Kawanua takes a seat near the end of the row. He remains quiet, merely observing everyone until the briefing begins. He remains quiet, watching the pictures intensly. Eyeing out everything, every dot every grain of sand, every pillar. Placing them into his long term memory. Along with the long remembered battle he some how got himself caught in a long time ago. When the speaker introduces the
Elite Strike Force, kawanua slides down slightly in his chair. He didn't want this cheering towards him. He was rather ashamed of himself. He neither blushed nor replied to the cheers and respects.
Shenba on hte other hand became intoxicated with the images of the storms. The temples the twisted buildings surged through her mind spewing forth a banished feeling of daemonic esctasy. She tightens her grip on the arm rests. her fingers digging into the material. Smoke beginning to waver from the holes. She clenches her teeth trying to keep her exitement back and hidden. She hasn't felt like this in a while. She wants it, wants it all. To slaughter everything around her. Be drenched in her victims blood as she ripped their still beating hearts from their bodies. The sudden cheering snaps her out of this daemon trance. she looks almost dazed, her fingers finally releasing their tight grip on the now deformed arm rests. She lowers her head in a small moment of shame.
" I don't think I can go in there "
Kawanua noticing her unusual reactions leans over to whsiper to her.
" Why? You didn't come from there, how can it be affecting you? "
Shenba looks up at Kawanua, looking right into his eyes. They reflected his image, telling him many things. She looks back down to her feet. her hands clasped together and gently laying on her thighs.
" Because. I've been away from Inferno too long. I'm begining to lose control. "
Kawanua backs away slightly, he's always been her friend saving her from when she was almost dragged back to Inferno.
" I thought you rid yourself of that. " He eyes Shenba in a suspicious state. " Or have you been hiding it.
" I... I thought I did. But it seems it was merely buried. "
Kawanua leans over, putting his arm around her pulling her close to him.
" Come on your stronger than that. You beat it before you can do it again. "
Shenba now feeling more comforted with kawanua holding her sighs slightly.
" And if i can't? Will you kill me? " She leans her head on Kawanua's chest, letting his slow heart beat sooth her racing heart.
" Then I will find another way, like I did the last time "
The world seemed silent around them they both neither heard anything nor saw, Shenba remained quiet, her eyes now closed. Kawanua leaning his head on hers held her close thinking to himself.
My Heart belongs to one woman, and only she can cure the burden that i carry within me.
