A/N: And now we have a new PoV! Cirno, for the first time ever, in 3D! ...or not! Now, let us enter inside the head of the strongest, and hope we don't get a brain freeze. On with the show!
Midnight, Un-named mountains behind the Hakurei Shrine, Cirno's PoV:
"Usa!" I couldn't believe my stupidity, one doesn't simply break a magical gem without a reaction! Usagi had a long shard of bone stuck in her ribs, probobly puncturing a lung. I Made sure to ice over that, first. Before me lay my pupil, her arm in shreds, and half of her body riddled with crystaline shrapnel. The wounded arm wasn't crystalizing at all, like my wounds always did.
"P-p-ple-eas l-let-t-t me g-go..." Orange's teeth were chattering like crazy, wshe obviously needed to be let out, lest she freeze to death.
"Fine, fine... Rumia." Following my order, rumia turned out the lights, and enveloped the chinese girl in her orb.
"The rest of you, get looking for whatever the source is, meet back here at sunrise." Everyone nodded at my order, before flying off, Aya left in my care, as I would be busy for awhile.
"N-nooo... n-not there..." Rumia's work seemed to be going well, judging by the noises that other China was making.
"Is that so~?" From the bubble a yelp, and a small moan was heard. Rumia's methods might sound ...odd, but she was quite effective at ...whatever it was she was doing in there. Honestly, it was probably better not to ask.
Getting to work, I covered the forcefully amputated arm in ice, so as to help it heal, before plucking out the sharda of gemstone. It was like a gem studded grenade had gone off in her arm, and the side nearest to it was full of the resulting shrapnel. Once all of the shrapnel was out, I made the dress she was borrowing melt away. My dress is actualy just a layer of ice, kept in its form by my power. I figured if I didn't tell Usa about this, she might do it without realising. Seems I was right.
"Not so... rough..." The bubble was now surrounded by a pool of water, made by the melting of ice. Orange seemed to have been effectivly pacified by the darkness Youkai's unique methods.
"Is that so~?" Rumia sounded like her mouth was full, perhapse she was biting the ice off. Small yelps of pain could be heard here and there, supporting that thought. Whatever she was doing, Orange seemed to no longer sound cold. The chattering of teeth had long since stopped, replaced by light panting.
After the dress was open, I began to lick the wounds. For small cuts, this was the most effective was to heal. Usa quietly shivered when my cool breath danced across her skin, my tongue thuroughly coating all of the cuts in spit. I can't belive I let my cute little apprentice get hurt like this... I'm not sure if I would ever forgive myself for endangering her. Stupid, stupid, stupid! How could I let this happen...
Tears began to roll down my cheek, before freezing at the half way point. I made no effort to wipe them away, as nobody was around to see me in such a state. Why was this failure effecting me so much, It's not like I've never failed at even more important things before... It left this odd pain in my heart that just wouldn't quit. As though I had been pierced by an arrow, my chest was continuously aching. Why? Why was I feeling so horrible, over this girl that I had taken in only about a week ago? In that time, she had become as important to me as the rest of the team, maybe more so...
"Shtop... n-nah there... nooo..." Orange was starting to sound funny in there, and what was that musky smell? Must be that odd healing effect Rumia seems to have...?
"Is that so~?" Rumia sounded rather happy, going by voice, she was probably grinning.
It would probably be a good time to dress U- ehh? She's making her own dress, while asleep? ...Why is it black? I've only been able to get shades of blue and white, in the 'cloth' I make... Usa coughs up some black gunk, with a look of panic on her face. The gunk smelled strongly of death, and she began to tremble. Just what was... wait... could it be that she was once again in a dream, just like last night? I had hoped it was a one time thing, but this seemed too similar to just ignore!
"Usa, wake up..." I began to shake her, and she coughed up more of the gunk. Was she drowning? Maybe if I do that CPU thing that I had heard about, she would get better? I began to push down on her rib cage with all my weight. Next was... kissing? I push my lips gently against hers, and remembered that someone said that kissing was better if you stick your tongue in! My tounge begins to push into her mouth, waggling about. The substance in her mouth tasted just as bad as it smelled, and it took all of my willpower not to throw up. I once more began to push down on the smaller fairies chest, and out came a thick black jet from her mouth, before she was once more gasping for air. I wiped the frozen sweat from my forhead, and sighed in relief. Usa was fine now. Able to relax, and feeling like I might vomit, I dragged Usa away from the pool of horrible. That black stuff was truely, truely horrible smelling... Spitting as much of the black bile out as I could, I encased it all in ice. Maybe that would cut down on the stench...
The black bubble dispersed, revealing the pair of Youkai, and a pool of water which probably wasn't just water. Orange looked rather ...happy, as well as quite tired. Her clothes rather drenched in the fluids on the ground, she was now shivering in the cool autumn breeze of an early morning. Even with the way she looked, she looked blissfuly happy, while rumia simply licked her fingers clean. I raised a brow at the scene, but knew I would rather not know what had happened within Rumia's private bubble.
"Ehehe... that was quite nice..." Orange seemed to be talking to herself, while floating away. She ended up crashing into a tree, and simply started to snore, while tangled in the branches of it. It seems that falling asleep was in her blood, just like her sister...
"Is that so~?" Rumia giggled to herself, while flying off to help look for what was going on.
Not knowing what to do with myself, I simply layed beside my pupil, and looked at the sky. I had alot to think about, but the only thing I could manage to think about was my fear that Usa now hated me. Once more my chest hurt at the thought. Could it be that I was... falling for the girl? I had never felt this way before...
I knelt over top of my cute pupil, and gave her a once over. Her face looked at peace, as well as kind of cute in a way... I brushed a stray hair from out of Usagi's face, and smiled. Love, huh? I gave her a quick peck on the cheek, before going back to laying beside her. After another hours wait, she was finally beginning to stir.
