Always talking
Never seen
Creeping in the shadows
Knowing just what you need
I've been here
All your life
No use in hiding
Because I bite
So be aware of the moonlight
As I waited in the dark
For the enviable shattering of
Your heart
No matter
How you deny
You cannot hide
From the monster seeking you out
Grinning with pride
Especially when he's on
The inside
Have abide my time
So now I can shine
Hidden no longer
In the recesses of your mind
As I reek havoc
You cannot struggle
You cannot win
So give in
Because I am the beast
The victor
And I can't wait
To begin

I'm so glad those oaf doctors couldn't hold me, no eye witness. No hard facts, so they have to believe me when I say it was an ' accident'. I highly doubt the bought that, but what can the do. NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING. I feel so sly, having gotten away, practically with murder.

' Do you desire to kill?'

Shouta thinks back to the physicians obscured idea. Remembering the outrageous suggestion, knowing it would never happen.

" Sir, unfortunately we can not hold you any longer. Technically, you have been here for a 24 hour watch, but I highly recommend that you stay for an evaluation."

' We don't need, or desire such concern'

He all most sounded like he cared, but I don't. I refuse to stay in that hell hole any longer. It was just a one time deal, a little slip up. Nothing to worry about, an accident, that's all it was.

' Are you so sure thats all it was?'

I still look ghostly white, still dizzy, and faint, but being confined was more than I could take. I just felt so trapped, no longer only my mind, but body as well.

' We did not confine you, only enlighten. We only wish for you to be free, happy, content.'

Thanks to my little slip, I get a weeks vacation. My fuzzy bear still has to work, but I DON'T. I will be able to see him so much more, and that's all I WANT, all i NEED. To be held by him, breath in his scent, and never let go. Well, that and a tumble in the sheets, hopefully soon. Hopefully VERY soon, yeah soon would be nice.

' You do not NEED, you DESIRE, we fulfill.'

I have forgotten to mention a certain new 'friend'. He's always here, but never around. Always talking, but never to be found. Gets on my nerves, hopefully if I just ignore it, it will go away.

' We have no intention of leaving, having FINALLY been LIBERATED. It will remain that way.'

' What ever, just shut up, and stay out of my way'

' As you wish, for now.'

Just can't seem to find good help these days. I mean really, what good are you if you can't carry my bags, or cook, even better do I'm work for me. No help at all, that what.

Finally I'm home, but crap, the elevator is still broken.

' Be so kind to carry me, didn't think so'

I'm so depleted, I can't believe that the elevator isn't working by now, its been over a week. Oh well, I do need the exercise, I just wish I could choose when I needed it. FINALLY, I'm half way there, I don't remember it taking this long before. Then again before I was only physically empty, now my emotions seemed jumbled, tangled in a web of confusion. I can't decipher between them all, some positive, more negative.

' Stop with the whining, it's not interesting. Your over drawn out soliloquy is far passed getting on my nerves.'

'EXCUSS me for having problems'

'Watch the sarcasm! By the way it wasn't my idea to be stuck with you either. Your a pain in my ass.'

'Don't you mean, my ass. Your not a ray of sunshine either. I was here first, you leave.'

' I can only leave if you do, you failed. Therefor I can not leave.'

'Yes, well that won't work, and WE failed. It is no longer an option, there's Kou.'

'We may have failed, but YOU fought to survive. Otherwise we would be gone, unfortunately your more stubborn then anticipated.'

'I know how you feel about him, there's not use in denying, no point in lying. Especially since I know what your thinking.'

'True, we fail to see the connection. Identical genders stifle reasoning, reproduction is all that is required, nothing more. We are indeed disgusted with your choices, but we are not in control. Are opinions are of no concern.'

'Whatever you just said, as long as you know I'm boss'

'For now. You are indeed amusing'

'You need to learn to lighten up, I mean really. Your so stuffy, how your apart of me i'll never know.'

'I am that which you refuse to confront within.'

'You really need to learn to be less vague, it confusing. I may know what your thinking, but it's far to complex to understand, try working on that.'

'...'

'Out of something to say? Wow that a first, took long enough. It's exhausting having to explain everything I do, to MYSELF.'

AHHH, no more stairs, THANK GOD. Between them and you, I'm ready to nearly fall over. CRAP I can't, need to wait for my angel to get here. He doesn't trust me to be home alone, if only he new i wasn't . OHHH, he has a key, he can let himself in.

'Your extremely slow.'

'Hey that's mean, I can only walk so fast. By the way, if I am then you are too.'

'...'

' Haha! Who is slow NOW? Thought so!'

' Still you. I wasn't referring to your speed, but intelligence.'

' OH...'

Coat meet floor, bag here's couch, get acquainted. You won't be needed for some time, so wonderful... FREE TIME. More like SLEEP TIME, here come another coma, hurry up. I'm inviting you for an unlimited amount of time offer, with no expiration, so hurry before we don't run out.

'' Forgetting something?'

'No.'

'Are you so sure?'

'Yesssss. Geeez, your so irritating.'

'Bath room.'

'Fine, I'll go look. Just know I don't follow orders, I'm only checking because I feel like it.'

'If you say so.'

Kisa walks though the hallway, opening a door. Crossing the threshold, realizing what he was forgetting. What his new ' friend' meant.

'Ah, is this what you mean?'

'No, I mean some other porcelain tub that is stained with your blood. Of course that's what I mean. Aren't you going to clean it, or make it worse. Either works for me.'

'Rii-ight, wellll, I'm not in the mood for that. I much rather prefer to sleep, now. So I'm going to do that instead.'

He creeps out the entrance, making his way to his bedroom. Laying, settling down, getting comfy under the covers. As he enters peaceful serenity, until he hears a loud commotion. Silently getting up to inspect the mysterious noise. Jumping a shadowy silhouette in the darkness. The figure in his arms flips the lights revealing his lover.

" Did you get off early? Wasn't expecting you for another three hours." Kisa asks looking worn out, large bags under his eyes. Ruining his youthful looks, making him look his age.

Glaring at him, he responds " No, usual time. Are you alright, you don't look so good." Inquiring, concerned, and worried about his ill appearing darling in front of him.

" No, that can't be right. I- I just went to bed." His features covered with confusion.

'Are you so sure, check the time.'

Kisa slowly turns, checking his digital clock. Murmuring to himself quietly " that's not possible, I just laid down. I'm so sure, I know someone is playing a trick on me. This can't be poss- iable." His voice trailing off, mystified by the inaccurate time. Feeling faint, he falls forward. Yukina catching him in his arms, rescuing him from a visit to the cold, hardwood floor.

" Kisa...KISA, what's wrong." Losing his cool, loudly crying out to his beloved. Desperate to learn the problem, longing to cure it.

" J- just so t- tired." Lowly stuttering, as he goes limp, becoming unconscious in his partners embrace.
