Awaken

[Sleeping Hachi]

Dark was drowning me. I could barely breathe, but I still couldn't move. I saw what he saw, but I could not do....anything.

"Hachimata?" Dark asked, "My Hachi are you ok?"

"Dark," I said trying to catch a breath, "Dark I can't breathe.....help....."

"Hachimata," Dark said to me somewhat like a mother would scold a child, "All the time I slep inside you I could not breathe. Jussst relax and let the darkness take you. Don't be afraid."

"Dark!" I yelled, "Dark! Am I going to die?"

"No Hachi you are going to sssssleep for a long long time and when you awake I will have a sssssurprise for you," Dark smiled.

"Dark...." I said trailing off due to lack of energy, "Dark.....don't kill me...."

"My Hachi we are not going to die," Dark replied, "You are going to ssssleep."

"I....I....don't want to sssleep, I breathed. Now I could not breathe. I was sure I was dead. Into the darkness I went suffocating.

"Hachimata!" Kyuubi yelled. It was not the dark one, but the one I knew.

"Kyuu...." I managed to get out, "Kyu......kun.......I'm ssssorry......"

"Hachi!" Kyuubi's voice became very sharp to me, but Dark did not seem to notice.

"Kuubi.....I....can't breathe......" I managed to get out.

It felt as if someone had grabbed my arm. I figured Dark was fighting still. No wait! I could feel the fingers on my wrist not just the pain.

"Kyuub....i," I said feeling the lack of air finally ending my life.....

"Hachi," Kyuubi said, "Hachi......what has happened to you?"
