Path of the Warrior

Leo was sent to Sakura to teach her to be a true Healer in time for the war. Sakura is a little skeptical of the angel at first, but soon warms to him and finds in him more love than learning.

2. Trigger

"You aren't able to heal." Leo sighed.

"Then tell me the trigger! Cha!" Sakura said. "You aren't helping at all!"

"You know I can't do that! I—!" Leo broke off and coughed, collapsing.

"Poison!" Sakura cried. "It's spreading too fast."

Leo cried out in pain. "You...have...to heal...me...its...the only way..."

Sakura started to cry. "It's too late...I can't...I love you Leo...please don't die...you believed in me...I failed..."

Her hands began to glow.

The poison receded, and color returned to Leo's cheeks.

"How?!" Sakura said.

"Love..." Leo said. "Love...is the trigger. You learned your...first lesson."
