Nyx touched her hand to the back of her head, that was where the throbbing pain was centered. Shimatte! It was like a massive migrane, either that or a hang over from one of Seth's monster mixes! One thing was for sure, she had a headache.

"Meow?"

The Otaku looked up. Her vision was still blurry. Something purple, something meowing....

"Seth? Holy-shit is that you?!?" Nyx lifted her head.

The purple moon cat shifted into human form. He rushed to her side and sat her up, reclining her head against his shoulder.

"Nyx what happened?" he questioned her. There were no bruises visible on her body, no cuts. She looked alright. "What did they do to you?"

"They? You mean you saw him? You mean it wasn't a dream?" she muttered softly. She was drifting out of conciousness again.

Seth carried her in his arms. "Hold on, I'm taking you back to the Mori." He grit his teeth at the thought of that blonde jackass. He wanted to get his claws on him and suck him dry.

Something caught Seth's eye. It was a small, beautifullly ornamented urn. Without question he bent down and picked it up and stuffed it inside his jacket pocket.

Back at the Mori, Seth lay Nyx in her bed. After a few hours of rest she awoke to him gently caressing her forehead. He thought of how peaceful she looked in her sleep.

She blinked away the dark fancies and saw him sitting by her bedside. Grinning, Nyx sat up. "Wipe that look off your face. You look like a sissy."

Seth pulled his hand away from her and stuffed it in his pocket. "Yeah...um...right."

"Man, oh man! What a trip! I was trippin'! You wouldn't believe! She started to get out of bed. "Ow!" she sat back down. Her headache had not gone.

"Take it easy. What the hell happened to you back there? And where's the His Royal Majesty?"

Nyx eyed him closely. "You saw him? You really saw him? Wait. I mean...then I wasn't dreaming! The fucking nightmare is real?!?"

Seth arched his brow. "What nightmare? You're not making sense here. Start slow."

"Hey even I don't really know what's goign on here! All I know is that Nickolas is not who we thought he was."

"Who is he then if not a royal pain in the ass?"

"Nakago."

Seth's eyes widened. "Nanii????"

Nyx noded solemnly. "I don't know how he pulled it off, but somewhow from what I can understand, he was able to project Nickolas and everything that has to do with him from beyond the grave. He used it to get my attention. But guess it was too much to keep up so he came clean, so to speak." Nyx spotted the urn sitting on the bedside table. "Where'd you get that?"

Seth handed it to her. "I found it when I found you!"

"It's....it's nothing."

"It's not nothing. I can see it in your eyes."

Nyx sighed. "Nakago. He wants me to -- bring him back."

"Nanii?!? You're not going to do it, are you?"

The Otaku shrugged. "I don't know. It might be interesting."
