(LORE) HEALING

Soran shifted slightly as Mizuki joined him, opening his eyes for long enough to see that it was her. Even though he was exhausted, his instincts still pulled him awake. He rested his hand on her waist. "Is...?" he started to say, but he drifted off without finishing his sentence,

OOC: Time for some tamed evilness >:3

Mizuki shifted closer to Soran in her sleep, sleepily molding her body close to his and wrapped her arms around him. She nuzzled his neck and shoulder. After several moments, when Mizuki fell into an even deeper sleep, she wrapped her leg around Soran as if she couldn't get close to him enough.

Hours passed, until it was close to dawn outside.

He was running through a sea of flame. Screams echoed from all around him, warped by the heat into obscene screeches. He ran past them, not responding to their pleas. Siren's armblades were extended from his arms, coated in blood. A mess of bloodied feathers stretched across the path, aquamarine and white hair fallen around a brutalized female form. He leapt over Siren's corpse without a thought, heart pumping as he ran faster. He was running at full speed, but the more he ran, the more he knew he wasn't trying to escape something. He was pursuing.

Soran twitched in his sleep, a tense frown developing on his face as a thin sweat began covering his body.

Mizuki was startled awake when Soran twitched. Groggy, she distangled herself from him and sat up in bed. She rubbed her eyes and smoothed out her hair before looking over at Soran. Without using her seer powers, Mizuki didn't know that Soran was suffering from a nightmare. She just thought he either got hot or produced a fever from his unattended wound.

Feeling guilty, Mizuki went for their first aid kit and started to clean the already crusting over wound that Soran had on his arm while he slept. She even took a cool, wet cloth and placed it over his forehead to help cool him down.

His trenchcoat flew out behind him as he ran. A female form in a dress materialized ahead of him, cradling a child to her breast and running like she was being chased by the devil himself. She tripped, and fell. She sat up and looked back at him just as his blade drove through the child, into her chest. Her blood sprayed onto his face, and her body crumbled to the molten ground. She was crying. The child was already dead. Rai was dead. Mizuki stared at him with a look of disappointment and misery. He didn't respond. He lifted his blade overhead, easily. Her eyes screamed out to him but she didn't make a sound as the blade flew downward to impale her chest.

Soran sucked in a stunned breath, his eyes flying open. His sharp gaze was unfocused, not yet fully separating reality from his dream. It was a dream; he knew it was a dream. It had been so long since he'd had one, but he remembered the dread of the task he was performing now, separating in a daze how much of the dream was real and how much imagined. Usually the results made him feel worse instead of better.

Mizuki gasp and feel backwards on her bottom when Soran jumped awake. He was panicked, she didn' need seer powers to tell her that. Momentarily forgetting his half binded wound, Mizuki moved to comfort him.

"Soran, are you alright?" she asked him sincerly while caressing his cheek. He felt so warm.

Soran twitched backward into the pillow as Mizuki touched him, shooting her a wary glance. Seeing her reminded him of where he was, and who he was with. "Fine," he replied instinctively, his throat feeling dry. Feeling guilty for jerking away from her but still tense, he reached up and took the hand that touched his face, squeezing it lightly and lowering it to his chest. Then he felt the bandages she had been dressing, and looked at them oddly. When his gaze met hers again, it was more like his usual self. "I said you didn't have to," he said gently. Then he noticed what she was wearing, and blinked away at the wall at the thought that briefly crossed his mind.

(OOC: he is one confused man-elf)

OOC: bwuahahahaha

Mizuki didn't notice his embarassment of how she was dressed. "I wanted to," she said. "I thought you were getting a fever from it. Besides, it should've been tended to anyway and since I'm done..." She withdrew her hand from his light grasp for a moment to tie the bind together. When she returned to look at his face she noticed even more scratches from battle, though minor they were. He already had a new scar on his face. Mizuki touched the scar lightly.

"I swear... you make me want to full body exam you just to make sure you're alright." She was completely serious until she realized how it sounded and blushed. "I mean--that didn't come out right." she blurted.

Soran smirked at her comment, looking her in the eye again. "If you really want to," he said in a low, calm tone that was surprisingly seductive. His hand reached up and brushed her neck. He wondered why it was suddenly a challenge to keep his hormones in check. Did it have something to do with his memories returning, or was it just that without the certainty of his past, he'd been unwilling to acknowledge this part of himself?

OOC: must resist urge to.......pounce Soran

Mizuki's only responce to his completely uncharacteristic actions was to go completely still and blush until she became beet red. His touch felt--this was insane! In the past any action like that would've gotten Soran smacked... she really had changed. She suddenly felt warm all over.

Her body shifted just slightly, as if trying to respond to Soran's touch despite Mizuki's utter stillness. Because of the shift in body weight, Mizuki felt lighter suddenly, and her right shoulder sleeved dropped down her shoulder. Revealing the tanned, bare flesh of her shoulder and neck. She still didn't move.

Soran glanced at Mizuki's disarrayed neckline, feeling a pang of heat in his stomach, but he sensed tension in her and didn't push any further. He wasn't even sure if he was prepared himself to do what his body was asking him at the moment. He fixed her sleeve, his fingers playing on her collarbone a moment longer than necessary before breaking the contact. He looked up at her, her hair glowing softly in the pre-dawn light from the window. "You're beautiful," he said, because it was true.

Mizuki blinked out of her tension and shook her head. She was still blushing. Her heart was racing, she took in a shaky breath and found that she couldn't bring herself to look him in the eye. "Thank you," she said breathlessly. She thanked him for both stopping and complimenting her. She had no idea what would've happened if it had progressed further... she didn't even know if she could handle it herself.

Soran nodded, keeping his mind clear. He wanted to pull her close to him and fall asleep again, but it was already almost dawn. The thought of Rai suddenly crossed his mind. He still hadn't had a moment to really check on her since the fight. He frowned to himself, knowing how much agony she had lifted from his body to her own. It was hugely irresponsible of him to allow it, but the situation was desperate. "I should go to Rai," he said to Mizuki. "Was Siren alright?"

Mizuki · Post by **Mizuki** » Sun Jul 30, 2006 12:13 pm

Mizuki nodded, agreeing and got to her feet. "She's sleeping, but I told her you would see her soon." she paused for a moment and dared a chance to look at him. He was so handsome... Thoughts raced passed her mind that made her blush and her heart quicken. She had to calm down. "Siren told me she was fine... if she had any wounds she didn't let me know of them and probably took care of them already." Her gaze became a stare and she bit her bottom lip in an effort to try and stop the thoughts racing by her.

She was biting so hard her lip began to bleed.

Soran touched his wounded shoulder absently and sat up, his long hair falling into place around his neck and in his face. He stood up and dragged his hand through it as he walked to where Mizuki was. A touch of red on her face drew his attention, and he saw her lip bleeding. It concerned him until it registered why she would be biting her lip in the first place.

"I'm flattered," he murmured, touching her face and leaning in close, "but don't hurt yourself." His tongue swept lightly over her cut before his mouth met hers, smooth and slow.
