The next day, Kokoro awoke to Kaminoke shaking him. Kokoro slowly opened his eyes as they fell upon the face of Kaminoke. "Kaminoke...." Kokoro spat out as he smiled, and ran his hand through her hair. *hey wait a moment... she must still be -* Kokoro paused and quickly covered both his eyes with his hands. "Sorry Kaminoke..!" Kokoro rushed back to where he first fell down; letting go of the clothing he had originally had gotten' for Kaminoke.
"Here you go Kaminoke..." Kokoro handed over his favorite clothings, though he didn't really mind; as long as the other townsfolk didn't take him to be a pervert. "What are these for Kokoro?" Kaminoke asked as she just held them close to her, not even knowing how to put them on. *God, why me* Kokoro thought as he tried to explain on how to put on the pants and shirt; making sure not to peek. Kaminoke just stared at the back of his head with a blank stare and followed as he said.
Finally after hours of pointless arguing on how to button up the shirt, everything was ready to go. "Do you.... know why I'm here...?" Kaminoke asked as she started to twirl around in her new outfit. Kokoro just paused and thought to himself, *Wait, she knew exactly what she was doing when she was in that state.. But now she doesn't remember a thing? Thats strange* Kokoro looked at Kaminoke's eyes; he couldn't look away, for it was as if his eyes had been trapped.
Kokoro blinked; then looked away as he replied, "Well... from what I remember, I think your an angel...." Kaminoke paused for a moment and started to laugh. "You must be joking, there is no such thing as angels... You must be going crazy or something..." Kokoro couldn't believe what she just said. *Wait, how is that even possible? She had wings; the whole shabang and she doesn't know what she is* Kokoro thought as he got up, and looked about the house; it was still trashed up from the previous day. Kokoro looked upon Kaminoke and asked, "So you really don't remember what happened here?" Kaminoke just laughed and replied with a smile, "Of course I don't... I just remember waiting for you out by the trees. Next I know, I wake up in this house..-" Kaminoke trailed off and said, "- By the way, whose house is this? it seems familiar somehow.."
Kokoro just slapped his head and thought, *Ok, so she doesn't remember what happened, or whats going on.. This just keeps getting better and better. But one question remains... Should I tell her?* The question echoed through Kokoro's mind; no matter what he thought of, that same phrase ran by every time. Kokoro was soon interrupted by Kaminoke when she tackled him and said, "So what now..?" Kokoro still had his blank expression on his face and finally awoke form his trance. "Well... for starters...-" Kokoro paused and looked away for a moment and then turned back towards Kaminoke and continued, "-Well... Your.. and angle..."
Kaminoke then struck a blank stare face towards Kokoro, as if she turned into a zombie. "Thats soooo sweet!" Kaminoke cried to Kokoro; making sure they were hugging really tight. *Why did I even bother trying to convince her* Kokoro thought as she kept a tight grip on him, rubbing her face on the back of his hair. "Well, now that my only family is gone... I must go live with my aunt and uncle, there the only ones who can take care of me now... Will you come with Kaminoke? It appears that you have no place else to go either..." Kokoro said as he stared walking out the door.
Before Kaminoke could answer Kokoro had been stabbed. A cloaked figure shot his hand through Kokoro's stomach. The cloaked kid smiled and said, "You won't be going anywhere here... Kokoro..."
Kokoro didn't have time to react; all that he could do was look down at where the mans hand entered, as blood started to pour down and onto the floor. Kokoro's eyes started to become blank, as his death was at hand.
Kaminoke watched as Kokoro walked just a few feet out the front door, then *WAM* a blood red arm shot out from Kokoro's back. A small tear fell from Kaminoke's face as her eyes became white as snow. "Kokoro!!!" Kaminoke shouted out as she shot her wings out, busting two huge holes in the back of her shirt; once again. She jumped up a few feet, and darted at the the who did this to Kokoro. The cloaked kid smiled, pulled his arm out of Kokoro's body; making him fall to the ground.
Kaminoke gave out a loud screeching sound as she was so close to punching the living face off of the cloaked kid. "Your to late Kaminoke.... He is dead, now there is no hope left for you at all!" the cloaked kid stated out as he simply took a step back, and taking a hold of Kaminoke's arm, and throwing her down into the ground; leaving a small crater.
*No... I must bring Kokoro back to life... there is only one way, but I must get rid of this... this kid...* Kaminoke thought as she stared to get up, and looked at the cloaked kid. "So who sent you?" Kaminoke asked as she started to walk towards the cloaked figure, charging up her arm like she did the last two vampires.
The kid started to make an annoying laughing sound and said, "I haven't been sent by anyone.... Well, even if I have been; your not going to get that kind of information just for asking...." the cloaked figure started to walk around, waving his arms and hands around blabbing about, "Besides, thats no way to get information right off the bat... first you gotta know the person, then have a few dinners here and there; then eventually you 'know' that person.. then thats when you can get information out of them...."
A small smile started to dawn upon Kaminoke's face as she said, "Your kinda funny... To bad I'll miss you. You could have been a great ally..." Kaminoke picked up her speed; thrusting her arm out in front of her, and shooting out the holy blast that was formed around her arm.
The kid continuously laughed as the blast just shot right through him. "I'm sorry to say, but my mission was just to kill the kid. I fled from these grounds as soon as you showed up young Kaminoke..." The cloaked figure said as the image of himself started to disappear.
Kaminoke tilted her head downwards; making the lot of her hair fall in front of her face, making her look semi-punk'ish. She walked towards the dead corps of Kokoro. "Kokoro... you were the only friend I have had... these past few hours, I guess I have grown to like you as a friend...." Kaminoke said as she fell to her knees; placing her face upon the opened wound in Kokoro's body. Her tears started to soak the body; as a light blue aura covered Kokoro's wound.
Kaminoke lifted her sobbing face from the kids body; as the wounds started to heal up. Just watching this event was like watching an old folk tale. The hole started to seal itself up; as if none of this ever happened.
"What.... happened?" Kokoro asked shakily as he got himself up; and managed to scratch the back of his head. Kaminoke's eyes filled with joy as he started to react. A few tears started to fill her face; tears of joy, and happiness. But before Kaminoke could explain to Kokoro, she turned back to her regular self.
Now all thats left is both of them know nothing of what just happened. Kaminoke passed out from using to much energy at one time, while the other just got tired of holding Kaminoke's body up for to long; so Kokoro fell down, trapped 'cause of Kaminoke's body to recover.
