Soul Eater: Crystals, Stars and Bullets

Chapter 20 - Slumber

~Tyshi's POV~

The moment I saw Itchii worry about Hanna...

His eyes on her and not on me

Him shouting her name and not mine...

I breathed a sigh of relief.

I didn't want him to see me like this...

When I'm at my weakest.

"Go, Itchii..."

. . .

"Save...her..."

=_=

"Urgh," I stirred around.

I couldn't open my eyes. I had no energy.

I tried moving my hands and feet. Nothing...

"Ar-Are you awake now?" A raspy voice said.

I know this...

Just the sound of him was strong enough to give me my strength back.

My eyes fluttered open. "...Itchii...?"

It didn't take a minute for me to figure out I was being carried. Bridal-style no less.

Adjusting my eyesight more, I could see his face...it was deadly pale. His chest...slowly rising up and down occasionally...but most of all, his bloodshot eyes.

Itchii.

No, Garry.

"Hey..." He whispered...then, losing all of his power, collapsed.

I didn't know how long I screamed. How long I cried for help.

How long the others pried me off of his body.

How long I had to watch him down.

That one image in my mind was enough to send me to adrenaline.

To bewilderment.

To hell.

It was enough to make me go look for revenge.

O.O

Mirrorring the weather outside, the room was a dull gray.

The sun not seen, the wind strong and the storm clouds pouring. Not the loud, one-shot rain. It was the slow, time-consuming one.

Except for a few sniffles from Yuri, the room was dead quiet.

So quiet, it was unbearable.

No one moved. No one talked. No one made noise.

No one dared to.

The view was energy-draining.

Inside the clinic once again, the place I knew I'd be back at--but not this fast.

Staring at the 3 people who were down, was Suki, Yuri, Zero and I. All dead-tired of feeling anymore grief.
