"Just promise that you'll be here when I need you! Raul, he... He's not well... He's been neglecting his medication so badly that he's starting to scare me a bit. With him, I can't share everything now for fear that he'll be thrust into his manic stage of the bipolar disease."
She shuddered, tightly clasping at the fabric of his shirt. "I'm scared for my life sometimes... I just need you to visit once in a while, please..."

Kisshu looked into her frightened eyes. There was so much pain and fear in those pools... He stroked her cheek with his fingertips as he had done so many times. "Call my name, anytime, at any ungodly hour, and I will be here. I will come to you. I will always hear you. All you have to do is call my name."
It would tear him up inside to be with her and yet be unloved by her, but he could not leave her alone to cry. The cuts to his heart he would endure, just so long as she would be able to smile. For every slash, she would smile. And that would be fine. He would do anything to keep the tears from her eyes.
How could he fall for a human like this? What he had for Ichigo...he couldn't even classify it as love anymore...not after the torturous pangs that Katherine Mason sent thrumming through him. He knew that he would not be able to sleep at night, because she would always be on his mind. And if he did sleep, she would star in his dreams.
It tore him apart, but he would endure. For her. He would do anything, face any obstacle, suffer through any pain...just so long as she didn't have to suffer again.

Katherine sighed, burrying her face deeply into the fabric of his shirt. "Don't abandon us... We haven't had an outside ally in so long... just please, please don't abandon us..."
She shivered, tightly gripping at his shoulders. "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... Just don't leave us here alone again... Don't..." She dropped her voice to a whisper. "Don't make me stay alone with him anymore..."

"It's alright, Katherine. I'm right here." He took her into his arms and stroked her hair, trying to calm her down. "It's going to be alright now. I promise."

"Thank you..." Katherine exhaled, pulling away slightly. She looked into his eyes, realizing just how well the golden gleam complimented his naturally grass colored hair. But that look in his eyes... it reminded her of glass. Why was he so upset? Was this a burden for him? Biting down on her lip, she placed her hands on his shoulders, forcing him to meet her gaze.
"Leave if you must, but.. don't make this goodbye..."

"Do you want me to leave now?" If the decision was left to him, he would never leave at all. Perhaps he was masochistic? Whatever. It didn't matter. He was selfish enough to want her and screw Raul over if it meant he could be with her.

Katherine's cheeks went a little red as she realized exactly what she had been saying, exactly what cords had snapped in her mind. "I... uh..." She studdered, looking down at the ground and loosening up her grip on him. Why exactly had these words been spoken in the first place? She didn't like him in that way, and yet here she was, as if taken over by some alternate side of herself, begging him not to leave. What was worse was the fact that he'd just put her through all kinds of hell in the past fourty six hours. "Kisshu, I... don't want you to go..."

His eyes softened. How he wished she meant the words the way hat he longed to hear them. "Then I'll stay, Katherine. But he won't be happy." He continued to stroke her velvet soft hair as he spoke. The poor thing must be suffering so entirely if she was asking him to stay now.

"I don't care about Raul... He's been keeping me at bay from everyone since Mom died..." She said, biting her lip.
Raul approached the two slowly, placing a heavy hand on his little sister's shoulder. "Kisshu, was it?" He asked, softly. "Look, I... I wanted to appologize. What you did wasn't right, and I know that you can sense why I was so overwhelmed, but... You did help her out afterwords, and for that I owe you my life."

Kisshu shook his head at the man. "You don't owe me anything. I told you man, she changes you." He offered Raul his hand. "Start over?"
Why was he going so soft for these humans? They were so fragile; he could easily destroy them if he wished. So why didn't he wish to anymore? How had she taken hold of him like this? How could she let herself in and shake the system without him being able to stop her? It hurt...it hurt like hell.

Raul smiled at him, still unconvinced of the phenomenon taking place before his eyes. This young man had a thing for his sister. A very vibrant "thing." He took a tight grip on the young man's hand, suprised by the heatless touch his hand posessed.
"Start over. My name is Raul Mason. It's very nice to meet you."
Katherine smiled a huge smile, content that the two had decided to form a truce.

"My name's Kisshu. Sorry for stalking your sister." Kisshu nodded to the man.
Why did he feel so comfortable in their presence? He shouldn't feel at home like this! It was wrong! All wrong! His mind was tearing itself apart at the seams. Where was his loyalty? What about his people? What was he becoming? What was she doing to him?

Raul's eyebrow twitched as the words 'stalking your sister' poured from the young man's lips. "Right, of course. Just as long as you appologized, I guess." He wanted to beat the shit out of this guy solely for this reason, but as long as he was being civil, there was no reason to attack him.
Katherine clapped her hands together grinning. "Okay, then! Let's give Kish the grand tour, eh, Nii-Chan?"
"Of course, of course."

"Grand tour?" Kisshu cocked his eyebrow. "Kish? Humans are weird..." He finally sighed. But she was grinning...at least that alleviated the pain a bit.
Still...he was losing sight of who he was. Ichigo had never confused him like this...Katherine made his head spin.

Katherine linked into his arm again, tugging him up the mossy stairs. "Be careful, this place is really old, and Captain Lazy Ass over there won't hose down the steps or scrape away the moss. It's kind of slippery."
Raul followed close behind, keeping a tense eye on the back of this guy's head. Just what the hell was he anyway?
Katherine threw open the sliding, old fashioned door and kicked off her shoes at the entryway. "This is our 'Grand Hall.'"
It wasn't very grand. Actually, it was just a long hallway with an exit at the side and steps at the end. There were various tapestries hanging on the walls left behind by the resteraunt owners.

Kisshu looked around. "This is where you live?" He liked the moss on the steps. It was just a sign that the earth still lived on, ever present in this terrible world. "It has charm."

Katherine didn't even pause, she just tugged him around the house, clearly pleased with being able to show it off. "Let see... The family room... Our enourmous kitchen... Bathroom A..."
She let go of his arm and bolted for the stairs, stopping in a dead run so that her socks let her slide across the floor. "Come on, up here!"
"Keep your door open, Katherine," Raul said, sharply.

Kisshu was confused by the warning tone in Raul's voice, but he followed Katherine regardless.
Why did this place feel like home?

Katherine grabbed lightly on to his hand and opened up one of the many doors. "And this is my bedroom."
It was rather large, considering it had once belonged to an extremely large franchise. There was a queen sized bed in the corner, serving as a resting place for what looked to be a tattered violin case. There was practically zero dry wall, because three of the four were nothing but white book shelves stacked all the way to the last crevace with novels, and one was completely covered with various pictures of a family of four.
"Pretty neat, huh?"

He nodded. "It has personality." His own room was rather empty. He hadn't felt like decorating. He didn't want to put anything into such a dreadful place. At least, not a part of himself.
He watched her; she looked so happy. How he wished that she would be happy because she loved him. He knew however, that it would never be the case. He was unlovable, a fact that he was going to have to face sooner or later.

Katherine looked to Kisshu, rather pleased with his comment. She giggled. "You think so?" She asked. Although, when she noticed his displeased look, her smile faded away to a bit of confusion. "H-Hey... Are you okay? What's the matter?"

Kisshu inwardly hit himself. He had slipped up somehow. "N-nothing...I was just thinking about how empty mine is...maybe I should decorate it?" He didn't want her to know his tortured thoughts. They would only pain her.

Katherine could see it in his eyes, finally coming to the realization that, regardless of this appology, this young man was still incredibly hurt on the inside. Why else would he have chased her down so desperately? Why else would he have helped her out after such a frequent meltdown? There was something constantly tearing at his insides that he refused to express.
She moved quickly across the room, lightly wrapping her arms around his neck. Inhaling, she smiled. His smell was so unusual... so inhuman... It reminded her of a sort of musk, but at the same time, there was a lovely mix of juniper mixed in. The smell was so otherworldly...
"Kish... Tell me what's the matter..."

She wrapped her arms around his neck and he wanted to die. She just had no clue what she did to him, did she? this happy and friendly Katherine should have filled him with joy, but instead it hurt to know that he could never bring her the sort of joy that he longed to. He wanted to press her lips to his, desperately, hoping that maybe then he would get his feelings across, but he promised he wouldn't toy with her anymore. It would make her unhappy if he kissed her.
"It's nothing Katherine. Please...save your concern for someone who deserves it..." He hadn't meant to say the last part of that sentence out loud.

Katherine lightly shut her eyes, a damp feeling suddenly filling up her chest. This wasn't right... Why was he in such a bad mood all of the sudden? Had she done something to upset him? Regardless, she merely rested her chin on his shoulder and held on to him tighter, the soft, sisterly smile never leaving her face.
"Don't say things like that," Katherine whispered, gently. She moved her arms up closer to his neck and buried her nose in her own sleeve. "What's on your mind that's making you spew such nonsense, hm?"
