Vampire Kisses

63: Kokichi

"Sorry Shuichi, I don't know how," I sighed feeling the words leave my lips. I could hear his voice but to no avail was I able to move at all. Not able to open my eyes, not able to move my hands, not able to tell Shuichi everything I wanted to say.

"Why is this happening to me," I felt some tears well up in my eyes. I wasn't sure how I felt the tears come down my cheeks. Because my body was asleep in the outside world so how would I be able to move-

"Move," I said, feeling my hands curl at my command, I was able to open my eyes and saw that I was in a bright white room. I knew I wasn't dead, but I couldn't even begin to believe what I was seeing.

"But Shuichi, where are you?!" I yelled feeling my hands start to shake. I wasn't even wearing the clothes I remember having on, it was a white suit. There was no tie and it was very snug fitting. I looked over the room again and tried to calm myself down, because panicking won't help me.

"Hello, Kokichi," A voice called out. It wasn't Shuichi's and it wasn't my own...who could even be here anyway?

"What the hell do you want?" I asked, sounding more cold than I wanted to sound. I didn't want to have to be away from Shuichi...and his voice was all I had connected to me, and now his voice is gone from me. I'm alone. All alone with this voice.

"Calm down Kokichi," It said. I was able to pinpoint where the voice was coming from this time and it was right behind me. I turned around and saw a figure standing there. The figure seemed to be female. She was wearing a dress that was white similar to my suit. Her dress seemed more old fashioned, while my suit seemed more modern. Her hair was white alike to her pale skin. Everything about her had this white aura around it.

"I am Syn," She smiled. Her smile seemed kind but I wasn't able to tell if there was any malice behind her gaze, and it made me feel more on edge. "The wind spirit that now possesses your body," She said, making me flinch.

"So you are the reason I can't wake up?" I asked, allowing my shoulders to relax. From what Shuichi said I think we have to come to terms with one another, so better to be calm instead of intimidating.

"That is not correct, the reason you are unable to move is because you haven't accepted me as your co spirit." She said making a chill come over my shoulders. Jesus, so I have to accept that another person is living inside of my body? What the fuck?

"You seem confused, best to sit down," Her hand gestured to a seat that seemed to appear out of nowhere. Great, she is in complete control right now...god I hate being seen as under someone else.

"Okay," I said, sitting down, keeping my tone steady, this made her smile at me with a small laugh. She sat down moments after me and crossed her right leg over her right. "You seem pretty on edge Kokichi, you know I can feel your emotions too as well," Her words made me pale. Does that mean-

"Yes, that means we are one with another just as you are with Shuichi," I felt my hands clench. She can't take his spot in my life! She can't think for one moment that I would be with some-

"This doesn't mean I am attracted to you or bonded to you in any way. That is something you share with Shuichi, I in turn, share your emotions, love, and pain, other than that you are your own person," I relaxed a bit at this.

"That's good then," I said looking her over again. "So all we have to do is come to terms, so do you Kokichi Ouma accept that I Syn the wind spirit are now one in heart and soul?" She asked, making my face contort in confusion.

"What do you mean by that?" I paused. "Why didn't you say mind, body, heart, and soul?" I did find it strange that she didn't seem to mention those two things. Because me and Shuichi are connected in mind, body, heart, and soul. So does that mean she is only connected to my heart and soul? She seems to be more collected and concise so I don't think she would have phrased it that way for no reason.

"I mean that you and I are only connected to one another in those two ways, your heart when it feels love or pain, I feel it as well, and depending on the strength of the emotion, that is how much power you are able to gain from my soul to your own." She put her hand over her mouth before she continued.

"But these powers come with a downfall, other vampires that are not elemental will be harmed by you even if you are just having an emotional experience. But other elementals like Shuichi will take no damage from this." She took it a small breath as she put her hands in her lap. "Luckily for you air and fire are compatible elements, so instead of being dangerous for one another, you are stronger together," I looked down at my hands for a moment.

"So Shuichi has a spirit inside of him as well? Connected only to his soul and heart right?" I asked, feeling more comfortable talking with her. I still felt pretty off put by the whole sharing a soul and heart deal...

"That is correct, Hess, the fire spirit, possesses his soul as I possess your own," I feel like I'm understanding this better. So, me and her are connected, she is able to give me powers because of how she feeds off of my love and pain.

"So, now do you understand?" She asked before I gave her a brief nod. "Do you Kokichi Ouma accept that I Syn the wind spirit are now one in heart and soul?" She asked again. So I just have to accept and then I can wake up?

"I accept." I said confidently before she seemed to fade away as the room darkened again.

I tried to move and call out for Shuichi, but there was no sound, no movement, no life. I was alone, completely and utterly alone.

"SHUICHI!" I cried out but the words never seemed to come. "NO NO NO!!" I screamed, feeling panic course through me and I tried to move around. I tried to get up, I tried to open my eyes, I tried to scream, cry, anything to get Shuichi to hear me.

"SHUICHI PLEASE!" I called out again feeling my body become numb. I froze as my thoughts dissolved into nothing. Nothing, empty, and alone, my biggest fear. Being abandoned, in the dark, cold and numb with nothing but myself.

Please Shuichi,

Save me.
