Phoenix faintly hesitated in her mind about being in his arms when Naka saw him, but she didn't have much time to think about it before she looked to Naka weakly, her injured, slowly healing hand swung limply and she faintly looked to her other hand on her stomach.

Naka dropped the dango she was eating when she heard the voice. She didn't look around. It couldn't be...No. It couldn't. It must've been hallucinations. Yeah, that's it. Aiden's past was haunting her mind again.

"Naka?" Aiden set Phoenix down, and looked around.

"No...No...It can't...He...He's dead..." Naka abandoned the kitchen, and ran to the spare bedroom. She took the sheets of the bed and hid in the wardrobe, blocking her ears.

"Hm? Where is she?" Aiden asked Phoenix. He kept an arm around her, in case she fell or collapsed.

Phoenix shifted a bit and coughed, straightening her legs before she located her chakra. "Can....you just stay in the kitchen for a second...?" she asked him quietly, looking up at him, answer or none, she lightly slipped away from his arm and wobbled once before walking steadily into the spare bedroom, opening the closet door slowly, hesitantly as she knelt down to see Naka.

Aiden nodded and hoisted himself onto the kitchen counter, waiting.

Naka shut her eyes and blocked her ears, cowering under the sheets. 'The hallucinations were never this real...why is this happening? Someone help me...Danna must be dead...' She shut her eyes so tightly, tears leaked out. She didn't notice the door open, neither did she notice Phoenix there.

Phoenix frowned gently as she watched Naka, her arms moved out hesitantly to hug her to her and sighed, tentatively petting her hair in an attempt of reassurance. Fright deep down that she might not have helped at all. She whispered her name softly, oddly calming for such a self controlled, shy girl.

Naka jerked when she was touched. She slipped the sheets onto her head, making her look like a lump of shaking white cloth. "No! It can't be! He's dead! DEAD!"

Aiden heard Naka shout, and frowned. He got off the counter and walked to the room, standing next to Phoenix.

Phoenix sighed and whispered, closing her eyes. "Naka-chan....brought him back....for you....wanted you to have him back if you believe me..." She told her, before she could cover her ears again and she backed away from the both, folding her arms around her breast as she stared at the ground.

Naka looked up, and her eyes widened. It was Aiden.

"Hiya, hon. Sorry I've been away for so long." Aiden bent down and kissed her tear-stained cheeks. He smirked and pointed to Phoenix. "Your friend her brought me back to life. She must really care for you, Naka."

Naka watched, shocked at first. Then she jumped out the wardrobe, leaving the sheets. She hugged Phoenix, and for the first time in years, broke down crying.

Phoenix watched the two for a time, blinking a bit when Aiden pointed to her. She shifted in her spot then froze in surprise, seeming to catch Naka and she shuddered, her face softening and she lowered a bit as she hugged Naka, glancing to Aiden as she stroked her hair tentatively.

Aiden nodded once. He walked out the room to the kitchen, giving them some privacy. Naka kept crying for some time, clutching Phoenix and her kimono. After she finished hiccupping, she looked up at Phoenix and smiled widely. "Thank you, Okaa-sama...This is the best gift anyone could ever give me."

Phoenix softened her gaze to him and sighed softly, lowering to her knees to hug and stroke Naka's back soothingly. She looked down to her as she spoke and seemed to relax, softly closing her eyes. "You deserve it...." Was all she whispered softly.

This made Naka break down into tears again, though they were tears of happiness. Aiden came back in, covering his ears. "If you don't stop, I'll go deaf." He smirked and brought the two girls into a tight bear hug.

A hint of a smile twitched her lips as she hugged her and she looked up to Aiden as he came in. She tilted her head to the side then blinked as she was trapped in between them both in a hug. She glanced to Naka, her look soft and smiled again.

Naka squealed. "Danna, I'm squished, I'm squished!" Aiden chuckled and let them go, though he left a hand on Phoenix's hip. "Well, now that I'm back..." "...let's celebrate," Naka finished his sentence for him, smiling. "With sake," he added with a grin.

Phoenix blinked as she looked between them both, a sheepish smile creasing her lips as she attempted ignoring his hand. "I can...get some.." She said softly, her weakness just appeared gone as she hid it and rubbed her arm.
