It had been a little while since she'd done it. A few days, maybe. She had thought she would be able to resist it if she chose to, because she felt that smelling the wonder-powder was a choice. But the same day that she'd decided to try and quit it she had discovered an all new drug, one that was injected into the system. She had syringes and needles a-plenty, being a doctor. She hadn't ever used them much, not knowing what to inject into someone, but she'd had them around just in case. Naniko knew that the human had used them with certain drugs. She just hadn't run across any of those medicines in the city yet.
The girl had thought that she'd gotten as high as she could possibly get the last time she had smelled her powder, but this injectable drug was sweeter; it brought her to all new levels, gave her that feeling all over again. Like the very first time she'd ever used the powder. Today she was going to try an experiment, try combining the effects of both of them at the same time to see what happened. She had decided that she was off the powder, had wanted to stop...but now she wasn't interested in stopping any more. She wasn't hurting anyone, doing this...and as long as no one else really knew, why did it matter? She tried to stay downstairs whenever she was high or whenever Sabeen came over. Her addicted friend came by often.
Naniko sat back afterwards, closing her eyes. Small spots of light danced behind her eyelids and her fingers rubbed methodically along the fabric of the easy chair that she was sitting in. Back and forth, back and forth. It was so good. She'd tossed the syringe onto the floor (she would boil it later to clean it) and put the powder back in the bag, but a small amount of it still clung to her nose.
