Sick

[Akkii]

"There's a legend," Akito said. "If somebody were to create 1000 paper cranes then there is a wish to be made."

As she spoke, she was folding. Crease, then unfold, crease again, then unfold. Flip it over. Crease, unfold, crease unfold. After a few minutes of silence she was holding a perfect, delicate white crane.

Hatori smiled as Akito quoted what he had said, back when she was only eight. She handed Devon a piece of paper and put her hands on his. "I'll guide you through making this one."

[Platinum]

Devon nodded and let Akito guide him.

[Akkii]

Akito moved his fingers slowly, ignoring their icyness. She showed him each step. Soon they had made a nearly perfect crane.

[Platinum]

Devon watched as Akito guided his ice hold fingers. He was pretty sure that he could make a crane now.

[Akkii]

Hatori stood up and left, he stood in the doorway for a few seconds more as he watched the two, then shut the door behind him.

Akito hadn't even realized Hatori had left until she turned to say something to him.

"When I was younger I gave up on that legend..." Akito whispered. "At first I was excited. And I thought about wishing my father back. And then decided I wouldn't do that, and wondered if I should wish that the bonds that connect me to my family would never break. But then I realized that one of them may wish to leave me, and start making 1000 cranes too... So I stopped making them..." She was staring down at her white crane the entire time she had spoken.

[Platinum]

Devon looked down at his crane.
"f I could wish for something...I would wish that I could live a normal life, then die." He said. "But someone could just wish me back. Or turn me into a vampire again." He said.

[Akkii]

"I don't know. I think there may be rules to this wishing... maybe you can't wish people back. But when Hatori had shown me how to make those cranes, it was all too easy to imagine my father's hands where his were. And it made me long for his prescence... I really don't think you can wish somebody back from the dead... And after he died, all I ever had were those bonds. Without those bonds I was nothing. I /need/ them. So I thought about wishing for that instead, until the thought of any of them seeing and then trying it themselves and wishing to leave my side came to mind... You know, I've forgotten how calm it is to make these cranes." The quietest laugh left Akito's mouth.

[Platinum]

Devon smiled. "Then I couldn't wish myself back human. I'm dead." He said, grateful Hatori was gone so he could freely talk about what he was.

((Wouldn't it be cool if Hatori heard that? ^^))

[Akkii]

((Yah. Should he? xD He's like a dad eavesdropping on his daughter and her boyfriend. LOL In some fanfictions it says that he's a lot like a dad to Aki.))

"I'm sure the gods... or God... could find an exception for you." Akito grinned.

"Besides, at the same time, aren't you sort of alive? Ahaha. If you were entirely dead you wouldn't be in here."

[Platinum]

((I don't know, he's your char XD))

Devon grinned. "I guess your right." He said. "But still, no heartbeat, meaning I'm dead." He said, holding her hand to where his heart would of been.

[Akkii]

((Okay, but I'm not going to post his reaction. But he's found out. LOL Devon should hear Haa-san's footsteps as he walks away from the door though, and realize he had been listening.))

One subject kept nagging at Akito in her mind. "Devon..." She said slowly. "We're you already dying before you were transformed... or did someone merely transform you?" She asked.

[Platinum]

Devon heard footsteps walk away from the door. But he ignored it, hoping that Hatori didn't hear anything.
"I can't quiet remember." He said, looking back at his memories.
"I was sent out to do something, I forgot what...it was getting dark out side, and then something attacked me." He said, you culd tell he was struggling to remember the exact memory.
"I think that's when I turned." He said.

((Oooh, Hatori should go to the Cullen residence and when he gets there, Kohana opens the door and he should notice he eye color has changed ^^))

[Akkii]

((Kk!))

Akito nodded. She reached for another piece of paper. This time she folded it differently. Soon she had a paper flower. "Origami, it's always calming. Sometimes I'd just do origami when I was alone. It gave me something to do, kept me busy and kept my mind off the sickness." She went on to reach for another paper. "Making paper flowers is even easier than making a paper crane."

[Platinum]

"Show me." Devon smiled.

[Akkii]

Akito smiled back. The paper she held in her hands was gold. She handed it to Devon and put her hand on his. "Oh, to make it even easier..." She got up and walked over to a drawer. She came back with a rubber band. Then she moved Devon's hands so he was folding the paper. Then she put the rubber band on it. She showed him how to spread it out and make it appear to be a flower. "Shigure showed me how to make these when I was a kid..."

[Platinum]

Devon looked at the flower he had created.
"You card about him alot when you were a kid...didn't you?" He asked.

[Akkii]

"Yes..." Akito sighed.

(I shall bring Kureno in.)

There was a single knock at the door.
"Come in, Kureno." Akito called.

A red haired man stepped in. "Ah... Akito-san, I think I left my watch here the other night..."

"Yes, you left it in the kitchen." Akito said.

"Thank you, Akito-san." Kureno said politely. He went and got his watch and then came back.

"Kureno, get me some more tea. You saw the kettle on the stove, right? Oh, and get yourself some tea as well."

Kureno nodded. "Yes, Akito-san." He turned to Devon. "Would you like some?" He asked politely.

"No," Akito answered for Devon. "Oh, Kureno, this is Devon. Devon, this is Kureno."

Kureno nodded in greeting. "Nice to meet you." Then he went back to the kitchen to get him and Akito some tea.

[Platinum]

Devon nodded as well. He was slightly annoyed that Akito answered for him, he could answer for himself, but the feeling was gone as quickly as it came. He watched as Kureno left to the kitchen to get the tea.
"He was over last night?" Devon raised a blonde eyebrow when questioning Akito.

[Akkii]

Akito smirked. "Why yes. Akito visits frequently."

Kureno walked in with two cups of tea. "Here you go, Akito-san." Kureno handed a cup to Akito, sitting on the couch next to her. So now she was in the middle of the two. She took a sip.

[Platinum]

Devon watched silently as he sat down.
