Shziune flinched at every bite of word Shinobu had to give her but retained her stoic expression. She wouldn't lie, she had never expected the normally bright and bubbly girl to snap out like that to her. Of course...yes, it had to be because of that...a bitter laugh escaped the vampire's pale lips and she turned to focus her crimson eyes on the green-haired girl.

"Yes that's right...I'm the absolute worst, aren't I? That's what you both think, right? Good. Hate me, degrade me, spit on me...it doesn't matter. I already know my sins. I....I am deeply sorry that you do feel that way about me Resan-san...perhaps if we get out of here, then you may punish me after all. You'd be doing me a favor anyway," she muttered.

With those dark words hanging in the air, Shizune dismissed the conversation and said nothing further. Leading the way back to the others, the vampire wanted nothing more than to crawl into a corner and sleep forever. Their remarks....she was far past the point of breaking down into tears...and to despair would mean to give up. No.

They had to keep moving.
