" well Kairi's haveing the same issues. Arieth and I think it has to do with the Mark that Heartless gave you both. " Tifa said.

Yuffie blinked. "Where's da mark?" She slured slightly, and began searching her body for it.

Tifa points to Yuffies left side.

Yuffie traced a finger over the mark, and after seeing it not fade, a goofy grin appeared on her face. "I got a tatoo." She giggled to herself, before hissing lightly as her wounds made themselves known.

Tifa sighed. " Yuffie stay put. " Tifa said befor going to talk with Arieth.

Aerith had just finished Kairi's bath and was toweling the girl off when Tifa entered. "How is she?" Aerith asked.

" the same. she doesn't seem to notice her actions or how shes talking.

Kairi unknowingly snuggled closer to Arieth.

Aerith sighed, she'd been afraid of this. "At least we know what we're dealing with now." She mumbled as she held Kairi close. "Get Yuffie a potion for her wounds and then in the tub. I'll take care of Kairi for now."

" so whats happening? " Kairir asked. Tifa retevied a potion and handed it to Yuffie. " dirnk it all up. " Tifa said.

Aerith led Kairi out of the bathroom and to one of the guest rooms. "It appears that you and Yuffie are semi-regressing." Aerith answered after a moment. She began searching for supplies in a closet.

Yuffie took the potion from Tifa with both hands and brought it to her lips. Instead of letting it flow into her mouth however, she instinctively suckled, causing quite a bit of it to fall onto the girl's bare body. Giving a squeal of surprise at the cold liquid on her now, she couldn't help but shiver.
