I tried to relax but couldn't. Dark's words had adjitated me to an exstent I could barely sit still. I walked through the house constantly going upstairs and then down. Maki noticed my movements and grabbed my arm as I made the twenty third pilgramidge to the kitchen
"Hachi what's eating you?" Maki asked calmly.
"Nothing...." I said trying to break away without hurthing her.
"Don't lie," Maki said tightening her grip on my arm.
"Maki let go!" I nearly hissed.
"Hachi...." Maki said with a hurt expression.
"Maki....I'm sssorry.....I...have sssome Dark isssuesss to work out...." I managed to get out.
"Dark!" Maki said turning pale.
"He can't move or anything.....but sssomething hasss happened to where he hasss become adjitated.....and he sssays D. Kyuubi hasss retrned.....and I can't find Kyuubi'ssss chakra anywhere......"
"Hachi.....please.....just try and relax...." Maki said hugging on my arm now.
"Maki...." I said softly.
"Hachi I love you and I hate it when you act like this....please stop..." Maki seemed to beg.
"Maki....for you....I will ssstop," I said.
We both walked to the front room and sat down on the couch. Neither of us moved for nearly an hour. Her breathing relaxed me....mellowed me down to where the thoughts of Kyuubi and the other fears had faded into the shaddows of my mind.
"Hachi.....stay this way forever....." Maki said quietly.
"Ssstay here....." I answered.
"No stay the way you are now.....forever," Maki smiled still clinging to my arm.
"Alright," I answered.
