Chapter 7
Nnoitra shivered underneath Nel as she struggled to keep alive long enough to heal his wounds,he was lying in the sand whilst Nel sat on his lap spreading her healing saliva across his chest. As looked down onher he could see her getting paler and her eyelids fluttering downwards before she snapped them back up again in frustration, his hands held her waist, keeping pressure on her wounds whilst she healed him and he could feel the blood seeping through his fingers. As the saliva hit his wounds it beagn to turn icy cold before a sensation of tiny, painful pinpricks spread throughout his chest, he looked down at hisself to watch the wounds close up slowly and delecately with no trace that he had ever been hit. Once one wound was healed Nel moved to the next untill al of his wounds were completely healed and good as new. She was exhausted and dying,she panted heavily, too weak to move from Nnoitra's lap, as she sat there she began to feel herself drifting away slowly, the world was being swallowed into a giant black mass and it was taking her with it. She began to think over what Nnoitra had told her before he passed out, he had said that he loved her- and she had never felt so happy, she had hoped that one day he would return her feelings but he had broken her heart when he and Szyel had attaked and banished her. Now she was dying and had too many things to say to him- it may be her last chance.
Nnoitra sat watching her on his knee, he saw her get paler and saw more blood seep from her wound, he wondered why she never healed herself- couldn't she see that she was dying? Suddenly Nel turned to face him, jerking him from his thoughts, her face looked saddened and her amazing hazel orbs were glinting with tears. "Nnoitra I... I love you" she choked out through sobs, his heart melted and his body became light as air at her words, he pulled her to his chest and held her there, embracing her like he had always wanted to, he could feel her body wracking with sobs. Suddenly her body stopped shaking and became limp, slumped against his chest, Nnoitra held her out from his embrace, examining her- she wasn't breathing and her face was deathly pale. "Nel, wake up... wake up... Nel please...don't leave me" he sobbed against her body, cradling her like a baby. He shook her but she still didn't wake, he tried talking to her, tickling her, pinching her- but still she remained still, in the ned Nnoitra had to admit the bitter defeat, "NOOOOOO" he screamed through his sobs, her face looked so peaceful and beautiful, and yet her body was so broken and defiled, Nnoitra wiped his eyes and scooped her body into his arms, never wanting to let her go. He leant forwards to kiss her silent lips, seeing how the saliva glistened in the sunlight. "That's it, saliva" he whispered to himself, his heart began to race and soar with hope ashe began his work. He ripped a long line from the bottom of Nel's already ripped and revealing clothes, he then apologised before placing the cloth into her mouth until it was wet with her saliva, he then spread the wat cloth along her wonds and watched as they began to smoke and close. Nnoitra then lay her down gently on the grass, pushing her hair from her face, he than sat on the sand next to her, watching and waiting with hope.
"Please work...please come back to me... don't leave me" he kept repeating under his breath, after a long period of time had passed and Nel had not awoken or moved Nnoitra decided it best to give up -again. His head dropped down as hisbody began to wrack with sobs that gradually became louder untill they became heart wrenching screams of pain. He scrunched his eyes up tight, wishing the images of her body out of his mind. An almost silent cough by the side of him brought his screams to an abrupt stop, he opened his eyes in shock and disbelief- did he imagine it? Nnoitra listened harder, straining his ears untill another almost silent cough sounded from next to him. Immediately he looked down at Nel's body- she was breathing! Short breaths came from her, Nnoitra knelt beside her, scooping her up into his lap again as he did before, wanting his face to be the first she saw when she awoke, after a few seconds her cheeks began to pinken up and the peachy colour returned to her once pallid face, as he watched further her eyes began to flutetr gracefully untill once again Nnoitra was staring into those beautiful Hazel eyes he loved, "Nel" he said, breathtaken.
