After a few minutes of looking, Nini found herself following the sound of sobbing. "20?" She peeked into an empty room, tiny windows showing off the glow of Kingdom Hearts and casting a wavering glow on the floor. She caught sight of a bawling- as much as one can with no eyes- 20, curled up and leaning on the wall. He was repeating unintelligible syllables to himself, but Nini managed to make out 'not real'. She slowly crept up to him on silent feet, crouching by his side and wrapping his tiny arms around his bulking frame. "That's right, it's not real." She whispered, stroking his back and burying her face in his shoulder.

XX continued to tearless cry "i knew it... i knew it" he started to repeate "i want to go home... to the real world"

Nini stopped, leaning back out of the hug and placing both hands on 20's shoulders. "When we get our hearts back we can, alright?" She cocked her head to the side and gave him an awkward smile, the tail of her had swinging up to wrap around her arm.

XX nodded "don't i have my heart already" he whispered and sniffed "if not... then thats why im a mean monster"

It was almost a conformation- the way he was talking now- that he'd been young when he lost his heart. "You're- you're not a monster." Nini assured him awkwardly. "But you don't have a heart either. None of us do."

XX looked at her confused "i am... i attack you and said mean things... im a meanie" he said and cried more

"N-no you're not," Nini reasoned, taking one of his hands in hers. "You're not mean. I think you're very- very nice."

XX cheered up a bit "really? you must be my mummy then" he said hugging her

"You're... mum?" Nini stiffened when he hugged her, grabbed her around her waist. "I'm not your mum, 20."

XX looked at her "your as nice as i remember her... im never going to see her again am i?"

Nini found that answering that was hard. She looked down to her feet, sighing heavily. "No, you're not."

XX came out of the hug "i knew it... mummys gone... now im alone... if i go back to the normal world... i will have no-one... i would still be a monster"

"20, how old are you?" Nini decided she'd evade the comment- she didn't really know how to deal with it.

XX looked at her "ummm... i think im 5 or 6" he said and shook his head "i don't remember"
((Sora time?))

(( :yes: Sora Time indeed. ))
-------

--Five or six? Nini certainly knew that he was young when he lost his heart, but she had estimated something around seven or eight- but five? She had no idea what she should do with a five year old.
--It was actually rather strange; without knowing his age, she delt with him with ease and didn't really mind his childish demeanor, but when she found out he was so young, she was completely clueless and most definetley a little frightened- as frightened as one can be with no heart.
--"F-five or six?" She stuttered. If she had had a proper mouth to work with, her jaw would have dropped. "Oh, man..." The Dancer muttered under her breath, looking away for a moment.
--She looked back at 20, sighed in a rather nervous manner, and decided she'd do her best. "What would you like to do now...?" The end of her question was more or less inaudible, as she trailed off into a murmur.

((awesome)) XX looked at her, she seemed a bit weird "are you ok?... you seem worried..." he said and felt a blade go through his back "again?" he moaned and fell to the floor
Sora stabbed hima and his face turned pale "i just stabbed the one i said i wouldn't" he whispered to the others "this is not good"

(( Yay! Drama! :drool: ))

--"20!" Nini exclaimed as the Samurai fell, his armor making a 'clang' noise as it collided with the floor. There was a hole punched clean through him, the tile floor gleaming from under the darkness-seeping mass.
--She screamed, rising to her feet as her face- what little face she had, anyway- twisted into a look of anger and... pain? She didn't know what it was, but it didn't feel very good.
--She jumped into the air, crying out and slashing as fast as she could at all three intruders, although aiming mostly for Sora's head.

--"Sora!" Goofy turned to the Keybearer, shooting a both dissapointed and shocked look at his friend. His look quickly changed, though, when Nini came flying at them, the Dancer flailing and screaming. "Gawrsh!" He exclaimed, jumping back just in time to see Donald reeling back with a nasty gash that stretched from the top of his forehead to the begining of his beak, a fair amount of feathers drifting through the air around him. "Donald!"

--"Gah-!" Donald was knocked back from the blow, hand flying up to press against the bleeding cut.

(( This reply was better five minutes ago, but I accidentally pressed the back button and it killed my entry, so I had to re-type it. :gonk: Opps. ))

((awwww its great though))
Sora was shocked by the blows coming from the dancer, he took some hits and blocked the others, he fell to his knees out of energy "im sorry for that..." he mumbled to the dnace "im sorry... i didn't know it was you two! i was just hacking up everything tht got in my way! you was out side before not here!" he yelled with sorrow and anger

(( Thanks~ ))

--Nini paused, panting and out of breath. She, too, fell to the ground, head focused on the floor. "...Potion." She muttered. "Two."

Sora looked around "i used mine... donald you got one?"

(( Yay for Donald's magic bag that's only there when we need it...? ))

"Of course I do!" Donald said in a 'you don't know that?' sort of voice, grabbing a few High-Potions out of his bag and handing them to Sora.

Sora took them and put them on XX "give him a few minutes and he will be better"
((Mehrana))

Nini nodded, rolling 20 over onto his back. "You're gonna be okay, alright?" She whispered to him in a comforting manner, although, really, it was more to comfort herself.

XX opened his eyes and groaned "ok then... im ok now"
((this would be a great time for them to overtake him again because soras there now :XD))

(( Go ahead- sounds like fun! :3 ))

"Are you sure?" Nini asked, carressing the saide of his face with her free hand.
