The familiarity about him had faded - Itachi was older now, older all over. She could see the age in his eyes, bottomless ruby, tarnished forever by the blood of sins he had committed and had yet to commit. Perhaps it was a curse he suffered, but what then of her fate? Was she doomed to seek him in the opens skies, until her body wasted clean away?
The hesitant touch temporarily made her stiffen, but he was not Samael, and she had welcomed his touch once. Needy, she would again. The pain made it so. Arms enveloped the crumpled angel, and listless, she allowed herself to be so gently held in limbs that new slaughter and cruelty. She was at his mercy, but hadn't she always been? The girl had spun her web about him, and now they were snared together in it. He wouldn't hurt her, not right now. There wasn't anything left of her that had not already been hurt.
The warmth of that deceptively pure pelt seeped into her, venomous. Drugged by him, she felt the shock recede enough to allow the gathering of tears, glittering jewels that slid down her cheek in a parody of the trickle of blood. "Everywhere," Came the wavering voice, as head tried to bury itself into plush gold. The night was all around her, but he was a creature crafted from its shadows, and he could protect her from the fear.
Childish in her terror and pain, the girl whimpered, slight movements causing a shooting pain from her left ankle. "Take me home," She moaned pitifully, not wanting to be seen by that hateful moon any longer. There was no set destination in her mind, but home sounded like such a safe place, and she wanted to be there immediately.
