Three days later Ryako was shaken awake by a producer of his who first just went in to get a song but saw the pictures and had to know who took them "what do you want" Ryako said "two things where's the song" Courtney said "its on the vanity" Ryako said still half asleep "Two who took these pictures and maneged to get you to actually show emotions?" Courtney said Ryako sat up and looked at her "i actually wanted to talk to you about him" Ryako grabbed the pictures and hands them to Courtney who then looks through the pictures "would you mind trying to get him to talk to us about a few things and for a photo shoot id like to see what he can do with equipment we have be sure to tell him if the pictures don turn out good he will be payed for helping out anyway and if anything changes we will call you but if at all possible can you have him come around 1 today and try not to avoid us and the photo shoot" Courtney said "yah ok" Ryako said "ima take a few of these pictures and show my partner" Courtney said then left Ryako rubbed his eyes and checked his phone "Niko..." Ryako mumbled he put his phone down then went and took a shower and just got himself ready for the day meanwhile Niko stirs and opens his eyes which were blood red "this is bad this is really bad" Niko mumbled he heald his head "no no no i need to stay in control i must stay in contr-" Niko said but stopped talking "just a few kills wont hurt right" Niko said he was lost in his bloodlust at the moment about 20 minutes later he had already killed 5 people each body drained of blood but he killed each victim first for some reason his tail was broken due to a fight one of the victoms put up and then he snapped back to his normal mindset "No..." Niko looked at his hands and how they were covered in blood he then got sick to his stomach he walked to the wall of the allway he put his hands on the wall his feet out the way and he just threw up everything in his system a bit after he just teleported to his house each body was already burned and gone Niko took a shower and cleanes himself up then dried himself up and put clean cloths on then walked out "im still a little bit weak...." Niko said he grabbed 2 antipsychic pills then swallowed it dry he then sent a message to Ryako saying he was up as he didn't feel like talking to anyone he still felt nauseous because of the smell of blood he walked to the room where he printed the pictures he looked through the pictures he had left then printed out a copy of the ones Ryako took and walked to the wall and hung the pictures up he walked back to his room and laid down he heard his phone buzz so he grabbed it and saw thet Ryako sent a text saying he was on his way Niko jumped up "well damn" Niko mumbled and sent a text saying ok he put his phone down he put his hand over the wound Ryako made the day befor and sighed "i dont understand why the wound wont heal" Niko said blood ran down from the wound soon after Ryako knocked at the door "coming" Niko yells out and walked to the door and opens it Ryako almost immediately looked at Nikos bleeding wound "Niko why did you take the bandage off" Ryako asked trying not to look at the blood "close the door" Niko said walking to his room Ryako closed the door and walked to Niko "mind letting me rebandage the wound" Ryako said Niko sat on his bed "yah sure" Niko said his ears were bent back and his tail was bent at and odd angele it was broken Niko stared at the ground "take yours shirt off im going to clean up the blood and stich the wound" Ryako said Niko then removed his hoodie he wasn't wearing anything under it like he normally did Ryako noticed how Niko didn't give any kind of reaction he normally had a blush but he didn't show anything he jad scars going up and down his arms and chest and had what looked like whip wounds on hos back and a few on his chest "Niko whats going on" Ryako said he ignored the scars at the moment he didn't think like now was the right time to ask about it he then teleported a wipe some gaws and bandages "i will explain in a bit'' Niko said Ryako whiped the blood up then stitched the wound he put the gaws over the wound and wrapped the bandages around Nikos neck "what happened to your tail Niko and whats going on with you" Ryako said "well my tail is broken because i broke it to stay calm and nothing going on im just having some trouble with my need for blood its getting stronger and ive just been a bit focused on that"Niko said looking at Ryako "dont do that agin to your tail its bad" Ryako said he went to check Nikos tail but Niko grabbed his tail immediately when he saw Ryako reach out for it "it will heal in about an hour" Niko said tears slowly start to form in his eyes he let go as to he just grabbed exactly where it broke but that obviously wasn't why he was crying "Niko are you ok? Whats wr-" Ryako said but was cut off by Niko hugging him Ryako was surprised by this and huged back and gently rubbed Nikos back "are you ok Niko whats going on" Ryako asked "its getting harder and harder to control it even with the pills" Niko said "pills?" Ryako said he was confused "my blood lust is getting to strong i can't fight it anymore i cant do it anymore i cant handle being so alone anymore i dont know what to do anymore Ryako help me please" Niko said Ryakos eyes widen at this Nikos always refused help with this kind of stuff before and to see him in teats practically begging for help it was almost unbelievable Ryako leaned in a bit once he calmed down "you arnt alone anymore Niko you wont ever be alone again i promise no matter what rather im right here with you or miles apart im always here for you and as to helping you i can try but you need to stop only drinking blood when you want to you need a regular feeding scedual just like you have with normal food and its ok so calm down" Ryako whispers Niko hugged Ryako a bit tighter "and what pills are you taking?" Ryako asked "ive been taking antipsychics i was prescribed i hate taking medicine but i have a small problem ive suppressed my bloodlust for way to long now and..." Nikos voice traled off "Niko we need to get you off the pills soonee or later it will be hard and ima ask again since i now get the feeling you lied yesterday have you killed befor Niko" Ryako said Niko grips the back of Ryakos hoodie "Yes" Niko said Ryako could feel Niko putting a bit more of his own wight onto him "When was the last time you killed Niko"Ryako asked Niko froze his arms then drop to his side Nikos forhead against Ryakos chest his eyes wide and within seconds Niko put his hand to his mouth like he was going to throw up again "i will be right back Ryako"Niko said then ran to the bathroom he went straght to the toilet and threw up the smell was to strong for him again and the thought of what happened had him really messed up Ryako walked to the door of the bathroom Niko had a look of fear in his eyes his mind was currently to weak to handle what he had to do and what he does "Niko when did you kill last" Ryako asked again "this morning why does it matter" Niko said pulling at his hair a bit he closed his eyes for a moment as it to make sure he wasn't going to throw up his nose was thrown off at the moment he flushed the toilet and walked to the sink and cleanes his face up he then looked at himself in the mirror Ryako walked behind Niko and leaned in and whispers "Niko stop being so scared it wont make you a heartless monster but you need to tuffen up you cant go through the rest of your life terrified to kill or to drink" Niko turned around and looked at Ryako "20" was all Niko said in that moment Ryako looked at Niko "what about 20" Ryako said "im not a mimmic shape shifter Ryako im a glitch i can't find another glitch or dream demon to kill in order to live past the age of 20 i need to kill at least one of them"Niko said Ryakos eyes narrowed this pissed him off "why the hell are you only telling me this now after all these years! After the past few days and you are just telling me you have a little less than 2 years left to live!" Ryako screamed he basically had Niko pinned to the counter "HOW THE HELL WAS I SUPPOSED TO TELL YOU I DIDN'T EVEN WANT YIU TO KNOW SO YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO WACH ME DIE!" Niko yells pushing Ryako off him and aginst the wall "you really thought i wouldn't fine out or something" Ryko said switching them so he is now pinning Niko to the wall "i didn't want to wach the only person ive ever loved cry over my body as i took my final breath this is something i was born with so me being kinda dead now does nothing its a curse so im going to die if i cant find them!bit at least i jave a chance" Niko said trying to flip them but Ryako had to stron of a grip "loved?" Ryako said his eyes a bit wide "y-" Niko was cut off well distracted by Ryakos phone ringing Ryako let go of Niko and Niko looked at the ground he answers and immediately screamed "what the hell do you want!" Ryako clearly still pissed he soon calmed down "i havent told him yet um i got a bit busy with something "yah gimme a sec i will call you back" Ryako said and hung up "Niko sorry i screamed and my producers wannt you to do a photo shoot and youll get paid they also want to talk to you about a few thing wanna go?" Ryako said Niko looked at Ryako "Yah but um Ryako my sense of smell will return to normal and the smell is still a bit strong for me what do i do about that?" Niko said "im not sure" Ryako said Niko sighed "this will hurt for a while but its the best i got" Niko mumbled "huh?" Ryako said Niko then put his hand to his nose and broke it Ryako freaked "itll stop my sense of smell and if it comes back i know what i will do"Niko said his tail swaying it was already healed "lets go then they want you to use the equipment they have there" Ryako said "ok let me get a hoodie then we can go" Ryako walked to his closet and put on a grey t shirt then his hoodie he pit his hat on and ajusted it so his ears would show he grabbed his bag then went back to Ryako "ready?" Ryako said "yep" Niko said "now you better explained what you ment by loved when we get back"Ryako said then teleported them both to the studio where theyd be having the photo shoot
