Chapter 6-The Amazing Sleep-talking Girl

In Sora's room, Suzette was sitting on the bed beside Karai. The girl hadn't moved since Sora brought her in. I wonder if she'll be alright. There was no telling just by staring at her. What else could she do though? "I wonder if she'll wake up soon…," Suzette said to herself, just for the comfort of hearing some noise. For the past twenty minuets it had been very quiet.

"She won't," A voice from the air called. "So, while you wait, you should go and take a shower." Suzette jumped up and looked around the room frantically.

"Who said that!"

"That's not important," The voice said again. "Now go! On to the shower! I'll watch Karai." Then it came to her. She looked up to see that weird stage spirit she'd met the day before. She's almost forgotten all about him.

"It's you," She said in an annoyed manner. "Why are you here?"

"To help watch Karai!," Fool said, smiling. "Now, why don't you just go and take a…" Before he could finish, Suzette grabbed him and squeezed him tightly as Sora would.

"Listen to me," She said in an icy tone. "If you tell me to take a shower just ONE more time, I will DESTROY YOU!" She then let him go.

"How do you intend to destroy a spirit?" He asked, somewhat bemused by her threat.

She raised her fist at him. "If I can't destroy you, I know I can knock you around a bit! You may be a spirit, but you can be harmed." Realizing this, Fool flew a few centimeters away from her.

"Dark." Suzette and Fool turned to see Karai still laying there on the bed with her eyes closed. She still seemed unconscious, but she had begun to mumble something. "It's out there. Why won't it leave me alone?!" She was quite for a few seconds before she began again. This time, it seemed as if she was talking to someone. "Thank you. You've made it possible for me to come so far. No! I don't want to hurt them! Never!" More silence.

"Is she alright?," Suzette asked Fool.

"I don't know," He answered.

"Thank you," Karai said once again. "You can help me out of this?" She said no more for a while after that. Suzette and Fool watched her; now curious as to whom in her mind she was speaking to. The girl was indeed having a conversation with someone. Both were eager to know if she would mention the person's name.

"That's what I have to do? How do I find him?!," Karai's voice grew somewhat urgent as she said this. Again, she paused. " That's how! I know him! He can help us then?" Yet another pause. " Then, we can be saved?!! I understand! Thank you Sophie. I'll talk to you later." At those words Karai became silent, and then went on to sleep more normally. She turned to the side, and began to snore.

" Suzette!," Fool said, sounding urgent. " Tell Sora that I'll be back later. I have to go." He then flew out of the room quickly. Suzette stared after him, wondering what in the world was going on.
