Matt shivered as he, Mello, and Near followed me to the castle, well actually to my borther who I had spotted moments ago.Matt touched a spot on his arm. Mello looked at him. "Eh? What's wrong?"
Matt shrugged, and showed the spot. "Weird... thought I felt something..." He shivered. "It must have just been me feeling weird, you know... Lexi dead and everything."
Everyone flinched, although I tried not too. I blinked back the tears in my eyes.
"She's not dead..." My older brothers voice states, as he walked out from under a tree. "She's right there..."
--------
He closed his eys and pointed at air. He flinched. "Draxi..." He said softly. "She's hurt, please cleanse her soul... she's been tainted. Rem must have meet up with her..."
The others stared at where she was said to be. I couldn't believe it, I moved a step forward and he nodded, and noticed everyone's eyes go to her.
She shifted, and stood up.
"You will only see her for the rest of the day, but she will eventually fade if we don't help her..." B.B. Said. We nodded, she wiping her eyes.
"Draxi..." She moved over to me. I stared at her in horror and disgust..
"Don't touch me..." I said. Her slapped her hard. "How could you!!! I tried contacting you!!!"
She smiled at me. "Love you too..." Good, you better...
She turned towards the guys, and moved towards them, trying to cover up, I notice, her spirt uniform, but it was an epic fail.
She put her hand on Matt's cheek. He shivered.
"I'm alive... I'm sorry..." She pointed to the corner of her eye, then showed (without reaveling anything) the rest of the marks. "I-I touched a shinigami's object... and it hurt me..." she swallowed, tears returning. "And it hurt you as well..."
He nodded. "Let me guess, that touch I felt..." He put a hand on her head. "Was you, right?" she nodded.
"I'm..." she fell to the ground. B.B. ran to her and picked her up before I could even move.
"DRAXI!! She's running out of power, we need you to help NOW!!!"
Why was she hurt? Oh, wait a minute, this is Lexi, THE WARRIOR. Her not getting into trouble would be amazing. I kneel beside her and make my way through her defenses. For someone who hasn't been in the human world very recently, she has one hell of a defense." Lexi," I say softly but irratated, "You have to put your defenses down so that I can heal you.." She didn't reply, out loud, in her mind, or physically. "Damn you..." I mumbled causing my brother to look at me suspiciously.
"What happened to my sweet, caring, instantly loveable sister? I would expect that from Lexi but..from you?"
"Sorry bro, "I reply emotionlessly, " she left with Lexi. You get Lexi back here and you'll get me back too." I sighed as I tried to get through the final the door. The only place still tainted, sadly, was her well protected and fiercely guarded mind. Uh, next time she collapses she better unlock herself. I concentrated my entire being into her mind and found the large golden door that guarded her memory, strong, durable, intimdating. This is definitely the right door. I pushed as hard as I could and after 3 and 1/2 minutes of pushing it opened just enough for me to get through. I began cleansing her soul. She never allows me to clean her memory and make her suffer less when she awake but right now...I can do whatever.
