I gaped.
"You just....!" My mouth worked like a fish's.
"You just shot me!" I managed.

He first addresses the young girl.
"I will, I promise, but if I'm not strict with him he'll misbehave. You have my word I'll make everything right after this talk. My promise is golden. Besides, this involves you too miss.......Shiki? Just give me a few minutes."
He looks back over at Neku, gun still pointed at him.
"Yes, I did. I swear to god I will do it again if you don't shut up and listen. See what's on my shoulder? This is Subway's footlong Dragon special. Either listen until the end, or I will shoot you so many times with this that you won't be able to stand just from the sheer shock."
He keeps the gun up and talks to the dragon.
"The stage is yours blondie."

[fyi... everyone can understand her... due to the collar thingy on her neck...]
Neku... This is the third time this has happened... The second time I have said it, but... We need to talk, I exhale. I ran away and I know I shouldn't of. It was stupid of me, but I was hurt that you couldn't bring yourself to tell me you wanted me to stay, that you wanted us to be together.
Sigh.
This on the other hand doesn't forgive what I have done both before and after I left, I nod. Before I left I was cheating on you, seeing another man behind you back. When we broke up I ran away with this man... But while I was out there I realized something, I can't live with out you... You're my everything... And am just ridiculous for leaving you, also... I remember everything now. All of my past and I'm ready to forgive it, forgive myself, forgive you... My tail curls in nervousness. I'm not asking for your forgiveness... I am asking to talk things out like we should of... Like we could have if I hadn't gone off and got my memories blocked...
I take a shaky breath, Whatcha say, Neku... Talk with me?
My eyes dart to Shiki.
We need to talk too, love.

"....Nami," I said quietly, when she was done, staring at the white dragon perched on Kenji's shoulder as it began to speak. The voice from the creature was generic and kind of staticky, but the voice that spoke in my mind, and the words....
There wasn't any mistaking that voice.
I was sure I was going crazy, but right now, I didn't care.
"You were heating on me... and you ran away with him......."
I paused.
"...............................and........... you still.... came back..."

Kenji debated pulling the trigger, but decided against it. He didn't know about this, and Neku has every reason to ask about this. He makes a mental note to talk to Nami about that later.

I nod.
Of course, Neku... I always come back... I want to be with you and only you, I need you... I thought... I thought by now you knew this...

"I.... for a while, I wasn't sure," I admitted, and realized the tears were starting to fall again, dammit. "I thought maybe you'd found someone, something, better for you. And I was happy. But I was too selfish, I wanted you back. And then I realized... I've been such a coward. I should've asked you to stay. I thought I was doing the selfless thing... allowing you to go to someone better for you.... I caused you to leave, because I wouldn't fight for you. I'm sorry."

"About fucking time Neku. But.....I'm proud of you man. Nami, if you have a reasonable reason for me to shoot him, I'll do it. Guns's going away, and Neku........thank you for stepping up and being the better man, despite your newfound knowledge."
He puts the gun down and smiles at him.
"Nami, Do your best."

I nod to Kenji before looking back to Neku.
We're both sorry, then... I guess...
I didn't really have much to say, I can't deny what he said, nor can I support it.

"Namine.......Remember that you want to be completely honest.....no holding back. Lay everything out on the table. Trust him, I got your back."
Kenji gives a reassuring nod.

I nodded. "Whatever you have to say... I want to hear it. Not listening is what caused these problems - not listening and not telling how we felt. Even if it'll make me mad, even if it'll hurt me."
I nodded.
"I want to know."

Exhale.
I nod to them both before mustering up the courage to tell Neku a fine piece of information I left out.
Try to understand, okay, Neku...? The person I was cheating on you with, the person I ran away with... was Angel.

My eyes flared wide, then narrowed, and I felt my upper lip curl back from my teeth in a snarl directed at the non-present 'Angel' who'd stolen everything from Nami before.
But a snarl was all it was. Despite the rage roiling inside and probably showing clearly through my eyes and our bond, I kept myself as calm as I could, forcing my fists to unclench and my body to relax, though the tension probably showed in the taut lines of my wings and the raging spark dancing beneath the surface of my eyes.
"It hurts, Nami," I told her. "I won't lie to you. That.... hurts a lot. And there are things I want to do right now... to him, to myself.... that I won't do, because I won't hurt you like that. Besides. I know you didn't remember him.... so how could you avoid being attracted to him? The surface that drew you the first time was still there, and hell, maybe he's a better guy now. But it hurts, even still."
I drew in a deep breath.
"I'm selfish and weak, because I realized that I can't live without you either. And I also realized, just now, that the most important sign is here. You came back. You had him, you had what you wanted.... you remembered, and you left, and you came here, you came looking for me. You said sorry and you meant it. I... I can't hide it from you anymore, Nami. I know you're afraid of me, but I can't help what I am. I'm scary. I'm angry, too, sometimes, and my soul is a weird mishmash of pieces of demon possessiveness and human compassion. We drive each other nuts and I don't doubt we always will."
I took a deep breath, then swallowed, trying to wet my suddenly dry mouth.
"BUt.... you came back. And.... if you can live with that..... if you'll forgive me... I'll forgive you too. I love you too much to ever truly let go. But I..... if it's what you want, I'm not like Angel. I won't hold on so hard you break. If you want to go.... I'll let you."
Then I clenhed my fists.
"But I won't ever give up without a fight again. I love you too much for that."

My muscles coil and I'm about to spring from Kenji's shoulder. But then I pause and look to my big brother to know if its okay yet, can I go to Neku or not...

Kenji looks at Namine. "Do you forgive him?"
