    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Closed X: The step into other worlds

Kirita stepped back. This man had harmed the one she loved, and caused her herself to hurt him. Her eyes flashed green again through her angry glare, and she brandished the sword-knife.
 
The man stood and stared directly into Kirita's eyes. For a moment, his smile faltered. But then he closed his eyes and laughed.
"I have no time to waste on either of you. Perhaps at another time." The man's voice was mainly dark, but it also had a humorous tone.
"Mend yourself." With that, he whacked Raiquen in the back with the halberd and disappeared before Rai's eyes had turned amber again.
 
G-gone... The man is gone...
Then is Rai...?
He's f-finally normal again...

By now, Kirita's middle was coated in a considerable amount of blood. She tried to support herself using the sword-knife, but it retracted back to its normal size and she collapsed. Her breathing was extremely heavy and she was significantly paler. About the only thing that was positive about this was that the wounds had mostly stopped bleeding. She tried to move, but her muscles would not allow it, and she remained lying there.
"P-pain..."
 
Raiquen stumbled over to Kirita, and when he reached her, he felt the full extent of his injuries. Falling to the ground, he tried to lift his arm, but he couldn't.
"Kirita..."
Yakko jumped out from behind a building.
"Is it over?"
 
"It's over..." Kirita choked. But her attention was elsewhere. Raiquen had just fallen right next to her, and she stared at him with her tired-looking eyes. Oh, if only she could move!
"Raiquen..."
 
Raiquen was so close to Kirita, he could feel her breath on his face. With one deep breath, he flicked his blood-stained hair out of the way, leaned closer, and kissed her.
 
Kirita could feel his warm breath on her face as it happened. She had been caught at unawares and was a bit surprised at the kiss. Nonetheless, she fell into it. And to her, it felt... really good.
 
Sephii whipped out a roll of bandages and began applying them to the wounds.

"Tell me if it hurts. I have ointment too." Sephii said.

She stared at them.

Lovebirds... she thought.

Raiquen broke away from Kirita and waited until Sephii was finished. When she was, he slowly and carefully stood up. At the moment, the only thing that was hurting was his head, directly where Kirita had kicked him.
"Thanks Seph."
 
"Thanks, but I still can't get up..." Kirita moaned. It was true that she could move a bit now, and that it didn't hurt, but she tried to and couldn't hold up. And she was still a bit surprised from the kiss, but that was unimportant.
 
"Noooo..." Kirita moaned weakly. Being pulled hurt pretty badly to her. She gave a sigh of relief when Raiquen stopped Sephii pulling on her arm.
"Th-thank you Rai..."
 
"I s'pose we could..." Raiquen muttered. He looked at each building, then his eyes settled on a short, abandoned one. The letter H hung above it, about ready to fall to the ground.
"Let's try there..."
 
"F-fine..." Kirita moaned, "Anything to get off this cold hard ground..." She again struggled to get up, but collapsed having only moved half an inch.
 
Sephii rushed to the hotel.

"Yakko and Raiquen...pick her up. Me and the others...what are your names...are gonna look at the hotel." Sephii said.
 
Yakko, who had been wandering around aimlessly, heard his name being said.
"You called?" He said, popping out of a building.
"Not really, but help me pick Kirita up." Raiquen replied. Yakko came over to help, and carefully they followed Sephii, Kirita in arms.
 
"Wha...?" Kirita asked bewilderedly. She felt herself being lifted by two people, but she only recognized the feel of one pair of arms. Who was the other one?
