It's been almost two days since that encounter with Riku. Yasashiku was still unconscious and didn't look like he was going to wake up anytime soon. She stared at him as he slept. Watching his chest raise and fall with every calm breath he took. Suki couldn't help but blame herself for what happened. He took that hit for her and was badly hurt. Those deep cuts on his chest were really bad. She knew that he would survive but if it had hit her than she wouldn't be here right now.

'please be ok Yasashiku... I want you to be alright... This is all my fault. If I wasn't knocked out than he wouldn't have charged at me and you wouldn't have had to protect me... I'm so, so sorry.' Sadly thought Suki.

She stared at his chest as she saw the bandage that she used to tend to his wound. Than she stared at the bandage on his arm. She couldn't understand how he got that. But she knew that it hurts from when she was wrapping it Yasashiku hissed in pain. Than she could hear Yasashiku hissing in pain. She asked "Yasashiku are you waking up? Are you in pain? Do you need me to get some more herbs?"

Than he screamed in pain and was gripping his arm. Starting to reopen his wounds on his chest. Suki tried to hold him down as she said "you have to hold still! If you don't than you'll make your wounds worse! Please just calm down!" Yasashiku kept screaming in pain and Suki tried harder to keep him down and not to move so much. But he was stronger than her and it was hard to keep him down. But she was able to keep him down a bit.

Sadly his wounds have reopened and was only getting worse. Suki started to cry as she sadly said between sobs "please... please stop Yasashiku... You have to stop..." But he didn't or couldn't hear her over his screams. Than the next thing she knew Yasashiku placed his hand on her back just where the joint of her arm to her back was and dug his claws into her skin.

Suki winced in pain as she stared at him. His eyes were open but they were slightly blank. They flashed gold to red and over and over again. She was startled by this. His eyes kept flashing from gold to red a few more times until his eyes went back to gold and his claws were coming out of her back.

Than he fell on his back sound asleep. Suki placed her hand on her back where Yasashiku's claws were. She calmly thought 'what just happened? Why were his eyes flashing like that? Just what is going on? Was he in that much pain?'Than she started to re mend his wounds hoping that this wouldn't happen again.

After a few hours Suki leaned against a tree still holding her back where the wound was. She stared at the blue sky as she thought 'when will he wake up? I guess I really miss his attitude.'With that said Suki heard groaning. When she looked at the sleeping half demon. She thought that he was going to freak out again. So she ran to him saying "Yasashiku are you waking up?"

Than he opened his eyes and stared at Suki. He calmly said "how long have I been out for?" Suki calmly said "you've been sleeping for almost two days. I was worried about you." Yasashiku kept his gaze on Suki than s scent his hit nose. He quickly sat up and said with concern "Suki what happened!? Why are you bleeding? What happened while I was asleep?" Suki was shocked. He sounded concern for her... Why?

She looked away as she lied sadly "nothing... Nothing happened... I fell on something sharp and it hit my back." He wasn't buying it. Yasashiku yelled "that's a bunch of bull! Tell me who did th-" Before he could finish he smelt her blood coming from his claws. When he looked at his right hand his eyes grew with shock. He just stared at the blood on his claws as he said with worry "I... I attacked you didn't I?"

Suki looked at him as she calmly said "yes. You were screaming in pain and I tried to stop you cause your wounds were starting to reopen. But than you dug your claws in my back... But the thing that made me worry the most was when your eyes flashed red... Yasashiku just what is going on?" He looked away as he quietly said "nothing..."

Suki asked "what do you mean nothing! Your eyes changed from gold to red! Just what is going on!? Tell me!" Yasashiku still didn't look at her as he said "it was my inner demon alright! That happens once in a while! I attack people every now and then... That's why I stay away from people." Than he stood up and walked to where his robe was. Once he got to the tree he grabbed it from the branch and put it on.

Suki walked up to him saying "I'm not mad at you. It just happened right. So it wasn't your fault." He didn't turn to face her as he said "why not? Just what are you trying to do Suki? What do you want to prove?" Suki calmly said "I can't be mad at you when it wasn't your fault. I'm not trying to prove anything. But tell me something... What do you really plan to do with your life?"

He turned around as he said "I plan to kill Riku, Kill Naraku. Even if I die. I'm going to avenge my parents and nothing is going to stop me. That is my purpose in life." Suki calmly asked "why though? Revenge won't solve anything. It won't bring back your parents. It won't do anything for yourself. Why do you only seek revenge? Revenge never solves anything or helps your cause. Please just stop thinking about the past and think about your future."

Yasashiku growled as he said "I don't have a future! No one cares for me! No one could ever care about me! I don't care about my life at all! I don't give a damn about my life! So just drop it!" Suki stared at him with sad eyes as she said "why would you not care about your life? Don't you ever think about who you would be leaving behind? Don't you care at all? I'm your friend aren't I?" He stared at her as he said "I don't have any friends Suki. I don't see you as a friend at all. If anyone knew that I had a friend or anything like that they would use that against me. I may not feel anything but anger... But I can't bare to see anyone suffer. I just can't."

Suki calmly asked "why? Everyone deserves to have a friend. I don't have friends either. Please let me be your friend Yasashiku." He just stared at her wide eyed. About to refuse Suki calmly said "I don't care if I'm a target. I just want to be your friend. Nothing more. That's all I want from you. And that's to be your friend. Can't I be your friend please?"

Yasashiku stared at her as he calmly said "I'm sorry Suki. But I can't. I can't risk your life. I do not want to deal with your mother if she finds you dead. I don't want to deal with anything like that. So drop it." Than he started to walk away. Suki calmly thought 'you may not notice Yasashiku but I can see it in your eyes. You do want to be my friend. I just know it. You want to be my friend too. Just as much as I want to be yours... I know the ice around your heart is starting to melt... But... how?'
