A.N. I'm so evil, but I know you love me ^^
Mia was crying into Sage's chest, and he was rubbing her back. "sssh. all three of them are tough, they'll pull through!" Kento punched the wall angrily.
"Damn it! First Ro, then Cloud, and now Ryo too!"
Ryo had gone into a coma and Rowen had already been in his for a day and a half. The bearer of Strata was also hooked up to countless machines, and had been since the surgery for his aneurysm. Now Cloud was hooked up to who knows what now. She hadn't come out of the O.R. and it had been well over an hour. But they guessed things like this took time.
Cye gently grabbed hold of Kento's arm. "Kento, you know as well as I do that the wall didn't do it, and hurting it wont do anything," the warrior of hardrock sighed and lowered his fist.
"Your right." he paused. "I'm going to go see Ro," and he left. Cye was about to call after him, but Sage shook his head.
"No, he needs time to be with Rowen, to think," Cye nodded and sat down, rubbing his temples.
"You know.. we don't even know how to contact her mother,"
"then maybe she doesn't need to know just yet," Sage sat down and blushed when Mia landed on his lap. She took blushed and got up, moving away quickly, and sitting in the chair adjacent to him.
Cye chuckled. 'looks like we have another couple to make' he thought with a silent laugh.
The door opened, and Dr. Kanaido came out, sweat dripped form his brow. "there is nothing more we can do, she's going to have to fight this," their faces fell, and Mia let a chocked sob escape her lips.
Deep fears nestled at the bottom of Sage's belly, rose to his heart and then to his throat were he wallowed it, and took in a deep breath of air. "Can we see her?"
"Hai, same room. Your friend is in there too," he paused, "I'll have the nurses get some cots, pillows, and blankets," he left.
"Thank you," Cye murmured. He got up along with Mia, Sage already staying. But Sage shook his head firmly.
"Stay."
"Sage.." Mia started, unsure of what to say and fully knowing what he was going to do.
"I'll be fine,"
Alone the warrior representing Halo and light walked the dark hallways. They smelled of sadness and grief. They felt of pain and turmoil, unknowingness, and confusion.
As he entered the darkened room he surveyed it. Just how they had left in the morning, only on one side many more machines and tubes penetrated their frail comrade.
It wasn't as though this couldn't have happened. Cloud didn't seem all healthy when she first came. Like this was waiting to happen. And as he pushed forward to the far side of the room, thoughts rang through his head.
Should I do this?
Is it worth it?
What happens if it doesn't work?
Doesn't it always work?
Doesn't good always win?
Sage had no answer to these questions, and he was afraid of the uncertainty they brought. Afraid of the directions they could go, and afraid to give a piece of himself away.
None-the-less, without a falter, he reached the bed, the pale light reflecting on an even paler face. The beauty corrupted by the foreign instruments pushing through her skin, and invading her being.
He placed a hand on her arm first, healing it as best he could without wearing himself out.
Next he placed a hand on her chest, sending his healing energies coursing through her, and invading her being like the machines and wires surrounding him.
He couldn't let her die.
No.
He WOULDN'T let her, or anyone else from their team die.
Slowly color began to return, until she looked a bit better, and her breathing was stable. While that took some out of him, he still kept going, kept moving until he reached the other bed were their leader lay.
Sage Date acted upon his own, a hero he was as he healed Ryo's injuries, yet no matter what. it would be up to Ryo to bring himself out of coma.
Sage still had energy, just enough for Rowen. He made sure he had enough for Rowen.
Slower than before he made his way to Rowen's room. Kento was there, just staring. Sage looked closer, and he saw the small trails of tears on the man known for his strength's face. He waited a bit before entering, and Kento starred at him before exciting, knowing he'd want to be alone. He was met by Mia and Cye in the hall.
"Rowen.. Don't worry." Sage said in a quiet voice. He put both hands on either side of his friend's head. A green glow illuminated the room.
Sage poured every ounce of his strength into Rowen to fix him. Yet he too, like Ryo, would have to pull himself from coma.
Sage was about to collapse when a strong set of arms supported him. "Sage."
"Kento."
"Thank you,"
"Your.. welcome.." the warrior of light flashed a small smile before passing out. Cye smiled.
"Lets get him to bed, they should have the beds set up by now,"
"hai, maybe there will be more change in the morning." Mia agreed.
**
Early morning was full of worry, and they visited Rowen first. It was 9:00, and they were just about to go check someone else, when a slight groan caught their attention. At first only one eye opened, and then closed. But slowly both opened and he yawned, a wince here and there. "What time is it?"
"Rowen!!" Mia was immediately hugging the life out of him.
"Can't.*twitch* breath.*twitch twitch*," she let go.
"You scared us."
"yeah, and you scared me, I thought you were gona squeeze me to death!!" Kento chuckled.
"I'd give ya a noogie, but I'm not sure if I'd hurt you,"
"I'd pass anyway," he paused. 'Were is sage?"
"Sleeping, he saved your ass with Halo's power, it took a lot out of him," Cye chuckled.
"Well I'll just take these electrodes out of me and thank hi-"
"no you wont, your going to stay right there," Mia said firmly. Rowen blinked.
"But-"
"Stay."
"But!"
"STAY!!"
"shutting up."
"Good ^^," Rowen made a pouty face and stuck out his tongue as she turned her back, but she spun around, her eyes blazing.
"You.will.stay."
"Yes'm."
"Your so whipped," Cye snickered.
"poor Ro.. let me pretend like I care.... O.k. I'm done!" Kento laughed.
"ha ha, very funny!"
"We know," Something in Rowen's brain clicked.
"Oh my god! How's Cloud? What did sage do? Tha-"
"Calm down. she's.. um. fine. She just needs some rest," Rowen didn't believe them for a minute, but knowing what Mia would do if he didn't behave, he sunk into his bed.
"We'll be back later, get some rest ^^"
"Yeah yeah,"
**
"Mr. Sanada! Get back here!"
"I'm just gona see Rowen!" Ryo continued to walk to Rowen's room, despite the nurse's protests.
He was so busy looking over his shoulder he ran into something big and almost fell over if a pair of arms hadn't grabbed him. "Ryo? What are you doing out of bed??!!"
"kento?"
"What are you doing out of bed??!!" Mia cried.
"Trying to see if Rowen was o.k. and to stretch me legs."
"Back to bed,"
"but-oof!! Kento! Lego!!" The warrior of Wildfire suddenly found himself over a broad shoulder. He glared.
"Let go!"
"Rowen's fine, but you need rest!" Cye smiled.
"I do not! I'm fine! I'm not even tired!"
"You should still rest, even if you don't need it,"
"Thank you for bringing him back," Ms. Lei smiled with a giggle.
"Guys!" he whined.
"I'm. fine." Kento sat him on his bed with a small grin.
"Be quiet, or you'll wake Sage and Cloud!" Ryo's eyes immediately softened and he stayed quiet.
"He healed us, didn't he?"
"hai, and he wore himself out doing it,"
"I did not," a quiet voice complained. Sage was up on his cot, and a small smirk worked its way onto his lips.
"So.. When can I go home?" they sweat dropped.
"Ryo."
