Chapter 4: Exhaustion
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
-Owl City
Everyone sat down alongside Kairi. They all sighed, leaning against the walls and giant chairs, to exhausted to keep standing. Emi sat next to Namine, with Namine resting against Emi. Kairi and Namine both looked like they were going to cry, but Xion, Saïx, and Emi remained strong, keeping their faces neutral and clear. If anything everyone looked tired and ready to fall asleep right there.
"I think it's time for you guys to go to bed." Xemnas spoke up, after it became obvious that Namine was falling asleep.
Everyone slowly got up, too tired to question anything or try to think of what's happening. Emi got up and as she did she picked Namine up, allowing Namine to continue sleeping uninterrupted. Riku came up to take Namine away from her. He held his arms out to take Namine.
"Your Riku right?" Emi asked. Riku nodded.
"Alright well I have to give you a warning. Listen because you're never going to get this again. If you ever hurt my sister in any way I will personally make sure that you will never see life again. If you ever hurt her you will regret it for the rest of your miserable vampire life." Emi said it so calmly, in a way that became eerie. It was all serious, leaving no room for doubt that if Riku did that he would pay.
She then handed Namine to Riku.
Sora quickly filled in the awkward silence. "So you have to share a room for your mate, until we can arrange for other rooms, as seeing that you guys showing up was unexpected."
Grumbling followed each statement as people started to slowly leave. Saïx left following Xemnas, Kairi had to be held up by Sora, and Xion walked proudly trying to hide her tiredness. Riku left with Namine still asleep in his arms, and as he walked out Emi shot him a look of 'heed my warning'. Finally only Zexion and Emi were left. She got up and walked towards him.
"Are you okay?" Zexion asked.
"Yes, it's…...it's just a lot to take in." she said, a strain of exhaustion entered her voice at the end of her sentence.
Zexion started walking towards his room. This time Emi walked alongside him, instead of behind him. Once again there were so many twists and turns that she got lost, and had to rely on Zexion. She felt her eyes starting to grow heavier even as she walked. She had to place her hand on the wall, just to keep herself steady. Zexion noticed, but didn't say anything, trying to let her retain something after it seemed like everything was taken away. Emi felt her eyes grow heavier and knew that this time she wouldn't be able to raise them back up.
"Zex…" she tried to say his name, but couldn't get it out. She just felt herself drifting off. As her eyes closed, the last thing she saw was the walls rushing past her.
Before she hit the ground, Emi felt herself getting caught by a pair of arms.
"Got you." Zexion said.
Emi finally let herself fall into sleep.
In the next chapter Emi meets everyone. That's going to be interesting to say the least...
