CHAPTER 14:

A WELL NEEDED REST

As I slowly regained my bearings I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder where the Crescent Scythe was lodged, but it wasn't in my shoulder anymore. I opened my eyes to notice I was still in Rin's lap, she was watching me for any signs of life, as she wiped the sweat off my face with a cold cloth.

"Hey, am I dead?" I asked weakly still in pain from the wound I had.

"No, Omi you aren't but you came close many times, once you lost consciousness we had to take the Scythe out of your shoulder but you lost a lot of blood after it was out we all thought you would die from loss of blood, Yasuo and I did the most we could for you, but you must have had something important to live for to come back to us." she answered weakly crying for joy at my conscious state.

I looked at my surroundings to see we weren't in the center of Prontera anymore.

"Rin, Where are we?" I asked nervously.

"We are in the outskirts of Prontera city Omi." came a voice I recognized as Nico's.

Then as my vision became clearer I noticed that everyone was with us.

"What the hell happened?" I asked confusingly and still in pain.

"Sorry Omi, we tried our best but even at his weakened state, Baphomet was too powerful for us to handle without you and the others." answered Hio rather annoyed having to admit it.

I sat up from Rin's lap, clasped my shoulder and slowly stood up making sure not to lose consciousness from the pain.

"We have to go back and finish the job. It should be a bit easier with all of us fighting together." I said still wobbly from the lack of blood

"Your right Omi, but your in no condition to fight, I think even a Poring could defeat your in your present condition" Reya said sitting on a bench to the left of us.

"Wow. Thanks for the vote of confidence for the dying guy Reya. But I don't care I'm going to help finish what I started, Reya where is Eduardo?"

She went and got him from a grass patch out of my direct line of sight.

"Omi, I must interject, we all need rest! We should rest for the night and head back tomorrow." yelled Hio.

I sighed and agreed. We went back to the campsite from the night before. That night the stars seem so bright, I looked at the other who were already asleep. My watch ended and I woke up Hio for his turn.

"Now Omi, no wandering off like last time" he said slyly.

"Yea I know Hio don't worry I'm going to try to get some sleep." I answered.

I walked over to Eduardo who was also fast asleep; I sat down and rested my upper body against his pillow-like body.

"Omi, Omi wake up". I heard a voice calling to me.

I opened my eyes, and it was still dark so it was still night time. As my vision grew clearer, I noticed it was Rin who called me.

"Sorry to wake you but its time to change your bandages from your shoulder." she said sweetly.

I sat up and just watched her, change the bandages, once she was done

"I'm sorry for burdening you with taking care of me Rin." I sad sadly.

"Its no problem, its kind of my job anyway as a Priestess I mean, plus it's the least I could do since you got that wound saving my life" she said, we both laughed. "Ok, all done you can go back to sleep now Omi" she said smiling.

She turned to head back to her spot near the fire, but I grabbed her arm.

"Uh...Rin could you, uh stay with me?" I asked staring at the ground embarrassed.

"Sure Omi I can stay with you" she answered.

She came back and laid down at my right side and wrapped my right arm around her as she rested her head on my chest making sure not to be near my injured shoulder.

"Thanks Rin, goodnight and sweet dreams." I said looking at her.

She seemed so peaceful at that moment that I couldn't help but smile.

"Good night Omi, feel better ok, we could really use your help tomorrow." she murmured, and snuggled closer to my chest and almost immediately fell asleep; I also fell asleep soon after.
