Aqua nods and smiles brightly, "I can do that... Thank you."

"Hey, not a problem. If anything, I should be saying sorry."
It was difficult for me to admit, and I rubbed my hair.
"A lotta crappy stuff went on prior to about three or four years ago. Even once I got in and things went back to the way they should be, we weren't able to find everyone like you. People we should've had from the beginning."
I looked up at the ceiling. "It's my job to make sure that that doesn't happen again."

"You have a big job," Aqua comments as she stands and heads over to Neku, she gives him a quick hug. "Keep up the good work... But I need to be going... Have Shiki text me when you need me... Alright?" She couldn't stand being in this house one more minute! Its like being stuck inside a magazine!
She then turns to Namine, "Thank you for allowing me into your home and for being such a great hostess." She ducks her head a little before heading towards the entry hall and shortly after out the front door.

As I nod to Aqua I can feel my vision slip a little and blink, pushing away any worry I may have. Need to stay awake!
Everything that everyone has been saying blurs together as I do my work, although I can make out noises. Is someone crying? I look around and see everyone being serious and not a single tear being shed.
I shake my head, "Hey... Anyone up for a cup of coffee?" Shifting is heard next to me and suddenly my heart is gripped with panic. "...Or maybe some mint... tea?"
-MOMMY! No, she couldn't be...-
Ah, shit! My world begins spinning and my pen falls from my fingers, clipboard grabbed tightly onto.
-BANG!... something red...-
My eyes dart to Neku's a moment before I feel hands on my shoulders. Warm and protective, my body relaxes and I let the memory flood my consciousness...
-blood, is this what blood is?
Bang! Bang!
More loud noise...-
Suddenly I feel heavy and tired, a yawn escapes me and I let go of my body completely. Giving into the memory and letting it bring the pain that comes with it. And my world goes black then red...
-red sticky blood
clings
PAIN
to Mommy and I look up...-
...Poor Neku...

As Nami collapsed, I felt searing pain split my brain and I almost fell down with her. It felt like my mind was being ripped open, and I couldn't help but think...
This pain... it's so familiar....
I grabbed her. "Namine, are you alright?!" But she was already out. Luckily, I'd aught her before she hit the ground. That would have been bad, if she'd hit her head or something. I'd probably get blamed for it, too, knowing her.

Shiki looked over, wide eyed. "Namine!" She crouched down next to Neku, wishing Aqua would have stayed a few extra moments. She stared at the unconscious blond, worry officially the first thing on her mind.

"What the hell?!" Sora yelped immediately looking around, half afraid there was an attack. He didn't see any holes from a sniper rifle...there was no food or drink any of them ingested to indicate poison...maybe a psychic attack?
"Neku what's wrong with her?"

I shook my head.
"I dunno... it's happened to her once before that I know of," I said. "Don't know what caused it, though - we were on the phone and she started sounding woozy so I went out to find her and she collapsed just as I got there." I looked up at Angel - he'd been with her at the Crossing today, and I'd seen them out together before. "Do you know what's going on? Today, something... something really freaky happened during the Crossing and I think that might have something to do with it."
I've passed out when I overuse my powers before. I hoped that that was all it was this time.

((OOC: Ang's POV... B/c they need to know Nami is okay!!!))
Angel nods, "This is normal for her... Its a mixture of over exertion and obtainment of suffering... She says she can enhance abilities... But the price is her own life force... Or at least it tires her out." The blond shrugs and then adds. "She's always been like this since our first big crossing, assistance tires people out, especially when they give it their all for someone they care about... She'll only be out for a few minutes this time though..."
He then reaches out towards Neku, "I can take her from here if you want... She might freak out if she sees your face when you wake..." Seeing how her eyes flashed your color before she passed out. He doesn't add that, instead he just calmly waits for a response, or for his friend to awake, whichever came first.

I nodded. "She's gonna be okay, right?" I said as I handed her over.
I didn't really know him, but Nami seemed to trust Angel, so I guess I could trust him with her.

Angel takes Namine and gently brings her to the unoccupied couch and lays her down. He then sits by the couches front, one hand absentmindedly holding hers as she suddenly curls up and begins to cry, her words mumbles but two words can be made out:
Neku.
Angel.
At his name the blond sighs and gets on his knees and gives her a shake, "Lets not go there today... Wake up my little miss... No bad dreams, okay?"
---
...Wake up little miss...
Yellow begins to fade to blue.
...No bad dreams, okay?...
"...Okay..." My eyes open slowly and and I smile up to Angel, "Hey... Did I pull an all-nighter again?"
Angel just smiles and pulls away to show me the room. Shiki, Sora, and Neku all look like they've been here for a bit. And their worried seeming, and- "OH!" I sit up and flush at the same time as the previous moments come back to me. "Did I... Did I pass out?!"

I nodded. "We were all really worried about you," I said.
She'd said my name; what was all that about? And Angel had mentioned the ightmares - nightmares which I hadn't told him about. Did she have them a lot when she passed out like that? 'Obtainment of suffering,' Angel had said - what the heck did that mean? Did it have something to do with that weird thing that happened during the Crossing?
And what had that been, anyway? And why had Nami's eyes flashed green for just a moment before she'd passed out?
((BTW, I know Neku's eyes are blue, but whenever he uses his powers, they turn green so I thought that Nami's might turn green when she's experiencing Neku's pain.))

((Oh? I always thought they were grey o.o All wellz~<3 and okay... Want me to change that?))
I look around the room and my eyes land on Neku, a stabbing pain shots through me a moment before it settles as if nothing happened and I frown before, "Neku... When this is all over...we have to talk."

"Uh, okay?" I asked, worried.
Where the hell had that come from?
((And nah, it's totally cool ^^ Likely, at that moment, Neku's eyes were green as well - so Angel saw that their eyes were the same color and connected the dots.))

My body and mind kick back into gear, "What? I needed the sleep, mind over matter right?" I then instruct Angel to fetch my stuff and shove my laptop into my backpack. I take the clip board and pocket my cell phone. Lastly my pen is retrieved and I finish up the coherent parts of my sentence I can remember. "Damn... Do I ever wish someone knew what I was thinking before I blacked out."
Angel, now sitting next to me as if he's afraid I'll drop again, which I might if I hadn't processed... What Neku had readily shared with me properly. But I seem to of seeing how looking at him now brings a great pain to my heart. Sighing I tap my pen onto the paper and then look up, "So... What now?" If we had to move anytime soon I'm sure Angel would insist on carrying me and coming. Stupid, over protective bodyguard! But none the less I wait, knowing my place is below those more experienced... Even if it kills me to admit that makes me lower than Sora as well. I sigh again while waiting.
