OH COME ON! She's really nice and now I wont have mistakes!
Peoples:...
Um.. did I mention her name is Narijima?
Peoples: *claps wildly*
That's better!!
Once the light cleared, they looked.
Cloud's fangs had shrunk, and her eyes stopped glowing. The armor was gone, and the armor orb hung around her neck, now firmly held in a silver dragon pendent. Her hair was back to normal, and so was her face.
But, she was floating, dressed in pixy like clothing, and she had butterfly wings instead of dragon ones. Her hair billowed about her.
Ryo smiled, before groaning and falling over.
Kento lurched to his feet as she tried getting to him. "stay away form him!" she looked hurt, and her bare feet touched the ground. Flowers and lush green grass immediately bloomed under them. Kento hurled his fist at her, and knocked her off her feet. She fell with a thud, holding her face. "I HATE YOU! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!"
"kento I-"
"No! don't!"
"Kento! Calm down!" Kento kicked Cloud in the stomach. She whimpered, and grabbed her side.
"You can't even clutch the right part!" Kento yelled, face angry. But he was surprised to see blood spurt form there. She looked up at him sadly.
"From hell.." she whispered.
"You killed Cye!" Rowen and Sage restrained him. "Traitor! Traitor, traitor, traitor! She's a traitor and must be dealt with as so!" never before had they seen Kento so angry.
"calm down! You're hurting me!" Rowen yelled. Kento stopped. It was evident Rowen's head was killing him.
"Ro.. I,"
"I can help him," heads swiveled to her. She looked at the remains of the house and woods. She raised a hand, and silver light seeped out of her fingertips, settling like a nicely woven blanket.
At first, it only grew a little, but then it went faster. In 5 minutes the house looked good as new.
Kento growled at her. "Murderer." tears filled her eyes as she walked towards Cye's body were it lay on the charred ground.
Wherever she walked, green began to spread, and soon tall grasses covered most of the yard. White Blaze's roar filled the wood. Good thing he had been out hunting.
Cloud knelt in front of Cye's prone form. Her body radiated a shimmery bronze haze, flicks of gold here and there.
She was beautiful.
"I give you my gift.." she said quietly, her eyes full of sadness. "I always knew it would be.. forever." a tear fell into her hand, and crystallized into a clear crystal. It was pure of evilness and hatred. She cupped it in her hand, and gave a look back.
Ryo was just starting to waken, and the other two were just staring.
She sighed, and held it close. Regular tears fell form her eyes as she set it over the young warriors heart. His chest seemed to become water, and rippled as she pushed it in.
Then, there was life.
Cye's eyes opened, and Kento ran to him, bringing him into a hug.
Cloud was forgotten by them as they cuddled and fought over Cye who laughed, and tried to push away. Her appearance shimmered a moment, before reverting back to a complete normal.
Cloud was supporting herself with her arms, staring at the ground when she was wrapped in a warm embrace. "I'm so sorry.." she let the sobs overtake her. "I'm sorry.."
"sssh. it's alright. I'm here now. Sssssh.." Ryo turned angry eyes on Kento. "You should be ashamed,"
"wha-"
"Silence!" they knew better than to mess with their leader's temper. "She gave the most important thing to her for Cye, and after all that you did!"
"I-"
"I said quiet!' his voice was like thunder as he stood them both up. "she gave up the only thing she ever wanted, and you want to say 'I'm sorry'?" Ryo shook with anger. "You coward! You should be ashamed!"
"Ryo." his voice cut short. "I gave my legs.. for a life means so much more than a dream.. So much more,"
"What do you mean?" Kento asked dumbly. Cloud smiled sadly.
"I lost my ability to walk.. again.." Kento's knees crumpled. "Please. Do not be.. sad.." Ryo noticed the bleeding.
"Your hurt!"
"don't worry. it doesn't hurt.. any more." she passed out.
"CLOUD!" Ryo cradled her still form. It made no sound, and showed no movement except for her steady breathing.
"Ro, were did you transport Mia?" Sage questioned. "Can you transport her back?"
"I can try.."
"Good," the young man of Strata sat down in cross-legged position and began to concentrate on Mia's energy.
It took a few minutes, but a light blue luminescent bubble began to form, someone was inside.
Suddenly, there was a flash, and they shielded their eyes. When they looked again Mia was standing there, the breeze playing with her hair. "Sage." she calmly walked over to them. She gave Rowen a look of gratitude.
She caught site of Cloud and Ryo and her face immediately hardened. "Lets get inside." She ordered. Ryo gently lifted Cloud's body into his arms and followed them. The blood dripped onto the plants, staining them a cruel crimson color.
As he set her on the couch like instructed, and pang went through his heart. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he changed back to normal, the burden to great. He clasped her hand in his and buried his face in it. "cloud.. don't die ! Just don't die!" a hand was placed on his shoulder and he looked up at Kento.
"I'm sorry."
"it's. o.k. you really care for Cye. We all do."
"Out of my way!" Mia pushed Kento aside and Cye set a bowl of warm water down beside her. Mia could be very bossy when need be. "Kento, don't just stand there! Do get some blankets, Cye would you please go get me some bandages,"
"Sure," both trotted off to do what need be, while Sage was trying to comfort Rowen.
"Come on,. I know it hurts. Just hold on let the medication work.."
Rowen had never felt such pain, and such helplessness in his life. The pain he was experiencing was too great and his body shook with sobs. Sage wouldn't allow him to curl into a ball, he might hurt himself.
But to Rowen, dieing would be much better than the sheer agony he was going through now. Even cutting off a limp without pain reliever seemed like a walk in the park!
Sage thought quickly back to a conversation the doctor had had with him.
~~
"Take this," Dr. Kanaido handed Sage a small box. "Inside is a highly developed pain reliever. It's in injection form, use it only in great time of need."
~~
Sage jumped up, startling Rowen momentarily as he dashed up the stairs, almost tripping Cye and Kento in his mad dash to his room.
He knelt and reached under his bed, pulling out the box and raced back downstairs. He knelt in front of Rowen. "I have some pain reliever, just hold on, k?"
"K.." Rowen rasped out.
Sage literally tore at the box to get it open. When he did, he took out the first of the four inside and readied it. "Just hold still," Sage grasped Rowen's arm gently as he lid in the needle and pushed in the correct amount, then took it out.
Rowen's face became relaxed and his eyes slid closed, and the sobbing stopped. It was replaced by heavy breathing, signaling that he was asleep. Sage sighed in relief.
Mia gently tore open the fabric around Cloud's bleeding side. It was oozing out green, and it reminded Ryo of the green glow at the hospital. New tears filled his eyes as he watched Mia work, cleaning it out gently as not to hurt her more than necessary.
He had her hand in a death lock, but he lifted her up for Mia to wrap the bandages around her middle. A bit of blood showed through, but it didn't get too far.
"Ryo.."
"Will she be o.k.?"
"I hope so.. I really hope so."
