The Heart of Him and The Heart of Her
Chapter 7: Illness of a loved one is painful. Part 1
Rei blearily opened his eyes and saw that it was daybreak. Nina and Ryu was asleep, they're chests rising and falling slowly, both locked in an embrace.
Rei got up and saw to his bewilderment, that he was already dressed.
Funny…. He thought. I thought I only had my boxers on?
He shrugged. He walked silently out of the tent, and breathed in deeply. He smelled some-one cooking meat in the village, scents of different people, and the smell of the early morning air. It smelt great and refreshing.
Then, a scent aroused him. It was Momo; he could smell her female musk and her smell of Strawberries. It must have been very strong for Rei to smell it above the rest.
She must be sweaty, or tired to make the scent stronger.
Or, said an unpleasant voice in his head, she might be injured. No… He shook his head and walked towards the fire to cook breakfast. He rubbed two stones together, and managed to start a fire.
Then as he looked around for some food, he saw a bulky figure lying, only 10 feet away. There was no mistaking that copper hair, that blue bulk of clothes.
"Momo?" Rei asked tentatively. No answer.
"Momo?" He asked loudly and clearly, but the figure did not stir.
"MOMO!" He ran over to her.
"Momo? Oh Momo!" She was poisoned. Rei could see the obvious signs. No movement, and she was a light shade of lilac. She was icy cold.
Rei put his arms underneath the Grass-Runner and with his strong arms, lifted her up. She was surprisingly light. He rushed into the tent with her and set her down. She was taking harsh, ragged breaths and the lilac seemed to get darker every minute.
She opened her blue eyes slightly, and said "Rei…. I'm not gonna make- argh!" She started writhing and shrieking as though she was being tortured.
All Rei could do was watch her in pain and feel like he himself was feeling an excruciating pain except it was stabbing at his heart.
Tears were streaming silently down his furry cheeks, making the fur damp and bedraggled.
"RYU! NINA! GET YOUR BUTTS UP AND HELP MOMO!" He screamed suddenly.
Ryu and Nina woke suddenly. Nina sat bolt upright, and Ryu said "s'matter?"
Nina dragged Ryu up and rushed him over to Momo's side. Tears shined in her eyes as she saw Momo in pain.
"Momo…" She said quietly.
She and Momo had gotten close as they spent most of they're time at camp chatting about boys and girl stuff.
"RYU! Purify her quick!" She shouted at the bewildered Young Dragon.
Ryu did as he was told. A bright light illuminated Momo for a couple of seconds and Rei smiled and was relieved to see that Momo was cured, but then, Rei's smile faded along with the light.
He could not see Momo's chest rise and fall….
