Welcome to Gaia! ::

((First time in ages...))

Upon arriving at the unused medical dojo, the tram which kept Reeve and Tutsumi would stop. They would be close to the Main dojo, should Reeve decide to leave.

Tutsumi looked up, hazily, towards Reeve as he mouthed something similar to, "Thanks, brother", and then hung his head as he tried to catch his breath. He thirsted for alcohol, but knew he shouldn't in his state and much less the old promise. As he was though, he was still on the brink of death due to how badly his mental state was and what that meant for his body.

Ishira walked off the tram, looking down at her wounds. Maybe Reeve was right, maybe they werent that bad..... But they looked bad... And though Reeve said he hadnt smelled anything, Ishira could. Soap and water, soap and water... She chanted it in her mind as she entered the building. Maybe by some miracle she wouldnt run into Tutsumi..... She sighed, her eyes narrowing slightly. She needed to change, she knew that.... Maybe there would be something in the building.... Ishira continued to walk until she smelled blood... He didnt... Her eyes were wide and she started to shake. She couldnt will her legs forward.

Ishira swallowed the ball in her throat and turned the corner, into the room. Her eyes squinted in the dark, even though she could see everything in the room as clear as day. She looked away from where she knew he was, and took a deep breath. She didnt even give herself a second to see him, and instead turned on the lights, her head down as she made sure to keep her thoughts straight and face blank. She went to the cabinets, opening a few until she found a few clean hand towels. She looked into the empty spot they had been. What should she do now... He was right there, and she had to go to the sink, which was on the other side of the room, close to him. She could hear the beating of his heart, and his breathing. He was alive.... Which made her wonder why he hadnt spoken to her. Her eyes drifted to the towels in her hands, he was still mad.... Its not like she hadnt expected that....

After a few moments, she closed her eyes and turned to face him. Again he hadnt said anything, and his heart beat hadnt quickened.... His breathing stayed the same.... Ishira slowly opened her eyes to the horror in front of her. Tut was covered in old blook and had all kinds of things hooked to him. She went from nervous, to a panic in less time then it took to blink an eye. Dropping the towels, she ran to the side of his bed.
"Oh god Tut, what did you do.." She whispered, her shaking hand hovering over his body, tempting to touch him as she scanned his body to figure out what he had done. As she searched she didnt notice that her necklace, the ring dangling lightly from it, had slipped from under her dress and was now hanging visibly around her neck.

Ishira held back a cry as he coughed up some more blood. She pulled her hand back quickly as he woke, not liking that he had woken up. This was going to be a bit more then hard to explain... She held back the saddness she felt and looked at him for a few more seconds. He seemed well, since he was now moving.... She turned to the side, trying to avoid direct eye contact and even considered leaving... But her arm throbbed in pain. She probably shouldnt have used that energy.... It may have been the reason Tutsumi had woken up.

Ishira didnt respond to Tut, instead, she acted like she had done nothing and went back to the towels. She kneeled down, picking them up with her shaken hands. Her eyes drifted to something shining.. Her ring!

"Ah!" Ishira again dropped the towels and grabbed the ring with both hands. When had it popped out. She felt a shutter go through her body. Had Tut noticed?

Ishira spun away, tucking the necklace with their ring, away and close to her breast. She tried hard to look cold, but she knew the concern would show through. He shouldnt have gotten out of bed... He shouldnt look like this... No it hurt her to see him like this, it caused her heart to ache.... She didnt want to lie when he looked at her like that, and with his arms extended, the hope in her heart grew. She wanted to be there next to him... She wanted in his arms.. But she couldnt. She snapped herself back to neutral feelings. Neko was watching. Neko could see what this was doing to her.
"Tut, things have changed... Your just going to have to accept that... Please, lets get you back in the bed..." Her voice was shaking as she clutched the edge of her dress. She tried hard not to run. "I need this, and so do you..."

Ishira noticed which wrist he grabbed and went to pull it away but stopped. It would throw him off.... She would end up hurting him. She nervously looked at her pendant as she helped him up.
"Tut could you shift your hand... Its on my mothers pendant, and your covered in blood..." She tried to getting him to move it by shifting moving him to the other side of her. She stopped when he was facing her, looking at him in silent acknowledgement. It was like he had said something, but it hadnt been heard. She understood though... "Dont do that again..." She said before swinging him to her other side and then lifting him.

As Tut laid back on the bed she rubbed her wrist. The Pendant had be hot, and rubbed her skin to the point of raw. Why did he have to always grab her so hard? She sighed, looking at him as he messed with the needles, turning away as he went to put them back in. She looked to the ceiling, talking deep breaths. Gods, she hated needles.
"My arms were injured in battle... When my shadows were ripped from my body. Just before you showed up.... They got into my wounds a bit... Took some of my blood before i was able to stop them... " She looked at her arms, the were still throbbing. "Its caused a slight infection, i just need some soap and warm water."
