Shinja's back was turned to Maki. Underneath the large collar of his coat, he smiled. "I'd say...Maki's starting to feel better already." He let out a muffled laugh. Though still in dream form, Shinja took out his bottle of liquor and took a gulp of it.

Maki opened her eyes her lips began turning blue as the tainted blood was still seeping through her wound. She looked up and saw the worried look on Shinja's face then the throbbing began again.
"OOooh," she moaned trying to bare the pain. "Ow... I feel so cold."
As she turned her head to see where Shinja was taking her she passes out again.

Walking towards the castle with Shinja by his side, he looked around trying to plan a fast route
"Yeah, Im fairly familiar with this place. If people get in my way, Ill blast our way to the medical wing. Just follow me and we will get Maki some help"
Entering the city Zetsuei found a uncrowded path to castle

Maki held Greed's sword tight as she straightened her body like a spear and went head first into the creature's throat. "Hi YAAAAH!" she shouted but suddenly everything went black again. She was alone once more in the darkness and it was ice cold suddenly. "Brrrrrr! What happened?" She felt Greed's sword was still in her hand and provided some warmth but it was chilling fast and soon she found herself tired. "It's so cold," she moaned as her sides throbbed sending her onto the ground again.

"You need to finish it, Maki."
From the darkness came a child of about five or six years old. His skin was slightly pale and he had jet-black hair with a single, thin streak of grey in his bangs. "If you don't...you'll die in here before you die out there." He suddenly pointed to his side, where an image of Maki in Shinja's arms appeared and disappeared.
"Keep fighting."
Shinja sighed as he ran along the path with Zetsuei. She's slipping...and my dream form limit is almost up...She has to battle whatever it is in her mind that is afflicting her with so much pain...If not...I fear that her mind will die long before her body does. Shinja kept running straight, causing anyone in the way to quickly step to the side, some of them cursing at him as he passed.

Maki looked at the small child and smiled as she sat up.
"I know, but its kind of hard to concentrate with the pain in my side hurting more and more," she moaned and then hugged her waist to keep warm. "I wish I had my herb pouch with me. Some Noki grass will keep me warm despite its nasty taste. But I'd rather have a nasty taste in my mouth than freeze to death."
Maki watched Shinja carry her through a city.
"Where are we now? Are you my spirit guide?" she asked but then something in her soul recognizes the child. "Do I know you? Is that you Siris? Are you also dying? Please say it's not true..."
Without thinking she grabbed and hugged the child and kissed him on the cheek.
"You must be freezing too, I can share my warmth with you if you're freezing too," she said hugging the child. "What little I have."

Kisaragi stopped sniffing the human and sat back...
"...I'm from the out skirts, i wonder much in to the city but i was bored so decided to enter. Orignally i was looking for wood but there was no luck...orices to high for a wolf like me..."
Kisaragi looked up at the sun...
"...Hmm think i should be getting back now but before i go...I have to ask, what is your reasoning to why you are here? do you come here often?..."

"The outskirts eh? How far out I havent seen any other settlements. Wood you say did you try the local lumber Yard or the one a mile or two out I hear they are cheaper. Here..."
Kyana pulled out a bag from her side and tok out some coins holding them out to the creature as she had no idea where it kept its money she waited for him to take it. However it did that.
"Go on take it you can buy your wood with this and as for why I am here I had hoped that an old freind of mine would have come back for the festival but he obviously didn't"

Maki was slowly slipping away with each drop of blood pouring from her sides. The blood stained the ground a dark blackish red making a trail of drops that followed Shinja. Her body starting to tremble from being cold.

The young boy smiled, looking at Maki after she kissed him. Suddenly, the boy turned his head to look over Maki's shoulder. Walking from the darkness came a teenager with long, black hair with many streaks of silver coming from his bangs. As he walked out of the darkness, it was visible that he was holding hands with someone -- a woman.
Her skin was lightly tanned, her hair long and black. She wore a collection of silver bracelets around her wrists and ankles. Though she was wearing nothing but a white sheet around her waist and another, smaller, white sheet around her upper chest, she did not appear cold at all. The boy, however, was dressed heavily, wearing a thick, red, hooded cloak. He turned his head and looked at the boy in Maki's arms, their eyes catching each others' gaze before they turned their heads downward as if saddened. The teenage girl smiled and placed her hand on her partner's cheek, who immediately brightened up. The two then continued walking, disappearing in the darkness. Before they left, the boy threw a small, red orb to the boy, who picked it up without hesitation.
Shinja fell to the ground, his eyes wide as if in great pain.
"Zetsuei..."
His eyes suddenly closed as he fell to the ground, unconscious.
"What's happening?!" Shinja was on the ground in an almost completely blackened room. He quickly stood up and reached for his sword, which was no longer on his back. "What the...?" He looked around before finally spotting a small hole in the wall. Shinja slowly walked over to it and peered into it, seeing Maki embracing a boy. "That's...me."
Shinja was shocked to discover that he had no voice. The room he was in seemed to be muted. He pounded on the wall, trying to get Maki's attention, but no noise emitted from it. He continued to peer inside of the hole, spotting something even more disturbing -- a much younger Shinja walking with a girl. "No...this can't be...the spell I used must be backfiring...dammit." Suddenly, from behind Shinja, a man about his age tapped him on the shoulder. Shinja's eyes widened. The man peered into his eyes, making a psychic connection with Shinja's mind as he spoke to him.
"Good to see you again, brother. You should've known that it would be impossible to hide from me forever." The man pointed to Maki. "Don't try busting through the wall...it's impossible. And even if you could, they can't see you. After all...this isn't your dream, nor is it hers. In fact, this isn't even a dream at all. This is something that even I can't begin to understand." The man smirked. "However, I seem to be able to enter this...otherworld, if you will. At least, from your mind."
The man patted Shinja on the shoulder. "Anyways, the spell I used to enter this place has a time limit, and i've almost used it all up. I wouldn't want to die before I could kill you..." He laughed. "...again. Until then...I think your friend should know what I did to you...since you failed to explain it all to her." With that, the man disappeared, leaving Shinja to watch the horrors of his past along with Maki.

Hearing his name, Zetusie stopped to see Shinja fall on the ground and slip into an unconcsious state. He rushed back to Shinja who was carring Maki.
"This isnt good, Shinja's potion isnt working for him any more. Looks like I have no choice but to carry them both to the hospital wing.'
Picking Shinja and Maki up he placed them one of each of his shoulder and ran towards the Hospital.

Running inside the hospital Zetsuei slammed his hand down ont he counter and a nurse came rushing to the counter and without a word motioned him to a exam room. Rushing into the exam room, Zetsuei set Shinja down on one of the two beds and set Maki down on the others and began upwrapping the sheet from around her body.
"The woman suffers from a wound she had gotten in the battle a year ago from the Dark One and it wont go away and is giving her trouble now more then ever. As you can see the wound is bleeding but its looks blackened. The man suffers form the same aliment but has suppressed it with a potion but it is no longer working. Can you help them or do anything?"
Zetsuei was worrying very badly for his two friends.

Maki heard the child gasp and felt him move to pick something up. She released the boy and tried to smile to hide her pain. "What's that? An Orb?" she asked sitting down and pulling the child into her lap. The feeling was familiar as if she was once a mother but can't remember anything about her past aside from the dragon dreams and caravan. "For some strange reason holding you has made me feel as if I had been a mother once or maybe I want to be a mother someday." Maki watched the child examining the Orb. "You look a bit like Shinja," she said hugging the child's waist as she held him close to her. "You'll like Shinja alot like I do. Somehow I feel connected to him in a way. I can't explain why or know why I'm telling you all this, I wonder if reincarnation is even possible." Maki sat watching the child and thought to herself. She doesn't even know why she could trust the boy with her feelings.
