Vampire Kisses

67: Kokichi

I smiled up at Shuichi when I felt the weight come off of my shoulders and my chest. "S...h...u?" I asked barely able to make the word out. Shuichi smiled at me and I felt a smile creep onto my own face as his smile warmed my cheeks.

"You spoke," He said, moving his head against my own. He smiled at me telling him that it hurt too much to speak again. My throat felt like it was burning, but I still felt happy because in this moment, it was me and him, nothing else to come into our moment. Just me and him smiling likr idiots at one another. Right here and right now.

I nodded at him before he moved his hands to cup my cheeks. "Kokichi," He whispered looking at me like he did when he was changing me, and the look he gave me when we first met each other. The look of longing and relief. It filled my senses and made me feel like I was special. Like his eyes were only on me, saved for me and me alone. I felt a little selfish because of how this feeling made me feel. I loved having him all to myself because he is amazing, and all these feelings he has helped me feel, I love all of them!

"We should get to looking around," He said looking to the side. I smiled and gave him a nod, telling him we could move. I felt weak as he walked a bit, but soon after this he moved his arms around my waist and it mafe me feel strong. I felt strong with him, he made all my insecurities, fears, and worries all become trivial issues the moment he holds me, the moments where he kisses me. I blushed a bit at the thought, but didn't even try to hide it.

I felt so happy, and I felt relieved that Shuichi was here...even if it was only because he was here to help me escape where ever this was. I shuddered at the thought, I hate being trapped here...it's been so long since I have been able to move. Will I even be able to move when I wake up? Will I ever be able to wake up?

What if I can't see Shuichi ever again? What if I'm trapped in this body forever? I felt some tears come to my eyes and I tried to hide it by hiding my face in his shoulder, but knowing Shuichi he noticed this change right away. "Kokichi?" He asked trying to move my head out of his shoulder. I didn't want to make him have to see me like this...

"What's wrong?" He asked before I tried to open my mouth...but I was unable to speak. I couldn't say anything everything seemed to fail as I moved my lips to say, guilty...but I wasn't able to get the word out and that made me cry even harder. I can't speak so he can't even understand why I am crying like this...

"It's okay, you don't have to say anything," He whispered moving down to the ground. He slowly lowered the both of us and tried to set me on the ground...but my legs were weak and wouldn't hold me up. Shuichi noticed this thankfully and moved to support my back so I wouldn't fall over.

"Sorry..." He whispered moving his hands to my lower back while the other one went around my waist. "I should have assumed that you wouldn't be able to move..." He said with a small laugh. I was still getting used to hearing Shuichi with Hess's voice...and seeing him in her body. I didn't mind much, because it's still Shuichi no matter what his gender, body type, or even voice. He is still Shuichi, and that's all that matters to me.

"Here we can take a rest for a moment," He said sitting down with me in his lap. I smiled to myself and rested against his chest. It was warm and calming to me. I felt at peace in that small moment. "So what was bothering you earlier?" He asked again looking into my tear stained eyes. I felt embarassed about him looking in my eyes when I was in a weaker state.

"Hey it's okay to cry," He cupped my cheek in his own before he moved his hands to wipe my tears away. "I love you and I'm right here for you," He smiled a bit and placed his lips on my forehead for a small moment. Making me let out a sigh of relief. It was nice to have Shuichi who is so understanding...especially when I have this condition...

I nodded my head and looked over at Shuichi. I motioned with my eyes over to the pedestals and he gave me a brief nod before he picked me up. "Okay, let's find what that bastard left here," He said bitterly. I didn't blame him for being angry...this man has messed up many things in our relationship...and even with Cathy. That damn bastard!

"Hmm." He hummed before he looked over at the pedestal in the corner. I noticed his eyes became tinted red in that moment. I felt a little fear come to me...because of the worry of him havung to go into the state I have found myself in...

"That doesn't look right..." He said moving with me over to the back corner that was the darkest place in the room. "That doesn't look like it fits..." I finally saw what he was talking about. There was a statue of a man in the corner of the room. He was crouching down and it almost looked like there was some blood dripping from the mouth. That's odd...

"So we have to destroy it?" He asked. Well yeah...that's what Syn said when we got here. Maybe she knows about this...how should we go about destroying this?

"Hello Shuichi," A voice called out. "Who the fuck-" He started before getting cut off by the statue.

"Hello Kokichi,"
