Chapter 2- Comatose (Skillet)
Summary of Chapter- To get to Volcano Hill, The Underworld god Giratina and the Gratitude Gijinka Shaymin Must cross the Domain of Articuno; Frost Desert.
The icy cold wind howled and battered the duo of Shaymin and Giratina, seeming to laugh in evil glee as the pair staggered onwards into the blizzard.
"I hate feeling like this
I'm so tired of trying to fight this
I'm asleep and all I dream of
Is waking to you"
The female of the pair was taking it worst. Ice hanged from her hair and her skin was red with the ice wind biting at her exposed flesh. Her hazel eyes were dull, like she was drugged and she seemed to be about to faint. She didn't though.
"Tell me that you will listen
Your touch is what I'm missing
And the more I hide I realize
I'm slowly losing you "
"Shaymin." Giratina turned just in time to see her fall to the ground, finally giving into exhaustion and the numb cold.
"Shaymin!"
"Urr..." She sounded so weak, Giratina noted with worry.
"You stupid bitch...I told thee not to come..."
"..."
Giratina knelt beside the fallen Gijinka, pushing back his own feeling of total cold. Shaymin was now pale faced, her face a mask of discomfort, unconscious. He felt, with alarm, her body cool down slowly; a contrast to the usual heat emanating from the girl.
"Mew, she's dying..."
He gathered her in his arms, picking the limp form up, and determaindly marched on, ignoring the biting cold or the freezing wind.
"...And I'll be damned if I'll let her die in my care!"
"Comatose
I'll never wake up without an
overdose of you"
The Underworld god sat in the cave, the fire burning fitfully, trying to revive the frozen Gratitude Gijinka on his lap.
"I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe
'Less I feel you next to me
You take the pain I feel
(Waking up to you never felt so real)"
The darkness scared her.
Shaymin would never admit it, but the colour black scared the shit out of her. Even night time frightened her. She used to sleep with a light on when she was a child.
In fact, her parents made sure that nothing black was ever in her presence.
So, that ment no funerals for them.
Or, weddings, for that matter.
Shaymin was scared of anything to do with darkness.
Well, everything except Giratina.
She wasn't scared of Giratina.
'Now', Shaymin mussed, 'On that track of thought...'
Giratina was the god of the Underworld. What you may call the 'Grim Reaper'. He was the embodiment of darkness. His control over the Underworld was absolute, and even her Parents feared him.
Yet, for some obscure reason, she didn't fear him. Not even a tiny bit.
Maybe because she l-
"Shaymin."
Shaymin's track of thought was interrupted by a cold voice.
"I hate living without you
Dead wrong to ever doubt you
But my demons lay in waiting
Tempting me away"
"Yes?"
"You are Here."
"Well, no s-"
"I mean, this is Here."
"Here? You mean-"
"Yes. You are dying."
"I am!"
"I am afraid so."
"Well, where's the Afterlife and Underworld thing?"
"Your situation is interesting."
"Meaning?"
"He wants you to be alive."
"He? You mean-"
"The god of the Underworld wants you to live."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Why?"
"He seems to...want you to live. An unusual choice, considering His position."
Shaymin gaped.
"he- but-what-"
The being smiled coldly.
"You have a choice..."
"Oh, how I adore you
Oh, how I thirst for you
Oh, how I need you"
The snow was howling louder than ever. Shaymin's condition was unchanged, to Giratina's chagrin and relief.
"Please...Shaymin..."
Shaymin's spirit hovered over the scene, her face mirroring her suprise. Her body was held close to the Renegade, who was shivering and...
Shaymin almost fainted.
"He's crying?" Her voice went unheard to the Renegade below, who was desperately praying that Shaymin should wake up.
"Yes." The glowing being beside her spoke in a soft voice.
"Why?"
"You must love that word..." The being muttered. "Because he needs his counterpart."
"What?"
"Counterpart. Like Dialga is Palkia's Counterpart, and Groudon is Kyorge's, the same is with you and Him."
"Oh. I understand."
"Comatose
I'll never wake up without an overdose of you
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe
'Less I feel you next to me
You take the pain I feel
(Waking up to you never felt so real)"
Giratina muttered a harsh oath as Shaymin's body began to heat up.
"Mew...is she...?"
Shaymin opened her eyes slowly and, smirking weakly, murmured in a weak yet teasing voice,
"Haha, you're crying..."
The gratitude Gijinka got the breath squeezed out of her as the Renegade hugged her form, holding her close, whispering in some ancient language.
"I don't wanna sleep, I don't wanna dream
'Cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way you make me feel
(Waking up to you never felt so real)"
"You stupid bitch..." he growled in relief, clinging to her as if she would leave if he didn't/
"Never die on me again!"
"No promises..."
He released her abrupt;y and looked at the ground.
"I mean it. Never do that again, or I'll..."
Shaymin moved from his lap onto the cold floor and felt the wind instantly chill her to the bone. She shivered.
Giratina saw this and, with great reluctance, moved over and pulled her into a one arm embrace.
"You'll what?" Her voice was sleepy, but she forced herself to stay awake.
"Breathing life, waking up
My eyes open up"
Giratina looked into her hazel eyes.
"Comatose I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe I don't wanna sleep, I don't wanna dream
I'll never wake up without an overdose of you
'Less I feel you next to me
You take the pain I feel
(Waking up to you never felt so real)
'Cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way you make me feel
(Waking up to you never felt so real)
"I will go to the Underworld and wrest thy soul and bring it back..."
"Really?"
"Yes. You would be miserable."
"How do you know?"
"Trust me."
"Not likely."
"Wise decision."
Shaymin rested her head under Giratina's head and slowly drifted off to sleep; despite the freezing temperature, the thrill of dying and the security of Giratina's presence overcame her wish to stay awake.
Giratina blushed slightly as Shaymin dozed off, nuzzling his neck. The Renegade began to chant almost inaudible voice in a dead language, absently pulling the girl next to him closer and absorbing her warmth and purring in content.
The weather howled on, but the two Gijinkas in the cave ignored the sound and focused on the feel of each other's presence.
"Oh, how I adore you
(Waking up to you never felt so real)
Oh, how I thirst for you
(Waking up to you never felt so real)
Oh, how I adore you
The way you make me feel
(Waking up to you never felt so real")
I dislike the ending.
And, the song sorta fits...i guess...
GxS owns. If any disagree, well, I shall call my NINJA DIALGA to USED ROAR OF TIME ON ALL FLAMES! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
