After several minutes of much-needed relief, Ash fell asleep, alone.
Keiko hadn't gotten in bed by the time Ash's mind drifted away. She hadn't expected to have a dream similar to the one from before, but alas, she wound up in a black room. Her eyelids felt like someone was pulling them down, she tried to breathe in but no air came to her lungs. Then, the darkness faded, replaced by a swirling of colors that nearly blinded her.
The same woman from before appeared in front of her and Ash's eyes widened.
"You!" She thought and the woman silently chuckled. She walked up to her and tilted her head up with a finger on her chin. Then, as she leaned in and kissed Ash's lips, the half-demon felt herself getting warmer. The mere presence of the golden entity in front of her was burning Ash's skin.
"Who are you?" Ash asked.
