Chapter 2
Only Darkness
The others had left except Kurama, who told his parents he was sleeping over at Yusuke's house for the weekend. Yusuke's mother had treated her wounds and ordered the boys pizza. As they ate, they watched television in Yusuke's room and looked back occasionally if the girl woke up. 'Let me know if she wakes up,' his mom had said and had gone into the living room. Two hours had passed as Kurama sat on the bedside next to the girl. Yusuke had fallen asleep on his sleeping bag and was snoring loudly.
The girl's breathing was soft and uneasy, making Kurama nervous as he watched her constantly. She groaned a few times, probably of the pain Kurama had guessed. "She has such a lovely face," his whispered, reaching out to stroke her face. But the girl opened her eyes and had sat up, frightened of him. "Who.who are you?" she asked, tears falling down as she spoke. She turned away in fear as he got closer, but somehow calmed down as he put a gentle hand on her shoulder. "Ssshh, its okay I won't harm you," Kurama whispered softly and the girl relaxed, and almost collapsed when he caught her. "We just want to help you, that is all." Her fear returned, but she wasn't afraid as much any more. "Who are you and where am I?" she asked again, looking around frantically. He shushed her again and held her shoulders so she didn't fall. "My name is Kurama and that's Yusuke over there," he said, pointing to his snoring friend. She reached out and touched his face, as if to study him. 'She can see, can't see?' Kurama asked himself, confused by her unusual behavior. She seemed to read his thoughts and nodded sadly. "I am blind, have been all my life," she said softly, feeling more unshed tears come again. "I see only darkness and know only loneliness." He saw her pain and held her to him, careful of your wounds. "I'm terribly sorry," was all he could say, feeling stupid. She looked up at him and smiled. "That is the first time someone's ever truly meant that," she whispered happily, happiness rushing through her for the first time in her life. She tried to move more, but the pain wouldn't let her. He helped her down to the bed again, holding her hand. "Rest, I'll see you in the morning.," he trailed off, scolding himself for not asking her name. "Sapphire," she finished for him, her blushing making him smile even more. "A beautiful name indeed, goodnight Sapphire," he whispered, his heart rushing as she touched his cheek one last time, then she laid her head back on the pillow. "Goodnight, Kurama," she whispered and closed her eyes, returning to the darkness.
(4:15 Saturday morning)
Sapphire woke up suddenly, surprised by how late it was. She felt for Kurama's hand and found it on the edge of the bed. She reached down and realized he was asleep on the floor. She giggled as she played with a few locks of his red hair. But she released her wings, scooped him up and flew over to his sleeping bag. Gently, she zipped it open and laid him in. She put the cover around him, bent down and lightly kissed his cheek. He stirred, but went back to sleep. Pain was kicking in again in her side so she flew back over to the bed and fell back asleep.
