Ushi-Sama- TIME TO DIE, BITCH!

Alia decided that she liked riding grav cycles much then she liked driving them. X made it look so easy but Alia could hardly keep it going straight. She had made good time though, she could see buildings now. Soon enough she was in the city. Um, think Alia, where is the nearest hospital. Alia's internal guidance system laid out a map. The hospital was about 3 blocks away. She started to drive down the crowded streets, trying not to hit anyone. Arg, this is taking way to long. Looking around she decided it would be faster to walk. Getting X on her shoulder they she started walking toward the hospital. It wasn't long before they arrived and Alia gave a sigh of relief. Walking into the hospital carrying X attracted a lot of attention. Three reploid doctors ran to her aid, and about five nurses, also reploids, rushed over. The nurses took X and two of the doctors and started down a hall while the other one started questioning Alia.

"Hello miss, I'm Doctor Kuene. Now if were going to be able to help we need some information." Said the doctor in a calming voice. Alia nodded her head and wiped her eye. The doctor smiled, "Ok. First I need your name and the patients name."

"My name is Alia," she said, "And the patient is Mega Man X."

The doctor stared at Alia in disbelief. "THE Mega Man X?" he asked. Alia nodded. "Well in that case I'll get my best people on it. What happened?" Alia explained to him the whole incident, leaving out only the purple aura part. Doctor Kuene nodded and lead Alia to a waiting room. "I'm sorry, but I have to leave now and attend to the other people waiting. When the doctors can tell you anything about X they will come here, so don't go anywhere." Alia nodded and sat down.

About 5 hours later

Alia was worried. It had been five hours since X had entered the hospital and she hadn't heard a thing. Could he really be hurt that badly.she thought to herself as she sat, eyes fixed on the opposite wall.

"Um, miss?" said a voice off to her left. Alia turned her head to she one of the nurses that had been with X standing next to her.

"Yes, what is it?" Alia replied.

"Mr. X is fine and will see you now."

Alia jumped to her feet, "Please, take me then." The nurse nodded and lead Alia down a hall to the room X was in. Alia thanked the nurse and entered the room. X was propped up in his bed. X smiled as she entered the room. "X!" She ran over and threw her arms around him.

X laughed, "Its all right Alia, I'm fine. The doctors fixed me up really well." But X's reassuring words didn't stop the stream of tears that Alia let loose. X put his arms around her. "It's ok Alia, really. As long as your ok everything is fine."

"No X, its not! If I hadn't been such a coward and fought back you would never have gotten hurt. It's all my fault!" She yelled.

"That's not true Alia. Its not your fault that gang attacked us. Don't worry about it." X said, "But now the question is how are you?"

Alia looked at him. "I'm fine" she said through sobs of tears.

"Well then there isn't a thing to worry about it there. I'm gonna be fine and you're fine. Now lets forget out what happened and call the base for a ride home ok?"

Alia stifled a sob and nodded. She didn't know how, but X always seemed to make her feel better. She smiled and put her head on X's shoulder. She really loved X.

A few hours later

X carried a now sleeping Alia inter her room at the hunter base and set her down in her bed. He pulled the covers over her and sighed. He bent down and kissed her lightly on the cheek before heading for the door.

"X."

X turned around, not sure where the voice had come from. He looked at Alia and realized she was sleep talking.

"X. I love you." She said.

X sighed. "I love you too." He whispered as he closed Alia door and leaving her room. He sighed and started down the hall.

"Where you going so fast X?" a voice called out from behind him. X turned around in surprise.

"Oh, hey Zero. I was actually thinking about getting some sleep." X replied sarcasticaly.

Zero nodded. "Well then let me walk you to your room."

X and Zero started down the hall towards X's room. "So X, why did you do it?" Zero said. X looked at him.

"Do what?"

"Why did you go and do something stupid like that? Going out without any armor. All you had was your beam saber!"

X looked surprised. "What do you mean? I think its good to get out of the armor every once in a while."

"But going out without giving anyone any idea where you were going besides 'out' and then not calling for pickup until midnight? Its just not you."

"So I made a mistake, we all do that!"

"But you did it for Alia, no other reason."

"So now your saying my dating Alia is a bad thing."

"Only if you do stupid things!"

"At least I'm dating someone from the same military alignment* as me!" realizing what he had just said X covered his mouth. "Zero, I'm sorry, I didn't mean-"

"No," Zero said, cutting X's apology short, "your right. I have nothing to complain about. Just don't do something stupid like that again." And with that Zero turned around and headed in the opposite direction as X. X sighed. Great X, now your best friend is pissed off at you. Turning back to the direction of his room he headed down the hall with the intention to get some sleep.
