Kasumi_Toshiyukihow long had she run for..time had lost its meaning , her legs burnt till she felt she couldnt take another step..the thicket of tree`s was dense she could only hope to lose the thing ..she could only hope it had given up the chase..maybe Clint had won and she had nothing to fear , but why did that nagging sensation that he had died ..given his life for hers..but why??
Kasumi_Toshiyukibranches snagged at her clothing ripping the delicate fabric more ,it hung in tatters around her slender dirty frame , hair viciously yanked till she is sure she has left half behind littered on the limbs of tree`s , her skin cut by thorns till it bled coloring what remains of the cloth a crimson red...her gasping sobs cut through the silence of this night..
Kasumi_Toshiyukiher direction was lost..blindly she ran , struggling through the undergrowth till finally it started to thin making her path easier..she takes a moment to slow her pace glancing over her shoulder terrified of what she might see..nothing..no sound..only tree`s..but then that meant nothing...like a shadow he had come , appearing like magic to lash out at her and Clint...he could be standing beside her and she would never know..
Kasumi_Toshiyukithat single thought makes her spin on her heels and carry on her mad dash through the forest , feet now having lost the wooden sandles are cut and sore yet the pound out over the cool earthen forest floor...her lungs seething with every inhaled gasp of air..she hurt..and how much longer could she run from this shadow..this thing that was imprinted on her mind ..

Vita_Ferrum within the moments of lost breath and possible fairy tales lies a dormant aspect of reality, possibility.. anything and everything will happen through the course of time, within an infinite number of dimensions lies an infinite possibilities, this is one of them. a single man battered and broken, bleeding from several orifices, stumbles forward, gasping for breath that doesn't seem to want to come, choking past dried blood in an attempt to take more of his precious oxygen in..
Vita_Ferrum .. to no avail, more blood gags his intake.. he mumbles, stumbling through a forest scape, nearly unknown to him.. the shadows retract.. a lone man, branded with but a single shoulder pad of steel falters within step forward. his cloths tattered and a bloody mess, a once white shirt nearly turned crimson, slacks that resemble the hue of a once profound brown, faded to match the same texture of burgundy..
Vita_Ferrum .. his right hand falls underneath a heaving chest, grasping for perhaps the heart.. he braces himself, falling forward to his knee's.. his left hand slips forward, the shadows retract more, the moon light above cutting through the canopy.. he slides onto the surface of the ground, face first, slowly allowing himself to merge with Gia in his final retreat.. as the left hand slides you see an indentation atop its surface, its as though its wrapped in some bio organic mesh,
Vita_Ferrum though it looks more as though a big ball of compacted mucus has lodged itself around his hand.. his forehead slumps into the dirt, more crimson lashes spreading their hue about the menagerie of the forest. within this tiny clump of flesh lies a single orb within the center, near the where his thumb should be, the medallion like complexion of the orb allows a mass of photonic particles to leaves the center point of its sphere,
Vita_Ferrum and spread a few dashes onto the earth in a vital manifestation of sensory equipment.. we zoom in, a right fist, clenched in a tight ball of frustration, slowly exudes, becoming limp... digits displaced atop the earthen soil.. ashes to ashes dust to dust?

Kasumi_Toshiyukinever will she forget that image..but why do they want her and are they all the same , there is so much thats unanswered and where does she find the answers?...question is will she even survive..how far must she run to befree of it?....she bursts through a crop of undergrowth , her clothing audibly tearing , no longer that petite well dressed child-like figure..now she was battered and bruised
Kasumi_Toshiyukihalf her face swollen and disfigured with a cut above her eye that has long since dried , blood no longer oozing from the torn flesh..her clothing is partly gone..legs now bare to her thighs , sleeves ripped and jagged , one torn away completely at the shoulder , her torso haphazardly encased in a similar fashion, scarred with a myriad of rips..
Kasumi_Toshiyukishe stumbles out onto a path , falling to her hands and knees she heaves in lungfuls of air..her face covered by the ragged curtain of ebony that limply drags upon the dusty ground..slowly she staggers to her feet , body weaving and swaying..no longer can she run ..her energy all but gone as she struggles to even stay uprighta nd on her feet..but she has to keep moving..
Kasumi_Toshiyukiturning she starts to limp down the path unsure what direction she heads..she needs help..a tavern..anything that can give her shelter and maybe protection from the thing that haunts her mind..the path ahead become alight with the moons cascading rays as the break through the treetops..a figure laying face down becomes encased in its brightness..
Kasumi_Toshiyukishe pauses briefly curious , frightened to approach...but approach she does..cautious steps that guide her to his side..kneeling beside his prone form she tentatively checks for a pulse , his skin cold and clammy and doesnt beat out a sign of life..her shoulders droop sadly hating to see any life wasted for what ever reason...grabbing his shoulder she tries to roll him over onto his back..for now she doesnt see but a dead man

Vita_Ferrum tremors seek the ground out around him, making his frustrations grow that much more profound.. though death has sought him this very day, his last remaining connection to the Bio sword itself keeps him supplied with a current of incoming hyper kinetic energy feeds, though they have caused his bio kinetic energy reserves to be nearly completely replaced this time, it has allowed him to defend himself to this point.. if only he had deactivated the damn thing sooner...
Vita_Ferrum ... if he had done that though that muster, that machine, that beast, it would have killed him.. no better to die by ones own accord then by the decision of another individual.. where was that person he was sent to track anyways? his mind ponders, wondering off on a lost number of tangents that cant quite seem to be explain.. his flesh tattered and glowing in frequencies invisible to the naked eye.. his poor decaying flesh saturated in the false supplementary energy...
Vita_Ferrum ... the sword itself acting on its own accord as the connection to the host becomes fleeting, it has no choice but to seek out another individual to bestow its curse upon.. if only the creators had kept this defect to themselves.. the simple computation systems of this unit control/gravitational medallion searching out other bio kinetic signatures in its direct proximity... luckily it has died in the right place.
Vita_Ferrum another large fluctuation of bio kinetic energy has just walked across its path an decided to grow even closer.. the mucus like formation, morphs on the sub atomic level, changing its own cell structure and composition.. it summons its flesh, groping at tendrils still intertwined with the dying host.. mixed singles tell it to stay as one with the soon to be extinguished host..
Vita_Ferrum .. its hyper kinetic energy still inviting as a soluble energy source, but within the bio kinetic energy to alternate the feeds, it itself can not survive for very long.. a hand rolls and tumbles of a physical shoulder, pulling it closer to it, wishing to view what's on the other side... the poor man rolls to his side, his face lurching inwards..
Vita_Ferrum .. strands of what seem extended jelly fish like formation, web across his features, sucking in with each last breath, perhaps an attempt to heal him, or self preservation, never the less the final remaining portion of bio kinetic energy leave him, being replaced with the more abundant form of hyper kinetic, if only a mortal man could live on such things... he gasp, for the final time, inhaling chunks of blood.. his eyes spread wipe open..
Vita_Ferrum .. his right hand groping for her shoulder as he speaks through the intake of breath.. "Stop... him.." he screams in a mumbled desperation.. texture of speech undefined.. the jelly fish like formations fall flat, reaffirming a nearly normal face, free of a few cuts a slashes, but still predominately battered... the man falls back, his head making a thud noise when it comes back into contact with the grassy surface of the earth..

Kasumi_Toshiyukicontact with the man`s clothing was hasty and fleeting , pulling the heavy body in an effort to get him onto his back..she figured he was dead getting no signs of life but she was very wrong , feeling him aid her in the attempt to right his weight laddened carcass..with his help she manages to at least get him onto his side , but its the sight of his face that makes her actually snap her hand back from him...
Kasumi_Toshiyukiputrid jelly like covering marred his features...mucus , clear and sticky smothered his lips , watching it be inhaled at every gasp, her eyes widen as his eyes snap open and meet hers...weak and bruised she cant stumble to her feet fast enough caught bent upon the forest floor she is snagged within his grasping hand
Kasumi_Toshiyukihis questing fingers curling into her shoulder , she winces from the contact , horrified he was touching her and pained by his touch..his words..confusing yet audible..what did he mean?..her mouth opens is if to speak wanting to know the reason behind them..to ask what he meant , yet no sooner are lips falling open does he roll back onto the ground , face tilted skyward..his features altered and nothing resembling the muscus like substance that coated his skin is evident..what and who is he..?
Kasumi_Toshiyukishe still kneels before him , knowing his body is now lifeless she reaches for both his hands..lifting them carefully she places them over his chest..frowning she lets her gaze travel over the back of his hand..what on earth was that?..curious she leans closer...a single digit poised above it...hovering as she decides whether or not to risk a touch...but touch she does..

Vita_Ferrum lifeless and brought with death he is no more, a last a final testament to fouls and evils which enrich our daily lives. his own gauntlet of security spelling his final doom this fateful day, if only he had taken the time to deactivate the thing... No it had to be done this way, for without the sword, he wouldn't have lived, he needed its healing properties to continue to function.. if only he had more bio kinetic energy from which it was to feed, but he is only a man,
Vita_Ferrum and men have their limitations in all things... life proceeds, death taking firm hold, the symbiotic bio organic gauntlet retracting its finally keystones with the host, falling to a dormant state, with only miniscule amounts of hyper kinetic energy to feed from.. its own conscious state beginning to be depraved, the few simple task which it is capable of perceiving now in great jeopardy.. it has nothing left in site.. the self preservation sub routines kick in,
Vita_Ferrum sending another dimmed burst of photonic hue outwards from the musky metallic orb located within the center of this fleshy substance.. it gurgles still, the bio organic flesh still seeping and separating itself from the host's containment... a familiar hand, another trace of the pre mentioned bio kinetic energy.. the one that it had sensed but a moment ago.. she was closer now, within reach..
Vita_Ferrum .. delicate digits displace themselves over the smooth outcropping of other familiar digits, the sword seeps upwards, falling into a more appropriate dormant state, completely detaching itself from the host at this point... it converges at the top of his left hand, held within a compact state.. though still bonded to the top of his palm, tendrils wrap around and hold firm to the sides of his hand.. the single metallic orb held within the center..
Vita_Ferrum .. the pearl shaped medallion falling silent in its incessant blinks.. Veta sleep now, at home with his thoughts, able to rest, within the vast void of nothingness... having no god to call his own.. he finds no heaven, no Venesion fields, nothing but the cold solace of never ending darkness.. the sword reacts to touch... the familiar bio kinetic feeds inspiring to greater feats..
Vita_Ferrum .. the pre ordained task which it was to carry out, the need for self preservation... with its last remaining deposits of hyper kinetic energy it allows itself to bond to the bio kinetic energy within the female.. for this brief moment in time, they are as one, interconnected, and intertwined.

Kasumi_Toshiyukiit was just a delicate touch , a featherlight caress upon the pearl-like disc embedded within his flesh...but it wasnt really flesh , something more as she leaned closer with interest..she never expected any harm to become of this , he was after all dead..wasnt he?...gently the padded tip did glide over the surface..sparking into life a chain of events unknown to her
Kasumi_Toshiyukitoo fast it happens, ebony tendrils that extend forth to entwine about her flesh..lacing , burying into the pale skin that was once her hand...shards of pain shattered through her arm..her body jerking forward , scrunching over the body of the dead man as a deafening scream is torn from her lips shattering the silence ..it was within coiling through her..binding to her very soul..screaming inward that mirrors the aubible sound she makes
Kasumi_Toshiyukidesperately she fights but soon the fight is over..they become one...interlocked in an agonizing grip that convulses her slender frame...the orb is dragged forth from the lifeless body of the man it once inhabited to become embedded within her own hand , a shimmering pearl medallion , tendrils of fleshy bio organic substance wrap about the extended hand encasing it is ebony grasp..
Kasumi_Toshiyukilike shards of glass drawn over her flesh does she whimper at its intrusiveness...connected , her hand continues to spasm uncontrollably as it takes its final hold making the joining complete..her body once fragmented with pain does heave a gasp into her lungs..eyes having fallen closed she lies hunched over the man`s chest..face buried into the bloodied fabric of his shirt..
