I'm glad that you enjoyed that chapter! Thanks for all the reviews! Hi
Caroline! Hehe.
Chapter 13: The Waking
Mulan woke up in a small bed and was surrounded by blankets and pillows by her head. She then noticed that she had a huge bandage around her back from all the whipping. She then jerked up and yelled, "Shang....." like waking up from a bad dream.
"Shang is fine Mulan." Said a voice but a familiar one. She turned her head and looked around but no one then looked down and saw Mushu, she embraced him.
"Mushu what happened?" She asked.
"Well pretty much I came in and found that both you and Shang were out and you both needed a doctor." Said Mushu.
Flashback
"Mushu! Mulan's wounds have been reopened and Shang has gotten hit by an arrow we need help!" Announced Wang. Mushu got off the back of Khan and walked over to the both of them and examined them both.
"Mushu...." Spoke a weak voice, Mushu turned to see Shang barely there opening his eyes as hard as he could; he walked over so that Shang could talk to him. "Take her Mushu....get her out of here and to a doctor, I'll be fine....." Mushu stared at Shang, knowing that both of them needed a doctor and fast, every second counted. "Men, Help Mushu ....with Mulan." Ordered Shang.
Wang took a hold of Mulan and placed her on Khan, then got on behind her so that she would not fall. Wang nodded his head at Shang; Shang nodded as best he could back he then looked at Mushu who put his little hand on Shang's arm. "Thank you...."
Khan was off galloping throughout the palace searching for a doctor any where. Minuets later they found two doctors running towards them, "Sir...Sir we can help her...." They reached out there arms and carried her back to their place.
"Mushu you stay with her I'm going back for Shang."
"Right" Mushu jumped off and followed the doctors. Wang kicked Khan and he went off galloping towards the palace once more.
End of flashback
"He's here?" asked Mulan. "Yes, but you still need to rest. And like I said he's going to be fine....Now rest."
"Mushu" she paused, "Why did he come? I thought that....well...."
"I'm not the one you should be asking." Mulan nodded and let her head slowly reach the pillow and eyes slowly shut.
Morning came and the doctors were in her room talking to her telling her about her conditions and how she would have to take it easy because of the loss of blood. She soon found herself entering the room where they kept Shang. She slowly peeked in and saw that he was still in bed lying peacefully. She went beside him and smiled, she never thought he would come and save her and even risk his own life for her especially since the way he was treating her and telling her that he no longer cared for her and what not. It seemed weird to her really. She shook her head and forgot about it and just sat near him and studied his face and the way his chest would rise and fall with his breathing. Not sure if she should, she placed her hand on his check and stroked it, with this touch he began to open his eyes ever so slowly until they were fully open and he began to look around until he met Mulan's eyes. His expression on his face didn't change but she smiled at him still. "Why did you come and save me?" She asked wanting and hoping for an answer.
Shang sighed and turned his head back to face the ceiling. Mulan's smile faded as she waited for an answer. "Mulan.....Mushu told me and pretty much made me and my men go....." Shang answered.
Mulan's eyes began to water, she knew that he was lying and there was more to the story. He turned his head hearing her sniffle. "Shang....I know he didn't....why can't you just answer the question?"
"Because it's not important Mulan!"
"But it's important to me Shang!" She snapped. Both their heads turned away from each other and there was silence.
Shang cleared his throat, "I heard about Bao, I hear that he's doing ok and will be out of bed in a week."
Mulan nodded as an answer. "Shang I..."
"You make him happy you know that right?" Shang cut her off.
"Yes....I know."
"He'll be happy to see again." Shang continued. "Maybe you should go see him?" Mulan could tell that he was trying to get ride of her.
"You don't want me here?" She asked.
"I didn't say that....but Bao needs you, besides as soon as the doctors let me go I'm out of here." Shang pronounced.
"What do you mean?" She paused, "Your leaving again?"
"I have to remember, so do my men."
"You can't leave.....I...."
"Mulan! I don't belong here; neither do my men....we live away from here...that is our home not here. You don't need us here any ways...."
"But Shang.....I need you here." She paused, "You didn't even have to come rescue me.....but you decided to any ways and you even jumped in front of me and took the blow of the arrow." Mulan was pleading she wanted answers as to what he did and why.
"I was there at the wrong time that's all....Now drop it!" Shang lied once more.
Mulan sat there in silence she nodded her head and began to stand. "Thank you...." She bowed down then left the room with tears rolling down her checks.
Shang laid in bad and sighed heavily.
Sorry I have to keep you hanging again lol. Hope you liked it!
