He smiled happy that she asked him to do something for her. "Sure, of course I can." He went back into the kitchen, finding the bandages and gauze in the cupboard, and as he wasn't quite sure what peroxide was he grabbed some vodka of the shelf. He came back and put them down on a small desk near her. "There, will that do? I didn't know what kind of alcohol would be best so...that's the first thing I found."

(OW MY GOSH XD LOL)

"Not that kind." Metza laughed sitting back up this time slowly. "Rubbing alcohol... Do you not get cuts or little injury's like that at all? Or even big injury's?" She asked looking at Hako confused as to how he did not know what she was talking about. Didn't everybody get hurt every now and then? Even her strongest masters had gotten hurt at least once before.... Well that wasn't from her.

He looked at her not sure what she meant at first then he remembered knocking over a small bottle when he was getting the bandages. "No...not really. I don't really go out much and I'm pretty careful. Actually, I don't think I've ever gotten hurt." He walked back out grabbed it from where it lay on the side and then brought it back to her. "Sorry, I should really look through the stuff I have in my house."

Metza smirked and took the rubbing alcohol from Hako lightly and grabbing the bandages and gauze. "Yes you do." She laughed lightly "Ok... Um... Could you leave please?" She asked softly feeling slightly uncomfortable having him watching her as she bandaged and cleaned the wounds that were starting to bother her.

Hako nodded and went to leave. "Ok well, If you need anything just call." He walked out and went into his kitchen, looking at everything that was in his cupboards and on his shelves. Most of that stuff hadn't been touched, and most of it must have still been there from when his father was still around. Tablets he had never heard of and tins of stuff he knew he would never have bought interested him.

It didn't take Metza long after Hako had left to get the bandages replaced... Though she did yelp a few times as the tape pulled at her hair. When she was done she threw the old bloody bandages away and quickly cleaned the puddle of blood with some of the gauze, unable to stand it anymore... Though she didn't touch anything else. She sat on her bed as she thought to herself quietly. He was so right about her... Even Fang in some of what he wrote was right about her. She was angry at herself for acting in such a way as she had the day before and days before that though she was still baffled at the thought of how Hako had kept her after all that... She didn't deserve it.

He had just finished organising his cupboards into his and unknown and then knocked on her door. "Hey Metza, you okay in there? If your finished I can take the things away If your finished." He stood outside the door, waiting to hear her say something. He worried about her sometimes, even when there wasn't any reason to. He almost laughed thinking about how soft he had gotten, and almost fond of her he had been growing. He wondered if it was her fault or his, or maybe just that he was realising that somepeople weren't that bad...

Metza's mind snapped back to the present as she herd Hako's question and concern. "Yes... I'm finished you can come in now." She said softly then wondered where her fury and rage had went. She felt no anger, no resentment, no hate, no true fear... She only felt those things towards herself not him.

He came back in and smiled, seeing her looking a little bit better. "Sorry about the mix up...I've been looking through my stuff, I think I'll remember what's where now. I didn't realise it was that normal to get hurt." He took everything away from where she was and moved them. "Are you going to be ok?"

"Yeah... thanks I think I'll be back up to speed soon... I don't stay down long and when I do it really starts to bug me." Metza smiled up at Hako. She didn't know why but for some reason he seemed to peak her interest slightly. Maybe it was because they were alike in some way? She didn't know all she knew is he was the first person that got her to break... And she truly didn't know if that was good or bad.

He nodded understanding why. "Well, I'm not stopping you from getting up but just rest if you need it. There isn't much to do, you've done a better job of tiding then I ever have really so thanks. Hoping you'll be all good to go out tomorrow, I quite like the idea of that shop." He yawned, not sure if his bout of kindness was simply caused by tiredness or a change in himself. Either way, he supposed that it wasn't negative to be nice, and she didn't seem to mind.

Metza smiled and nodded. She laughed as his yawn made her yawn. "Man I hate it when that happens." She said and couldn't help the laugh. She hadn't laughed in so long it felt out of place on her lips, maybe she was too serious? Maybe she just needed to loosen up a bit? She didn't know but the giggle made her feel a tiny bit better.

He was almost surprised to hear her giggle and it made him laugh slightly as well. "When what happens? I didn't notice anything?" He shrugged wondering if It was just something else that he had over looked during his life. He felt like every day he was being shown things that he had missed out his life.

"When one person yawns sometimes it will make another person in the room yawn." Metza explained with a small smile as she looked up at Hako. She wondered quietly how long it had bean since he had truly interacted with another person though decided that it wasn't a good question.

Hako looked at Metza slightly confused. "Really? Oh well, I'll try not to yawn so much then. I'm sorry." He felt almost guilty that he had made her yawn. "You're very useful Metza, I'm learning all kinds of things about people and the world....I didn't realise how much I had missed."

"No it's ok, it's not a bad thing it's normal. I just think it's funny." Metza laughed with a smile then smirked at his words. "Hey all I really know is, life ain't fair and people don't act right... I just happen to be one of those people." She snickered lightly. Her ears where no longer down and she seemed to be in a rather pleasant mood... This was definitely not like her. I don't understand! Is he changing me? How?! Or am I just becoming soft? i haven't acted like this in years! What makes now, what makes him so much different? She thought quietly racking her brain for the answers.

Hako ran a hand through his hair, surprised to see Metza laughing. He had never expected she would have acted like this when he had met her. "It's nice to see you in a rather agreeable mood you know. It's nice to think you being here is somewhat good for you." He looked at her for a little while longer then saw that she was thinking rather deeply. "Thinking about something?"

Metza blinked for a moment clearing her thoughts and shook her head and regretted it. She put her hand to the back of her neck with a cringe, she had never had a wond on her neck so deep... How is it still bleading!? I never blead this much!... Wait... He had something on his fangs I remebered feeling it... SHOOT! IT'S INFECTED! Crap why now! "It's nothing... Just thinking..." Metza said trying to stifle the pain in her form and face. Her neck was burning and aching so much that she wondered why she hadn't felt it before now.

Haku thought he saw Metza cringe when she touched her neck, but he couldn't be sure. "Well, If you're sure everything is fine...Is your neck okay?" He felt worried about her, and he didn't like it. Caring for no one might not be the healthiest way to live, but it had been his only option. Now he felt that strain of fear that made people worry. He had realised a while ago that she still held onto her independence tighter then anything and he didn't see any signs of her letting go of it, even a tiny little bit no matter what the cost. "Metza?"

"Yes?" Metza said calmly keeping the pain out of every aspect of her so Hako didn't see it. Her eye, voice, and body languege held no sighns of pain but inside it was slowly torturing her... Well as far as that went any way... She still didn't quite feel pain to the fullest in fact her body toned down the pain so she knew it must have bean bad, and getting worce. The pain slowly started to spread and hurt her more though still she did not show Hako the pain she just leaned back into her pillow and closed her eyes while she concentrated on keep her composier... She slowly reallized it wasn't infected... But poisoned, and that made it ten times worce... Though she still didn't let it show.
(LOL she's going back to being stuburn and not telling him how much pain she's in XD I want him to see it on his own XP I want to see his reaction to just how much she can take before willingly letting go XD The whole "You've broken me" thing dissapeares real quick here when she starts to regret saying that to him when she thinks he's the reason the wounds so bad)

"Well, If you say so...Do you want me to leave you alone?" He felt decidedly uneasy, and felt like something had suddenly changed in the room. He sighed and walked out of the room, not waiting for her to reply. He ran a hand through his hair wondering why he had suddenly felt like something way wrong. He sat down and then instantly got up again and started moving things around, not just books and objects but the sofa and two of the bookcases.

After a while of laying there she was no longer able to hide the pain on her face that had went pale slightly after she had passed out from the poison. She didn't know if Hako knew what it looked like when a person was poisoned though she did know she wasn't going to wake up easily and could die from her stupid choise of not telling him how much pain she was in thanks to her pride and need to be looked at as being strong. Her breaths were coming out hard and heavy and that also bothered her. How bad was this? She didn't know though she did know she was bleading through the bandagas on the back of her neck and hoped Hako didn't change them... They were covered in poison.

Hako was sitting against the wall, rather tired from rearranging the whole room. He sighed and stood up, walking back up to her room and leaning against the door. "Hey, you ok in there? I...I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me." He put his head round the door, and saw that she was pale and still. He went in quickly and shook her gently. "Metza? Wake up! Come on..." He lifted her head as gently as he could, and looked at her bandages. Blood had soaked through them and onto the bed, but didn't think that it was quite the normal colour. "Get up Metza...you don't look so good..."

Metza growned but didn't open her eyes as for she was still for the most part unconsiose. She could hear Hako speaking almost panicked though could not respond other then growning as she tried to come to. Finally after a few moments she opened her eyes ever so slightly and they were dimmed slightly. She couldn't move or even really talk as for the poison had made her body numb though it hadn't gotten to her heart... Yet. She looked at him though her eyes faded in and out of focuse.

He watched her open her eyes slowly, and saw they weren't like they were supposed to be. "Metza, what's going on?" She felt cold and he was worried that she was in serious danger. "Can I help? Please try hard to tell me, I don't know what to do...I don't know what's happening." He put a hand on her head. She was cold and felt a little clammy. He felt rather helpless, hoping that she was well enough to tell him what to do.
