The paramedics had arrived and were hauling grandma out of the house by stretcher. Kairi, Sora, and Riku following suit as they saw her being loaded onto the ambulance.

"Please please which hospital is she going to?" Kairi asked a paramedic, her voice shaky.

"Silver mercy's, it's only 10 miles down that way" he said pointing north

"I'll drive you guys there…" Riku offered

"NO!" Kairi yelled at him before looking back at the paramedic "can we please ride with you?" she asked as he shook his head

"Sorry only paramedics and the patients were sorry"

"Phil come on!" the other paramedic called out to him as he nodded back and ran to him. The doors closed and drove off with the sirens going strong. Kairi was holding back tears as Sora had held her close to him

"Kairi we'll go to my place, my mom can drive us there"

"Kairi let me help, we can just take your grandma's car and…"

"I SAID NO!" she shouted at him, giving him a shock. She stared at him, tears finally falling as she began to ball "You just get away from me Riku!"

"Kairi I'm.." he said as Sora pulled Kairi into his chest to let her cry, giving her hair a few strokes as he did. He looked at Riku, glaring at him. Sending him the very clear message to get the hell away from his girlfriend before he shows him what he likes when he's on point with his keyblade. There was conflict in Riku, everything in him wanted to help them and be the friend he has been for them since he was 6. But his head knew better, there was nothing he could do for them after what was done, nothing that they'd allow. He turned from them and began for his home, silence his only friend for his walk back.

Sora sighed as he broke Kairi away from him

"C'mon let's go get my mom" He said as Kairi wiped her tears and nodded. Taking her by the hand, Sora ran with Kairi to his house.

Meanwhile…

"Roxas c'mon what's the matter!" Axel yelled at Roxas' locked bedroom door, Demyx and Larxene next to it as well. Axel had seen Roxas storm into the house about a hour ago while he was on the couch with Larxene. He seemed upset, like when Axel first tried to approach him while he still had his keyblade out he was slightly afraid that he'd have thrown it at him from the look on his face. Roxas headed for his room and Axel tried to chase after him but hit a brick wall, almost literally, when Roxas sealed his room with his keyblade. Then he heard banging at the door, Larxene went to go get it but said the door was locked. They didn't have a backdoor, which Axel always thought as odd but didn't think it to inconvient especially when Roxas was grounded. Larxene tried to yell at the people doing it that she couldn't open the door, but the thing must've been sound proof on their side. It eventually stopped but everyone was a bit ticked now. Axel had only got Demyx because he figured his water could slide under the door so they could reach Roxas, but that didn't end as they wanted since Roxas burned the water into vapor. It seemed their efforts were useless at the moment, that was until Demyx had an idea of all people

"Hey why didn't we just use a dark corridor to get in there?" He asked as Axel eyes lit up with realization, the realization of his stupidity. He flung his hand out and opened one

"Dude nice idea" Axel complimented and began for the corridor before three balls of of ice flew out of it and froze Axel.

"Light!" Roxas yelled out angerly as the corridor filled with light for a moment before vanishing. Demyx and Larxene before looking at Axel who was starting thaw himself.

"He's going to get mad at me isn't he?" Demyx asked as she shook her head

"Not at you" she said as she noticed the water beginning to puddle up under him. "You might want to make sure to get all that water he's melting though" she said as he nodded

"When he's halfway done I will…" he said before looking at Roxas' door "… Roxas you know you're dead!" he said receiving no response as Larxene chuckled

"Your putting it mildly Demyx, he's ground beef that's been lit on fire"

With Namine…

Xion had taken Namine home, piggy backing her all the way back. She set her in her bed and sighed as she pinched her eyes, what a night. Taking out her phone she shot Riku a text message

I'm going to stay with Namine for the night. If you hear anything about Kairi's grandma text me. I don't think I'll hear anything from Kairi

Hitting send she looked over at Namine again and only now noticed how red he eyes were. Still wet from her tears, reaching over to her dresser she pulled a tissue out of the box and wiped her eyes. She felt even more guilty when she saw her stir in her sleep, jerking her body to left with a sad expression sticking to her face. Xion tried to look away, but her heart still sunk seeing her friend not ease in her sleep. Xion took out her phone one more time and flipped down to Kairi, she knew what her response would be angry but she needed to know Namine was alright.

Kairi, I brought Namine home, shes in bed. Roxas is mad at her… and I'm so sorry for what I've done and

She left it there not knowing what else to say, so just sent it, but forgot to erase the last word to it.

At the hospital…

It was truly lucky that they got her to the hospital when they did, with the doctors efforts it was certain that Kairi's grandmother would be ok. Maybe she'd need some heart medication and constant reminders to stay calm but she would be alright. For now she was in bed, unconscious with ivs going in her as Kairi layed hunched over her bed as Sora held her. They stayed silent for most of it with the occasional sigh and heavy breath to break it. The ride there with Sora's mom was actually better than he thought, only a ringing ear from the yelling his mother gave him along with a nice red slap mark across his face. After he explained what had happened, his mother drove them to the hospital. Sora promised his mother that he'd call her later to know what was going on. Now in the hospital room the impact of his actions began to crash in to him as he looked at Kairi's grandmother on the hospital bed. All be it that she would be okay Sora could not help but still feel guilt at what happened to her and his involvement in it

"This is my fault…" Sora said as Kairi shifted from her spot on her grandmother to look at him

"What?"

"This all my fault… if I didn't run then this wouldn't have happened and…"

"Don't start sounding like Riku" she told him as she slunk into him. "You didn't cause this Riku did" she said as he held her close and she began to get slowly more at ease when her ear hit his chest and heard his heartbeat. Sora sighed as he began to stroke her hair again.

"I'm sorry I ran away"

"Just don't do it again anytime soon" she said as he chuckled

"I couldn't leave you when you need me" he said as she let a long breath out on his chest as she smiled. This was why she loved him, he was so loyal to his friends and family. Kairi eventually fell asleep in his arms, then in time so did Sora. And when Kairi's grandmother was awake he was ready to take whatever punishment he disserved.
