under the blue moon (1x1)

[Jump.Jump.Fall.]

Pandora's head flopped forward limply, inaudible weak mumbles escaping from her blood stained lips. She managed to drap her arms around the boy's neck, her breathing shallow. Pandora winced and then slowly began to open her eyes, but she stopped and closed them again. "Thank you..." she whispered softly to the boy; Pandora was in terrible pain and she knew that the man who had dragged her into the building would of killed her if the boy's hadn't come along.

Natsume didn't look down at her and hissed a bit. "Just be quiet and don't look at anything." He repeated and continued to walk. It seemed like days of walking, until Natsume finally reached the exit he needed. Engulfed by blinding light, Natsume stepped out from the tunnel of darkness and death to a cozy little room at the back of a shop. Natsume put Pandora on the couch and leaned against the table, grumbling a little. "He's late..." He hissed quietly, looking towards the door.

[Jump.Jump.Fall.]

Pandora gritted her teeth, pulling her legs up close to her chest. She rubbed her eyes vigorously with the back of her hand, wondering if she could open her eyes yet. "Where are we?" Pandora asked in a cracking voice, her voice weak. She placed a hand on her stomach, letting out a moan of pain.

[Mayiamaru]

"Just relax. You can open your eyes now. We're in a loft. Shikyo's going to be bringing your friend in any time now." Natsume said impatiently, tapping his foot against the ground while he waited. Death's getting too old... He's slower than me now... He thought to himself. It was getting aggrivating that he had to wait. He didn't even know why he had a nice urge now and not when his brother was being beaten. "So what's your name?" He asked, the tapping of his foot stopping immediately as he asked his question.

[Jump.Jump.Fall.]

Pandora slowly opened her eyes, looking over at Natsume. She bit into her lower lip, her bright green eyes gleaming. "What does it matter?" Pandora mumbled, closing her eyes and pulling her legs up against her chest. "I'm a dead girl anyway..." she whispered under her breath, turning her head away from Natsume.

[Mayiamaru]

Natsume rolled his eyes and cocked his head to the side like anyone would do when they were irritated. Well... anyone he knew anyway. "I just asked you name, sheesh. What's with you? That little encounter get your goat?" He asked, taking his hands from his pockets and holding them behind his head lazily as he looked at Pandora through half opened eyes.

[Jump.Jump.Fall.]

Pandora opened an eyes, pushing herself up shakily with her weak arms. "Wouldn't you be cross of someone was about to rip out your heart?" she asked in a surprisingly calm voice, tilting her head slightly. Pandora let out a sigh under her breath, placing a hand over her chest. "My name is Pandora." she stated, lifting her gaze to Natsume. "Now, can we please stop talking?... I'm tired enough as it is... And without some blood I will be as weak as a human child..." Pandora mumbled, laying back down again.

[Mayiamaru]

"Kinda seems you already are, and just for the record. I don't have a heart." Natsume said, looking at Pandora with a more menacing expression, his gleaming green eyes shining from the light. His pupils resembled that of a cat's very well, but they still had a slight human-like quality to them. Minutes after Natsume finished his sentence, Shikyo came through the door with Knight on his back, his head hanging limply against Shikyo's shoulder, up until he put him in the armchair in the corner of the room just behind the door. "He's a Daemon alright. But he's pretty badly banged up. Don't try to kill him, Black." You won't be able to anyway. Shikyo said, finishing off his statement in his mind.

Knight didn't move. His hair was damp and it was laid over his eyes, hiding them. It was raining outside and Shikyo seemed to have used Knight as some kind of umbrella somhow because Shikyo was as dry as a bone. Knight was still uncontious, his breathing shallow and his condition worsened at the moment.

[Jump.Jump.Fall.]

Pandora's eyes widened as soon the door opened, shooting up into a sitting position. She pushed herself up to her feet, but she collapsed to her knees. Pandora winced, falling flatly against her chest. She winced deeply, pain throbbing through her weakened body. Pandora pushed herself up with her arms, scrambling over to Knight's side. Fresh blood was trickling out of her open cuts, but something about her blood was odd. As soon as a drop of her blood hit the floor, they began to sizzle and burn the ground, as if it were acid. Pandora drug herself over to Knight, her legs no longer any use to her; she couldn't move any part of her boy below her hips. "Knight..." she whispered softly, her voice shattered with pain. Pandora looked back over her shoulder at the two boy's, her face twisting with torment and misery. "Is he going to be alright?..." she asked, her eyes brimming with pain.

[Mayiamaru]

Shikyo nodded a bit and walked over to Pandora. "He'll be fine. He has no wounds. It's just his time of the month. His kind get weak or strong depending on the phase of the moon. It just happens to be his weak day." He chuckled lightly, then picker Pandora up and set her down in a chair beside Knight to make her more comfortable. "Tell me, are you afraid to die, Pandora Nightingale?" Shikyo asked, looking at her kindly. Natsume was in a bad mood, so he glared out the window, the hood he kept on to hide himself... twitching.
