...(continued from chapter 20)...

"He's sick with what?" asked Riku as he rested Sora onto the ground.

"Relax, it's not Hercules Cricket related." said Namine.

"But why did he think I was Axel?" asked Riku.

"Because he was delirious. Hallucinating." replied Namine.

Sora coughed dryly in his sleep. "Hey...it's Leon in a tutu..." he croaked.

"Yup, he's delirious, all right." said Riku. He laughed to himself. "Leon in a tutu, that's gotta be hilarious."

Namine rolled her eyes. She didn't even know who Leon was.

Without another word, Riku picked Sora up and took him to his house. Kairi was there, talking to Sora's mom. They freaked when they saw Riku walk in, carrying a passed out Sora.

"Riku, what happened?" asked Sora's mom.

"Sora's sick." replied Riku."Just a cold, nothing to worry about."

"Well, you go take him to his room while I go get some cold medicine and a thermometer..." said Sora's mom and then she rushed off.

Riku took Sora to his room and lied him down on his bed.

"So, where was he?" asked Kairi.

"He went to the forests to get justice for me and him." replied Riku.

"What exactly do you mean?" asked Kairi.

"He went to go look for Axel and kick his ass, but then he got sick." replied Namine. "We found him, hallucinating there. He thought Riku was Axel!"

Sora's mom came in with a thermometer and a bottle of cold medicine. She stuck the thermometer under Sora's tongue and turned to his friends. "You're all welcome to stay, just give Sora some of this cold medicine once he wakes up and let me know what his temperature is. I've got some things to do." she said and she left.

"I don't know why Sora didn't listen to me." said Namine. "I told him that he shouldn't be going to get justice..."

"Maybe it was the right thing to do." said Kairi.

The thermometer beeped and Riku took the thermometer out of Sora's mouth. "101 degrees. That's pretty high." he said.

Sora then opened his eyes. But his sore throat was a lot worse, so he coudn't even talk at all except for maybe a little croak. If he could talk, he'd have to whisper a really low whisper. Where am I? he thought. Am I at home?

"Sora, you're awake." said Kairi. She poured some of the cold medicine into the little cup that came with the medicine. "Here, your mom wants you to drink this."

So, Sora sat up and drank his medicine. It tasted nasty. His head also hurt really bad, so he lied back down. "Why am I at my house?" he whispered in a raspy voice.

"What didhe say?" asked Riku.

"He said why is he at his house?" asked Kairi.

"Because we couldn't leave you in the forest." said Riku. "You're in no condition to fight Axel."

"I don't care." whispered Sora. "I'll fight Axel and I'll die trying."

Riku shook his head. "You just don't give up, don't you, Sora?" he asked.

"I can't-" whispered Sora until he had a fit of coughing. It must have really hurt for him to cough, because he made faces like he was in pain when he coughed.

"Sora, just go to sleep and we'll come back tomorrow." said Namine. "Youll probably be feeling a little better by then."

Sora nodded his head, stared at his friends, closed his eyes, and immediately dozed off because of the medicine. Riku, Kairi, and Namine left and closed the door.

"Riku, shoudn't you be at the hospital?" asked Kairi.

"Why?" asked Riku.

"Because that's where everyone else thinks you are at." replied Kairi.

"Aw man!" cried Riku. "Well, see you guys later!" he said, and off he went...

So, Sora sat up
