Chapter 19
That morning I woke up in the hospital,only to find out that Kurama was not by my side. It was Sakyou instead. But as Kurama rushed to come see me,I gave him a strange look.
"What's going on?"I asked. There was no way in hell that Sakyou had anything to do with me here. What the hell was going on?
"He saved you..."said Kurama,not too proud. "I was still talking to Yusuke when this all happened."
"I had better go,"said Sakyou. And he left us.
"Kurama...what happened?"
"You used too much of your spirit energy I guess."
"No. Not that..."
"Nicole,at least you're ok."
I sighed. I didn't know what to say. I couldn't believe that Sakyou had actually saved me. Did he want me to forgive him or something? Because that wasn't going to happen.
"Nicole,you should be grateful that you're still alive,"he said as he hugged me and kissed me on the forehead.
"I know. I'm sorry. It's just...I just wasn't expecting him to save me."
"He was the closest to you Nicole,because I was still talking to Yusuke. And you aren't coming with me. You need to get your rest."
I sighed. "Fair enough."
"Good. I'm already worried about you as it is. What happened down there?"
"There were demons attacking me. I used this all this spirit energy to make some type of swirl around my body so when they came close to me it would..."I paused. I didn't think he was impressed by this or not.
"Kill them?"
"Yes..."
"And when did you first know about this 'special' attack that you had?"
I shook my head. "I don't know. I thought I would try it on Sakyou when I was in the woods,but I didn't want to hurt him after he hugged me,and especially after saving me."
"Good."
"What?"
"That could be your gratitude toward him saving you."
I didn't say anything. There was nothing to say because I knew he was right. So I just nodded.
"You ok?"
"No I'm not Kurama. I just don't think I can do this anymore. I want to go home."
"Just give it some time ok? We'll be out of here soon."
But how soon is what I wanted to know. I didn't want to get out of here soon,I wanted to get out of here now. Especially when it was safe.
"Nicole...I need you to listen to me."
I knew something was wrong by the tone in his voice.
"We...We can't leave until this is over."
"What?"
"If we do...then the world won't be safe again."
"What do you mean?"
"The world will become filled with demons. I guess I didn't tell you that,but Sakyou did have a plan to do that."
"How long did you know?"
"Couple of months..."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because...because I didn't know about you and Sakyou. If you had told me earlier then I would've said something."
I sighed. "I can understand that."
"I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault."
"I just wish I had told you sooner. But listen,I need to go. Are you going to be all right?"
"Where are you going?"
"Back to the tournament. We might have to start earlier than expected."
"Oh."
"You're going to be fine. Just go back to sleep ok?"
I nodded. That was the last thing I needed right now was to go back to sleep. But I obeyed Kurama and fell back to sleep.
