Chapter Five
I burst in the door, today's event making my inside turn. Elemental magic flickered across my hand. Dark hugged me, our relationship had been repaired (Thank God) and he was going to stay in Al's room.
"Feel free to stay here whenever you need to." She had told him. I sighed as I faced him.
"Shinji..." He murmured, running his hand softly in my hair, tears lightly hitting my shoulder. I hugged him back and tilted my head up. He kissed me softly. I felt as if I was wrapped in a bubble that couldn't pop. Claustrophobic, but safe. Something that reassured me. My bubble, with Dark. I loved him so deeply.
"Krad should be healed soon. We should head back there to pick him up." He murmured. I nodded.
"We should leave in a week." I told him in a whisper. He dipped his head in agreement and walked to his room to work on homework. I sighed as I went to do my own.
Chrona stood defiant on a lightpost, scythe in hand.
"Saturn, we should follow them." She turned to a figure stading on the next. The shadow dipped their head.
"They're trying to defeat us, the lowly souls. All they are. Soul and mind, no proper body." The second growled, swishing of a blade could be heard.
"Don't show yourself yet."
"Verity. Shinji. Truth." Saturn sighed loudly. Chrona looked at them.
"So?"
"She's it. She's the other for you. And she's troublesome. She has fire magic, regular magic and skills that haven't developed yet. " Saturn listed the ablities one of the 'destined' girls. Chrona sighed.
"I guess. I'm just a case with a soul shoved in!" Chrona rolled her hazel eyes. She jumped off and headed for their shelter.
I sighed as I finished my Science homework. Being somewhat of an alchemist, science homework was more of a chore. I heard the door open and felt hands rubbing my back with a firm touch over the area where my wings would be.
"Ahhhhh." I exhaled happily.
"'Would you like some Bebsi with you bizza?'" I heard a voice laugh.
"'Brobably!'" I laughed.
"Ahhhhh. Throne of Fire was a good book."
"Yep. Easy read." I turned and smiled at my lover.
Dark smirked at me, a rare one that always made my insides melt. He leaned over and kissed me, as if he was going to die and I wasn't going to have much more time with him. The kiss was slow and passionate, moments melting away, slipping through my fingers, mental images slipping through my mind. Dark being injured beyond help, me loosing my right arm to Truth, me doing the forbidden art of Human Transmutation to resurrect Dark, him returning to life after I gave my Linker Core for sacrifice and me using magic, a look of pain as I was recovering a small fraction of it. The picture of Dark being injured... He was protecting me... Me! I cried as he kissed me.
"Shinji... Why is the rain coming now?" He asked.
"You're going to die!" I sobbed. He froze.
"What?"
"I don't know how, but eventually!" I gripped his shirt.
"Shinji... Oh, God!" He looked like the world was being pulled from under his feet. "I want to live my existence with you! I don't want to die!" I saw a single tear roll down his cheek. I hugged him tightly as I kissed him. He wound his hands into my hair.
Promise me you'll try to resurrect me. He told me through the tightly knit mental link we had.
Yes. I whispered my reply back. I bit his lower lip. He sobbed against my lips.
Thanks. Came his lonely reply.
A\N Wow, the last bit was fueled by Princess Serenity's Theme from the first season of Sailor Moon. That Shojo never gets old. I love it. Japanese. Not English!
