Sealed with a Kiss

<Kioku>	"So..." Akemi says, breaking her hug with Wendy in their room.  "Ready to find out what FonyX had to say?"
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy takes a deep breath, looking to the ground and mumbling "Do you think.. you can read it first by yourself? And if you really think I need to read it I will.. I just don't want to read him ranting at me about something crazy." she half laughs, but you can tell shes serious.

<Kioku>	Akemi headbumps Wendy's shoulder.  "Of course."  And then the odd thing... she takes out a pair of gloves and a medical filtration mask and puts them on, stepping all the way across the room away from Wendy.

<SavanahHolland>	Wendy blinks her eyes at Akemi slowly, has no idea what she's doing, then it comes to her, Phony is scum, so he would probably do something this scummy, though she now worries for Akemi "Do you want me to do it instead?" she bites her lip "I don't want you to get hurt if he actually put something in there.."
<Kioku>	Akemi shakes her head.  "Just habit.  Always wear gloves when opening letters since something in one burned me a year or two ago."
<Kioku>	She opens the letter and reads.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy takes a sharp breath in hearing that "I wish I could have been around you then.." she then lets Akemi read the note.
<Kioku>	Akemi's eyes flick over the paper long enough to read the whole thing twice, then she glances up.  "It's an apology.  He was hallucinating.  He thinks everything besides Milton being at the school was true, namely Lilith hearing voices and something being in the woods.  He wants to know how he can show his remorse."
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy bites her lip, taking a small breath and ploping herself on the bed, staring up at the ceiling, her pigtails now strewn along the sides of her head, her face unsure exactly what to do, she lets out a accompanying sigh.
<Kioku>	Akemi re-folds the note and sets it down, then takes off her mask and gloves and sits next to Wendy.
<Kioku>	"Do you want to talk to Lilith about this, at least?"
<Kioku>	"See what she thinks?"
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy closes her eyes and nods "Yeah.. Asking her might help at least.. "
<Kioku>	Akemi rubs Wendy's back.  "Alright.  Whenever you're ready, we'll look for her."
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy opens her eyes, then lean over to look at Lilith "We can go now.. if you want? I just want to get this resolved soon.. I can't just be scared of him forever.."
<Kioku>	Akemi takes Wendy's hand in her own with the hand that isn't busy rubbing her back.  "Okay," she replies with a soft, warm smile.  "Let's go."  She pulls Wendy up and leads her out the door, down the hall to check on Lilith's room before searching for her elsewhere.
<FullMetalBitch>	Eventually the two would find Lilith, still working in the art room.  She was busy working on the same painting that Wendy had caught her with before, having already done anything Miss Leurgans could find for her to do.  The perks of not going to class all week, it seems.  She's busy in a back corner painting on an easel against a wall, pallete on a stool next to her.  It's later in
<FullMetalBitch>	the day, so she has the radio louder than usually and seems to be brushing strokes to the beat.  If one listened well enough, they'd catch her singing.
<Kioku>	Akemi giggles lightly and squeezes Wendy's hand, not wanting to interrupt her painting.  Or once they move deeper into the room and notice, her singing.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy notices Lilith and looks up to Akemi, then leading her to behind Lilith and letting go of the girls hand to give a gentle tap to Lilith shoulder when she isn't in the middle of painting.
<FullMetalBitch>	Lilith dips the brush into a burnt umber and starts to run it across the canvas.  "Tell me," she sings to the piece of amateur art in front of her, "did you fall for a shooting star?" Her voice isn't the best singing voice, and her accent comes through much more when she does. "One without a permanant scar? And did you m-" she jumps a bit as she is tapped and quickly turns around.
<FullMetalBitch>	Though the anxiety at being interrupted washes away as she sees the two girls.  "I did not know I had visitors," she says as she laughs.  Embarassment on her voice and a blush in her cheeks.
<Kioku>	Akemi giggles again.  "Surprise!"
<Kioku>	It looks like she'd offer a hug if not for... well... paint.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy smiles at Lilith, giving the girl a quick kiss on the forehead, then standing back to let the girl take her ground without worry, though her expression starts to waver, remembering exactly why they were there.
<FullMetalBitch>	Lilith smiles at the kiss, then looks over to Akemi. "It is a surprise. I am usually left alone at this hour. You have caught me slacking off," she says with a laugh as she looks back to the piece and gives it a playful brush stroke. "Did you need something from Miss Leurgans?"
<Kioku>	"Nope!  We came to see you."  Akemi's smile flickers.  "Much as we both like spending time with you... it's not about a pleasant topic."
<FullMetalBitch>	"Okay," Lilith says as her smile turns to a neutral expression.  "What about?"
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy bites her lip, looking up to Akemi, then taking a deep breath at the topic that will soon unfold "It's about Phony."
<FullMetalBitch>	"What about him?" Lilith says as she looks between the two, fiddling with the brush in her hands. "I am not allowed to talk to him, they already told me that."
<Kioku>	Akemi glances at the brush.  It's presence just bothers her for some reason.  Maybe fear of getting paint on her if she tries to hug Lilith.  "He scared Wendy.  And tried to apologize with a note, but... he also made accusations about you.  It's only fair that you know - whatever you say, you've been a far better and closer friend than him.  I'll believe you."

<SavanahHolland>	Wendy bites her lip slowly, unsure what to say exactly, finding the words she wants to express held back into her throat, she has come to a point where just talking about Phony stressed her.
<FullMetalBitch>	"He is a troubled boy," Lilith says with a shrug.  "If you think I should know, then I will listen to you."  She motions to the front of the room, "if you would like there are some drinks behind her desk."  There's a smile back on her face, she is trying to keep it somewhat light hearted.
<Kioku>	Akemi glances back to where Lilith points and nods.  "You know that I won't implicitly believe this, what he said.  He is indeed... troubled."  It looks like it pains Akemi to say that - she really wanted to be friends with him too!  "So when I say that he claims you hear voices in your head, and one of them was from an outside source somewhere in the forest, know that I'm not judging or accusing you.  No matter whether it's true or
<Kioku>	not, it changes nothing about who you are - someone I care about."
<FullMetalBitch>	Lilith reacts to the comment.  It's a subtle physical one, but her mood sours almost instantly.  She stops spinning the brush and her smile leaves her face for a vacation.  "It is not true," she says quickly. Too quickly, defensively almost.  "Is that it?"  She tries to move the conversation away and stops looking at Wendy completely.
<Kioku>	Akemi takes a half-step back at the reaction... more so at how Lilith completely shuts her out than anything.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy takes a small sigh, more so out of worry for the girl in front of her, she slowly puts and gentle hand to Lilith's arm, if only to show she cares of the girls troubles, she shakes her head softly "Don't worry.. you don't have to share that if you don't want to.."
<FullMetalBitch>	Lilith seems to warm at the touch, if only a little bit.  At the words however, she pulls her arm away and looks at Wendy as if she has wronged her deeply.  "There is nothing to share, he is just a little boy making things up for attention.  Why would you even give him the benefit of the doubt?"  Her eyes dance between the two girls, as she starts to twirl the brush again, more tightly
<FullMetalBitch>	than before.

<Kioku>	Akemi looks... still rather hurt at Lilith's reaction and, very strangely for her, doesn't make a move to place a comforting touch on Lilith's arm or something.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy bites her lip quite harshly, at this point the bottom of her lip has been teared and torn multiple times in worry, she mumbles a small apology, though she still seems concerned for the girl before her. "Lilith.. Phony was talking about you trying to hurt him.. But I know you wouldn't do that without reason.. so I got mad at him about it." she lets out a small laugh, though it seems forced "What did he do to you..?"
<FullMetalBitch>	"He said some very harsh things," Lilith says in response.  She glances over to the door as she tries to imagine the scene all over in her head, again.  It would be another replay, something she had been doing for a while now.  However she turns to look at the two, her eyes falling on Akemi out of the bunch as if she was the reasonable adult to explain to.  "I am not supposed to talk
<FullMetalBitch>	about it.  Miss Westheart has told me as much."  Her eyes trail down Akemi and watch her hands for a second.  Not holding someone elses hand.  They dart back up to watch her face.
<FullMetalBitch>	westhart*
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy sighs, hoping for Akemi to explain what had happened, not really having the heart to do so after hearing of Liliths experience, Phony truely was scum of the earth. She continues to look at Lilith worriedly, only imagining what that freak could have said to the girl, her face soft, but in her mind coldly planning to approach him, alone.
<Kioku>	Akemi still hasn't quite fought back for her composure fully.  The fear of making Lilith dislike her right now is consuming, overwhelming.  She uncharacteristically glances away when Lilith looks to her face.
<Kioku>	\Please talk to me... please, please, please...\
<Kioku>	She crosses her hands and holds one with the other in front of her, swaying slightly.
<FullMetalBitch>	"Are we done here?"  Lilith says it in a tone that could almost be construed as anger.  The silence in the air filled with mediocre rock music the only knife to cut it.  She turns away from the two, showing her back to them as she starts to pick some darker reds off her pallete to work on a tree she hasn't yet finished.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy takes in a sharp deep breath, then moving forward, scared to hurt Lilith above all else in that moment, she puts a hand to Lilith back, trying to be soft and gentle, she lets a very subtle pulse through Lilith's back, hardly noticable but fills you with warmth alone, even if she still harbored feelings of resentment from her words not so long earlier.
<Kioku>	Akemi takes a small breath in and glances at Lilith, taking a couple more steps back with a tear starting to clearly form in her eye.  "If you want to be done here," she murmurs before almost running out of the room.
<FullMetalBitch>	Lilith stiffens at the touch, before she turns around.  It's quick, fast, and reactionary.  Her arm stays up as she tries to swipe it around and brush off Wendy.  What ends up happening in her heated moment is a little different.  Her hand is too high, her body moves too quickly, and she isn't exactly thinking straight.  In the end, she ends up spinning around and smacking Wendy across
<FullMetalBitch>	the face with her hand.  Paint brush still in it, red paint ending up on her cheek and some splattered across the top of her shirt.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy stumbles back as she's smacked across the cheek but someone she trusted, loved enough to want to help, care for even in her darkest moment. For once she actually expresses fear of Lilith, the sound echoing throughout the room, but everything felt silent in that moment, for once nothing was or felt right. She stares at Lilith, a look you couldn't quite describe on her usually blushing or smiling features, complete fea
<SavanahHolland>	r and sadness. She slowly regains her ground, and before Lilith can even think, she runs.
<Kioku>	Akemi had stopped a few meters down the hall, standing with eyes squeezed shut and a few tears on her face.  \Lilith, why?  What did I do wrong to make you hate me?  I don't want to force you or kill you!  How could you do this to me?\
<FullMetalBitch>	Lilith watches her turn and start towards the door.  It's not in her to let it go, no matter how angry the accusation made her.  The strings to the door are still there where she left them, she grabs them and she pulls with anger.  As she touches them and plucks them, the door to the art room slams closed loudly in front of the running girl.
<Kioku>	Akemi jolts at the sound of the slam and spins around, looking fearfully at the door.  The emotion lasts only a second before giving way to something more sinister.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy stares at the door being slammed shut in front of her eyes wide with fear, her body just wanting to crumble under the stress, the fear. She just stands there, not knowing what to do, her body shaking slightly.
<FullMetalBitch>	Lilith points at Wendy, after setting her brush down.  She then points at the floor in front of her.  "Now," she says in a sterm voice still lined with the anger from before.  Whether she just isn't remorseful for her action, or is too driven by her anger, isn't apparent without the flicker of remorse in her eyes.
<Kioku>	Akemi runs up and looks through the door's window, then tries to spirit-jump into Wendy through it... but something about how Lilith has manipulated the strings to close it blocks her out.  She runs down the hall to the room's other door, hoping she might be able to get in that way.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendys breath catches, her eyes driven into the door, her body still shaking, why would Lilith do that, why would Lilith hurt her, why is this happening? Two tears streak down her eyes, though she's still facing away from Lilith, she had been biting her lip for so long, at this point a small ammount of blood fell down it.
<FullMetalBitch>	"Wendy," Lilith says with a rise in her voice. "You are going to come over here, and we are going to talk about this."  She says it as fact, like there is no way it can't happen.  However she doesn't move, and waits for the girl to come to her.
<Kioku>	Akemi gets to the other door and- oh, who the hell locks a classroom during the day?  She looks in.  She can't see Wendy from here, but Lilith...
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy finds herself slowly untangled, if only for a moment, she's yet to notice the blood besides the small pain in her lip, she slowly moves to wipe off her few tears with the sleeve of her sweater, then slowly turning around to look at Lilith, her face red but it's not completely obvious she was crying, the blood still on her lip going unnoticed, her eyes still sparked with fear.
<FullMetalBitch>	"Come here," Lilith says as she reaches into her apron to dig out a cloth that isn't completely paint covered. "I must clean that off your face," she says like nothing has changed.  Like everything that is happening is completely normal and nothing is out of place.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy walks over, each step seeming slow and painful, if only emotionally, her gaze goes to the ground, her chest felt like it was starting to hurt.
<Kioku>	\She locked Wendy in there.  Separated her from me after hurting me.\  ... And then she sees the red on Wendy's face and shirt.  Paint or blood?  She can't tell from here.
<FullMetalBitch>	"Hurry up," Lilith says as she talkes a few steps to meet her.  She puts a hand on Wendy's cheek to hold her face in place.  Her other hand starts to pat at the girl's face and pick the blood, tears, and paint away slowly.
<Kioku>	Akemi bares her teeth, silvery wisps start swirling around her.  She shifts forms, and dashes through the door, into Lilith, then immediately jumps from her to the floor behind her for not only a double-shock of pleasure, but also to get herself into the room.
<Kioku>	She stands and turns around, looking at Wendy over Lilith's head to see how hurt she is.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy's face at this point is less filled with the fear of the moment, but now just hurt and confusion, finding her chest hurting slowly becomming unbearable, if only to herself. She says nothing, but her body is still shaking as if she were cold, Wendy stares at Akemi with wide eyes, come blood still on her lip from not being completely dabbed off and her face red.
<FullMetalBitch>	Lilith jolts as she is run through by the girl.  Her body shaking in an indescribable amouth of pleasure she hadn't felt since that morning together.  Eyes wide, not breathing for a moment, her grip on wendy shuddering.  As the slithering fox pulls out of her she lets out a cry, either of pleasure or pain.  She drops the rag in her hand and lowers her head to take quick short breaths
<FullMetalBitch>	.  The hand on Wendy's face moving to the girl's shoulder to brace herself.
<Kioku>	Akemi stares at Wendy's lip, but isn't drawn in so much becaue of her present focus.  "She hurt you..." Akemi says, staring at Wendy's expression and the paint, slowly stepping around Lilith to get a closer look.
<FullMetalBitch>	Lilith catches her breath and looks up at the voice.  Her eyes shoot to the girl and the ecstasy starts to turn itself back into anger.  "I did not."
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy continues to stare at Akemi, letting Lilith hold to her arm, barely moving, she doesn't seem confused by Akemis words, Lilith did in fact hurt her, but she finds herself unable to connect the dots once more, everyother time it being said had turned violent, but Akemi wouldn't hurt Lilith.

<Kioku>	Akemi puts a finger on Wendy's lip, then tastes the blood from it.  "She made you afraid of her... she hit you..."  She turns around to stare at Lilith, conflicting emotions all over her face.  \I don't want to hurt her though... Wendy loves her, so why would she do this?  I don't understand... I can't let her hurt her anymore... I can't let her hurt me again...\  Akemi is, naturally, very foxy right now.  She lays a hand on
<Kioku>	Lilith's cheek and stares into her eyes.  "Wendy... tell me what you're feeling..." she whispers to the girl half-behind her.
*	EndPhone has quit (Client exited)
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy stares at Akemi actions, still unmoving, uncertain even. She says, almost silently "I- I don't know.." she looks like shes about to cry again, but stops herself, the flurry of emotions inside her with names she knew, but they were so jumbled, twisted and confused.
<FullMetalBitch>	Lilith looks at Akemi, her eyes searching the girl and trying to read her.  Her hand slips down to her apron and into one of it's pockets.  As Akemi touches her face, and lays there, her reaction is to pull away.  She doesn't.  She watches her and the natural glow of her features and the way she cares for Wendy as much as she herself goes.  She starts to speak, the only resistance she
<FullMetalBitch>	can muster in the flash of the moment. "Leave," she says to her while still transfixed, "you are not wanted here."  It was a small rebellion but she had interacted enough to know that something so simple could be powerful to the right person.

<Kioku>	Akemi leans in closer, millimeters away from Lilith's lips.  "Are you sure?"  It's very noticable at this distance just how sweet her natural scent is, how her features draw the eye and make you change your standards of what beauty is.  How her always-graceful, flowing movements make you want to just watch dumbfounded that such a creature could grace this world.  And then she presses her lips against Lilith's and releases her power,
<Kioku>	a glimpse of her inner self, and all of that is magnified and more.  Not just all these features of simple attraction, but the emotions that flow in from that kiss, that entwine and ensnare and imprint themselves like they're completely natural.  That arise from within at the simple event of witnessing the real, inner Akemi.  Love as pure and devotion as clear as anyone could hope to feel.  Desire to be closer, know her as well as
<Kioku>	you know yourself.  Akemi somehow has the presence of mind to block her presence from increasing jealousy or inspiring /too/ much lust, but the swirl of everything else is enough to leave one unable to think of anything else.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy stares at the scene, her heart, just briefly, for a moment, stopping. Her face becomes pale, the feeling in her chest becomming so much horribly, horribly worse, her breath escaping from her lips, the quiet, her head pounding. She then finds herself so very close to the edge, her body so close, with that she falls to the floor, she jumps into the darkness she had always seen before she slept.
<FullMetalBitch>	Lilith watches her from a distance, she watches it close and get smaller and then she's right there in front of her.  The object of some hidden desire she'd kept inside her since she first looked at another girl on the playground with something more than friendship.  There she is, a girl who could make everything in the world quiet for a second just to hold your attention.  Then it
<FullMetalBitch>	happened, the atomic bomb, the kiss.  In all her travels she had never tasted something so sweet.  She sells her soul to Iblas, devotes her life to Allah, and kisses her back.  Falling into the black hole of desire and dare to describe it by the word, love, in her heart.  That was it, she knew it, she had always known it since she met her and knew it for eternity.  She loved this.  Yes
<FullMetalBitch>	.  She loved this girl!
<Kioku>	Akemi lets the kiss break after several long moments, then pulls away and caresses Lilith's face.  "You never want to hurt me, do you?"
<FullMetalBitch>	Lilith looks suprised that the kiss ends, her eyes full of a life long passion as she stays transfixed by the succubus. "Never," she says in a quiet tone.
<Kioku>	Akemi smiles slightly, but has worry in her eyes.  "Hurting Wendy would hurt me... so... you'll never do that either, right?"  Akemi leans in and pecks Lilith on the lips again before stepping away and kneeling beside Wendy.  "Won't you help me?"
<SavanahHolland>	From the way she fell, blood was comming out of her ear and making a small pool on the floor, her breathing slow and unsteady, as if she were going to stop any second, her mind lost to wander, the world crashing down on her so quickly she didn't have a chance in the first place.
<FullMetalBitch>	Lilith looks like she would die of thirst for attention if the girl turned away from her.  "Never," she repeats in the same voice.  Her body rising to the kiss and staying there for a moment until she follows behind Akemi.  She meant it, she wanted Wendy to not get hurt.  Why is wendy hurt? She needs to help.
<Kioku>	\She's bleeding... why is she... did she hit that hard from the fall?  Is it safe to enter her to bring her somewhere?  Can I wake her?\
<Kioku>	\I-is it even safe to move her?\
<Kioku>	Akemi shivers and tries to lift a little to check the back of her head.
<Kioku>	*to lift Wendy a little
<FullMetalBitch>	"We need to find a doctor," Lilith says as she watches Wendy.  She's hurt, she can't be hurt.  She needs to get better.
<Kioku>	Akemi looks up to Lilith's eyes.  "Please run as fast as you can to the infirmary to get someone, unless you know where a phone is and how to contact them.  I will start carrying her that way."
<FullMetalBitch>	Lilith looks at her and darts, she has to do this for her. For both of them.  She flings the door open by it's threads and rushes through it, before she turns down the hall and breaks into a sprint for the infirmary.
<SavanahHolland>	The back of her head seems fine, the only problem at the moment seems to be when you touch her, her body is cold, freezing even, some of the blood has made its way to one of her pigtails matting it with a mixture of dried and fresh blood.
<Kioku>	Akemi takes in a gasp.  She's seen something like this happen to her before.  Without hesitation, she jumps in and goes to Wendy's core.  \Don't say I crushed her heart into embers... not with that act to save her... she'll understand, won't she?\
<Kioku>	\Please let me not be the cause of this!\
<SavanahHolland>	You see a familiar sight, though everything is much less bright, as you are there even you feel chilled, as if you were close to death, the same place that had tried to ignite now cold and black, just the faintest crack of red slowly being swallowed up by the cold.
<Kioku>	\I won't... I won't let this happen!  Not to my Wendy...\  Akemi wraps around it, ignoring the chill, and starts trying to feed it like last time.
<SavanahHolland>	Just touching it sends chills down your spine, it's not cold you feel exactly, but pain instead, not something that breaks your bones, but the kind that would break someones will to even live. Feeding the flame, only makes these feelings send back to you so much sharper, like a deadly knife, the crack slowly becomming a small flame, as if it could just flicker out with the wrong move.
<FullMetalBitch>	Lilith hits the door frame running, she then rushes back into the room.  Behind her, one of the Doctors from the infirmary she had gradded by the arm and screamed at for a minute before he finally got the idea to follow her.  She ran over to Wendy, dropping to her knees next to her as she motions for the flustered Doctor to come over and attend to her friend.    Her hands reaches over
<FullMetalBitch>	to take one of the girl's hand.  It's cold, and she starts to rub it in response as if it would do anything to help.
<Kioku>	Akemi shivers inside.  \No matter the pain, you're worth it... you have to be okay... for me.  Please!\  Akemi clings tighter, feeding more into it until it's so much her spirit nearly can't keep up.  Every movement she makes is a gesture of affection, every moment a proclamation of love.  ~Please come back to me.  I need you.~
<Kioku>	She's dimly aware that Lilith has returned to find her absent, but can't do anything about it just now.
<SavanahHolland>	The pain slowly gets stronger, as if you were actually being attacked, the flame grows brighter, as if it could now possibly hold its own, even if it were small, after what feels like a thousand years of pain, the emotions comming to you start to die down, instead one single slow and steady emotion comming into the girl from Wendys core, distrust.
<FullMetalBitch>	Lilith watches and nitpicks the doctor as he kneels next to Wendy and starts to work on stabilizing her.  She had spent enough time with her father to help the doc when he needed something from his bag.  He had reached to his radio and had called it in, and was assured more people were on their way to help move the girl.  Guards as well, as often happened in situations like this.  She
<FullMetalBitch>	stayed there and help Wendy's hand tight, trying to will her back.  If Allah could answer one prayer in her poor life, it would be this one, she hoped more than anything.
<Kioku>	Akemi seems so small, frail after enduring the pain.  As if she's curled up into a tight ball and shivering while at the same time splayed out and crying with a voice that left forever ago from the screams that passed through it.  All for Wendy. Always worth it for Wendy.  Anything, any price, any pain, to make sure she's protected, loved.  And then she senses the distrust and her heart shatters.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy lays unmoving to the world around her, the people that saw her, her hand that was held, nothing, nothing in that world seemed okay, nothing was okay. Akemi, you hear the faintest whisper in your mind, as if it were just some breeze passing by in a cold winter night. \Why..\
<FullMetalBitch>	Lilith watches as some men rush it with a stretcher.  As the doctor instructs them to move her onto it.  One last kiss on her forehead before she is rushed out of the art room with a flurry of people in a storm around her shouting words and calling orders in their hurry.  She can't follow, though every part of her wants to.  The guard holding her around the chest and telling her to calm
<FullMetalBitch>	down and stop yelling, the one looking to pull a taser from his side as she starts to fling things around the room in protest.  For what it's worth, she did her small part in the play.  She can only hope the curtain won't drop on her favorite actress.
<FullMetalBitch>	in*
<Kioku>	Too much.  It's too much.  If Wendy could lose trust in her then... then why?  She couldn't kill Wendy for this.  Not like her second victim, Wendy means so much more.  She couldn't force her emotions like she did to stop Lilith from hurting her.  They were too precious, too wonderful and lovely and she wanted, needed to see where they went...  Akemi does the only thing that she with her total heartbreak can do.  She casts herself
<Kioku>	on Wendy's core, hoping it will consume her, take her life, and maybe... maybe as her spirit becomes fuel, make Wendy understand her feelings.
*	FullMetalBitch has quit (Quit: )
<SavanahHolland>	The flame just stays there, like watchful eyes on Akemi, a figure stepping out, it's body made of pure violet flames it looks to Akemi with eyes that are not there, wrapping it's arms around her as if it were Wendy herself, softly pulling your spirit back, you can only now seem to feel a core of emotion, not from yourself, but from Wendy. All at once so many sensations, emotions fill your heart, devotion, trust, loyalty, l
<SavanahHolland>	ove. As if it were it saying sweet nothings, then it says slowly, for Akemi's spirit alone 'you will not die like this' the flame suddenly becomes a burning inferno of a deep crimson, the figure turning deeper, then sharply pulling you back, out of Wendy's body.
<Kioku>	Akemi is too shocked to do anything, and ends up falling, rather than jumping, out of Wendy, landing flat on her back on the ground under her stretcher just before she's moved to one of the infirmary beds.
<Kioku>	She lets out a small noise of pain from the unexpected drop.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy's body is moved limply to one of the bed, making no sound, the blood comming from her ear by now having been swabbed and sent for tests, a female staff nurse looking to be making inspections around the girls body, as it suddenly starts to become hot to the touch, the woman curses under her breath at her now burnt finger tips, Wendys body then slowly cools down to a normal body heat, but that detears the woman from go
<SavanahHolland>	ing much farther with her work, looking around for some gloves before she bothers trying again, not ready to take a chance even if she looks like she's cooled down.
<Kioku>	Akemi blinks her eyes open and winces, trying to sit up but finding it a lot more difficult than it should be.  After all, she did burn (literally) quite a lot of energy there.  Probably shouldn't let herself raise a curse for a couple of days, just to be safe.  Good thing her other ability needs to be held in more than pushed out... well, good thing if nobody minds her aura of emotion being a few times as strong for the next little
<Kioku>	while.
<SavanahHolland>	The nurse notices Akemi finally, putting on some heavy duty gloves, though she's far too busy deal with the problem at hand, telling the girl to move back at least, checking Wendys breathing and pulse with quick hands, having spent years in this feild of work. She comments how her breathing and heart rate have become stable, despite outside infulence. After a few minutes Wendy's body moves slightly, but her eyes don't seem
<SavanahHolland>	 to open.
<Kioku>	Akemi stands up and ignores the nurse, leaning over Wendy and running a hand along her cheek, eyes full of confusion and concern.

<SavanahHolland>	The woman glares at Akemi, then goes to check the girl's ear, where the blood was reported to be comming from by the doctor who had arrived on the scene first. After a few minutes Wendy's body moves again softly, both eyes opening up slowly to look at Akemi, no expression on her face other than eyes that for a brief moment sparkled a violet flame.
<Kioku>	Akemi stares into Wendy's eyes for a couple moments, blinks, and wraps her arms around the girl despite the nurse's presence and Wendy's awkward position.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy takes a shuddering breath, closing her eyes into Akemi. The Nurse stares at Akemi, raising a eyebrow, then again in this school it wasn't much of a stretch to have a girl that looked like she was on deaths door fifteen minutes ago magically becomming normal, what a strange place this was for Dorthy Higgenbottoms, but instead she went back to her paperwork, just a simple nurse who had lived on a farm all her life, hav
<SavanahHolland>	ing dreams of going over the rainbow.. but sadly.. Dorthy wasn't even a NPC...
<Kioku>	"I'll take care of her from here..." Akemi murmurs to the nurse.
<SavanahHolland>	The woman sighs, she was given too much personailty, so now we must dispose of her like all good almost NPCs, throw her off to the side. And she does just that, she walks to the very end of the room, and due to it being a long room with small curtained areas, the one you two in now is curtained, she leaves from your sights, forever.. So long Dorthy.. So long... Wendy burys her face into Akemi, her body shaking, she mumbles
<SavanahHolland>	 "i'm sorry.." a few wet spots now on your shirt from tears you didn't quite notice.
<Kioku>	"N-no, I'm sorry!  I didn't realize... I didn't... I don't understand I don't know how... please can we go back to our room?\
<Kioku>	*"
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy's breaths are shaky and warm against your skin, a few more drops of water making their way on your shirt, she nods "Please.."
<Kioku>	"Want me to carry you?"
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy takes a sharp breath, then nodding softly, never actually been carried by a friend before, having always been the one to carry.
<Kioku>	Akemi smiles faintly and lifts Wendy out of the hospital bed, holding her closely, and makes her way out and into the courtyard.  Heading: dorms.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy is clutching Akemi's shirt closely, not letting her face be seen by the girl, staying in her arms.
<Kioku>	Quite a few people in the courtyard pause to stare at the duo, but Akemi (for once) pays them no mind.  Only Wendy matters right now.  She crosses the courtyard and enters the dorms, going for the stairs.
*	EndPhone has quit (Client exited)
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy continues to stay in Akemi's arms, holding the girl as a lifeline. She murmurs almost silent apologies to the girl, though not sure why, as if what happened hasn't quite registered yet.
<Kioku>	Akemi heads up the stairs and waits in front of Wendy's room door.  "We're here.  Want me to get in your pocket to unlock it?  We need to clean you up, all that paint on your face..."
<SavanahHolland>	In Akemi's arms Wendy feebly produces a key from her pocket, giving it to Akemi, her face moving to give a small nod.
<Kioku>	Akemi opens up Wendy's door and sets the girl on the closer of the two beds.  "Gotta wash you up anyway... and it's in your hair too... shower?"
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy lays on the bed, opening her eyes to gaze at Akemi from her side, bringing her hand up weakly to feel the dried blood in her hair, which she now assumed was just paint, the puzzle not yet connecting, and seeming like it doesn't plan to unfurl just yet in her mind. "No.. I- I'm fine.."

<Kioku>	Akemi frowns slightly.  She was trying to keep Wendy sitting up.  "Please?  It's still kinda wet, I don't want it getting on your pillows too..."
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy lets out a small breath "Alright... as long as it's quick though, alright?" Wendy was perhaps taking what happened too well, it would seem strange to anyone who noticed the leading events.
<Kioku>	Akemi nods and starts stripping down to only what she'll wear in the hall on the way to the shower right away, clearly intending to join Wendy in the shower and make sure she gets properly washed up.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy would take off her flats, but they were probably somewhere in the artroom scattered about due to their ill fit, though she didn't think of that and the lack of shoes to her was strange, but she shrugged it off. She then slowly takes off her leather jacket, though worried about standing, she then tries to stand up from her position, stumbling and ending holding her around will a little support of the wall.
<Kioku>	Akemi rushes over to help keep Wendy up... and helps her get undressed while she's at it.  "I've got you..."
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy doesn't seem to complain, her mind starts to wander for a moment as if she were forgetting something "Why was I in the infirmary?" she asks this, her cheeks slightly puffed as Akemi undresses her, though her tone quite true to herself and filled with curiousity.
<Kioku>	"You collapsed in the art room.  You..."  Akemi shivers.  "You went cold..."
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy's face scrunches up softly in confusion, remembering that Akemi had left so quickly, then, nothing "What.. what happened Akemi..? Why did you leave the room so quickly?" when did she even passout, new questions in her head were forming, but dots have yet to be connected.
<Kioku>	"Lilith..." Akemi trails off.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy's face turns to look at Akemi, her face even more worried "What.. happened?" she says softly, a few dots being made into a line of a much greater picture, she knew she had missed something, unsure just.
<Kioku>	"She... closed herself off when we tried talking to her about what FonyX said.  She seemed so angry about it, it hurt so much to have her angry at me, at you... and then the next thing I knew, she'd slammed the doors shut, it looked lik you were trying to get out.  The paint was across your face then, so I assume she hit you with the brush or something.  I had to jump through her to get inside with you again, I HAD to be next to
<Kioku>	you, protect you, make you safe.  I had to stop her from hurting either of us again..."
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy manages to hug Akemi, still wondering, though now worried for Akemi and Lilith... "Akemi.. she was just upset.. she wouldn't hurt either of us.."she hugs Akemi tighter
<Kioku>	Akemi bows her head and buries it in Wendy's hair.  The unpainted side.  "I hope not... I know you love her, and she's probably my second best friend after you.  I didn't want to do anything that would hurt her either...  I couldn't stand the idea of doing anything that might hurt you like that, or her!"
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy hugs Akemi tighter, but almost a afraid to ask "Then.. then how did you protect me..?" she was almost scared to ask where Lilith even was.
<Kioku>	"It's temporary," Akemi prefaces, hoping to take the edge off in case this is what Wendy really disliked.  "I... made her fall in love.  It was the only way I could think of for everyone to come out okay from whatever made her be so hurtful..."
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy's voice then lowers to a hurt whisper, her memories starting to leak through but not yet, no memories have found their way just yet, just a odd pain on her cheek and the side of her head "fall.. in love...?"
<Kioku>	"My true self, Wendy.  I showed her, I... I guess the phrase most people use around here is that I used my power."
<SavanahHolland>	A single memory seems to form like a tear compared to a sea of information, some not yet daring to be reveal, she then look to Akemi, her eyes desperate and pained "Why did you kiss her...?" a few tears find their ways to well into her eyes, though not falling down.
<Kioku>	Akemi's lips part in surprise, and she gets a look of understanding.  "It was the best way to transmit my power, and make sure she didn't resist it..."  Akemi turns her head to rest her cheek on Wendy's shoulder, looking away.  Her next words are barely audible.  "I wish it had been you..."
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy's breath catches as she hears Akemi's words in the silent room, then slowly moving her hand to run Akemis hair through her fingers gingerly, in the back of her mind she was glad she was still being helped with standing by Akemi, she doesn't quite respond with any words "i'm sorry... I- I got the wrong idea.. and I.." she can't seem to finish the setence, she knows she did something, but is unsure of what.
<Kioku>	Akemi squeezes Wendy tightly, closing her eyes and leaning harder against her shoulder, though still making sure to support her.
<Kioku>	"I was so scared... you fainted, and you went cold, and..." \It hurt.  It hurt so much.\
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy hugs Akemi tight, not only to keep from falling, her words soft, yet still a small tone of hurt in her voice "I'm sorry.. I'm so sorry.." she closes her eyes, trying to keep from letting the tears come back.
<Kioku>	"Shhh..."  Akemi nuzzles her cheek against Wendy's.  "You know the other side of this... Lilith will almost certainly want... need even, to come to bed with us tonight.  Probably for the next few nights after that too.  She loves you already, and... with how much she was exposed - how strong the push was..."
<Kioku>	"She was already saying she'd like to, to be with you before sometimes."  Akemi pulls back to see Wendy's face.  "I don't want to interfere... but now she'll want to for both of us for a little while..."
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy looks down "but.. after that.. she'll just ignore me when we sleep.." she looks saddened by the idea of Akemi being too busy with Lilith, and Lilith being too busy with Akemi, she says softly "It would be worse than sleeping alone.."
<Kioku>	Akemi bumps foreheads with Wendy.  "She still loves you just as much as ever.  We could put you in the middle~"
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy takes a sharp breath "O-ok.." her fears for a moment seem to lift, just not completely.
<Kioku>	"Look at me..." Akemi whispers.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy bites her lip, though quickly retracts that action from the sting in her lip, she looks up to Akemi slowly.
<Kioku>	Akemi catches sight of Wendy's bloody lip again and takes a quick breath, licking her lips and trying to ignore it.  "Wendy?  Please..."  She leans forward slowly, getting closer, closer.  "Tell me what you want?  No matter what it is, if I can, I'll give it to you."
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy looks back down for a brief second, then comming to meet the girls eyes once more "I- I don't know.. I don't know what the right thing is anymore..." she shakes her head softly
<Kioku>	Akemi leans in closer, moves very slightly to the side, and kisses Wendy right next to the corner of her lip on what *barely* could be considered the cheek.  "Okay.  If you find out, tell me.  For now, we should get you cleaned up."

<SavanahHolland>	Wendy takes a breath, a soft blush comming on her face from the brief 'kiss', a few odd butterflys in her stomach, she nods "A-alright.." she the points to a draw near the other side of the room "There are some towels in there.."
<Kioku>	"Should I pick some things out to have you wear, too?"
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy blushes brighter "I- I can do it myself if you help me over.." she looks at the drawers, close to just trying to dash for it and hope she doesn't fall.
<Kioku>	Akemi giggles.  "Are you suuure~?"  She moves to help Wendy over there anyway.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy blushes at Akemi's flirty tone, the deadly tone from earlier having been dropped and rather now everything seemed quite lighthearted a sweet, she then nods to let the girl know she's positive, then shuffling through her drawers to get out a dark green sweater, though it looks a little larger than most of her other pairs, perhaps more gotten for comfort, then getting a pair of her usual black skinny jeans, topping it
<SavanahHolland>	off with a white bra and pale red panties, not pink though. Then grabbing a slightly pink tinted towel.
<Kioku>	Akemi pulls out a second towel - even more of her clothes have been moved in here the last several days - and a full change of long sleeved shirt, short sleeved shirt to go over it, skirt, underclothes, and - in a change from her usual - tights.  All of these but the underclothes and under-shirt, she lays out on the bed to put on after returning.  She hooks a towel over her arm, grabs showering supplies and, most importantly, nabs
<Kioku>	Wendy to bring her to the bathroom.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy is indeed nabbed, sticking close and holding on to her items, as well as Akemi, using her as a support, though she didn't care to admit it, really it was more so she didn't keep getting dizzy on her feet, which seemed to happen when she looked at the ground for too long.
<Kioku>	Akemi gets them to the bathroom and goes about as usual, stripping off the rest of her clothes and then offering to Wendy, "need help?" if she hasn't finished yet.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy had managed to wiggle off her jeans, but was seemingly having a impossible time taking off her sweater, from her possition she felt like the one arm that wasn't latched to Akemi was like a t-rex arm. She blushes, puffing her cheeks up softly "yes.. please.."
<Kioku>	Akemi giggles and pulls the sweater off, sidling in as she does so, so that she's really close by the time it clears Wendy's head.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy blushes even brighter, then moving to unclick her white bra, and sliding down her panties, completely stripped.
<Kioku>	Akemi smiles and runs a hand along Wendy's cheek, then puts her arm around her and leads her to a shower stall after grabbing their washing things.
<SavanahHolland>	Wendy follows Akemi into the shower, her blush unrelenting in its quest to make her cheeks completely red. Though she keeps up with Akemi, keeping on her toes and mainly staying next to Akemi for much needed support.
<Kioku>	Akemi starts up the water, hot as she knows Wendy likes it, and stands facing Wendy quite a bit closer than necessary - the space may be cramped, but it's not that cramped.  She leans forward slightly so their bodies brush together.  "Would you like to wash each other again~?"
