A/N: Hey everyone! I'm back with another chapter! I hope the last one was alright! I got a couple of reviews telling me to update! So, here I am!! I hope everyone likes it!
Rain: YOU'D BETTER KEEP RAENEF ALIVE!!
Me: Ummm, Rain, you wanted him dead.
Rain: Yeah, but not REALY!
Me: Oh, Rain just read the chapter!!
P.S. - This chappie is dedicated to Trickster Kitsune, who has been a faithful review since chapter one (THANK YOU!!) and who I am writing this for, so she doesn't get one of her muse's after me with an axe! **shudder**
When we last left them...
"NO!"
Raenef slammed his small body into Eclipse's, making him move a few inches away. The sword plunged down....
Right into Raenef's chest.
++++
Shadowed Tears
Chapter Four: Raenef
Raenef gasped, his voice choked with pain. Blood spurted out as the man yanked the sword out of him, and soaked his robes. He could hear Eclipse's sharp "Raenef..."
The man chuckled, quickly getting over his shock.
"Now why did you do that, boy?" He whispered, "You will both die, still. No one can save you."
He walked over to Eclipse, poising the sword in his hand. Eclipse raised his hands, and whispered words that neither could hear. Suddenly, a loud BANG echoed around the room.
The man smirked. "You missed." He whispered, getting ready to strike once more.
"No..." Raenef murmured, trying vainly to drag himself over to Eclipse.
"Your concern touches me." The man snarled, as he kicked Raenef out of the way.
Raenef grabbed his stomach as pain shot through his body. But he must ignore it. He must....save....Eclipse.
He pointed his hands towards the man. Neither he nor Eclipse noticed. He focused all of his energy on this one spell. Then, concentrating hard on the man, he yelled, "Dark Shooter!"
The spell hit the man in the chest, and sent him flying. He banged against the wall, and slid down it, smearing blood as he did so.
Both the man and Eclipse looked at Raenef in awe. Dark Shooter, they both knew, was the most complicated spell there was to know. It was indeed a Dark spell. If it hit its target, they would be killed instantly, whether upon impact or slowly after. There was no escaping death once this spell hit you.
And Eclipse had not yet taught it to Raenef.
"How..." the man whispered as the light faded from his cold blue eyes, "you're....only a....boy...."
And then the light was gone.
Eclipse struggled to get to Raenef, who was now lying sprawled on the ground, blood pouring freely out of his wound.
"E-Eclipse...." Raenef whispered, stretching out his hand towards him. Eclipse reached for it as he pulled his wounded body across the floor. He grabbed it tightly, still struggling to move.
Raenef's mouth moved silently, saying Eclipse's name over and over, without words coming out.
And this was how Eurtis and Chris found them.
They burst through the window riding the same creature that Raenef had been kidnapped on. And it was, indeed, a dragon.
Glass shattered the floor, a piece lodging into Raenef's leg, but the two on the dragon failed to notice. Eurtis gave a whoop of laughter.
"Eclipse, would you check this out, we found it-" And then she spotted the two on the ground.
++++
The four rode home. Eurtis and Chris sat in silence. Raenef was draped across Eclipse, his hands rapped around the larger Demon's waist.
They had managed to stop the bleeding with Eclipse's robe, but he had lost a lot of blood. They had to get him to the Castle.
A small droplet landed on Eclipse's cheek, and he looked up to see if it was raining. But no...
It was only his tears.
The sun was going down when they left the Castle of Shadows for the second time, and by the time they reached the Castle with no name, it was night.
There were no stars in the sky that night. The sky was still filled with rolling clouds, dark as night.
Eclipse was the first one off the dragon. He leapt down while they were still two feet off the ground, with Raenef in his arms. He rushed him to his bed chamber and laid him down in the crimson sheets.
Chris and Eurtis came in a few minutes later, to find Eclipse, his eyes shut, a look of pure concentration on his face, standing over Raenef with his hands outstretched. A moment later, the concentration broke, and Eclipse's eyes opened.
"Eclipse?" Eurtis murmured.
Eclipse turned to face them, his eyes focused on them, but not really seeing that they were there.
"I don't know." He answered, before they could even ask. "I tried my best to heal him, but...I am not a healer, and....things can always go wrong...."
Eurtis walked over to him, and placed a hand on his shoulder. "He'll be fine, Eclipse. Now, come, you're bleeding...we need to get you cleaned up..."
++++
Eclipse did not leave Raenef's bedroom for days. He stood there, watching the small boy as he breathed, shallowly.
Eurtis came in one night, to find Eclipse sitting in a chair by Raenef's bed, his head in his hands. For a moment she thought he was asleep, but when she walked closer to him, she saw that his shoulders were shaking.
"Eclipse...?"
The Demon looked up, slightly started. Eurtis was shocked by the pain in his eyes.
His cheeks were streaked with tears. His normally sleek hair was tangled, loose from his ponytail, hanging around his face. His eyes....they were so full of pain. Of fear. It was then that Eurtis realized what had been in Eclipse's eyes the night they saved Eclipse. It was fear. He was so scared....scared that they would be too late, that they would not save him in time.
And he was still scared.
Eurtis gave a nervous laugh. "I thought Demons didn't cry." She whispered.
He looked at him, another tear falling down his cheek. "Just because he don't," He murmured, the pain in his voice worse than in his eyes, "Does not mean, we can't."
She gave another small smile, and placed her hand on his shoulder. "You really love him, don't you?"
Eclipse's head snapped up, his eyes now filled with confusion. "How did..."
"Come on, Eclipse," she said, a teasing smile playing on her lips, despite the circumstances. "You never cry. You've seen so many battles, so much death....you've never cried. Now, what makes this time different than any other?" Eclipse looked at the floor, slightly defeated. "You love him."
Another broken tear rolled down Eclipse's face. As Eurtis turned to go.
"Eclipse," she whispered, turning around suddenly, "It's not your fault."
"Yes it is...." He murmured.
But it was too soft for her to hear.
++++
Rain poured on the ground outside, drummed loudly against the windowpanes. Lightning sounded close to the castle, rattling the windows, the doors. Chris and Eurtis were gathered in the kitchen, murmuring to each other softly.
Eclipse stayed in Raenef's bedroom.
It had been two weeks, and the boy had not yet woken up. Eclipse knew he could not survive must longer like this.
"Wake up Raenef..."
++++
Another week passed. Raenef's breathing became shallower and slower.
++++
Eclipse sat by Raenef's bed, his hand intertwined with Raenef's.
"Wake up." He said, aware that his voice was pleading. "God, Raenef, please wake up."
He didn't move. Eclipse hadn't really expected him to. Another tear slipped down his cheek. Why wouldn't he wake up? How long could he survive like this?
Not long, Eclipse knew.
Eclipse sobbed silently to himself.
"Wake up, wake up, wake up...."
Then he felt a gentle squeeze.
His hand was still in Raenef's.
++++
