"Shu," I whispered but my mouth was frozen closed. Like all the air froze as I tried to speak. I looked over to Syn who was holding her arm around my waist. Her eyes were bright pink and we were walking towards what looked to be Shuichi standing over in the middle of the room. Or where I was last standing next to him.

I moved towards him with the help of Syn. She didn't say anything before she reached out for Shuichi's hand. "Come you may, but there you go," She whispered before the blue eyes in front of me disappeared as Shuichi closed his eyes. I tried to reach out for him. All the fear I was trying to keep to myself came out in that moment...because Shuichi could have gotten hurt by what Syn said, because I'm certain what she said made something happen to him...I just hope he is alright.

The room was silent once more before I heard the clatter from a body falling before another one followed shortly after. I moved to speak again to ask what the hell was going on and more importantly if Shuichi was going to be okay. But I still was mute by the unknown force pressing my lips closed and making it harder to force any air out of my mouth.

I was worried. Scared out of my wits...scared that maybe something happened to Shuichi...he wasn't saying anything...maybe Syn killed him?! No I shouldn't think like that, she probably knows better than anyone how much it would break my heart if he passed away. I mean she is connected to my heart, so I'm certain in some way she wants to keep him safe just as I do.

I just wonder what Hess could be doing on the outside...because if Shuichi was in here or is in here, then Hess should be out there right? All this was just making me more confused, and it was taking my focus off of the things going on around the three of us. I pulled myself back to focus on the situation and found that someone was walking towards us a couple feet away.

Their steps came slow and fast in the same moment. Almost as if someone was running and someone else was walking. But that would mean either Shuichi and the man were walking, or Syn and the man are walking and running...then who the hell is holding onto my hand?!

"Nmh," I groaned trying to pull my hand away before I felt their breath on my ear. My whole body froze. Is this Kurai coming to attack me again? Or the other man here in his place?

"Hey Kokichi, calm down," The voice sounded like the one Shuichi had while he was in Hess's body...but it sounded like it wasn't Shuichi speaking anymore. "Sh...ui?" I asked feeling my throat contort in pain when I spoke these words. They put their arms around my shoulder before bringing my face into their chest.

"No, Shuichi is out with your body. I'm Hess, nice to finally meet you~," He said in the same teasing tone I used with Shuichi to tease him. It felt a little weird hearing someone else use the same tone I would usually use...but I mean there isn't much you can do about the way she decides to talk. That's her choice.

"I'm...Ko...ki...chi," I whispered, feeling more coughs coming into my throat before forcing themselves out my mouth. Hess patted my back while I coughed and coughed. It hurt to the point I felt more tears coming into my eyes. God...oww...

"Nice to meetcha~," She said with a small laugh before she rubbed my back and pulled away from me. "But we need to kick that man's ass..." She whispered. I wanted to ask her how she knew him, because when Shuichi was in her body he said her name like they had met before? But sadly I can't ask her.

"I can answer your questions when you get back to your normal self okay~?" She said before moving her hands away from me. I felt nervous about being in the dark room without feeling another person close to me...but the feeling went away as soon as her hands started to glow as some flames came out of her hands. Her hair also seemed to turn into a blue flame as her eyes glowed in the dark room. It was bright and getting brighter to the point where it looked like it was already midday.

I gave her a nod before she grabbed my hand again with the hand that had a blue flame originating from it. The other hand had a pink and red flame going up her arm. She is able to control her powers very well. That makes sense since she has definitely had them longer than me and Shuichi have had our own...but that didn't stop me from being impressed.

Maybe one day Shuichi will be able to have this much self control with his powers...maybe I will be able to do the same? Who knows thought...it's impossible to know how long that would take. Knowing Shuichi adapted to this change better than I, I'm sure he is going to have an easier time getting a handle on his powers.

"Okay asshole~ why have you come back here, why? Did you not have enough last time?" Hess said as her eye went pink while the one on the blue side of her frame was still maintaining it's blue color. "Well you know~ you did leave me feeling pretty empty~," He said with a smirk, holding out the word empty.

"Oh, so having your soul and heart companion ditch you makes you feel empty? I had no idea." She said making her eyes narrow as her tone went ice cold. The other man flinched at the tone change but was back to smirking moments later. "Oh don't be mad~," He teased moving back over to her. She sighed and dropped my hand to move closer to him so their faces were inches apart.

"I'm always mad," She said before her fire went into his eye. It was like the wind made it go right through his eye. "AHH!" He yelled, falling back as his hand went to cover his eye. "Syn?" Hess called out making my focus move away from the man suffering on the floor.

"I don't like the way he was treating you," Syn said with a small pink tint coming to her cheeks. "And just where have you been?" Hess asked with a smile as she walked over to the other woman. Syn smiled at her and moved to embrace her. They hugged and a burst of energy came over the both of us as they did. It hurt my chest and sent burning sensations throughout my hands almost making me cry out in pain.

"Sorry, I forgot that's forbidden," She said with a sad gaze as she moved away from Syn. Syn shared the same look. "Yeah," She said looking back over to the man who was now rolling on the ground with blood coming out of his eye.

"Bitch! You had to take out my-" He started before Syn came over to him pulling him up by his shirt collar. "Don't," She said before she placed her hands on his shoulders. For a moment nothing happened and the man smirked. "You didn't do anything you dumb-"

In that moment the man gasped and soon crumbled to the ground like the stone that was covering him earlier. I felt all my senses come back to me as I could move my hands again. I could move my legs again! I could walk, and I could talk! "We did it!" I exclaimed, feeling tears coming down my cheeks. Now I can return to Shuichi.

"Yeah we did," Hess said with a smile looking over at Syn who blushed and turned her head away. I definitely need to ask Syn about their relationship.

"I'm so glad I get to be back in my body again, be with Shuichi again," I whispered moving my hands over my chest. Hess smiled at me before Syn smiled as well. "Best of luck to you on the other side," They both said before it all went black once more.
