All She Needs is Some TLC

Part One

By Tanya Nonsutoppo

At a house of over two stories, a seventeen year old boy stood at the door, then walked in grinning. He looked like he was strong, but he was much more than that, he was a saiyin, a member of a race of warriors whose pride was great and who love the thrill of battle. This saiyin, with his short black hair and gentle black eyes and a scar on his nose was at the house, not because it was his house, but because it was his girlfriend's house, they lived right next door to each other. The boy looked around, wondering why there wasn't a certain blue-haired fox-girl tackling him in a hug. He looked around a bit more, "Hey! I'm here Tanya!" he called. There was only an eerie silence as an answer to him; he waited a bit, looking around the room, "… Tanya?" he was getting worried now; why wasn't she coming? He began to look through every room of the house Tanya would be in, he finally got to her bedroom. He saw that her door was closed, meaning she didn't want to be disturbed if in fact she was in there. He opened the door a crack and looked in cautiously, "Tanya?" he asked the seemingly empty room.

A soft groan was heard from the bed, the boy walked into the room and to where he would be able to see just who was on the bed groaning. He stopped short at what he saw. It was a thirteen year-old girl with blue hair that was being held back loosely by a scrunchi and who had the ears and tails of a Vulpix as well as a nose much like a vulpix's nose, she was sprawled out on the bed, extremely pale, only her cheeks had color, they were red, her pale skin and red cheeks showed quite clearly that she had a fever. The girl coughed in her sleep, then went into a coughing fit. She was so weak from the fever she couldn't even wake up.

The boy was extremely worried now that he saw her, she was the same girl he had been looking for, his girlfriend, "Tanya… please… wake up… its me, Blitz… please… wake up…" Blitz pleaded, when he got no response he placed a hand on her shoulder and attempted to heal her.

Tanya was being stubborn, even in her sleep, she undid his healing. Waking up, she opened one azure-blue eye, it was clouded, but she could still see clearly, "B-Blitz… d-don't… y-you'll g-g-get s-sick t-too…" she told him, weakness apparent in her voice, which was barely a whisper, but Blitz heard her all the same.

"I don't care if I get sick helping you… please… let me heal you…." He argued gently, putting his larger, strong hand over her small, slender one.

She shook her head 'no' at him, she was too tired out now to talk anymore for the time being.

"Please…" he pleaded; he wanted to heal her badly. He hated seeing her like this.

Tanya shook her head once more, then dropped back to sleep, she was already exhausted just from that.

Blitz watched her, his worry for her apparent, he ran off to get a few things and got back in a few seconds, he pressed a wet rag to her forehead and tried other ways to get her to at least feel a little better, when none of it worked he began to feel helpless, like he couldn't help her or wasn't able to at all. "Oh man…. Tanya… please be ok…" he bit his lip trying to figure out some way to help.

Tanya began to shiver; she was getting cold because there weren't any covers or blankets to keep her warm. Blitz saw this and frowned, then he picked her up in his strong arms, he went to her desk chair and sat there, Tanya on his lap in his arms. 'Blitz… strong… warm… loving… good… my Shitawashii…' Tanya thought without realizing it. Blitz started to rub her back with one hand while running his fingers through her hair with the other; he held her head close to his body, his fingers in her long, blue hair. Tanya smiled weakly in her sleep and moved closer to Blitz, letting him wipe her sweating face with a wet rag every once in a while.

Blitz noticed her sweating and was about to put her back in her bed, he thought better of it when Tanya began clinging to him when he was just shifting her so he could stand up, he went back to what he'd been doing and she eventually stopped clinging and relaxed. Blitz buried his face in her soft hair, breathing in her familiar scent, knowing she'd be alright in time, but at the same time impatient and wanting her to be better right away.
