I'm Still Here



*****



Dranzer sat thinking on the bed next to Kai's sleeping form, stroking the others hair. Why was life so messed up for his counter part? Were the gods so mean that they would torture a innocent person for their own amusement? As Dranzer mused, silent tears made their way down Dranzer's face, but he was too busy thinking to notice.

Dranzer blinked out of his trace as he felt something wet fall onto his hand. Looking at the silverfish tear he brought his hand unsteadily towards his cheek and touched the wet rivulets that they had caused.

"I can cry? I haven't ever before..." Dranzer quietly said to himself, slight confusion on his face.

As Dranzer begins to muse again, Kai takes that moment to open one eye.

'I wonder if Dranzer knows he's muttering to himself? Although I can't place the language must be some kind of phoenix language, it's nice though.' Kai thought to himself listening to Dranzer talk to himself.

Although when Dranzer stopped and moved his hand away from Kai's hair, Kai felt some of Dranzer's emotions. Worry started to well up in his stomach as he opened one eye and noticed the silent tears still making their way down Dranzer's face.

Not quite show what to do but knowing he has to do something, Kai moves and rolls over slightly, so his head is in Dranzer's lap, and wrapped his arms around his others waist.

Dranzer looks down startled, and was about to say something when he was cut off by a slightly muffled voice.

"You looked like you need a hug, it was the least I could do" Kai said as he felt Dranzer's arms encircle around him. But couldn't help but wince as he pulled himself into Dranzer's lap pulling the human fire phoenix in a more proper hug, the movement aggravating his injuries.

Dranzer sighed mentally and tilted Kai's head back lightly so that they were looking into each other's eyes. "Phoenix's have healing properties. I can heal you, if you want me to, Kai. I don't want you to be in pain anymore, it painful to me to have to watch and do nothing. But you have to trust me Kai.."

Kai looked into Dranzer's eyes strongly, wide awake and searching, seeming to find what he was looking for he nodded slightly. Then leaned in close to Dranzer's ear and whispers softly, "I've always trusted you, more then I even trust myself."

Kai's eyes met Dranzer's confirming everything they felt.

Dranzer gently leaned in, brushing his lips against Kai's, before kissing them with light pressure. Kai responded to the warmth of his counter part. Dranzer nibbled lightly at Kai's bottom lip, licking it a bit to get Kai to open his mouth slightly.

As Dranzer engaged him in a passionate kiss, Kai could feel Dranzer's warmth spreading over his various injuries and soothing away the pain from them.

Kai relax slightly in Dranzer's embrace, when all of a sudden the door to his room opened with a bang. They both jump and looked over towards it.

Kai paled.

There in the doorway stood the monster that had escaped from the house and police. And it had a gun trained on them.

"Now what do we have hear?" It mused in an almost sadistic voice.

/I am a question to the world,

Not an answer to be heard.

All a moment that's held in your arms.

And what do you think you'd ever say?

I don't listen anyway.

You ignore me,

And I'll never be what you want me to be.

And what do you think you'd understand?

I'm a boy, not a man.

You can take me and throw me away.

And how can you learn what's never shown?

Yeah, you stand here all alone.

They don't know me 'cause I'm not here.

And I want a moment to be real,

Wanna touch things I don't feel,

Wanna hold on and feel I belong.

And how can the world want me to change,

They're the ones that stay the same.

The don't know me,

'Cause I'm not here.

And you see the things they never see

All you wanted, I could be

Now you know me, and I'm not afraid

And I wanna tell you who I am

Can you help me be a man?

They can break me

As long as I know who I am

And I want a moment to be real,

Wanna touch things I don't feel,

Wanna hold on and feel I belong.

And how can the world want me to change,

They're the ones that stay the same.

They can't see me,

But I'm still here.

They can't tell me who to be,

'Cause I'm not what they see.

And the world is still sleepin',

While I keep on dreamin' for me.

And they'll want to just whispers,

And lies that I'll never believe.

And I want a moment to be real,

Wanna touch things I don't feel,

Wanna hold on and feel I belong.

And how can the world want me to change,

They're the ones that stay the same.

I'm the one now,

'Cause I'm still here.

I'm the one,

'Cause I'm still here.

I'm still here.

I'm still here.

I'm still here./
