not fret, child. i have no doubt we'll be seeing each other again. besides, i'm sure your friends are missing you dearly"
and with that, your presence and being whisked away, being casted back into the body that lay in hogwarts' hospital wing, heavily bandaged.
