Kubo Breathing In Series Novels & Stories

“Tomorrow: medical, media, arena walk-through. Sound good?” “As a schedule, yes,” Kai nodded. “My head still has to work on it.” “That’s what this bus is for,” Aria said, tapping her temple. “Let’s start with the simplest. Count to four. Inhale for four, hold for four, exhale for four, pause for four. Ten rounds. Works even over coffee. Science.” Kai leaned back and obeyed. His shoulders gradually released. He breathed through his nose, the bandage around his ribs tightening only lightly. The rhythm filled the seat’s comfortable hollow, the smoky scent of coffee, the monotonous rumble of asphalt.

Kael stood in the center. “Stand straight,” he said. Ariana adjusted her posture. “Breathe.” She followed his instructions. Slow in. Hold. Slow out. Again. Again. **** At first, it felt useless. Just breathing. But slowly her body calmed. Her heart slowed. The pain became less sharp. *** “Close your eyes,” Kael said. She obeyed. “Listen.” She focused. The wind. Leaves. Her heartbeat. **** “Now feel,” Kael said.

She asked softly. “Not really in the state of mind to be remembering that Koa. All I can think about is the FUCKIN VAMPIRES!” I shouted that last part and slammed my fist into the floor, causing the floor to actually crack. I probably would’ve been more impressed with myself if I wasn’t freaking the fuck out right now. “First we need to get your breathing under control. Slow deep breath in the nose for 5 seconds and slowly out the mouth for 5 seconds.” Koa said softly.

Thoughts have emptied my head as I reach him, taking his hands in mine and giving them a squeeze as I make him look toward me. “It’s okay,” I say softly. “It’s okay. Just breathe.” Following my request, Kadeem takes in a slow breath, filling his lungs completely before he releases it. He repeats the action before his shoulders are finally able to relax, his hands no longer trembling in mine. “Good,” I state softly. “Now just a few more steps.” Following me, Kadeem allows me to lead him further into the pool until his feet can touch the bottom. And then he takes another deep breath, his eyes blinking rapidly at the water.

I explain. He nods his head as he has everybody begin to look out for more clues. The four of us then walk towards the water's edge and I show Julia how to make it possible for all of us to breath underwater. She nods in understandment as I demonstrate how to do it and fashions air bubbles for herself and Kevin. I make mine and Dante's before we step into the water as one.

"It's going to be alright, Ruby. Take a deep breath, slowly. Match your breath with me. Could you do that? Yes, like that. Good." Ruby took several more trembling breaths, noticeably easier and deeper than before. Rion bit his lower lips, feeling like he had hit the bottom well of his spirit energy, and now he needed to squeeze out every drop. He couldn't hold back his cough when he felt more than hear a sharp and crisp sound of something cracked inside his chest. "Master...." Ruby whined lowly. Her eyes were still scrunched shut, with brows pinched together in a grimace. Her exhales came out as puffs of smoke in the air. As if the breath she let out was hotter than the surrounding air.

I make sure to take slow, even breaths, in through my nose, out through my mouth, before saying in a voice just loud enough for her to hear. “Breathe, Little Warrior, feel my chest moving, match your breaths to mine. Breath in, 1, 2, 3, hold, 1, 2, 3, breath out, 1, 2, 3.” I repeat it in a loop and eventually feel her begin to breathe with me. When her breaths even out, and I know she is no longer hyperventilating, I kissed the top of her head, whispering, “Well done, Echo, well done, keep breathing for me, Little Warrior, you are safe here.” Her body had relaxed into mine, so I asked the question in my mind. “Echo, can you tell me what just happened?” I felt a shiver run down her spine as s

I tried to regulate my breathing, the way I’d seen the monks do in the documentaries Seraphina used to watch, but my lungs felt like they were pulling in thick, hot wool. Thump. Thump. Thump. The truck hit a series of bumps. My head cracked against the cedar lid. I tasted copper. "Stay calm," I whispered, the sound of my own voice echoing weirdly in the cramped space. "Leo. Luna. Evelyn." The names were my only anchor. But the air was thinning. Every breath felt more shallow than the last. Carbon dioxide began to build, a heavy fog in my brain that turned my thoughts into slow-motion ghosts.

Alpha Killian inches closer to me, places both hands on my shoulders and stares at me dead in my eyes. “Do you need more water before you commence?” “No, I’m good.” I say, breathing hard from nervousness. One lap in ten minutes. Is that even possible for me? “Alright then. What you have to do is close your mouth, breathe through your nostrils only and keep your mind focused on the goal which is one lap in ten minutes. No matter how tempted you are, no matter how much it hurts, do not open your mouth and breathe through it. Nostrils only. That’s how you increase your respiratory and oxygen capacity. Do you understand?”

He took off his shorts along with his boxers, placing the condom onto his dick. He carefully positioned himself inside me, I let out a cry as a tear ran down my cheek. Aspen went slow at first, but once I had got used to the pain he went faster. Our loud moans filled the room and I felt us become one. Once we had both cummed, we both laid on the bed, cuddling. *** "Sky?" I hummed in response, "I have to change you." I nodded at him and sat up straight. He bit into his wrist letting the blood flow down his wrist, he put his wrist to my mouth allowing me to drink his blood.
