Sleep was gentle to Natsumi, the luxurious beds easing him into rest. But, in the silent dead of night, he awoke to an unnerving, warm sensation. Like a hot, clawed finger caressing the line of his jaw. As the haze of a dream cleared, his eyes opened with realization and he sat up upon the bed. Only minimal moonlight lit the room, but it was clear that nothing was there as the nonexistent touch pulled away. Sounds of amusement fluttered into his mind, silent to all but himself, at his startled awakening. 

With a sigh, Natsumi whispered to empty night air, [color=hotpink]"What now?"[/color]

[color=black]"I have need of you, Natty,"[/color] the soundless words rumbled with sultry tone. 

[color=hotpink]"Can it wait?"[/color] he whispered, both annoyed and worried. 

A faint growl started to build at the back of his mind, and he felt it bubble up and rumble with intensity as if it were close to him. In his defiance, he felt his neck constrict, the warm feeling digging into his skin like hot needles upon a tightening grip. The voice replied, [color=black]"You wouldn't want to disappoint me, would you?"[/color]

[color=hotpink]"N--"[/color] he coughed, the word catching in his throat. The pressure eased, and he huffed momentarily as air came back to him. [color=hotpink]"No, of course not,"[/color] he continued, [color=hotpink]"I'll go."[/color]

[color=black]"Good boy,"[/color] said the silent voice, clearly pleased with the capitulation, [color=black]"Now, get going. I won't be waiting long."[/color][/indent][/indent][/color][center][color=black][u][b]______________________________________________________________________________________[/b][/u][/color][/center]

He was quiet as he gathered his things, being sure not to wake any of the others. They wouldn't understand anyway. Once packed, he gave his silent, secret goodbyes to the others as they slept, before weaving his fingers into the air in an incantation. In the next moment he had vanished, appearing past the entrance of the building outside. A ferry this late would normally be hard to convince, but who could say no to him? He didn't know where he was going yet, but it certainly wouldn't be on the island. He knew he'd know where to go soon. At least after it was clear that there wasn't any going back. For now. 

At least he left a gift behind. Something to remember him by until they crossed paths again.[/indent][/indent][/color]
