"Normal Speaking"
Kame Speaking
Kame Speaking (Just to Kaori)
"You call this training?"
"Yes, does it not appeal to you?"
"Why no….No it does not."
Six sighed and kept his mouth set in a straight line.
I'm not that annoying….At least I don't think I am… I thought to myself.
Rex ran towards us, sweat glistening on his body as he stopped in front of me. He leaned his hands on his knees and panted. God he was so ho-NO. Bad Kaori.
"You don't think this is hardcore training?" Rex questioned me as he panted.
I shrugged.
"Not really. Dancing is a much more physically exhausting and it works your muscles exponentially better than most generic training exercises," I stated simply.
Both Rex and Six stared at me for a moment.
"No way," Rex said suddenly.
I snorted.
"Fine, don't believe me. Once my leg is completely healed I'll show you exactly what I mean," I said simply and started limping away.
Kame followed after me, swishing her tails at the two, a doggish smirk on her muzzle. I was off to bed and there was nothing anyone could do to stop me.
The next day, I awoke with absolutely no pain in my leg. No aching, no soreness. Nothing, zilch, nada. It was crazy how fast I could heal as an EVO…. It was quite nice.
You are awake now? Kame asked as she hopped onto my bed.
"Yes, now get off, you're smushing me!" I grunted and struggled underneath her weight. She barked a laugh and buried her head into the pillows. "Ugh, fattie," I muttered before the automated door opened.
"I see you're up," Six said as he entered the room. "What exactly-"
"Don't even ask," I muttered and finally pushed Kame off. She growled playfully and rolled onto her back on the floor. Six cocked an eyebrow and I cocked one back.
"You need to brush your hair."
At that comment, a pillow soared through the air towards Six. But of course, he caught it with ease.
"Meanie!" I said and stuck out my tongue.
"Come on Kaori. It's time for you to get up," he said, though his voice wasn't very stern at all. I gazed up at him and huffed.
"Alright, alright. I'm up," I muttered and rolled over, hanging my legs off the bed. As soon as I was standing, my leg gave out, making me toppled over. Fortunately, Six was able to catch me, but he gave me a look.
"Errm….I'll go see Dr. Holiday." I said.
Six raised his eyebrow higher.
"And how do you plan on getting there?" I raised a finger and opened my mouth, but upon finding no answer, pursed my lips.
"I… Don't know." I said in defeat, hanging my head.
"That's what I thought," he said and lifted me back on the bed. "I'll be back. Don't move."
He was out the door before I could protest.
"Pfftt, whatever. I could totally crawl," Kame brushed my feet with her tails, causing a giggle to escape my lips.
"So your feet are ticklish?" A voice asked.
I looked up and saw Rex walking in, followed by Six who was carting a wheelchair. Woah, wheelchair? I did a double take.
"Oh hell no. I am not riding in that thing again," I protested and narrowed my eyes as the metal rolley chair.
"Aww, why not. I wanted to push you around," Rex said and pouted playfully.
"Oh screw you. I am not getting back into that thing," Rex cocked an eyebrow and smirked.
"Or really? When and where?" he said, raising an eyebrow as he grinned.
I blinked, confused at first what he meant, when it finally clicked.
"Oh my God Rex! You perv! Six, smack him now!" I said and gaped at him.
Six cocked an eyebrow.
"Why exactly?"
"He just said he would screw me! Do you even know what that means?" I suddenly deadpanned. Six remained silent.
"Ugh, fine. I'll do it myself."
A loud crack emitted from the book that hit Rex upside the head.
"Ow! Kaori I was just kidding! I was kidding!" he said as he suddenly was pelted with various volumes of manga and a Monster can or two.
"Good," I said. "Now come here and give me a piggy back ride to Holiday's lab."
He sighed and hung his head, realizing resistance was futile.
My man slave… I mean Rex. Not man slave. Carried me through the halls of Providence, whistling a tune to himself.
"What are you humming?" I suddenly asked.
He shrugged.
"Dunno. I heard bits and pieces of it on the radio the other day," he replied as he stepped through the doors leading to the lab. Holiday looked up and smiled.
"Ah, there you two are! Kaori, why aren't you walking?" she asked as she set down a clipboard.
Rex sat me on an examination table and I shrugged.
"Six woke me up this morning and I tried to get out of bed and 'bloop.' I dropped like a rock," I explained as Dr. Holiday took off the brace, examining my leg.
"Hmm….It's nothing serious from what I can tell. Just a little stiffness and lack of stability from you not using it. Just try walking on it," she said.
I nodded and gingerly placed both feet on the ground. I leaned my weight on both my feet. My leg wobbled uneasily, as if it were made of jelly.
"Just take a step or two," she instructed.
I did, but I didn't get far. After merely one step, my leg gave out. I squeezed my eyes shut, fully expecting to give the floor a painful kiss with my face. But alas, someone caught me, keeping me just inches from the ground.
"Thank you," I muttered as I was lifted up.
"No problem chica," I heard Rex say.
"You speak Spanish?"
"Bits and pieces of it. I think I'm Hispanic," he said and set me back on the examination table.
"You think?" I asked and looked at him, an inquiring look on my face. His face fell and he looked away.
"I don't know anything about my past. I have some memory loss issues and I don't know really anything," he muttered bitterly.
I felt terrible for even asking about it.
"Oh Rex…." I said and suddenly threw myself on him, wrapping my arms around his waist. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to bring it up!" I apologized, continuing to squeeze him in an attempt to make things better. Hugs are powerful acts! Right?
"I-It's okay Kaori. You didn't know," he replied softly, wrapping his arms around me in return. I looked up at him and frowned.
"I promise, I won't bring it up again," I said before releasing him.
He shook his head and smiled.
"It's okay Kaori. Really, it is," He said as he released me as well.
Dr. Holiday turned around, having utterly missed the whole thing.
"Okay Kaori, all you're going to need is someone to walk around with you for support for a little while and then you'll be fine. Your leg is just a bit weak from lack of use. With you healing so quickly, the past few days is the equivalent of months for your leg. It's perfectly normal," she explained and smile.
"Well that's good. Rex! You are officially my man slave for the day. Come hither and help me walk around!" I exclaimed and grinned.
"Man slave? I am not!" he said and pouted. "But I'll help you….Only because I like you."
"No way! You like me? That just made my day," I teased.
He rolled his eyes and sat down next to me, giving me the opportunity to hook my arm around his neck.
"Thank Doc! I appreciate the help!" I called as Rex stood up and started walking me out of the room.
"It was no problem Kaori. Have a nice day and be careful. You too Rex," she said and smiled before gazing back down at her clipboard.
