The Cabin Returns!

"Mm, I guess I see then... I'll have to stop you then..." Miyako smiled weakly but nudged him lightly with her head. She'd make sure he didn't over do it, he wasn't used to being able to stop and just rest when he needed. If...if she could she'd take it all back for him but it was impossible...

"Aaah that makes sense then! Your energy was drained a lot more than I was expecting, I felt it when I was doing the thing. It's like healing but I gotta focus on just your energy, healing it instead of your body. Here!" Shifting so she could turn, her power turned back on but instead of her brush she pressed her lips against his as her hand held his head to her. He'd have to yank to pull back as Miyako thought of healing his energy but used her mouth as the channeling object.

It was so much harder and almost burned as the energy left her to flow into Hibiki, just absolutely tons of it streaming into him without stop, attempting to fill him back up while draining her.

She'd just have to stop him then... It was a job, but she didn't seem troubled by doing it. He would...try to stop himself, he'd just have to think about doing so instead of just...going on.

"A-Ah...Yea-" Before he could finish, Miyako had shifted from his side to turn towards him, connecting their lips. He felt...a similar sensation to when she'd transferred her energy before, but this time it was stronger. She was...like this?

After a short moment, he pulled away; she didn't need to exhaust herself like that! Some rest and he'd be fine! "Y-You don't...need to exhaust yourself...like that...Rest."

He didn't care if she still felt...somewhat fine, after doing that she needed to rest up! She was exhausting herself little by little...Making those targets, and then doing that...

"Mm, but this is also practice right? I need to be able to do all sorts of things, like give you energy and heal you...so I should practice those too." Miyako murmured, her body swaying a bit as she realized it was less...less focused when she did that and felt weird. She should stick to using her brushes really for that.

"I feel like... there's a well inside me Hibiki. But when I use my powers its like...the bucket can only bring up so much at a time and only can handle so many times before it just breaks and can't do more. There's still lots of water in the well, but I can't access it." Now she was the one leaning against him, breathing a bit hard and seemingly out of it as her head pitched forward against him. "So...if I can give it to you, the water... then maybe you can use it better than me. I can be your battery."

That was...some analogy...

"It...It's practice, but...don't exhaust yourself. You're...stopping me from exhausting myself, then I'm stopping you from doing the same..."

They shouldn't be hypocrites with training, and spending their energy like this...

His hand went to her head as he felt her lean against him, petting her head lightly as he averted his eyes. "Don't...give me so much you exhaust yourself...Giving me some is...fine just...keep yourself up too..."

"But its not bad for me to, you can keep us safe if something happens or move me. I can't do anything if you get exhausted..." Her voice was a soft murmur, resting against him as he petted her head softly. Miyako was smiling even if he couldn't see... He was being so sweet and gentle and she shook her head.

"Hibiki, you should... just let me give you what I want to." Miyako murmured, before continuing on and glad he couldn't see the smile on her face that would give away her next words. "You should...become a flower receptacle...for my desire and life energy..."

She could hold in her laughter! She coooould!

"Exhausting yourself won't solve anything... Even if I can, I'd rather you not nearly kill yourself trying to energize me." She didn't need to do that!

He should...?

...

As Miyako finished talking Aito blinked, once the momentary horror had passed as he realized exactly what she was quoting. Despite his somewhat tired state, he shifted moving from Miyako but not letting her fall or anything before shuffling away.

No. No referencing that shit porn!

Absolutely not!

"I should get exhausted a bit from doing this, it will help me learn what my limits are. Then I won't have to get exhausted again or worry, right?" Miyako was using logic against him! She should learn her limits, he had a much better idea of his own really and could take energy from her so she should learn where hers are!

As he moved her away from him slowly but surely, Miyako waited and rested as he then shuffled away in his utter horror and just hatred.

She giggled and stood up shakily, stumbling forward after him. "Hiiibiiikiii~ Accept my life energy~ I can't give it to you the proper way so you have to accept it like thiiis~"

Miyako was not too tired to chase Hibiki around amusingly and try to get him to accept her energy while calling it that.

"Absolutely not!" Aito quickly retorted; none of that life energy bullshit! None of it! He would have nothing to do with referencing that shit! No! No, no, no!

He continued to shuffle away from Miyako, even if he was tired. He was not going to put up with those references! No way! He would be accepting no life energy! None!

His gun had returned to its original form, it would be useless to try to get away while worrying about carrying a gun!

No life energy!

"Its my energy...and my life... So its life energy and I want to fill you with it~" Miyako was giggling as she stumbled after Hibiki. This was super fun and also amusing, he was so grumpy over referencing that awful porn manga that she couldn't help it!

It really wasn't thaaaat baad.

Besides it was really amusing! It was corny and awful and fun to reference! Her arm outstretched as she put on a burst of speed to try and get him. "I'd let you fill me with it if you coooould! It's only fair!"

Aito kept shuffling away from Miyako even as she gave chase. No! No life energy! He was serious! No life energy, no...fucking receptacles, no nothing! He would not give into this!

He hit the ground as Miyako put on a burst of speed in attempt to catch him, but he struggled and kept on moving. If he was pulling Miyako with him then so be it! Eventually she would release him! He would not stop on this!

Miyako got Hibiki! But he pulled her along with him and she began laughing more and more. "Hibiiiikiii~ You are gonna wear yourself out and make me have to inject more of my life energy directly into you~"

She held on, planning on giving up here in a few moments but still enjoying this while it lasted. It bothered him so much... it wasn't that bad...

No!

He would be fine going like this! He would not stop! He wouldn't stop until she quit with that life energy bullshit! He would have none of it!

Miyako was holding on though, he could tell as he pulled her along in his attempts to get away. He wasn't going to stop though, he would not give in with this!

"Fine fine! I give up! I won't call it life energy right now." Miyako gave in finally with a giggle, letting go of Hibiki so as to not wear him out...and dropped to her knees and butt on the ground as the world spun.

"Even...even if it feeeels like its my life energy wow. How come you are swaying and there's two of you Hibiki?" Miyako blinked, her eyes out of focus as she lifted her hands up to rub them from her place on the ground.

Right now...

He stopped, but later he'd need to somehow convince her to not keep up with calling it that whenever the next moment revealed itself! She had agreed to stop, and right now considering he was tired too he would stop his fleeing...

When she mentioned swaying he turned towards her in time to see her rubbing at her eyes. She'd used up way too much of her energy...

He shuffled over to her as she rubbed at her eyes and moved to stand, gathering her up before he headed back for the cabin. Rest for the both of them! He wasn't as exhausted as he had been thanks to her, but he was still tired. She was outright exhausted...

He set her down on the bed she'd created earlier, and once he'd dusted himself off he removed his shoes and went to seat himself on the bed as well. A comfortable rest, and this was the most comfortable spot...

Miyako went limp as she normally did when picked up, not complaining despite her obvious want to. He was tired! Hibiki shouldn't be carrying her around! Instead she kept quiet as he set her on the bed, she stood up a moment to dust herself off weakly and the bed before plopping back down. Her feet kicked her shoes off as she then pulled them up on it.

Looking over at Hibiki for a moment of contemplation, Miyako crawled over to him and snuggled against his side and then...began pouring more energy into him as she poked his side with one of her few remaining brushes.

Aito went about getting comfortable on the bed, which in his tired state wasn't difficult to do at all, before shutting his eyes; he didn't plan on sleeping or anything, but it felt good to rest them.

He felt Miyako crawl over and snuggle up next to him before...

"Rest." He could feel what she was doing even without opening his eyes! She'd just been out there dizzy, she needed to rest up not use more of her energy!

He turned over, towards her, his arms moving around her to hold her to him; it was how they typically laid down but...like this movements were also restricted so...rest.

"Mrrr." Miyako made a short, grumpy sound as Hibiki ordered her to rest, but she let her powers fade out with a sigh. Her hands went to his chest as he held her to him, her body snuggling up to his more as she gave a pleased sigh this time.

"Why can't I give you it all?" She muttered into his chest, nuzzling him lightly. "I want to..."

"That's dangerous..." He answered; it really was, giving him more than average was...was sort of fine but all? She'd end up getting herself killed if she did that. He could keep hollows away, but he couldn't do shit about keeping her from overexerting herself to a critical point.

Well, he could...and was right now.

He'd just have to order rest when it was necessary, and keep an eye on out when it was needed.

"I won't put myself in danger danger... If I just give you what I have extra, then you can practice more. You're more important in that way... you need more practice than I do." Soft sighs sounded from her as she shook her head. "Its like practice for me too, its the hardest thing I've ever done power wise. So its...mmm...its like I am stretching the spirit muscles more when I do it."

It...it wasn't like he could really stop her if she wanted to disobey him, she could do it as long as she was touching him...

But then he'd not touch her! Aaaaaah. What choice was there but to listen...

"When it comes to normal training I think it'd be best to start by creating a bunch of small things, then work your way up to stuff like that..." She'd have more stamina by the time she wanted to work on those energy transfers.

She could easily adjust to a normal training regime, he would need to...force himself into the habit.

The right way was to start small and work your way up; he'd just...been ordered to gain his strength the wrong way. Miyako didn't need to take after him in that regard!

"But if I do it my way, then you benefit and there's not a lot of useless things laying around." Her way was more efficient and helped both of them and didn't created a bunch of weird items left over! It was so much cleaner.

"And then I can just rest in here, drawing, while you shoot. Whenever you need energy, just come back and if I have extra I'll give it to you." Miyako felt her idea was sound! Hibiki didn't want to endanger her... but she wouldn't be in danger at all!

"Start small..." No exhausting herself like that! He was serious about this. She didn't need to go and exhaust herself over and over again. She needed to start small and work her way up. "If you're worried about mess, create useful things, necessities, or something then...then it won't be a waste..."

She was not going to overexert herself just so he could shoot more in a faster time frame!

"How will we carry it all back? We don't need that much stuff." Miyako's voice was pouty, she pulled back and stared up at him in just a bit of surprise. Why was her plan not suitable!?

It helped them both and made sense! "Unless you want me to make this cabin the nicest cabin in the world. I can add a chandelier to put the candles on."

Her voice was dry, she felt that was the most ridiculous idea ever.

"It can stay here; camp sight or something..." Aito answered, not even bothering to open his eyes as Miyako pulled back some to look up at him.

She did not need to exhaust herself to that extent, he could take breaks when it came to his target practice! She needed to keep some of that energy of hers so she didn't pass out or something!

"...Fine." Miyako gave in a final sigh, Hibiki wanted this and what...Hibiki wanted...he would get.

He would regret it.

But he would get it.

Her cheek puffed up and she went silent, laying there in his arms in a quiet and utter pout. Her idea...had been sound...
