Thank God for letting me write this chapter, I had some serious laziness about writing this . I am sorry for not updating but I am hypercritical of myself and what people think, so even though I have only gotten good reviews I am still afraid of failure. Warning I am now using the same opening for every chapter Please review. I love every review. I have started to re-read my stories and I am debating about redoing all of them to make them not suck, please leave your opinion about. Sorry if this story is not stretched like it should be and how some of my latest chapters have been. I have searched for a beta but I cannot find anyone. Please contact me interested

Start:

Omi awoke from a horrible nightmare with a shout. Chase was in a different room but he quickly came to investigate. At the sight of Omi, who was now curled up in fear, trying to conceal

the evident tears coming from his eyes, Chase swiftly picked Omi up and sat Omi down on his lap while he started to sit on the chair that Omi had been resting in. Omi started to panic

until Chase said in a firm but soothing voice "Omi no harm will come you here, you will not be penalized for crying over anything nor having a nightmare." Omi just kept on crying. Chase

rubbed his back, but otherwise he let Omi cry himself out. A few minutes after Omi was through crying Chase said gently "Omi, I will have to look over your body to see your injuries. I am

sorry Child, but I will have to look at your body bare." Omi nearly cringed in fear upon hearing this. "Do not worry Omi, I swear on my honor that I will not do anything to harm you or

anything similar. Everything will be alright young monk." Omi started to calm so Chase began to explain "I will take you to a bathroom and depending on the severity of your bruises I may

have to give you a bath, " Omi started to cringe a little bit so Chase started to rub his back again, which calmed Omi considerably "If I give you a bath I will be using Chinese herbs to

ensure all of your cuts are clean, I will also use something you numb your body so that you will not feel nearly as much pain as you would otherwise." Omi just nodded to show he wasn't

going to object any further.

As soon as Chase brought Omi into the bathroom with him Omi froze in fear. Chase started to rub his back again and said softly "Omi I need you to undress, but if you are to afraid I can

do it for you." Omi didn't show any response to the question, he was still frozen, this led to Chase undressing Omi. As Chase was looking at Omi, Omi couldn't be more embarrassed. As

though reading his mind Chase said gently "You should know there isn't anything for you to be embarrassed about, it is not your fault for the multitude of bruises and cuts you have." Omi

just remained frozen though. Chase, horrified at what had been done to Omi said softly "Omi, I am going to have to give you a bath." Omi freaked out at that moment, being this open to

attack just scared him too much, so he felt a lack of oxygen and started trying to get in as much breathe as possible.

Chase realized what was happening to Omi within ten seconds. Omi was taking in too much oxygen, so Chase picked him up held and him directly to his chest so Omi would not

hyperventilate any further. FortunatelyChase had changed out of his armor uniform into silk black robes, so Omi wasn't injured by Chase's knee jerk response. Chase also started rubbing Omi's back again while saying

comforting words to him. Omi eventually calmed down and froze back in fear. Chase felt the cringe, so he put his fingers under Omi's chin and made Omi look him directly in the eye and

said " You have nothing to fear Omi, I know that is hard to believe, but it is true." Omi started to cry and Chase just held him close as he did it. Once Omi had finished Chase turned on the

hot water and let it run for a moment before putting Omi in the water.

Chase then gently took out the numbing herb and spread it all over Omi's body "This will numb your nerves as well Omi, you will not be able to move once it has been fully absorbed."

Chase had to apply four separate lotions to Omi's skin, the first would be the numbing lotion, the second would cure all bruises, the next one would disinfect all of Omi's cuts, and the final

one would take care of all of Omi's scars. The fourth would have to be applied Omi daily, but Chase felt he could trust Omi to do that. After the bruise healing Lotion, Omi looked somewhat

happy and after the disinfectant lotion Omi was tearing up, he could still feel some of the pain. Chase said gently " Omi it is okay to cry, I know this lotion in particular is hurting you" Omi

let the tears fall freely after that. Once Chase was finished with all the other lotions he pulled out the final and said "This lotion will heal your scars Omi, it will have to be applied to you

daily" Omi cringed violently at that but Chase finished quickly "but I trust you can apply it to yourself is that a wise decision Omi?" Omi could just nod, but he calmed after that.

As Chase was applying the lotion to Omi he would stop every now and then and show Omi how to apply the lotion and how much to any particularly nasty looking scar. Once Chase was

done he calmly asked "Omi, has the numbing lotion wore off yet?" Omi just shook his head no, which was all he could manage to do due to the lotion. Chase then asked "Would you mind

if I dressed you Omi? It is cold in thismansion and I don't won't you getting a cold." Omi finally felt the nerves in his mouth and said "No sir I do not mind." Chase smiled at Omi's respect.

Chase dressed Omi in sweatpants and a long sleeved shirt for warmth. As he was dressing Omi Chase said " I got these clothes before I picked you up in case you I couldn't take you

clothes shopping when you first got here. Since I got them without your measurements they might not fit so well."

Once Chase had dressed Omi he said calmly "I think it is time for Lunch, the lotion should ware off by the time we get to the table." But the lotion didn't, Chase, unbeknown to him had

applied a little too much of the lotion for it to ware off fast. When Chase got to the table he put Omi down on a chair and turned away without thinking. The next thing he knew he heard

Omi scream. Chase turned and saw Omi falling. An alarm went off in Chase and he rushed towards Omi and had him in his arms before Omi could fall all the way to the ground. Chase

automatically said "I apologize deeply Omi, I had no idea the lotion hadn't worn off." The apology had put Omi off guard, Omi had heard a deep sorrow in Chase's voice which distressed

Omi. Omi, stressed and not thinking asked loudly "Why do you even care?" Chase put his fingers under Omi's chin again and made Omi look him in the face. Once Chase had done that he

said "It is because I love you Omi"

End of chapter

Sorry for not updating in so long, Love you all. If you are wondering why Chase didn't do the bath in the first place, it was because he was counting on Omi not being in a bad position, and he was not thinking. I am trying to show that Chase makes mistakes, that he is not perfect but far from it.
