CH. 12 Today Comes Tomorrow

"What about her?" 2D asked, returning the hug.

"Well, she broke her arm, and has cuts everywhere, I meant hat literally. Her boots melted, and her clothes are ruined. But she is also emotionally damaged, I think what happened scarred her for life. Trust me, it wasn't fun sitting in my room and hearing her yelp and cry in pain, but it was worth it to help." Luna hugged 2D tighter. "It was really scary"

"Is she going to be okay?" 2D asked, hugging her a little tighter.

"Yes, in a few months or so she should be all healed up and ready to play again." Luna let go and walked him to her room. "Stay in here, I have to go break the party up." And with that Luna hopped out of the room leaving 2D to sit with Noodle. He took a seat on the white bench in front of the bed and saw Noodle under the covers. He bent forward and petted her purple-tinted hair. "Noodle" 2D sighed. There were cuts allover her face. 2D sighed again and continued rubbing her hair until she whimpered. "Shuushi" she said and 2D jerked his hand and sat very still on the bench. Where is Luna about now? He thought to himself. Noodle whimpered again and mumbled "Itoma, shuushi." He realized that she was asleep, and leaned back in relief. She whimpered louder and kicked around it the bed. He stood up and bent down to her ear whispering "Yuttarishita" over and over until she stopped, which was in a minute or so. He laid his hand on her wet hair and continued his previous stroking. Eventually, the hand dropped lower onto her face. It landed on a cheek and felt a wet spot. He wiped it away and gave her a kiss, not on the cheek, but on the lips. She didn't move and he thanked himself, what would she think if she knew that he had just kissed her? 2D shuddered, knowing she would probably be repulsed.

"Never again." He said aloud. He sat back and heaved another great sigh, meanwhile, Luna was in the lift, on her way to the club level. The doors opened and she walked into the poster-lined corridor. She rested her face on the door and listened to an awesome bass solo. Then, the drums took over the song and rocked the house. The faint sound of rapping could be heard and she assumed De La Soul was there, again. The handle clicked and she stumbled in. There was a blue transparent person walking around and shaking the whole room with his step. Murdoc was playing his bass with his long snake-like tongue. Luna was mesmerized by the sight, but quickly snapped out of it when a drunk blew some smoke in her face, merely to be rude.

"Al'whight, al'whight, parties over you drunks, get out of here." She pressed a button and lights as bright as the sun came on. They all groaned and started to stand up and leave. "Will Gorillaz please follow me, there is something I think you both need to see." Murdoc went over to Russel and punched him in the arm. He immediately jerked up and the blue man disappeared.

"Wha- Mudds, what do you want?" Russel said.

"The girl wants us to 'see something', get your fat arse up!" Murdoc pulled Russel up and pushed him toward Luna. The last few people left and Luna locked the door. She led them to the lift and ushered them into it. "Tell me, what do you want us to see?" Murdoc asked.

"You will see." Luna replied and pressed the INN button. The ride down to the INN was slow and quiet. Murdoc was still thinking about what had happened earlier that day. Russel was thinking of it too. The door opened and the three of them walked out into the entryway, and through the doors to the corridor. Luna walked down to 11A and opened the door. There, on the white bench, was 2D. He was bent over, hands on his knees, praying.

"I thought you were Buddhist?" Murdoc said. 2D jerked his head around and rolled his eyes. He turned his head back to the bed and Murdoc noticed that it was slowly moving up and down, in a rhythm. "What is it?"

"Don't you mean 'who'" Luna corrected. She walked in and asked 2D "How long has she been sleeping?"

"As long as you've been gone, she has been sleeping." 2D replied. Luna walked up to the bed and shook it gently. A light moaning emitted from it, and she bent her head down and whispered something. The form slowly rose up, and the covers slipped down. The figure slipped down from the bed and hobbled toward them. Luna put her arm around it and led it to the light. It came out and shielded it's eyes with the arm that wasn't around Luna's neck. The arm was cut and bruised.

"Noodle" Russel and Murdoc said in unison. Russel went up to Noodle and put his arms around her in a big hug.

"Not too hard, Russel-san" she said, returning the hug a strong as she could. They broke apart and Noodle leaned back on Luna, who immediately put her arm around her neck.

"How…why…what happened Noodle?" Murdoc asked. Noodle shook her head.

"Later, I will tell you all later, but for now, let us return home." Noodle looked over at Luna, who was still helping her up. "Thank you for your hospitality, but we really must go" Noodle hugged her and started waking to the door, unsupported, and fell. "UNKO!" she screamed. 2D walked up to her and picked her up. He carried her in his arms to 9A. He let her down and slide his key in the lock. It opened and he walked her in. Noodle stood in the doorway as 2D crammed his clothes into his suitcase and walked back to the door.

"I'm gonna get Mudds to carry it for me, so I can carry you, so you don't have to walk coz you got cuts and it must hurt to move." Noodle lowered her head and looked at her damaged body. Scabs were forming and blood was running down the side in a small little river. She raised her head and rested it, looking up, on the wall. 2D opened the suitcase again and removed a shirt. He knelt at Noodle's side and wiped her leg with the shirt. Noodle gasped and looked down. 2D rubbed off the river of blood with his captain-howdy shirt and replaced it in the suitcase. "Be right back, love, gotta give Mudds the suitcase, so I can help you." He walked out of the door, and into the corridor to give Murdoc the suitcase.
