My spelling may be wrong for a couple of things I'm not sure how they are pronounced.
This is my first piece of work so please tell me if it REALLY SUCKS!
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO COMMENT TO SAY WHEATHER YOU LIKED IT OR NOT… J
Then it began to hurt and Tasuki could not pull away… his ki… his life was draining away…his eyes widened in shock… the white hot pain seared through his body.. he collapsed on top of her…
Everything was going black…He heard Kojji shouting for him and then a jingling sound…Suzaku I'm an idiot was the last thing he remembered thinking…
"Wi-will they be alright? What the F happened?", Kojji asked shuddering..
The man tending to the two people did not answer…He was mumbling something…The red aura returned for a while…Kojji watched in silense.
This is F& weird…Don't you dare die GENROU or I'll KILL YOU…now that's a stupid thing to think…Knock knock! Whose there its Kojji's brain back from a vacation…well come on in BAKA!
Great! Now I'm even THINKING LIKE A BLOODY MORON!
The newcomer finished his mutterings and looked up with his smiling face…
"I think they will live no da…" the blue haired man said..
Kojji breathed a sigh of relief… "Man! You came just in time Chichiri…I don't know what would have happened otherwise"
"Lets not think of that no da… send for a healer…"
"Natsume went to get one.. wonder what is taking him so long…"
Kojji walked of to find him.
Chichiri looked at the two people lying on the bed…his eye traced the outline of their bodies.. He saw the wounds and sensed their week life force… he sat down…he was a little worn out as well…
As soon as he felt Tasuki weakening and heard the bandit cry out for him he had teleported from the palace to stronghold…His eyes had widened on seeing Tasuki on top of someone and a very disturbed ki aura surrounding them both…
Chichiri had used his powers to break their connection and then transferred some of his life force to his brother seshi… The girl had drained enough of Tasuki's power to keep breathing…she probably would survive…
Tasuki no da…same impulsive bandit as usual... you could have killed her and yourself by trying such a thing…who is this girl? Why were you willing to risk his life for her?
He leaned against the wall and shut his eyes…Chichiri had to meditate and revive himself...Frowning under his smiling mask.
Natsume was speeding up through the entrance of stronghold…
I hope I'm not to late… Hold on Hitomi…
Behind him was another bandit…Along with him rode an older man…He had grayish hair tiny black eyes and carried a basket…
A tiny maiden rode with Natsume…She held his waist tight so that she wouldn't fall..the pale girl wore blue robes and had deep purple hair that fell to her shoulders… Her grayish eyes were shut…she was a little frightened of going so fast…
I don't care if I'm scared… she thought… I must save Hitomi-chan…I wonder if it was you Natsume spoke of? The hitomi I know… surely no one bears the same eyes he described.. I know it is you…Please be alive my friend…Let me be the one to help you as you have helped me countless times in the past…
A little earlier in the village this was what happened:
"WE NEED A GOD DAMNED HEALER! CAN'T YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND!" Natsume was shouting in rage…
The villagers had seen the Kuro bandits advance forward and seen evidence of the battle…No one wanted to venture forth… they were scared for their lives and though the bandits had never harmed their village no one was willing to risk their well being..
The bandit's angry shouts and threats just made things worse…
"You threaten to hurt us and expect us to cooperate? Why should we save a bandits life?" an arrogant healer said…
Before Natsume or his friend could respond a soft voice spoke…
"We are obligated to help…Healers take an oath before man and god to serve the sick and needy…A bandit or a saint is human… they both have needs which must be served…Is not that what we are taught sensei?", said a grey eyed girl…
People looked a little uncomfortable…but still no one was willing to go…
The girl sighed… "I will go with you but am not fully qualified yet…Teacher…wont you come?"
The old healed looked into the pleading eyes of his apprentice…he felt a pang of guilt. He had taught her the doctor's oath and principles, shouldn't he set an example?
The villagers gasped as the old doctor nodded his head and fetched his bag…
"WHAT? A girl..HITOMI? Blue fiery eyes you say?" the apprentice looked shocked when Natsume told her of the situation…
"I knew a hitomi like her once.. I wonder if its her…" she muttered to herself really…
"In any case we need to hurry Natsumesama…let us go." She said jumping on his horse…they sped towards stronghold…
Please Suzaku…I pray We are not too late, thought both riders…
"Thank you eh..miss…" said Natsume before stirring the horse on…
She simply nodded…
End of scene…
Chichiri opened his eyes when he heard footsteps rushing towards the door…
The purple haired girl rushed in with Natsume Kojji and the Healer…
"Hitomichan…it is you…after so long…" she whispered…
she walked over and felt the two patients pulses… Then bent her head to listen to their breathing…the doctor had set up his things…She asked Natsume for bowls of water and towels…
She took off Tasuki's armor and footwear…she cleaned his wounds and the doctor began applying some medicines and wrapping bandages..
She went towards Hitomi..then hesitated…
"ummm…could all of you please leave the room for a moment.. WE need to examine her..and..eh" she ended blushing…
The bandits and monk turned chibi blushed and were sweat dropping… Natsume had a comic vision of a naked Hitomi and was promptly bonked on the head by Kojji who was probably thinking the same thing…
"They will be alright" she said, politely pushing them out and then slammed the door shut…
"WHAT THE F&& TOOK YOU SOO LONG OT GET HERE?", asked an angry chibi Kojji waving his arms at a cowering Natsume..
Kojji glowered with rage when Natsume told him the reason…
"Those no good Bas-"
"Its not their fault no da… Everyone fears for their lives…Also I am sure the Kuro bandits threatened them.." said the wise monk…
"Yeah well… nothing better happen to those two…" muttered Kojji…
"By the way no da... Who is that girl? Tasuki has never mentioned her…"
Kojji smirked and looked at the monk…"Well chichiri…lets sit down it's a long story…ya see it all happened a long time ago and that B& Genrou did not have a clue that…" and the story was told…
The doors opened a while later…
The girl walked out..
"I think they will be fine…Its lucky that they lived…with such wounds I would have expected her…" she shook her head..
Kojji Chichiri and Natsume entered the room…
Tasuki and Hitomi were all cleaned up and bandaged…they looked so peaceful not to mention cute sleeping there…
"umm I don't think we should move either to another room but… forgive my asking..Who is he and how do you know Hitomi?" she asked, her grey eyes looking puzzled…
"Well it's a long story… Tell us your name first though…Natsume told us how you were willing to help…ehh Thanks…" said Kojji smiling at the girl…
"Oh Gomen.. you can call me Kyae…It was my duty to help", she said bowing to them.
"Ok Kyae…how do you know Hitomi?"
She smiled sadly…"That is a long story too… We sort of grew up together…I owe her a lot…from your blank looks I'm guessing you don't know about her past…Hitomichan does not like talking about it…She hates pity…but she has had a very difficult life…Its not really my place to tell her story I suppose…"
Kyae sat down beside Hitomi and stroked her head gently… "Oh Hitomi…how could you want to leave without saying goodbye?"
She walked up and bowed to Kojji…"Kojji sama please permit me to stay here till she recovers…I will be able to help any other wounded as well…"
"KYAE! It is not safe here…what are you thinking?" shouted her angry teacher…
"Forgive me sensei..i must do this…I—"
"I will protect her…I give you my word…" said Kojji earnestly bowing to the doctor who was taken aback by the good manners and sincerity of this bandit…
He sighed looking at her pleading eyes…why do I always give in to this child?
He nodded his head and gave her some instructions about how to care for the patients…then he left the medical kit and went out with Natsume escorting him to the village.
Hitomi stirred in her sleep and turned to her side so that her hurt shoulder was not pressured…Her hand rested on Tasuki's bare chest…The bandit moved closer to her and placed his hand over hers…
Chichiri smiled as he shut the door… The sight of their ring bearing hands entwined over the woman hating bandit's heart was just too sweet to ignore…
