(ooc: Happens later the night after John and Howl/Ryuuga meet. Titor if you want you're character to overhear John and Kit, go for it. Also, sorry for the bit of colorful language.)
Howl stood in front of him...or what look like Howl, only the face was death white, and instead of the blond hue of Howl's hair, it was black as night. The dark aura was suffocating, forcing out every good thought, every good emotion from him. "Howl's dead..." he said, smiling at him. "I felt him die..."
John shook his head, not wanting to believe it. Howl couldn't be dead...Ryuuga, the creature had to be lying. "I...I don't believe you."
"Ha, so weak...so cursed," Ryuuga laugh. "He knew you were weak that's why he didn't come to you." The other step closer, 'claws' digging into his mind, dragging every dark and sour emotion to the front. Kit was suddenly in front of him, her gold light trying to push back the darkness surrounding him. She screeched as his foot came down on her tail, kick her as she attack him.
"STOP IT....LET HER GO!"
"So weak...no one would, could ever love you." He release her, only to pull out the puglist weapon and slam it into her, and laugh as John scream. "I have seen you cuddling that white hair boy...stealing those Bronco Grease adds..." the rest of the words lost to him as he saw the darkness swirl around them, revealing Khuj'a, Raimy, Khit'to, Titor, Sam.... everyone he cares for, dead in the nothingness.  He try to go to them but he found himself caught fast.
"You just want to be love...to have loving caring arms around you..." But it wasn't loving arms that encircle him but darkness. "You're so weak that all you will ever be used for is a good fuck." John was drowning in it, the words that sounded in his head was making it hard to fight.
"john..." the voice whisper, light and love so close but no strength to answer.
"He didn't come to you because you're weak..."
"John...a dream..."
"You'll never save anyone."
"John...wake up..."
"Weak...cursed...no one to love you....
"JOHN!"
*****
"NO..." John began to scream, swallowing half of it as he sat in the bed. A second to recognize the Zero Division medbay, waiting to see if Titor had heard him. There was no sound of movement from the other side of the room and John hope that Titor hadn't been in there. He scramble for Kit's book, place on a chair at the side of the bed. "Kit," he whisper, placing his hand on the cover of the book. He felt her, light and love, chasing the last of the darkness of the nightmare from his mind. "You're ok."
'Just a nightmare. Everyone alright. Going punch him in nose next time.' John curled around the book, as if his body could protect it from all harm.
"I'm sorry...he step on your tail and kick you..." he whisper. "I didn't do anything to try and stop him." He finger the stone in his hand, unable to make out the detail on it in the dark room. "I'm not a good partner."
'Scare... like I was for you... but now true partners,' Kit said, feeling her light hugging him.
"Kit?" he ask. "What is this stone for? Why did it come from your book?" The light just seem to cuddle into his mind more. "Please, Kit, they worried that it might be dangerous. Is it a soulstone, like Lady Maya suggest?"
'It's your...no one else can take it,' she said, much like she had done when Khit'to took the stone from him so they could examine it. 'Bite him next time he tries to take it.'
Yeah, just like she had bite him so that he would release her and she could try to get the stone back to him. "How long have we been together...no how long have I had your book? It's been almost 12 years now. Why won't you tell me what this stone is?"
The light shook against his mind, so afraid. 'Just want to be partners.'
He sigh. "I want to know Kit and so do the others. Please trust them...trust me." He rub his hand over the book, remember how close Howl's weapons came to the book. He was glad for the treatment that Khuj'a had done to it, even if did manage to dodge out of the way from Ryuuga's attack. "Will it hurt any of us?"
'Not dangerous,' she said. 'Sleep now?'
"Yeah, sleep now." He uncurl from around the book but kept his hand on it. Still, it was some time before John finally found dreamless sleep.
