Runaway Train

*Shizuma*

Hours have gone by. No one has found Yuki yet. I became worried. This wasn't like my Yuki. He never just disappears. Something must be wrong. But, what was it? I couldn't figure it out. It all seemed lost.

But then, I stopped. What am I thinking? I can find him perfectly. I just need to try harder! So, I closed my eyes and concentrated hard. I focused hard on his sweet energy. Come on! You can do this, Shizuma! Just focus!

Within seconds, I had found him! He was right in our forest! Of course! Why didn't I think of that before? A smile came across my face. I held up my hand and began chanting. I felt my body get lighter. Soon, I vanished.

I reappeared in our forest. So far, I saw nothing. I listened closely. I heard sobbing in the distance. I smiled to myself. “Found you!” I thought. Then, I flew into the heart of the woods.

I found Yuki sitting near the log on the ground. I heard him crying. My heart ached for my angel badly. I slowly began walking forward.

 

*Yuki*

“Stay away from me!” I yelled. I heard him freeze. I didn't have to turn around to see who it was. My lovely demon was standing behind me. “What's wrong?” he asked. “Just leave me alone, okay?” I yelled out.

But, he didn't. Shizu-kun walked up to me and sat down. He put his arm around me. “Come on,” he encouraged. “Tell me what's wrong?” I hesitated at first. Should I tell him? Would he understand? I looked up and saw Shizu-kun smiling at me. “You can't really hide anything from me!” he seemed to say to me. “I can take the worst.”

I drew in a deep breath. “I don't want to go home!” I wailed out. Shizu-kun stared at me oddly. “Why not?” he asked. My eyes welled up at him. “It's all too painful!” I called out. Shizu-kun smiled out of sympathy at me. He held me close to his chest. I began to cry again. My painful years came flooding back in my head.

 

*Shizuma*

Poor soul. I saw his whole past. He had been bullied most of his life. It must be hard. But yet, the whole thing moved me deeply. It opened up some inner demons in my life. I had to get them out fast or I would go mad with guilt.

“I am… under two curses.” I confessed. Yuki looked up at me. His heavy green eyes were filled with tears. I was pushed to go on. “I kill people on impulse,” I continued. “And I drink blood.” There! I said it! But, hot will my love take it?

 

*Yuki*

I held my lovely demon closer. He inspired me. My life had a meaning again! “Don't worry my love,” I whispered. “I'll help you win! I will help you win!” Then, I turned his face to me and kissed him sweetly on the lips. I meant my promise.

Never Coming Back
