"we go together then" she said nodding her head.

"Yes, let's go to the park he's there already." Shizuka said.

"Okay" she said running down the corridor.

Kouta appeared next to the two, "I have it covered... Dont do anything drastic, my love"

"I have too this time to make it right." Shizuka said.

"No you dont..." Kouta said, "I got it."

"You really don't want me to die I feel like Rido will kill me." Shizuka said.

Kouta turned, "Worse comes to worse, I will release most of my power, its more then enough to handle any adversary... you wont die."

"Okay." Shizuka said.

Kouta smiled, "He is nothing, remember that, dont doubt your own power..."

Shin all of a sudden woke up. He touched his healed wound and sighed. "Healed again." he said. He jumped up and raced to the park. "Darcy?"

Darcy could feel herself being placed on a bed, she groaned in pain. this time these injuries couldn't be healed by Iori's blood, her injuries were far worse than expected. she heard voices through the dark, but she couldn.t make them out.

He sat next to her, feeling guilty. Maybe if he hadn't came..........

She woke up in pain "Iori.." she groaned, barely opening her eyes, she grabbed out andfelt someones hand, she held it.

"It's Shin." he said, holding her hand.

"Oh sorry" she screamed in pain "I knew when i needed him most he wouldnt be here" her eyes began to tear "OWW!!"

"It's my fault you are like this..I shouldn't have interferred." he said.

"No you promised, at least you came" she tried to smile through the pain "Thankyou" she cried in pain again, she fell unconscious and her breathing began to slow.

He frowned. "If she dies....I'll kill myself." he said.

She began to sleep soundly, her vampire healing powers finally kicking in. she slept and didn't hear his words.

He sat there the entire time, not leaving her side.

Darcy woke up, she sat up and saw Shin sleeping in the chair beside her "Owww, my ribs" she said quietly she signalled for the doctor
"How long has he been here"
"He has been here the whole time of you sleep, the whole day" he said smiling "he has never left, is he your boyfriend?"
"No, he's my friend"

Shin slept, making no sounds.

Darcy watched him sleep strange he's just my friend, yet he has gave up comfort to stay here she took his hand and settled down and drifted off to sleep, still holding his hand.

SHin stayed asleep, exhausted.
