Children of Organization XIII 5

Neo flinched and sat up, still holding Eriol. "Huh....?" She looked around. "Where am I...? How did I get here....?"
Sakura's eyes widened. "H-How do you know you're gonna die?!"
"The illness. Its a fatal one, I'll die of it sooner or later... Right dad?"

 

Oen sighed and moved away from Phenox. "Yes."

 

Neo blinked and looked down at Eriol. She sighed, nodding. "He got it from me..."
Xeno came and sat next to her. "Its okay." He looked at Eriol. "Hey, don't act down in the dumps about it. Just live your life until you DO have to die from it."
Eriol looked up at him and smiled. "Thanks Xeno."

 

"Yes." Oen put his arm around Neo.

 

Neo leant against him, smiling.
Eriol nodded. "Now i'm more eager to grow up. I'm getting rather bored being a child..."
Sakura started to laugh. "Eriol, you can't just CHOOSE to grow up when you want?"
Eriol blinked and blushed slightly.

 

"Zxach did." Phenox muttered, glancing at Zxach.

 

Sakura blinked, looking up at Phenox. "How GrandDaddy?"

 

"Never mind that." Phenox walked into a portal. "You'll know when you're older."

 

Scarlet-Ice followed after him.
Xeno shrugged and picked Sakura up.
Li smiled, walking through as well.
Xeno followed after.

Eriol sighed, frowning. "Sometimes I hate myself..."
Neo blinked. "Why?"
"Well, I'm practically an adult in a childs body. People tell me, you'll understand when you're older but my MIND is already older. Its like being a guy stuck in a girl's body." Eriol hugged his legs.

 

Oen chuckled. "I know exactly how you feel."

 

Eriol looked up at Oen. "Really?" He asked.

 

"Yeah, when I was a little younger than you, I was extremely smart and strong, just ask Xeno or your mother. They will agree. Still, even though in my mind, I was an adult, in body, I was a child, and everyone treated me as such." Oen said.

 

Eriol blinked. "Well either I get this from you or its the re-encarnation thing...."
Neo laughed. "And is your vocabulary from me? I gotta admit, like Oen I wasn't different in my own ways, adapting a larger vocabulary then others and confusing people. On the contrary, Oen was really the only one who could understand me without having to repeat myself in a different manner." She blinked. "There I go again!"

 

Oen laughed. "You're cute when you're smart."

 

Neo blushed slightly.
Eriol laughed too. "Sometimes I wonder if you two act more 16 then your age."
Neo frowned. "Our bodies stop aging then. Do you expect us to still act our REAL age?"

 

"Yeah, why act old when you have the sexy body of a 16 year old?" Oen chuckled.

 

"Or for Xeno is it 'Why act like a sexy 16 year old when I can act 8'?" Eriol smiled.
Neo burst out laughing.

 

Oen chuckled. "Yes yes... we all know Xeno is an immature son of a-"

"Watch it..." Phenox growled. Apparently, he had come back.

 

Neo smiled at Phenox. "Oh we're only joking around. Oen doesn't mean that." She looked at Oen.

 

Oen laughed nervously. "Um... yeah."
