Chapter 6

"She's resting now," Arthur told the others, slowly coming out of the girls' shared room. Rei had recovered but she was physically exhausted so she practically passed out afterwards. Mariana chewed on her lip in worry and the twins were holding hands tightly. Antonio and J.C. walked out of the hall and the twins followed. Mariana walked to the upper deck and sighed deeply. Leaning on the rails, she watched the sun slowly sink behind the horizon. Stars speckled the sky and she watched them in an effort to distract herself. The ravenette knew her cousin was fine but still something tugged at her stomach. Ludwig was just as worried; he was sitting next to the sleeping brunette and hadn't gotten up since Arthur started making sure her vitals were okay. She felt a presence beside her and looked over. Kiku was watching the waves lap at the side of the ship and Mariana turned with a blush. They were silent for awhile but it wasn't tense or awkward, just quiet.

"Are you alright?" He asked and she jumped slightly at the unexpected noise. She looked down but shook her head.

"No, I'm worried about Rei; she's always been the one to take care of us not the other way around," Mariana replied and he nodded in understanding.

"I remember when the same thing happened to Yao and Alfred, Yao is my family and Alfred was the first person to befriend me on this ship besides Ludwig, they were both taken from some rival pirates, all of us were worried but I think Arthur, Ivan, and I suffered the worst," He said, brown eyes locking with the girls own. She placed a hand on his shoulder and squeezed it.

"Wasn't I cheering you up?" He questioned and she laughed.

"Yeah but we both got lost in our stories but it's nice to talk to someone, Rei's really the only one I can talk to," Mariana said and he chuckled. They were silent for a few more moments before loud footsteps alerted them of someone else arriving.

"Arthur said Rei should be up in a little bit," Feliciana was apparently the messenger and the two nodded. The ginger soon ran to the spot J.C. was occupying and took his arm with her hands. Looks like Feli got someone, Mariana thought and her eyes drifted to where Antonio and Lovina were as well. She was the only one without a special someone. Apparently Kiku took her silence as worry because he placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Rei will be fine, I'm pretty sure she's beating whatever's keeping her asleep as we speak," She laughed loudly but smothered it in embarrassment.

"Sorry," She apologized but he just smiled softly.

"I don't mind, I like your laugh, it's cute, suits you," He said and her face turned red. She didn't know how to respond to that, he made her feel so shy and giddy. Something tugged at the pit of her stomach whenever she thought of him but now maybe it was just because of Rei. When she looked back, in one fluid moment he had pressed his lips to hers. She forced her wide eyes to close and relax into it. She wrapped her arms around his neck and his around her waist. Mariana was getting lost in the feeling when Feliciana yelped in shock.

"Rei's awake!" She shouted and Mariana pushed Kiku back lightly.

"I'm sorry, we have to make sure she's alright," She said and they ran after the others as they raced down the steps. Arthur was standing in front of the door with a stern look on his face.

"She's not fully awake so be quiet," He informed them and they nodded. They girls pushed past everyone else and rushed to her side. The girl's tan skin was still pale but it was better than it was before. Her head was lolling to the side in a slow movement but it quickly slowed to a stop. Ludwig was clutching her hand and stroking the back of it with his thumb. He squeezed it tighter when it seemed she was about to wake fully. Everyone waited with bated breath as her breathing went irregular not the usual like when she was sleeping. Mariana squeezed Kiku's hand and he returned it. J.C. was leaning forward in anticipation while Feli, Lovi, and Antonio just watched with wide expectant eyes. Arthur passed a hand over her and a green glow emanated from her before it died down.

"It should only be a few seconds now," He told everyone and they nodded. True to his word, her eyes fluttered open and looked around the room before shutting once more.

"Ugh, my head!" She groaned, clutching her head and sitting up. Her green eyes were unfocused and had a glaze over them. She shook her head quickly and put her feet on the ground.

"What happened?" Rei questioned, seeming not to fully focus on anyone and was just asking questions. She could probably only see outlines of people.

"You got hurt trying to help the others and yourself," Ludwig answered and she landed on a spot over his head. Everyone exchanged worried glanced but would get to that later. After blinking several times she finally was able to focus entirely on everyone. She cocked and eyebrow and looked at all of them. What she said next made their stomach drops and eyes widened in a mixture of shock, worry, and fear.

"Who are you guys?"

Done! Finally my 'editor' has been begging for a new chapter so here you go! I wanted a more suspenseful twist but she'll get her memories back, next chapter might be extra long but this is it for now.
