Author's Notes: These stories are random, and all belong to the Episode Jackal storyline, between the couple of chapters I have there, there should be enough context to enjoy these stories. I am already working on more there, so if you don't like these one-shots yet, you may like them later.

Infinite heard a grunt, then heard something hit the ground hard.

The sound came from behind him, he turned cautiously, seeing forest all around him.

"What is it, Boss?" Remy asked, Infinite quickly held up a finger to signal silence.

He walked closer, a figure appeared on the ground.

Remy, Hunter, and Quickstrike followed him, wondering what the figure could be.

Infinite gasped when he saw the identity of the figure on the ground: his fiancee, Amara.

She had strained breathing, with teeth clenched, blood spilling from a dagger wound in her stomach.

Infinite bent down, Quickstrike gasped.

Hunter, who was often competing with Amara for second-in-command, looked surprised.

"Who did this to you?" Infinite held Amara's paw.

"One of the targets got a jump on me, Boss." She tried to get up, Infinite stopped her.

"You're injured, Mara. No."

Amara looked slightly offended. "What do you mean 'No'?! I'm a sitting duck out here!"

"I'm not going to let you walk until we get that wound looked at."

"It's just a flesh wound, Boss."

"That's exactly what Marauder said before he died!"

Amara gripped his paw. "Boss."

Infinite sighed and gently lifted her, being extremely careful with her wound, before the other jackals escorted them back home. When they arrived back at their stronghold, Infinite laid Amara in his bed. "Medic!" He ordered, the Jackal Squad's personal medic quickly appeared.

He bowed to Infinite. "What do you need?"

Infinite motioned to Amara, trying to hide his worry. "She was stabbed during a raid."

The medic approached Amara, and immediately saw her wound. He bent down and examined it, gently touching the site. "She'll be fine, the wound is just a flesh wound, no organs were injured."

Infinite seemed to relax.

"I told you that it wasn't bad, Boss."

Infinite nodded. "I know that now…" He hugged Amara gently.

"Mind if I get that wound patched up for you, First Lieutenant Amara?" The medic asked, she painfully remembered the blood that was still spilling out of her wound and nodded. The medic didn't take long to bandage her injury. "There you go, Lieutenant. I'd advise staying down for a day or two though."

Amara gently touched the bandages. "Thank you."

The medic nodded and left.

As soon as the sound of footsteps ceased, Infinite climbed up on the bed, pulling Amara closer to him.

"Aww, are you worried about me?"

Infinite laid his paw on the wound.

Amara had been a bit sarcastic when she had made that statement, but she saw that he was having a bit of a panic attack over her. She felt herself getting pulled closer to Infinite, who was holding her tight.

He held her like that until night fell, when she needed to get back to her own den.

She squirmed a little bit to get Infinite to pay attention to her, not her wound. "Infy. It's getting late, I gotta go back to my den now."

Infinite finally stopped holding onto her and got off the bed, lifting Amara up into his arms. He took her to her den and set her down on two feet gently. "I'm gonna change your clothes for you, Mara, ok?"

The words shocked her as soon as he said them, but she nodded, knowing he was just trying to take care of her.

Infinite gently lifted Amara's shirt off her body and gently put a softer, looser shirt on before kissing her cheek gently.

Amara gave him a slight smile, she kissed him back before he led her to her bed and set her down gently. She leaned towards Infinite as his grip on her loosened, she hugged his hand.

He bent down and looked into her golden eyes. "Do you need me to stay here, Mara?"

Normally, she could've made herself say 'no', but she found herself nodding and clutching tighter on his arm as pain pulsed in her torso.

"Alright, Mara, I'll be right here if you need me…" He pulled away from her arm and laid down on the floor, looking at her before closing his eyes.

Amara looked back, although he could be extremely overprotective of her, she was glad that he was there for her.
