~Lucy's Turn~

After the whole fiasco at home, Kouta had decided to get groceries. Nyuu agreed to rest and wait until she felt well to get up, but she was too frightened to close her eyes for very long. In case Lucy decided to appear once again.

Light coat of sweat covered her forehead as the light poured in from the window in Kouta's room. What was she going to do?

She couldn't sleep and even when she was awake Lucy appeared.

She shut her eyes, tears stinging the corner of them,"Why, Lucy?"

"Its your fault."

Her eyes shot open and she quickly sat up, holding the blanket tight to her chest.

"No. No! No! No!"

A terrifying panic filled her and all of a sudden, she felt herself go blind, then her lungs stopped pumping air, but she didn't struggle. It felt like she was going to sleep and was finally free. She embraced the feeling and let go.

In Reality

Nyuu's form shook and shuddered, a chilling growl erupted from the girl as her eyes rolled back in her head. Then, everything was calm. Nyuu's hands dropped, limp, in her lap and her head slumped forward.

Slowly, her hand twitched. Moving and curling its fingers in a spider-like motion.

Then, her head moved, balancing smoothly on her neck. Finally, she opened her eyes and a purr escaped her lips,"Ooh, Nyuu. What a lovely home you're staying in."

The new inhabitant stretched her muscles, almost like a cat. Then, with a lustful slowness, she rose to her feet. "Its been too long since I've taken over... you were in need of a rest anyway."

Gingerly, she put one foot in front of the other, testing her rusty motor skills. With a sneer she broke into a rhythmic walk, making her way into the kitchen.

As soon as she exited the hallway, her eyes flitted towards all the sharp and metallic objects. She licked her lips, seeing the abandoned knife and fish on the counter. A type of amusement flitted across her face as she made her way over, a light spring in her step.

"Oh, Nyuu, Nyuu, Nyuu." without hesitance, she picked the knife up into her hands,"You've become too fond of these humans... you've had many the opportunity to kill them all, but of course..." she ran her thumb down the edge of the blade, a chill running down her spine,"I have to take matters into my own hands..."

She carefully aimed the knife, then, with a blinding quickness, she slammed it on the chopping block, slicing off the fish's head with a clean slice. A little blood coated it and some splatter speckled her hand. She released the knife, and with a curiousness, studied the blood splatter on her hand.

How strange it was that some people feared blood, the very thing keeping them alive. A hateful gaze filled her eyes, maybe they assumed that seeing their life source outside of their bodies meant death. How stupid and cruel humans were.

Her gaze quickly flitted to the slide door, separating the living room from the kitchen. A silhouette filled the thin film separating them. "K-Kouta..." she said, memories of when they were younger flitting through her mind. She took a step toward it. The shadow paused, she guessed studying her through the door.

Suddenly, she had the urge to kill him. She could feel her 'arms' make their way to the door. She couldn't remember why though. Why did she want to kill Kouta?

The she heard a femal voice from farther off,"Kouta! Wait up!"

Her eyes widened. That's why. He lied to her.

She narrowed her eyes at the door, glaring as if he could feel it. "Kouta..."

With a shaking hand, she reached out and gripped the handle of the door, slowly sliding the it open.

Kouta met her eyes with a worried gaze,"Nyuu..." he reached out and put a hand to her forehead,"Are you feeling better?"

Lucy took a slow blink, then she felt tears sting the corners of her eyes. Suddenly, she reached out and pressed into him, he stiffened, but relaxed and wrapped his arms around her, in a light embrace. He rested his chin on her head,"I guess that's a yes..."

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." she muttered pressing her face into his chest. He wouldn't understand, but maybe he could find it in himself to forgive her for what she had done so long ago.

Kouta released her for a brief moment, taking her chin in his hands and making her look at him,"You didn't do anything wrong, Nyuu... why apologize for nothing?"

Lucy blinked. He didn't remember. With an ache in her chest, she slowly faded back into the darkness of her sub-conscious, pulling the girl Kouta remembered back. He didn't remember. He didn't...

Nyuu, fluttering her eyes as if she had awoken from a peaceful sleep, yawned loudly and pulled away from Kouta, stretching her muscles,"Welcome back, Kouta..."

The boy blinked as he stared in wonderment at the girl. Talk about being bipolar...
