Haruko snorted when she felt Tak-kun drift off to sleep. The shock of it made him sleep, and she found it funny. Sleep does sound like a plan, though. Having a person being shoved up your womb can be quite draining. She walked over to Tak-kun's bunk and lied down in it. Haruko was asleep in less than 5 minutes.

Naota was floating in darkness...and in water. He opened his eyes to see that he was indeed in darkness.
"Who am I?"
The voice was his own, distorted by the water. He hadn't spoken himself, but the voice was his nontheless.
"I'm....Haruko's son" he said aloud.
"You already had a mother...she died 4 years ago..and your brother ran away from home"
The darkness seemed to brighten a bit, and he was no longer in water. He was now in a large chamber of some sort.
Naota was in the middle of some kind of platform. He couldn't see anything beyond it, just darkness.
"[Haruko, make your report]"
The voice wasn't in Japanese, or English. Yet, Naota understood it.
"Shove it, Crowler" said Haruko.
Naota looked around to see that Haruko was right beside him. Haruko looked at him and gave her toothy grin. Then, everything went white.
Naota found himself in his room...but it wasn't his room exactly. The walls of the room was pinkish and wrinkly...like a womb. It was as if his room was now inside Haruko's womb.
"Intresting dreams you're having, huh son?"
Naota looked around to see Haruko sitting at his desk.
"I'm not your son" said Naota.
"Oh...so you do have some spunk left" said Haruko. She didn't sound angry. In fact, she looked pleased.
"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Naota. "and why are you in my dreams?"
"Another side effect of the unbirthing process" said Haruko, pinking her nose with her toe. "we can enter each other's dream now"
"Who's Crowler?"
"Nobody" said Haruko, with just a hint of anger in her voice.
"C'mon, mom" said Naota. "you can tell me"
"I'm happy to see that you stil call me 'mom'" said Haruko. "you have some spunk left, but not a lot. That's the way I like you"
Haruko produced a hand-held mirror from nowhere, and showed Naota the reflection in it. What Naota saw in the mirror made him gasp.
He had light pink hair like Haruko's, and looked more like Haruko.
"Like your new look?" asked Haruko, giving her toothy grin.
"I'm....I'm..." Naota started to say. "I don't like it, mom"
"You know, I don't like it either" said Haruko. "I like you to look more like yourself, but I just LOVE that pink hair"
"Please don't give me pink hair!" yelled Naota.
"You shouldn't yell at your mother like that" said Haruko. "you deserve a spanking"
That's when Naota woke up with a start.
