Sykla:(sigh) Shik would also like to request that everyone reveiw, because let's face it people, she wants to know if it's good.

Shik:(hug) Thanks Sykla!

Chaper 2: Of Being Lonely

---------------------------------------

Sykla did not respond as the red head bandaged her and shifted her around. She only stared blankly into the fog of her vision. Death turned it's back on her as her soul reached out to it...that was when her tears finally came. It was the pain of finally being all alone...death had finally left her too. Her hand twitched at the sound of her name but that was all she could seem to do. Her mind was failing to recoil to pain, she was now plunged into her memories.

-----------------------------------------

She watched the strange beautiful boy awaken from his healing slumber. He looked around and when he saw her his honey eyes painiced. "Where am I?" He asked shifting his weight only to find the pain overwelming. He grimaced but looked back at her in fear.

She smiled, "I found you on my door step all bloody and torn. I am one of the known medics around here so you must have gotten lucky. You have been healing in my bed for...three or four days...I think."

He groaned falling back into the sheets. He had his hands over his face and after composing what looked like grief, he shifted his honey colored gaze to her again. "Why? Why did you still help me after knowing I was a monster?" He asked, it was obvious that he had read her mind and knew what she knew.

She shrugged looking at the door for a few minutes, but when she turned back he had limped over to her side. His honey gaze was on her neck, as his hand traced the bite marks there. She had been bitten by a demon as a small girl but was saved by a demon slayer who had been walking by. She had forgotten that the bite was still there. His eyes moved onto hers, "Why? Why did you help me?"

Sykla blushed as she looked away quickly, "You remind me of someone. The man who saved me had honey eyes as well."

"I see." He said quietly, "But now you're all alone again, barely seventeen. Helping what hurt you in the first place. What's your name?"

She looked back at him and smiled, "Sykla, Sykla Kirrio. What's your's?"

"Roto." He tilted his head and looked as if she was asking him to confess a murder.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Yusuke had watched Kurama work on the demoness. She wasn't responding to anything he did only once did she speak, saying, 'I love you Roto'. Hiei was on the other side of the room, back to his normal antisocial self but looked at her when she said something. Kuwabara was helping Kurama roll the demoness enough to bandage her. What she must be thinking, trying to kill herself here all alone.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Roto was on the edge of the bed putting on his shirt. Sykla smiled and sat on the other side of the bed, "I like that color, it looks good on you."

Roto sighed, sitting next to her, "This is wrong...we shouldn't be doing this."

She ran her fingers through his hair again, "But I love you, I wanted to know how much you love me. I love you like the moon loves the sky."

"But Sykla I'm a demon, what if something happened?" His honey eyes begging for her reason.

Sykla sighed, "You can leave. I'm not keeping you here. You can leave me all alone again too, but you are a demon and I'm not expecting too much."

"Hey, that was a low blow!" He growled, turning away.

She laid her head on his shoulder and kissed his neck softly, "But I don't want you to leave. I love you too much."

Roto got up and went to the door, "It's not love, it's lust. You'll get over it as everyone does." And then he left.

"Dickhead" She mumbled.

"I heard that!" Roto called from downstairs.

--------------------------------------

She finally blacked out as Kurama finished patching her up. Yusuke then threw her over his shoulder and they reported back to the Underworld. And placed her into the hospitial there. Kurama was rather quiet on the matter as they waited for any word that they could go.

"I'm going to go check on her. Hiei will you come with me?" The kitsune asked. He started walking, knowing that Hiei would follow. They entered the hopitial wing and walked quietly to her room.

---------------------------------------------------

She soon awoke to bright lights and a sore body. Death had left her behind again, and how life liked to punish her. She shifted, only to writhe in pain. A cold, dead hand touched her and the pain subsided. She looked to see the soul of her dead prince.

"Hello my Sky." He mused. His black hair shined tumbling into his face as he chuckled at her expression. The light gleam in his coffee brown eyes were the same as it had been before he died. What had changed was his skin tone, instead of a toffee color it was now a paper sheet white. He purred softly into her ear, letting his cat ears tickle her face. He was always so gentle to her...

"Dandlin..." She now began to cry and hold onto the spirit of her prince. She cried into chest and held him tighter to her.

He chuckled and purred into her ear again, "I know my Sky. I'll be here for you forever." He rubbed his head against the side of hers while gentle purring.

Then he suddenly stopped, "We have guests, my Sky." He turned his head and growled his deep brass growl.

---------------------------------------------------------

Kurama and Hiei both stopped as they heard the deep growl come from the spirit beside her bed. Kurama frowned, Koenma had told him that if she were to awaken, she would be hard to get to. He and the demon spirit starred at each other until that is Sykla grimaced in pain and made a small whining sound.

The spirit turned away to her quickly to releave her wounds with his cold hands. She looked at him and smiled weakly, "I'm sorry Dandlin. I have to cause trouble. I just didn't want to be his slave like you were."

Kurama noted how the spirit's ears drooped and he looked away from her. The spirit nodded to them and let them come over. Sykla's eyes widened, "I'm still his slave then?"

Dandlin looked pained as he nodded. She grabbed him again quickly like a small child would a teddy bear when they had heard of their worse fear coming true. She clung to him for dear live, laying her head on his shoulder. When she looked up there was Hiei solem and silent leaning against the wall.

This fire rising through my being

Dandlin was rather calm about being manhandled by her, she was after all an emotional wreak. And besides, he had been through this before...a lot. Her voice now cracked, "Dandlin?"

"Hmm?" He asked calmly.

"I'm stuck." She cracked a small laugh.

"You did this to me last time too, remember?" He mused.

She laughed, laying her head back on his shoulder. And soon he was gone from her grasp, appearing at the foot of the bed. He looked at the kitsune.

"What does he want now?" He frowned.

Kurama frowned, "We don't know yet, he said we needed Sykla for the mission."

"Oh great..." Sykla sighed, but hugged her stomach quickly after she had. Dandlin placed his hands on her stomach and let his cold do its work. She looked over at Hiei and their eyes met.

Burning I'm not used to seeing you

Dandlin helped her out of the bed and onto the floor. And to her misforte she fell and landed on Hiei who had started walking. Kurama and Dandlin both chuckled innocently as they saw the bewildered look on Sykla and Hiei's faces. Dandlin lifted her off of Hiei, still smiling as innocent as before. He pulled her arm around his shoulder and helped her support her weight.

Hiei took the other arm and they balance her weight as Kurama lead the way.

I'm alive, I'm alive

She dreaded the thought of meeting with Koenma.

Shik:(all eere looking) What will happen next?

Suzaku:(glare) As if you aren't almost done writing it now...

Sykla:(rolls eyes) Play nicely Suki.

Shik:(pouts) So, almost does not cut it. I must write for the sake of my sanity!

Suzaku:(sigh) Oh dear pampers no.

Shik:(smiles wickedly) Reveiw or else you may NEVER see this story again!

Sykla:(sigh) Empty threats won't work. You love writing it too much to stop...

Shik: True. Also I'd like to add a quote by one of my other Characters. But I don't think I can fit him in but I love his quote!

"In order to protect the one I love I must first injure the one I love." Osaka
