foreverwingless | because whatever koz says goes

[ The most tender and loving. Then again, any person too tender and loving would have a difficult time getting Natsuno to ever listen what they told him, either way - the guy was much too stubborn, especially in trying to distance himself from people.

And then somehow this had happened. Really, he himself can't actually even really believe it yet. If it wasn't for the fact that he was lying naked under the sheets here he would probably even have denied it to himself. There wasn't even really any sense of being flustered at the thought, more just.. something he didn't think he would ever do, really. Oh well, there were worse things-- at least Megumi didn't crawl out from under the bed halfway through, that would have made things majorly awkward. Wouldn't have put it past her though, if she were still around.

He just complete ignores the forehead flick, except for a sound that very much sounds like a groan. In fact, he doesn't even bother with his clothes. All he does is tugging up the covers further, even over his head. ]

[Well.... that's just rude...

Such an action earns him an annoyed huff. She grabs the sheets and pulls them back, exposing him to the cold as well.]

This isn't debatable. I have to go to school soon and so do you. [....she assumed he had school- they hadn't done much talking....she pokes his side.]

Get up or else.

[ ... Okay, so first the warmth is gone-- even if he's a Shiki, he's not like the usual ones, so he still has actual body warmth so he definitely notices, especially with the lack of clothes, exposing his bare chest to the cold air. He makes a lazy sound again, moving his arm to cover his eyes for a moment, as if shielding them from the light. ]

Since when are dead people expected to go to school? [ YES HE FINALLY SPEAKS UP THOUGH.. even if he's not looking at her since he's still covering his eyes for a moment or two. ]

[She rolls her eyes.

She thought about just telling him to shut up and listen to her- but so far he hasn't been one to exactly do whatever she commands right away.... he should be more like Teshigawara, she preferred it when she was dealing with a lapdog.

...Okay maybe not.

Akazawa moves closer to him, she laid her head down on his chest, still able to look at his face.]

I still don't understand how you're supposed to be dead- you are really warm you know.

[ And there she goes again, with her talk of the dead too -- he just lets out a deep breath when she lies down on him. Seriously, this girl just kept talking about it and something in him was rubbed the wrong way by that. Even though he had been investigating something like that as well, it had cost him his life, and.. well, for him it was fine, he was someone without a real future either way, but other people shouldn't stupidly get in over their heads and lose their life. So this wasn't protecting at all, it was just.. sticking around to make sure she wouldn't do anything stupid. 8| Yes. Clearly. He lazily wraps an arm around her. ]

I could demonstrate, but don't expect it to be some kind of circus trick. I'm not going to repeat it for you whenever you feel like seeing it, so pay attention, at least.

[...What a tsundere he is.

She frowns a bit at that, wondering just what kind of tricks he could do. He kept claiming he was dead- but even so she didn't want to believe it... if he were dead then, wouldn't that mean he'd have to leave one day? Go to the afterlife or wherever the undead go. She sighs a bit when she feels that arm around her. She moves a bit closer to his face, propping herself up and she moved her hand up to his hair, moving his bangs out of his eyes.]

Hm- maybe you should enter the circus, I'm sure a zombie like you could draw in a lot of attention.

[ He's an inner tsundere, okay. Not as vocal as most of them..

But he lets her do that much, apparently he doesn't mind the physical contact as much now they've already gone this far either way - he definitely just keeps lying there, don't feel like getting up. ]

Too bad I'm not here for other people's attention.

[ It just sounds a little bit grumpy, but that's practically his default mode. He moves just slightly after that though, still lying there and holding her, but just repositioning himself. ]

Hold still. [ He ate recently, so it should be okay, he shouldn't be thirsty even in that way, but.. just to make sure. If she moves, it's only going to get more difficult to control it in case he is thirsty. He closes his eyes, and when he opens them again after a moment his eyes are completely black, with only a red circle in the middle of each eye as a pupil. Like this, pretty much. His mouth opens, showing much longer than normal canine teeth, and for a moment it's almost like his head is lunging forward at her--

But then it stops, since as he blinks and closes his mouth his eyes go back to normal. ]

[What...?

It all happened in an instant, his eyes changed- the way his mouth opened and... She soon found herself sitting up, moving away from him slightly, her eyes wide and she tried to get her heart beat back to normal. She wasn't one to overly freak out when she's scared, even so- it frightened her to see such a thing and... and...

God, they had even slept together and he was supposed to be this monster?]

[She let out a shaky breath, sitting up straight and looking down at him with a slight glare.]

What was... that for? [okay she gets it- he's dead. Does he want an award or something?]

[ ... Yeah. He expected that reaction, prett much. After all, he was just a monster. 'Shiki'.. a corpse demon, huh? Something that isn't human, something that isn't supposed to exist and not allowed to exist.. He wouldn't be surprised if she finds him repulsive. He finds himself repulsive, either way. ]

You couldn't believe I was dead. So I proved it. [ It's at least said with more or less the same semi-apathic tone as usual again. He just stares right back at her despite the glare, gaze hardened a little too but.. it's more since he wants to see more or her reaction. Surely she'd leave now, right? Run as fast as she can, yeah. ]

Edited 2012-03-14 22:26 (UTC)

[Leave? Maybe. She feels like running away- but only because she hates anything that has to do with curses or the supernatural, not because they're frightening, but because she doesn't like the lives that have been taken from them.

She huffs slightly and looks down at her blouse, doing up more of the buttons.]

Are you always this blunt? [Yeah, she wasn't the type to stay scared. Even after their teacher had committed suicide in front of them she had that same hardened gaze and just consoled her friend instead of dwelling on it.]

[ He still hasn't bothered with any of his clothes, nope. Natsuno also isn't looking away from her, really - just staring up. ]

There's no need to sugarcoat it, right? [ Besides, she looks like she can handle it, either way. She's not like the people from the village - weak, scared, hiding.. ]

... Do you regret it now?

[ you know, doing it and all. ]

[She pauses at that- looking down at him, her eyes narrowing yet again. Does she regret it....? What a question. She always thought things through- she was the class rep, the one that was supposed to be in charge of keeping people alive.

And yet she wasn't even doing a very good job of that...]

Honestly. [She leaned forward, moving closer to him and soon enough she had pressed her lips against his- that should be a good enough answer for his question. But just in case he's not only blunt but surprisingly dense she pulls away after a bit, a small smile on her face.]

What kind of class rep would I be if I did things I knew I would regret later?

[ That.. wasn't the answer he expected, and it's not the right answer - his duty was to die, and he can't do that if he still has something which keeps him here, and yet.. he finds part of him enjoying the answer. He isn't smiling (when does he ever?) but actually looks more almost surprised for a moment before settling back to his usual more neutral expression, although less grumpy now.

Without a word, he climbs off the bed, just enough to quickly tug on his underwear and a pair of pants spread throughout the room so he isn't completely naked anymore and then he suddenly returns to the bed, pushing - no, pushing is too strong of an action, more like coercing her down on the bed so he hovers over her instead now. ]

... I'm going to school with you. [ YES, HE GAVE IN TO THAT MUCH.. 8| And he's saying it in that tone that leaves little room for argument since it's just stupidly stubborn and determined. ] If you're the class rep, you can just tell them I'm a transfer student, right? Nobody can notice I'm dead.

[ He lowers his face just a little. ] I'm going to help you with that problem of yours. [ SEE, HE DOES CARE.. ]

[She watched him move to pull some clothes on- about to question him if he was really about to just toss everything on and hurry to school when he was suddenly in front of her again, pushing her gently down to the bed.

Akazawa stared up at him, her expression one of amusement. She wasn't about to glare at him or anything just yet, she was truly just happy to have him around.... dead or not. Ah- what would the others say if they found out about this? No, she had to keep it a secret.

She reached up to him, her arms going around his neck, pulling him a little closer to her.]

Moron, I'm the head of the countermeasures group... I'm supposed to try and prevent the tragedy from happening- adding in another student might make it worse you know.

[ Normally he's very quick to distance himself, to reject gestures like that, but now he just let her draw him closer. God, what was it even about her-- the way she wasn't like any of the people he knew in the village, none like those ignorance fools, nothing like the way Megumi whined and forced him into the role of ideal prince charming.. even nothing like Tohru, even though it was the one person he actually liked, and that way he was much, much too soft, too weak. ]

Make it worse? What are they going to try and do, kill me? [ The sound coming from his throat is almost amused, really. ] Go ahead, let them. I'd be surprised if they could kill someone who's already dead.

[ He gets a bit more serious - and definitely determined, too - again. ]

I can help. If it's anything supernatural causing it, I can fight. Much better than humans too, but-- [ ... ah, right.. his voice trails off, as if he's thinking of something - probably unpleasant, by the way he averts his gaze just a little. ]

[...Ah, she hadn't told him exactly what it meant to be in class 3, but they had to do to even survive the school year. One person must cease to exist, making the number of students even. After Sakakibara came in... the number went up and he talked with Misaki- breaking that trend and she knew there was no stopping it now.

Transfer students couldn't possibly know about the rules of the classroom...

She rolls her eyes at his words, her hands slipping from his neck to his shoulders.]

Foreign exchange student. [she pauses before she continues, laughing slightly.] The class will kill me.... or at least get angry at the administration for supposedly letting another transfer student in....

[she blinks.] Can you tell the dead apart from the living?

A transfer student without any kind of background too. [ 'Natsuno Yuuki' was already long dead in any and all official records, after all - his voice is just a little deadpan. ] Such a cliche mysterious story sounds like it'd fit right in.

[ By now he leans down far enough for their foreheads to practically be touching, really. ]

And I can tell my brand of the dead apart from the living, yeah, since I'm so used to them. But if they're not a Shiki like me, I doubt I could tell. Maybe if I'd use my heightened senses, but.. I can't use those like this. Not unless.. [ the next words come out a bit relunctantly. ] .. not unless I drink blood.

[She closes her eyes when she feels him come closer- just taking in his presence. Really, if they kept this up she had a feeling they might be late for school. The strong and responsible Izumi Akazawa couldn't allow that to happen...

...But maybe, just this once, she could be a little late this morning.

She keeps her expression the same, even when he mentions drinking blood. She figured there was some kind of catch to it- he couldn't be dead and stay in the realm of the living without any kind of compensation.]

Mmm.... I thought you could help us locate the one in the classroom that's meant to be the extra... [the dead person, of course. And her next sentence comes out a little quieter.] Do you need to drink blood to survive?

[ Meant to be the extra..? He still isn't entirely sure what's going on at her school, but.. if she's talking about an extra and dead people, is the extra the dead person? At least if it was a Shiki, no way it'd be one of the vampires-- it'd definitely be a werewolf like him, that could walk outside in daylight. But he definitely can't win a fight against another werewolf when not on full strength, without having had blood, to not even speak of what he'd do if it was some other kind of dead.

For now it's easier though to just focus on his questions while the back of his mind continues thinking about all of it. ]

Not to survive. I can survive off regular food too, like humans. [ His own voice seems to lower in volume along with her own, even though there's no one here but them, no one to overhear them either way. ] It's just that I'm weaker if I don't drink blood, then I'm more like a human. But with drinking blood you gain special abilities, like superhuman strength, speed, senses, hypnosis.. well, you get the image.

[She made a sound, indicating that she was at least listening to him- thinking over what he had been saying. So... he's dead, more like the undead, able to walk around and act like a regular human... he could eat regular food too but- he needed blood to get stronger? She wondered if he needed that necessarily, or if it was better to not drink blood at all and go back to being like a human but...

If he encountered others like him and he was weak... wouldn't that be bad?

She pushed him away from her a bit, enough to look up at him at least.]

If you.... really need it, you can drink my blood. [a beat.] Not too much though, I need that to survive. I'm not some circus-freak like you.

[ He has her hands on the mattress now he's higher up again after being pushed, on the sides of her and he's staring down at her. Seriously, she was telling him to drink her blood? No way, there was definitely no way he could do that, he had told himself he wouldn't drink human blood. He isn't like those others. Even as something less than a human he wants to keep his human dignity. He's not like them.

But.. whatever was going on at her school sounded serious. And no matter how much some part of him might deny it, he wants to protect her from it. If anyone needs to get hurt, it's better if it's him. But for that he actually needs to drink her blood? ... Ugh. It nerves and irks him, this paradox, so much that he even forgets to provide some sort of counter-remark to the insult. Instead he frowns a little, as if he's struggling with himself. ]

If I would just have some like this, nothing bad would happen to you. You'd just feel a little light-headed the rest of the day. [ That much would be okay though if he'd go to school with her - he would be at full power so more than capable of protecting her if need be. ]

But.. you're sure about this? [ actually he's the unsure one!! ] You said you didn't do stuff you'd regret, right?

[Yeah, she always thought things through- and sometimes... she realized that her decisions weren't the best, but she always did them for the sake of everyone else. She was always thinking of the collective, what her responsibility was. She brought a hand up to his face, touching his cheek.]

It's fine. Being a little light headed is nothing.

[With that, she started to sit up again, pushing him away a bit. When she was once again in a sitting position she looked down at her blouse, undoing some of the top buttons. After she had, she pulled the collar down a bit, exposing her left shoulder- allowing him access to more skin.]

If you get any blood on my shirt I will hurt you.

Would serve me right, at least.

[ Although not really for spilling blood but for even considering drinking her blood - if Tatsumi would see this, he would laugh at him so hard, at how he was already becoming more like one of them, but.. shit, this wasn't the same. He's not like them, not like them-- maybe if he repeats it often enough in his head, he'll start believing it himself too.

He grips her shoulders, his touch rather gently now actually. With a silent nod of agreement he slowly leans forward, hovering over her neck for a few moments as he opens her mouth. Yeah, he's still hesitating, even now. The only other time he did this it was part of an agreement too, but still.. it sucked no matter how many times he did it.

In the end Natsuno mans himself up though and forces himself to bite down. He at least knows what it feels like himself to get your blood sucked, so he can empathize with her.. but right now all he feels is his fangs sinking down into her neck, and as he starts sucking he starts to feel her blood entering his body. ]

[She waits for it- that pain that would soon take her over. She knew it would hurt, she knew what she was getting herself into- even so, she had to let him consume some blood and regain his powers. She didn't want him to feel weak either...

When he bit down she felt that surge of pain rush through her body, she couldn't help but let out a light gasp at that.Her hands moved up to his back, her nails digging into his skin lightly- but as the process continued, as she felt more of her blood leave her, she dug her nails further into his back. Akazawa had moved her head to the side a bit, allowing him to be able to bite more of her neck... she wasn't too sure how long this would last until he was satisfied, but she would endure.

She trusted him- she trusted him enough to go through what they did last night, and even enough to let him suck her blood. She trusted that he wouldn't keep going until she was completely dry- all she could do was stare ahead at nothing, light gasps leaving her every so often.]

Y-... Yuuki-kun... [she didn't mean to let that slip, but whenever he got this close to her she couldn't help but say his name in such a hushed manner.]
