[ And finally lets the coin drop. ]

This is stupid.

[ A huff as he snatches the coin mid-air. ]

I told you what to do. [ A small bit of scolding on his end. ] I know how to use myself, Zero.

...Don't be a brat about it.

[ Fine. He puts him into his mouth and nothing happens. Then something odd. What was--

His hand start shaking, the flesh twisting, turning dark, then the scales appear running up his arm and--

Zero spits him out. ]

[ The coin hit the ground with a sharp ring as it bounced off by its edge. There was a noise of shock from Itachi, and the coin rolled off, finally coming to a stop when it hit the trunk of one of the flanking pomegranate trees before the gate. There was silence from Itachi for a moment. Zero's arm had instantly snapped back to its normal state. ]

Forgive me.

That must have been frightening.

[ Zero stands shocked. Only Purebloods transformed like that so why was he-- ]

What. What was that.

[ Did he know that would happen?! ]

I don't know the extent... but I can transform you.

Your body. Whether you wish to be stronger, or faster... whatever it takes.

I will grant you the ability to protect those closest to you, because...

[ There's a small feeling of warmth there. It's almost glowing. ]

I want to protect the ones closest to me. You and Ichiru. So please...

Find it in you, Zero... to make use of me. I don't...

Want to lose you again. That feeling of loss... for some reason, it hurts more than anything.

[ He can hear him, the feeling of warmth and determination flowing into him. Again, the one way bond works in his favor as Zero picks up the coin, cleaning it off before putting him back into his mouth. This time when his arm starts transforming, he doesn't fight it but lets it transform him into the beast he already knew he was. ]

[ He didn't know the extent of his power. He didn't know what sort of creature the other would turn into, or how much of him would turn... but Itachi's resolute feelings and desire to be of use and protect were strong. He wanted to become something... for his friend, a powerful shinki. ]

[ His body further contorts, feathery wings sprawl from the back of a wolf as ice shoots out of his head like horns. When he finally stops transforming, he's still, a monster parading as a wolf. ]

[ There was a faint intake of breath. ]

...Incredible... [ He'd really transformed... he'd really transformed...! ]

[ The chimera shifts, the hind legs take up its weight at first before two front paws press into the ground as it holds itself up. It takes a step. Falters. And stops. A moment's stillness passes through its body before it tries again and this time the body moves like it should. It takes a few steps, mouth falling open as cold breath dissipates into the night. The horns of ice crackle, as new ice forms down its spine like a shield. When it finally stops, the chimera sits shifts its head to look down at the ice. ]

I was afraid... [ Itachi started slowly. ] That I would only be able to turn you into some misshapen figure...

But this...

Zero, you're... [ How did he say this without sounding... weird? } ...you're...

...You're the only person I know who could put this to use.

You have it wrong.

[ The tone is firm, absolute. ]

It's you who allow me to use it. It's you who put it to use.
