I am so tired. I'm so tired my tiredness is tired. Snow and Serah just left with the kids. My kids. Right now, Riku is holding me in his arms, stroking my shoulder-length, pitch black hair. I'm drifting in and out of sleep slowly, not really caring about anything. A knock on our door brings me back to stupid reality. Dammit. "I'll get it." He whispered, lying me down on the sofa. Do I have an awesome husband or what? I hear the door open, some whispering I couldn't understand, and then close. "Who was that, baby?" I asked, curiosity fueling me to stay awake. "N-no one, Saphira." He stuttered. Oh hell no. My Riku-kun doesn't stutter. Ever. "Something wrong? Was it Xion or Ansem or something?" I trudged in to the foyer, my fuzzy, pink Heartless-shaped slippers shuffling across the floor. It so quiet, that, for a second, I thought he was dead. Then I saw him, paler than my wedding dress, clutching his knees, rocking back and forth, on the carpet. He was crying. Fear and pain gripped my lungs. "Riku, honey, are you okay?" He wouldn't answer. I rushed over to him. He let go of himself and held on to me. He placed me on his lap. "What happened?" "I just got news from Roxas and Namine that Xion, Axel, Imani, and Kairi all died this morning." "How?" The tears are coming, and they're coming fast. "Their entire building exploded." I couldn't take any more; I buried my face in his dark blue robe, allowing sorrow to take over and muttering the words "They're not dead…" over and over. My three best friends, no, my sisters, died this morning. And Axel, Imani's fiancé, died too. Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. I didn't feel like walking so I floated my way up the stairs, dragging Riku with me. I lied down on the bed, Riku pulling me under the covers. I'm not going to clean the house. Not going to do the dishes. I'm not even going to call Sora to comfort him. Because I need comfort myself.
