Gokudera's eye's narrow at the strange young man standing in front of him
"What do you mean your sister?" His eyes widen slightly when he notices the boys blond hair and green eyes. "Wait…you can't be…" Gokudera's sentence trails off into his thoughts. "Nicky?" Gokudera shakes his head. "No. that's just stupid. Nicky's dead." He all but glares at the blond boy. "Who are you?"
The young man blinks.
"She hasn't told you?" His eyebrows furrow. "I mean, I knew she doesn't like to think about it but I would like the think she would tell her boyfriend about her little brother."
The blond rubs the back of his neck and Gokudera's eyes fully widen.
"But you can't be him! Don't lie damn it!" Gokudera feels a bit angry even though a part of him believes the boy. "Nicky…he's dead! You can't be him!" The teen growls. "Don't speak as if you know her when you don't even know that basic fact!"
The boy growls.
"Don't call me Nicky. Only Aydan can call me that." Nicky walks forward and places a hand on Phoenix's forehead. "Tá brón orm Aydan. Tá mé chomh brón orm nach raibh mé in ann a fháil anseo níos tapúla."
The realization finally hit's Gokudera as Nicky speaks to his sisters' body.
"Merda…it really is you…W-What are you doing?"
"Apologizing…I was supposed to save her. That's why the elders brought me back." A tear rolls down Nicky's face. "I was too late…"
"Brought you back?" Gokudera looks at the boy intently. He looked to be around fourteen, which was the age Nicky would be if he hadn't died. Something or someone brought Nicky back to life and made him be the correct age. "What do you mean?"
"I was dead and now I'm not. What else do you need to know?" The younger Lynch looks at his sister. "I have an idea...it might not work but...I might be able to bring her back...But it could just hurt her more..."
Gokudera shouts out without any hesitation.
"Whatever it takes, please! Please…please bring her back!" Gokudera bows. "I'll do whatever you want...just…please…."
A few more tears escape from Gokudera's clear green eyes and Nicky nods.
"Lay her down flat.
Gokudera nods and kneels down slowly, gently laying Phoenix on her back.
"Like this?"
"Yeah." His jaw clenches and Nicky holds out a knife to Gokudera. "I need the blood of the person who loves her more than any other...and it needs to enter her blood stream."
Gokudera quickly holds out his wrists.
"Anything you need. Take it. All of it if necessary."
A determined look appears in Gokudera's eyes and Nicky smiles slightly.
"And have Aydan kill me?" Nicky's frown returns as he pulls the blade across Gokudera's scarred wrist and lets the blood drip into one of Phoenix's open wounds before repeating the process on his own wrist. "You may wanna step back."
Gokudera nods and kisses Phoenix on the cheek before letting go of her hand and inching back slightly. Nicky takes a deep breath ant mutters.
"Uisce." Water flows from his hands and covers Phoenix's body. "Fire is good at healing bruises and sore spots but for the big stuff water is the best thing for it."
The thin layer of water begins to glow slightly and through it Phoenix's wounds can be seen closing. Gokudera's eyes widen as he bites his lips anxiously.
"Come on, come on, come on…."
He feels is heartbeat speed up and has to resist grasping one of Phoenix's hands. Slowly Phoenix's chest beings to move up and down as the water flows back into Nicky. The blond-teen sits back and sighs.
"There, the easy part's over."
He looks tired but Gokudera doesn't notice and just brings Phoenix's hand to his lips, kissing it and holding it to his cheek.
"Dio mio…" Tears of joy fill his eyes as the silver-haired teen looks at Nicky. "Grazie, Niccola. Thank you so much."
Gokudera leans over and kisses Phoenix's forehead while Nicky frowns.
"It's Nicholas or Nick. And don't thank me yet, I just brought her body back. Her souls not there yet."
Gokudera's happy expression falls from his face.
"What do you mean her soul isn't there? She's alive, isn't she?"
"Alive yes, but she's a vegetable without her soul" Nicky stands and takes a few steps away before calling out. "Is gá dom tú, leanbh is sine de na lasracha."
A tower of fire blossoms from the floor and a tall, pale, red-haired man steps from is, his emerald green eyes scanning the four young people before focusing on Nicky.
"Shouldn't you be calling on my brother?"
