Author's Notes: Hey! I'm going to attempt to release a chapter every Tuesday and Thursday as best I can. Sorry this is such a short one, but Chapter 7 makes up for it! Promise! Enjoy.

Chapter 6

Shen woke in a daze, not really sure where he was, or what he was doing. He was lay in a hospital bed and that it was night time as the windows were dark and the candles lit, he could distinguish that much. Turning his head to his left he could see Akali sat down asleep, he wondered how long he'd been here, and how long she'd been sat there. Shen tried to turn his head to the right, but someone's hand stopped him.

"Hold still." A soothing woman's voice could be heard. "If you move I might slip and make things worse!"

Who is this? Shen thought to himself. He vaguely recognised the voice but couldn't decide who it was. "She's been sat there for 6 hours I've been told," The voice had noticed Shen looking at Akali, "Refused to leave you here alone." Shen couldn't help but smile to himself at how sweet Akali had been. Akali stirred with the noise from the voices, waking herself from her slumber. After slowly readjusting to the room and having a good look round, remembering where she was, she spoke, "I'm so glad you were nearby, Shen's the only one round here with the necessary surgical skills around here!"

"My pleasure, after all, you did save me from Warwick that time. I am sorry I couldn't get here sooner though, I only noticed the danger Shen's life was in as I passed." The voice replied, whose identity still a mystery to Shen.

"What were you doing over this way anyway Soraka?" Akali directed to the voice, and Shen kicked himself for not recognising Soraka's voice sooner.

"Just visiting some old friends, got to make sure Irelia's doing alright."

"Did she know you were coming?" Akali asked rather worriedly.

"No appointment was set, don't worry, you're not going to get an angry Irelia knocking on your door any time soon, not on my account anyway." Soraka reassured the obviously worried Akali, she could tell Shen took a sigh of relief too.

After another 15 minutes or so of general small talk, Soraka announced she was finished. Shen turned his head to the right to admire her handiwork. Miraculously, the gaping stab wound Katarina left there earlier had completely disappeared. Shen sat up, moving his arm up to point it at the ceiling, making a fist and bringing it back down to his chest. "Thank you so much Soraka," His deep velvety tone back to its usual self.

"My pleasure, one of my easier fixes though, so don't even think about paying me or anything!"

"Are you sure?" Shen said looking at the celestial being.

"Of course," Soraka looked at Shen with soft eyes, those of a caring person, whose sole purpose was to aid the wellbeing of others. Soraka stood up and moved towards the door to leave. Just before she left the room, she turned back and looked at the pair. "I know how you 2 feel about one another, I can see it in your eyes, and personally, I think it's beautiful." And with that she left. Akali looked down at her feet and could feel her cheeks burning with embarrassment. "Was it really that obvious?" she thought to herself and glanced up at Shen. He was also looking down in embarrassment with rosy red cheeks; Akali couldn't help but think how cute he was when he went all shy and embarrassed.

"Listen Akali, Soraka told me you wouldn't leave me here alone. I just wanted to say, thank you." Shen said to Akali. Before he had noticed, Akali had stood up, leant over and given Shen a peck on the cheek and moved towards the door. Shen just sat there in stunned silence, completely lost for words.

"Come on you, Kennen will be wondering where we've got to!" Akali cheekily said as she left Shen's hospital room. Shen jumped up and bounded after Akali, like a little lovesick puppy chasing his owner.
