Chapter 6: Jena
"Of course I'm not ok! Hitomi is the only family I have! Sure I may have Jiko and mom, but I'm closer to Hitomi-chan than anyone, if she dies I'll have no one!" Jena sobbed.
"What happened to your real family?" Van regretted his words the moment they left his mouth.
Jena sniffed, "Mom raised me, but she got sick and died when I was 7 years old. I got stuck in an orphagne until I was 11, then I met HItomi and her family adopted me."
"Don't worry, Jena, Hitomi'll pull through. Did she tell you any strange stories?"
"Yes. She told me about you and Geia. She loves you more than any guy here. That is why she learned to fight so well. If she went back to geia and another war broke out-god forbid-you wouldn't have to worry about her getting hurt. Hell, she learned this one technique called the braking point."
"What's that?"
"She can break boulders with a touch. the means to learn the technique are harsh. It took her 3 months and 13 broken bones to learn it. 'Course now you can backhand her with a guymelf and she'll hardly feel it."
Van's eyes were the size of saucers, "How...Why would she do something like that?"
"I already answered the 'why' part. She was suspended in the air by ropes, then hit with boulders over and over. She never gave up. She showed me some advanced chi healing techniques she came up wi..." A look of realization appeared on Jena's face, "THAT'S IT!" She yelled.
"What?"
"I know how to save Hitomi-chan. One of her techniques called 'Angel's Love', it's a chi transfer technique. She told & showed it to me, she made it to counteract the Angel's Fire Blast. Come on we don't have much time."
They took off, and headed back to the clinic.
