I immediately bolted up from the seat, grabbed her wrist, and turned her around.

"No you're not. You can't!" I said.

"And why not? I don't like it either, Yuki, but I'm the one who's causing all this!" Kira said as she yanked her wrist out of my grip.

"Have you forgotten?! You're a magi! You could easily break out with your super strength and then there's your fire powers! And now that you're a freakin' werewolf, you could probably break out and definitely kill everyone there!" I said as I put my hands on her shoulders.

Kira's expression changed as she looked down at her hands.

"You're right....aren't you?" She said softly. I took my hands off her shoulders and just looked at her.

"There's so many things I can do with these hands now. I might even turn if I get mad. But when a full moon's out, these hands are no longer mine. They become something that are still a part of me, yet are something I can no longer control until the sun rises." She said.

I sighed.

"We'll get through this together." I said.

Kira didn't say a word, turned around, walked into the kitchen, and started rummaging through everything.

"What is it now?" I asked.

"We got any silver? The only thing that can get us through this is silver." Kira said.

"Well, we have knives."

Kira sighed and closed the drawer she was looking in.

"I have to be killed, Yuki. Someone has to kill me before I cause any more harm. It's horrible living like this." Kira said.

"Well, you don't have to worry about anything tonight. Tonight's not a full moon so you'll be able to sleep with me tonight."

Kira raised a brow.

"Not in that way, Kira."

"Oh, so what about tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow's a full moon, unfortunately." I said.

Kira walked past me and just flopped down face first onto the bed.

"Well, at least I have tonight to be me, I guess." She said.

"And I finally have a night to be with you. All those mornings I woke up with you on the beach was strange." I said.

"And same goes for me. Who'll be next, I wonder? Although I really don't want to think about it...." Kira said as she rolled around on the bed and was now facing the ceiling.

"Well, tonight you don't have to worry about that. Tomorrow, on the other hand...." I said, my voice trailing off as I made a face.

But not a disgusted face. A face like I wasn't sure to expect.

Kira's POV
It was now night time. Yuki and I were asleep in bed, and it was at least eleven thirty PM.

While asleep, I had a dream.

Everything looked dark, like a pitch black void.

At first, that is.

The more I ran, the more things came into view. Eventually, everything had formed and I was now running through a town that had most of its lights off. I had stopped running by this time.

I was walking around and taking in all the sights.

While I was just walking and minding my own business, I heard someone make a strange sound. Like they were disgusted, almost.
