"Shes in that room over there..." Eric pointed to the room. "I'll go with you, i have to return someone." He said down to Shizuya as he stood up. "Hey Alex, wanna come?" He asked. 

Alex opened his eyes, a habit he was going to need to get rid of. "Ok." He started to stand and Eric went to help him. "Don't!!" Alex barked, then quieted down, "Touch me. I'm capable of standing." He said flatly, straightening.

"Is it? I've always liked that name." James said, looking at her.  

"Okay."Akeno said as Maru then appeared."Hey guys"He said."Hello sister dearest"Maru smirked."Hello Brother Maru"Akeno said,walking towards the room that Tsumai was in.She knocked on the door and waited.

"Come in"Tsumai said,smiling."Really?"She asked James.

Akeno opened the door and poked her head in."Hey there girly."Akeno smiled."Akeno!I've missed you!"Tsumai said,her voice was as soft as silk.

"Yeah, I don't know why though..." James answered and looked up as  woman's face appeared in the doorway.

Eric frowned, but hide the hurt that Alex had caused by answering him, "Ok, just trying to help." He said quietly.

"I din't need it." Alex replied even quieter, a hardness in his voice. 

"Alex be nice"Maru said,softly.

Akeno walked into the room and over to Tsumai."James this is my sister,Akeno.Akeno,this is my husband James"Tsumai smiled.

"Nice to meet you"Akeno said.

James smiled, "Nice to meet you." He replied.

Eric left Alex's side and went to Tsumai, handing Shizuya to her and stepping back. "Look at the family!" He said happily.

Alex frowned at Maru's words. Im not a nice person anymore I guess... He thought. After Eric's statement he left, throwing chakra out to see the door. This had become second nature to him now, he would never see James' family. 

- 

Eric looked up at Alex's departure and followed him forthwith. He caught up to him, "Alex!" "Leave me alone Eric." Alex growled, moving quickly and leaving the hospital. He turned down an emoty hallway and Eric grabbed his wrist, pushing Alex forcefully against the wall. "You're hurting me." Alex told him quietly.

"Good. We need to talk, you need to talk to me and tell me whats wrong. I can't read your mind... not anymore." Alex pushed Eric off of him with unexpected force, surprising Eric, he thought that Alex had gotten weaker wince the accident. Apparently not he thought as he stumbled back. But he continued anyway, "Lets go for a walk. Ok?" Eric asked, he thought Alex looked sad and hoped he would agree. "...Ok" 

"So this is my nephew Shizuya"Akeno said.She then saw Kana."And who is this little sweetheart?"Akeno asked,appearing next to James.

Tsumai took Shizuya and hugged him gently.

Maru watched the two leave and sighed.

James watched the two leave, his face screamed 'I want to go'. But he was pulled back to reality when Akeno spoke, "This is Kana." He said, looking back at Kana.

- 

Alex moved first, continuing down the hall slower this time. Eric followed, relieved. He felt like he was losing his best friend, watching his crumble right in front of him. "Will you talk to me?" He asked when they were outside. "What do you want Eric?" Alex asked in exasperation. "I want to know what wrong." Eric said again as they walked. "Nothing." Alex answered flatly as they got farther away from the hospital. "I know you're not acting like this for no reason. You used to be so..." "So?" "So... alive. Fun, loud, hyper... You used to be Alex." Eric said sadly.

"Well, that Alex is gone." Alex said flatly, hearing Eric say that made him feel awful. "Why?" Eric asked, "Because, that Alex was useful. I used to be worth something... Why should I be happy when Im useless? When I can't see my little brother anymore. When I cat see his kids, you, or Maru anymore?" Alex said, shaking his head. "Thats Alex could. Why should I be happy when Im thrown away like I was never worth anything. Like I'll never be worth anything again." Alex raged, they were near the end of the village now. Eric listened, trying to imagine all of these things and couldn't. "Tell me one reason why I should be 'Alive'... Why I should be 'fun, loud, hyper' Alex sneered. 

"Me." Eric said finally, "You should be happy for me. Be fun for me. Be alive for me. You should be Alex for me, for James and his kids, for Tsumai." Eric told him, grabbing his shoulder." For Maru." He said quietly. Alex frowned, obviously not having thought this before. "You're only thinking about yourself!! Sure, what happened to you wasn't fair! It was no where near fair and it shouldn't have happened but you know something? It did. It did happen to you Alex but you can't do this to yourself. To everyone around you. Think of us, its not fairfor us either."

"Yes~ Think about them Alex~ What about them Alex?" Came a familiar voice. Eric's eyes widened, "Orochimaru..." He said quietly.

((DX Sorry, I got carried away *is getting used to literate RPs again*)) 

"Hello Kana"Akeno said,smiling."May I hold her?"She asked.Tsumai watched them and smiled.

"Of course." James answered, handing Akeno Kana.

Eric froze, still holding onto Alex's shoulders. "Hn?" Orochimaru asked, hands on his hips, "Were you asking something or were you just admiring my name?" He asked after Eric didn't say anything. Eric slowly moved in front of Alex, Alex was absorbing Orochimaru's chakra patterns. They were through the roof powerful.  "I was coming for a new male specimen, imagine my surprise when one offered himself up so willingly..." Orochimaru purred.

Eric armed himself, Alex following immediately. "Oh, come now. Be nice. You come come quietly... and I'll reward you for your services." Orochimaru said, his voice raising a little. "Theres nothing you have that I want." Eric growled, getting ready to move. "Oh, I wasn't talking about you~ I was talking about your friend with those wonderful eyes of his." Orochimaru informed the two, raising his eye brows. They both stiffened visibly, and Orochimaru moved.

He had Alex quickly, they fought back surprisingly hard... Orochimaru thought. he was near his limit. He grabbed Alex's arms behins him with and kunai in the other. Alex had lost his focus for only a second and couldn't react fast enough when Orochimaru grabbed him. Eric on the other hand advanced again, and Orochimaru slowly brought his sword up to Alex's neck making Eric stop in his tracks. "Oh!" Orochimaru in inhaled, "You're blind..." He purred into Alex's ear.

"Drop your weapon..." Orochimaru ran his tongue along Alex's face, making Alex cringe. Eric growled, "If you think I'm gonna -" Orochimaru moved the sword half an inch, slicing Alex's skin an a small but steady stream of blood ran down the tip of his sword. Eric threw his kunai away from him. "I dropped it! I dropped it!" He yelled, starting to shake. "Good~ Now leave and I'll let him live. I never said I needed a live specimen..." Orochimaru told Eric. Eric's face contorted into an agonized ex
pression and took a single step back. That was enough and Orochimaru disappeared, Alex in tow,

Maru heard the comotion and appeared beside Eric.He pulled out some shuriken and held them in postion."Let him go Orochimaru.Unless you want today to be your last!"Maru snarled.Suddenly Tsumai's curse mark flared up.Tsumai screamed and got up,walking to the window.She looked out and gasped."Oh no!"She quickly went to change and ran out of the hospital."Orochimaru!Leave my brother-in-law ALONE!"She snarled.

(That was before orochimaru and Alex disappeared.)

Tsumai yelled and cussed."You guys stay here and watch over James and the babies.I"m going after Orochimaru"She said.

James got up, "No!" He grabbed Tsumai from behind. "You're too weak. And he's after you too." He reminded her. "And damn it I won't let you go this time..." James told her, he would go but only after he knew that Tsumai wasn't.

-

Eric starred at the place where Orochimaru and Alex had just been standing. And looked down at where the blood was on the ground. He couldn't believe that had just happened, Alex wasn't gone, he was dreaming. He fell to his knees, dust coming up where he had landed. He didn't take his eyes off of the ground.

-

Orochimaru had appeared just outside of the village, panting heavily and still holding Alex. Kabuto was waiting for him there. "There. Your new specimen." Orochimaru growled irritably. He pushed Alex to the ground and Kabuto tied him up instantly before Alex could do anything about it. "Let go of me you son of a -" Kabuto gaged him, "Tsk tsk tsk. Such a potty mouth. And right in front on Lord Orochimaru as well..." 

"Let me go!"She yelled.She pulled away and went to go find Orochimaru and Alex.She searched outside of the Village and found them.She walked into plain sight."Let him go...NOW!"She yelled.

"James...You need to go find Tsumai and stop her"Maru said,wipping the tears from his eyes.

"Damn, how am I supposed to his his neck if i keep getting interupted." Kabuto pouted. "Then lets go somewhere more private." Orochimaru purred, he had been leaning against a tree with his arms crossed as Kabuto tended to the wound on Alex's neck. Now he pushed himself off. 

-

Alex's eyes widened and he began to struggle again at Tsumai's voice. Kabuto hit him in the back of the head and he p*censored*ed out, going limp as he was picked up again and they disappeared.

-

James was already moving but nodded to Maru as he followed Tsumai. He found her outside of the village just as Orochimaur and Kabuto disappeared with his limp brother in hand. "Tsumai, we'll get him back. Maru needs you." He tried to convince her to come back before he tried to force her. "And the babies are still at the hospital."  

James felt like crying too, but he had to keep strong. "No... You're not useless. You've saved us more than I can count." He helped her stand up. "Lets go, we need to be there for Eric and Maru right now..." James told her quietly.

-

Eric wipped his face. Its my fault...  Its my fault...Its my fault...Its my fault...Its my fault...Its ALL my fault... Eric thought

Eric didn't react, it wasn't her fault it was his fault. 

-

James followed her and knelt beside Eric. "Eric?" He asked softly, resting his hand on Eric shoulder comfortingly. "Don't touch me!" He yelled. James frowned, "Its my fault, I was right there, I could have... but i didn't... I..." Eric shook his head. "I just killed my best friend.." he told himself.
