Running

I was such an idiot. I can't believe I was foolish enough......to give someone my heart and wait around for it to get torn to shreads. I sighed and continued walking slowly in the moonlight. I walked for a long time, and some hours later I found myself at a bar asking for more sake.

"Dude no way," the bar tender said as I asked, "that's your fifteenth right there. You are no Shukaku."

"How long have I been here?" I asked.

"A couple of hours why?" he asked.

I stood up and walked away. There was a biju presence nearby. I walked in the opposite direction.

"Hachi quit it," Ryusemi nearly yelled in my head, "you're emotions are so twisted that I'm even feeling them!"

"Ssssorry," I answered.

"Drunk b@#%@#d," Ryusemi answered.

'Am not," I growled.

"You are nearly as drunk as Shukaku and you are saying you're not? Plus the effect of being cold blooded makes you even more dangerous to the living."

"Sssssssssshut up."

"Then you will do something stupid like kill that girl that loves you."

"Maki?" I asked.

"That girl really loves you ya know," Ryusemi smiled, "I feed off everyones emotions, but hers are so good..."

"I could never kill Maki....."

"Your mind is not yours when you are drunk and you know that. I can barely keep your body propped up right now. If I let you go, you would probably experience the drunkness and fall straight over."

"Ryusemi....why are you holding me up then?"

"Because I want to feel your emotions. I like it when you are happy and in this state you are a lose lose situation. I get nothin out of it but depression and the fogginess of sake. Get back to normal or I'll take all your memories right now and we'll go on a killing spree together."

"What can I say to Maki....she'sss right....but I ssstill want her time....."

"heheh well tell her that then," Ryusemi laughed.

The sake seemed to leave my system immediatly and I ran back to the hotel. I grabbed and pulled open the door yelling Maki's name. I felt a shock go through me seing that she was not there. A not was on my bed. I picked it up.

Hachimata,

You left the one that means the most to you unprotected. How foolish. The Akatski have her now. If you want to save her, come to the address listed below.

I felt a rage run through me.
