In a cataclysm known as the Nightfall, the worlds were almost completely destroyed by a harrowing surge of darkness.
In the shadows of the ensuing chaos a new group has taken shape. Led by an Aegyl named Kalos, the 11th Hour touts an esoteric knowledge of how to combat the darkness and restore the worlds. They might be the worlds’ best chance at survival; but nobody really knows enough about them to confirm or deny their claims.
On the brink of collapse, the universe holds its breath in anticipation. Of restoration? Of destruction? It is up to individuals like yourself to decide.

Shun was absolutely clueless as well. He would sincerely prefer to leave the world and board that cozy, warm Gummi Ship again. However, he was sure that a summon was hiding in Halloween Town, and he wasn't leaving before finding it. He looked at the woods, and was able to see a large... crater at the end. Maybe the summon was there!
"Well... I don't really know."
An excuse, an excuse, an excuse. He needed to find an excuse so they could go into the woods. His mind suddenly darted off into the past, when he met Doogie at Traverse Town. They had been looking for the Heart of the World, which turned out to be nonexistence. Just an urban legend.
"How about we look for this place's heart? I have been thinking... maybe Traverse Town is made of all the destroyed worlds? Maybe that's why all of us people who lose their worlds end up there." Well, that was certainly a good theory, and Shun had just created it by improvising! "Come on! Maybe it's inside the woods!" The summoner managed to grab Doogie's arm before darting off, fortunately dragging him along.
The World's Heart. That would be a great thing to find! But...Traverse Town's supposed "Heart" turned out to be an urban legend...But what Shun's sayin kinda makes sense...BUT! If Traverse Town was made up of the destroyed worlds, why does it appear to be it's own world, and not just broken pieces of different, random worlds? Hmm...
"Shun, I don't think that Traverse Town is made of--GAH!" And with that noise, Shun ignored Doogie's comment, and grabbed his arm, and pulled him into the woods by darting off. As they slowed, Doogie was looking around the woods in wonder, having never seen a wood so creepy, and dark before. He was so concentrated on the woods that he didn't notice that Shun let go of his arm.
On the ground there were Jack-O-Lantern pumkins, and around them were creepy trees that looked as if their branches were going to move, and grab you from behind, and pull you away so that you were raped never heard from again.
But, even in all these things, Doogie wasn't that worried. Beside him he had a friend. A stronghold. Someone that would help defend him were he to get in trouble. Someone that he would fight alongside were anyone or anything to jump out, and start fighting them. So, he decided that he would be strong for Shun. He wouldn't let Shun see that he was scared. He was going to be just as enthusiastic about looking for the Heart of the world as Shun was.
"So, do you have any guesses as to where in these woods the Heart of this World is? I wouldn't have guessed in here..." he said as he looked longingly toward the town. What am I thinking?! I'm not going to be afraid, right?
"But then again, what do I know? This is a new world, who's to say it isn't in here, right? Let's go. Hmm, I wonder what's in that big crater like thing?" He said in wonder as they walked closer to the "crater". Almost subconsiously, he stepped closer to Shun, trying to be as close as he could without being in the way. Cause whether he wanted to be strong or not was no longer helping. He was scared.
Psh, was Doogie scared? Well, in that case Shun was terrified. Sure, the woods looked happy and cute and innocent on the outside, and he was hoping that everything inside would smiles, glitter and sparkles, but no! They turned out to be the usual scary, ugly, terrifying woods, falling under the stereotype of "Woods ready to rape scare young teens."
He suddenly slowed down, unconsciously releasing Doogie from his grasp. Scared and widened eyes looked around as the boy slightly shaked from cold and fear. "God! What have I gotten myself into?!" Shun slowly walked aimlessly, accidently bumping into something.
"AHH!" he shouted, staring at the creepy looking pumpkin. He jumped backwards, bumping into Doogie before losing his balance and falling over him. "S-sorry... are you ok? he sheepishly said, immediately standing up.
"M-maybe the Heart of the World is in that crater? Or was... maybe that's why this world is so barren and scary..." he started to move toward the crater with haste, fear not giving him a chance for wait for Doogie. And before the the drawer probably stood up, he would be gone.
Doogie heard Shun yell in fright, and suddenly, he was knocked over, and had a Shun on top of him. "Oww!" he exclaimed as his head hit a rock on the ground. As Shun got off of him, he sat up and rubbed his head.
Y-Yea, I'm ok. My head hurts now...but it isn't anything a little time won't take care of..." he said as he stood up, looking around. "...Shun? Shun? Where are you? Oh god, where could he have gone? I'm...scared!" Shun was nowhere to be seen. He could have gone anywhere! He's not anywhere where I can see him! What happened to him?! He could have been s--No. I need to think. Let's see...the last thing he was talking about was...
"M-maybe the Heart of the World is in that crater? Or was... maybe that's why this world is so barren and scary..."[/b][/i]
So, Shun had to have gone off toward the crater thing...That's my best guess for now! I should go there, and see what I can find...hopefully he's there... he thought as he looked around, got direction oriented, and set off toward the crater.
Several steps later after what seemed like hours, but was probably only a couple minutes at the most, Doogie came to what appeared to be an exit of the woods! And as Doogie dashed through the exit, in the middle, Doogie saw Shun! Yay! I found him! Wait...what's he doing?! He's...fighting the tree...? There are Heartless! he thought as he dashed over to help his friend.
As he was dashing over there, he grabbed his notebook, and finished a few hasty lines of one of his drawing. Drakkar, the only dragon in his notebook, appeared next to him. A 7-foot tall, green dragon that had the ability to breathe fire, and fly. He was able to attack with his fire, his claws, his jaws, and his tail. He was what Doogie thought this fight needed.
"Drakkar! Attack the Heartless! I'll help Shun with the tree!" he yelled to his dragon friend. "Shun! Why're we fighting a tree?!" he exclaimed as he swung his unsheathed sword at a tree branch that came swinging at him.
After a while, Shun had reached one of the woods' many exits, entering the gigantic crater. "Let's look,"[/color] he began, stepping forward. It looked kinda barren, much like the rest of Halloween Town. He glanced at the floor as he walked, attempting to find perhaps something buried. After a few seconds he almost reached the center of the crater, when he noticed that the center's dirt was a bit more elevated than the rest of the crater's.
"Strange... I wonder..." He tried to break the pattern, but he couldn't. It seemed as if it was magically protected. Following the lines, he realized that the magical piece of land had the shape of a keyhole. A keyhole... revealing the Heart of the World? Was it possible? He had to tell Doogie about this...
~~~~~
In a cloud of eternal darkness, it appeared, yellow eyes glancing around. Who had dared to awaken it? But, oh my, what was the Possessor sensing? A delicious and scrumptious heart. Wait, it wasn't a regular delicious and scrumptious heart... it was a child's delicious and scrumptious heart! Oh, a wonderful snack for the evening. Unfortunately, it couldn't do much alone. The Possessor was cursed with low power on its own, and it required a vessel to unleash its true potential. Oh well, a tree would certainly do.
The Heartless floated around, looking for the perfect plant. All of them seemed as weak as him, and the mindless Heartless appearantly wouldn't find... AHA! That brain tree would surely serve him well. And of it was, gliding straight toward the tree, colliding with it and starting the fusion. Hehe, delicious heart, his would be.
~~~~~
Pum! Pum! Pum! Pum!
Snapping out of his thoughts, Shun glanced around looking for the source of the noise. His eyes narrowed, scanning the woods for any unwanted visitors. He had had his fine share of Heartless that day, and he wasn't planning on having another bite. The sound continued, and it was comming closer and closer to him. He opened the Book of Memories, this time a defensive stance. Suddenly, he noticed a rather big shadow in front of him, similar to a tr-
"RAWR!"
((Boss Battle:Shun vs. Possessed Brain Tree))
Shun quickly turned around, his eyes widening upon seeing the living tree. Oh god, OH GOD. He started walking backwards as he quickly dashed through his summons. "Libri quod citatus, citatus quod libri; audite nostrum voluptarius quod iuguolo suum furta. Validus niveus proeliator, vindico suum sins; haud Heartless can reluctor, vox of Sin!" he quickly muttered, the book disappearing in a flash of light once more. A man fully dressed in white armor faced the Possessed Brain Tree, and started to slash him with his sword. The pink-leaved tree glared at Sin with furious crimson eyes, using its brainish branches to attempt to wrap the warrior.
~~~~~
Glaring mischeviously at the white warrior, the Possessed Brain Tree managed to take a hold of the warrior, slowly crushing him. Hmm, he was stronger than it had initially thought. The youngster looked at him with terrified eyes, shouting healing incantations at the warrior. Its fate was sealed, the boy would run out of mana and the tree would be able to devour two hearts...
Suddenly, it sensed another heart approaching the crater. Blah, the Heartless was too busy with two people to pay attention to a third. It released the white warrior before summoning a dozen of Trick Ghosts to aid him. However, as soon as he planned to continue the man's torturing session, he noticed another hume was running toward him! It sent a brain branch toward it, but the boy only cut it in half!
~~~~~
Shun quickly turned around, finding a running Doogie comming toward him, ready to aid him. "Doogie!"[/b] he exclaimed, quite surprised to see he had caught up so quickly with him. He turned back to the Brain Tree, only to see it had returned to its inanimated forme. A small orb of darkness circled around them, moving rather quickly as Sin attempted to hit it.
Unfortunately, the Possessor collided once again with the Brain Tree, possessing it once more. He sent a couple of branches toward Doogie to hit him with full force while he used another two to wrap both Sin and Shun, attempting to choke them to death.
Doogie was still running full speed toward Shun even after the tree turned to its inanimated forme. Doogie didn't even really notice the black ball-o'-doom that had floated away from the tree, and then popped back in. Once the Possessor collided with the Possessed Brain Tree, Shun and Sin were wrapped with branches, and Doogie was hit head on by two branches. One swept his feet out from under him, and made him fall foward, while the other swung at from right under him as he was falling forward, launching him into the air.
"Gah! AHH!!" he yelled as the branches hit him, then launched him into the air. He landed on top of the waving tentacles that were being used to try and kill the two summoners and the two summons. As Doogie landed ontop of the tree, he luckily still had his sword in his hand. So he stabbed downward after being able to stand up shakily. He repeatedly stabbed the "branches", attempting to hurt, or kill the monster that was attacking his friends.
While Doogie was stabbing "branches", Drakkar, his dragon friend was dealing with the Trick Ghosts biting a couple of them, and then throwing them to the ground. The next couple, he burned to a crisp by sending a few fireballs launched at them. As he took care of those four, a couple that he didn't see came up behind him, and attacked him from behind, and clawed at him, making him bleed a little bit. Two more came from his sides, and grabbed his wings, picking him up, and making him float up 10-20 feet off of the ground, then clawing his wings, making him unable to fly, and disappearing in a burst of yellow light. "Rawr!" he cried at he hit the ground.
Drakkar[/b] looked off to the side and saw three more Trick Ghosts and sent several burst of fire at them. That took out 7 of the 12. Only 5 more. And two of those five appeared behind him, again clawing at him. And to take care of those, he swung his tail by turning around, and then bit at one, and then jumped on the other, crushing them both. 9 down.
Suddenly after Doogie stabbed one of the branches, Shun was dropped to the ground as the tree shrieked in pain. "Shun! CURE!" he yelled, aiming the spell at not himself, but at his best friend. After suddenly realizing that his hasty stab had made the tree release his friend, he stabbed the branch next to the current one and Sin was dropped to the ground.
With another horrible shriek, the Possessed Brain Tree took on its inanimated form once more as the black ball-o'-doom, otherwise known as the Possessor floated around again. Doogie dropped to the ground, yelling, "THUNDERA!" aiming at both the tree and the Possessor, but mainly the Possessor. He ran at the Possessor swinging his sword, at it.
He didn't manage to get the hit, but it looked weak, bobbing up and down, and in zig-zagging patterns, obviously tired. And, it was right next to Shun, only needing another hit or two.
Strongly wrapped by a brain tentacle, Shun suddenly felt great pain. This thing was... it was trying to break him in half! He winced, glancing sideways to look at his warrior summon. Sin seemed to be suffering as well but fortunately he was stronger than Shun. Both were trying to shake themselves free without success. "AHHH!" The tentacle had released a burst of electricity, injuring Shun´s back. The Heartless intended to play with its food for a while.
Suddenly, the pain began to disappear, peace invading his body once again. The boy slowly closed his eyes, the sounds morphing into a deafening silence. Was this the end of his journey? Was he going to die? He struggled to breathe, preparing himself for Hades´s cold grasp...
"Shun! CURE!"
All the sudden, he felt the pressure around him vanish moments before hitting something cold to the touch. He slightly opened an eye, caughting a glimpse of Doogie hitting the Possessed Brain Tree. He heard a low growl of pain: Sin.
"Your work is done... Sin."
The weakened warrior disappeared in a flash of light, and Shun didn´t feel any energy returning to him. After all, Sin had been defeated. The summoner crawled with some difficulty, managing to reach and open the Book of Memories. If the Possessor used the tree again, both Doogie and him would probably be dead. A weak sigh escaped his lips. He had to do what he had to do.
"Parvulus of vis, sino haud magis. Adeo mihi, EGO vadum solvo vos ex vestri torqueo!"* An orange aura surrounded the unanimated tree as it began to vanish. The book brighly glowed, and another page had been filled. Shun looked up, a smile gracing his features as he spoke.
"Good luck... Doogie."
((*="Child of nature, suffer no more. Come to me, I shall free you from your torment!"))
Doogie saw Drakkar take care of the last 3 Trick Ghosts with extreme ease, with just a few swiped of his tail, and his claws, and a fireball launched at another. But, even though they were taken down with ease, Drakkar[/color] was still very injured. Doogie used his power to summon the dragon back into the notebook, and Doogie felt a little added weight as his notebook appeared in his bag.
Then in a flash of orange light, Doogie saw the inanimated tree diappear after Shun said something in a different language. Then he heard something that he hoped he would never hear his friend say again.
"Good luck... Doogie."[/i][/color]
This could only mean one thing. His friend was severely hurt! Doogie looked around, and only saw the black Possessor floating around without a vessel, and his friend on the ground. There were only two things for him to do. First, kill the Possessor after yelling a cure spell for Shun, and then take care of Shun. It would be usesless for him to heal Shun only for the Possessor to find another vessel, and kill them both! Shun...don't die on me...I need you... he thought to himself.
And so, he ran at the Possessor sword high in the air. Letting out a terrible battle cry, Doogie ran at the Possessor, jumping in the air, and stabbing downward, piercing the Possessor as it disappeared into a puff of black smoke. Realizing that the battle was over, Doogie rushed over to Shun, abandoning his sword. He got over to him, and fell to the ground, now on his knees, he held Shun in his arms, and said "Cure! Shun...are you OK? Don't die on me...I don't know what I would do..."
Doogie was able to tell that the back of Shun's shirt was soaked in blood. "Oh god Shun, we've got to get you healed up...Let's get this shirt off of you so that I can take a look at your wound...Oh god, don't die..." he said as he cut open Shun's shirt with his dagger. He then reached into his bag, and pulled out a Potion, and his notebook.
With his notebook, he hastily drew the last line for his Sorceress Nurse, feeling a little bit of his energy go away as the Sorceress appeared next to him. Then, Doogie opened the potion, and tried to make Shun drink it, extremely worried about his injury. "Shun...be OK...please...be OK..." he said as he stroked his hair, and kissed his forehead, a tear rolling down his cheek, and splashing onto Shun's face. "You cannot die on me...you just can't.."
As Doogie ran to finish off the Possessor, the younger boy tried to stay conscious a few more minutes. He couldn´t. Watching his friend rushing to save him, he closed his eyes, sleeping at last. Fortunately, Doogie has casted a cure spell on him, returning some energy to him. Regardless, the boy remained unconscious for the time being... unless the healing process continued, which would make him suffer certain... side-effects.
Now shirtless, Shun managed to drink most of the potion, stabilizing his health condition for a few hours. That big wound on his back still needed to be treated before it got infected. Or he would eventually died, as they couldn´t cut his back off him. Unfortunately, Doogie was no doctor, and he was rushing everything to see the boy´s health flourish once again. That small tear had set off the bomb.
Shun suddenly open his eyes, trying to grasp some air inside his lungs. He coughed, fortunately without spitting any blood. He looked a bit disoriented, as if he didn´t remember where he was. Looking up, his eyes widened. He had remembered! ...Right?
"Back in the arms of my angel, back to the peace that I so love." he weakly sang, a beautiful song escaping his lips. Was he mad? No, he wasn´t crazy, not even a bit. "Back in the arms of my angel I can finally rest, giving you a gift that you remind me."
An innocent smile graced his features as he played the melody in his mind. He looked at the dark night sky, where the stars twinkled upon both of them as they heard his melody. "Angel of mine, let me thank you-" The summoner suddenly stopped, the joy in his face turning into fear and grief. His eyes stared deep into Doogie´s, and it seemed as if he was looking at another person.
"B-but Ilana... I´m not allowed to have chocolate before dinner!"[/b]
His eyes dramatically rolled as he collapsed on his friend´s arms, unconscious once again.
((...I believe this deserves a good O.O and a good "WTF?" xDD))
Doogie was able to get Shun to drink the potion, and the Sorceress Nurse had started healing his back with her extensive knowledge of healing spells, and healing techniques. But, as Doogie sat there with his friend's head in his lap, stroking his hair, crying, Shun opened his eyes and gasped, and Doogie's heart skipped a beat.
"Shun? ...You ok buddy?" he said as Shun looked around confusedly. Then the oddest thing happened...Shun started singing! It was a song that Doogie had never heard before, but sounded nice, even though Shun's voice was shaky, and it was a little too high for him. Doogie could tell that it was a beautiful song, but he was still unnerved when his friend started singing it.
Then Shun smiled, and started another line of the song, and stopped and had the most scared look he had ever had that Doogie had seen.
"Shun?! What's wrong?" Doogie's heart skipped a beat once more as he worried until Shun said the most senseless, random thing that had ever come out of his mouth.
"B-but Ilana... I'm not allowed to have chocolate before dinner!"[/b][/i] And with that, Shun's eyes rolled back in his head as he collapsed into Doogie's arms. Oh God, oh God! ...he needs to get somewhere safer...Heartless could pop up any minute! The Doogie remembered his teletransporter that allowed him to transport him and anyone touching him into his Gummi Ship.
So, he stood up, and picked up Shun, making sure not to put pressure on the huge injury on his back, and making sure that Shun was held securely in his arms when he looked at the Sorceress Nurse and said, "Mkay, in my bag is a teletransporter that will allow us to all transport into my Gummi Ship as long as you're touching me. So, just get out the thing with a big red button on it, and make sure that you're holding onto my arm, and then just press the red button. ...Shun, you'll be ok...we're going to the Gummi Ship...you'll be safe."
So, he kissed the top of Shun's head and felt yet another tear fall on his friend's face as the Sorceress Nurse pressed the button and they disappeared in a flash of white light and reappeared inside the Gummi Ship. As soon as they did, Doogie looked around, orienting himself, and then dashed over to the sofa that was in the ship, and sat down, and layed Shun down on it, making sure his feet were just barely over the edge so that his head was on Doogie's lap and his back wasn't touching the sofa.
"...He will be alright Nurse Joy...right?" he asked the Sorceress Nurse
"Oh yes, he will be. With my expertise, I don't see him having aaaany problem. He's just very exhausted right now, and really needs some rest...which, speaking of rest, you need some too! Why don't you just go on over to your bed or whatever, and go to sleep. I'll be here, and I'll take care of him." She replied with a sweet voice.
"No, I want to stay here...no, I need to stay here. If not for him, for me. I won't be able to sleep anyways since I don't know how he's doing. I'll just stay here and sleep here if I need to..." Doogie said worriedly. He stroked Shun's hair again hoping with all his heart that Shun was going to be ok...
He woke up in a daze, completely disoriented. Where was he? His body burned, his hands and legs were completely sore, and he had that damn headache. "Ughh.." He moaned, sitting on the couch where he had been sleeping for the past three hours. Lacking a shirt was the least of his concerns; his back felt like it had been broken in half. He tried to look at the wound, slightly touching it with his left hand. "Ahh.." he moaned upon making contact with his own skin.
It was pretty bad.
Shun turned around completely, noticing the older boy behind him. He was asleep, sitting next to him. The summoner then remembered what had happened: Doogie had probably saved and healed him after that encounter with the Brain Tree. The younger one had been too weak to fight it back, so he had instead absorbed the Heartless´ vessel with his book to make things easier for Doogie.
"Oh shit... the book..."
Where the hell was his book? Oh no... without it he was totally useless! "Fuck this, I need to get it back..." He started walking towards the teleporter in Doogie´s Gummi Ship when he noticed something liquid was coming out of his nose. He cleaned it with his right hand, tainting it with a crimson curse. A nosebleed.
Whatever, he would worry about that later. Shun stared at the buttons on the wall, wondering which one made what work. He had no idea what were the coordinates of the crater and he sincerely had no idea of how to teleport him back. However, his primary objective was to get the damn Book of Memories back... or else.
Doogie woke to see Shun up and over by the teletransporter. "Shun!! You're up?! I-I thought you wouldn't be up this quickily! W-What are you doing over there? You need to be resting!" Then, Doogie realized where he was.
"Shun?! What're you doing?!" And then, Doogie realized that he was probably wondering where his stuff was. That's what Doogie would first think of since his notebook contained all his summons.
"Don't worry, I have everything...trust me, okay?" Doogie was really hoping that Shun would believe him. And just incase he didn't, Doogie stood up, and walked over to Shun, and grabbed his arms softly, and started to lead him back to the couch.
"Come on, just lay down and rest. When you're feeling better, I'll let you show you your book. It's in my bag, but that's on the other side of the Gummi Ship."
...And before he knew it, Shun was being dragged back to the couch. He blinked, a hard and cold glare directed at the older boy. "No." The boy firmly stated, breaking himself loose from Doogie´s grip. He was clearly altered, worried and stressed. Couldn´t Doogie see that he needed the book?!
"I will NOT calm down. I will not "lay down and rest" until I have my book in my hands. Now, you go and get that book for me in this moment!"
Shun sighed, softening his gaze for a moment before lowering it. He frowned, shutting his eyes close as if wanting to trap his sudden anger inside. As he looked up once again, tears began to fill his eyes. He couldn´t... he just couldn´t keep pretending anymore.
"I... I´m sorry..."
And he was off, reaching Doogie and hugging him as he sobbed in his shoulder. Speak of emotional rollercoaster. But really, Shun felt sorry about the way he had just acted. After all, Doogie was his only friend. "I shouldn´t have ... *sob* ranted at you like that... *sob* It´s just that I... *sob*"
...And as quick as it took for Shun to be led back to the couch, he was out of Doogie's grip, and being all "Mean and serious Shun", demanding to have his book, and not wanting to rest, and being just all around mean. Couldn't Shun see that Doogie would have gotten the book, and that he had everything taken care of?
"Ok, fine. I'll show you where your book is, just, please calm down. Everything will be fine. You were almost killed out there, and you really need your rest.
Then, all of a sudden, Shun's mood changed completely. He went from glaring to almost crying. Doogie didn't want that at all! In fact, he wanted Shun to be happy! He wanted Shun to be healed up! He wanted for the two of them to go exploring the worlds and one of them not almost die! He wanted...well...
Then, before that thought could be finished, Doogie was hugged, and quite suddenly! Normally Doogie would have been stoked to get said hug, but now he was just worried because Shun was sobbing into his shoulder. So, trying to comfort his only friend, Doogie hugged him back, and stroked his hair, and rubbed his back, whispering assuring words whenever Shun would sob.
"Don't worry about it! You were just asleep for a while cause of a life-dangering injury!" And as Doogie waited for Shun to finish the last statement, Doogie realized...well, he hadn't said anything. But, he didn't want to push or prod...not at the moment anyway. "Come on buddy, I'll go get your book if you want me to, but you need to lay back down on the couch, 'kay? You don't need to be up with your back in the shape it's in..."
Doogie started leading his friend back to the couch, arm still around his shoulder, but them no longer hugging. "So, just let me know if you still want me to get your book..."
((I will eventually regret doing this so soon... but I can't think of anything else to post.))
Heat. Body heat.
Shun had felt some pain as Doogie rubbed his injured back, but at the same time he kinda liked it. He felt safe... and having his friend's hand stroking his hair reassured him. How could he be so stupid? Why had he gone off him like that? To be frank, Shun's emotional being was all mixed up and he knew it. The words, however, were fortunately calming him a bit. It was good to have Doogie around.
Shun began to walk toward the couch, wrapping his arm around Doogie's waist after the latter put his own around his shoulder. He still had a bit trouble walking, but it was a bit easier with Doogie's help. Soon they would reach the couch, and the summoner would sit down, dragging his friend with him.
"It's fine, Doogie... I'm sorry I shouted at you."
He wiped his red and puffy eyes with his arm, looking down at his feet. Shun wasn't sure of what to do now... in fact, he didn't know what exactly had happened back at Halloween Town. A soft sigh escaped his lips as he looked up, meeting Doogie's eyes with his own. He had an urge to touch him... to hold him close... to feel his body heat.
And he did not know why.
Shun suddenly extended his arm, softly caressing Doogie cheek. He looked deep into his eyes for a few seconds, his heart beating hard and quickly as he leaned on the blond teen, softly pressing his lips against the drawer's. The summoner was seriously confused... he had no idea why he had done it.
