Kingdom Hearts: Struggle for Earth

"Scars don't heal for three years, Shadow." Eden used the name harshly, as though it was as physically as thick as his ego. "Now stay right there, and I'll get some first aid stuff." she headed off to look through closets and behind medicine cabinets for a few things. "Nexas, hun, be a dear and hold him down."
Nexas blinked, but an awful glint came into his eyes at the request. "Yes." he spoke softly, his coat rippling to do the task. A thin straight jacket tied him down to the bed, though a patch was clear for the wound that had been "healing".

 

Riku stayed still, knowing he was in a losing battle. "Its for your own good, Riku..."Sora said. He knew the moment they got back to the islands that Rikus injury needed to be healed with something other than cures and potions. But he let Riku convince him that it would heal over time.

 

Eden came back with some rubbing alcohol, cotton pads, cloth bandages, and a cold compress. She first worked on the healing raw bits, putting an alcohol soaked pad on it. "It'll burn, but better clean it up before having it infected." she mumbled. After making sure it was clean and dry, she allowed Nexas to take off the straight-jacket and thus, allowed her to bandage the wound as tightly as possible. "There. Now just keep this cold compress on it and it'll at least stop any swelling or burns."

 

Riku shivered at the slight pain, but decided to agree with it. "Gonna be hard to focus, but I'll manage..."he said. "You need to stop being so stubborn, you know that?"Sora frowned. Riku just sighed, not really liking the scolding.

 

"Until we leave the gummi keep the cold compress on. And if it starts bothering you again let me know. But knowing you, Sora'd probably be the only one to tell me." Eden sighed. She was getting tired again, and yet she had hoped Valerie had done what she asked with the custard.

 

Sora was actually the one who mixed the custard since Valerie was moreover watching Riku. "I knew Xemnas hit you hard with the final battle but I didn't know it was that hard."Valerie winced. Riku said nothing, keeping his small frown.

 

"He was limping by the end! Besides, he had already been attacked before, he was tired during the fight." Eden sighed. She started to finish the meal, bread, veggies, and the custard put into the oven quickly. "Look, what happened happened. Shadow had been badly injured and is still healing."

 

Riku said nothing. "Ouch....Just...just ouch."Valerie shivered. Sora sighed in defeat at Rikus silence.

 

Eden sighed, patting Valerie on the head lightly. "Val. You gotta remember, we used to think that these were games. But they were very serious. So try to not forget, these two are just as much people as us. They aren't Supermen." she took a long draw of breath, unsure what else to say. "Just try to look at the games as though we had gone through it all."

 

"You make it sound like I don't know all this..."Valerie muttered. Riku frowned, shaking his head as he decided to recoordinate the gummi ship to Bolivia.His back was still a bit sore, but he didn't complain. Sora had gone off while the bickering was going on, nowhere to be seen just yet.

 

"Nevermind, anyway... So we're all close to the sea's altitude and never on mountains for the most part... Right?" Eden seemed to be remembering something as a child, and recalling information she gathered on it. "Well, Bolivia's mostly mountains so there's altitude sickness just waiting to happen to us. And I remember these uh, leaves that's a natural remedy to it, though mom never wanted me to have it as a kid... There's these coca leaves we can find in stores that'll keep us in shape... Though there is a very very small small amount of.... Cocaine?" she sheepishly reviewed her facts.

 

"Good to know someone knows about the country we're going to..."Riku said, looking to Valerie. Valerie just stuck out her tongue, but then noticed something. "Where did Sora go...?"she asked.

 

"Yes well, my only problem is that I have never been good with speaking Spanish. I am good at understanding it, never speaking it." Eden sighed nervously. Nexas reassured her with a simple pat. "But uh... Tia's Daughter I believe can help us."

 

"Alright. That'll be great. That way we won't have a language barrier."Riku said. Sora came back into the room, looking a tiny bit upset. "Awww. What's the matter, mr.sad gills?"Valerie noticed Sora looking upset. "ah...it's nothing."Sora said, a hand over his stomach.

 

Eden quickly ran to the oven to not allow the meals to burn, as the egg souffléd nicely and had a bit of a brown. Taking each serving out and onto the table to cool, she allowed everyone a spoon. "Dig in? First time making Strattas without my teacher..."

 

"Very nice work..."Riku looked at the dish. Valerie eyed it cautiously, being the picky eater that she was. "I'm not hungry...."Sora said, sitting down.

 

"Well, um... Okay, I can save some for later..." Eden glanced at Sora, unsure what to do. "Um... Sora? Can we talk?"

 

"Sure...."Sora went over to Eden, still feeling a bit upset. "Hey...what do you think is wrong with Sora?"Valerie asked. "Dunno... But it's probably something minor."Riku said.

OOC:Oh please please please please pleeeease let me have the last post...kinda sad that its almost over, but meh.

 

Eden sighed, petting Sora's head. Her face was laced with a smirk, not a bad one, but soft. "What's up, Sora? Don't try lying to me, I've pretty much been trained to help with this sort of stuff." she breathed deeply, glancing over at Nexas. "And I've had a lot of practice. Come on, Hun, what's wrong?"

 

"I'm fine....really...."Sora said, hands over his stomach. "Its just I need some...getting used to with the whole pregnancy thing. I mean, I was always active and well-fit and.... well, I'm not used to being so...big."he muttered, blushing. "ah, I mean...er..."he felt really embarassed talking about the pregnancy.

OOC:Alright, 4000th post.... And thus time to say our goodbyes to the rp until the next one. The rp had its ups and downs, but amazing nontheless. and so to say our final goodbyes to the first of SFE's revival, I just have this to say to my fellow rp-people.....
