XX stopped coughing but he was also silent
Sora ran in and saw XX "so that where he went! dam it XX!" he yelled
((roxas is XX master right?))

(( Yes, he is- Roxas controls the Samurai. I think it's on the front page, if you ever need to check. o 3o ))

"Ah-!" Demyx leapt back, summoning his sitar. "Sora!"
Nini was too wrapped up with 20 to even notice the commotion, or the blonde and brunette poised for battle on either side of her. She kept rocking him back and forth like a child, whispering conforting things in his ear- but more or less to nly comfort herself.

Sora glared at Demyx and chuckled "im not here to fight, but if you want one, your gonna get one"

Demyx paused to think about his current situation. "Um, okay..." He slowly drew back, although holding his sitar out just to be safe.

Sora walked over to Nini and XX with his keyblade drew "how is he?"

Nini looked up at Sora and shook her head, then looking back down at the motionless 20. "No..." She sobbed, although there were no tears.

Sora moved closer and smiled a bit "XX come on, you can do this, wake up"
XX coughed a bit more and then he lifted his head "whats going on?"

Nini found herself suddenly unable to breathe. Her words caught in her throat and began to slowly cholke her, enough so she felt she so needed oxygen that she had to thrust her face up against 20's in the closest thing to a kiss she could muster. It wasn't very effective, of course, and looked more like a nuzzle, but it was the ebst she could do.

XX looked up at her and was shocked, his face didn't say it, it was the way he was struggling to say a word

Nini's own breathing was heavy, waiting for a reply, whether it be good or bad. "20? please say something..." She muttered, a worried look on her face.

XX chuckled lightly "you... you kissed me... now... now if i die... i can die happily" he said happily

"N-no- you're not gonna die, okay? That's not gonna happen." Nini looked up at Sora, clearly distressed and needing help.

Sora kneeled down next to XX and smiled "your a samuria, and your Roxas's favoret one, he wouldn't like it if you die"

Nini nodded. "Yeah, listen to Sora- he's right. You don't want to dissapoint Master Roxas, right?" She suggested, hoping the Samurai'd agree.

XX thought then it hit him, he got up quicker then usual "im ready to fight till death for master Roxas"

Nini kept her hands on his chest for a moment, standing up with him. She then wrapped an arm around his back, allowing him to partially lean on him. "Sora, will you go get Tai for me?"

Sora nodded and ran to Tai "tai, Nini needs you"
XX chuckled a bit "why do we need Tai for?"

"Just in case you need to lie down, he can carry you." She answered, reffering to Tai's shockingly useful cubes of whatever-they-were.

XX tilted his head "i feel fine" he said wobbling a bit "im great, ready to fight anything"

Nini laughed. "No, no you're not," She said. "You need to sit down."

XX sat down and started to puff and pant "why do i feel like a old man?"

Tai moved closer towards XX and nini but couldnt take his eyes off of Demyx feel a bit of nervousness. "Master Demyx" he said bowing in front of him. Looking over at sora he had thought to capture him, but seeing as how kind he has been towards the others he couldnt.

Demyx bore a puzzled expression, his face twsited in confusion. "Yeah, umn- could someone please tell me what's going on here?"

"You're tired." Nini explained, rubbing him gently on the back. "20, will you set up the stretcher-thing again for him?"

XX smiled as he layed back down "im not tired, its probably boredom"

Nini laughed. "Whatever you say,"
