A/N: Here you all go! The Sequel to "That's a Promise"!

Disclaimer: I do not own Power Rangers. Mr. Saban does and always will.

Also, if you have not read That's a Promise, you probably need to do so. You could read this without reading that but it'll be a bit confusing at first.

Now, it was real. This time, he could loose her for good.

Leap of Faith

Chapter 12: All for Nothing

Jii walked into the first recovery room. He gently placed his hand on Serena's warm forehead.

"Jii?" She asked, her throat scratchy.

"Yes?" He asked, almost whispering. Lauren was sleeping, like she and Serena should be.

"What's wrong with me?"

It was a strange question, but Jii understood. "You have a pretty high fever, but you and Lauren should be fine. I admire you're courage and strength to go out and perform the Sealing Symbol, but it was very reckless."

Serena smiled, but she was still in pain, before she fell back asleep.

~S~A~M~U~R~A~I~

Mike sat in his room, on his bed, just thinking. Xandred had just revived. He knew Angela wanted him to call her after every battle, but yet she understood if he couldn't.

He couldn't do that now. It would put her life in danger and he would protect her. He would die for her if he had to. He would just have to wait until Master Xandred was defeated for good before he started seeing her again.

They met as kids. It was kinda like how Jayden and Antonio met and their time together as little kids, as friends. One day they met on the school playground and they became best friends. Then, soon after, she followed him to his house and discovered the Roberts' family secret: they were the line of the Green Samurai Power Rangers.

She had, of course, agreed to keep it a secret, but she had to stay at his house for a while. Every Ranger Families house was a safe house of some kind, always having protection Symbols around the entire perimeter. When he got his arrow, she was there at the house, still. Now, after two, nearly three years, she had come to the city and had gotten a job at the local Ice Cream Parlor.

He knew that he couldn't go and see her now. But he will be able to one day.

And on that day, he would tell her the truth. He would tell her, "I love you."

~S~A~M~U~R~A~I~

Antonio was in a state of almost-panic. The girl he really liked, maybe even loved, was seriously ill with a bad fever. He was in the first recovery room with her now. She was asleep, like she should be, according to Jii, but she was burning up.

Antonio placed a washcloth a bowl of ice cold water, took it out and wrung it out, before placing the cold, damp rag on her forehead as gentle as possible.

"Get well soon, Lauren," Antonio whispered. "You mean so much to me…" And he gently kissed her. He let go and soon as he held on, meaning it wasn't a long kiss, and he got up to go get some soup in case she got hungry.

When he left, Lauren softly smiled.

~S~A~M~U~R~A~I~

Mia went in to the second recovery room. As she suspected, Kevin was still there, keeping a watchful, protective eye over Jayden and Emily.

"Kevin," she calmly called out.

Kevin didn't look up, but he said a simple, "Yeah?" to let her know that he knew she was there.

Mia took a seat beside him, looking at him worriedly. "Them getting hurt is not your fault, Kevin. You know that, right?"

"Yeah, but–!"

Mia placed her hand on his mouth, successfully shutting him up. "But nothing. It was their choice to attack Xandred by themselves. Not yours."

Kevin bought this for Mia's sake, but he still kept watching over Jayden and Emily, worried that they would never wake up.

~S~A~M~U~R~A~I~

When Jayden woke up next, his vision was blurry, but soon he could tell that he was in a familiar place. He just couldn't place his finger on it.

The next thing Jayden noticed was the pain searing all throughout his body. Because of this, he unsuccessfully managed to suppress a groan of pain. Fortunately, this caught the attention of the others.

"Hey, dude, you feeling okay?" Mike asked.

"Don't yell, Mike…please…" Jayden responded.

"He wasn't yelling," Mia pointed out.

"He means 'Talk quieter'," Antonio said.

"How are you feeling, Jayden?"

"Like hell has been unleashed," he managed to get out. "I feel awful."

He saw Mia leave his viewpoint and then return a few seconds later, holding out her hand and a glass of water. "Here are some painkillers." Jayden took them gratefully and nearly downed the glass of water.

After a while, Jayden calmly said, "I'm okay now. Thank you." The others sighed in relief. "Xandred…has he been defeated yet?"

"Dude, if he was," Mike pointed out, "we would have happier faces on." Jayden had to admit. Mike did have a point.

"That's true," Mia said, "But forget about Xandred. You're more important to us right now."

"How long have I been out?" Jayden asked. This was what he really wanted to know.

"Five days. I guess Xandred wants to kill us at full strength," Mike joked, even though it really wasn't funny.

Kevin says, "I used the Swordfish Disk on you both. It's worked on you, but Emily hasn't woken up yet."

Emily!

This made Jayden sit up very suddenly and then hiss sharply in pain because of the pain it brought to his chest. Kevin and Antonio were immediately at his side, trying to get him to lie back down.

"Where's Emily?" he asked.

"Dude, calm down," Antonio said. "She's fine."

"Calm down, Jayden. This really isn't good for your health right now," Kevin said.

"Emily's more important to me than myself," Jayden managed to get out. "It's her you should be looking after."

"We are," Mia said, sitting by Emily's bed, said girl still out cold. "She's just fine. We're just waiting for her to wake up."

This seemed to satisfy Jayden enough to the point where he finally laid back down.

This is the part where Emily finally opened her eyes. Her first view was Mia. She lightly coughed, getting the older girl's attention.

"Emily, you're awake," Mia said, catching the other's attention at this.

"Mia…is Jayden okay?" Emily quietly asked. Mia snuck a look at a calm, yet curious Jayden in the other bed. She turned back to her "little sister".

"To a certain extent, yes," the Asian girl responded. "How are you feeling?"

Emily said nothing, but her eyes flickered down, as if she was ashamed, but Mia knew better. Actually, she understood, remembering what Xandred was doing to Emily to make her fade in and out like that. Emily felt the same as Jayden did, 'like hell had gone loose.'

Mike was the first to speak up after this. "How are you feeling?"

Emily spoke one word. "Faint…" This made the others remember that Xandred was practically strangling her before she passed out. He was killing her. And they all knew that you felt like passing out if you weren't getting enough oxygen.

That's when Jayden and Emily looked over at each other and their eyes locked. Both blue and hazel eyes contained the same message as the other: "Are you okay?" and at the same time "Yes, I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

Mia smiled and said, "If you want, Emily, I can bring one of my small electric fans in here so it can air out the room for you."

Emily softly smiled and nodded.

"Would you do that, please?" Kevin asked. "That air is pretty stuffy in here." Mia nodded and left to go get it.

"I, uh, have to go see if Mentor needs help," Antonio said, the Samurai Mentor being in the other recovery room with Serena and Lauren.

"I'll go with you," Mike said. "It's great to see you two are awake at least," he admitted before leaving the room behind Antonio.

This left Kevin in charge once more.

~S~A~M~U~R~A~I~

After Mia gave the fan to Kevin to set up near Emily, and when the others entered the other recovery room, they saw Jii going between both beds.

"Hey, Mentor. Need some help?" Antonio asked sympathetically, his gaze never wavering from Lauren.

~S~A~M~U~R~A~I~

Now that the fan had been turned on, Emily was feeling more alert and awake and was grateful to Mia that the older girl had even though of it.

"You know, Kevin?" Emily asked, the African American male cleaning up Jayden's wounds once more, as he did hurt them earlier, "I feel kinda bad for you guys."

"Why is that?"

"All that hard work on the Sealing Combination Symbol was for nothing," she pointed out. "Surely, you guys must feel disappointed."

"We do, Em," Kevin said, politely, "But don't worry. We'll find a way. In the mean time, you two need to go back to sleep."

Jayden and Emily happily complied.

~S~A~M~U~R~A~I~

It had been twelve days since the two Rangers had woken up. Kevin had used the Swordfish Disk on them once more, and now the two were well enough to walk around. Well, today was the first day that they were allowed to get out of bed.

As Emily was stretching out a muscle in her leg, Jayden calmly went over to her bed and sat down next to her. This caught her full attention.

The first thing she noticed was his face. It was the same as it was at her birthday party.

"Jayden?" she asked. "Are you okay?"

Jayden said nothing, yet his caring gaze never went away from her. "I can't loose you, Em. Not again."

With this, Jayden cupped her face with his hands and kissed her full on the lips.

'So that's how he really feels about me…' Emily thought. She inwardly smiled.

And she melted into the kiss.

To Be Continued…

A/N: Well? What do you think? Tell me how I did! Review! A preview:

Chapter 13: "Reminiscence"

"After all they've done, they couldn't give up now! If they didn't want to fight Master Xandred, no one would."

Oh yeah! Remember when I asked who wanted me to rewrite PRS from the top, Jemily Style? I finally got a solid plotline!

Top of the World: "No good deed could ever make up for the evil that she was destined to do. Not even being a Samurai Ranger could help her. She, Emily Suzuki, was destined, no, doomed to aid Master Xandred in destroying the world."

True Strength: "Antonio and Emily were the only ones left. One day, the others just…disappeared. What happened to them? Emily has a plan to bring them back. Will it succeed? But most importantly, what is her plan? AU stemming off from He Ain't Heavy Metal, He's My Brother."

Top of the World and True Strength are up! Go take a look and see if you like! Here's the summary and little previews of other PRS stories:

Mother Mae-Eye: "Since when did the Samurai Rangers have a mother in the Shiba House? That's what Emily would like to know. Set after Origins, Part 2, but before The Team Unites."

Redemption: "When she said, 'I'm sorry I let the team down,' what she was really saying was 'I'm sorry for being so weak.' Deeper insight of Emily's apology at the end of Origins, Part 2."

Sisters: "Older sister Serena never got sick. Younger sister Emily did. Serena is the Yellow Ranger and Emily is the driving point to everything she does. Now, Emily is well enough to walk around and travel, but she still carries around that one weakness which is Serena's greatest strength. But what happens when something terrible happens to her parents? AU"

I'll Take My Chances: "Jayden has returned from mastering the Sealing Symbol, but what does he find? What is his team like? AU Short Story"
