The closeness surprised Kikue, as it almost always did -- all of the times when Nita had freely hugged her, Kikue had been taken aback for just the briefest of seconds. Now she was again...except even more so than she had been before.

Turning her head, she could see him crying. Suddenly, her own tears felt silly. She was, at the very least, glad that he was not too afraid to come back over. But she had to slow her own emotions, her ears moving. "Her'y..." she said, turning her changed face to him. "It'sss okay." She forced a tearful smile. She couldn't tell if it was fear of her that was creating all the tears. Her whole body ached, but it dawned on her what it must be like...to only watch.

Like so long ago...to watch, and know it was coming. For you. And that it was all real...

Her expression crumpled. 'It's okay' sounded as hollow now as it had when she had said it to Nita on Halloween night... Frowning sadly, Kikue's eyes fell against her fur. What a mess all of this was.

Slowly the tears stopped, he slowly let go of the younger girl getting up slowly. True the words seemed hollow but the fact that some one at least tried to soften the pain of being here made it worth at least something.

He sat on the bed massaging his forehead slowly and drying his eyes at the same time, his headache coming back now. "I can... I can go home if you want it was a mistake I'm sorry I shouldn't be here..." he mumbled quietly.

Kikue watched him, her ears drooping. She stood up carefully, wobbling a little on her newly-formed feet. They felt large and strange. She crossed her paws over each other, looking at him on the bed and feeling only pity for him. She felt so badly, knowing that she had to have felt the same way before...so long ago...

She turned around, her back to him for a few seconds. Moving slowly, she went to her closet, opening the door. Inside clothes hung on hangers, neatly pressed. Kikue shoved the hangers around with her aching paw, pulling a garment off of one and going back up to the boy. She held out the clothing to him. "This is a girl's yukata, but I don't think it will matter." She pulled it open and draped it over his shoulders, hoping that at least that would make up for something.

But she couldn't stay on her feet. The pain was still pounding in them. She sat down on the bed, very slowly, trying to be careful. It didn't matter...everything hurt. Her tail instinctively moved, and the pain shot up it and into her spine. She gripped the blankets with her claws, clenching her teeth, like she had just tried to sink into a bath that was much too hot. Anything was better than standing.

Miller sat quietly awaiting her choice to kick him out, he felt akward sitting near naked like this in her presence after everything had passed, his headache only made him more uncomfortable.

He looked up as she draped the yukata over his shoulders, he tugged it closer around him self nodding quietly, "Bettern then wandering around in your boxers..." He watched her as she clawed at the bed and frowned, "I think... I might have some painkillers left in my duplex... 77, I'm not much bigger then you so one pill should help..." he paused not sure what to say, help with your new massive claws? Your tail? Ears? Face? Would anything even really help?

Kikue forced a smile. "It's okay," she said, her voice still a little garbled but already sounding more clear. "It'll go away over the next few days...I don't usually...take medicine..." She was able to ease herself fully into a sitting position on the bed, putting her paws on her knees. She gave the boy a sympathetic look. "Sorry...about...this whole thing..."

It was like some kind of joke. She had felt off all day... Last night...or yesterday. Somehow. They must have injected me...

Kikue realized she hadn't even introduced herself yet. "...My name is Kikue," she said. Duplex 77? He's new...gods how many people are on this Island?

Miller nodded quietly, "Alright... I suapose I should just save those pills for latter..." he didn't even want to think of later all that much. "No don't be it's all my fault, if I wasn't a complete idiot and hadn't gone to that stupid beach party and drank like that I would have never stumbled around here like an idiot."

He slipped a hand out of the yukata holding it out to Kikue, "Miller Milano." he said with a small smile, "I'm sorry I er... tried to enter your duplex... I must have miss counted which one I was at."

Kikue broke into a genuine smile. She held out a large paw, taking Miller's hand and shaking it.

"It's all right...I thought you might be Nita...I've been in here for days..." Her expression dropped, but she forced her ears to p***k back up. "Beach party?" she asked. She didn't even know what day it was. Had it happened before or after Halloween...? Everything seemed tied to that fateful day.

She tried not to let the pain get to her too much. It was hard to ignore, but she tried.

Miller couldn't help but think of shakeing a dogs paw right now, however it was far from it. This hand was actually a girls hand now turned in to a paw that easily seemed to dwarf his own hand.

"Oh god Nita, she was THERE." He fell back on the bed moaning, "God please let her not have looked!" He thumped his head twice before continueing on to explain the party, the whole incident with him being drunk and taking the foolish dare from Oz that would ultimatly lead to where he was now.

"I can't believe I even did that..." he massaged his forehead gently.

Kikue's ear flicked back up immediately. "Nita...? She was there?" Her eyes widened. "...Was she all right?" It had taken place after Halloween, hadn't it? Kikue felt a pang of guilt and worry. I haven't been okay...but I... Halloween was so fresh in her mind. She had been sitting on the floor in her bathroom, crying on and off all these days since that time. Eating there. Sleeping there. She couldn't even think.

But she couldn't help a smile when she heard about Miller's dare. She didn't know everyone he was talking about, but at least it sounded like fun...somehow... "I...can't believe I jumped on top of you like that," Kikue said, offering her own bit of insanity up for grabs. Okay...maybe I can believe it...after the mess hall I wil believe just about anything...

Milled nodded, "Yah she was fine minus the whole people learning she was ah gay... poor horse man seemed pretty upset about that." He tilted his head noticeing she seemed worried again.

"I honestly can't either but then again I just watched your face turn in to a muzzle and fur take the place of flesh soooo I kinda think I have to belive it." He shifted slightly feeling out of place still, normal among people who where far from it by now.

Kikue's eyes about bugged out of her new skull. "She's...what?" It wasn't something that would strike her as necessarily wrong, but she hadn't thought it at all up until right now. Nita? Liked...girls?

Kikue blinked a few times, doing it so hard it was almost like she had something in her eye.

Well that had certainly been...unexpected...

'Poor horse man seemed pretty upset about that'? Then that man at Halloween...?

...Liked Nita?

Kikue resisted the urge to bury her face in her paws and groan. When it came to this kind of thing, she never noticed anything.

In response to Miller's last comment, Kikue could only flick her ears. Her face was too busy being buried. It didn't matter all that much to find something like this out, but Kikue felt like she should have noticed somehow. Gah...

Miller's eyes also went wide, "You didn't know!? Oh crap please please don't let her know that I told you! I think she already hates me enough for tugging on her cheek fur when we first met."

He frowned as she seemed to hide her face in her hands, no not hands paws, that would never fit right. He leaned over squeezing her shoulder gently with a sigh, "You're okay right? I know it's not something you learn every day but, she's still Nita right? Not like she's gona be any different?"

Kikue blinked. Smiling she tilted her head a little. "Oh course she'll still be her...I just didn't pick up on it, that makes me feel badly. I don't notice those things as easily as I should." She sighed, letting her head drop a little. It didn't make her uncomfortable, this new information -- it wasn't like she hadn't been exposed to it before. Not noticing was what felt wrong.

She put a paw on her sore, new muzzle, rubbing the top gingerly. It felt strange. "I should check on Nita, soon...to see if she is all right... I haven't been feeling like seeing anyone, though. After Halloween." She gave Miller a sideways glance, her ears laying back against her fur again. Had he been there for that?

"...Have you been here very long? I can see you haven't changed..."
PostPosted: Fri Nov 10, 2006 12:31 pm


Miller shrugged, "She doesn't make it obvious really so you shouldn't feel bad unless she was trying to drop hints or something. Allot of people were surprised to learn about it that night."

He shivered slightly at the mention of the Halloween party, "I don't blame you for not wanting too... I had almost nobody there... I had only just met Thom and ended up walking on the path with F, after that I just kinda stumbled off alone and scared to death."

He looked up sadly then back to his still human hands, "Almost a week now..." he whispered quietly, Angelina hadn't looked too changed, but Ambrose was already deeply in to the change as far as Miller could tell. It was doomed to happen sometime though.

Kikue didn't recognize the names "Thom" or "F," but she didn't need to know to understand what Miller was talking about. Immediately she felt guilty, wishing that he hadn't seen of it. It was bad enough to see it herself...but he had only just gotten here; what were the labs thinking? What are they trying to do? Is it all part of some experiment?

Kikue shuddered, remembering the haunting images that still refused to leave her brain. "...It was...horrible. I found Nita in the middle of it...but she broken down... I ran off on my own just to get away from it." She twitched her whiskers instinctively. "I wish you hadn't seen it..." On second thought, I wish I hadn't seen it either...

She was quiet as she watched the boy look at his hands. Still human. "...Do you know what your serum is?" she asked quietly.
