Forty-First Shower - [Action and Unintentional Voice, Backdated to 7/12]

[thalassashells]

[It was quiet in the area around KH house. Everyone in the house was sound asleep, or at least pretending to sleep. Kairi herself was in that same boat of being asleep when a high pitch scream suddenly awakens her. She bolts up into bed, glancing around her room and out her window. She pauses, reflecting briefly as she tries to think of what could have possibly caused such a sound. Was it a dream? It must have been.

...still. She quietly slips out of her bed, opening her bedroom door and stepping into the hallway. As she makes her rounds, silently checking on each of the boys first, she soon approaches Xion's room.

Of course, the fact that the girl isn't in her room when Kairi opens the door raises a few alarms.

Okay. Okay, don't panic. Kairi was aware that Xion sometimes would leave the house if she felt uncomfortable. That was normal, sure. But this...she couldn't get that scream out of her mind. Another wave of uncertainty crashes over her as she slips on a pair of shoes, grabs her journal and heads for the front door, stepping out of the house and looking toward the road.

It's then that she spots her; her likeness, her friend, covered in injuries, blood and...burns? Not a time to question. She bolts down the porch of the house, throwing herself down and checking the girl for consciousness. She attempts to shift the girl's body, ignoring the blood that was starting to stain her hands in favor of whether Xion held any signs of life. Realizing that the dark-haired girl wasn't responding, she whips out the journal immediately and flips to a new page without thinking.]

Axel! Come on, wake up! I really need your help out here...it's Xion. She's...it's bad. There's so much...it's too much. I know you're not really asleep, I checked. Hurry!

[And while she waits for Axel, she keeps an eye on Xion for any signs of movement, completely oblivious to the fact that she forgot to filter that message to only Axel.]

K...Kairi? Xion, what happened to Xion? Do you need a healer? [Her voice is muddled, extremely confused. Late night is not her finest hour.]

[The only reason Kairi would open the journal and respond to Aerith is because she knows the Aerith from her world could help. If this girl was like the Aerith she knows...]

We have someone, but it's still really bad. ...could you meet us out here, Aerith? We're at the dome's clinic. We could use all the help we could get. She's going to need a lot of healing and a lot of recovery time.

I'll be there. As soon as possible! [There's shifting sounds as she all but tumbles out of bed, hurrying for the door. The journal closes after a few seconds, but she'll be at the dome clinic in the fastest she can get there--House 41 isn't close to the battle dome, but she's running.]

[By the time Aerith gets there, Mia will have already started on healing Xion, but Kairi has another favor to ask the girl. She approaches Aerith when she comes through the dome clinic's door, looking rather anxious but still trying to smile in a greeting.]

Thanks for coming so quickly. She's this way...Mia's already started, but a second opinion never hurts.

[Kairi gets to see Aerith in rumpled pajamas--she really doesn't stop once she knows there's an emergency--but she's decent and has shoes on so she figures she's good enough. There's still a habitual brush at her hair as she looks toward the clinic, her lips pursing for a second before she puts on her best reassuring smile.]

I'll do my best. Is Xion awake at all?

[meteorical]

[Hey, the rumpled pajamas are actually a good thing; it mean that Aerith literally came as fast as she could, and that itself means a lot to the redhead.]

She's still unconscious, but she's stable. Breathing and everything. It's a start, right?

[She nods.] It goes up from there. I'll go check in on her now. [And she moves to open the door gingerly, not wanting to surprise whoever's in with Xion.]
