16 - Drabble- Day 3 (Solo Remix)
xxxxx
Heartbeat
Shiki had been careless.
The noise had come too close, and was ready to pounce on her – to erase her.
She shut her eyes, waiting for the impact when she felt herself jerk back. She gasped as she saw Neku blasting the Noise with one hand, holding her to him with another. She instinctively grabbed the front of his shirt for support.
Being this close, she could feel his heartbeat - fast and strong.
She always wondered why her heart was still beating even though she was dead.
Still, it was comforting to know that even he had a heart.
A/N: Tadaa. This has to be in Solo Remix-universe so that Shiki and Neku can actually see each other during battle. The fanfic came out of the idea that Shiki must be even a little shaken after Neku tried to kill her (I like to think that her acting all 'it's okay :D' was partly due to her facade). Neku has to redeem himself bit by bit here after all. Hope you enjoyed. Thanks for reading~
