Scooter: This is in Jirou-kun's POV and I want to know if you like it. :-) My first BBB and I need some input! Like or hate? Oh, and this is based sorely on Jirou-kun's thoughts. Hee! Enjoy!

I tried to look into her face. Oh how hard I tried, but my eyelids just refused to open. I could hear her; how sad she was.

'Don't cry,' I tried to say, but my lips would not move.

Something wet trailed down my cheek. Blood? Water? Tears? Which of the three was it? I tried, and finally managed to pry my eyelids open. Barely. It indeed was tears. They cascaded down her pale face from her crystaline blue eyes and I weakly managed to open my mouth and partially utter her name. Her beautiful name.

"A . . . Ali . . . ce?" A wet sticky substance was on my forehead, face, arms, and legs. All over.

She began to talk but I barely understood her words coming out of her mouth. She leaned down close to my bloodied face and I saw -- barely -- but I saw fangs come from her mouth, and she bit down upon her bottom lip, and a thin trail of blood began to leak from between her lips. She leaned in closer and said to me: "I'm sorry . . . I'm sorry, Jirou. Forgive me for loving you,"

Her sapphire eyes closed as she kissed me ever so gently, the blood from her cut lip trickling down my throat, and I instinctivly swallowed the red metallic substance. What then happened was almost instantaneous.

My right hand jerked and tried to clutch at the cement ground and I could feel my eyes widen as a fiery pain shot through my body.

My vision -- all ready so blurry -- began to blur even more and I began to lose Alice's beautiful face. I was in an inner turmoil. Half of me welcomed the approaching darkness, whilst the other half, wished to continue gazing at her perfect features.

A blinding white light erupted into my line of sight, blinding me. I saw the night sky, so full of stars that it looked like a dark blue ocean that carried jewels on its surface. The white clouds like foam on the water's surface. The light again. I saw the full moon. Odd. My name, Jirou, means full moon. I could hear a pounding. Was it in my ears? Or my head? Where was it coming from? The light again. The orange, yellow, and red sunset. Like the color of dried blood amidst a pool of yellow and orange light hiding behind many clouds. The light again. A river, with sparkles that made me wonder for a split second that if I could move my hand, I could pull up countless jewels from its depths. The light again. The ocean. Angry waves crashing upon one another over and over again. The sun is hidden by the angry black clouds. The roaring was tremendous and a tremendous wave erupted and headed right towards me. It crashed down upon me and then . . . The light.

I was forced back into my own body, and was aware of excruciating pain. I cried out at the force of it, and I could feel my back beginning to arch upwards. Something was in my mouth; pushing in my mouth. Teeth? Yes; fangs began to grow from my canines, and I began to choke and cry out.

Who is torturing me?! I yell within my mind, for that is what I think is happening to me: that I have died and gone to Hell.

The tie that held my hair snapped and my black hair flew out. It was spread out like a sea of black water. The pounding increased as did my pain and I cried out a final time.

The light -- the torturous light -- faded and I saw her again. Alice. Unshed tears were in her sapphire orbs and they held love and worry. A frown creased her brow as well as her perfect lips. She spoke my name.

"Jirou?"

Though I do not know where the strength came from, I shifted my head ever so slightly so I could get a better look at her. My mouth opened slightly more easier.

"Al . . . ice?"

She leaned forward slightly, "What is it, Jirou?"

Another surge of pain shot through my limbs and I shook with the agony ravaging my broken body. "It hurts," I managed. "I feel like dying," I clenched my eyes shut and slightly turned my head, attempting to ease the pain.

I could clearly hear her intake of breath, but . . . it sounded joyful. Why? What happened to me? Wasn't I dying?

She reached down and hugged me on my right side for my left arm was slashed and laying in a pool of blood. Still, though she was careful, I let out a small moan of pain.

"It hurts, Alice," I said again, my voice still small. "Wh-what's going on?"

Casa just shook her head and looked down at the wolfie Cain, who looked back at her.
