Kimi's dream:
Sat in an empty room with only the chair she was on and one opposite where her over half Ivory was sitting.
"So now you know who you are, what you are going to do?" asked ivory
"I don't know, I want to stay with Theo but if I'm found to be alive I'll probably have to go back to the duties of a death god" Kimi looked a little apprehensive "it's not like I don't like my work and god knows I do my job sufficiently, I just love being with Theo so much"
"Maybe you should talk to him about it, I bet he will understand since he used to be a death god too" suggested ivory "since I'm technically you so I can only tell you what your thinking already"
"I know but I'm worried what he will say, when he finds out I'm a death god, plus I don't want him to worry, I hate it when he worries about me" confessed Kimi
"He only worries because he cares, he's the one of the few who have ever cared about us, and the only one we have cared about, so just tell him the truth" says Ivory thoughtfully
"Ok I'll tell him" replied Kimi
"Oh before you go here have some more of your memories" Ivory's words unlocking the rest of Kimi's mind showing her, her memories in the same high speed brain zapping way as the last time.
As she watched she saw a memory that caught her interest, it was when she was training to be a full fledged death god; she had snuck out of her room purely out of boredom, and was wondering around when she heard voices coming from one of the offices. Her curiosity got the best of her as she decided to eavesdrop on their conversation, she recognised one of the voices as her weaponry tutor but she didn't know who the other belong to so see peeked in to have a look at the other person.
The voice belonged to a tall thin man dressed in a long grey trench coat, a white shirt with a black tie and grey trousers and was carrying a silver scythe that was decorated with a skull and a ring of thorns. His had a handsome face with a wide grin, extremely vivid green eyes and silver framed glasses, his hair was a light grey, waist length with a few long plaits running throw it.
"if I was petty, I would say your popularity was unfair, it always seem like you get all the noble and important people, and I get to train the death-gods-to-be in this poor excuse for a school" the tutor remarked much to the amusement of the grey haired man
"well I guess that's what comes from being good at you job~" he chuckled, "I thought you liked teaching~ I think it would be fun to teach since you can tease the students how much you want, which would be a amusing way to spend your time~"
"don't get me wrong I do like teaching, its just it's there's no recognition in it, no matter how hard I work, if the students don't care enough to put the effort in, and they don't pass exams, I get the blame one way or another" moaned the tutor,
"Aww poor Stevey, your problem is that you take everything to seriously, you need to relax a bit" the grey haired man laugh lightly obviously enjoying teasing the other man. The younger Ivory couldn't help but laugh, she accidentally laugh a little to loud, as the grey haired man picked up on her presence he was thankfully the only one since 'Stevey' was to wrapped up in his self pity. The man turned his head smiled at her gave her a wink before turning back to the other man who hadn't seen the movement at all and they carried on taking…
Coming out of the memory she couldn't help but giggle to herself, 'so Theo's always been one to tease' she thought, she also had to admit that in that form he was rather attractive. Anyway time to wake up…..

Outside Kimi's head:
Theo lay next to Kimi watching her sleep, which was a peculiar experience that never fails to amuse him; this morning was no different, as Kimi was talking in her sleep but only snippets of sentences where audible but what was weird was she was actually laughing in her sleep something he had never seen or heard her do before.
"Watching me sleep were we?" asked Kimi suddenly opening a eye, making Theo jump ever so slightly, seeing his reaction made her laugh, something he hadn't heard her do properly in a while.
Grinning innocently back at her "no like I'd do something like that~" he chuckled,
She opened her other eye, "Theodore Warren, why are you lying to me?" she chuckled before thinking 'drat I shouldn't have done that'
Theo looked dumbstruck when he heard that she had spoken his full name, "h-h-how do you know my old name? Does that mean…" he asked slightly more seriously then his usual tone
"That's for me to know and you to find out" she giggled, coughing lighting which slowly got worse, so much so she had to cover her mouth with a hand, looking down she saw blood rolling from her hand "well that definitely not helpful" she muttered falling unconscious her hand fall to her side revealing the blood in her palm.
'Ivory were we too late… is my soul dying?' she thought
'No it's just your body trying to get rid of the bullet that was shot into your head' Ivory's response echoed back
'Ok'
"K…Kimi, Kimi? What's the matter?" seeing the blood in her hand, Theo started to panic "Kimi come on wake up, please Kimi…" he still got no reply.
No matter how worried he was he had to get work done since their guest where being picked up later that day, and maybe it would be good to take his might off things for a while. The only problem was that he couldn't concentrate, he was concerned about Kimi, plus the fact that she had used his full name kept swirling round his head.
For her to known his name she had to a …. Death god, but if she was how could she have almost died from just a bullet to the head, that wouldn't kill a death god, it didn't add up. Wait a minute… if she called me that, that must mean she somehow got her memory back…. But when? Could it have been yesterday after that happened, it would explain her sudden appearance change…
He shook his head to get rid of his thoughts, as he did he noticed that he still hadn't covered he's eyes, which he proceeded to do as well as replacing his hat on his head before going back to work….

Slowly regaining consciousness, Kimi cautiously opened her eyes, to find the room was dark, and she was alone.
"Oh great I've lost another day" moaned Kimi noticing that the curtains was still open, turn over covering her face with the pillow "why does my body hate me so, to keep losing consciousness"
'Its all part of regaining your memories, it's putting a lot of strain on your mind as well as your body, plus your death god self a.k.a me is trying to recover from the bullet made of a melted down death god scythe' replied Ivory inside her head
'You could have said before, how do you know it was made from a death god scythe?' Kimi thought
'I could just feel it was, plus it's the only thing that could kill a death god'
'O…k that would explain why I was technically dead for 4 days, but how did those men get hold of death scythe bullets?
'That I don't know, as I can only tell you information you already knew or have stored'
'I know, I was just wondering'
'Ok but as soon as you're back to you old self we need to find out about it before they target more death gods'
'Indeed we do, bye for now'
'Bye...'
Kimi turned over again and tried to sit up but she couldn't due to her current lack of energy, she felt like screaming from frustration but she laughed instead as she thought 'oh yes look at me now, the mighty death god unable to sit up by herself never mind do anything else' "this must be how a turtle feels" she chuckles giving up after her fourth attempt. 'Might as well go to sleep since Theo is probably busy and I don't want to disturb him, any more then I already have' she thinks turning on her side and closing her eyes.

Dream:
Kimi and Theo sat in the living room talking:
"You didn't you tell me about the dream?" asked Theo
"I didn't want to worry you, I'm sorry" said Kimi
"Even though you didn't tell me I was still worried,"
"Theo I have something to tell you… I'm a death god…"
it starts to twist, Theo's face turns cruel and unforgiving…
"how dare you hide this from me, how could you be a death god your so weak and useless, that you nearly died from a human bullet….
"Get out; get out of my home…
Weakling…
Useless…
Good for nothing…
You will never amount to nothing…
So go off and die in a gutter like you where suppose to… "
His voice echo's as his words repeat themselves back to her….

CRASH
Kimi falls out of bed waking herself up, which she was really glad of for that dream was truly horrible… feeling like she was going to start coughing again, she get to her hands and knees and crawls to the bathroom closing and locking the door. Just as she get to the sink as she starts coughing, she quickly put the plug in, so if the bullet comes out theirs no chance that it could go down the sink, as she will be needing it to show was evidence. She was secretly hoping it did this time round since coughing up blood was not an enjoyable experience, and the metallic taste in her mouth after was equally horrid.
And fortunate on the four cough it fall into the sink with a soft clag, but the only problem she didn't have time to be glad as a soaring pain ran through her, so intense it made her scream in agony.
'What's happening ivory? I'm scared'
'Don't worry Kimi, you'll be ok your just changing back into a death god, soon you will be whole again, and this will be all over'
Hurried footsteps could be heard coming down the hall, She had obviously woke Theo, this was bad she didn't want him to see her like this, she couldn't stand seeing that look of misery on his face.
He started to bang on the door…
"Kimi, let me in, please open the door"
"T-T-Theo I can't," as she screamed again falling to the floor, unable to move as she writhed in pain, blood ran down from her mouth it truly felt like she was dying.
All Theo could do was listen to her screams, which cut through him like razor blades, he hated the sound, he couldn't bear just standing there helpless, so he decide there was other way round it.
He stepped back, lifted a leg and kicked the door with just enough power to snap it into, sending splinters of wood flying across the bathroom.
Walking over to her, he fell to his knees at the sight of her, she was sprawled on the floor, tears running down her face and blood from her mouth, she twitched slightly as she writhed in pain.
A whisper was all she could manage "please Theo…." She raised her hand and stroked his face before letting it drop as her vision blurred, "don't look sad… it pains me to see you … sad."
He picked her up, bridal style and clutched her close to him as he carried her back to the bedroom carefully laying her down, before climbing into bed himself, taking of his hat and pulling her close to him and resting his head lightly on her chest.
