Heeeyyy! Look, a posteh all to ourselves. Mines pink. With hearts in the background.... I don't know if your skin shows up the same as mine or not, but....

Anyway—OMG, that heart's pinker than that heart!

[Marluxia teh Petal Princess]

[[Geh, I'm always hyper. Or hyper-of-sorts, depending on who I'm with.... <3 lol, see what I mean. Anyway, whenever you wanna start. I'm gonna try real hard to stay in-charri, but it might be difficult right now. Oh well, for the continutaion of your fic!]]

[.x. I.llumni .x.]

Annie feels loved <3 Lol. Well... Zero's a little out of character in all the chapters, but whateva' xD

-Sigh.- Those two new episodes of Bleach were very satsifactory tonight, dun' think much will match up to that. Not even Edward. XD

Anyway... back on topic. I'll just repeat what part of the chapter I already have, and you can pick up from there.

Suppose you can play Kaname too, if that be easier, as Zero and Him are 'conflicting violetly' among each other. Lol.

-xxx- Coming Undone -xxx-

While it rains on my side

It shines on yours.

“-x-”

Chapter Eight

Condemned

I am the sin. And you are the sinner.

My throat burned, seared, and as of my current standings, I didn’t see it beginning to let up anytime soon. Nothing grazed my vision, although everything brushed through absent minded thoughts. I didn’t know what I’d become. Nor did I want to. But I had a strange feeling that someone was going to tell me. I didn’t need to know. I just didn’t want to believe it. His fault. He did this. Now what? Everything had become so broken as of this very moment. The ground was cold up against my hard skin. Half unconscious and half awake. For I could hear everything. The footsteps. The voices. The gunshots. Everything. And screaming. Screaming from and un-deciphered destination.

Memories tried their hardest to push their way violently into my mind. But I fought to accept them. Were they really significant? Half of myself supposed they were. Though I wasn’t positive either way, but there seemed to be a single memory that managed to leak through.

‘Welcome home, my sister.’

That one statement, was the one that devoured my mind. Pounded away at me until there was nearly nothing more to consider. There was no way what he had said could have been a truthful sentence, could it? At the moment, my conscience seemed to cluttered with excess thoughts, nothing else seemed to register.

[[What were the episodes tonight, anyway? Gods, and how'd you make your font all little 'n' cute like that. -envies cute text-]]

I knew my efforts would be futile, somehow. Hexa had said she wouldn't die, but that didn't matter much. It was at the back of my mind. Somehow I hoped that, because I truly, truly wanted this to happen, it would - I chould just shoot her and she'd fall over dead, like a good Nevaeh. I wanted to be able to save Yuuki from becoming what she was most inevitably destined to become, even though I knew I couldn't.

Gritting my teeth bitterly, I fired off another round, possibly a reaction from building tension and frustration. Reloading, I cocked the pistol and watched my hand shake. I'd kill Kaname if I had to - after all I hated the pureblood. Passionately despised him; and for all the right reasons. Some of them equal to those that fueled Yuuki's twin hatred. Because, on top of already hating Kaname and all pureblooded vampires, I wanted Yuuki; and before, I couldn't have her. It would seem that Fate had turned her resplendent visage to shine upon me, rewarding me for all the time I had successfully put up with them.

Ahm... Number 216 and 217, I think. Still over in the Vizard arc, they were teaching Ighigo how to control the hollow side of him, but it ended on a 'To Be Continued.' Blehh. xD

And the text? It's only smaller. Lol. Just go like... [ size=0 ] text and such going here. [ /size ] -- Without spaces.

Moments fell away, each gaining the feeling of plummeting further into that inferno of hell. And that it was. Every last drop of strength was being drained from my body, and no matter how desperately I tried, my eyelids were heavy and refused to lift. Though I positive, that apart from the violent wave of memories that had only happened minutes ago, my eyes wouldn't open because of the exhaustion that followed death, but simply because I had become much too weak. It seemed, there was a drastic difference between the two. But these feeble attempts meant nothing, as I was unable to speak, vocal cords raw from the wailing which seemed to cease, the only feeling of bliss that had flowed through me within the previous events.

I mean... 116 and 117. xD

I found this on DA. It's pretty amazing.... I can't draw like that; but I have a DA, though....

[[Yay! Little text! Go Marly! The Vizard Arc hasn't even started in Canada yet, lol. We're a little slow, eh?]]

Finally giving in, I heaved a deep sigh and pressed my eyes closed. I wished over and over that this would come to an end, no matter what had to be done to finish it. I lowered the Bloody Rose, slowly and reluctantly. My hand shook, and I fought to steady it. What had to be done really had to be done. Shifting my gaze from the Nevaeh, I let an icy amaranthine glare fix upon the back of Kaname's head as he drew back slightly admiring his work. My mind screamed 'Target Acquired', and I raised the Bloody Rose again.

"This is for Yuuki." I whispered, barely audible, though enough to catch Kaname's attention. He turned to smirk at me, carefully cleaning the blood off his fangs in one quick run-over of his tongue. He pushed himself to stand and strode over to where I was near frozen in place, leveling the barrel of my pistol with his forehead. His eyes bore into mine, forcing my to harden them, staring through argent locks that fell over my face. I was fully into that mood - someone was going to die today.

"Do it, Kiryn." Kaname's silken voice twisted like a beautiful grey smoke, entering though my ears and gripping my sanity tightly. I growled and shot forward to wrap one hand around his delicate-skinned nape, my nails penetrating the defenses too easily. I expected his hands to fly to mine to try to pry it away, but he didn't. I knew he wouldn't, really, but that wasn't what I wanted. He only smirked at me, fueling my anger further. "I know you really want to. Pull the trigger."

I was torn. My eyes flashed to Yuuki, laying there, dying. Her change was beyond reversal. The moment Kaname's fangs touched her it was irreversible; but given her past, I knew it was bound to happen. I had known her too long to let her down; but somehow it was impossible for me to even cock the pistol - ready it for a shot. I wanted to throw Kaname down and walk away with Yuuki at my side, though I knew it wasn't happening this time. I had to do something and letting him go simply wasn't an option anymore.

xD Annie loved that part in the manga <3 I tried to draw that once. Lets just say it didn't turn out 'well.' XD

I was having some major spaz attack after I read chapter 50 online last night. -_- It made Annie angry. Very angry. It totally disobeyed the law of the Zero x Yuuki fangirls. I don't think i should spoil it though, so that's all I'll say. Lol.

Mehh. Not slow, just... saving. XD


There was silence among myself with his retraction, though the area surrounding whas chaotic, I was able to comprehend that much without the nessitiy of human eyesight. And even through the pain and distractions, my hearing alone seemed to increase tenfold, filtering through the differnces of Kaname's velvet engulfment of a tone and Zero's own cold and infuriated lexis, even if it wasn't directed at me, it still brought comfort of some level to know that he refused to leave. That he was still here and was pouring his heart and soul into my well-being.

[Marluxia teh Petal Princess]

[[Well, I'm glad you're not making fun of my country, lol.
Geh, I have to start reading VK again.... I will eventually. I think....]]

I was breathing heavily, letting my orbs dart back and forth between Kaname and Yuuki. I wouldn't let this continue like 'old times'. I couldn't. I couldn't betray Yuuki and her trust, and her life - her very existence - and I couldn't throw our... friendship... our relationship away. I wanted her. I wanted her safe and protected. I wanted.... Everything - I felt to be near on top of the world in this position of so much control now. And yet....

The look in Kuran's eyes was controlling me. How could I feel so much power and yet have none? It was unthinkable, and yet happening. It was unnerving, angering, so thoroughly frustrating.... I took a deep, hard breath in and released it slowly, clearing my mind. I closed my eyes and suddenly Kaname's influence disappeared entirely. Newly freed, my mind wandered, dropping notes out of oblivion - leading me on. I appeared back on that rainy day, standing with my arms wrapped around Yuuki, my hands over hers, guiding her fingers and arms to find the notes on the ebony fingerboard, and to draw the bow back and forth over the strings slowly and rhythmically. My breathing soon slowed to the pace of the song's beat, calming me in turn. I finally opened my eyes, reluctantly letting go of that fond reverie, pressing it back to oblivion.

"Finished dreaming, Kiryn?" That velvety voice wrapped around me, cold as ice and penetrating - however, my mind would no longer listen. This was for Yuuki - and I realized that if I could do this, I could have her. I bared my fangs, staring out through my bangs at him. He kept smirking, probably expecting me to let go.

The sound of the chain click filled the air. Cocked and ready. Kaname looked rather surprised, but before I let him out of this life, I lowered my gun. "You know I hate you so much, Kuran Kaname. But," I rested my finger delicately on the trigger, so ready to lift the pistol and kill him once and for all. But when I pulled the trigger, it was aimed squarely for his foot. There was another shot, and then a third. Left foot, right shin, and abdomen. "I refuse to soil my parents' grave with your dying breath." I released him, letting him fall to his knees. He cried out at the impact, then recoiled and fell forward, convulsing to all extremity. Someone who didn't know him would have inferred that tears were running down his pallid cheeks from the searing of the pain; but I knew better. I looked up to Yuuki, then moved forward.

Upon reaching her, I knelt at her side, and scooped her into my arms. With my free hand, I moved her bangs from her face, placing my forehead on hers. "We'll be alright," I assured her, though it was more to myself than to her. Somehow, I still needed to convince myself that this would work. It had to. "I couldn't kill him; after all death would be better than a life without you — I've put him into an eternal purgatory, just as he deserves."
