AngelDragonStar Chibi: Okay, we own almost nothing in this fan fiction. Sophia, Angelica, Umbra, and Lunas are it. I'm having no luck finding artists. We have one reviewer! PLEASE HELP US!

Thank you so much, Whats-the-author's-name. I can't remember your name, but I'm recommending your fan fic for your kindness! The fan fic is rated-R, with slash and bestiality. It is called Limited Edition HarryCat. The first chapter is hilarious!

Umbra: Slash? Yum!

Lunas: *nodding in agreement * Now for the show!

Iron Heart Beating

Badum.

I feel.

Badum.

I was kissed, right?

Badum.

Who gave the spark of life to my cold heart?

Badum.

I remember being punched by the Black Phoenix. I felt a wave of exhaustion, because she was an empath, but no empath has made me feel that weak.

Badum.

I must have fainted and landed on her.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Badum.

"Owie…" Draco groaned, his eyes shut.

Sophia giggled. "I guess not. I'll get some ice." Sophia stood up.

"Just- stay. Please." Draco whispered just enough for Sophia to hear.

Badum.

Draco heard Sophia sit back down. "Sorry for her. We're the same person, but…" Her voice softened. "It's been like this since I lost Chris."

"Your boyfriend."

Badum.

"Yeah. We're aware of the other, but we don't know what the other does." Sophia said, changing her position. "But, we can figure out what from where we are. I found you on the floor, unconscious. She hit you, and you kissed her-"

Badum.

"No." Draco shook his head and opened his gray eyes, staring at the ceiling. "I was hit, yes, but, if I'm hit by an empath, I feel tired. You are strong enough to make me faint. I did as such, and I think I fell on you, lips touching."

Badum.

Sophia's face came in view. "Oh." Draco stilled a cry as he looked her face. He hadn't taken a good look at her face, but now! Her eyes were chocolate brown, touched gently with gold and hazel at parts. Her hair was too short to fall on his face but he could tell it was softer than silk to the touch.

Badum.

"So what is your real name, buddy?"

Her voice was a lullaby to Draco, soft and sweet.

"Draco." He answered softly, letting his eyes drift shut. What in the hell is happening to me?

Badum.

I never felt this before. I feel like keeping her safe from everything, from the evils of the world. She hasn't been fully killed by the world; she still has a measure of innocence.

Draco's eyes flew open as a ice pack was placed on his midriff. "Jesus, that's cold!" he cried out.

Sophia rolled her eyes (brown is so common, so why are her so unique?) as she adjusted the pack.

Badum.

Is she an angel?

Sophia began to sing in a clear high voice.

"Pawafuru mirakuru ima kuru

Hajikeru majikaru wandafuru

Ririkaru komikaru koi suru torokeru

Badum.

Mi-ra-ku-ru-mi"

"What is that song?" Draco asked when Sophia took a breath.

"It's the theme song to Steel Angel Kurumi. The name is 'A miracle that starts with a kiss.'" Sophia grinned. "I like the anime a lot. The picture of me with pink hair is me dressed as Kurumi. Angelica was Saki." She started to sing again.

Badum.

"Kiss kara hajimaru miracle datte aru yo ne

Ame demo hare demo anata ga iru kara

Itsumo zunzun ikeru yo

Tsubasa no haeteru tenshi ni natte tondara

Ginga no kanata no kirameku chaperu de

Badum.

Wedding bell narasu no

Shinpai shinai ki ni shinai naku no wa ureshii toki dayo

Mamotte ageru watashi no mune de kyuinn tte dakishimete ageru

Pawafuru mirakuru ima kuru

Hajikeru majikaru wandafuru

Badum.

Ririkaru komikaru koi suru torokeru

Mi-ra-ku-ru-mi

Mi-ra-ku-ru-mi."

Draco sighed softly. "That…was…amazing."

Sophia smiled. "I like to sing a lot. I can't sing in English worth crap. But, I can sing in anything else."

Badum.

What is with that sound? Badum is a sound of something. Of what? It's a new sound, one that I never hear before.

Draco's hand touched his chest.

It was his heart.

The ritual stopped my heart. Am I alive?!

Sophia looked at Draco. "What's wrong? You're in shock."

Draco sat up, gasping for craved air.

"I didn't need-" he took another gasp of air, "air or food before." He took another shuddering breath. "I was dead in all means but the facts that my brain was active and my body was walking."

Sophia gasped. "Htapme."

Draco nodded.

Sophia's voice filled Draco's ears. "How?"

Badum.

"I was raped. I woke up feeling nothing. I didn't care. I needed nothing. Voldemort paid me. I didn't need any money, but it kept me from becoming a Death Eater." Draco answered, fear filling his voice. What if she refused him?

Sophia's laughter stung his ears.

"You couldn't have been a Death Eater anyways. The Dark Mark is an anchor. The spell would had failed if you had any connections." Sophia said.

Draco sobbed.

Draco felt Sophia's hands on his shoulders. "Why are you crying?"

"I don't- *sob * know!"

Sophia adjusted Draco, setting his head on her lap, and said, "I'm sorry for laughing like that. I know about that ritual. I read once that if a Pale Squire, that's another name for a htapme, gains a connection, they become stronger, or well, upgrade. I bet you just upgraded."

Badum.

"And you're my connection." Draco said, looking at her.

Sophia nodded. "It would seem so." Her eyes shifted into gold.

"Shit!" Draco scrambled away from the Black Phoenix. "You know, you really are annoying!"

The Black Phoenix didn't sneer or attack him. She instead pushed a button on a small black box.

"Hey, are you okay?" Sophia's voice rang out.

"Owie…"

The Black Phoenix listened and nodded. "Ah. She only studied that ritual a little, since most squires never find the right connection. I thought it would be a good weapon, so I looked it up some more."

Draco nodded. "Please continue."

The Black Phoenix smiled warmly. "You have manners, that's good." She looked exactly like Sophia when she smiled like that. "No htapme has reached Iron Knight because they have been killed. However, it would seem you upgraded, and we're your connection. Empaths will have a problem killing you because killing you will injure me enough that it could be fatal, and they know it."

Badum.

"I guess we're partners, White Death."

Draco sighed. "Please call me Draco." Then, it sunk in.

"WHAT?!"

To be continued…

Author's Note: hehehehe… I want more reviews before I place any more up. Two more, okay?
