Description As if she were blind, the young girl touched anything she could around her, trying to feel it, in order to find her way in the heavy darkness. She closed her eyes, hoping to feel safer like that. Maybe, if she won't know where she is going, she will not know what to be afraid of. But it didn't change anything. It didn't change the darkness, and it didn't change her fear – the fear of the unknown.

"Please, mother, stop that."

She looked around, trying to find the one who talked to her. It was the same familiar voice from her dreams. A voice of a kid. The voice of someone who is dear to her.

"Mother, please, listen to me! Stop that! You'll lose your mind!"

She was just a girl, but the sense she wasn't supposed to have yet awaked within her. The crazy sense of a loving mother made stopped her from keeping moving.

I'm just a girl. How can I dream about the son I don't have? She thought.

"It's okay, mother. I'm back. You can wake up now." She heard the voice again.

Jinnie woke up, and forgot the dream immediately.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Is she here?" Kamejya got up quickly.

Syaoran got up too, confused. He couldn't remember he told Linone his real name.

"What happened?" He asked.

Linone smiled a friendly smile, tries to calm Syaoran down.

"Everything is fine, Gudamera, you can stay here." Syaoran calmed down. Linone called him Gudamera, which means he probably just imagined Linone calling him by his real name.

Kamejya sighed happily, and ran out of the room.

"Excuse me," Linone said and bowed. "I'll go with Kamejya now." She left the room too.

Syaoran wondered what happened, and received his answer at the same moment. The house was small enough so Syaoran could hear what happened in the main room.

"Ah! Your precious son is here." An unfamiliar voice was heard. "It's nice to see you again, Sha-o-ran." The voice divided the name to syllables.

So Syaoran didn't imagine it. Linone did say his real name.

So… who has my name too?

When Syaoran and Kamejya woke up, Linone called one of them Syaoran for sure. Now, someone else called someone in the main room Syaoran.

Does it mean… they called Kamejya by my name? But… why?

"You have to answer when I talk to you!" The new voice said. "Even if you don't like it, and even if you'll try to hide behind fake names, your name is Syaoran! This is the name that was chosen for you, and you will accept it, like your mother and brother accepted their new names!"

In this place, Syaoran remembered what Kamejya said yesterday. If they'll know your real name and decide that it's illegal, you'll end just like me… or worse than me.

Syaoran remembered Kamejya's mouth slip, when Kamejya almost told Syaoran his real name. A name he was not born with, but a name that someone from outside chose for him.

Tell me a fake name, and keep yourself alive.

Now Syaoran knew. If he told his real name, maybe it would be taken from him. Names have a great power. His father told him once. It is the power of deciding your life. Once someone gives you a new name, your life changes completely. When Syaoran's father gave him his name, Syaoran's life started. It was the first name someone ever gave him, according to what he remembers. He thought more than once about the option of discovering where he came from, and maybe his original life. Maybe, He thought then. It will be hard for me to accept my original identity, because for me, I'm only Syaoran.

But Kamejya, for himself, was someone else. Anyone, but only not Syaoran.

So Syaoran decided to find out why Kamejya's name was taken from him, and who he really is.

But just then he fell asleep into another dream, when he found the Syaoran from his previous dream. He looked at the other Syaoran, and the other Syaoran looked at him.

"Mother, please," The other Syaoran cried. Not to Syaoran himself, but to someone else.

"Listen to me, stop that!" The other Syaoran continued. "You'll lose your mind!"

Syaoran turned around to see who the other Syaoran is talking to, and saw there a young girl.
