Can Shinki get sick?

[ A seemingly simple question, but one that's been clawing at him for days. The symptoms have become too painful to ignore, so he bites his tongue and seeks answers because unknown to him, his bloodlust has begun to manifest. ]

[ He instantly appeared in front of him and smacked the bottle away with a single blow. They were a farce substitute to the real thing and the Hunter had been holding back for far too long. Longer than he should have. But wasn't that always the case? He held back. He was so good at it that he drove himself apart, blocking out his heart and in the process giving him free reign to it. It fed on his emotions, and with no one to keep it in check, it slowly twisted them, influencing the man so that little by little he started to succumb to the insidious whisper. Then his brother happened. That shard the beast secretly tried to devour had repelled him every time until the Hunter finally noticed his other half and made him finally accept his hunger. The beast. But that shard was gone now and Zero had reverted back once again making him rage inside, waiting until the day the hunter finally broke and now... ]

Why don't you run?

[ He took a step toward him. ]

It's always better when they run.

Because I'm... [ He had it. ] I'm not scared of you!

You'll be the one running! [ That was it. Only one choice now. And if he was right, then... ]

[ Watanuki had a feeling this would be a mistake... or it could work, either way Something was going to happen. With that, he lifted up his hand... ]

[ And he bit his thumb, hard. He wanted to yelp in pain, but his mouth was full of flesh. And now-- ]

[ Blood. ]

[ The blood of a god was a grand thing indeed rivaling that of a Pureblood and the vampire welcomed it but it was a double edged sword. The scent cut through him so sharply that it snapped the Hunter out of his reprieve and clawed at it the moment he let down his guard to partake on the feast laid out for him. His tattoo suddenly glowed and Zero staggered back, hand clutching at his throat as the scent of the blood coalesced around him. ]

Stay Away!

[ He clawed at his head, as he gasped for breath, and fought against his instincts, against the beast and hungry as he was, Zero wasn't so far gone to lose the battle this round. With great effort, he slammed the beast back in its cage and leashed it in the dark before it had a chance to taste the blood that clung to him, luring him in so soundly it frightened him to his core.]

[ It worked! ]

[ Watanuki jammed his thumb into his mouth, sucking away the blood. In the same motion, he reared back his foot, kicking the box of blood tablets that had fallen to the ground over to Zero, the metal tin spinning right in front of the other as it traveled across concrete. ]

Take them! Now!

[Instincts from forgotten memories had him grabbing the case and doing as he was told. ]

[ He could feel his breathing start to come down, his now pinkened skin from panting and screaming beginning to become white again. Mismatched eyes watched Zero carefully. He pulled his thumb from out of his mouth. It was throbbing in pain. ]

[ He didn't speak. Watanuki remained silent as he watched Zero down the strange white pills that had turned into blood in water. ]

[ He gulped them down, and felt the edges of madness begin to disperse leaving him drained and tired, but sane. Himself. He remained like this for a full minute until his eyes suddenly shifted to the god, cold in their assessment. ]

......

[ He knew. What he was, what the pills did. How they worked. What else did he know? What more had he seen?!

He stayed quiet knowing he would not tell him. What had he expected from one of them. Gods who kept them enslaved in the most cruelest way possible - denying them their very identity.

He stood. ]

[ They had worked. He watched with an open expression as Zero slowly came down from... whatever he had been. Certain now. He was certain, but... ]

[ He didn't move from where he sat on the ground. He bit his bottom lip for a moment, then-- ]

...Zero-san. [ Hesitance. ] I'm sorry I couldn't tell you. But...

Do you... understand what you are, now?

[ Zero knew nothing of what had woken him from his reprieve. The only thing he knew was that the pills, the ones he had on him when he first woke in this place worked. Whatever they did, however they functioned, they worked. It was the only thing he gleamed from this experience and the rest... the rest were words meant to taunt. He couldn't remember, so how could he understand what he was when he wouldn't tell him! ]

You... and the other gods, you really are incapable of understanding the loss we've been forced to endure for you, can you?

[ With a heart filled with ice, Zero turned his back on him and his temple and left. ]

[ That was an unfair assumption. But Watanuki didn't say anything, just remained sitting, watching him go. Oh well. ]

[ He'd done all he could, for now, anyway. Now all he could do was hope that Zero had learned at leas how to control that terrible feeling inside of him, and, if it happened again-- ]

[ And what if the pills ran out? He had some ideas. He knew someone who could perhaps give him more, but, but... ]

[ ... Even if he hated him, he'd still help in any way he could. Him being mad wouldn't stop him. After all... ]

[ He was the God of Compassion, right? ]

[ Watanuki just remained sitting, watching until the rogue shinki disappeared from sight. ]
