Author's Note: The change in names from the English version of Teknoman/Tekkaman Blade I to the English version of Tekkaman Blade II is a personal pet peeve of mine, so I sort of 'fixed' it in this fic. Star and Blade/Slade intentionally changed their names to Aki and D-Boy. Though why they did this is a mystery to me as well. O:)

Blood
Aki collapsed, slumping against the wall. She shivered under the flowing warm water.
Blood.
It felt like blood, raining down on her from the mortal wound of one of her enemies. A wound she had inflicted on another sentient creature. Their thoughts and feelings may not be the same as hers, but they were thoughts and feelings nonetheless.
"Aki?" D-Boy was standing outside the bathroom. "...Are you alright?"
How could you deal with it when you were still Blade?! she wanted to ask. But she knew that would be futile; he hardly remembered the past, let alone that grievous part.
So instead, she weakly called out for him to come inside. Even without memories, he understood the stickiness of blood.
