[ The sudden commotion has Zero turning to look at him. ]

Are you okay? [ A tilt of his head. ] You don't look good

[ Didn't look good THE ONE THAT WASN'T GOOD WAS HIM! WHOEVER WAS STANDING IN FRONT OF HIM, THAT WAS-- ]

[ No, no, no. He couldn't panic. He remembered Yuuko and all of her teachings... and before he ended up here, he had just been starting to grant wishes himself... he had to be calm. He couldn't let Zero know that... ]

[ Hell... he didn't even know what he saw! ]

Using my powers takes a bit out of me. [ He'd play it off because gods... telling him what he saw without a proper conclusion was not something he wanted to do. He straightened himself up, shaking out whatever he had still lingering on him. Another breath, and... ]

I did see something, though. A few things. [ Watanuki looked around, making sure they still had privacy. His eyes returned to him. ]

I saw some of your past. I know you don't remember, but I saw a few things that might help you.

...Will you come inside? If you're not feeling well, you probably need to sit while we speak.

[ His eyes catch a glimpse of a truth hidden in words. He doesn't know what it is, but it's there. Underneath the surface. He knows it like he knows-- ]

I'm not the one who needs to sit down.

Don't give me sass. [ He huffs a bit, crossing his arms. ] This is really important!

Come inside, okay? [ He starts taking a few steps into the temple, giving him a wave. ]

[ He doesn't budge. ]

You can tell me here.

Seriously? [ There's a frustrated noise, but he goes to the wall of his temple, leaning against it. ] Fine.

[ Another breath. He looks the other over critically. Really, how should he approach this... ]

I'll... there's not really any other way to say this.

What I saw... I thought this was the case, but I'm 100% percent certain now.

You're not human.

.........

[ Not human.

Somehow the shock of it barely registers on his face. After speaking with the others, he had suspected as much.]

What am I?

[ At that, Watanuki shook his head. ]

I don't know. I saw some things: characteristics of speed and abnormal strength... but that could be a lot of things. You could be a demon, a werewolf, a vampire, or even something less tangible, like a spirit or ghoul, but...

I didn't get to see much. Your mind kicked me out before I saw too much... but... [ Well, there was always a but. ]

May I see your neck?

[ Another list of creatures. People kept throwing them at him making him wonder if what he was--is truly made it into one of them. ]

Go ahead.

[ He nodded at the permission. He moved back over to him, closer this time, and after a moment of hesitation, deft fingers moved to loosen up the silver-haired man's collar, and-- ]

[ There it was. That strange tattoo he had seen, but before it had been covered in awful, violent scratches and smeared in blood. There's a faint huff of breath, but... wait... ]

[ His brows furrow. Zero had a torn up neck but... ]

...No scars? [ He questioned out loud. A hand came up, and a thumb very tenderly rubbed across the skin, over the tattoo. ] I...

I saw your neck had been scratched up, but it looks okay now. [ A pause. ] Does this hurt you at all?

[ He watches him closely, and when he runs his thumb across the mark, Zero captures it with his hand. ]

No.

[ Warning administered, he slowly lets go. ]

Scratched up, how?

[ Oh-- ]

[ He stills when Zero grabs him, going a little stiff, as if frightened. His body relaxes a bit, and he pulls his hands away slowly. ]

You had scratched it up. With your hands. [ He was pretty sure. ] So I was wondering if it had hurt.

[ But otherwise. ] When you arrived here... did you come with anything?

[ He see's it, the frightened look on his face and steps back. Though, he hardly has a chance of registering what it means before his next words have him turning furrowed brows on him. ]

I did it?

[ Confusion laces his words as he tries to understand what he's being told. It didn't make any sense. ]

Why would I?

Yes. Your hands were covered in blood.

[ Blood. Blood. And that man that had gotten shot--such a smile when his blood blossomed. And those pills--they'd turned blood red the moment they hit the water... ]

[ ...Was he a...? ]

You shot me with a gun. [ He'd start with that first. ]

[ His eyes snap up and he stills, body going rigid as the weight of the gun resting inside his jacket suddenly grows heavy. ]

...........

[ He's not looking at Zero at the moment, eyes turned away as he mulls things over in his head. ]

...I was walking, in the snow, and I found a gun. It was big and heavy, and covered in blood. When I picked it up, I met you, and you shot me. Everything was incredibly cold.

But I was able to see you again, after. That's when I saw you injured and bleeding, with your neck scratched up. [ He was being careful about what he was saying. He knew that a shinki finding out too much about themselves could be bad, potentially. He could lay everything up but he couldn't tell him anything and it was frustrating! ]

...Did you... come with any sort of medication? They should be white pills.

Pills......

[ Suddenly, the tension breaks and he pulls out a small silver case, slipping the top off with his fingers. ]

How did...

[ He know...? ]

[ His eyes slide from where tey weren't looking at Zero when he heard the gentle clatter of the pills. He nods his head. ]

Take one. [ Anther pause. ] Take two, actually. [ He would have suggested taking them with water, but... ]

[ He remembered how they hit the water, and everything turned red, looking like blood. Would that frighten him? Maybe... he should... ]

That's why I wanted you to come inside. [ He said slowly. ] Because I think...

...That you shouldn't take it plain. You really should put it in water. [ Not for it to be easier to take... no. In fact, he was certain they would be harder to take. But for Zero to see, for Zero to come up with his own conclusion, because if he was right, then... he couldn't tell him. He couldn't tell him. ] Or you can take one plain, and then put the second one in water.

...I... I'm sorry. I wish I could tell you more, but I'm unable to.

[ He grips the pills in his hands and he's suddenly rounding on him, the information too great for the Shinki to ignore. He's been given too much and already he's falling down a slippery slope. ]

What are you holding back?!

[ His mind clings to his words, searching for answers, memories. ]

Tell me!

I CAN'T! [ He finally snapped at him, and his voice was loud and robust, despite how lanky he was. ] Do you think I'm keeping shit from you because I want to?! Give me some more credit, dammit!

I'm not your god, I can't see everything like they probably can! And what I do know, what I'm pretty damn sure of, I can't tell you, because it will put you in danger! It would put your god in danger, too! [ Shit, if Zero felt guilty about shooting him, his god may have just gotten a good zap. Oh well. ]

If I was your god, it would be different, because it would be my choice f I told you something but, I...

It's not that easy.

You probably... don't even trust me as far as you could throw me. [ Maybe that was a bad example--it looked like Zero was pretty damn capable of throwing him far, with what he saw. ]

[ Zero doesn't give a damn about a god that rejected him since the start, especially when he's unaware of what his guilt did to him. Another vital piece of information denied to him, yet here another god stood in his way doing exactly the same. He was slipping, actively seeking memories denied to him. ]

You don't get to decide what to keep from me! They're my memories! My choice!

I don't care about the danger! I need to--

[ He staggered, a sudden sickness overtaking him, different from the hunger. He reached too much, slipped too far and now the Heaven's were punishing him for seeking that which had been taken. ]
