Alive
by: Achoral
Kogenta reached the kitchen. Riku was cutting a roasted chicken.
"What do you want, Kogenta ?
-Er...I...I seem to be hungry...
-Uh ? What are you talking about ?"
Kogenta's stomach grumbled again. Riku did not know what to say, it was the first time he saw starving Kogenta.
"Er...I don't know what happened to you but it looks like you need to eat something..." said Riku. Riku gave him a thigh. Kogenta hesitated, but tasted it. He chewed slowly and swallowed, then ate the rest within ten seconds.
"I'd never thought it would be so pleasant to eat something..." he said, throwing away a bone. Riku seemed to look for something.
"What are you looking for ?
-Your drive...It was in my pocket, but it disappeared..."
Kogenta didn't answer.
"But what the hell is going on ? Are you sure you didn't put it somewhere ?
-I keep it with me everywhere I go, it's impossible...
-When did you see it for the last time ?!
-A few days ago, when I called you back...then at home I summoned you to heal, and since...I didn't called you back so...hey, do you think the sword of this tiger was kind of...magic ?"
Kogenta took off his shirt and looked at this abdomen. He had a big scar where fur didn't grow back.
"That's the first time I didn't recover from a wound within a day." he said. Riku came in front of him and put his hand on his face.
"Don't move."
Kogenta did not move during approximately 30 seconds, then threw back the hand of Riku.
"What the hell are you doing ?!
-I was just checking if I was right.
-Uh ?
-Look at you."
Kogenta looked at himself.
"Then what ?
-You're breathing."
The white tiger felt sick comfortable. He always breathed but didn't need to do it, and could stay under the water as much as he wanted. With a hesitating hand, he put his hand against his chest, and what he felt made him provoke a small groan.
"I...I have...I felt a heart beat...my heart beat...
-So it seems that you became alive."
Kogenta feel weird. The idea of not being immortal anymore made him gasp.
"Riku, I need to find him.
-Who ?
-Kansama.
-But you're not healed !
-I don't care ! I don't want to be able to die, I..."
But he didn't finish his sentence, because his stomach grumbled again.
"Relax, it's not like the death is everywhere. And it seems that you're not full, I don't know how much food the stomach of a tiger needs..."
Riku thought :
