Draining

"So then, that's great," He began, "Now I know I was a horrible person. But I already knew that! Why did I kill her?" He asked.

"How should I know? I'm not you!" I argue.

"Half your story didn't even have anything to do with what I did!" He replied.

"I just told you the whole story!" I retorted.

"Well great, now I just wanna blow myself up. That's fantastically wonderful! Ah! Why the hell did you tell me that anyway?" He began, frustrated.

"Because you wanted me to!" I said, "It's not like I wanted to relive my mom's death you know.."

He didn't reply to this and then I wished I hadn't said that. Now we just, didn't talk..And I started to feel the faint fatigue on my body. And in a flash it all pinged on my at once. A sharp, intense throb to my head, as if a high pitched note of an instrument, wailing and off key, was ringing in your ear. I covered my ears automatically, even though it wasn't a sound that was causing this. Immediately, I dropped to the ground and Toshiro rushed over.

"What's wrong? Are you ok?" He ask.

"Obviously not you block head," I muttered, "It just seems as though my time ran out..I was hoping to get some training in but.."

I held on to my stomach hard as the slit was, yet again, carved ever so slowly and tortuously through me. The blood because to spread out along the ground as I winced, the slashes still continuing. Until finally, everything had returned. Ever bruise, scratch, wound. This was not too good. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Because now I can't get treatment.

"Those wounds..There in the same places as...Could it be that...That magically looking thing you did back in the forest...It's only temporary?" He asked.

I manage to muster a nod before crying out as the cut reached through to my organs.

Ichi-nii is skilled in everything. Especially long-distance magic and communication. He can transport certain things to people, and in a drastic situation such as mine, he was able to channel a water mage's power through him to me and make the lake I was standing in become healing water. This though, would not last long because the healing was fake and took place without the healer actually being there. And since I forgot about the wound, what with everything else going on, this just happened to come along right when I'm not near any medical care. Shit! I'm in real trouble.

"I...Ah...Crap, what should I do?" He begins, "She's going to die again!"

"..Shut up you ass.." I burst out between pants, I'm finding it harder to grasp air..

"I can.." I took a deep breath, "Still rejuvenate..." I managed to try and give him a reassuring smile but all it does is worry him more. Funny though, I don't think I've ever seen those teal eyes worried about anything. And just as they are intimidating in battle, they are commanding when in need. He needs something from me by that look. But it's more like a plead. And of course I didn't know what. I mean, to him, he just met me..What does he want me to do? Live? Why the hell does he even care what happens to me..He doesn't "know" me anymore...

As the blood spread to where he was sitting he began in a low voice, somewhat broken, "How can I...How can I be so hopeless. I can't just watch you die..I won't let anyone die..I'm not...I can't!" He said.

My eyes widened. At first, I though, what the hell is he talking about..But then I realized it. Subconscious desires. No, get your perverted mind away from the other desires, I mean this; no one wants to see another die and know they can do nothing to stop it. That feeling of hopelessness, I've felt it and seen it in the eyes of too many. But Toshiro, never. Because he always had the power to take lives, and he was never in the position where he couldn't stop one from being taken. And now, his eyes are just so...Unbearably...Their searching, for some way, begging for something-some power-that can help me.

I grit my teeth and lift myself up slowly, one hand on the ground, another gripping my stomach with despite so, is flooding the ground with blood. I don't have enough spirit energy to stop it..So if I don't do something I will die..And this boy..I can't call him Toshiro anymore. Because he's not the same person. Hell, he want to help me. That in itself would've been impossible to the other Toshiro. And if he wants to help..

"I'm not going to die you retard," I muttered. "If you want to help..Just.." I gasped for breath. And instead of finishing the sentence, I bring my hand in in order to signal he need to approach me.

What am I doing? I can't do this..Not to someone as clueless as he is..If I do, he...But I am! And before I can stop myself...I'm doing what I'm not supposed to do, what no one's supposed to do, especially not with permission. I desperately needed to be healed and..He has not use for his spirit energy..And I know he has a lot..He could live if I take some, right? No, I shouldn't be doing this..I..I'm committing the unspoken forbidden act..I'm going to drain him...Going to take it..

"This is.." I take a deep breath, looking down. Taking my hands, I places the both on his shoulders ad he looks at the blood on either hand. "..Going to hurt.."

His eyes widened and I could see he looked for a second, like he was ready to chicken out. But then he just..Went back to normal and nodded his head.

I'm going to take it..I need to take it..

His life's energy.

I grab on tight to his shirt and pull him in, pressing his lips against mine.
