I'm changing POV's! It's now in SAGE'S POV! I thought you'd like this
chapter since I just read this wonderful book pertaining to spinal cord
tension and all about it. You've gotta have faith in me I really suck at
writing cause I just started, don't worry I'll get better. Oh yeah and
roughly 6 months have passed since the accident!


Cye, I just couldn't beleive what happened. Six months ago I was
playing around with him. I was threatening to break his neck because he
pushed me in the lake. I feel like this is my fault, because I should
have felt the upcoming danger. I can't beleive this happened to one of
us, one of the Ronin Warriors. Why couldn't I heal him all the way?! I
was right there making him live again, I gave him back his life, but for
some reason that still isn't enough. I should have given him use of his
legs again!!!
"Say-Ge!! Look out!" Cye's laughter came at me as did the football
hitting me in the nose.
"You're aim's gotten better Cye!" Kento was telling him.
"No he hit me, now what can I do to torture him? Hmmm..." Cye looked
at me as if I were crazy.
"Ryo look how Sage is treating me! Treatening to hurt a cripple!"
He was mocking me...but I couldn't help but laugh.
"Come on Cye you know I'd never hurt you, Kento threatens you at
least a dozen times a day! You never yell at him." This was fairly
amusing.
"I know he couldn't hurt me if he wanted to!" Cye stuck his tongue
out at me. I returned the gesture.
"Guys lunch time!" Mia always cooking, and never complaining, although
in the last 4 months Cye has been making us treats while we're in classes, lucky
him he got his degree 2 months before the accident.
"Mia! It is so nice of you to let us stay here until we finish our
college careers!" Flattery was not my middle name.
"Sage, quit talking and just come in here and eat! Kento's almost all
done with his, your's and my own lunches!" She has seemed to let us stay here
because Cye needed the support.
"Let me guess Rowen has claimed his own, Ryo's and Cye's..." Rowen almost
ate as much if not more than Kento.
"Yep!" As if clockwork we heard from inside. 'MIIIIIAAAAA WE'RE HUNGRY!'
"Coming." She went back inside. I thought I'd go and meditate for a while.
When I finally got to my favorite spot I was thinking about Cye and how independent
he was now, he was even applying for a job on a marine geology and biology study
ship. I wasn't going to tell him I'd seen the application and that he hadn't told
them he was handicap, because then he'd probably yell at me, as far as I knew he
hadn't mailed it out, maybe it was just wishful thinking. But I doubted it was
just that. He seemed to get around a lot better lately, and as of last week
never needed help doing anything. I can't help but think something is up with him,
he's much stronger now, and his legs which had lost a lot of their muscle were
starting to get stronger. I noticed Ryo staring at them sometimes as if he
beleived that Cye cuold walk again. I wouldn't know. But sometimes I wished I
could read minds along with all of my other powers.

RYO'S POV! 2 months later

It'd happened 2 months ago, I'd been dismissed from class early because the
teacher was sick. So after class I went strait to Mia's to see if Cye needed help
with anything around the house. Then I saw the most wonderful thing ever, Cye was
lifting himself, painfully, out of his chair and 'trying' to stand. He'd suceeded
for about 30 seconds and then I sneezed and he sat back down and had said 'Hello
Ryo'. He didn't seem angry with me. I asked him how he did that, and he told me
that not only Sage had healing powers. Obviously I offered to help him and
immediatly dropped out of my painting class, which I was failing anyway. Since
last week Cye's been looking on the brighter sides of things and looking forward
to every after noon we spend together. I saw Sage was beginning to suspect
something so Cye began to spend less and less time near him, which was really
saddening because of the way Sage looked at him. It was as if Cye had deleted his
friendship with Sage in less then four weeks. Needless to say by this time, I had
Cye standing and cooking on his own almost everyday. Cye was begging me not to
tell anyone until he knew that this was permanent..and that the pain would go
away when he was standing. You could tell by looking into his sea green eyes
and really burrowing into them that he was in serious pain whether he showed it
or not. That is what was happening up until now. Cye had no contact with Sage,
and he was in serious pain when he stood.
"Ryo!! Ryo!! Get down here now!!" Cye was calling me, and it was 8 pm,
everyone was home and I was sleeping. With out thinking I responded.
"Get up here yourself!" I think Mia was the one that yelled.
"RYO! You know he can't get up the stairs!!" Yep *yawn* it was Mia.
"Okay!" Scratching my head as I decended down the stairs I tripped on
the last step making everyone that saw squeal with laughter, Yulie didn't laugh
but then of course it was Christmas eve and he was all ready asleep under the
tree to catch Santa Claus. Stupid kid, he did this last year and I carried him up
to his room after he fell asleep.
"Come into my room with me Ryo I have to show you something I...got in the
mail." Cye always was one to lie, horribly. I yawned again.
"Coming." Once we were in his room he just stood up and got out of his
wheelchair without pain. That sure did wake me up. "Oh My..."
"I'm thinking about showing everyone tomorrow. What do you think?" I
was just nodding my head up and down like one of those Drinky Drinky Birds. Cye
laughed and for once in a long time I felt it warm me like it usually did.
"I agree. I think this is so great, could I wrap you up?" I didn't
expect the next comment.
"With a giant bow?" at this time I was gasping for air.
"Sure if you want me too." We were joking...I hope.
"Actually I was thinking about just waiting until everyone opened their
gifts and then I'd give them a gift too!" Cye always the one to think about
his own happiness last I'm sure by the time we were done opening the presents
Cye would be squirming like he had to go to the bathroom. I couldn't wait to see.
"That would be cool. Can I go back to bed now?" Me always one to want my
beauty sleep.
"Sure."

SAGE'S POV!! Christmas Morning
I wasn't too excited about the stuff I got, kendo practice swords tagged
from your family with love. A new tornament sword tagged Rowen. Some other weird
stuff, and I couldn't forget this one a beautiful hand embroidered kimono/robe
thingy from Cye, apparently it was from a shop in downtown Tokyo. Wow! Some
wonderful Soy bean cand-....
"I can walk you guys." WHAT?! Did Cye say what I think he just said?!
"Cye....what do you mean?" Mia was flabbergasted.
"Ryo was going to wrap me up and put a pretty bow on me for a gift to
myself, but then I remembered I'd be inside so I couldn't open it." Cye just
stood up...O_o;;(--the look on Sage's face)
"You're standing up Cye...." Always ask for Rowen to state the obvious!
"Yeah, you're standing up."I beleive I've been hanging around Rowen a
little bit too much.
"Then it was a great Christmas!" Yulie said as if he had something to do
with it, although that kid probably has more power than most.

The End!

Okay a note at the end of this chapter, you think this is probably impossible
right? Well it's not, a year and six month ago I was in a car accident that left
me paralized for 6 days and then I was magically able to stand again, although
it took me 4 months to be able to stand a really long time without excruciating
pain it still happened so I put that into the story because I have been getting
E-Mails about him standing again, now if only they'd review my story. Short Story,
blissfully over, forever will be fornever, if you read the entire story clear
through think about this for a moment: every 6 minutes someone loses their ability
to stand.
