CHAPTER 3

When Aerith had come home she had blown a fit when she saw how bad Namine's legs were. Auron had told the kids to go upstairs not wanting them to see him get told off by a... GIRL!

"You should've been with them!" Aerith shouted at him putting her hands on her hips. "I don't want to hear your excuses!" She continued silencing him before he could speak in defence.

Auron stood up. "You always say that you need your so called 'personal space' " He screemed at her. "So much that sometimes you forgetyour own family!" He bitterly said.

The two were on the verge of tears. Aerith stomped up stairs. "Feel free to sleep on the couch." She called back.

"Glad to." He replyed hearing the bedroom door slam shut.

Upstairs four children were wondering what had happend. Namine quietly cried. "It's my falt. Isn't it?" As much as her brothers tried to comfort her she still kept beliving that it was her falt that this had happend.

"It's not your falt." Riku hugged her trying to calm her down.

The other two boys looked at each other. "I think it is." Roxas told them reciving a glare from Riku. "I mean what if they never get back together? They might get rid of you." Namine cried harder. Sora gave Roxas a bang on the head.

"Shut up Roxas!" The two boys harshly whispered as to not let their father know they were there. "Well this is the first ever fight they've had!" Roxas continued getting his by Riku this time.

"SSShhhh! Dad at whatever the time is. Kids scramble!"Riku told them helping Namine to her feet. They all ran to their rooms. Riku shared with Namine, Roxas with Sora.

They all hoped their parents would be in a better mood the next day.

It seemed like forever but at last tomorrow came. Riku was tired from staying up all night hearing his mom cry. "Riku!" Namine shouted trying to wake him up.

Riku opend his eyes and rubbed his eyes. "What?" He asked pulling the covers over his head only to have them pulled down again by Roxas who was sitting on the end of his bed.

"Bro. Do you have any idea what time it is?" Sora asked him. Riku shook his head. "Well lets just say that mom wants you up for dinner."

Riku's eyes widend. He had slept in until 12:00 in the afternoon! "I'm up!" He said flipping himself out of bed.

"Ewwww!" Namine cried. "Put some clothes on!" Riku looked down at himself and blushed.

He pushed his younger sister and brothers out his door while he got dressed. "Riku! Hurry up!" Aerith called from downstairs. "It's going cold!"

Riku ran out of his room and fell down the stairs. Everyone sat down at the table except Auron who wasn't there. "Where's dad?" He asked Aerith.

Aerith sighed. "He's gone out with Braska. They... have to... talk about... things." She explained trying to make herself clear.

Riku nodded and dug into his meal. Namine hadn't touched a bit of her food, instead she moved it around with her fork. Riku and Sora notised but Roxas was to busy shoving food down his neck. "Namine are you ok?" Sora asked her.

She looked up at them and nodded. "I'm not hungery." She said getting of her flat cushion thingy (I dunno if you've notised but in japan and on on ffx an x-2 they all sit on small cushions) and walking upstairs.

The three boys looked at each other. "Oh well more for us!" Roxas shouted taking some of her mangled food. The other two looked at each other an also got up. "Ok! More for me!"

Riku and Sora sat down. "Is it just me or has Namine been eating?" Sora asked Aerith who was polishing.

Aerith looked down at her son. "Uh sure... whatever." Sora and Riku frowned their mom was so busy being angery with dad and the

house she didn't even notise them.

"Mom! Listen!" Riku shouted at her.

"I'm sorry Riku but I've got better things to do with my time." She said.

Roxas came out from the dinning room holding his stomach. "I don't feel so good."

"You shouldn't have eaten Namine's food aswell as ours." Sora said. Then Namine came down stairs.

She walked over to her mom the best she could. "I thew up." Aerith looked at her daughter then just ignored her.

"Mom! Did you hear what she said?" Sora asked her. But she just ignored him too.

Riku looked at his sister concernd. "Sora. Go get dad. Mom said he's at Yuna's house tell him that Namines sick and moms acting wierd." Sora nodded.

Sora ran down the streets of Bevelle untill he came to Braska's house. He banged on the door screeming for Auron. At last Mirage

opend the door. Before she had a chance to say anything he ran past her. Auron was in the living room talking to Braska. "Dad!" He shouted. "Namine real ill and moms acting wierd!" Auron ran out the door back home.
